a tweet showing a map of St Barth. Every dot on it shows a billionaire's superyacht. They are all on the island to celebrate New Year's Eve.
A hexcrawl heist forms in my head:
"How many nobles can you steal from before the clock strikes midnight?"

This is your permission to be excited, to let your emotions flow.
Don't be shy, be true to your nature.
If you are super stoked about something let your body and emotions show this.
If you really don't like a thing let your body, mind, and spirit align towards that.
Be fully into your existence.
Flower buds, spring blossoms, warm sunshine.
Warm tea under a wool blanket on the porch while the rain drizzles on the room and trees.
Dawn bird song, whispering winds.
Go answer Tucker's question!
Find the good things, revel in them.
frog swallowed. I literally can't be killed.
An early spring sunset in the Pacific Northwest. Light blue sky has scattered vibrantly glowing orange, pink, and gray clouds across it. Silhouettes of tall conifers stand dark in front of the sky.
Spring is the season for transitions and rapid growth.
Like the apple tree buds and plans to grow fruit this year, so can you.
• Pick one of your problems, spend the growing season solving it
• Grow it over 6-9
• months
• Reflect and review over the winter
• Grow new goals again in the spring
Transitions suck.
It is so much nicer to look forward and imagine The New Thing than it is to do the work required to get there.
Being aware of the natural inclinations that occur during these transitions reminds you it is normal and you aren't alone.
Focus. Do the work. Let the process unfold.
A flute made out of bamboo sitting on snow. The flute is a native american style 5-hole flute and is decorated by charring a striped pattern into the bamboo with a blowtorch.
I made a flute with my 4 year old yesterday.
What is the last thing you created?
Where you took raw materials and turned it into something else?
If you post here you take thoughts and turn them to a story.
If you made food you took ingredients and made a meal.
Find the joy in everyday creation.
Can you feel it?
The shifting thoughts, the anticipation?
Reflection time is ending, it is time to transition to spring growth.
Pick something you want to work on this year. Dedicate a season to it.
Spend time growing, not dwelling on the thoughts in your head.
Focus. Let change happen.
After a certain age, you are no longer the product of your environment or how you were raised. It becomes a personal choice to live the way you do!
Describe stuff, roll dice, curse or cheer, do it again.
It's such a good way to learn the birds. Even cooler when you go back and hear the same birds again - it's their living room you just walked through, they live there. They'll be there tomorrow too, go say hi!
Could really go for some WARM sunshine, ours is just cold and bright recently.
He's doing his best, ok?
There's the whole sentient interdimensional ttrpg system thing in lit-rpg that's pretty big too.
Better start a new game project instead. Just in case you have a new idea that doesn't fit your current one.
Heart was such a good romp. Started as an angry gnoll slave, ended as a barely walking fungal colony wiping the concept of slavery from the mind of the world.
You made something yourself, you created something from nothing. That's a win!
Take time for yourself, let your mind wander. Find yourself in the silence of boredom.
Nicest dude in RPGs @jpcoovert.bsky.social has a rad video up on #ZineQuest & #ZineMonth projects you should check out!

24xx is great for what it is. I really, really like it.
For me though, I need more horizontal progression baked into the system. While the FKR approach of do it to do it is great, I want to see the characters grow in fun ways and use the new tools to do new things. So yeah, system matters a bit.
Life is short, spend it in alignment with your nature, not aligned to addictive corporate media.
1. Spend time without modern distractions, be bored
2. See where your interests lie when bored
3. Do these things instead of wasting time
Take time each day to pursue your own nature and goals.
Finally! I got home before the sun was down!
Amazing beautiful sunset of golden apricot and flamingo pinks. Was too busy chasing the kid around the yard to get a picture for you all, sorry.
the majority of positive feedback on social media becomes a single click, the "like" button. it means little. there's no "dislike" button so negative feedback is written and detailed. a reversal of this would cause the soul to blossom. the dislikers reduced to stats. the likers florid, verdant, kind
Many systems have built in methods for player fudging - meta currency. Most don't have a GM meta currency, although some like Coriolis have doom points. If the system doesn't have it, don't do it!
3. Water - stock up water (jugs in freezer, some in garage, buckets outside for flushing)
4. Food - stocked away non-perishable food before hand. Big bag of rice and a big bag of beans in the freezer.
5. Medical - medications and emergency management. Burn ointment is nice with the extra fire.
I love the cozy camping vibes power outages bring. We've done our part to be ready for them so they go pretty smooth.
1. Shelter - have a non-electric or generator heat source. Blankets and coats. (gas fireplace)
2. Fire - have a way to boil water and cook (camp stove and jet boil. Extra gas.)
Bane/boon situation. Like a Lame Leg would give penalty to movement stuff, but a bonus towards resisting pain and moving carefully.
LITRPG man, crazy books. Lots available on RoyalRoad and kindle unlimited. Dawn of the Void is a good in-the-middle-of-the-apocalypse modern day take. How to Kill a Demon in 10 Easy Steps is fun too! Dungeon Crawler Carl is super popular and well done too.
I like the slow degradation, it's what I use in my WIP.
When HP <= 0, damage stat and take injury that takes d6 days to recover. More damage goes to stat and gives +1 injury. Roll d6 < # of injuries or take scar. Roll d6 < scars or go comatose. Choose to die, blaze of glory or retire.
