@Kusimanse clearly the clue to drawing skulls happily is to draw them on lined paper during Calc. And giving them REAL ANGRY EXPRESSIONS.

#drawing today, the aforementioned “you’d think a big mound of skulls would be a sheer joy to draw, actually no.”

Today’s #drawing. So a dwarf fighter, a human barbarian and a changeling rogue go into a bar and

Trying to cut short a potential panic attack. Trying to be at least a little kinder to myself than my worst inclination.

#drawings today

I often feel that as I've gained perspective, sanity, and self-directed compassion, the world's been steadily getting harder to live in, so I usually don't feel like I'm able to catch a break. Even though I can idealize the late 90s as a time with relative prosperity, I was still REALLY mired in my bullshit and REALLY miserable as a result.

If there's a point where me gaining emotional health and the world not turning to shit intersected, it would have been around 2011-2015. The Bush years were finally past and we weren't descending into this current horror. I'd made some big steps forward emotional health wise, and felt hopeful about art, and housing was finally okay, I was living in a rent controlled place in the nicest part of NorCal before NorCal really started sliding downhill. Even though there were definitely triggers, shit jobs and other emotional disasters, I had enough buffering me that I can look back on that time period as the last time I was really doing well.

It took me this long to realize why I was looking back on that so fondly.

I think I'm done protesting. I'm still alternating self-hate with being angry at them, and that's just a lot of noise and crowds as background for dealing with any sort of emotional stuff.

okay so working backwards from CR, I get a vague average of PCs doing 2.8-5 hp/round or 11.2-20 hp/round damage. It'll vary with AC and resistances which change PC chances of damage. (It also seems light.)

And I figure 12 minutes to adjudicate a single round of combat isn't terrible, since that means in an hour a 3-5 player group can resolve about 4 rounds of combat.

So assuming I want the monster(s) to last >1 round so everyone gets to participate (including a chance to appreciate how badass the monster is), but <10 rounds so players get to do

#drawing tonight, before I ran off to look at inks.
