I just watched an ethics training video talking about developing a “culture of compliance” at our organization.
I know what they mean, but damn, could they at least attempt to not sound like an authoritarian dystopia?

Massive amounts of money are just a means to avoid the following the law. People should not be allowed to have so much money that they can afford to set up and fly to private islands to abuse children.

Anyone with #anxiety and #depression have luck with sertraline over lexapro?
Currently on lexapro+buspirone but it doesn’t seem to be helping plus is tanking my sex drive so psych is considering a swap to sertraline+buspirone.

#ttrpg map makers! I’m looking for asset packs to use with DungeonDraft
I know Forgotten Adventures is the gold standard, but their commercial use license is less than ideal.
I’ve bought the DnDungeons pack which is a royalty-free, attribution-required license and looking for similar.
Recs?

Putting together an experimental #pathfinder #ttrpg adventure.
Focus is on the GM experience, giving clear sections for mechanical considerations rather than burying them in lore descriptions. Also providing exploration activity guidance for each area.
Will share when done.

I’ve been struggling with intense anxiety lately. So far lexapro and buspirone has been unhelpful. My mind just keeps racing from one thing to another that I have to worry about and I can’t keep myself in the “present.”
Sometimes I don’t even know why I’m anxious. I just am.

Apparently I’m lying about why I didn’t like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and am full of shit because while I said I liked the world and the story, heavy reaction-based mechanics like the dodge and parry system isn’t what I want out of a turn-based game.

If Americans really do love democracy so much, why do they spend 40+ hours a week in an authoritarian environment?
Unions are a small step to democratization of the workplace, but real democracy requires worker ownership, not C-suite dictatorships.

Selan of the Goopstone:
What is the Goopstone? Well it’s obviously the legendary stone that leaks a miraculous goop known to cure all ills. Members of the Goopstone family find their own “Goopstone” when the come of age to serve as their family regalia.

New #pf2e character for a Gatewalkers: Selan of the Goopstone is a Sevani halfling thaumaturge who may have gone a little too far into quackery after “traditional medicine” killed his older brother.
He went missing for 3 months after seeing a vision of his brother through an Aiudara.

So far pathfinder society has been disappointing. It seems to be mostly just mechanical. “I roll diplomacy,” “I roll occultism.” No description of what characters are actually saying or doing.
It’s Roll Playing not Role Playing.

So we’ve found the treasure trove for PFS games in Seattle apparently. Now signed up for 3 PFS games at level 1-4.
I don’t expect any character development opportunities during these but maybe we will find players who want to explore a campaign setting. #pf2e #pfs #ttrpg

Went to a D&D night at Meeples in West Seattle.
Pro:
+Not a far drive (potentially public transit-able)
+Fairly inexpensive
+Weekly
+Friendly people
Con:
-Since we are new there, we’re at the “kids table” (2/7 players were literal kids)
-The session is *chaos*
-It’s not pathfinder

GMs/DMs out there: do you have players that enjoy collaborative storytelling and dialogue with you in their PCs direction, even outside normal session times? Or do your players show up and mostly just improv quirky reactions to what you’ve prepared for them?

An Outlaws of Alkenstar PC hates the wealthy said he bets they have “martini fountains”. So as a side quest to bring a couple of villains some more spotlight, they will go to an office that has a pair of fountains from which you can fill martini glasses. See the gold clamshells. #pf2e #ttrpg

Not even a hint at what it does before you tap? Does it regrow hair? Improve anxiety? Reduce cholesterol? Increase your consumerism?
No clue! Tap to find out how this random drug could fix a problem you didn’t even know you had!
Should be illegal…

I haven’t worked out in nearly a year. I’ve gotten pretty flabby and overweight.
The anxiety is intense. But I just got my new prescription for buspirone in so maybe that will help.

This is why democrats can go shove their “vote blue no matter who” right up their ass. Did Sanders continue to run as an independent when he lost the primary? No? He endorsed Clinton, then Biden, then Harris? Oh.

I went to Vegas recently and two nights in a row I had a street performer (one of the women dressed ‘sexy’ trying to get photos and such) touch me without permission.
First, one put a handcuff on my hand. Husband fought them off while I had a slight panic attack.

Is it odd that when we schedule remote hang out nights with friends, we’d rather play a ttrpg than watch other people play a ttrpg?
