#drawings today, a frost dragon pursues a flying wizard away from its den in an old temple in the mountains! Two adventurers are surprised by a resurrected or possibly undead wizard emerging from lava (I was thinking of the part in Hellboy when Rasputin emerges from a pool of blood)! Also I was listening to the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade soundtrack while drawing.

SOMETIMES IT RAINS INSIDE MY HEAD
TILL THE WORDS RUN DRY
WALLS ARE BREATHING, HANDS ARE REACHING UP
TO TOUCH MY THIGHS
NO THEY DON'T HAVE TO TAKE YOU AWAY

*runs off to "Underworld" to see if there's any new Planescape stuff with Tony Diterlizzi art *

do not respond to someone's story about a bad WtA experience as "[other player] watched The Crow one too many times" with "victims, aren't we all?"

2+ minutes LONGER than the one on their first album!

jag alskar det! (probably poor phrasing)

Eatin' kimchi and kochujang on hot dogs because there's nobody here to tell me not to.

You probably won’t be surprised here, but politics and adjacent stuff is pissing me off.

Can your boxers do THIS? *yanks waistband up to bottom of rib cage, promptly falls over screaming from the resulting Health Wedgie* #Subtweet

Just because I don’t feel I can safely voice my opinion, doesn’t mean I don’t *have* an opinion, or that I agree with what I’m supposed to think. I’m a product of GA public schools after all.

Hello shitty feelings about not being good enough to be one of the pretty, wanted people! Are you just here cause I’m stuck at work and hungry or do you have anything legitimate to say?

The new Dunkleosteus reconstruction looks less graceful but more fishy-mobile-teeth, so I’m definitely a fan.

slept until some total stranger started yelling angrily outside. He's been at it for 30 minutes now, I really have no compassionate or practical way to get him to stop and I really hope the hypervigilance eases up and I can sleep soon.

I AIN'T GONNA WORK ON

NO I AIN'T GONNA WORK ON
MOLLY'S LIPS NO MORE
SHE SAID
SHE'D TAKE ME ANYWHERE
SHE'D TAKE ME ANYWHERE
SHE'D TAKE ME ANYWHERE
AS LONG AS I STAY CLEAN
UNGH SHIT

"Furry Fandom is a system, Neo. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Huskies, sergals, raccoons, hypertrophic giant skunktaurs. The very minds of the people we are trying to save.

"Were you listening to me, Neo, or were you staring at the shemale German shepherd?"

"Uhhh"

"Freeze."

"This isn't the Fandom?"

"No, this is just the Plaza on Tapestries MU*."

apparently it's a "watch the end of The Matrix again" sort of evening

gotta say if you don't know about the trans metaphor, you might not spot it, but even without being trans per se that ending monologue is basically someone holding your shoulders and bellowing I'M QUEER! right in your face.

… but matching weapons vs armors from different periods and places wound up being arbitrary- Gygax liked “long swords” so they had huge bonuses. The chart also listed weapon speeds (f’rex a two handed sword is so slow you might attack at the end of the round even with good initiative rolls) and minimum space to use (no two handed swords in sewer fights). Only one player I know of used this chart, and even I gave up on it.

For the perplexed; 1-2e had AC opposite from now. Lower was better, so a PC might be AC 10 to 2 (then they introduced armors with even better AC). Monsters had arbitrary AC - the system didn’t really reflect armor wearing monsters. AD&D was rooted in historical wargames, so there was a chart of weapon modifiers to reflect that f’rex a bec de corbin or a falchion hit plate armor differently EXCEPT not only did AC not reflect armor type (that could be Dex, magic, arbitrary)…

May I please have another weekend entirely about masturbating and thinking about D&D (lest you wonder these things aren’t related)? Next weekend I’m already planning to do my taxes, which is only KINDA like trying to hit something in 1e.

unfortunately combining bad anxiety, hitting a weird worry, stomach upset, and possibly a front moving in, means tonight is not great on sleep.
