Amonkhet battlemap#001 Edifice of Authority 32x56
Amonkhet is a plane of dichotomy. Beyond the lush river valley spreads an endless scorching desert. Accursed, desiccated mummies roam that desert, while carefully embalmed mummies attend to the needs of the living in the glorious city-state. The people have everything they need. They are protected from the desert heat and wandering mummies by the magical barrier called the Hekma, and they spend their lives in focused training, honing body and mind to perfection. Yet they eagerly anticipate the time when they will be permitted to die in combat and leave this world behind.

Amonkhet battlemap#002 The Naktamun City 32x56
Naktamun was located at the banks of the river Luxa and protected from the horrors of the surrounding deserts by the Hekma, a magical barrier maintained by the god Kefnet. During Nicol Bolas's initial attack on Amonkhet, Naktamun was the last city that stood against him and was to serve as the nucleus of the re-emerging civilization centered around him. Mummified dead did most of the manual labor of the city, building monuments and harvesting foodstock.

Amonkhet battlemap#003 The Veins of Lazotep
Lazotep is a magical blue mineral exclusively found in the world of Amonkhet, which interacts with necromancy in strange and powerful ways. It was the main reason Bolas turned his attention to Amonkhet.
Originally, the people of Amonkhet used Lazotep to seal the wandering dead in tombs. The mineral was mined extensively in the Broken Lands by servant mummies, and used in the creation of cartouches, indicating its role in controlling magic and the preservation of life force and a person's deeds in life.

Mirrodin #001 The Glimmervoid Basin
The Glimmervoid functions as the plane's desert, uninhabited and unexplored, interrupted only by four huge towers that radiate with strong magic. Each is etched with the ancient runes of the ur-golems, a nearly forgotten race of powerful artifact creatures from centuries past. When taken together, the towers are a warning about Memnarch. The Glimmervoid is in the same general location as the Razor Fields, or between the Razor Fields and the Oxidda Chain and the Tangle. The reflective metal surface can be used to send spells in several directions at once.

Mirrodin #002 The Contested War Zone 32x56
During the Phyrexian takeover the Glimmervoid became a Contested War Zone. After the compleation of the plane, the previous surface of Mirrodin became the wasteland known as the Mirrex, coming to mostly consist of the Glimmervoid. However, Mirran survivors can harvest the plates to make hexgold, a substance that staves off phyresis.

New Phyrexia#002 Gitaxian Probe 32x56
Jin-Gitaxias is the blue-aligned praetor of New Phyrexia.
When the Phyrexians infected Mirrodin, it was a world of five suns. The five praetors each rose under the influence of each sun. Jin-Gitaxias was influenced by blue mana, so he looked for things with knowledge. He grabs everything he can and improves on it.He is cold, brutal, and believes he is the smartest of the praetors.
Jin-Gitaxias' enormous body is made of chrome, with clawed arms and a curved spine. Exposed ribs and pointed vertebrae are displayed like metalwork. His face and mouth are monstrous and bird-like, with too many sharp points and long, flat teeth. His voice sounds like metal grating against metal.
He hates Vorinclex and considered Karn too incompetent to rule. He once captured Tezzeret, and brought him before Karn. Although Elesh Norn is aware of his machinations, Jin-Gitaxias appears to keep at least a neutral relationship towards her for the moment.

Mirrodin/New Phyrexia Encounter #003 SeedCore
According to Phyrexian Field Reports there initially existed three spheres in Mirrodin: the surface, the interior, and the furnaces. The Phyrexians worked to add further spheres in an attempt to recreate the original nine-sphered Phyrexia
The Seedcore, the innermost layer, is a place that serves as an incubation chamber for New Phyrexia's Invasion Tree, Realmbreaker. What once served as both Memnarch's observation deck Panopticon and Karn's throne room and prison while he was the Father of Machines, Realmbreaker's branches grew and have created Omenpaths, connecting New Phyrexia to other planes.
It contains a replica of Norn's throne made of woven roots. The air hums with a chorus of dissonant Phyrexian voices. The air shimmers with static that tastes of aether, pierced by shafts of buttery, golden light. A hole in the floor leads to a ten-foot drop onto a hovering porcelain disk just above an even larger hole that leads to Realmbreaker's roots.

Phyrexia encounter #004 Path to the Norn's Palace
The Fair Basilica, a white-aligned sphere built in the image of Elesh Norn, decorated with statues and monuments to her. It contains Norn's throne room, though she now resides in the plane's second layer and designates the unification of the plane to Atraxa in her stead. Though no light from the plane's suns can reach this layer, its structures generate their light; the layer's walls, composed of ossified Phyrexian corpses of those Norn deemed perfect, glow white, while crimson capillaries etched into its marble-esque floor glow blood-red.

[Ravnica Battlemap]Jarad's Hideout 32x56
Jarad vod Savo, a Devkarin elf Lich, was the former guild leader of the Golgari Swarm. Jarad is a pragmatic and cunning leader, not particularly evil by the normal standards of many necromancers or liches, but driven by a cold, calculating view of life and death. His primary concern is continued survival. He wields significant political power and maintains a delicate balance of alliances and rivalries with other guilds, particularly the Dimir and Gruul.
While Jarad is deeply connected to the traditional necromantic practices of the Golgari, Vraska brings a new perspective. She wants to modernize and strengthen the Golgari’s political influence in Ravnica. She also seeks to position the Golgari as a more powerful and independent force, rather than merely a guild that dwells on the fringes of society, as Jarad’s leadership seemed content to do. Vraska’s vision for the Golgari contrasts with Jarad’s, and this ideological difference creates a rift between them.

I try really hard to make Dungeons & Dragons sound fun to non-players.
“It’s like an interactive campfire story!”
“You get to be the creator and master of your own adventure!”
“There’s normally food!”
“You can literally make up whatever you want!
…Well, within reason. There’s like rules or whatever. Don’t worry about that right now…”
“Big fan of a character or celebrity? Shipping two with all your soul and being? Bribe your DM!”
But, I’m pretty sure all they hear is, “Blah, blah, blah, I’m a friggin nerd, there’s excitement in my voice, and I’m grasping at straws- you should walk away now!”
Question, how do you make fandom friends in real life?? Like I don’t like talking to people but i need someone to talk about fandoms, I’m going to go insane
Doctor who
So the end of the 6th season ended on a bang. So Stephen Moffat wants us to believe that the doctor will quite down a little? I personally don`t see it. Also he left us thinking that we might know his name? I hope he doesn`t. I mean isn`t not knowing everything the fun of it all? I like the idea of an unknown source running around fighting to save the earth and other planets the good of it all. I`m also hoping the Stephen Moffat doesn`t end this show soon. Cause once all the cards is all on the table, you can change anything. I hope for all of the nerds, and the geeks sake (even me) that Stephen will make the right choice.
The IT Crowd is one of my favorite shows in the entire world.
Me:Literally doing nothing.
My brain:Hey remember that fandom you joined 3 years ago and forgot about...... you should see how they’re doing.
Me:Shut up! Its 2:35 in the morning! Go to sleep!
