Jianbings are just the best damn food. It's like eating a taco bell crunchwrap supreme for the first time but Chinese. Egg/millet pancake, bean paste, crunchy tofu skin, and other stuff. This one has a hot dog in it. Buck fifty for it and they make it on the spot in 3 minutes. It's perfect.
Are you interested in me being here because I'm making the bare minimum to learn beijinger slang and eat like a local and be polite and not like the hive of Italian tourists or cuz you need my 5 star rating?
Yeah I followed SDs advice and typically removed the save as the roll to cast becomes the save. I looked at the cursed scroll spells for some ideas too and kinda eyeballed it. Some examples:
To do a boast you had to be before another priest or spend a downtime activity in a temple. You swear to do a deed and the table (the gods) judge the deeds worthy or not. If you are you roll on the deed table for a boon.
Here's some of them tetratic spellbooks. Oh I also had some custom basic DND spells added to the lists.
Just finished this and it's my favorite of the trilogy? Hard to say but it's so damn good. Just an absolutely brilliant mix of fantasy worldbuilding, a splendorous murder mystery, and sad queer characters.
Well i was already radicalized before but now after reading this book I'm donning the joker facepaint and finding stairs to dance down. Climate policy everywhere should just be "do the opposite of whatever Ireland is doing".
I really really liked The Price of Peace by Zachary Carter. This book goes beyond just being an interesting biography but it's a 20th century political history refresher. The details of the Treaty of Versaille and Bretton Woods conference stuff was really interesting.
New idea creeped into my brain. what if a platoon of the 75th rangers got jaunted into the Dolmenwood.
We played TQY last year lovingly called Life on Mars. We played Apocalypse World as a follow up game in the setting we made.
Ioma’s Mask of consuming plant is just one of the many cool spells in my game set in the Tell Arn setting using Electrum Archives ruleset. I upload weekly. Typically sunday nights or monday mornings my time.
Galahad and the Grail might just be the absolute best thing I've read. It's an amazing poem intended to be read aloud. It's a must get, y'all.
Today is my first mother's day since my mom's death. And it's rough. So this morning I'm soaking up the beautiful Irish morning with a cocktail aptly called Growing Old And Dying Happy Is A Hope, Not An Inevitability. Love you, mom.
It's starting! This weekend is the character creation for my new open table game of Fabula Ultima x Ultraviolet Grasslands.
My cocktail menu from my recent christmas party. Can you guess what was the most popular?
Coming next year! I'll be running a new open table campaign using Fabula Ultima set in the Ultraviolet Grasslands. The (Fabula) Ultima Vulgaris Grasslands. Basically a psychedelic JRPG oregon trail. Yes sessions will be recorded
Really liked it. It's no Tombs but nevertheless I found the conversations between ged and arran extremely rewarding. And I think the way it ends with Ged is very poetic. Suiting.
Pretty good! My friend called this kinda genre of sci-fi cooperation porn and I totally get it. Very anti-mothership ttrpg inspiration. But very good! If you like his other book the Martian you'd like this. A little corny and a little tiresome by the end there but im glad I read it before the film.
Inventing the Renaissance got recommended to me by like at least 4 friends and for very good reason. This book was made for me and didn't disappoint. it does my favorite gimmick "what we were taught is wrong" but it isn't about superiority. It forgives and is a love letter to historiography itself
I'm sorry but this word play the game can suck a dictionary. this is like the 5th word that aint in its arbitrary database.
Well friends it has finally comes down to this. 5 and a half IRL years later we've arrived at the end of the Great Pendragon Campaign today. The final years of the Arthurian saga.
@friendly-ghost.bsky.social's wargame deepest valley might be better than Root
the 1930s hollywood moral codes got me down, so I snuck in a Paul Blart and the audience loved it. Hollywood Animal is seriously so much fun
A Drop of Corruption is fighting for the best book I read this year. Picked this up after Red Seas and I couldn't put it down. Just a solid mystery/thriller book set in a low fantasy biopunk setting. Sequel to The Tainted Cup but more standalone sequel.
Rumours of the literary pursuits' demise of are exaggerated. I wanted to DNF this book and frankly should've. Its pacing is deplorable. So slow then so fast. Story was so forced and unbelievable and idk wasteful? All for about 5 chapters of good quality stuff. Zero intent to continue the series
My reading pace also fell out of a window and blackmailed by my growing obsession with helldivers 2 and fixing cocktails. Um this book I think would be better read than audiobooked. So many names and places felt too similar to keep track. It felt so broody and morose compared to the other two.
