Insektors (early 3D kids animation) got this; it was a french show that got dubbed separately for the US and UK.

I rewatched it while at uni; the UK version is _so much_ better than the US version, which kills all the jokes

I've also never run a game where at least one player hasn't wanted to catch one of the mons they met - despite knowing that it's a one shot and they'll never see that character again!

JourneyMon Devlog #3: Seasons of Adventure - Journey Moves JourneyMon is coming soon to Follow the campaign here ! Seasons of Adventure I thought I'd take the opportunity in this dev log to preview one of the elements of the full JourneyMon game that isn't in...

Time for another devlog for the JourneyMon #TTRPG! This week I preview mechanics that aren't in the Quick Start Guide. Journey Moves like "Evolve" and "Reach a Milestone" are all about campaign play. Check out the article for the full Evolve move, and to discover the only way your trainer can die. โ˜ ๏ธ

we lost something as a society once we started referring to "Carriage Return" as "Enter"

I choose not to answer that question so I can continue to forcibly placebo effect myself

Oh, blue! None of the edgy arrogance of black, hidden behind their wall of red. But equally, none of the sheeplike conformity of the green, yellow and brown.

In truth, the spiritual end of a break is 134, not 147.

The City & The City is one of the many where he takes pains to describe the rail transit system despite it being of very little narrative importance

okay, then I choose the cockatrice, since sentient furniture has burned me before

"mostly" is not an ideal amount of getting along when petrification is involved !

vital question: do me and the cockatrice get along

Getting called out in the group chat for using `1.333` rather than `4/3` when calculating a ratio.

The blurb for book "A Game in Yellow", a horror romance(?) about using the text of the king in yellow to edge, pulling away from reading too far into the text as a form of BDSM

I have not yet read this book, but I kinda want to?

(I def recommend making some of the strap elastic rather than just leather, as it's way comfier than my first two drafts, which were essentially just a tight belt around my head)

Also the first ones you make will be pants. My green ones were great, but fell apart; the second set I made were solid, but really ****ing hurt to wear. The last worked nicely.

So I can't give a proper tutorial that I've used, but I can say that the best material for the brass rims is "escutcheons" for locks; you can just unscrew the lock part and stick a bit of perspex inside. Then the rest is leatherwork.
