The Poke / Twitter

Go on, then - who remembers DM of the Rings? Well, in yet more proof of the old adage that 'all of this has happened before, all of this will happen again', Brennan Mulligan on Twitter has reinvented the concept behind it (apparently without knowing about the original).

"The confusing parts of Lord of the Rings start to make a lot more sense when you realize it's actually just a transcribed #DnD campaign. THREAD."

On Tuesday in 1975, Chien Shiung Wu became the first woman president of the American Physical Society, partly for her work in disproving the law of conservation of parity in 1957. This assumed law was an intrinsic part of quantum mechanics, which, in very simplified form, said that the laws of physics didn't know their left from their right. (If any actual physicists can explain parity and why its non-conservation is interesting, I'd love to hear it, because I... can't!)

A nifty bit of paleontological detective work has thrown out a surprising result about Denisova cave, the Siberian cave which lends its name to one of modern humanity's closest relatives. We found out a few months back that one of the bone fragments in the cave was from a hybrid - a girl who lived 90,000 years ago, whose father was Denisovan, but whose mother was Neanderthal.

Well, recent research has shown that not only did the two species meet and interbreed - they also shared the cave for something on the order of a hundred thousand years. They may not have actually lived there at the same time, but both species - our nearest cousins - were in and out for the entire time.

(I'm torn on whether Underground Hominin City-Cave is a better setting for a comic, a game, or a roleplaying campaign...)

PPC News

The Department of Redundancy Department is into the third day of its general strike, with the picket line outside Admiral Pansy's office remaining unbroken. Interviewed by the Multiverse Monitor, Agent Rosalind said that 'this intolerable behaviour is completely intolerable', and stated 'our first demand is that our demands are met'.

Reactions from the rest of HQ are a bit of a mixed bag. Agent Tiranel of Technical Errors claims to be 'sure it's far more intolerable where we are' (which her partner immediately corrected to 'less tolerable'; an attempt by Saphie Ellings of the DBP Troll Division to promote 'fewer tolerable' was met with fury). Members of the DIA have been overheard muttering that 'we should get to arrest them all', or possibly 'we should get them all a rest' - sources weren't clear. The only firm response has been from the Janitorial Division, which swept in en masse to prevent the DRD from writing slogans on the corridor walls.

Parity by SATV-26S Athena on 2019-02-02 11:07:00 UTC Reply

Basically, it means that if something is affected, it will react, and if affected inversely, it will react inversely. This applies to electromagnetism and strong interaction, which is the force that keeps atoms together.

Wu proved this does NOT apply to the weak interaction, which is the force that tries to split atoms apart.

I don't know why that's important, but if people got a Nobel over it it has to really be important.

I remember DM of the Rings! by 61516 on 2019-02-02 02:00:00 UTC Reply

Shamus Young, its creator said in introduction to the first comic:

"Lord of the Rings is more or less the foundation of modern D&D. The latter rose from the former, although the two are now so estranged that to reunite them would be an act of savage madness. Imagine a gaggle of modern hack-n-slash roleplayers who had somehow never been exposed to the original Tolkien mythos, and then imagine taking those players and trying to introduce them to Tolkien via a D&D campaign."

Good thing you're self-aware, so sayeth the dragon battle comic.

Not like I know what the Knights would do in such a situation. Except Jacqueline would get help from a dragon or a very large pseudodragon, because Jacqueline is me when I was obsessed with HTTYD, and therefore she loves dragons and dragons love her. :P

Oh, but she's so disgruntled over it. by Huinesoron on 2019-02-01 15:20:00 UTC Reply

Or possibly defensive? Either way, whenever she's around the rest of the Order, she's adamant that she doesn't want to go around seducing people, but since she knows she's going to have to...

Hopefully in a couple of weeks we'll see her do something at least slightly different. (And it's not like Little Miss Smartypants INT has more than one button, either...)

Snrk. Knights art update: by twistedwindowpane on 2019-02-02 23:37:00 UTC Reply

I have figured out everyone's designs except for Scarlet, and I have drawn Cass and Myla and started on Sakura. I want to finish the whole cast before I post the art, though. (And possibly color it as well.)

Also, have you heard of Draw the Squad? This is an Internet phenomenon where someone draws a group of blank people (a la bases) in various humorous positions and others are invited to finish the picture with their friends, their OCs, etc. Here's one I found that would totally work for the Holy Order of the Bumblebee 'verse:

(CHA rests her leg on CJ who is dropping the mic, and the one laying on the ground is D&D!Willis plus an Alter Self spell that turned him female. Cass is the one being completely bewildered by all of this.)

I recommend checking out Bodies in Motion. It's really cool, for one thing, and drawing from life (sort of) will help you improve your anatomy, which is important to understand even if you end up drawing stylized figures. {= )

You can look at individual frames. by Neshomeh on 2019-02-04 15:17:00 UTC Reply

If you click on one of the items, it takes you to a sort of movie player, and you can select any frame to stop and look at. Also, some of them have multiple camera angles.

But it's true that it won't give you an example of anything you could possibly want to draw. That's why knowing how things work is important, so you can extrapolate while not bending any bones or joints in impossible ways. ^_^

I also like Joumana Medlej's guides for a simple how-to approach. Her human anatomy collection is all here.

Tolkien would agree with you. by Huinesoron on 2019-02-04 19:37:00 UTC Reply

There's actually a fair bit of nudity in Tolkien. Nienor, of course, but also Saeros (who Turin set to run naked like a beast) and maybe Beren and Finrod ('naked' there might just mean 'exposed'). And then over in LotR we have 'run naked over the grass' from Bombadil, and naked Frodo in Cirith Ungol... okay, it's not Game of Thrones, but it's there.

What it isn't, ever, is sexualised. Actually, I'm wrong about him agreeing with you, because it's not even aesthetic- it's always symbolic, either of innocence or vulnerability.

I don't think that's just a stylistic choice, either. There's a page of sketches by Tolkien of home life at Gypsy Green, including several of Edith (from behind, Tolkien hated faces), and one of then clearly shows her bare to the waist while washing up:

I dunno... put that together with the fact that when he does talk about sex, Tolkien often tends to the poetic (he literally has a poetic Qenya term for the act), and the fact that this Catholic family only had 4 kids (my dad's parents had 9), and stopped immediately after the first girl... has the idea of Tolkien being asexual been floated before? Because the argument is there, for sure.

*grabs mini-Balrog* by Snowblaze on 2019-02-06 15:37:00 UTC Reply

I take it the missing "u" in "Quenya" was a typo?

:D Nope! by Huinesoron on 2019-02-06 16:01:00 UTC Reply

When Tolkien first constructed his Elvish languages, there were two main ones: Qenya, or Elf-Latin, and Gnomish. Over time, he changed them both significantly, and ultimately renamed them as Quenya and Noldorin, which then became Sindarin.

I was actually slightly wrong in my recollection: per this page, the Qenya 'pukta/puhta' and Noldorin 'hoith' aren't strictly poetic. The actual poetic word is 'gwî', which is a term for what I'm sure Tolkien would call the male generative organ. They show up in various lexicons, alongside a host of related terms.

I've seen the source-texts for these words described as 'Tolkien's little black book', and honestly, it's hard to argue. If you want to write smut in an Elvish language, get hold of a copy of Parma Eldalamberon 11 and use the Gnomish Grammar and Lexicon. Just accept that nobody on the planet is going to understand what you've written.

(Or, y'know, just use Ardalambion's Quenya course and figure out how to adapt the words.)

A drabble, no less! And since I realised 'Bronwen' is perfectly acceptable Gnomish for 'Constance' ('bron' = steadfast, constant; '-wen' is your standard female suffix), it's also a PPC story!

Since so far as I know we have exactly one agent who could make any sense of it (Norlosse of DAS, who speaks Qenya but can probably pass in Gnomish), I suppose I'll offer a translation. Rot13'ed, because while it's not exactly super dirty, it is moderately explicit.

BRB, editing all my stories to refer to Maglor as Zntybe. ^^

There's actually a lot of useful Gnomish words for the aspiring smut-author. I used this list, which comes with a handy grammar page; aside from the words I used, I noted 'pregnant', multiple words for 'swallow', lots of 'pleasure' and 'desire' terms, a word for 'darling'... and a host of things like 'bite', 'slave woman', 'untie', 'rope' (also glossed 'thong', hem hem), and the astoundingly suggestive laus - 'juice, sap; energy, vitality'.

And he did subtitle the Lay of Leithian 'Escape from Bondage'... I'm just sayin'. ^~

(Don't worry - a few mistakes every now and then are good for Oldbie humility.)

Thinking about it, it's appropriate that Gnomish is the language that can write the best smut. Uniquely among the Elven languages, it was viewed as a language of slavery - it was spoken among the people who, at the time of the Great Tales, were almost all thralls in Angband (as referenced in the original Tale of Tinuviel, where Beren was hated by Thingol not as a mortal, but as a probable escaped slave-gnome). So they should have the earthy, blunt language to go with it. Qenya, and later Quenya, were the poetic languages of Valinor, while Noldorin and Sindarin were spoken by free peoples in Beleriand.

...

Aaaaand now I'm imagining Gnomish romance novels circulating in the mines, with occasional injections of torture porn written by Orcs to horrify them.

_{And then they form a League for the Preservation of Fictional Purity, and start writing poems where they rescue the victims of the Orcs' stories...}

hS, as above, so below

The idea here is that if one of the slaves gets pregnant, she's pulled out of the mines for a year to preserve the breeding stock. If the story continued, Hîrwin would try to use the opportunity to escape, and potentially rescue Alchon; but, the First Age being what it is, I bet it'd end in tragedy.

And that is enough - in fact, far too much - of me writing dodgy ancillary-canon smut in languages literally no-one in the world can read. Good grief.

It's not generally my thing for publication, but in this case I'm treating it as a puzzle - how much can you do with a severely limited vocabulary and grammar? There are, for instance, no verb forms other than past and present, which - even allowing present to serve as imperative and infinitive - is pretty restrictive.

hS

Well done! by Neshomeh on 2019-02-12 16:12:00 UTC Reply

Didn't end up trying to translate from the Gnomish myself, I'm afraid—I've fallen down a very fun writing well that's taking up most of my brain right now—but I have read the translations, and compared to the Gnomish, and noticed some interesting things about the grammar. Possessives at the end of phrases, right? "of his," "of hers"? Strange! But does make it more poetic, potentially.

The language would be very interesting to read aloud.

That's right. by Huinesoron on 2019-02-13 13:44:00 UTC Reply

'Irtha' ('of her') is attested, but 'ontha' is my own formation, though a pretty obvious one: 'on' and 'ir' are 'him' and 'her' respectively.
