The Gaming Den

Works for any eye color if you're into them, I reckon. But drowning in brown doesn't conjure the same imagery.

Cool, what kind of art you gonna make Sorry I was slow to notice this. I got called back into work about a week after my last post there so art projects got derailed, of course. Only thing I completed was a birthday drawing for a coworker friend who is a big Beauty and the Beast fan. This was it st...

They go to Ravenloft.

I was alternating between light goatee and clean shaven but the stubble gets annoying with my fabric mask on all day so trying to remain shaven.

I’ve been expecting this for a while. GenCon is a big deal for downtown Indy. It’s like our Black Friday when much of the venues get into the black for the rest of the year.

(this has been one of the longest wikipedia pages I've read, well, haven't read it all yet - Clocked in at 45 pages when I printed as pdf)

If you need to keep the peace you can fabricate a story to the in-laws about having tested positive and having a mild-yet-contagious case that you don't want to spread. Nah, the closest to a lie I've been willing to run was that we didn't just tell them a few weeks ago that we weren't going, becaus...

My Missourah in-laws had a June Florida vacation planned up in the panhandle at a rental before all this happened. As a whole they've been pretty cavalier about social distancing and the virus in general. My wife and I were hoping that Florida would stay closed and the family would come around that ...

Another vote for Magical Industries.

Ok, allegedly, it was real, and they took it down pretty much immediately. Admittedly, I can not be certain. But it's quite believable some ad agency put this out and the campaign approved it. https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/23/21233006/joe-biden-trump-fake-ad-campaign-hillary-clinton-twitter-tumbl...

Setting specific but I’d prefer rather than aping actual insanities to instead have stuff like exposure to mythos make it so you are more easily able to see the otherworldly elements. So you get what anyone else would call hallucinations but they are actually astral echoes or something. Think like i...

I'm gonna assume 'books' is slang for facebook pages, since we know that's where he gets his information from.

I, erik, (the user of gaming den account, "erik"), published, in April 2020, a post about Zak Smith (the user of gaming den account "shitmuffin", pants shitter, apparent rapist, slapp abuser, and general douchebag attention whore asshole) claiming he may masturbate while thinking...

It wouldn't surprise me if there was a job at Twitter that consisted of constantly monitoring the president's data to make sure that it didn't get hijacked for long. I cannot believe that someone other than Trump hasn't used it to manipulate markets or try to start a war yet. His has to be the most ...

Trump is basically using these briefings as substitute rallies where he can get tons of free media and waste everyone's time. It's criminal what a narcissistic fuck-up he is. I derailed a discord channel yesterday because someone said 2016 was lose-lose and that Hillary wouldn't be doing any better....

100 Humans seems reminiscent of Brain Games (which is a more kid-oriented version of demonstrating how people work). I'd imagine you've already seen it but if not then Gio and you would likely dig it as well.

Giovanni and I are having a good time watching 100 Humans on Netflix. It's a semi-scientific exploration of human behavior. Episode 4 is on bias, and even though you can't necessarily draw a scientific conclusion from 100 people, it's still an eye-opening episode. Heh. I wasn't expecting I might ha...

And apparently Dr Fauci has been sidelined so that Trump can run 2 hour campaign rallies from a White House briefing room uninterrupted by contradicting facts. FFS.

[edit: ah, looks like he was allowed to speak today. Guess Trump was just testing the waters]

The only thing you touch at self-checkout other than single use bags is poking the touch screen a couple times, which is a communal doorknob sure, but I had sanitizer in my pocket so I got a good slathering on immediately after that. I try to just touch those things with my fingernail. Usually that ...

I checked out whether shopping was viable this past weekend, parking lot was much less busy than usual so figured that was a good sign and ventured forth. Was able to shop without getting too close to people and self-checkout. Only about half the stuff on my list was in stock, but it was enough. I s...

I just used that image as my pictoresponse to a question about future gatherings on my in-person gaming group message.

The notion being that you can trade in dice so 4 dice can automatically succeed at DC needing 2 hits. 6 dice automatically can succeed at DC needing 3 hits. that sounds kind of terrible. At TN 4+, you get 4+ hits on 6 dice just 34.4% of the time - about one in three. If you can 'take ten' on a 3 hi...

I probably needed a better thesaurus when writing it. A difficulty 5 task is something that you'd need items to boost you into being able to expect to accomplish it, or be legendary to even have a hope of succeeding (it's about 10.94%).
