Hello BSKY!
I've taken 4 years of game master experience and put it to 4 more years of trying to write my own campaign and setting.
I've blissfully transitioned from DnD to Shadowdark, podcast coming soon!
Follow for art, worldbuilding, queer characters, & gameplay musings.

Thoughts two months out of an eight year relationship-
Processing how lonely it is to cook for yourself.
All at once I understand how mukbang came to be.
We really are social creatures.

As a 20-something, I think I was deeply hurt by the idea that "it gets better."
Things get better when you put in the hard and painful work to make it so.
Hearing "it gets better" puts one in a stasis, thinking "as long as I allow time to pass, the trauma will eventually heal itself."

There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

The things that people claim to know!
Who dares to call the child by its true name?
The few that saw something like this and, starry-eyed
But foolishly, with glowing hearts averted
Their feelings and their visions before the common herd
Have at times been burned and crucified.

My first TTRPG thing was some Troikaish backgrounds. This is very early proto-Vaarn. I still think some of these are funny
