And Call Your GF is the very model of a narcissist.

I think she builds her songs around a central point, all of which are profoundly creepy.

"Call Your Girlfriend" has more of the "Dancing On My Own" vibe.

Dancing On My Own is still my favorite because it's this dance tune with a good beat and her vocals are amazing and then you realize that she's stalking someone and it all goes horribly wrong.

Yeah... still irked that the event organizers had been previously trolled into being paranoid about under 18-yr-olds, and thus hassled the young woman you brought.


  Ah well.... that group imploded. Shame, very creative output for a very short time, and the Esozone cons were peak moments.

Well it did basically sour me on participating in this grand new forum. Like I have a game-conceot I'd really like non-dnd grogs to look at, but like fuck most indie gamers.

It’s all so /cliquey/. Everywhere I go. I hate it. And so I left it; they don’t need me and I don’t want them.

If you need some feedback, I make no promises on speed, but I am obsessive about mechanical design and wouldn’t mind doing some consultancy.

I’ll even give you a 50% off deal from my usual price of 0USD/hr and waive my flat fee entirely (normally ten cents).

This kind of BS is why I dropped out of tabletop communities. I had a tabletop system I was working on focused on politics, social combat and heist sort of gameplay, and the communities soured me on ever fleshing it out beyond running, max, one campaign with some friends some day.

Idioms and Iterations: A fellow extends idioms to keep the folks on their toes. The folks are talking about a breakup, folk2 gives the obligatory 'plenty of fish,' fellow adds 'though no fish is going to be an oyster.' Other folks are discussing social plans, folk2 gives the forewarning 'don't count your eggs before they hatch,' fellow provides 'and possibly don't even hatch those eggs before you've laid them.'

'x and y' novels usually have some lesson, maybe the difference from pessimism to cautious skepticism

Welcome to Howl's World.

For real. I restrained myself full on shitting him because i am an adult and I actually do shut up and listen, when folks are talking other games I am not interested or about the intersection if racism and the like.

But the instant some punkasses start trying to say what dnd OUGHT to do, I just have to say 'why.' DND is always at worst the 3rd best game at doing any one thing. Like if the thrust of someone's arguement is 'shut up white boy get fucked.

When they follow you home with stupid grins and their pants full of shit, you are a Doktor.

The best part is only the white cis man got moderated and then flounced. But it's the Man coming on him that is such a travesty.
