Needed to refill (and clean) my #fountainpen and decided to #doodle a bit instead of going to bed. You can see the old colour (red) on the far left, the new (black) one is coming through in the middle of the doodle. I’m always slightly annoyed when the pen continues to write in the old colour after me cleaning it. 😞

On other new: I need to find a nice reference picture for a friendly bat 🤣.

While going through my belongings, I found my attempts at writing Spencerian script with an oblique pen holder. That was 4 years ago, I think. Maybe I should give it another try 🤔.

I’m going through my belongings to decide what to keep and what not, and found those two memorabilia. While the shows were both great, what really makes me #thankful (and a bit teary at the moment) is that I went to both shows with a very good friend of mine. We met in 2000, I think, and were very slow to establish a #friendship, but is very strong and deep and has been so for 20 years or so.

@moonmoth und ich betraten das Erste Ungastliche Haus im Werwald, wo die Gäste in aller Ruhe die lokalen Pilzspezialitäten genossen, und hinterließen: einen traurigen Katzenmenschen, eine geprellte Eismagierin, einen sehr wütenden Koch mit extrem guten Messer-SKills, eine gepökelte Schnecke, einen versagenden Prinzen und die rauchende Ruine der Taverne, die uns beim Abritt den Sonnenuntergang ersetzte. Ein voller Erfolg dank der souveränen Leitung von @nisjasper. Vielen Dank euch beiden!

Apparently, Australia is plagued by mail-eating snails. They enter mailboxes and have a feast. A friend of an Australian pen-pal is creating postcards with such a snail, christened Mr Chow.

This is the #rpg themed card. The wizard of all mail-eaters.

Aus Gesprächen mit Freunden und Bekannten weiß ich, dass ich nicht alleine damit bin, #Realität und #Satire kaum noch unterscheiden zu können.

Passend dazu sagt der Wahl-O-Mat, dass ich die größte Übereinstimmung mit #DiePartei und den #Piraten habe. Wobei die Fragen (und fehlenden Erklärungen) des Wahl-O-Maten mir seltsam oberflächlich erschienen. Das Parlament behalten? Ja? Nennt sich Demokratie?

Kennt ihr eine geeignete Sammlung, vorzugsweise Deutsch, aber Englisch ist gar kein Problem, um meine Eisenlande mit entsprechenden Monstern und Aufgaben zu füllen?

Ich erinnere mich, dass irgendjemand hier deutsche Sagen ins Englische übersetzt und veröffentlicht. Das wäre ein Fundus, der bestimmt helfen würde.

Ansonsten ist alles recht, was geographisch zwischen Selkie und Baba Yaga liegt.

Boosts willkommen ;-)

Habt noch einen tollen Sonntag!

Liebe #pnpde Buble,

ich möchte im Urlaub Ironsworn mit einem Hexer-Setting (ihr wisst schon, Andrzej Sapkowski) spielen. Das Spiel anzupassen ist kein Problem, auch Dank der Gedanken von Shawn, die er netterweise auf der Vogelseite verewigt hat.

Was mir noch fehlt, ist ein Bestiarium und auf der Suche danach hat mein Google-Foo mich verlassen. Sapkowskis Bücher sind voll mit Figuren, „Monstern“ und Plots aus der europäischen Sagenwelt.

The beautiful #dice I bought from @MightyMightyDice rolled a double ten on the first critical roll I used them for. Unfortunately, I needed to roll at least one die under a ten. So my Elegy (that’s an Iron Vow in #Ironsworn) ended in disaster. ¯(ツ)/¯

Do you ever feel the need to just ignore a roll? I mean, I didn’t, and that turned out great story wise. But I wanted to ignore that role so much … 😂

Questions for characters in #ttrpg and #soloRPG, adapted from Patrick Stewart’s autobiography: "Making it so".

What does the character want?

What does my character need?

What does my character say about himself?

What do other characters say about my character when he is present?

What do other characters say about my character when he is absent?

What is true in the play?

What is false in the play?

"I have done some touches to my nonsense fairy language - to its improvement.

I often long to work at it and don't let myself 'cause though I love it so it does seem such a mad hobby!"

-- A 24 years old J.R.R. #Tolkien in a letter to his young lady, Edith Bratt, 2 March 1916.

Imagine he would have given up his #passion imagine he wouldn't have followed his #dreams.
