Reminds me of a Japanese "ghost story" I read (dunno how authentic this is, I got it out of the Barnes and Noble discount bin lol) about a man who falls asleep under a tree and isekais into the ant colony around the tree which has a long and storied history, living out a life where he married the princess, has daughters, died and was entombed before waking up and digging up the ant colony to find his own tomb.
I don't like bugs, but I would watch this kind of story around a termite colony...
I think what I like most of this is it matches my decorating skills of random shit I like in no too particular order rather than the curated fairytale house I always tell myself I'm going for and then fail miserably at because "I know it's supposed to be the strawberry room, but it's a pirate bed, it's gotta be in there".
It's funny I did a rewatch recently and I realized he's kind of obsessed about her the way Julian is about him and she kind of treats him the same way. Julian wants to play darts, nah he wants to go hang with Keiko, nah Keiko wants to get back to having a a career, he should go hang with Julian! Now Miles is making the face Julian made when he ditched Julian lmao
Can say personally when I made a Pinterest account to save recipes lol
I generally start with a pre-written adventure and then just run it sandbox living world style. If I do anything it's a ton of researching random DND lore and working that in.
Some cats just like the floor. Not all cats like being on squishy surfaces either. Mine hates the bed whenever we stay somewhere with a western bed, but if I put a food tray I got for a $1 from goodwill next to me you can bet his ass will be there lol.
Echoing move to SNW. It has a higher budget than older Trek and follows the current trend of "mini-series" storytelling. Older Trek follows older TV rules (wanted 26 eps to a season so a lot of filler to make it so). DS9 would be my other rec with a heavy caveat that if you're not feeling an ep skip it and look it up on memory alpha later, particularly for the first season. As it goes on it gets more into the long form storytelling you'd expect with today's shows, but first few seasons can be a bit rough and there can be a long time between plots being revisited (but when they are they make it count). TNG, Voyager and TOS are mainly monster/problem of the week (Voyager kind of weakly straddles longform and episodic leaning heavily towards episodic). Out of them I'd recommend TNG outside of the first two seasons (first season is TOS scifi tales encore, second season I actually like a lot and has some good eps, but general like is a minority opinion and cast gets retooled in third season anyway).
If you don't mind kids shows also recommend Prodigy (kinda like a Trek ATLA imo).
I usually ask for elaboration as a social puzzle for what my party picked up about bonds/traits/flaws (tbf they don't hit on random barkeeps). If they correctly target something they don't have to roll. If they lead with "let's ditch the twerp and take a spin around the sheets" to the NPC who tearfully asked them to help her protect her little brother that's going to be a roll to maintain relations lol. Or my party's fav for trying to join factions: "so you've seen me backstab my good friends, I'm in fact well and widely known for backstabbing, but I would never do that to you, I'm 100% devoted to the cause and also here's my extensive list of things I want for allowing you to license my name in your faction with a clause I reserve the right to refuse any duties I don't feel help me personally even though you're a noble order of paladins dedicated to helping the unfortunate for no reward" lmao (actual negotiation).
Nah, they just did it wrong. Romance comic version is a diamond frame on the male chest often referred to as the tiddy window lol
This looked like a DND map on first scroll by and my first thought was this would be great for the Demon Wastes (still probably going to steal it tbh, works great for a Ghaash'kala, orc paladins, town).
Not sure which party, but I've been getting the same notice in the mail every ~3 days with this message and my voting record listed all the way back to 2016 for the past two weeks. Honestly not sure if it's an attempt to intimidate me to vote a certain way because it sure is going beyond "people will know if you voted" to kind of insinuating they'll know who I vote for. Fail point is I don't know acronyms for political groups so I'm not sure which one they're trying to get me to vote for lol
Had some players that were doing a see who can sleep with NPCs tally check. I had some NPCs do it right back. I gave them both insight checks to realize they were now the game instead of playing the game and both failed. This feels like that lol.
