again, how The Shadow soundtrack from the 90s is a little like what would happen if Batman were actually Don Michael Corleone and he fought V'Ger.

"I am honuhed to be heyah on da occashun of y'daughtuh's weddin'." *cracks knuckles*

The idea that ancestry choice is like everything else in the known world of the PCS still fairly familiar, but as the party investigates underground/the wilderness further replacement characters are likely to be from those unfamiliar places has a "crunch" aspect too in any level adjustment. This feels very old skool.

Obviously I think "a cosmopolitan society resulting from centuries of magic, history and trade, creates no easy racist decisions about who are good and bad guys and also gives players more choices" is a good thing.

But now I *also* think, "we have some fairly distinct differences but at the end of the day we're all semi-culturally assimilated anglophones and it's the outside world which is full of weirdness we can't easily relate to" is a very 1970s understanding of the world. Kinda gross and definitely not how the world is now.

you know what would make me less rabidly pissed off at the entire world? That's right, a discussion of LIFTED PICKUP TRUCKS. Shiiiiiiit.

"this would fix me" and it's just being a fictitious nonhuman with a perfect body living in a post-scarcity society

* Unrelated figures, a ghoul or vampire bride, an orc assassin/Shargaas devotee, and a black backed jackal anthro.

* Unrelated; three genasi (half genies), a water genasi challenges a part halfling fire genasi as his earth genasi bodyguard moves to intercept. Trying to come up with genasi portraits turned into 6 residents of Calimshan in general.

#drawings today, lots of eye contact tho

wait you're telling me y'all moved to LA, THE city in which I've spent just enough time to sample amazing soup dumplings, a rare in a lifetime kosher deli experience, fusion bulgogi burritos, a Brazilian place, and Fatburger, and it was a "food swamp" where you went to McDonald's.

Did you know the covid vaccine doesn’t work? That THEY want a mask mandate back but nobody will let THEM? Etc etc. well now I do thanks to older people talking next to me while I’m trying to draw orc assassins and listen to John Williams through earbuds.

Needless to say I’m nowhere near them now.

Today's definitely being a "I really wish I could commit to talk therapy for a while" sort of morning.

feeling the connection between things;

the world is expansive, inclusive and additive. That includes that situations aren't simple dualisms (and in my case, simple dualisms I tend to believe and really hurt myself with all basically scream that I'm terrible, irredeemably unlovable, relating right back to being trained life is some sort of ugly competition) and that I don't know the whole story (which covers both a lot of anger towards others, and the horrible fatalism I direct towards myself).

being middle age is bobbing your head on saturday night to EDM you're listening to (at home 'cause you don't know where the raves are) after having a half edible (to deal with stress) and then your neck makes real interesting cracking noises. Don't get old, kids.

I've BEEN naked therefore ready to take a kinda baked shower ever since putting on Shpongle, so I just need to finish listening to my favorite Infected Mushroom track first

okay and maybe also Astrix on Mushrooms, it's a pretty awesome track.

@duske hope you're doing okay, wolfie. *nuzzles*

music maker man, your beats are bad.

no not GOOD bad, BAD bad!

you will be pleased to know that the rave music from Samurai Jack (aka the Best Samurai Jack episode ever) holds up AWESOME when the half-edible kicks in

SCIENCE!!1!

I really REALLY need to get a new electric teakettle.

whoa

ever go "hey, I want to listen to Purple Haze" but how about a cover that makes me want to run around in dead leaves in the cemetery or pull an all nighter to play "Changeling"?

well you're in luck because this exists

The point at which I find my folks kinda unpleasant because none of us have eaten much in the last 10 hours and we’re all cranky AF.

Hey, do you like wholesome, Norman Rockwell style reminders of America’s largely mythologized agrarian past?

She’s right behind me, isn’t she?
