My #Pathfinder2e (homebrew) party, exploring an island previously undiscovered by their civilization, found their first intelligent creatures. They fought their way through a cave of hostile kobolds before finding a kobold village.. where the villagers spoke an unknown language and kowtowed to them.

GM'ing my second battle in #Starfinder and it's been a series of the lowest dicerolls I've ever played with. Icey just described it as "a bunch of 4hp losers having the worst fight ever".

The rogue's description of two zombie shamblers, two skeleton soldiers, and a ghoul stalker: "Two guys who look really sick, two sets of bones, and one guy that needs more sun."

Was so hype to practice my 3d modeling while away on Christmas vacation... But my laptop shuts off after just a few minutes in Blender. T_T

The Alchemist failed a medicine check on the Ranger's giant riding-chicken.

Alchemist: "I'm sorry, I... don't know how chickens work when they're alive."

The Rogue spent all of combat Restrained, and JUST got free.

"It's your turn. You can do anything you want. You can leave. And no one would blame you at this point."

I've seen the growing anti-intellectualism, especially in the US, for years now. It often rears its ugly head as balking at the word of scientists and experts in favor of popular public figures, but I never realized how pervasive anti-intellectualism has become in day-today life before recently. 🧵

Three days now of game terrain modeling! Gonna try to get back to coding... eventually. #Blender #Godot #gamedev

Day 1 of low-poly terrain modeling comes to a close for my (hopefully) first game. #Blender #Godot
December 13, 2024 at 4:43 AM
Diving back in on #Godot and #Blender both. Crankin' out some low-poly set pieces for a platformer I'm working on.

Was trying to figure out why my mother-in-law was watching a #CriticalRole video on YouTube.

She thought @matthewmercer.bsky.social was Keanu Reeves.

My #PathfinderSociety GM is such a troll.

GM: The zombie brute begins casting a spell.
Party: *shock and widespread panic, a bit of screaming*
GM: *rolls dice* He casts Massive Fist.

Name a show you’re positive no one remembers but you.

As a writer who did all her reading before the age of 16, consumed books at a voracious speed then promptly burnt out and never touched another novel for 20+ years...

Trying to find comps for a book you're working on is hard. >_>

My newest #Pathfinder2e campaign has the party working as guards and guides for a group of field researchers studying a previously unexplored island.

With the job of protecting some of the most awkward people alive, my players built a party of some of the most beautifully awkward adventurers.

GM: Strenaakz would you like to describe yourself?
Strenaakz the Goblin: SO I'M GREEN.

It begins.

I have a terrible habit of waking up extremely early when I have something to do the next day.

I can still GM on 4hr 14min of sleep, right...? >_>

Decided to map out some locales from my previous campaign, now that I've got the mapping skills and time to actually do it. Masashi's family home, a luxurious noble villa that the party got to crash in after nearly killing their son.

But he got better!

How much is -too- much prep-time before a first session?

Since I've fully abandoned the Dead Bird Site, guess this will need to be my TTRPG live-posting outlet!

My homebrew campaign starts up this Sunday. <3

Spent hours last night in #Godot trying to figure out why my gravity suddenly flipped. My character would fly into the air when I launched my platformer. I FINALLY got it fixed, and then placed a tree on an island and... then it flew into the air two. Why? I was ready to start ripping my hair out.

Still not 100% sure if my first Godot game will be 1st or 3rd person perspective, but I started work on a goblin girl model just in case.

Spent 4hrs today learning to make tall grass split around a player character.

And a solid 40sec staring at the screen in horror when I realized... it's almost completely imperceptible from 1st-person perspective.

New year, new projects! Decided to return to trying to learn both #Godot and #Blender. Last night I managed to make four models from scratch (trees, rocks, cliffs, and grass), and make a walkable, explorable map.

Today, I start learning how shaders work!
