Bloody hell, One Shots only got released Wednesday evening and it's gone Electrum on DrivethruRPG.

It's probably already seen more reads than every science paper I wrote in the last decade combined. And the editors were really supportive and friendly all the way through, so any major depressive episodes I went through were just random instead of caused by someone.

It's, uh, this is uncharted territory for me. I may need some time to process the whole "valued as a creator" thing

Self promotion incoming:

I can finally say that I was asked by Cubicle 7 to write a collection of one-session adventures for Warhammer Fantasy Role Play, because One Shots of the Reikland is now out in the world, and even made it into the bestseller list on DriveThruRPG!

So I'm pretty damn delighted with myself at the moment...

I lost so many hours to this flash back in the day. I'm so glad Internet Archive is preserving the classics:

So far took down a gigantic stag that had been causing trouble, got absolutely shafted by the local town's bailiff with the bounty not even covering the cost of hunting the damn thing, and got more or less unwittingly involved in a coup where the bailiff was beheaded by the dwarf tavern owner she'd been making life hell for because he was from out of town.
So we did what any scumbag in the Forbidden Lands does and helped ourselves to the dead bailiff's lockbox ​

I decided to play a Wolfkin Druid, with more emphasis on the Wolfkin patron goddess the Huntress than the traditional "in harmony with all of nature" kind of druids. I nearly went for goblin/halfling because they have the most interesting take on both species as a whole that I've seen in I don't know how long. Halfling jolliness is all a facade and they're into some serious Desperate Housewives levels of shit-talking, backstabbing and locking away their elderly or non-conformist relatives.

Really enjoying Forbidden Lands after a friend started running a campaign 2 weeks ago. Same very simple Free League d6 system with a few small twists to enhance the feel of clinging to survival in hostile lands, and some great art and writing that captures the pulp fantasy feel like the better Conan stories. It's a great little game, very impressed.

Was bored, wrote a thing

My beautiful communist shark arrived. Would absolutely recommend @Hiraelle for good work done swiftly.

This is the perfect song for today:

Sure, the evil cartoon villain is defeated, but there's still a shitload of hard work ahead of everyone to dismantle the empire, there's a senate to reclaim and a legion of racist space cops to deal with on the road to maybe having an actual honest to god republic.

It's an important first step though, so even if just for tonight, Yub Nub!
