Buzz Feiten Tuning System - a corrected temperation tuning formula, which uses a compensated nut and saddle to correct the inherent intonation problems of the Western tuning formula.Over the years, Washburn designed (patented and trademarked) several prominent guitar construction features: Travel Acoustic – small, travel friendly guitars.Acoustic / Electric – acoustic guitars that can be plugged into amplifiers as well.Classical – mellower tone, as a result of nylon strings.Folk Style – best quality for sound recording.Dreadnoughts – good value acoustic guitars.USA – guitars made in the Mudelein, IL factory.These guitars are of very high quality and very few were made ergo they are highly sought after. Featuring innovative fretboard materials such as phenolic and carbon glass epoxy.

Many famous and successful artists play Washburn instruments, and endorse Washburn instruments. Today, Washburn guitars have embraced the image from its origins and the blues movement. This street is only a few blocks from the factory, and where Washburn guitars were first embraced. The Washburn guitar and the blues movement that it was involved with are associated with Maxwell Street. The musicians played the guitars as well as making them by hand. This blues movement helped in the success of Washburn guitars.Washburn guitars were very popular during the 1920s. This type of blues would change the way blues music was played, and would also change rock and roll. The movement was a “Delta Blues” movement, which came as a result of an influx of African Americans to the area. The factory would later be involved and located near a musical movement in Chicago in the 1920s. The Washburn guitar company started making guitars in 1883 in Chicago.

Mando for today.

[deadmomjokes]

So we’re finally getting our Pathfinder group together, and we are shaping up to be the most ridiculous band of misfits.

We’ve got me, a half-elf scoundrel rogue who accidentally got yeeted through time as a child, spent years in and out of asylums for being “crazy,” and then adopted by a family of halflings. I’m somehow the strongest in the group at +2.

We’ve got an idiot half-orc sorcerer who’s multiclassing as a fighter but is optimized for neither, has a -2 to intelligence and a 0 for wisdom, and doesn’t even remember his own mom’s name for some reason that’s unexplained (because his player forgot to give her a name in his background, oops lol).

A literal pixie (my husband the GM had to homebrew the class) bard who is 8 inches tall, plays the world’s tiniest mandolin, and has a big crush on the human who convinced her to come to the planet in the first place (who is not part of our party, still don’t know what happened to him...). She’s a travelling missionary for a local peace movement that’s opposing a local human supremacy movement.

And Tim, a dragonborn (another homebrew). He’s a leaf druid. He just wants to look at plants all day. We’ve decided that’s just how draconic sounds, like the whitest white bread Minnesota-accent nonsense you can think of. He has a leshy familiar named Earl, and his rations consist of ham and mayonnaise sandwiches on Wonderbread. We still don’t know how he’s going to end up joining the party, given that he just wants to work in his nursery and play with plants all day. He has a -2 to stealth, but a +8 to will.

If you’re keeping track, that’s 3 spellcasters, no tank, one DPS, 3 first-time players, and gaggle of idiots with barely a collective +4 to charisma between us.

Pray for us, we’re all going to die by the second encounter.

Would anybody be interested in us streaming or recording these shenanigans?

oh look it’s the third original post in a row!!

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3YLoWmXOB1JUOESWIRrSMQ?si=rIxz2yRlSJ2Yn_BvtVJ3lA

this is Pointy’s playlist, and I’m going to write up explanations for each song under the cut. because why not

The playlist is meant to be listened to start to finish. It’s a Little Journey,

The Sweet Escape – Gwen Stefani

We start off the playlist with a series of bops. This first one doesn’t mean much– it’s just a Vibe– except for the chorus:

If I could escape And recreate a place as my own world And I could be your favorite girl Forever, perfectly together Tell me, boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

If I could be sweet I know I've been a real bad girl I didn't mean for you to get hurt (Forever) We can make it better Tell me, boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

There’s no Secret Boy she’s pining for, but whoo boy, her whole life has been about escape. Escaping her family, and escaping her own mind. She also, shockingly, doesn’t really like violence.

bad guy – Billie Eilish

Look, I think this song genuinely slaps. The muted tones are a great vibe for a solo stealth mission. On a slightly deeper level, it sort of represents one facet of identity she picked up and discarded prior to the campaign’s start– the girl who went to bars and picked people up. She’s not that, but she thought at one point she should try it out.

Oh No! – Marina

Again, Marina is such a vibe for her, but what really gets her is talking about materialism. She is materialistic, but it’s a coping mechanism for having grown up with less than nothing provided or given to her by her parents. It’s her healthiest coping mechanism, though, so it’s probably staying for a while.

Blow – Kesha

This is the soundtrack for a badass heist that ends in an explosion.’Nuff said.

20 Dollar Nose Bleed – Fall Out Boy

Look, this is an emo character. There was gonna be a song or two in this vein. “Have you ever wanted to disappear?” Fucking all the time.

Love Me Do – The Beatles

Look, this song has seventeen distinct words in it, and it’s about wanting love. Pointy can’t articulate it, but she really, really wants love.

I Knew You Were Trouble – Taylor Swift

I will not apologize for liking earlier Taylor Swift songs. This is a song about Pointy. It’s partially a joke– “’now I’m lying on the cold hard ground’ *screams*” is the motto of anyone who gets in her way– but it’s also serious, because she fundamentally sees herself as a burden, a bother, and a nuisance. Fun times!

Maybe This Time - from Cabaret

I’m legally obligated to put at least one musical theatre song on every character playlist. The song is about hope, it’s about praying that this time something will work out for you. Pointy hopes, somewhere deep down, that that “something” is this party and their mission.

Trial by Song – The Mechanisms

OHoHo.... was this post just an excuse to talk about the Mechanisms? I’ll never tell. This song is all about what the singer isn’t, among imagery of the singer’s miserable life. Pointy’s not a gambler, she’s not a fighter, she’s not built to be a criminal at heart. I think this is her arguing with herself as she settles further into the idea of Rogue.

(No matter what, if she survives this campaign, she’s gonna multiclass into bard, and one of her instruments is gonna be a mandolin, in honor of this song.)

Somebody to Love – Queen

As above. Please, won’t anybody find her somebody to love?

Those Magic Changes – from Grease Live

LOOK. It’s a beautiful song that’s framed to be about friends supporting friends and helping them grow, and I really really want that to be endgame for Pointy. Please there’s so much potential here. She deserves it.

So there you go! Pointy, in 11 songs. Somebody help this child.

River Dance

Game: DnD 5e, Zelda hombrew

Session: Pre-1st

We had come to the end of the dungeon. We didn't know it yet, but our GM had set up a high level encounter that had a great chance of wiping out our party. Two skilled witches and their Lizalfos guard chanted around a mysterious object, a magical vase hovering three feet off the ground.

Up until now, the dungeon had been threatening, but not insurmountable. Our heroes, Zekim the Zora spearman (spearshark?), and Aesir the Rito traveling minstrel, had conquered mobs and traps with creativity and swordwork.  After a short rest, we came in sight of our goal: the missing trade caravan, kidnapped and brought underground by the witches.

Luckily, Aesir is practically a ninja on his feet and stealthed his way around the corner, spying out the situation. The traders had been tied up and gagged in a haphazard manner, some facing the wall, some facing the room, with their goods spread out all around them. Aesir gestured for the kidnapped Hylians to be silent and returned with Zekim to plan their ambush.

Now, Aesir has a few magical items on him. The Coat of Useful Things, a Mandolin of the Bards, and, most importantly, a Ring of Spell Storing. Sneaking back around the corner, he prepared his first spell, Magnesis. Magnetically taking hold of the Lizalfos' mace, he brought it up, and smacked the witch right on her knee. The Lizalfos, having the intelligence of two regular lizards, stared at his mace confused.

The red witch unleashed a torrent of curses. “You fucking idiot! Hold Still, you absolute nutsack!” With the last verbal component and a gesture, Hold Person caused the Lizalfos to freeze all his muscles solid and fall over with a pitiful whine.

One down. Now for the other two. As silent as an owl, Aesir cast another spell of magnesis, this time into the trade goods next to caravaners. Lifting a box of silverware overhead, he dumped it around the witches, in a trail back to the door.  

The witches had only one chance to escape what came next, a single dice check on their reaction to this unforeseen shower of forks, spoons, and butter-knives. The blue witch passes her check, and began to turn and face the Rito interrupting their ritual. The red witch?

“Get down! Cutlery!” Red tackled Blue on to the floor; onto a bed of silverware. Conductive silverware.

Aesir lowered his ring down to a fork and unleashes all the remaining spell slots. A lightning bolt arched between all the dishes and sent the witches shaking violently on the floor.

Then, Zekim came in. Running through the door, he spotted two Ganon-worshiping magic users sprawled on the ground, and did what any good Twilight Princess fan would do in this situation. Finishing Blow. A nine foot tall, several-hundred pound Zora shark-of-a-person leaped into the air, and came down point first into two frail old ladies, spearing them like a toothpick through a sandwich.

Aesir moved next. Darting in with Rito speed, he slapped one old lady across the face and cast Silence! No more spells for Blue.

That left one angry, high level, rage filled witch with a fish standing on her, and a single chance to burn him to cinders where he stood. Our DM rolls and consults a spell table. In this panicked moment, what spell does Red call to mind?

“Dance, fucker!” The witch slapped his knee and cursed him with Irresistible Dance. Now, this giant Zora was dancing a jig on top of two old ladies pinned to the ground with a spear.

No spells at her disposal, Blue unsheathed her knife and began stabbing violently at the jigging flippers of the Zora. And like reverse Dance Dance Revolution, Zekim's smooth moves guided his feet away from each point of the knife.

Red failed to survive the next round of assault, but Blue shook off the Silence. From her quietly mouthing the word, suddenly comes a “........ DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!” As the dagger kept chipping stone right where Zekim's foot last stood before he swept it up in a stabbing river dance.

Blue joined her sister in cursing our descendants from the afterlife in the next round. 

While this is the end of that dungeon, I'd like to direct you to the prospective of one of the Hylian traders, tied up and facing the wall.  From out of silence he hears …

“You fucking idiot, you absolute nutsack!” “Get down! Cutlery!” “zzzzeebrrbrbrbarbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbr!” stomp, stomp, stomp! STOMP! CRUNCH!!! “Dance fucker!” rhythmic shuffling “…......DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!”

Finally allowed to turn around, the Hylian beholds a Zora and a Rito, completely unscathed, a pile of knives and forks, and the two of the most powerful mages they could ever hope to meet lying on the floor with size 25 bootprints up and down their bodies. Oh, and the zora was still dancing.

shortsword dual wielder

best friend is a half-orc fighter named saneg

saneg helped him train 

but she’s recently gone missing and taret wants to know where she is 

because he basically just stole what was left of the family funds and set off to find work as an adventurer after his dad left him and his mom

really stubborn 

he has the passion but he’s also really young and inexperienced…

june chari 

human druid

neutral good

was pressured in her tribe to become one of its protectors against encroaching modern civilization but she’s really fucken lazy and doesn’t want to do all this spell studying and plus she wants to experience life outside of the nature she grew up in

she doesn’t really go along with basic druidic principles

also has shitty parents

after her mom found out that june was thinking abt not becoming a tribe protector she basically threw her out and told her that ok if you want to see the “outside world” go ahead, and then would you see the evils that corrupt it

that’s fucked up

but she has to go on a quest to find out who really attacked the town

v loyal 

secretly fond of embroidery

she’s Really Cute!! wears a big pink and white dress over her leather armor with a small fabric pink rose on the corset

overall the main thing to get out of her character is that i mean it when i say she’s naive. she’s honest, trusting, optimistic, and emotion-driven so if you have her on your side you will know everything she says is the truth

but just be aware that being too honest and trusting also has its flaws

pangender (they/them/theirs)

lives in a desert town with their flock/clan of thieves

kinda rude and mistrusting but they’re a hopeless romantic at heart

they fell in love with this merchant guy but when they confessed to him he was horrified and accused them of stealing from his shop and family and in general, fucking up the town

they have a chipped beak now bc the merchant dude hit them across the face with a hammer

also a dragon attacked the town one night and giggler, when fleeing, was separated from their flock

now they’re just a nomad trying to survive

carries an annoyance towards dragons bc of that attack

probably my least developed character next to june and taret
