Mad as hell that I run so many more ttrpg sessions than me dad, and yet when he pulls out his new scenarios they always have that special sauce.

I know that quality wins over quantity. But consistently HAS to count for SOMETHING.

The TTRPG group I started a year and a half ago just scheduled their first session without me! I'm so excited and I can't wait to hear about what they get up to!

Just based on watching Quinns Quest's video, Stonetop sounds like it is built to provide the type of campaign I've been wanting out of RuneQuest for a long time

I want to run a campaign as-is to learn the system in and out, and then get all of my RuneQuest playing friends together to do a Glorantha version!

Video for those curious, or who just like long and well produced YouTube videos:

A brief review of A-sha's "My Melody Pho Rive Noodle Soup: Chicken and Lemongrass Flavored"

Had it as an afternoon snack while working. The flavor is almost not noticeable. I like a lemongrass that get in my sinuses & this was not it.

I used the boiling water preparation method & let it sit a few minutes too long, but the texture of the noodles was not so soggy that it reduced my enjoyment.

A product more for taking pictures of than eating.

Just finished the session of Draw Steel I was running tonight. The party fought an Arixx in its lair & it completely remodeled the terrain during the fight! 😱

Pools of acid, pitfalls, erupting geysers, and brand new tunnels emerged as heroes found themselves dragged along in the beast's jaws!

(Not to mention the amulet they found and their induction into a semi-secret society)

I've only run it for 3 players at a time so I don't know how it holds up with more. So far though this is the most fun I've had running a "fighting monsters" RPG!

I had a dream I was playing a TTRPG with a group of friends of a person i sort of knew, who all knew each other but who I didn’t know, and there was a complex mechanic for tracking your character’s emotional state which I will draw for you because it was insane. I don’t know what the game was about. They kept saying “it’s not hard, you’ll pick it up so quick.”

I have no idea how it worked, only how it looked

The other players insisted it would make sense in a few rounds

I don’t know what oonduh and eönduh meant. I think eo means horse in a tolkien language but this game was more sf-alien-politicking-themed than fantasy-themed

This was a card game with events and points

I don’t recall what character trait/ emotion i had chosen for my upper righthand quadrant. You could choose what to put in each quadrant

I wound up with two pegs in the Succumb zone for anger and asked “is that bad?” And the GM said “not necessarily” and that i could “flip it for a character choice” since she (my character) was 15

“Flipping succumb pegs” visually meant exchanging two red pegs for a slightly larger red lentil-shaped disc, and in gameplay meant… i have no idea what it meant.

I was having a wretched and confusing time at the table

What the fuck?

Makes no sense, girl. This was a stress dream.

Makes perfect sense. You must git gud, or at least act with more oonduh.

When are you gonna do wizard stuff? You've been etching that same spell array for the last 5 streams lmao

"When am I gonna do wizard stuff? You're watching it right now man. This is it."

you should hunt more demons again

Laughs "Look man, that was last month. This is now. You gotta understand the role of violence in the cycle if you're ever going to thread the needle of your will into the tapestry of fate."

So are you not gonna accept ManaMuncher2003's wizard duel challenge?

"Okay first of all, I don't even know who this guy is. Second of all, you gotta remember that wizard duels are fought across the entirety of reality and the victor is decided long before the challenge is ever issued. But I guess no one ever taught you that."

you're calling us stupid lol

"No I'm just saying that there's a reason why I'm the one doing spells and you're the one watching me from your mom's laptop. No shame or anything."

fuck you and your entire mage guild you shitty hedge witch

"Alright buddy, you're getting annoying. Mods, send this guy to the mind prison where he has to fight a shadow doppelganger representing his deepest insecurities to escape"

NL's never shown us his shadow demon because we know he'd have hair

Failing to hold back laughter "Okay to be fair to that last guy, I gotta send you to the mind prison too. But I'm gonna give you thirty seconds to find a weapon to bring in with you because I have to admit that one was pretty funny"
