I'm really excited to see where this goes!

For those wondering, we didn't die mostly due to a well-placed Disintegrate. My "stick an immovable rod in its innards" was disappointingly low damage.

For those wondering otherwise, our best plan involved turning it into a regular worm, using an immovable rod with a hole drilled through the length of the staff, clicking the rod, then dispelling polymorph.

Tellan is a rules-light, funky, free-form RPG system focused on narrative. It strives to capture the heart of epic storytelling and thrilling battles with simple, fast-paced combat rules and built-in roleplaying hooks. The system is still in development, and I'm very interested in feedback and playtesting. If you have any thoughts to share, I’d love to hear them! :^)

Oh, and Tellan is licensed under Creative Commons, so you’re free to hack it or adapt it into your own system!

In my new scale, °X, 0 is Earths' record lowest surface temperature, 50 is the global average, and 100 is the record highest, with a linear scale between each point and adjustment every year as needed.

Disclaimer: I'm obviously not try to pretend this is a good movie, but it is a pretty good review of the hypocrisy at play here, and this channel could use some more views. Everybody point and laugh.

"Act like you've been there before" is a cliché I've heard that means to behave in a situation that is new and exciting to you as if it is something old and familiar to you instead.

As a closeted transfeminine person, I'm thinking about painting my fingernails black - wearing coloured polish in public would be a first for me. And I'm thinking of getting them done at a salon - another first.

I'm so nervous but excited. I know from experience of rocking neutral or clear polish as a cis-looking AMAB person that being super nonchalant about having painted nails in public will lead to me having a better time, which is ironic because rocking painted fingernails in public is like bucket list-level excitement for me. But to assuage my high levels of social anxiety and increase my odds of having a good time, I know I ought to be nonchalant or "act like I've been there before." It's kind of humorous to me, even though I obviously don't think there should be any stigma at all.

The more I dwell on this, the more I realize it's important to me and I should do it. Gotta gather my courage tho! 😅

I mean it's not bad, but I still got that husky clocky thing going on. Still need to dial in the sharpness, get more consistent, and find the confidence to go all-in.

Just curious. If we're sharing the bed and I roll to not face her, my cat yells and marches over in front of whatever side I'm now facing and if there's not enough room, that's a problem for me to fix.

Just curious if this is standard cat behaviour or another adorably needy quirk of mine?
