Re: Real-Life Weirdness
But for gaming purposes, what on earth could have been "something new" found in such ancient math texts?

Of course, finding a number of tablets about things the Babylonians couldn't have known, like Pluto, or quarks, leads us straight into Madness Dossier territory.

A seven-year-old schoolgirl has pulled a sword as big as she is from Dozmary Pool -- the Cornish pond where King Arthur was said to have returned Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake.
She's Queen now, you know. Them's the rules. |

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
So I was randomly doodling around on Google Patents, as one may be inclined, and came across these tidbits that could be useful for some brand of techpunk.
a) An 1890's Russian inventor's exoskeleton- Apparatus for facilitating walking b) I think the intent was heartfelt, but the result seems rather diabolical- Apparatus for facilitating the birth of a child by centrifugal force c) And of course, you can check out all of Tesla's patents- https://patents.google.com/?inventor=nikola+tesla

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
Sometimes you just find things on Etsy.
https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/NooboSlowpokoPanda I want these to be a thing in Dungeon Fantasy.

I guess those flowers at the end of the movie had descendants. ***** Willows, Dandelions. Then my mind wanders to Pokemon puns: Bulba-makeyou-saur, Lick-a-tongue (to see if you're tasty), etc. Edit: I was afraid the profanity filter would catch that one flower. I meant it as a pun on cat and flower. No harm meant.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
According to this not-at-all over-hyped story, although Cephalapods are usually thought to be loners, some octopuses have built a giant underwater city named Octlantis.
Nope; no possible way to tie this into a Call of Cthulhu campaign. Move along.
