#TTRPG question about #UsageDice
How do people handle single shot wpns? Do you apply a UD to the ammo kept in the pocket? If yes, how do you handle that same idea with wpns that are not single shot? Example, laser pistol UD6 but I have 3 xtra packs for it.
My instinct is to track the 3 packs, no UD

When she's not slaying the demonic children of the Worm Witch, Fawn Rainchild enjoys relaxing on her sword.
c. 2007, I think.
Aside: Very few people saw the Hellion Cross comic with Fawn. I will most likely reprint that in Black Pudding Comics, if the project gets off the ground. Fawn in spaaaace!

I should take my own advice.
Create what you want. Draw what you want. Write what you want. Don't worry about it, just do it. You can sort it out later. Motion is key to creativity. Nothing happens without it. #Art #Creativity #DimeStoreAdvice

On a scale of 0 to 100, the romance between Louis Wu and Teela in Ringworld is a weak 0.2.
But Larry Niven seems real horny for the 22 yo Earth girl.
Perhaps Louis could explain it to me and Teela. He likes doing that.

When you see a comic book described as 32 pages... do you assume they mean 28 interior and 4 for the covers? Or do you assume they mean 32 interior and 4 more for the covers?
I assume the latter. Page count, to me, never includes covers. But I'm curious if other people have a different assumption.

Found a scrapbook I kept in the late 90s. On this page I glued my original Iron Maiden Somewhere in Time cassette sleeve onto some Egyptian stuff. But I'll be honest... most of the pages are pics of Kate Winslet and Christina Ricci.

I haven't listened to #KGLW in a while. I think I got over-saturated. For a long time it was 95% of my music diet. When Phantom Island dropped, I was going into a metal mood. I still haven't listened to the album fully, so I have something to look forward to! #WeirdoSwarm

At some point you must accept that you can't please them all. Stop chasing that ghost. It's paralyzing, isn't it? The fear that this person or that will not like what you created. You want everyone to like it, but they can't and won't and shouldn't. Everything is not for everyone.

I'm not sure if I ever posted this Zarp image or not. Was supposed to be for a comic book cover, but I never finished the comic. This one got away from me a bit. I don't love it, but I don't hate it. It's weird enough that I dig it but ghastly enough that it's kind of ugly.

I don't watch much TV. Sometimes I do, mostly I don't. But I watched Pluribus and fucking loved that shit. Right up my alley. Will continue this one for sure.
