hypothetical; you, as the DM playing Strahd von Zarovich, wish to vel... I mean welcome the PCs to Castle Ravenloft. You want to avoid the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor because it's too predictable. What do you choose instead?
I wasn’t clever enough to avoid staying for dinner so the usual; it’s taking forever, they’re snappish at each other and presumably there’s a chance she’ll snap at me (when you’re a kid you don’t know that your failure to hop to it in just the right way isn’t an innate moral failing). I feel very stuck, trapped and treading water.
Facing an old issue. ADHD might elegantly explain some consistent problems (RSD, inability to focus on this stuff I do only because it’s required of me and feeling stuck there, and I’m always doing it wrong etc). But that could also be PTSD/CPTSD right? And worse I know you can get CPTSD from people reacting badly to ADHD. Testing reveals work is where I’m least focused and motivated. I guess a label doesn’t matter, what’s important is the negative feelings and how to hack them.
My anger at tech for “everything’s been gentrified out of financial reach” and “brick and mortar places have largely gone away so Amazon can grind bodies, souls and communities to nothing,” is this Venn diagram overlap of resenting Musk, resenting AI and its fans, resenting NFTs, and resenting WotC. Just a lot of vague low lying consistent anger.
Shouting
“Get out of here bird, they need you on the ground.”
“WHAT? YOU’LL BE DESTROYED FOR SURE!”
“You heard me!”
“ONWARD MY BRAVE HAWKMEN! LET THIS BE KNOWN FOREVER AS FLASH GORDON’S DAY!”
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
