Celtic Cross in the #Glasgow #Necropolis

y'all got any #BBS suggestions for games and little things to make it interesting to log in regularly?

Assume pokemon and the link where you have a virtual pet/entity you manage may be popular? I don't want to build something lame, just brainstorming.

Something Ravenlofty? TTRPGs done over console? XP awarded to challenge victories?

I really want my BBS place to feel like an actual place, like Snowcrash's metaverse or cities in IRE MUDs like Achaea. Not 2nd life, just a baked in niche culture.

De resten van de ruim 2500 jaar oude #Achaemenidische hoofdstad #Persepolis en van Naqsh-e Rostam, de #necropolis van de Achaemenidische koningen, zijn in gevaar. De twee in Iran gelegen #UNESCO-werelderfgoed-sites worden bedreigd door #bodemdalingen door overmatige grondwaterwinning.

Spring in the Glasgow necropolis.

Needless to say, Glaswegians flocked to both theatres to watch the drama unfold, both on stage and off, but eventually, a magistrate had to step in and ordered the two theatres to perform on alternating nights to to stop the feud getting any further out of hand.

Why this story of warring theatre impressarios hasn't yet been made into a TV drama series, I don't know, but if anyone's interested, I'd be happy to write it.

This is one of my favourite memorials in the Glasgow Necropolis, and there's an amusing story associated with it. It was erected in memory of the theatre impressario John Henry Alexander who died in 1851, and who already owned theatres on Carlisle and Dumfries before coming to Glasgow in the 1820s.

Grand monuments in the Necropolis, Glasgow's first major Victorian cemetery. Opened in the 1840s, it marked a shift in burial practices in the growing city from people being interred in small burial grounds surrounding local churches to the use of large centralised cemeteries.

The grand processional leading from the medieval Cathedral across the Bridge of Sighs, which carries it over the Molendinar Ravine, to the Necropolis, Glasgow's Victorian city of the dead. It was designed by David and James Hamilton, and was built in the 1830s.

In total, there are about 3,500 grave markers in the Necropolis, but around 50,000 people were buried here, so the majority lie in unmarked common graves like this one.
