A DRAMATIC RETELLING

ME: Woo hoo beer!

MEANWHILE, IN A DARKENED ROOM, A SHADOWY FIGURE LIT BY SUNLIGHT THROUGH THE CLOSED VENETIAN BLINDS

MY STOMACH: yeh? Get Jimmy da Sphincter on the blower. I think it’s time we explained da concept of peristalsis.

Over a decade ago, I was part of a gaming group eager to play through some of the first PF1e adventures. We had a great time and made incredible memories together (the hat of disguise and the ogres! the sorceress' ancestry revealed, and the time she took to the sky in dragon form to face a marauding wyrm! the dreaded BROCCOLICH!) before the group fell apart, and naturally I wanted to get hold of those PF1e adventures (you can't capture lightning in a bottle but the bottles still have good associations...) and had good used bookstore luck

Without a good GM and the sheer chaos of an actual game, any premade adventure is gonna read as at least a little mechanistic; accepting that, these are still good modules. The tone-deaf amateurish "we wrote this in high school" material comes kinda into play in the modules, and what you'd never see while playing through them is it's baaaaad in the monster and world-building here.

Yesterday’s #drawings

here, have my favorite Sword track about what's arguably my favorite REH story

That was… fiddly. I inked this in around an hour and that’s pushing straight through so that’s even with being in a groove. #drawing

oh yeah, THIS time the texture and flavor of my hot and sour soup is way way closer to restaurant stuff.

VERY English wargamer talking about a Wargames Atlantic boxed set of what’s either charcoal gray werewolves or possibly Japanese commoner infantrymen, as he describes them as “ashy garou.”

Similar #drawings from yesterday or started Friday.

So I figured out a huge chunk of ADHD related triggers, and now poor body image is screaming at me?

Archaeologists have found a 3000 year old structure mentioned in the Bible! This large building, mentioned in Genesis as “Merkavot Gadolim v’ Mashomashim Shel David Gadol,” or “Big Dave’s Big Used Chariots,” is described as a place Isaac cautions his son Esau to avoid.

nightswimming deserves a quiet night
I'm not sure all these people understand
it's NOT like years ago
for fear of getting caught, the recklessness of water
they cannot see me naked
these things they go away
replaced by every day
nightswimming, remembering that night
September's coming soon
pining for the moon
and what if there were two
side by side in orbit around the fairest sun?

will my favorite Cure album help me power through assembling Ikea furniture?

Cell shaded #coloring I worked on today, trying to get back into the swing of that. Figured out stuff, but I'm still not sure this is a direction I want to go.

"Take the blue pill, and you stay in Wonderland, wake up and believe whatever you want to believe. Take the red pill, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

"well is there a purple pill I can take?"

"Take the blue pill, and you stay in Wonderland, wake up and believe whatever you want to believe. Take the red pill, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

"PIIIIIIILLLLLLLLZZZZ"

*starts cramming them into mouth*

"Wait, no..."

conclusion; I don't hate this album, but it's just not pressing my buttons right now.

I'm trying to figure out if I actually like "Fly From Here" - whether I actually find it a little TOO almost smug somehow, or whether that's just how "Close to the Edge" felt almost like a different genre

wait, Vangelis was very nearly the keyboardist for Yes?

no wonder this doesn't sound as good as Close to the Edge, it's a completely different album.

oh good. for a minute there I thought I'd run out of Yes album but I'd just paused it. You could listen to The Circle Jerks' entire discography in the time it takes to finish Close to the Edge
