really lacking the student muscles these days. i can't spend hours writing with a pencil without my hand getting sore anymore

i hope this published campaign i'm running includes a good explanation for how putting the family cemetery in a swamp is not a bad idea so i don't have to figure it out myself.

does there exist a way to make gui applications that isn't extremely annoying to either user (electron/etc.) or developer (everything else?)

maybe i should get into pogo again? 🤔

i have won the monster mash

oh huh i didn't know walruses were dogs

i would like to request gay movie recs

(i'm even playing ChuuboShokyou!)

I'M PLAYING CHUUUUUBOOOOSSSS

highlights from today's session:

• Saul (court wizard PC) fails so badly to capture Cador (ratkin PC) that he ends up with the maximum possible level of harm (to be fair he was already hurt from previous conflicts) and is spending all his time brooding in his tower about the insult to his pride
• Sidonie (trade envoy PC) convinces Cador not to kill her rival for possibly months until she gets her final payment for intentionally losing the competition to make a deal with the lord they're here to trade with, so he is instead angrily assassinating the rival's secretary

someday i will actually put together a half decent 2d collision detection system and then re-use it every game instead of kludging together something horrifying every time

in today's session we accidentally did 338.4 damage to an angel and instantly killed it

next session is going to be explosive

highlights from today’s The Shadow of Yesterday session:

• Cador the ratkin (PC) has been spying on the trade envoy of a foreign merchant house to prepare to murder her (and is very well prepared now)
• the court wizard, Saul (PC), trapped another ratkin hiding in the castle and magically tortured her into giving up that there’s another ratkin (Cador) and to help him capture them in exchange for letting her and her friend leave the castle and never come back
• Sidonie (PC), trade envoy of a different merchant house conspired with Cador for the killing her rival plan. but she also made a deal to intentionally lose the trade negotiations with their host to the rival house in exchange for personal kickbacks.
• Sidonie has also made arrangements to make a fake copy of a grimoire recently obtained by Saul that she will swap for the real thing in order to steal it.

ups i am either very flushed or pretty sunburned

wait the genitalia selector in baldur’s gate is real???
