Hard Life Lessons from the Land of Q Clearances - Funranium Labs

In an ongoing effort to share helpful things in life about topics other than delicious coffee & beer, I want to take a moment to discuss something that effects all of us, every day. First, let us revi...

It is Excellence In Management Day, AKA Lavely Day! Much like you should life your life such that they don't celebrate when you die and piss on your grave, similarly don't live such that your retirement is still celebrated 20 years later by people that never even met you.

I’m sure @blarkytopia.bsky.social will figure something for maximum entertainment and drama.

I didn't stick around but I gather that when the parents got back to the hotel, there were some police handy to have a word with them about "appropriate toys for children" and "leaving your children unattended while you go to a concert".

One time walking around downtown San Jose, I ran across cops hiding behind a car because they were being "targeted by a sniper". I saw the dot scan across the ground and was able, using a cop's own laser sight, to show it was just a laser pointer. Saved some kids from experiencing SWAT.

Stickers are close enough. Maybe we need ribbons to stick to the badges.

Oh Pullo, you were an inspiration to us all. A true son of Rome and the Thirteenth.

That would be neat to not die immediately, yes. I would like to stop setting Failure Speed Records for the game library.

Last year, they suggested that the Hellmouth would be very fun not just to play but for people to watch. Boy howdy were they right, but I think that's also the one that caused the most injuries and mutations in one adventure.

Oh, he is. Somehow, inexplicably, he is.

Before game day on November 15th, Team SENSIBLE SHOUES gets to go to DiceFest for Halloween weekend. We'll get to play on their beautiful 3D boards, see previews, and ask the creators of the game @flyingfroggames.bsky.social what scenarios will be most entertaining for you to watch us play.

Be a responsible and respectful adult in the first place and see where you get.

I love that game. Staying afloat is so hard.

Ah dammit. Normally it's more helpful than that.

Revive Tokens, so that when we get knocked down by a tank that we get up again, will be key. Also, soul cushioning cocktails to make the difficulty of the struggle feel a bit better.

Also, there's a chance someone might turn into a vampire or werewolf. Maybe that will help with tanks?

At the moment, thanks to very generous people, we will be fighting at least two Trederran tanks. This, generally, is not ideal for level 1 characters but let us remember our battle cry: FOR THE KIDS!!!

I know that my character is trying to become a club wielding outlaw Enforcer of feudal Japan, but not what I was before taking up my new gig.

@blark.bsky.social has become a traveling monk with Most Serene Punches, but who he was before this new path is remains a mystery.

Let's talk about nicer things than long retired awful people, Columbus, and dumbassery with lasers. Let's talk about playing Shadows of Brimstone of Extra Life!

We're about a month out from game day and we all almost know what our characters will be like. Surprisingly unmutated as well.

It is fitting that Lavely Day happens in spooky season. Most Halloween tales are cautionary ones and, boy howdy, is everything about Lavely cautionary.

Decades.

Imagine the kind of mind that gets a law degree specifically because they want to fuck with people.

As in the days of yore, older employees now nearing retirement themselves tell of when they were young and Lavely stalked the halls. Cautionary tales that the young ones might know that Lavely is still out there, to guard against the Lavely in their hearts lest they become one.
