yeah, I think I’m just paralyzed by the options.

haha oh wow, I had forgotten about that!

Hm, I guess I’d better start looking at ancient chinese bronzes then.

That sounds like a fun hobby!

I wish I could have seen her perform before she died

I’ll have to post a picture when I finish it!

We love our GMs, don’t we, folks? It’s such a big job, I have no desire to ever give it a try! But I’m so glad there are people who take it on. I was dithering over different “looks” for a new dice bag, since I had it in mind that it would just be the one I use on all future campaigns until it wears out. I was having a hard time settling on something, since I wanted it to fit whatever character I’d be playing and I didn’t want to order custom d20 printed fabric or something like that. Then a friend of mine suggested making one specially for my character, since a small drawstring bag isn’t that hard to make and it’s not like it’s going to take an exorbitant amount of fabric or anything. That seemed like a really fun way to remember different characters, each with their distinctive bag. But then that opened up a whole new question of what kind of fabric would suit her best? It took some hunting, but I finally found something I liked. So now I just need to settle down and do it. A friend of mine has a bag with dimensions I like, I keep forgetting to ask her to send me the measurements.

It makes me sad and angry every time I try to use it. My friends and I played games on Tabletop Simulator while talking on Discord when we were stuck at home during lockdown, and I never got comfortable with it. I swear it was created by people who actively hate the users.

Thanks! Tillie isn’t my real name. I couldn’t think of anything cool when I was picking a username, so I gave up and just used the first name of one dead relative and the last name of a different dead relative and called it a day. This is the same reason why I don’t have an avatar; no idea what to pick. I didn’t know any people named Tillie either, until recently. I’ve met a few children named Matilda, since old lady names are cool again.

If you’re trying to find your vocal range, sometimes I check out Ramsey Voice Studio on YouTube. I think he’s pretty good at explaining things and I keep thinking I should try following and practicing with his videos, since singing is something I enjoy and it would be enjoyable to get better at it, but so far I haven’t made the time. I wish social singing was still a common cultural thing. Gathering around the piano to sing a few tunes in the evening sounds great to me!

ETA: I just realized I should use this opportunity to crowdsource an avatar image I can use, since I have no bright ideas. Hexbear users, what avatar should I start using?

ETA 2: I also realize that asking for suggestions opens me up to boaty mcboatface-tier suggestions, but I’ll take the risk.

I think it’s the inauthenticity of it that annoys me the most. A guy would refer to himself as a gentleman, not a sir. That’s just stupid. What are you, a baronet or something?

Sounds good to me!

As always, your art is an inspiration

This is vicious slander against our many glorious emotes.

Yeah, when I read that old post and contrasted my feelings then with my feelings now, I was like, “I’m not sure this is healthy” 😬 But like you say, maybe there isn’t a right way.
I’m sorry to hear you’ve got long covid. That must be scary, since there’s no way to predict what outcomes to expect.
