  • Pratchips 39-- Monstrous Regiment: Borogravia

    Yes, that lovely little nation that has a word that means, “the sun has risen. Let’s make war!” Borogravia is the aggressor in Monstrous Regiment—except according to them. According to them, it’s everyone else that pushed them into war. They’re that kind of country.

    There’s a vampire in the Monstrous Regiment. Name of Maladict, in fact. Coffee addict. Black Ribboner. Hallucinator, in flashsides, that he’s in Vietnam when he runs out of coffee. Very scary.

  • Pratchips 37-- Monstrous Regiment

    A Discord member (and Patreon subscriber) requested that Monstrous Regiment be this week’s book. And so it is.

    This week I am happy to bring you some news and rumors I heard in the Mended Drum, including the story about what happened when the Bursar tried Extreme Sneezing. Fortunately, there were no fatalities. 

    The deadline for the Portal Poetry Contest has been extended to Sunday, September 20th.

    The Re-name The Portal contest has been closed. I have settled on a new name for the show.

  • Pratchips 36– WFM : Special Sheep Liniment

    Scumble, Bearhugger’s Whiskey, Special Sheep Liniment… the Disc has no shortage of distilled alcoholic beverages. But Special Sheep Liniment is the favorite of Tiffany Aching’s father, and was the favorite of Granny Aching when she was alive. And of course, the Nac Mac Feegle love it. What more need be said?
