Don't blame me for giving you an answer you don't want to hear.

Based on past experiences (like this Sunday) I would classify myself as a Happy Drunk/Mary Poppins, especially at Dark Wave concerts after a visit to a watching Formula 1 at a pub filled with soccer fans (50cc Cider, 7.4%), and dining at a Korean restaurant (33cl soju, 12%).

I fell into my own trap again this year, for the 2nd time. In Dutch we, and I have a saying "Out Together, Home Together". But I seem to forget that no everyone lives by that.

I created a sample Daggerheart PC this weekend. A sweet little (2ft) green-skinned unarmored faerie in a pink dress and a very bad attitude and foul mouth. With the motto "I show no mercy, I already crossed that river!"

My English colleague didn't get the reference/pun of that motto.

Can you?

Two days of SpellenSpektakel. Mostly took over Battle of Hoth and Horrified demos.
Demoing is fun.

So... it seems I own 51 RPGs (excluding their editions), played 14, and GMed 16.

Kind of disappointed about the 14 played in the past 40 years.

I've been told walking releases dopamine, which reduces gloominess and stress.

Didn't work.

Still depressed, still stressed.
Always gloomy.

I tend to worry about everything that can (and will, obviously) go wrong, and how (obviously) I will annoy and rile up people.

In Dutch, we talk about seeing bears in the road, and usually, I'm not even sure there is a road, only bears.

So... all plans are cancelled for today #frustrated

Fear is the mind killer.

There is no road, only bears.

Recently, an American asked how to store a Dutch flag properly to be able to fly it respectably at a later date, and the Dutch replies were hilarious.

Basically, the Dutch flag is an ordinary piece of cloth, not a holy relic.

Mostly used to signify soccer games, graduating, or royal birthdays

@aravine.bsky.social How are you holding up in your ravaged war-torn lands?

I think that calling myself Jan Hendriks the Grandiose might be a good English companion to Jan Hendriks the Geweldenaar, instead The Glorious or The Goat.

Waddayou think?

The result of the "Stab Your Poo" event was negative.

I found a set of Who Goes First dice for 5 persons, complimenting my 4 persons set.

5 d60s 1 thru 300 vs 4 d12s 1 thru 48

Today is the last day of my trial period. Haven't heard anything yet... exciting.

Phrase of the Day is "Poop on a stick".

Today, I send some poop on a stick to voluntary, free, colon cancer test, which everyone on the Netherlands receives at 55 and then every 3 years.

Some years ago, someone close to me was diagnosed at an early stage and is now cancer free.

Lesson of the Day: If you do something and would like me there, invite me, or I will not be there

Don't assume I will know I'm welcome, don't rely on others to tell me I'm surely invited, don't expect me to ask if you forgot to invite me.

Invite me, or miss me.
