Thought I'd share a PC I'm considering for future pathfinder games because the concept is really cool. This is Thicket, a conjuration wizard who summons magic beasts they've rescued from poachers. Her familiar was named Nimbus by my gf. And before you ask, yes their cards are a Wizards101 reference!

The nicest I've got so far has to be from @danfbispo.bsky.social who has been liking and sharing my work very consistently. It was around then he gave some glowing praise of my stories. I don't feel worthy of it but it was immensely encouraging.

So, my third short story in #Raven+Bear hints at this. In Caer y Môn we learn the knights of Branwen live on the same island as a cult of druids. This group tests those who intends to live on Dywyll, exiling those who fail. Please ask stuff!

I'm afraid #Raven+Bear doesn't really get too deep into the science of things. They're short stories so I don't often think too hard about it, but hey, maybe I'll do a parasitic monster soon. If you want my silly / political answer, I'd call England a parasitic entity.

Alrighty I have read some of The Infinite Sadness.
I'm going to give this a 4/5 ⭐!
Early chapters have flaws, however the quality improves greatly by Chapter 9. The characters were engaging with a clear perspective throughout. It's not for me personally, but I think people will have fun with this!

This is a really great video. it really shows how awful Jubilee is and about the fascists who've been on Jubilee and how they try to use the platform it gives them to try to make money gain notoriety and to spread their 'beliefs'
TODAY! 10 AM PST!
I dig into why Debate content doesn’t help anyone, and how Jubilee platformed at least six verified Nazis, and it only helps their bottom line to do so.

I believe this POV and perception has done more damage to fighting games on a design level than anything else. It creates a very homogeneous genre where if you’re not about big combo strings that create unskippable cutscenes out of rhythm based gameplay, then you won’t like fighting games.
