DMing and Domming are essentially the same thing. There's an overabundance of players/subs wanting you to put them through elaborate roleplay scenarios while needing you to explain all of the rules to them.

I've been a little slow reading, but in the past 5 months since my move, I've gotten through:
Mistborn: The Final Empire
Little Sin
Mexican Gothic
This doesn't include all of the reading through TTRPG books.

Recently I picked up the Drakkenheim monster guide and now I must find a way to include the not-skavens in every DnD game that I run!
Strahd just has a bunch of giant, bipedal rats in her catacombs, right???

And on the note of finishing my last book, I need to decide if the next read is:
- Mistborn: Well of Ascension
OR
- The Priory of the Orange Tree

So I just finished reading Mexican Gothic and... SPOILERS AHEAD...
I was not expecting it to go from creepy, possibly incestuous, slightly cultish horror family to... RE7 FUNGUS INFESTED DEFINITELY INCESTOUS TOTALLY A FUCKED UP CULT WITH MOULD POWERS FAMILY.

Today I ran my first full session of Daggerheart and I have to say that I found the system a lot of fun to GM. I'm not sure if I maybe ran things a little TOO loosely, but my players all seemed to enjoy it and they got their big moments.
It was also a chance to FINALLY bring out my lil frogs!

A question I've been posing in a few places: when it comes to exploration of large indoor areas in TTRPGs (that aren't designed as combat heavy dungeon crawls) do you prefer fully explorable maps OR theatre of the mind to move through empty areas and a few maps for battles/important rooms?

Instead of a Femme Fables stream Kally and I will be troubleshooting audio issues so HOPEFULLY we can actually get a stream going in the future.

Audio issues mean no stream today and maybe not tomorrow either.

There's a big job that needs doing tomorrow... getting OBS set up on the new machine.
Everything is actually looking good for not only a regular stream during the week, but also a return to the Femme Fables adventures!

With the help of the wonderful @kallycutie.bsky.social I now have a proper schedule to work by! Here's hoping I can be a little more productive and get myself caught up on everything I'm behind on.

sure, give the prominent character a glossy golden dress and also draw her and a bunch of others in a big god party. sounds like a very practical idea...

Okay but this was part of a very important discussion that I'm going to drag here.

A boss concept I'm working on... twin creatures, one an aspect of sadism that deals more damage the more injured its target is, and the other an aspect of masochism that deals more damage the lower its health is.

Best idea for the Princess Bride remake: it's the original kid now telling the story to his daughter, the same exact story save for one change... You flip the roles of Wesley and Buttercup. Not gender swap, just switch the roles, so Dread Pirate Buttercup off to storm the castle to save Bride Wesley

I hate this... GPUs are already way too expensive and increasing in cost with each generation so we can get what, feature's that will only ever be noticed in a tech demo?
We're long past the days of noticeable graphical improvements between gens, maybe now we focus on making things more affordable.

The struggle with trying to create 3rd party Pathfinder content is that Pathfinder doesn't really need it. There's no huge gaps that need to be filled, there's no lack of new and interesting features, and Paizo just keeps releasing solid additions that fill the want for shiny new things.
