An old, dog-eared novel, a grizzly hide rug, the corniest puns wrapped in baritone hugs, black licorice toffee, something absurd, and a musical number with too many words.

I made this deck of cards for writing prompts and storytelling games. I'm happy with how they turned out, and am now slowly working on expansion packs.

Five playing cards spread out, but still overlapping. The cards read Disadvantage, Quest, Locked Away, Memory, and Adversary. The Quest card is the five of Doves (the birds being the suit of the cards). Locked Away is the seven of Hawks. Memory is the seven of Owls. Adversary is the six of Swans. Disadvantage is a three, but the suit is hidden. Each card has a partial quote visible on the bottom. The only clearly visible quote is on the bottom of the Adversary card, which reads, "This town's not big enough for the two of us." and attributes the quote to P. Bunyan.

A graphic from The Washington Post describing Nina as a "mostly dog name", meaning dogs are more likely to have that name than humans. The accompanying graphic shows a stylized dog face at one side of a spectrum, and a stylized human face at the other, with 3 stages in between which are part dog and part human. The highlighted face for Nina is a stylized face which has mostly canine characteristics, with few human ones.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

I DON'T WANT WHAT ABILITIES I GET TO BE LINKED TO A MORALITY SYSTEM.

DIFFERENT REWARDS FOR DIFFERENT QUEST CHOICES?

FINE.

BUT GOOD AND EVIL SKILL TREES?

NO.

LOCKING SKILLS BEHIND BEING GOOD OR EVIL JUST MEANS YOU HAVE TO COMMIT TO ONE TO GET THE BEST ABILITIES.

THAT MESSES WITH IN-GAME CHOICES.

IT'S LESS "WHAT WOULD I DO", AND MORE "BUT I WANT EVIL LIGHTNING".

AND BESIDES, ABILITIES LIKE EVIL LIGHTNING ARE JUST TOOLS.

WHAT MATTERS IS HOW YOU USE EVIL LIGHTNING.

A 4 panel comic.
The 1st panel has a wizard shouting, "Pull the sword from the stone and become the new king."
The 2nd panel is of a person asking the wizard, "Are there any other available jobs?"
In the 3rd panel, the wizard replies, "Get the cat out of the tree and become the new librarian."
Panel 4 shows the second person reading a book in a library, with a cat on their desk. This is the cat which was rescued from the tree.

Our two owl paintings by @snowbringer.bsky.social have now joined the fairy forest by @helihex.bsky.social to make for one gorgeous wall.

Three paintings on a beige wall. The two outer ones are very lifelike owls. The center one is a moonlit forest path.

Yes, we need to make some changes to make healthcare a place people want to work and are supported in, but are any of these other "concerns" actually happening?
