“According to Greek mythology, humans were…
“According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate beings condemning them to spend their lives in search for their other halves.”
~Plato’s The Symposium.
I’ll reblog this every time I see it.
Just reblogging because, well how often do you get to reblog Plato?

Ironmaster RPG session 21/9/13
Another Ironmaster session last Friday.
This week was mostly a downtime session as over ten years of character and world history shuffled itself past.
This means that the Character's are now living in 1970 (in an alternate history), two characters have discovered they are Fæ-blooded Mages, one a Trodder, the other a Doomweaver, the other two are technologists, one working on Technological solutions to problems easily solved with Magic, the other has trained with James Thomas, a welsh Blacksmith who also works as an alchemist for Darby Metal Industries.
Neither of the Mages has yet been “officially” trained or tested (even unofficially), but they have discovered that their family seat and titles were stolen by another noble, and their mother gave her life getting them out of the family manor.
The older Mage has made a bit of a name for himself in the criminal underworld, mostly simply for being known. His younger sister has become a solicitor, and has made the step to the bar—she's been Doomweaving her way quietly toward being made a Judge and getting officially handed some magic, without laying claim to her family titles (and the potential trouble that may disturb).
The smith has a bit of a natural gift for metal working and after working for Darby Metal Industries for a few years building Moon Clippers for the proposed Luna Colony has quit that job and is now an engineer working for the Tesla corporation designing and overseeing their new Electrical Spaceships. He has even been out to the under construction Luna base.
The increasingly mad genius character has a little sideline for himself growing Mechanimals, and spends the rest of his time doing technology and scientific research for a mad Cambridge Professor (who used to work at Oxford but recently moved because Cambridge is where they are working on electronics and even transistors).
In short each of them has brought a whole load of descendants and have now all become Mercari (although they are all at different Scales).
Next time I unleash some Plot Dæmons and really get the ball rolling on their adult lives…
Cue dramatic mood music and “Muwahahaha!”.

Changed Theme again
I know, I know...[caption id="attachment_7933" align="alignright" width="300"]
How the theme looks[/caption]
But the new theme is more carefully balanced for the dizzying world of HTML5 and CSS3. Some things have been tied up, the animated CSS and SVG backdrops are gone (although I might throw some of them back in as "images" on some of the pages... I'll see where they can go) and in general its all a little lighter and faster to load.
[caption id="attachment_7935" align="alignleft" width="200"]
And this is how it looks on my old IPhone 3GS...[/caption]
The theme should be fully compatible with most mobiles/tablets and browsers, but please use the mobile version if you are having problems (Although T13 is not available in mobile version... yet - so if you are roleplaying then you will need to click that view full site link).
I've removed the tab navigation which was causing a huge problem to Firefox users and have removed the change from portrait to landscape modes (which was more hassle than it was worth).
