MARVEL X D&D: ASSEMBLED.
We're finally here! The past two weeks, I brought you reimaginings of thirteen characters in the Marvel Universe, seeing how they would be brought into a D&D fantasy setting. We've seen everything from Black Panther being made into a tabaxi, to the mummification of Sandman. Here you'll find all thirteen of my entries to the series, gathered together(even if they'd never team up in the first place)! From left to right, we have:
Doc Ock: Artificer.
Enchantress: Bard.
Scarlet Witch: Sorcerer.
Taskmaster: Fighter.
Ghost Rider: Paladin.
Doctor Strange: Wizard.
Black Widow: Rogue.
Black Panther: Monk.
Jean Grey: Warlock.
Drax: Barbarian.
Sandman: Druid.
Hawkeye: Ranger.
Anti-Venom: Cleric.

Louis Armstrong, nicknamed "Satchmo" (short for satchelmouth), was one of the most influential 20th Century jazz musicians. Along with his many musical accomplishments, he is also credited with spreading and popularizing riverboat jazz throughout the world.
Armstrong was born in New Orleans around 1898. He grew up in extreme poverty, but prevailed despite his difficult circumstances. His musical career started at a young age when he was given a cornet during a stay at the Home for Colored Waifs. Over the next few years, he developed a local reputation as the hottest young trumpeter in the Crescent City. In 1918, Fate Marable, a bandleader for the Streckfus Steamboat Line, hired Armstrong. Marable had a reputation of being a stern taskmaster, and took a challenge with the rough, untutored Armstrong. Though he spent only five years on the boats, this was a pivotal period for Armstrong's musical development and accordingly, for all of jazz.
Under Marable's direction, Armstrong developed tremendously as a musician. He learned to read music and started to be featured as a solo performer. His popularity on the Streckfus Line helped him mature from a talented but raw musician into a focused and versatile professional. He left the boats in 1922 to pursue his aspirations of international fame.
Armstrong's significance to jazz is incalculable. His role in spreading the regional jazz music of the river community to the entire world was only one of many achievements. Armstrong died in 1971, but will forever be remembered as introducing this uniquely American art form to America and the world.
Super duper organised day, with all my spare minutes going towards packing the car, checking the tires and window fluid, getting next weeks laundry out the way and leaving at Exactly 4:30.
Made it to the air bnb without fuss by 7 and I got to see hal again!!!! Happy daaaays!!
We watched taskmaster, cried laughing at lebron James, introduced myself to the host and her doggies, and went on a late night walk to the nearest town.
It was So Dark and there was no proper path there but we didnt get run over and we had fun. No food is served in the ancient town, some had some crisps in the pub.

But I'm sure they will make for a wonderful quilt for your new home.

"Not the least of the torments which plague existence is the constant pressure of time, which never lets us so much as draw breath but pursues us all like a taskmaster with a whip. It ceases to persecute only him it has delivered over to boredom." - Arthur Schopenhauer
Feeling a bit better fatigue-wise today, but cleverly replaced it with a bit of a hangover. D'oh. Not too bad though, and worth it for the fun evening we had.
Some interesting clouds gathering in the evening - glad I snapped a quick shot from the balcony, as I forgot to take any other photos today.
Caught up on the first episode of Taskmaster in the evening - and just about stayed awake until bedtime.
Weather started lifting on Thursday, breaking through into full sun for a couple hours around noon when we were up on Rothorn for arguably the best runs of the week.
Linds took a lesson from a Swiss ski instructor she described as taskmaster, and David, George, and I met her for a late 235pm lunch after we skiied nonstop from get-go until then. Best ski day of the trip.
That night, to the Whymper-Stube fondue and raclette restaurant tucked inside the Monte Rosa hotel.
