Reposting my pinned #introduction . Been on masto for about 2 years or so, found myself tooting most about tabletop stuff so here I am.

I am forever jumping from one thing to another so dont expect much in the way of consistency from me.

Currently working on:
Improving my skills in Blender 3d
(See my thingiverse link in my profile)
Various mini printing and painting projects
Writing short spec fic stories

Me: "I abhor violence and tyranny"

Me, while clearing the patio with a weed burner: " Aha yes, all who oppose me will wither and burn. See the ashen fields of my wrath!"

No. No! Noooooooooo!

Hexxat has been the worst. It's in character for her at least, but she's so useless as a party member that despite how interesting I found her quest, after the boss kicked my ass a couple of times she got killed by a troll and I left her there lmao.

Also the spirits that want the tomb opened makes sense， but them wanting the tomb opened and then attacking me for opening it, does not, not the way it's presented anyway...

I get the urgency of characters who joined you for a particular quest wanting to leave if you don't engage with their quests but the way its implemented is infuriating.
Like Minsc nagging you about some random quest all the time is a pain, though at least he doesn't threaten to leave over it.

But anyone nagging me *in the middle of another quest* is ridiculous. "Hey Faun, I know one of your old friends has been cursed and keeps dying, but I'm gonna bounce if you don't help me".

There is a new child in my home. Aaaaahhhhhhh!

I have a child. Ahhhhhhhhh!

The lurking fear whenever I research crabs: Most crabs are very cool but every image I find has like a 1/20 chance of triggering my arachnophobia and making me cry

I need to go to the doctor to get some meds changed because of side effects

But the side effects are preventing me going

And so the cycle continues ♻️

Deliberately avoiding calling it a game because while there are a few minor puzzles, the emphasis for me is more on interaction and choosing where the story takes you/you take the story.

You can 'complete' it v quickly, but my hope is that people will want to explore and find out whats happening and talk to people etc

Finished the first NPC of my interactive fiction project

Well as always there's probably some obvious thing I've missed but that's a beta reader problem lmao
