I live on the coast, and there's something strangely hypnotizing about how the sea is always there, be it bright and calm as it is now or dark and stormy. Lighthouses are a kind of liminal space, where one crosses over from the normal world of land to the mystery and danger of the sea. I love that.

I've got some books and a bag of cherry cough drops and my window open. All in all, chill day.

I love games, cars, aircraft, memes, playing the accordion, and generally being a weirdo.

I'm still (somehow) closeted to most people but I'll probably come out in the next few months. Can't wait, but also a little terrified.

It's a lot like Sunless Sea, but a lot of the rough edges that Sea had have been resolved, leaving a game filled with warm buttery goodness. There's still a lot of work to be done, but please check it out!

I was playing with a group of old friends at a summer camp, and this happened at like 1:00 in the morning, thus the insanity.
So, my character, being a rogue, decided to test out her thieving skills by attempting to steal a thievery kit (yes really) from a store. I rolled badly, and the shopkeep noticed and called the guards. We get into a tussle with them, and were running around the shop like mad dodging them. Our ranger, played by my friend Kat, was pretty much continually hopping back and forth across the countertop of the shop to mess with the guards. Eventually, she rolled badly and failed the jump, but then asked if she could land on the counter lying down, which the DM allowed and she rolled well for. She then asked the immortal question:
"Can I try to seduce the guards?"
The DM, fully done with our shit, just let it happen. IRL, she got on the ground and acted out what her character did: lying in a seductive pose, she asked us all to "draw me like one of your french girls." Then she rolled. Natural 20. The DM, now just wanting to get it over with, said that since it was so effective the guard would take "love damage." He failed to remember that the guard had only one hitpoint remaining. He described how the guard's eyes "flamed out" and he collapsed on the ground, dead.

Comment on Hey tilders, how many of us are queer? in ~talk
MsZapatista LinkHey! Trans lesbian checking inHey! Trans lesbian checking in
If you like that sort of thing, please, please go check out Dwarf Fortress! It started in 2002 and was released into alpha in 2006, and development hasn't slowed down at all. It's free, and the community is amazing. It is rather hard to get into, but once you figure out what's going on it's one of the best games out there.
