Wow, that's so cool. I only know of one amateur wrestler. He was in the news fairly recently. Does the name Dan Gable mean anything to you? He wrestled at Iowa State and coached at the U of Iowa. I think he may have only lost one match in his entire career and, as a coach, his teams were perennial national champions. I don't know of any amateur or collegiate wrestling programs for females. But these days they're starting let women play on men's teams and men play on women's teams. It's all just a little too much for this 73 year old to digest.

Yeah, I know Dan Gable. Two of my teammates growing up were brothers and both wound up getting scholarships to University of Iowa. One of them was a National Champion his senior year there. So every summer my coach growing up would get all these Iowa guys so come to this huge weeklong wrestling camp and show us stuff, so I met a ton of great wrestlers from there, including Gable.

I don't know about historically, but in the Pathfinder Adventure Path module
Rise of the Runelords, there's a big chunk of the first adventure that takes place at the Sandpoint Glassworks, and it's this huge warehouse where glass in made alchemically. No real magic is used to make it. Just a lot of sand, these big furnaces, and they att different chemicals in the glassmaking process to make different-colored glass.
Anyway, I
was going to make a post when I got home the night before last, but when I got there I wasn't feeling too hot, and spend most of yesterday wiped up after a bout of food poisoning. So I mostly just slept all day, and by evening I went and watched my daughter wrestle another match in a duals against our crosstown rivals, and then went home and back to bed. Thanks for your patience. I'll have a post in the official in a few minutes regarding the room Gilly opens.
