So, I wrapped up Digimon Stories: Time Stranger last night.
Nonspoiler: over all a good game. Fun characters with a lot of content that was fun to go through. A little confusing at moments, but given the "Time" part of the title, I was expecting that.
Full spoiler below.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

I keep wondering if you could use the stats from Digimon Story: Time Stranger to convert some digimon over to the Pokémon Table Top United system... maybe another project for later...

Worked on filling out the Spear weapons Starting Frames today. Along with adding two new status effects and defining them. Not a lot of progress today, but it's a nice dip before getting into the main meat and potatoes of it all.
Next is finishing Whips, then Scythes.

So, going through google docs and trying to organize things a bit, found this and noticed I hadn't shared it. It's a rough draft and is missing some small bits and bobbles, but it's a character sheet at least.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back
You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

Jumped back into Destiny 2 as of last week, and found out that they at some point dropped the floor out from under everyone, my warlock is sitting at about 70-something power after going through the Witch Queen campaign. I love this, actually. Mostly because that removed the sunset locks on...(1/2)

Can confirm. Haven't interacted with Harry Potter pretty much since before Crimes of Grindlewald outside of watching a few Youtubers talk about some of the actual problems with the books from the story perspective (it helps start the process, trust me).
I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

This week, the goal is to finish set up for Wednesday's Power Rangers campaign, then it's about time to buckle down and finish up some movement on my "Rival" system and book end the current arc in the Middle Earth Campaign. Them begin shifting the "Rival" system for a more standard DnD setting.

The more I think about it, the more I've convinced myself that Hasbro should just go ahead on a Patranger Vs Lupinranger adaptation using their old plans for "Hexagon" (the original ninja storm ideas). (1)

Went to work on a map for the Power Rangers campaign I'm running, and the graph paper pad it's in vanished.
I'd use another pad, but that's going to be when the first pad shows up...
Geez...

So, watching Transformers Animated, an that's two episodes in a row that fell off... One where Prowl learns that over-modding himself is bad and puts innocent life in danger (just to then blow up two clones of Starscream [one of which was terrified for their life earlier])... (1/2)

Some tips for breaking into tabletop RPG design! (1/9)
To create an RPG, you must first WRITE one. Pick a concept and go for it. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Just get something on the page. Your journey begins with that first paragraph.

His military flyover of the Epstein Survivor's Press Conference was like when a little kid puts their fingers in their ears, saying "Nyah, nyah, nyah I can't hear you!"!
Pathetic, hugely expensive & hilariously ineffective.

better yet, consider unsubscribing from HBO/Max the week before her show comes out (& if you rejoin, wait until the HP season is over). it's not enough to *not* watch it – HBO needs to know it will hurt their bottom line if they continue producing it
if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights
