No new #drawings today but analog inks. Minotaur faces two Greek humans in their lair, human monk and dwarf ranger are ambushed by (naked!) spider-goblins, late period armored cavalry versus undead jackal warrior, and a pirate is surprised by a fire-blasting brass golem!
The plot of this Dungeon adventure is basically “let’s take a bunch of NPCs who’ve never been on either a ship or a farm, land them on Oerth’s version of Skull Island, and call it a colony WHY ARE THINGS GOING SIDEWAYS?”
Luckily for our heroes fate and play tests mean very few challenges in this module are likely to take out the hull/rigging/helmswoman. It’s all stuff like a horrible chaos phage infection, nori flavored shambling mounds, and untrained Profession (Sailor) checks.
The contrast of “I am vengeance! I am the night! I am BATMAN!” with “I yam what I yam,” gets me to how Wolvie is “the best there is at what I does BRAAAAP.” And if Wolverine’s basically Popeye through the teen edgelord filter, is SNIKT actually something Wolvie says out loud, equivalent to Popeye or Hellboy saying WHAM?

Now what if your PTSD comes from childhood? What if every time you’re upset even subtly makes you feel you’re back there, and it stacks with lack of control that might make anger flare up in even a “normal” adult?

Okay so small child meltdowns while annoying are sympathetic, a child doesn’t conceptualize a longer term; for all they know this is the last cake pop ever, the only time they may ever get to see Grandpa, they’ll be overheated forever etc. If you have PTSD maybe why your upset can be childlike is that you like a literal child have no long term concept.
It is kinda wild how most things I don't like are somewhat abstracted, and Twitter disintegrating has that but also immediate upsets.
A little like how I KNOW McDonald's isn't healthy, mistreats and underpays workers, etc, but I still eat it now and then, versus if they also put insecticide in the burgers?
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.
