Hello from Spokane, where we were literally off the chart yesterday! (AQI of 511 out of 500!) I went outside for five minutes to water the garden and my eyes were stinging and teary for a while afterwards.
But nobody gives a shit unless it’s the east coast, because this has happened nearly every year for the past 5 years. At least I can see the sky today.
Yoko Shimomura is my favorite Square Enix composer, hands down.
The sweating means I’m enjoying it. I don’t want a curry unless it makes my nose start running.
I have also had this issue!
Practice makes perfect!
I’d say the most important thing is knowing who your NPCs are and what they want. That’s what you should prepare outside of sessions. Once you have that, it’s a lot easier to deal with players throwing curveballs.
A constrained scope helps as well. Give the group a prompt like “make characters who want revenge on the Lich Queen” or “make characters who care about the city of Korvosa.”
Don’t tell my friends, but I actually like GMing more than playing now. It’s fun to have the galaxy-brain “always on” feeling and multitask information. (And it’s always your turn in combat!)
My players spent a good portion of last night’s session in a magic hot tub.
I’ve only gotten about 2 hours in, but I’m having tons of fun so far! The character creator has lots of options, there’s unique dialogue choices from your class/race/etc in just about every conversation, and I am a big proponent of turn based CRPGs.
Also starting a multi-player game this weekend, which should be fun!
Darksteely Dan, clearly.
The rabies test requires decapitation, so don’t worry, the debt went to the bat’s widow.
I mentioned it to my mom the first time I got "ma’am"ed. I’m a cis woman and I hated it! Mom, who looks much more ma’am-worthy than I, said the same thing. I don’t know if anyone wants to be a “ma’am.”
It’s a Gygax original from the AD&D Dungeon Master’s Guide.
At least it’s not the strumpet table
…This is just the alignment grid with the names changed.
Over 750 hours in Total War: Warhammer II.
Probably 2,000 or so in Guild Wars 2.
I read an article the other day that calculated Smaug’s net worth as $62 billion (although it is ten years old now). So technically, Smaug is sitting on 1.5 Twitters.
I was a Snuggie hater for many years, but I got an off-brand one as a Christmas gift probably 10 years ago and I live in that thing when I’m at home. It’s great for when I want to be cozy and play video games but don’t want to put my controller under the blanket.
Rub their back along walls and furniture like a bear?
You joke, but my husband does this all the time.
It’s also been confirmed that the game will give “affectionate and consensual romance options with a man temporarily transformed into a grizzly bear,” for example.
Excuse me, what the fuck?
