  • So there’s this one user who had posted about a story idea they had wanting to know how old the protagonist is. Someone replied that looking at his post history, they would guess 21-23. So I clicked the dude’s name and man, what a crazy ride. Like 80% of his posts were either about what people thought about someone in their 30s dating someone who was 21-23 (and stated in one that of course if the older person were in their 40s-50s dating a 21-23 they should be killed) or how it was impossible for a 21-23 year old to ever have sex because women didn’t want someone with no experience. I always forget his name and his posts have branched out more, but I’ll be reading something that feels slightly unhinged and then someone in the comments will make a 21-23 year old reference and I realize who I’m reading. It’s like Where’s Waldo, the text-based version.






  • We started out playing on a system that’s in beta (DC20) using a scenario where the players could wind up intentionally or unintentionally winding up in another reality (I want to try out a lot of different systems).

    One of the players had a vision of a future where basically she killed the whole party, but while she knew this was her party, she didn’t recognize them. I threw this in to eventually use in one of the other realties.

    Cut to a few months later and DC20 was changing a bit too much for us so we switched to 5e to wait for the beta-ness to settle. I gave the players the opportunity to change their characters up if they wanted, and made the switchover by using a five room dungeon in the form of a dream sequence.

    At the end, everyone was their new 5e character except the one who had the vision because she loves her character so much. At the end of the dream sequence, I told her that as she looked around at her party, she saw the faces in her vision and subsequent nightmares. I wound up looking like a master strategist.






  • My music varies. Sometimes it’s music I’ve heard recently on loop, sometimes it’s music my brain came up with, but a lot of times it’s in the background. At times I don’t even notice the music is there until I realize I’ve been playing the King George songs from Hamilton on a loop for a couple of weeks. Either that or I’ll start focusing in on something external and start humming what’s in my head without realizing it. Right now, it’s Foxy Brown’s “Oh Lord” on muddled repeat. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
