Hello,

How do you do ? I hope to be in a good condition.

This is my special campaign

We hope to help us by donating or sharing to others.

Every donation makes a different even if it a small.

As you know, the war began on October 7 and lasted ten months. During this period, we were unable to obtain food, drink, or treatment because we did not have money.

There is no source of income for the family at the present time, so we are unable to buy food, clean water, and medicine, especially after we are afflicted with the ongoing infectious diseases spread in the north like Hepatitis C disease.

Our house has been damaged a lot since the beginning of the war. We are from the north of Gaza and we are still in the north and have not displaced to the south. We displaced 10 times from place to another seeking to safety .

We hope for your help and support, even if only a little.🙏🙏

I just wish I was never a fan of her 😭 like the way I got pulled in was, I was attempting to take my English learning journey to a more vocal level yk? Because just grammar rules and spellings aren't gonna help you if you don't listen to spoken English.

And apparantly my friend made a whole playlist of Taylor's song because she listened to English music a lot, and I was blown away by her mediocre writing because again, I was young and a beginner in English.

That led me in a rabbit hole of her lore and when things got bad at home i wasn't allowed internet access so I only had my keypad phone with these downloaded songs so my exposure was limited to the western music world, you know?

And upon googling everyone was talking about how she is and it's Cute that she stalks fans for years and years (!! WTFFF) and invites them to her house if they are "devoted and true" to her (the biggest red flag what the hell).

And you know, i used to also think that everyone who hates her is just because she's a woman and the world doesn't like to see a successful woman. Now apparantly my brain has developed well enough to make judgements on my own and not take everything at face value, I can See everything is just fake about her.

"nobody calls out Ed Sheeran and Burno Mars when they write abt their exes" it's cause they don't revolve everything about themselves around their exes

And a dozen other things can be debunked just in a click if one sits down with their mind open.

It's scary how wide the fandom is and how far they'll go to defend her, remember them romanticising Ma*ty ??? Ewww

I guess depraved "idols" attract depraved people

i saw a post where swifties were dragging Brittany Mahomes or whatever her name is, for doing a campaign with kim kardashian because it goes against swiftie culture. But before that, they were defending her of being a sexual assault apologist saying "it was just an aggressive kiss" like can you imagine how toxic that cult is? I've seen the lines they crossed to defend matty healy and most of them were whites which tell alot itself. I'm so glad for people like you and i and other anons out here who has come out of that web. at least we have our own morals and judgemental process to define what is right and wrong instead of believing everything she potrays with her terrible acting and pr schemes.

and about the ed sheeran and bruno mars topic, can you tell me one name of their exes? At least i can't tell a name, let alone say which song is about whom. it's because they don't make their relationship a public circus like her. the problem with taylor swift is we can exactly tell who she was dating at what point and who the song is about. her own fans jump into this first so why won't media feed into it? it's not her fans' fault either because she has created this marketing strategy of having a parasocial relationship with her fans, so they think they have rights to do so, because they have to defend their pop princess from her villain exes because they hurt her. it's all so ridiculous lol

Who the hell advised The Trump campaign to embrace & PLATFORM this snake?

"I have so many skeletons in my closet that if they could all vote I could run for king of the world"-RFK Jr

This content creator's video failed to mention that Bobby (and his Kennedy siblings) paraded his mistress (now wife) Cheryl Hines all over social media while he was still married to (2nd wife of 3) Mary.

He had already publicly moved on to a new woman (Cheryl Hines), but after Mary's suicide, Jr refused to allow Mary's family the rights to her remains.

After the (spectacle) funeral which Mary's family did not attend, Jr exhumed Mary's body from the "Kennedy" plot and moved it to a different location without so much as the dignity of a grave marker.

RFK Jr's goal was ALWAYS to be a SPOILER:

"I want everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign. I am simply suspending it and not ending it. My name will remain on the ballot in most states. If you live in a blue state, you can vote for me without harming or helping President Trump or Vice President Harris. In red states, the same will apply. I encourage you to vote for me. And if enough of you do vote for me, and neither of the major party candidates win 270 votes, which is quite possible, in fact, our polling shows them tying at 269, I could conceivably still end up in the White House in a contention election. But in about ten battleground states, where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name, and I’ve already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me."-RFK Jr August 23, 2024

>RFK Jr to Tucker on Aug 24th "January 6th was a bad day in American history. And what President Trump did & my view was, was, was very bad. It was reprehensible."

>Campaign director & daughter-in-law Amaryllis Fox Kennedy 

>March: only on 1 ballot in Utah and out of money

>March: Picked Nicole Shanahan (DNC donor class) as VP for cash & help getting signatures

>April: "Mr. Kennedy plans to take votes from both President Biden and former President Trump," Stefanie Spear, press secretary for the Kennedy

"I have so many skeletons in my closet that if they could all vote I could be elected king of the world"

What are your fave canon-divergent Strahd headcanons? And/or what lore changes has a DM made in your CoS campaign that you really liked?

ooh ty for the ask! 🧡🧡

im not sure if my stuff is canon-divergent or compliant because its a mix of potential-canon or random things that could be explained with lore but either way!!-

obviously potential spoilers and l o n g !

thank you for the ask, i kinda rambled but i enjoyed writing it all hehee; i swear these are my favs, didnt realize i have so many

headcanonish list and cos dm list below:

Headcanon-ish(?) list in no specific order:

strahd can invent, alternate, or customize spells

strahd passively charms people (requiring a DC save) without realizing it

strahd 4th wall breaks constantly; anything the DM knows, strahd knows

alek gwilym was the first sacrifice in strahd's ritual, not tatyana or sergei

during the ritual, alek, sergei, and tatyana's physical bodies were all taken by the mists; they can/have reincarnated many times, similar to tatyana, but are usually lost/unaware because strahd only focuses on tatyana

strahd genuinely wants a family, but attempts in desperately unhinged ways (necromancy/kidnapping/adopting)

good-aligned strahd exists, because evil-aligned tatyanas also exist

strahd's tome/i, strahd books have an unintentional charm on the reader (in an in-game sense)

all visual depictions/art/portrayals of strahd are legitimate (in an in-game sense), we just view strahd differently, and draw/see him in our perspective

all versions/campaigns of strahd are canonical, because strahd's soul also got split with tatyana's, albeit in a different 4th wall way

strahd's birthday is in june

strahd was/is neurodivergent

strahd has empathy/sympathy and suffers from his actions, yet is torn between his desires, passion, and desperation

strahd does love, but he views 'love' as synonymous with 'passion'; in his eyes, his actions are justified because the more intense/passionate he is, the more he is expressing his love

alek, sergei, and tatyana all love strahd (in the 'normal' way), but are unable to fully understand how his mind/brain works

alek, rahadin, and strahd's consorts/partners are ones closest to understanding/loving strahd

strahd converting the consorts to vampires allow them to experience love in the same way strahd does - as passion; this is also why he is so adamant in wanting to convert tatyana or just try to help her understand in his bizarre ways

rahadin existed pre-vampire strahd, but strahd wrote about alek because he was closer to alek than rahadin

strahd's father was abusive/strict to strahd; strahd is attracted to people who act opposite to his father

~~~~~

CoS/DM list (im the DM but some of these i love when other DMs do too):

everyone strahd pursues, romances, or charms are adults

for pcs, all (good/neutral/evil) npcs are romanceable without the consequence of death

campaign's 'soft cap' is 20, with boons

strahd's abilities/CR level up with the party

Vampyr is a legitimate entity/creature, that can be fought or haggled with

you do not need to kill/defeat strahd to 'beat' CoS; 'beating' CoS just means making it out of barovia or 'unlocking' access to enter other domains

can communicate/interact with other domains/darklords via spells/magic items

classic DM move of 'tome of strahd is DMified i, strahd 1 and/or 2'

players can play multiple PCs, but only one PC is able to interact in combat (unless a player is missing/unable to make the session)

classic DM move of tatyana PCs

(my favorite one:) CoS+, aka repeatable CoS games where we develop the story/lore/events based on previous CoS games (although its not really just CoS anymore but ravenloft campaigns)

Hello everyone, I am Salam from Gaza🇵🇸. I am 24 years old. I am a mother of two innocent children🥺.

My campaign verified by 90ghost and northgazaupdate🍉

We have been living in a war of genocide for ten months. We lost all the necessities of life after we were displaced from our home. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by the occupation💔.

I feel sad for my children who were deprived of their rights to shelter, safe food, and clean drink, so I had to ask for help😔

Really asking for help is not an easy thing, but because I am a mother to these children, I am forced to ask for help in trying to provide for their needs and survive them 🥺💔

We feel extremely dangerous, as the bombing increases every moment and the number of massacres does not stop😭😭

I hope you will help me by donating and sharing the link so that I can provide for my children’s needs. And move them to safety as soon as the crossings are opened🙏🥺🇵🇸.

Please donate and share to save us🙏🍉🇵🇸

Do you have any tips for gming for oneshots or more episodic style campaigns? I'm wanting to run a scum and villainy/galactic 2e game for my friends but with all our vastly different responsibilities and unreliable schedules we probably wont be able to play more than once a month at most, and likely not even with the same people every time. How do you prepare for that kind of episodic play that can be set up and reach a resolution within the same session?

The main thing with running one shots and single session adventures is organizing yourself around time. Many times I've seen people talk about how their one shot turned into a four shot, which is fine if everyone is up for that possibility, but it sounds like you're pretty restricted.

The first thing is that it helps if you run games that you are fairly familiar with. This isn't necessary but it does help with judging how long a group will take to work through the adventure. Not only will you have a better idea for how challenging an obstacle is but you'll also be able to answer any rules questions more quickly.

Planning for what the session IS, even before planning the adventure, goes a long way. What is your pitch of the adventure to your players? Is everyone doing character creation beforehand? What about reviewing safety tools like Lines & Veils? How familiar are the players with the system? How much time will you have for playing? These are all important questions to have answers to.

If the players are unfamiliar with the rules and you have the time, you may want to consider doing character creation step by step as a group. This way you can also steer players away from any skills or abilities that are completely irrelevant to what you have planned; if you're having a desert adventure, they probably don't need to take water walking/breathing spells, for example.

GMs have different valves for controlling the speed that the players move through an adventure. You make things harder than originally planned if they are flying through the adventure and easier if they are struggling. They won't notice because either the danger is ramping up or they are excited about their success.

You can adjust:

The obstacles' offense

The obstacles' defense

How aggressive obstacles are

The locations of objectives/clues

How helpful side characters are

How much control the players have over the narrative (aka just rolling with it)

All of the above will help keep your adventures to a single session.

When I run games at conventions, I follow the above advice and can run a full Beam Saber mission in 4 hours, including 1 hour for character creation.

As for doing an episodic campaign, the first step is to come up with a conceit that allows the mix of characters to change between sessions based on availability. You can hand wave absent characters more easily than you can present characters who are VERY quiet for a while. A good set up is having a central employer/fixer who hires each character on a contractual basis. Once the current job is done, they may or may not get hired again for the next one.

Next is tying the episodes together. There are two ways that I do this:

A string of pearls. Each episode is directly connected to the one before it by a thread. This may be something major like an ongoing antagonist, or small like a one off macguffin item. It doesn't have to be the same thread between every episode but having each connected to the one before gives a sense of continuity for any players who are there consistently.

A tree branch. Each episode is unconnected to the ones that come before and after, but ALL of them are connected to the same central plot. For example you may have several episodes that are all about how an organization harms people, but those people and the way they are harmed is unconnected. This creates a central theme for the episodic campaign to build itself around while allowing space for players that aren't familiar with The Lore to focus on the problem in front of them.

I hope these help you with your game! Good luck with the scheduling!

Egotistically, I'm going to assume this is about my country.

So in 2016, the media found Trump's campaign so ridiculous that they essentially gave him free air time, which arguably helped win him the election. This year, they seem to have decided to treat the election as an apocalyptian fight between him and Biden, leading to lots of messaging from liberal outlets about needing to support Biden to protect democracy, which is where I'm guessing this is coming from. I think they're wrong. Biden can't protect democracy. Voting, as an idea, is one of my favorite things about the U.S. In theory, it's a non-violent revolution! To make a change we don't need to convince people to risk their lives, we just need to convince them that a certain idea is right and get them to vote for it. But this is of course not how it's actually worked. There's land-based representation in the Senate and Electoral College, gerrymandering and other shenanigans at the state level, and centuries of voter suppression tactics and outright denying the vote to various groups. Even so, the dream of democracy has helped protect this country. Enfranchised people, even if they didn't get their choice in a particular election, were promised that they'd have another chance to get their way if the system itself survived, if they maintained it. Every single one of the tactics that undermines democracy undermines that dream and the order it provides. And to those who've been disenfranchised, marginalized and suppressed, this is a good thing! The system has failed them, and the more people who are aware of that, perhaps the closer they are to fixing the system itself. My working definition of "Liberal", as the left uses the term, is people who are still under the dream's sway. People who, when they learn of the problems with voting, choose to bury their head in the sand. Who choose order over justice. I don't think voting can fix our system, not alone.

But I think it's my duty to use every tool in my toolkit to make things better, voting included. I don't believe in the brinksmanship of "let things get bad enough that we'll have to change." I believe in fighting for every foot of ground. Because, flawed as they are, elections still matter. Local officials wield enormous power at the local level and serve to reinforce and empower officials at higher levels. It's a mistake to frame Biden as the savior of democracy. This system won't be saved in the next election, but we can make things better for so many with the right people in school boards, city councils, as mayors, judges, state senators and house reps. And in concert they can do even more. Not enough, not fix, but fight for that next mile of progress. And to do that, I need to be pragmatic enough to choose the lesser of two evils when I'm given the chance.

If there's a runaway trolley full of people bearing down and another group tied to the tracks, I'm all for trying to save everyone. Let's put brakes on the tracks, let's get those people untied, whatever we can do. Let's send some people to the trolley factory, see why they keep sending out these defective trolleys. Let's get that guy who keeps tying people up.

But at the zero hour, if you put put me in that voting booth, I'm absolutely going to pull that lever to divert it to the track with one person tied down. It's not just, it's not good, and it's not going to be any comfort to the person run over or their loved ones.

I voted for Biden last time, and so what evils he does are in part on my hands. But I'm not willing to let everything fall down while I wait for perfection to come along.

libs are so damn annoying, if you have to choose one guy to “protect democracy”, your democracy is fucking dead. “If there is an election where you are forced to pick between two evils, then it’s your duty to pick the lesser evil” if there’s an election where you are forced to pick between two evils, then it’s your duty to rid of the system that’s producing them in the first place

If you knew how campaigning works you would not be defending transphobic Texan campaign ads in front of this website's very queer userbase. The correct defense *here*, if you must say *anything at all*, is to point out that Harris is not saying these things and that transphobia is not the position of the party at large. You do not gain trans people's trust by saying "he's right to throw you under the bus actually".

At no point did I say that it is right or okay to throw Trans people under a bus. I'm very supportive of the trans community, and I'm incredibly concerned for their safety going forward. It's quite clear that Harris lost, in a big part because of, the perception of trans issues. Tr*mp spent most of his advertising on tying Harris to pro-transgender topic and scaring transphobic people that she was "for they/them, and not for you" Which is completely wrong, by the way, Harris would have been a president for everyone. Now as for what I DID say in that post, I pointed out that Allred was running in TEXAS. Come on. It's TEXAS. I ran as a Democrat in a very Republican district, and only when asked about LGBTQ+ issues did I bring up my support of the community. Not because I'm ashamed of supporting my friends, (I'm not) but because if anyone wants to win an elected position to hopefully protect the people they care about, knowing that the majority of voters actively hate trans people, staying away from the topic is the smartest thing to do in a campaign. One of the people running for county commissioner is a transwoman amd also a furry who wears her cat ears openly (in a county that is regularly in the news for hate, sadly). I canvased many people with her and took several photos with her throughout our campaigns this year. The LGBTQ+ members of my community know who I am and that I support them. It isn't about loudly proclaiming unyielding support to a marginalized and unfortunately vastly hated demographic, because that's not what this is, and that's not what Allred did. Knowing your audience is one of the first rules of a campaign. Unfortunately people are largely hateful, ignorant, and misinformed, and now we have to do even more than before to try and protect the most vulnerable among us.

And ps. It is precisely because of this site that I love and support the LGBTQ+ community - seeing the love and the joy people have firsthand humanizes them when society actively tries to dehumanize them. I'm grateful for Tumblr for helping me avoid the right-wing nazi pipeline that cishet males my age are falling victim to more and more lately.

Please don't take this as any kind of attack, but rather understand that I know what I'm talking about, that it sucks that in the real world you have to know your audience. It sounds awful and I hate that this is the way things are, and that it's going to get worse now that Harris lost. All we can do is, like I said before, protect as many people as possible going forward. Thank you
