When I was nine or ten, I asked for a Complete Works of Shakespeare for Christmas. I knew from the amused response of the adults that that was weird, but in a cute-precocious way that fed straight into my "gifted kid," people-pleasing, push that lab-rat lever for a dopamine hit brain.

I went trick-or-treating all the way through high school and my freshman year in college (up to the fancy neighborhood where the professors lived) then every year with "my kids" when I was teaching elementary school and AGAIN with my own children. Halloween is joy, and joy is for everyone. 🎃

Just finished a stint of Offworlders (which I do believe uses that system) and never felt that our GM was punishing us with the partial successes. Complications could almost always be resolved, usually through teamwork. ((I have other issues with the system, just not THAT one.))

this is two-for-two campaigns with my Tuesday night group where we've ended up neck-deep in the shit and somehow managed to crit our way to the Perfect Ending (not saying we all made it, just that it was the Right Way for things to finish) anyway, morning-after feelings are a thing

"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

belatedly, I realize this sounds like I called *her* a giant bag bag of dirty laundry, but really, it's more "a pile of comfie clothes now full of homemade brownies" scenario, so there IS a difference, you see

Married to a Bulgarian, he says the first one. In a similar vein, my SIL has the "a" on the end of their last name to signify her lady status, but if you referenced the two of them in a sentence together, you'd use his (the male) version of the last name.
