@aschmitz some of the creatures are quite well camouflaged but others do not seem to care hehe.

@aschmitz look at the crab

@xsssm hmm, i should try them. i do not know my opinion on them hehe

@aescling hmm, plums are interesting (also apples but they were already obvious to me hehe). might have to wait for summer for them tho.

ladybugs are surprisingly non-round

my wife is very right, the guy in Ran who, having been ordered to kill his lord’s wife and bring her head, instead bring the head of a fox statue and upon being called on this very seriously responds basically “wow she must have been a fox in disguise” (and in response to the statue bit being pointed out is like “not only did the fox turn into a human it also turned itself to stone?? how devious foxes are”) is the best character

tonight's backup scenario (somewhat unsure if two people will make it for the normal Monday game, and 2 people is a bit low for my usual backup game), ended up with 2 out of 3 named NPCs being nonbinary; the last is a woman.

perks of my random gender table

though i really should come up with a random nonbinary pronouns table at some point.

okay yeah i can see why some people came away from the starship troopers film reading it as pro-fascism

@wallhackio correct

@aschmitz go on?

("real" here being of course a joking way of speaking about whether they form a clade or not)
