The other day I got angry at my hair. First thing in the morning I groggilly razored and scissored and fucked it all up. Surprisingly, somehow, 3 strangers have since made a point of complimenting my hair. I am confused.

Of all the posts this season, I think the two from Ènziramire have been bouncing around my head the most. I'm so grateful to him for bringing his historical and anthropological interest into our little tabletop gaming scene.

Rounding out my memorial to Basic Red RPG is a collection of several of Daniel's short posts throwing out various ideas for novel classes. Sadly, my Sinistar impression leaves much to be desired. :P

Old D&D had a lot of really good classes you could only play if you happened to roll great stats. I'm intrigued by the opposite: a consolation class for those who roll poorly. Continuing my memorial to Basic Red RPG: Hobbits As Consolation Class

I'm studying anatomy in an art class right now, and we're talking a lot about the Great Trochanter. Every day I must remind myself that NO ONE WILL LAUGH if I ask what level of magic user that is.

Solving any problem well involves breaking it down into more managable chunks. What's the best way to make a big dungeon? Break it down into a bunch of small dungeons! @traversefantasy.itch.io lays out a useful technique with her usual rigor:

In the first Guest Reading of season 6, we have "Empty But Not Nothing: Thoughts on Actionable Empty Rooms." This is genuinely one of the most important fundamentals dungeon designers need to master, and @icastlight.bsky.social explains it well!

I tried to separate the art from the artist, but he got really mad, and chased after me until I threw his sketchbook off to one side to divert him.

The backbone of blogging is smashing two of your esoteric interests together, and just going and going and going. @iemcd.bsky.social 's Runescape posting is a great example of that tradition.
