Anyway. I wrote a one-page ttrpg this summer, the first one since that disastrous experience.

Day 15 - nails

#mörktober

Red background with magenta highlights. Poorly-collaged anatomical engraving if hand with twisted metal nails.

Text reads: "Nails

"Rusted nails scavenged from the razed heretic temples of the southern merchant families.

"When glued to the tips of one's fingers, these gruesome implements grant their
wielder -2 on DR in melee (and +1 on Presence whenever, because they truly do look fabulous). Rake across an opponent's skin and deal D4 damage:
1. lingering dread accompanied by weeping wounds
2. slow-onset giddiness that reduces both judgment and balance
3. sudden nosebleeds and insight into what exactly their parents' issues were
4. limb tremors that resemble very poor dancing"

I've been poking at a Mörktober thing that combines two prompts, but I'm having the worst time figuring out how to organize & present it/them.

get yrself a big old rusty relic; it could come in handy

#mörktober

Yellow on orange background: distorted engraving of a classic anchor wreathed in rope. Text reads: "Anchor

"The anchors of long-sunken boats are exposed as the waters of Lake Onda continue to shrink and congeal. They erupt from the muck coated with a phosphorescent rust which attracts both the honey moth and. where the waters are still deep enough, the griefglitter, that small darting fish that spawns up the far rapids of Tuonela.

"Should you need to visit an afterlife, hauling one of these on your back is not the worst idea.

"Intact: 125s Flakes of rust: 10s per handful

I've never really gotten a satisfactory answer on this beyond the fact that Western establishmentsrian left liberals, especially in the Anglosophere and Germany, just simply identify with Israel on an ideological level.

Emissary Of Night | ليلى @diplomatofnight.com · 1d

Yeah I think it is abundantly clear that Israeli politicians, and not just limited to Netanyahu but even up to Lapid, have a preference for right wing blocs in other countries. The puzzling part is that liberals and left wingers across the board in N America and Western Europe have no response

I just saw a creative crowdfunding campaign that offered the option of flexible multipart payments. The hell are we doing?

yes, for sure! Much as I like the absurdist vibe, celebrating them (overtly or not) as a better sort of protester is awful

"not the bad kind of [X]" is a huge reason liberalism cannot address, let alone challenge and defeat, fascism. That eager willingness to share the oppressor's POV abandons all pretense of solidarity.

You are correct that cops will fight anyone, however, optics are a thing whether we like that or not. Black blocs are great, but they also feed into the "radical leftist" imagery this administration is foaming at the mouth for. Not giving it to them is somewhat satisfying.
