Had a dream last night about a tabletop RPG that was seemingly made just to get stories written about the author's extremely complex low fantasy kingdom.

The rules were fairly short, only being a dozen or so pages. The main bulk of the hundred of pages long core book was information on the kingdom. And not just political information or trade, but massive charts and calendars that told you what the weather was in what area on a specific day.

You could do an entire months long campaign that chronicled a family running out of food in the winter and trying to get to the neighboring town in order to find food and shelter. Supplements (both official and fan made) added new dimensions of detail, like war breaking out between lords, or a years long winter, ect.

Since the gameplay itself was really straightforward there were barely any rules questions. Instead, the online discussions would be long stories about someone's merchant almost making it to a town before the local festival, only to be stopped by a wheel breaking, or similar such tales.

The biggest community was a "living kingdom" that were hundreds of concurrent campaigns run by a group of two dozen GMs.

It made such an impression on me that I remembered all of this information hours after waking up from the aforementioned dream.

I was reading one of my childhood diaries the other day and there was a whole paragraph saying how hopeful I was that my writing will help the archeologists in the far future. Then it proceeded to describe my lunch that day and how my dog was probably secretly able to talk.

So twitter is back now, but I quite like this place, and I've gotten used to it by now so..... I might just stay?

I love (/j) how school teacher are always oh so critical of the quality of your slides, presentations and formatting in assignments, but then you get to uni and half the professors don't know how to carry a class with a linear-ish logic and those who can always have the most fucked up slideshows lol

Like, I'm right now attending a class about modern literature and the professor spent half and an hour talking about the semiotics of the word "flor" (that never once appeared in the chronicle we're analysing, but the started to talk about it when he read the word "carta") and sometimes it's hard to read the slides because everything has a different color and there's either WAY TO MUCH CONTRAST or no contrast at all (plus he changes fonts every paragraph and i still don't understand the reasoning behind each font choice)

Whenever I'm even a little excited abt something I like I start explaining/telling the plot of it to myself as if I'm talking to someone else

I think it's so lovely you can see Venus in the night sky sometimes

Even tho it's not a star, its shine travels all the way to us, gracing us with its yellowish hue

I hate how my URGE to draw fanart of my and my friend's ttrpg characters is inversely proportional to my drawing skills

Like I'll fucking draw stick people fanart of my babies if i have to BUT OMFG HOW I WISH I COULD DO THEM RIGHT

If you happen to come across this post, everytime i get a like in this i will draw something until I'm minimally able to post some drawing here (likes instead of reblogs cus I don't want to mess your blogs and everything, but if u want to reblog with any kind of advice I'd love to hear some lol)

Out of nowhere i decided i'd try doing a solo rpg (I'm using Calypso) so...

Roll call of characters I already made

Amnesiac shapeshifting protagonist who has no intention of remembering her past and will probably turn out to be way more traumatized than i first intended? (She doesn't actually look like that. This is just how she looked when the story started, even she doesn't know how she really looks, but... I'll keep that for later >:)) HERE

Drunk disaster intersex angel who'll probably cause most of the chaos? HERE

The actual demon who seems to know a lot more about Al's situation than anyone else but is too amused to explain anything? HERE

The werewolf who actually has a fucking braincell and is SO SO tired of everyone's shit, but somehow ALWAYS gets caught up in other people's problems

The hopeless romantic bisexual disaster who always crosses paths with Al for some reason ig... (Some might say the reason's named Camila)

real people being partially closeted or ambiguous about their own sexuality while making Gay Art is not queerbaiting

Average league of legends player: WHY ARE THEY BUFFING YONE AGAIN?? DON'T THEY KNOW HE'S BROKEN?? HOW CAN I PLAY SUCH AN UNBALANCED GAME????😭😭😭😭

Meanwhile go players: yeah... So, basically we don't really know if this game that is OLDER THAN WESTERN CIVILIZATION is actually balanced... Like, we know black has first move advantage, but we're not sure how to calculate how big this advantage actually IS... We've settled with 6.5 in a 19×19 board, but current AI seems to prove the advantage for black may be even bigger(??)... But like, it's as if we actually know the best ways to play that would make this a problem... Like it's still not known what exactly is the best first move when trying to take the corners... And then there's tons of tesuji that now and then get revisited... And then.......
