Papercult is still up and running and thriving, which is something I *should* periodically remind people when the owner of this site isn't crashing out, but especially when they are: papercult.club

Lol Riley might be the worst character on the show. Buffy's just not allowed to have a likeable love interest I guess.

I prefer S2, but 3 is a close second. It was just way more fun when they were still in high school. And I'll never forgive Whedon for killing off Principal Snyder.

Oof. Buffy S5... Definitely not my favourite. Although there's still some incredible storytelling sprinkled in.

Get ready for some real high highs and real low lows in S6+7!

It really leaves you wanting more as the series goes on. I've been told by countless people that the Angel series does a lot better... But I really hate that dude.

I just can't bring myself to watch a show where he's the main character.

Yeah.... that boss. I'm kind of annoyed in general that so many bosses in this game bring in ads, but that one is particularly irritating.

Sick. Yeah I really prefer the progression in each of those areas. Especially compared to the Field of Mourning, which I'm not really a fan of...

I was getting really close to killing Chronos, but now I'm totally sidetracked by the Olympus track in Hades 2. I feel like I'm doing it wrong lol. Should I focus on beating Chronos first, or am I supposed to be getting sidetracked?

Same, I was just kicking myself for leaving it on all day when it didn't need to be.

I was having a pretty rough day, in fact it was a brutal week. But a single f-bomb from my child uplifted me way more than it should have.

Imagine the joy it could bring if kids everywhere were running around shouting profanities. In a perfect world...

Dragging this up because of the pure joy my 4yo gave me the other day, after coming home from daycare and I cursed under my breath because I left the porch light on.

He evidently heard me, because when we went inside he said "Mama, we left the fuckin' light on!"

I love OOT and it will probably always rank higher than Majora's Mask for me, because I spent wayyy more time with it as a kid (literally dozens of playthroughs, it was the only game I owned for like 2 years).

But real talk, Majora's Mask is a better game.

Ahhhh Heavy Life Shit has gotten in the way of plans for participating in #MΓ–RKTOBER. Maybe I'll try to toss in an entry here or there, if I have time.

I will be following along, though! Loved everyone's weird frogs from yesterday.

MΓ–RKTOBER, day one: Frog. 
Glopstepalof
Glopstepalof, third of his name, last of his kind. Once the rightful heir to the swamp kingdoms of the east, in childhood he watched them drained by the giants so that they might build their great bridge. 
He sank deep into malice and magic. Carved runes into his flesh, fed blood into entities best left unnamed. Sucked power from the teat of the world.
Seven hundred long, lonely years passed. He grows fetid and fat at the peak of the twisted tower he built for himself, from which he communes with the things beyond the stars and the oozes that lie even beyond them. He gathers his power. His eye on the east and the dying light of the sun, he wants nothing less than to flood the world and plant his throne atop it. 
His time is nigh.

Johan: Vinnie Paz – God Sent Vengeance (2025)

Illustration: crowned frog wizard with a burning hand and a skeletal staff magically tormenting a fallen knight.

Promptober Day 2: Spells. On the image, we see a small introduction for a list of spells that are weird.

In the dust-choked library of a long-dead wizard, you unroll brittle scrolls.

The spells inside are weird and impossible to learn.

Combustive Coiffure : Your hair ignites in harmless fire for 1d6 hours, providing light but also a burned hair smell.
Snackrifice : Conjures a full meal… but only of food you hated as a child.
Temporal Sneezes : Every time you sneeze for the next hour, you shift 1d4 seconds into the future.
Sock Swap : All socks in a 30 ft radius instantly change owners.
Tongue of Beasts : You can talk to animals for 10 minutes, but they all gossip about you.
Time Stutter : For 1d6 turns, your body repeats your last action automatically.
Phantom Umbrella : Summons an invisible umbrella that follows you around for 1d6 hours.
Skeleton Key : Your finger turns into a skeleton key for 1 hour… but your finger stays stuck in the lock if you fail the roll.
Mimic’s Gift : Creates an exact copy of an object you’re holding. One is real, one is alive. You can't tell which one is which.
Bubble Doom: You float gently into the air inside a giant soap bubble for 1d6 minutes. If it pops, so do you...

Promptober Day 2: Spells

I'm offering you a list of weird spells. These are so weird that they are impossible to learn making them single-use spells.

Introduce them in your game by choosing the one you want or rolling a d10.

Enjoy!

Oooh there are more? I've only fought them like 5 or 5 times, and this was my first victory. I'm actually looking forward to facing them again now!

What's with the penis envy hashtag? Is that an "antiwoke" thing I'm not aware of?

Been running around all morning, cleaning and getting the kids ready for a busy day. The toddler's playing quietly, the baby is napping, and my wife just told me we have some time to kill before we have to head out.

I'm going to take that literally.

It's actually explicitly against the rules, yet there is an expectation that it will happen at least once per game. Sports are weird.

I may be biased, because the structure of these wotc books frequently annoys me.

I don't see it as a skill issue. Maybe there are GM's out there who could easily adapt to the situation, but I see this as a common issue with wotc modules that can't be run as written, despite really wanting you to run them as written.
