My greatest fear is being unnecessary or having no use to the people I'm around. Many of my PCs share this trait to different degrees. The only one who didn't have this trait was Amyra. So a question for the TTRPG players: What traits of yours leak through into your PCs whether you intend it or not?

Stone. Gouache on paper. 4th one for #septempera. There's a village near where I live where there's this tree that awkwardly hugs the last remnants of a stone wall. I've been wanting to paint it for a while. And I took the chance to put in a tiny homage to a favorite of mine, Rien Poortvliet.

Painting of a twisting tree hugging some piled stones. A robin stands on top, little gnomes can be spied peeking through holes in the trunk.

I've decided to stop actively looking for TTRPG AP/ recording opportunities for now. The whole process thus far has been massively demoralising and I'm getting tired. Still open for collabs and skillshares though, and am still on the lookout for new Solo games to play/ test.

My husband and I will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in 5 days. We had planned to go back to Denmark where we had our honeymoon, but that's not happening. Instead, we are treating ourselves to a new wardrobe. The damn thing costs almost as much as the flights to Copenhagen back then!

Discovered at the weekend that none of my extended family remembered that I've done art since I was 8, and only one remembered that I used to be a freelance photographer. I then sat there as one of my aunts raved about how "close knit" the family was. It was exceptionally uncomfortable.

When you play TTRPGs, chances are you'll one day create a character that you're super excited to play, but don't get to for one reason or another. I have one of those right now and he's living rent free in my "most epic quotes of the year" part of my brain, giving me gold I can't even use...

If there are three things that trans people need to remember if they’re using toilets in pubs, restaurants etc., it is these:

Asking about sex
13.161 Personal data includes information about a person's sex which may also be protected under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights
(ECHR). In particular, it is important to be aware that some people, including some trans or gender non-conforming people, may wish to keep such information private as far as possible and may find it distressing to be asked about their sex.
13.162
To comply with Article 8 of the ECHR, a service provider must be able to objectively justify asking an individual about their sex. A request for information about sex should only be made where it is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. Furthermore, a request for information about sex which is not a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim could also amount to unlawful indirect gender reassignment discrimination.

13.170
3.170 It is unlikely to be either practical or appropriate to approach any particular dividual to make enquiries about their sex in relation to facilities, such as toilets, which are incidental to the primary service.

A mixed media painting on black paper of a geode containing a cavern. In the foreground moss spills out of the geode, and blue-pink glowing mushrooms grow a little further in. In the background, in the depths of the rocky cave, tiny glowing dots indicate more mushrooms. Bluish light filters into the cave from high above.

As a writer who doesn't use Al, it's not like there is some temptation I am resisting.

I am a writer. I engage in the act of writing.

It's like asking if someone who loves to play tennis would prefer sitting on the sidelines and watching a robot play tennis. They'd be like, "No, man, it would just make me want to play tennis."

There's no temptation; the very idea is baffling.

Image of Mwindaji, a named Remnant (a type of living weapon in Ha-Nahn that is formed when a weapon absorbs so much hatred and malice from its owner that it tries to keep on fighting even after that person dies) stalking forward through an eerie yellow orange night with a full moon. She wears a purple torn and tattered garment with great blades for her arms and a masked, eyeless face. She leads a small troop of others behind her as though prepared to destroy an unsuspecting village. Her body is full of indications of damage from previous battles and yet she still exists.
