Hey, whoever is up:
I just got a text from a coworker and good friend. Her husband has been on the transplant wait list for some time and they just got a call to come to the hospital; he's getting his new heart at 3:00 a.m., Pacific Time. Anyone who feels inclined to say a prayer, think a good thought, whatever works for you, please send one Ken's way.
I'd be grateful.
LM
I hope it goes well.

Now my standard operating procedure when it comes to clothes:
If it ain't falling apart, there's no need to get new ones.
YES
Which brings me to the point of shoes. I like to walk around during lunch time. And I have the same operating policy when it comes to shoes as to clothes. So during one of my famous long walks, my shoes actually fell apart on me! I had to hobble back to office and beg for a pair of slippers to tide me the day.
HAH! This reminds me of a relatively recent (earlier this year) anecdote: I was wearing my sandals (the ones I've had for years) to my son's birthday party, and I took a step and suddenly my foot felt weeeiiiiirrrrrd and then I couldn't move it and found myself falling toward my face. Fortunately, there were lots of things to catch me, but the sole of my sandal had mostly fallen off, leaving only a side-piece and the part that wrapped around my ankle. It was a weird rest of the birthday party (we were at a Chuck-E-Cheese's; no way to switch shoes).

Prayers for his swift recovery! (As by this point, the surgery is probably over!)

I'm waiting for you
Look, it's a complex set of posts that have to go up together, and I don't have the computer for most of the weeke-
(more recruitment threads)
... oh, nevermind, carry on, then...

I can't believe I just did this...
(It's pretty awesome, though.)

It's incredibly windy (regular 30-40 mph gusts), periodically rainy, but also incredibly warm (a high of 58 expected today).
So it's like a slightly colder pineapple express.
Of course in typical Wisconsin tradition tomorrow our high is expected to be 28 degrees (with flurries and 40-50 mph wind gusts).

I'm...this is going to be interesting.
Usual PnP group, actually! Orthos has occasional bouts of extreme overtime that mean he can't regularly DM. Iron Gods is going to be our filler campaign for those off months of Savage Tide.

These two groups of mine are opposite extremes, equally terrifying.
The students are wildcards because they're new to the game and don't know what they're doing. I cannot expect them to behave as adventurers normally would because they're not used to it, so they are difficult to plan for.
Savage Tide group are wildcards because they've all been playing for years and know exactly what they're doing. I cannot expect them to behave as adventurers normally would because that's what the DM would expect, so I expect them to immediately jump off the rails. Put another way, we've all been banned from Mythic because of how badly we broke it, and Orthos informed us that our Kingmaker run merited at least a .5 on the Henderson scale of derailment.

You liked it, TL?
My friend said I was addicted to PBPs and was seriously worried.
I approve of monster sanctuaries and all that. I even let the wizard temporarily keep a pet Voonith NPC.
I think too many people murderhobo their way through things, again I'm not much better since in the last 5e adventure I suggested murderhoboism because I saw 3 orcs guarding a camp with a barricade of human and non human bones.
I figured any orc putting up to that was a shady character. And I don't like leaving live enemies behind me.

My go-to gal for this sort of literature is Hannah Wilde, but she hasn't 'done' trolls yet, if you'll pardon the expression. Sentient koala bears, sharkmen, griffons and leprechauns (is there really a market for leprechaun themed erotica?), yup. Trolls, no.
I'm not going to investigate any further. There are some things we were Not EVER Meant To Know About, after all.

Oh, this week is NOT starting off well...
Today should be the most interesting. I drive a Prius. I am probably picking up somewhere around $1500 worth of food to feed 400 people this afternoon (the school reimburses me; I'm not THAT generous). Now, try this: Go to Costco. Spend $1500. Fit it in a Prius.
Should be an... interesting... trip...

I have been modding my copy of Skyrim Special Edition for the XBOX One. Up til now it has been freezing up on me as they take me to the chopping block. I got it working well enough to get to Whiterun and it crashed as I tried to enter the city. ~sighs~ Now to figure out what mod is causing the issue.
The mod that was causing the initial hang up was Relationship Dialogue Overhaul and I don't know why. Oh well.

Fun things to do with a school shopping list: Think of horribly inappropriate uses for the ingredients:
- 40 lb flour
- 5 gallons molasses
I'm also looking at the "80 lb pork tenderloin, 50 lb baby carrots" and thinking there's GOT to be something there, but not thinking of it right now...

im familiar with orc porn, but not troll porn. Saw some stuff back in the day with shadowrun, but that was always nonsensically endowed troll enjoying intimacies with tiny keeb.

That's not horrifically-inappropriate at all!

This reminds me of my want to make a maple syrup ooze monster.

See? Now that's an inappropriate I can get behind.
"AM BARBARIAN eat sticky sweet ooze monster!"
nom nom nom nom nom
"AM BARBARIAN cannot breathe! AM BARBARIAN have Great Fortitude!"
AM BARBARIAN smothers
Oh no.
