"Babe, I'm assuming you ordered the fingerprint ink pad..." Indeed, and for ttrpg purposes. But the last time someone tried this, they couldn't much off me. Years of typing? Probably. Industrial-grade glue-gunning? Surely. But also... (shifty eyes)

Yes. But I also read that as "Stage Manager," and having done community theater with a lot of neurospicy kids under the age of 16, that is also really true, but more from a "wrangling a sack of hobgoblins" kind of way

I am a cis, white, straight woman who was born and raised on a remote dairy farm, raised around no diversity at all. Virtually everything I know about people unlike that narrow group came from meeting people at cons first. Embarrassing but true.

the time we pulled the biggest heist was also the time that I (the player) misunderstood the consequences of springing the trap and almost got my in-game sister killed, so THAT was a horrifying moment of, "NO, NO, WAIT, I WAS BEING DUMB"

we did a lot of fun bartending during lockdown, which means I can look at a recipe for a gin cocktail, see "jam" as one of the ingredients, and my nose wrinkles, because I have yet to make a jam-and-gin anything that doesn't taste like Krusty the Clown's Non Narkotik Kough Syrup

We're all trying to get by in our own way. And if your way involves mysterious libraries, old weird magic, and secret meetings with mossy gods at the dark end of the forest, so much the better.
