A while back someone posted a thread about how it super isn't cool that non-Jewish creatives constantly use The Golem, protector of the Jewish people, as a fantasy monster or robot stand-in. Since then I've been thinking about other ancient robot stories which people could use as inspiration for their stories, games, etc.

In this thread I'm going to give a brief overview of a handful of ancient robots. These stories all have different interpretations and retellings, but these are my takes.

there is no reason for me to have done this

1) There's vendor booths outside that'll sell you supplies, or "I Conquered the Dungeon and All I Got Was This Leather Jerkin"-type items

2) Skeletons in the first room don't even look up when you walk in

3) Glossy trifold brochures with complete maps littered everywhere

4) No one reset traps after last use (spike pits open, etc.)

5) You have to take a number and wait in line to face the "villain" at its center

Hey everyone! @DialMforMara is running a charity auction for some pillows that weren't accepted into the Desert Bus craft along this year, to get people hyped up for Desert Bus.

The pillows show the four shift logos, are hand knitted, and are really cool.

(Money goes to child's play, but doesn't count as a Desert Bus donation, it just seemed a shame not to do something with the pillows since they were already made)
