Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay!

Take the time today to search and find out whose land you’re currently living on (both federally recognized and not), and learn a little about them.

I’m uncomfortable thinking about how many hours I’ve spent at a naming screen in a video game (and how many times I’ve restarted or abandoned a game because I realize later that I want a different name)

The first episode is in the BAG of the Roots of Old Kaldhur!! It was full of goat sounds, wizard highs, skeletal protrusions, and flaming wedding proposals. Had an absolute blast and maybe next episode Valen can shake off the crab moss psychedelics?

Also teeth count as an equipment.

Sammiiscribbles is wearing masculine makeup and looking slightly down at the camera. A long scar starts above their eyebrow and drags down their eye and down their cheek, just below the eye the scar branches off and cuts across their nose.

A thick fur wrap rests on their shoulders. The vibe of the image is almost medieval.

A gold famed selfie of sammiiscribbles smiling brightly with teeth while looking straight at the camera. They are wearing large circular wire glasses and a green rubbed turtle neck.

Beneath the image in a capital font it reads 8:30 EST ON TUESDAYS TWITCH.tv/HIGHSHELFCOLLECTIVE. Immediately to the right are black and white dice rolled as a 2 on the white, then 5, 1 , 3 on the black following the dice leading to a white dice with stylized antlers.

Above the dice in a cursive font it says sammiiscribbles as Valen.

Above the aforementioned text box is another text that reads: Roots of Old Kaldurh, a Trophy Gold Actual Play.

An actual play poster. The top section of the poster looks like lightly crumpled parchment paper. In a an all caps font it reads “ROOTS OF” then directly beneath in a stylized cursive it reads “Old Kaldurh.” Beneath in the same caps font it reads: A Trophy Gold Actual Play.

The next section of the poster shows the six cast members, left to right the names beneath the images read Chaotic, Switchel, John
Next row down:Casper, Sam, and Doc

Then beneath the last row it says 830 EST Tuesdays.

That would be VERY helpful, the more detailed, the better! I’m still a long way out, but am engaging in precisely this question.

This really tracks with my experience--I need to give Ironsworn more of a try before I completely give up, but it feels a lot to me like something that I absolutely accept that lots of people seem to be into, but 100% bounces off of me. (And FWIW, I really LOVE PBTA games generally!)
