I remember once I wanted to play an elf. What type? Well, how about Klarn elves from this one 70s comic. Things worked like that

That's an Arduinian skorpadillo. I used to have skorpadillo minis among my collection. Here they are with doom guards and knoblins. Gave them away as a fund-raiser for Planned Parenthood. Arduin has lots of monsters that are combinations of animals or monsters, skorpadillos & knoblins included.

The more I explore the OSR, the more I feel that the "recreate the nostalgia of youth" doesn't really get the appeal of original D&D in the first place. The true spirit of old D&D is the Arduin Grimoire. Utterly nuts. Borderline unplayable. Absolutely glorious.

Kennedy Center 990 for the year ended Sept 30 2025 had to be better than the 2024 numbers under David Rubenstein. Grenell & Arduin made up a $310M federal appropriation for renovations & booked it all to income. The auditors won't issue an audit report with those numbers. Another clusterfuck.
