WW's favorite was called Greek Shepherd's Bread, and it incorporated chopped kalamata olives, minced onion, and sheep cheese.
I managed to bake an entirely reasonable facsimile yesterday that was good fresh with dinner, but was even better toasted with butter for breakfast this morning.
Hrrrrrrrrrrm.
Can't find old articles on Eberron - looks like WotC removed them from the site and Google isn't bringing them up.
Specifically I'm looking for Eberron-specific rules for the reincarnate spell and how that works. Any ideas?

Sorry, I never bothered with Eberron. Other than appreciating the war-forged concept, I really didn't want yet another setting at that time.

WW has to work until 8 Monday and Tuesday, so we're doing Fat Tuesday (observed) dinner tonight. Consequently, I have a big iron pot of jambalaya on the stove.
Eve will not so much as taste my jambalaya, because I have the audacity to mix my own spices and fresh herbs instead of just using Tony Chachere's. I also put andouille sausage in mine, and she uses hot links. I add prawns and she does not.
I'm not saying either one is better.
I will say that I am polite enough to eat hers and like it, whereas she is rude as hell about refusing to try mine.
Since we're both white Polish girls from Wisconsin, it's not like we have any claim to authenticity no matter what, so I think she should just get over herself.

If I drive straight through it's about 12 hours. Stop for a nap along the way, and I would have that for breakfast.

Hey, NH, I just found a dress on Etsy that just screams "GothBard needs to wear me".

No, unfortunately - at least not as far as I can tell.
They were free content formerly hosted on the WotC site; they used to do various lore articles and concept dumps on the site by people to generate all sorts of cool discussion and expansion into places where they couldn't print stuff. This was one of those by Kieth Baker (the creator of Eberron), and I looked at his personal site, and he... links back to that article (which is now defunct).

Soooo cool. WW was over at his mom's, working on her garage this afternoon.
I had been complaining that I really needed a proper GM screen, but in the Paizo store, the shipping is almost as much as the cost of the screen itself. So he dug out his old 1st edition D&D GM screen, and I printed out the inserts for 1st ed Pathfinder to paste in. Which makes me happy.

Just saw Dragon Quest: Your Story and... I can't recommend it.
Don't get me wrong! I'm not saying it's bad, exactly. Well. Kind of.
It's beautiful. It has feels. It is cute. It is pleasant.
It is duuuuuuuuuuuuuuumb.
The movie is rushed to high heaven.
The characters mostly make sense.
The ending is goofy in the extreme.
Just. I mean. No.
So, really telling you most anything else is spoilers.
So.
Like, writing fanfiction is a good thing. Great, even!
But it isn't necessarily something you want to show off. Because it's usually pretty bad.
This ending wasn't fanfiction.
It was fanfiction about fanfiction.
In a uniquely Japanese anime meta-way, it was... it just...
Sigh.
So, as an example, decades of the characters lives are brushed by in mere moments. Significant events happen off screen. It tries to put all this on screen and imply the rest, and all in a genuine and heartfelt attempt to be faithful to the original (I presume), but, honestly, the story would have worked better if it had been edited for this format.
The story itself was sound and the characters were pretty great. Very sweet characters.
It was... frustrating to for most of someone's career as a hero happen off-screen, but it was kind of cute to get the clip-show-like moments.
And the whole thing is like that. Beautiful to look at. Full of heart and spirit. And the ludicrousness of the ending was just terrible. Like, the bad guy actually had strong and compelling arguments, he was just a colossal awful jerk about it (and the hero's counter arguments were... uh... bad, also dumb, also kind of sad).
Anyway. It was a good gam- I mean Let's Pla- I mean highlight reel of someone's Let's Pla- I mean movie. Yeah. Movie. Moooooooooovie. Movie.
(I know it was based on a game. It does some cute things with this. It also does some silly things with this.)
On the whole, I enjoyed most of the experience and my kids loved the thing (even if my eldest was suuuuuuper cocky about having called a few of the plot-twists early on; though nowhere near all of them). If nothing else, it was a learning moment where I taught my kids that the protagonist had a bad argument and was wrong (even though he wasn't evil)! That was neat! (Earlier, I taught them about something he'd done right, so that was neat, too.)

OK. FaWtLers, challenge time for people better at Googling than I:
I need an image of a troglodyte cleric of Desna. In my mind, I'm thinking the classic pale-skinned trog, but calming her down quite a bit and doing a blue butterfly pattern across her face with wingholes over her eyes.
Yeah, the party rescued Azoresh.
Yeah. Divine intervention is SO happening.
Because it's how I roll.
(Well, that and a 1st-level trog cleric is going to be pretty useless to a 5th-level party, but provides great story potential for the future.)

I just hate the whole trope of, "Oh, the bad guys/demons/gods/whatever go ahead and ignore the rules and cheat and directly interfere in the mortal realm, whereas the good gods are far too noble/righteous/moral to ever go back on their word and do anything, even when they know the evil gods are doing it."
Because it makes good deities come across as stupid and weak.

I just can't recommend it. I'm not recommending against it, either - I wouldn't call it a waste of time, or any such thing. The film just doesn't earn a place where I could recommend it, and the ending is cringy.
