In short - the bright minds of Hubble announced the discovery of a giant face, made up of galaxies.
Surely, there is no reason to worry about this.

That's the impetus to more than one installment of the Hellraiser franchise.

Now roll system shock!

According to a YouTube video released earlier this week, a driver for Atlanta-based Trivium Games rolled a natural 1 on his truck-handling check as he transported three pallets full of six-sided Chessex dice down the interstate, and took a turn too sharply, up dumping over 216,000 of the blue, black and white cubes onto the asphalt.

It turns out CBR's list of the 13 most powerful D&D monsters neglected to include Interstate 75, which soaked up enough damage to annihilate the entire Deities and Demigods supplement without breaking a sweat.

Trivium Games claims that this spill amounted to the largest dice roll in history.

Who stole a 10-foot tall, 500 pound heavy fiberglass statue of a chicken?

Personally, I think it's a material component in a summoning ritual to summon the Chicken Lord Pqwaaa.

Some users theorized that the wind blew the 500 lb metal chicken off the roof?
What kind of wind does San Bernardino have?

Sounds likely to have been larpers in Kobold: The Charade (the KAMB Larp)...definitely need something for the Dire Chicken.

I wonder what powers Pqwaa can grant.
