Aaron der Schaedel 💀 Thick in the arm, and thick in the head

Also, minigame: guess which one was me.

Conversation I had in Deep Rock Galactic:

Dwarf 1: Are we gonna fight this [Dreadnought?]
Dwarf 2: Well, we can try reasoning with it.
Dwarf 3: I don't speak Glyphid, unfortunately.
Dwarf 4: You need to drink more Slammers, then.

Freaking awesome Balatro run just now.

Every time I see this image, I can't help but think of those German memes where a dog is in some wild circumstance.

This one would be "My fucking dog is stuck in the microwave!" / "Mein Scheisshund ist in die Mikrowelle!"

I've said it once and I'll say it again: People who think that character death is the only interesting consequence in TTRPGs are boring people.

"Oh I can't create tension if the game doesn't allow for me to kill a PC."

Really? You can't? Or are you just bad at GMing?

These sentiments are why my approach as GM is to be an arbiter of events.

I set the stage, but then the players may use it as they see fit.

(Importantly, I'm not coy. I inform players when they're about to do something that their character would know is a bad idea. "Gotcha!" moments are dumb.)

Mood.

YouTube video by Aaron der Schaedel Fanmade Final Fantasy ttRPGs -- Disc 2

Finally finished this fantastic labor of love I began earlier in the year.

The content is pretty sparse and surface level. Though I do think I outdid myself with the VFX and acceptably with the audio mixing.

That said...you ever wanted Final Fantasy in your ttRPG? Look at some of these!

"I want [character] to beat me up. It would be sooooo cute!"

"I don't care what you do, just stay outta my freakin' BBS!"

apple kid, jeff, ness, starman, putrid moldyman, ego orb, frank fly, toto captain, electra, I<3NY NPC, ATM, everdred, orange kid, fuzzy pickle, 2x crested bookas

> company sells a ness outfit for 14 years
> finally plan an earthbound-themed halloween party
> didn't coordinate costumes
> bracing for prisoner's dilemma, "oops all nesses"
> day of the party arrives
> exactly one ness
> TWO crested bookas

I dread any sort of video editing, truth be told. But I'm almost sad now that I'm nearly done with Fanmade Final Fantasy ttRPGs Disc 2.

On the other hand? I didn't expect to find so much when making disc 2. There'll be enough new material for third, I'm sure.

(I brought my A-Game to this one.)

That was something I did once, because I had a lot of stuff I felt was clever writing, but I cut it from its main script.

So I used some really bizarre thumbnails for those.

It was sort of a signal that the viewer isn't getting their regular fare from me.

What if the thumbnail looked like an insane conspiracy theory with a title admitting it was brain rot?

Cube using nothing but custom cards.

The things around his legs, and that thing in his hand reminded me of tools.

So I figured there was some kind of craftsmanship going on.

The boy delights in taking things apart.

Not destroying. No no no.

Deliberately and carefully removing pieces from things until they are a pile of all it's original parts.

And sometimes, he'll even remember how to put it back together!

Dude.

Tabletop RPGS: The most fun you'll ever have filling out paperwork.

A Procreate doodle of Lieutenant Columbo, piloting his own version of Mega Man's Rush Marine, that consists of his basset hound Dog. There's a tiny floating cigar near Columbo 's mouth, and it's very likely it's filling the cockpit with cigar smoke.

“I asked the robotics doctor, Thomas Light, to give me a few upgrades to Dog. My wife doesn’t like it much, but she’ll come around.”

It was a lot of Warhammer when I looked through it a few months back.

Kind of frustrating to see folks treat Pathfinder as a different game.

A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customize, declutter and improve your Windows experience. Win11D...

If you intend to keep using Windows, you can remove the "AI" garbage and telemetry with Windows 11 Debloat.

It also works on Windows 10, because Windows 10 ALSO has Copilot.

The foolish manner in question was spending 50USD on tea leaves and honey.

... And it was certainly marvelous honey and tea.

But way more than I budgeted for.

Right, so I did go back and read this.

It's... Pretty much what it says on the cover; if you want Final Fantasy 14 in your D&D, this is it.

That isn't a wall that was built to keep you out, but a cliff side that was always there.

If you want up, I've got some rope.
