I mean they’ve worked alright, but getting off them or missing a dose is hell

I think I quit my SSRIs all very quickly when I’ve had them. Mostly cold turkey.

But God forbid I miss a dose of the SNRI, Jesus fuck. My psych did not prepare me for these.

Oh cool.

Tadalafil is a drug I use for my lungs. Huzzah.

I am shocked! Shocked!
Well not that shocked.

Gloomhaven has great monsters to play with. Ii thiink Arkham Horror (?) does too. Bloodborne boardgame has some beautiful pieces.

Pamukkale in Turkey.

It’s a really cool hot springs area where the minerals are super saturated in the water and so deposit out in calcium carbonate. Over time it becomes travertine. But just the location itself looks super interesting.

In a similar vein, the salt flats in Utah. When there’s been a rain and there’s standing water over the flats, it becomes a huge reflection - absolutely fantastic set piece for both some unique RP or for a really interesting battle.

Whoops! My reading comprehension is garbage lately

I mean the robot is cool, but the human runner beat the world record by 7 minutes??? That is insane!

I have a condition that gives me brain fog all day everyday. Couple that with untreated ADHD and oh my god my life is a nightmare.

But it’s so misunderstood, so over the last year I’ve tanked at work and there’s nothing I can do but be berated about it because I can’t prove it or get a doctor’s note. There’s nothing.

Brain fog is no fucking joke

If I’m world building and not just borrowing, then I go into decent detail. I have a set table of information I try to have fleshed out for every capital city and then another important city in whatever country. So in terms of that, it can get granular.

Cities usually go something like

• Brief history, population, population type
• Government type
• Law level (lax, moderate, authoritarian, etc), literacy level
• City culture
• Important places/holidays/NPCs
• Famous dish
• Intrigue

Some of these are left unanswered if they’re too much, but I generally try to at least get a handle on how strict the law is, how smart the people are, and the culture and food. This helps me get a clear enough image to envelope my players in any one city. I personally also have a lot of fun trying to think of the dishes, ice flowers drizzled with fruit juices in this desert city, while an underground settlement has fried mushrooms and cow beetle steaks.

I also prefer to leave the imagery of a certain city up to an image as that can really inspire me to go from whatever I’m looking at.

Yes gosh ty

As a part of group one, I moved to Pathfinder 2e during the ogl debacle and never looked back. Since then I’ve played a bunch of different systems and am really looking into playing MCDMs TTRPG [I’ve forgotten the name forgive me]

CY_BORG is very dystopian cyberpunk and is extremely easy to pick up.

Starfinder 2e is just about to come out I think. Integrates easily with Pathfinder 2e rules

I have been playing weekly games of PF2e in it for a few years now and am about to run one and it’s just great. It just keeps getting better too

OneNote is my go to for my notes storage.

Archives of Nethys for PF2e is a must have for keeping track of things

Fantasy name generator website for random things. I really like using the groups and clans and town names. (Sorry I can’t link, I’m on my phone!)

Donjon website for all kinds of things. It’s more suited for 5e, but the 5 room dungeon generator is fantastic. Their city maps are pretty good too, and they break up demographics and notable NPCs and stuff too IIRC

Kobold Fight Club is a must have for encounters. Similarly Mimic Fight Club as well. One is for 5e, the other is for PF2e, but I’ve forgotten which is which.

Watabou for maps. That’s a super powerful tool and one that I use a lot.

Pinterest. As much as I hate it, it’s like the only place where there’s so much art cobbled together in one spot. It makes it very easy to find maps, NPCs, token borders. And if you’re smart about it and reverse image search, it’s easy to find the originals if you’re someone that wants to ask permission to use a certain artwork for an NPC

Oh really? Huh. I’ll have to try again

I wish I could get it to run on Linux

For tokens themselves, I’ll find some token border art on Pinterest or imgur or somewhere and grab it to throw into Krita and make work with my character. If you want a little more pizazz, have the bbeg overflow the token in a few spots. Like if they have maybe a bit weapon or horns, don’t contain those in the border, have them poke out.

Sorry for no link, but there’s a Matthew Colville video aimed at players that I think is pretty good.

There’s also (I think) a Pointy Hat video about it as well.

In my most recent game, we started joking about all of the players inadvertently having come under a curse where they randomly become cardboard cutouts of themselves. It’s created some really funny moments – “Oh! It’s raining! Kolton is going to get wet!” Or opens the trunk “holy hells! I forgot Laios was folded up back here. Hey buddy, don’t mind these potions.” Closes the trunk

But in other games, yeah, we don’t usually name where the player has gone. It’s just a moment of them being sorta there but quiet.
