Fun little procedural hexcrawl for a "find place X somewhere in region Y" season: I generated a stack of ~40 tiles, and then they party took turns (as HP allowed) rolling to be the guide. The better the roll, the more player control. Last tile in the pile was the destination.

Really hard for a real candy fan to see Charlie get that golden ticket when he bought like one bar when many of us have been supporting WW for years and made this company part of our lives. I'm happy for him and congratulations but he absolutely did not deserve it. I'm done.

Something I recently had a long think about were the accents I use to RP NPCs. Always tempting to use caricatures of groups from our own world in a pinch, but many of those groups only get caricatured because they're powerless or looked down on IRL. I try harder to mix it up now.

Frankly, my goal for the year is to be as passionate about one thing as @k8_lister seems to be about every episode of her podcast. Go subscribe! shows.acast.com/betwixt-the-sh…

Salting this one away in my @deesanction folder, but really it'd work in any game in which people get incarcerated. Maybe the PCs are the first ones to realize that there's a magical version of the Rita Hayworth poster from Shawshank Redemption in Cell 12? at.tumblr.com/peashooter85/7…

Sadly, this week is our group's last time using the Dying Earth ruleset, which had long been on my gaming bucket list. I love/d the whole, opulent thing; they loved taglines and temptations, but were mystified by trumps, pools, and refreshes. Switching to Knave from here on in.
