"So the world exists only when we're perceiving it, and the reason things stay the same when nobody is observing them is because god is looking at everything which keeps it all in place. How is that different from things just actually existing and we look at them?"

"It isn't!"

Sponge:

1 tbsp fast action dry yeast

2 tbsp white granulated sugar

1 cup warm water

1 cup (125 g) plain flour

Dough:

1 1/2 cups (188 g) plain flour

2 tsp salt

1/3 cup olive oil

Cheese mixture

3 cups grated mozzarella

1 1/4 cups feta cheese

Handful freshly chopped parsley

Garlic butter

4 tbsp unsalted butter

1/2 tbsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp salt

Egg wash

1 egg (beaten)

Crust:

Handful grated mozzarella

Method:

1. Mix together your yeast, sugar, warm water, and flour in a bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel, and allow to sit for 10 minutes.

2. After 10 minutes, add the rest of your flour (1 1/2 cups), salt, and olive oil to your sponge,

3. Mixture together grated mozarella, feta cheese and finely chopped fresh parsley; set aside.

4. Take a large wooden spoon and make roughly combine dough ingredients.

5. Knead your dough for 8-10 minutes on a clean and oiled work surface until smooth. It is recommended not to add extra flour but I had to because I was short on time. It still came out beautiful as I only added a little bit! :)

6. I got 5 mini dough balls out of this. Cover with a damp towel and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

7. Whilst that is resting mix together melted unsalted butter, garlic powder and salt.

8. After 10 minutes, lightly sprinkle flour on your work surface. Roll out each dough ball about a half an inch thick. 9. Roll out the dough balls in a circle; add plain grated mozzarella to the sides, fold to create a stuffed crust and transfer onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.

HOOKJAW HERMIT - paguroidea nerka 

Defining the borders of the great Shale Flats and hidden Chiton, the Brittleclaw Mountains rise high into the sky. Among pale blue peaks, springs of clear water bubble from deep within the rocks and feed into a winding river system that leads all the way to the western sea. These glistening waters hold life of all varieties, and tucked between the roots of rock-fruit trees and flowing mountain kelp, one species in particular alters the lives of all who live among the Brittleclaws. The full cycle takes about twenty years. Hatching in the shallow mountain pools, high above the clouds, the Hookjaw Hermit starts life about the size of an apple. The soft shelled hatchlings are vulnerable, and easy pickings for predators. From river eels to even other hookjaw young, the young crabfish have plenty to hide from. Littering the pools, rock-fruits that have fallen from trees above make excellent shells for the hermits. The soft flesh within the fruit has rotted away, leaving a hollow sphere of stone, split open and ready to be inhabited. Most scholars assume these trees are why ancient hookjaws chose these mountain pools to spawn over any other location - over the course of the twenty year cycle, plenty of fruit will fall to the water below, their rinds the perfect starter shell for a young crabfish. Then, a great journey begins. Out of the pools, into the rivers, down the mountains, and out to the coast. The hookjaws let the water carry them in this time, ready for a rich life at sea. And there they stay for decades, eating, and growing. One hermit can go through over one hundred shells in its lifetime, each shell originating from a huge variety of different species living amongst the seas of The Continent. After twenty long years, the mating season begins, and the usually peaceful life on the coast erupts into mayhem. Lumbering from the waters, the hookjaws begin a pilgrimage, up the mountains to the very pool they spawned in. This time however, they won’t be swimming. Great armoured legs carry the beasts up the mountains, through villages, trampling crops, farmers and anything else caught under the rising red tide of carapace and scales. In this time, the females become high value targets for poachers. Swell with eggs, each the size of an apple and sweet as honey, many are hunted during the run. But for each female hunted for the prized roe, countless hunters are lost to the snapping claws of protective and hormone frenzied males.  Those that survive the run find their way to the pool that they hatched in, so many years ago. After mating, the hookjaw hermit's life comes to an end. The hulking giants come to a peaceful end, surrounded by familiar waters. Their bodies rot away, feeding the roots of the rock-fruit tree, leaving behind their shells nestled amongst the regalia of their ancestors. Next spring, the young will hatch, and a new generation will follow the river, out to the sea. A problem for twenty years from now, I would imagine…

a strange preoccupation with sword-and-sorcery violence that looked a lot like someone had simply slapped the Neopets license on top of their homebrew Dungeons & Dragons clone rather than building something to suit the subject matter;

a discussion of player safety tools which seemed to have been copied and pasted from a totally unrelated game, and which (among other things) advised GMs to discuss with their group exactly how much explicit sexual violence was acceptable at their table; and

several sections which appeared to have been deleted entirely and replaced with written allegations that the contracted author(s) had not been paid for their work, and the project's alleged editor didn't notice before putting the preview up, I guess?
