Been working on a ttrpg where the whole shtick is a Mad Maxian wasteland roleplay with a thirty minute learning curve. Print-n-play for less than ten bucks and play in less than forty minutes. That it. That's the whole goal.

I'm posting these sheets and prototypes for no reason besides wanting to show people I'm not dead, just playing in another special interest for a bit, and also just to show my work to the rest of the class. There's a nott terribly terribly long Doc where we're working out rules and world building. Dark Future with the White Line Fever expansion was a dense, combat heavy, thick tome of 200+ pages. We're trying to avoid that weight on the play table with something a lot more casual and Roleplay focused.

Furiosa (cat) is supervising very important experimental gameplay tests for The Wastes TTRPG.

do genuinely find it fascinating how indeed.com is like the biggest job-hunting website out there and yet manages to be profoundly useless in every possible way

We are all one very bad car, or household, or workplace accident away from needing plastic surgery.

Look. I’m going to be honest with you. Adopting that hard anti-plastic surgery stance while trans people’s lives and right to transition is at stake is absolutely horrendous timing. Knock it off.

Say, for example, I were developing a TTRPG for a post apocalyptic universe designed with the express purpose of satisfying a certain fandom's hunger for role play.

This is not the final cover art for this... Btw. This backdrop is an ancient screenshot from the Mad Max videogame. I plan to paint a proper piece for this one day.

My biggest concerns with this project are, in order of increasing magnitude.

4: Intellectual Property and the legality of it. I want to protect my IP and to keep Hasbro, Games Workshop, and Warner Bros grubby little mits off it. I also want to avoid cease and desist letters and lawsuit happy lawyers.

3: Avoiding the wonky vehicle combat pitfalls of games such as Dark Future by Games Workshop and frankly I would like to avoid building a game that refuses to balance role-play and combat.

2: Accessability. I want the entry cost of this game to be incredibly low. I'm dirt poor, and my whole shtick as a creator if figuring out the cheapest and easiest way to get things done.

1: Finding a community who wants this and is willing to test gameplay.

I would love to hear thoughts on this. My inbox and DMs are open.

And why? Cultural norms? Personal schedule? “Cause I’m always late to everything”?

Bonus points: Region and/or ethnicity?

The best notes written in manuscripts by medieval monks

Colophon: a statement at the end of a book containing the scribe or owner’s name, date of completion, or bitching about how hard it is to write a book in the dark ages

Oh, my hand

The parchment is very hairy

Thank God it will soon be dark

St. Patrick of Armagh, deliver me from writing

Now I’ve written the whole thing; for Christ’s sake give me a drink

Oh d fuckin abbot

Massive hangover

Whoever translated these Gospels did a very poor job

Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night

If someone else would like such a handsome book, come and look me up in Paris, across from the Notre Dame cathedral

I shall remember, O Christ, that I am writing of Thee, because I am wrecked today

Do not reproach me concerning the letters, the ink is bad and the parchment scanty and the day is dark

11 golden letters, 8 shilling each; 700 letters with double shafts, 7 shilling for each hundred; and 35 quires of text, each 16 leaves, at 3 shilling each. For such an amount I won’t write again

Here ends the second part of the title work of Brother Thomas Aquinas of the Dominican Order; very long, very verbose; and very tedious for the scribe; thank God, thank God, and again thank God

If anyone take away this book, let him die the death, let him be fried in a pan; let the falling sickness and fever seize him; let him be broken on the wheel, and hanged. Amen

Considering the recent targeted terminations of blogs run by transfems in the last couple of days (angel-athetos, fungalfaggot, coyote-roadkill, hound-mother, corpse-of-omelas-ageplayer and my previous blog, zebrabyopn3), some close friends and myself worked on a google form where users can make submissions for their terminated blogs. We're making this poll so we can gather numbers regarding terminated blogs, and what percentage of that number happens to be transfems. We also made a google form were users can submit information about their terminated blogs, here. Hopefully by spreading this poll, the bias (of me, a trans woman sharing this with her mutuals) will decrease. So, please, answer and reblog

People complain that mules are hard to train because they ALSO remember every bonehead thing you've ever done or asked them to do. A lot of animal handlers can't deal with being held accountable like that.

just wanted a visual demonstration since I was talking about how much I love them
