I said "trans furries are the future of this medium" about RPGs in like 2022, and I have been nothing but vindicated since then

I’m very sorry, but if you think it’s β€œrare” to play a ttrpg by and for queer women, you have simply not looked at the hobby for more than eight seconds

An eternal struggle! I try to regularly run one shots and short campaigns with new people because I am ALWAYS looking for players to add to my roster.

I like to populate my habitual test runs of new games of with folks I’ve never played with before. Double duty of feeling out games and players!

Tonight in πŸ”ΊEpilogue: expelled the Triangle Agency from Chicagoland, started an art career, took the grand tour, forgot Iowa, became Space Emperor AND a kept a day job, started Ripple Kindergarten, resurrected corpses, brought on personality hires, and asked, "where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

Of course I love blocking strangersβ€”of course I do. But blocking people who think they’re *not* strangers because they’ve followed me for a long time? And therefore feel *entitled* to make rude comments? I think I love blocking them most of all.

tonight in my elfgame: dithered on an ill omen, befriended several owls, disintegrated an old friend who suspiciously appeared on our doorstep, sent a scout to explore a dungeon we previously skipped, blended in by Walking Confidently, and cockblocked an inquisitor to ask HER a few questions

A deer's antler, of course. They ground it to powder and coated their boots with it and tromped straight up the fucking acid stairs.

And I'm pretty sure every OSR blogger creamed their jeans at that moment and had no idea why. 4/4

"Didn't they used to make ammonium bicarbonate from hart's horn?" And I was like... "what?"

"Yeah," she said, "I remember one of my grandma's baking recipes called for hartshorn, they used to grind it down from antlers."

From there, she used a character's ability to pull an item from her bag: 3/4

When they talked to the mercenaries camped in the mountains, they told them about a set of stairs carved through a cliff that melted their boot-soles and burned their feet, better to take the long way around. While we were joking about simply wearing basic shoes, one of my players piped up: 2/4

Had a moment in Mythic Bastionland which was the OSR wet dream: The party learned there was a barrier between them and the hex they wanted to get to, and the "wonder" I rolled on the spark table was "acidic stairs." I thought that was too cool to pass up, so... 1/4

tonight in my knight game: left the holding to the True Knight, met the boisterous Dwarf, weaved fern parasols to shade the Devil's Light, met suspiciously well-armed mercs, snuck into their tent and read their mail, and climbed the acid stairs with the help of the Key Knight's baking knowledge

Godspeed, then! I assume you've also done Ironsworn with the oracles?

today in my dagger game: chased a mushroom guy, defused a magical bomb exploding a monster carcass into snakes, became part-time exterminators, found out all musroom guys DO know each other, met with the Underworld's Overboss, geared up, climbed down a hole to the deep wheat, and got hunted by bugs

today in my dragon game: ziplined away from an imploding colossus with its stolen brain, a picnic by a portal, an archwizard with a crotch like a Ken doll, visions of dread, pissed off the beer gardener, got scared half to death at a haunted house, and gave the fey a name LIKE A RUBE

posting 'mommy' under my friend's selfie & being immediately indicted and tried in absentia via zoom by the dung-age wasteland called the "united kingdom". the judge wobbles his habsburg jaw as he sentences me to hard labour. five years in the data mines owned by Lord Childtraffick of Molestershire
