Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

Ambush at Beregost Temple
The Troupe visits Beregost on their way to the Firewine Ruins. They check in on Taerom Fuiruim who has found a way to counter the kobold poison used in the Nashkel Mines, and take the time to rest up.
Thai/Laos Border Crossing
Our visa extensions were running out, so our time in Thailand was coming to a close. We had elected to cross the border from Thailand to Laos, and take a slow boat along the Mekong River.
(Re)Starting ENDLESS Legend
ENDLESS Legend is a turn-based strategy game that is similar to Civilisation. You use settlers to build cities, research new technologies, advance to new ages, and conquer other nations through diplomacy and war.
Green Skirt Baron Butterfly
Variety is what brings a mod to life, and with every new butterfly, Bok’s Banging Butterflies grows more vibrant. On a recent trip along the Monk’s Trail in Chiang Mai, I spotted an uncommon butterfly known as the Green Skirt Baron.
Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
Taking a Break in Beregost
The Troupe visits High Hedge, hoping to gain some arcane insight on their way to Beregost. They seek out the Firewine Bridge Ruins, to follow up on Charleston Nib’s excavation of Kozah’s ancient society. Perhaps some of Thalantyr’s knowledge could help them on their journey.
Hotpot Soup and Soup Spicy
As our final day in Chiang Rai reached its end, we went looking for some street food to satisfy our hunger. We figured we’d stay close to home base and see into what the local night market had in store.
THOTH is Telling Me to Get Good
THOTH may seem straightforward at first, but it reveals surprising layers of complexity. I’ve completed the main set of levels, but now I have a new challenge being thrown at me. Much harder, much more frustrating, yet somehow still just as fun.
Liang Zhu: Butterfly Lovers
There is a Chinese fairy tale about the two lovers Liang Shanbo (梁山伯) and Zhu Yingtai (祝英臺), doomed to never be together. Liang Shanbo dies of a broken heart, and Zhu Yingtai throws herself into his grave to join him.
