Here's some of my art that's not *directly* my job (but is job a little bit)
4 small circular drawings on separate pieces of paper: a young witch wearing a big brimmed hat, dragon (mostly its head and tail visible), unicorn, and a three-eyed cat

Judging from the smell, one of the bands using rehersal room downstairs from my shop decided to play *real* stoner metal today.

NSR is when a game itself is gay, OSR is when the people playing it are trans.
If a Cis person plays an OSR game it is a retro-clone.
If an NSR game isn't inherently gay- yes it is.
Hope that helps sorting things out!

Burial practices, from best to worst: 1. fungal coffin 2. regular natural burial 3. letting wild forest animals drag my bones 4. sky burial 5. cremation 6. regular western inhumation 7. tomb burial 8. intentional mummification (I'm ok and not dying any quicker than an average human rate afaik)

2) Not sure if it's just my unability to addapt or the ultimate triumph of The Normie. It also hurts my tiny lil business because I honestly don't know how to get to new clients without doing all the stupid influencer shit or even worse, intentionally trying to encourage a parasocial relationship.

1) ngl, to say my modern social media game is weak is to grossly undersell it. I guess being an extremely online teen / young adult from early 2000 to 2010s taught me all the wrong lessons while people disinterested in the back-then Internet culture (or just younger, let's be honest) are doing ok.

I feel really sorry for people in the US - and I also hate that the rest of the world will feel the consequences of this shitfuckery.

Finally got my copy of the Painted Wastelands yesterday, gonna start reading it this evening (I don't like reading PDFs and I never touch them before getting the physical book) + the dice set matches nicely the rest of my travel bag, and all of them match the cover @agamemnonpress.bsky.social

Yesterday was the first freezing cold day of the season, and it even snowed a little bit. And I was elated as it had at least some semblance to the winters of not so long ago, with snow piled tall, and frost lasting from the late November to March. Solastalgia is a bitch.

I know there are people gaming with their parents (and also people my age+ getting their children into RPGs) but I always felt weird thinking about playing RPGs with my (now elderly) mother - I'm super happy I got her into board games though.

2/2 At that moment, to my amazement, I actually stopped myself from participating in leftist infighting (in this instance, at the very least). You do you, my brother/sister/sibling, our disagreements are petty compared to what we're both against.

1/2 The other day I saw here a leftist take I found to be not very good nor wise for that matter and was *this close* to engaging in THE DISCOURSE - but then I saw another post, on fb this time, and it was some actual nazi shit.

On that note I wonder if His Majesty The Worm is going to be one of those books that sit on my shelf and look nice or would I actually enjoy running it. Gotta give it a thorough read-through instead of just looking at the cover and thinking, I guess.
BitD runs like a well oiled machine, it almost plays itself as long as you don't try to reach beyond it's system's boundaries - and it's exactly what I hate in my games.
Yup, I've just finished reading it, and it definitely delivers this vibe, and much more, without somehow rigid game structure of the BitD and lovely-but-odd world-building decisions of Doskvol. Cool stuff indeed.

What’s an OSR game?
People keep asking me what an OSR game is. They want a clear mechanical difference, like the one they think exists between Forged in the Dark and Powered By The Apocalypse, for example. You’r…

3/4 Also: there was a pumpkin patch in the very first scene. You had one job, guys. Also also: fuckin' (dirty) white buildings and white marble statues, absolutely disgusting. Also also also: preatorians in bad guy black armor with purple accents.
