*tries to organize my thoughts*

*remembers i'm not in school and therefore beholden to neither heaven nor hell nor any man's grading system*

*joyously shredding & tossing all my carefully arranged 3x5 mental notecards into the air like so much beige confetti. raising my arms in victory, cheering raucously until i accidentally inhale bits of homemade confetti*

(*coughing up itty bits of paper like a cat evicting a hairball with a firm understanding of tenants' rights*) wait wat happens next

I want to share this mad idea a french ttrpg designer had.

A system of rules to speedrun campaigns and scenarios.

Warning : the table MUST have played it normally before. These rules are for giving a second life to these campaign books catching dust in your library

These rules are an add-on to the system you used for the campaign. Now you can Bunny hop, glitch, clip, go out of bonds in your game. Bugs can appear. Suddenly the game is in another language, good luck to the players who don't speak it.

You can add little challenges, the same as video game speedrun. Like an all boss run, a no hit run, a non lethal run, etc.

Honestly I found the idea bonkers. I want to try it, seems like a good idea for a crazy game night.

Note of acknowledgment to all of you still following me and reading but scared to interact because of the smear campaign and anonymous attacks that can happen if you interact with my blog. I know you're all here and I appreciate you. I'm glad you're still reading.

ok. tragically separated wwi era vampire twins.

if you live in the US and are looking for ways to support the Palestinian people and their liberation from genocide, this website has info on where to donate, where to protest, what US representatives to contact and how to do so - regardless of your experience contacting reps this website makes it very uncomplicated..taking action is so incredibly important & too often does the US sit idly by hiding in performative activism/political indifference. please we need to use our privilege to support the fight for those who have been stripped of their rights for lifetimes..free Palestine 🇵🇸🤍

concept: the whole kira investigation is just a ttrpg light invented from scratch. it’s very cool in theory but there so many overlapping rules that it’s basically unplayable. misa and L are the only people who actually know what’s going on & that’s because they’re both head over heels for him and therefore spent a solid weekend highlighting the three hundred page PDF he sent everyone. L’s character dies in the first half but he creates a new one and comes back as mikami.

Streets of Shadow: A Dragon Age Table Top Campaign

"The city of Highmire sits atop a mountain pass at the border between the Free Marches and Nevarra. This town controls much of the trade between the two countries, and its success was not so easily granted. Over the last several years, the trade empire that flows through the bottleneck of Highmire has been built out of the shadows of corruption and exploitation. After the accidental murder of one of the city’s most beloved and cherished artisans, a rebellion is brewing in the shadows. Their anger in turn is being fueled by a mysterious killer who has begun targeting wealthy merchants in the upper-class district of the city. It is up to the party to get to the bottom of this mystery and figure out what’s going on in Highmire. Will they see this killer as a heroic vigilante or a serial killer that must meet his end?"

Estimated 5-8 Sessions.

This campaign does not have any set levels and can accommodate an array of player characters and backgrounds. A majority of the set and world-building is written, but this is a campaign that you can make your own!

DeSantis definitely made the right choice imo. pulling out well before Trump had a chance to beat him in his home state leaves a career path open for him, such that he can continue to build political momentum (which he would’ve lost had he not run for President this time around) and try again in 2028 if he wants. and pulling out so early demonstrated self-awareness and a care for his donors.

the human rights campaign has declared a national state of emergency for lgbtqia+ in the US

they have issued a national warning and a Guidebook to Ensure Safety for LGBTQ+ Residents and Travelers (link to article that includes the pdf download)

i have heard from people that you hate transgender people and want to forcibly sterilize certain disabled people

is this true?

I wasn't sure whether to publish this, because this kind of thing is triggering for me to read, and painful to try to defend myself against. I’m trying to understand why you felt this was appropriate to send to me. I’ll try to tackle this, but ultimately, you're going to have to make your own conclusions.

I understand that for a long time now, there has been a smear campaign led against me, because I create resources that teach people how to recognize and escape from abuse, and some people took great issue with that, and decided this needed to be stopped. I've received a fair amount of harassment, threats, hatred and online abuse, and I couldn't interact with any of it, after surviving so much abuse, to now struggle against it on my blog where I share resources, it was too much. I didn't engage, because I would never tell anyone to engage with abusers, it's triggering, it's hatred.

After the harassment campaign didn't work, and there was nothing they could say or do to me to make me stop, they turned their tactics around, and decided to harass everyone else. So, everyone who would reblog my posts, would get a 'this person you reblogged from, is actually a hateful monster, who hates transgender people, who is trying to forcibly sterilize disabled people', and I understand this is something so jarring and upsetting, most people would immediately want to get away from it, and not risk getting more of messages like this. It has a lot of shock value, lot of authority, lot of certainty, after all, would anyone go messaging abuse victims and trauma survivors and harass them, if what they were saying were lies? You wouldn't believe they'd have the nerve, or the audacity, to actually go around, and send such upsetting lies to trauma survivors, for the sin of sharing trauma resources among themselves.

And I have to live knowing this is going on. I have to sit here and pretend that it's okay for abusers to go over everything I've written in the last 7 years, to find words they can twist against me, to pull things out of context, to make up outrageous lies to convince others I'm some kind of monstrous hateful bigot, intent on sterilizing the disabled, hating trans people, living only to spread hate and violence in the world.

And even a few people believing it surprised me. I’m surprised even now that you felt you should bring this to me. Because I believed anyone reading my blog could tell what was in my heart. Because reading just a few of my posts, should make it clear where I stand. That it's absolutely unbearable for me to know that there are abused children with no resources. That I would do anything I could do to help vulnerable people who are being abused. That I'm a human being fighting with all I've got to create and maintain resources for those who have very little to none. It's insane to me to even consider that I would want those who have a different gender identity to not have those resources. It's insane to imagine that anyone writing a blog for abuse and trauma survivors, is secretly about sterilizing disabled people. Anyone reading my blog would know that.

The reason I'm not defending against these claims is because I already know it doesn't matter what I say. I've been a target of smear campaigns since I was a child. Getting defensive and arguing against abusers who are smear-campaigning you, only gives them more insight in what they can attack in you, it tells them what you're sensitive about, what will draw a reaction that can then be used to demonize you all over again. If I defend myself, I'm telling them 'here, that's where it hurts. here's where you should hit me next'. And beating any claims doesn't matter because they'll be back with worse, more insane claims that will again, have so much shock value and authoritarian sound about them, it won't even matter if they're made up, people will flinch away with horror at the mere implication.

Me writing for 7 years gives them so much material to twist and purposefully misinterpret and pull out of context. It can be done to anyone, no matter what you’re writing about. Because they don’t care what I’m writing about. They don’t care how much of their claims are truthful or not. It couldn’t matter less to them about who I am or am not. All that matters is convincing people that whatever I’m saying, nobody should listen. Everything I write should be forbidden and a taboo. Abuse survivors should not get any resources, and stay in abuse.

So no, I'm not going to fight back. I'm going to believe in the world and their ability to make sense of it for themselves. Do you believe it makes sense that the person writing resources for trauma survivors is a despicable, irredeemable monster secretly, out there sterilizing people, or do you believe that it's maybe more likely that people harassing trauma survivors in order to stop spreading abuse resources, could maybe have an agenda. Do you believe my blog would be filled with posts trying to help abuse victims to recognize and get out of abuse, if I was all about a movement of hatred and sterilization. Do you believe that people who claim themselves to not be abusive, to not be targeting abuse victims, to not be dangerous, are really what they say? Do you believe that as they're repeating the abuse to me that my parents have done all of my life? As they're treating me as if I'm not a human being, as if hurting me and harassing me is some kind of a game they play? As they're laughing among themselves about it? Do you believe it while they're wide-scale harassing abuse victims in order to stop the spread of resources?

Make your own conclusions. But don't bring the smear campaign to me and ask me to fight back. Don't ask me to engage with people intent on hurting me and destroying everything I've done. Don't ask me to give them a new reason to have a go at me. This is not a game to me. Please remember that I'm a person, and I don't exist to be thrown in a hole of hateful accusations for writing a blog to share information about abuse.

i cant stop thinking about how much fun... running a dungeon meshi style ttrpg would be...

didn’t want to add this on OP’s post but who the fuck is “we”

Another weekend is rolling in and what better to have than another roll on a new Curious Collectibles table of course!

Who was trying to hide the name of this old journal and why?

What could this odd contraption be used for?

Could this signet be from one of the fallen knights?

Is this a scam or a real potion? Do you dare open it to find out?

What option would you choose?

This table is available, free for you to use in your home DnD / Pathfinder / Tales of the Valiant / Daggerheart / TTRPG games, to help generate some more descriptive loot and treasure options perfect for a new quest-hook or a truly epic reward.
