More dungeons and dragons facts please?
It was originally played with only four sided dice, but grew to include other dice as numbers larger than 4 were invented.
The first edition included not only Fighters, Clerics and other currently used classes, but a few anachronistic ones such as helicopter pilots, media moguls, and electrical engineers.
D&D has inspired “LARPing,” an activity in which people dress according to their characters and fight across parks and cities to involve themselves in the game. This is how the sports of hunting and fencing began.
Several books, films and TV shows have been made based on the game, including Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and oddly enough, Oliver Stone’s JFK, which is not based on the assassination of president Kennedy, but on the RPG “Military Industrial GURPlex.”
Water buffalo have been known to play Dungeons and Dragons when they think humans are not watching. They are not said to be very good at it, but they have fun and that’s the important part.

I probably chased more days in 2018 than ever before. Beginning on April 28th out in eastern Colorado that began a busy spring season on the plains, and then with the monsoon kicking off in late June. About five straight months of chasing. Near 40k miles or more driven. Tens of thousands of time-lapse frames taken.
This year I went with the idea of not releasing a spring chase film like I have in the past…with Pursuit, Vorticity, The Chase…etc. 2018 was a tough season in general, but I also wanted to make my next film as spectacular as possible, so I decided to stockpile this year, chase next spring and then come out with Vorticity 2, which will hopefully be chock full of the most amazing stuff I’ve ever shot. I know many people told me they were looking forward to seeing what I shot this year, but you might have to wait a bit…and I appreciate your patience!
I will likely begin work on my next Monsoon film here shortly as it was actually a pretty good season and may warrant being Monsoon V, even though I was going to do the same thing and wait until 2019 to share the next in the monsoon series. That may still change, but as of right now, look for it in the coming months!
So with that being said…I hope you enjoy this short trailer that highlights some of my favorite clips from 2018. Just a taste of the good stuff and a preview of upcoming films.
Technical details: Everything shot with two Canon 5DSRs and various Canon lenses. One night lightning clip shot with a Sony A7R3.
Processed in Lightroom, LR Timelapse, After Effects and Premiere Pro.
Song - ‘One Precious Moment’ by Ryan Taubert
Whenever anybody gets on how they think cats are horrible because they don’t shower you with easy-to-read physical affection I’m left wondering how much respect or understanding they can possibly have for fellow human beings who don’t all fit their exacting social standards.

I think there’s something to be said about how much you can plan a trip, what you think you need and what you want to see. You can put all the effort, thought and research into things, but when push comes to shove you’re out there, and things change. Sometimes it’s for the better and sometimes it’s frustratingly worse, but it’s all a part of the journey.
The Moment is a short film that’s about just this. With the support of a Sprinter van from VanCraft, we spent 5 weeks getting as deep into the North American winter as we could, in an attempt to find out what really inspires us as respective filmers, photographers and skiers…

LUSH Series - Gouache by Madeleine Bellwoar
You wrote a novel about a demon falling in love with a human. Then, you summon a demon in order to get “real” feedback and constructive criticism. To your surprise, the demon laughs at your work.
we should legalize polyamorous marriage for all the other reasons we should but also because I wanna see what polygamous divorce looks like
