California - Because it needs its own thread

Looking like year two of a super strong wet period in California. We needed it bad and are well through to the other side. A bunch of dry lakes woke up! Wetlands and birds all over in the interior! It's been amazing to ramble around the State this year. There were park signs posted from the north to...

Breasts

I guess I have a thing for left handed, yogi, tech workers. Ex-wife and new girlfriend (of a year) both fit this mold. But, the the ex had A's and the girlfriend has B/Cs depending on the bras. Which has been glorious. How can you not wake up in the morning next to those things and not want to play ...

Baldur's Gate 3

Haven't been able to play for a few weeks because of travel. But some updates from my last session. 1) My half orc Paladin lady has banged two of my male companions (Halsen/Gale) (turned down Astarion, that freak) 2) "Won" the game in the second act. Via exploding Gale and destroying half ...

California - Because it needs its own thread

SF already did this, the year I arrived in the Bay Area, for the Super Bowl. It just costs money. Doing this permanently would be be like cleaning your car everyday instead of on date night :lol:

Baldur's Gate 3

I also ended up killing a potential party member as i thought the quest i was on was just like any other. I killed someone i thought was bad, and some (unfortunate dice rolls) this member is a huge part of the story if you want them to be, but she is gone forever in my game now. Ha - I know who you...

Baldur's Gate 3

There are just so many choices - and they effect the game, how factions treat you, who survives from Chapter to Chapter. I sometimes feel bad when I want to make a choice but can't because I can't seem to hit an ability check so I reload. Other times I just go with the roll. Except for the one time ...

Catching up on this game properly after getting distracted on some other games and projects. It's SOOOO good. I'm level 5, don't want to leave act 1 yet and picking every fight in the underdark I can. Got a sweet ring to hopefully not make me go full tadpole.

Scavengers Reign

What's the premise? A cargo freighter crashes on an alien planet and the surviving crew members are scattered across a pretty hostile environment. The show follows the small groups of survivors attempting to make it against the animals, plants, and other things on the planet. The show does a good j...

Took a gamble on this and found it to be an excellent adult animated science fiction show on Max. The first full season (12 eps) is out and it's very, very good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWQH8cMpWTU&ab_channel=Max The visuals and implied evolution and interactions of all the alien plants ...

Annihilation (2018)

Read that The Shimmer is symbolic of cheating in your marriage. It rewrites the DNA of your entire life. Anyone read the book? What did the rest of the world think when the Shimmer was growing in North Carolina? I think it was classified and controlled, as a big swathe of it was a "keep-out da...

Want to play Dungeons and Dragons 5E?

TS Tazly turns to Ivan to create a pregnant pause before he speaks: "If the master of this castle or someone in his stead is still able to make deals. We offer this one. Give us the choice of a magic item each from the vaults of Ravenloft, allow the Vistani to take us off the Plane, I was thin...

Want to play Dungeons and Dragons 5E?

TS I tell Ivan that "If I were a master vampire, I'd probably live up in a tower, we should ascend the stairs and look for signs of refined style and taste, if a bit old and musty, as that was my take on owner of this castle when he was here." feeling anxious Tazly pulls out the one-use M...

Curiosity got the best of me so I had the AI image add-on make an illustration for the first story, as well. It struggled but this was the best:

The images are big and bold and nice for reference but they are pretty rough around the edges past the surface level.

It did a pretty good job of illustrating the Strahd scene, too:

Want to play Dungeons and Dragons 5E?

It's a funny DM - it's actually great at role playing and will respond better to you if you roleplay to it - it will let you bypass all kinds of problems - but then it can't remember how much gold you got from 3 events ago ago unless you remind it how to figure that out. And then if it can't remembe...

You just ask it to play DND 5e. Tell it you want to be a player and then a campaign setting start from scratch there. It'll do the rest for you. If you know more about the game you can put a lot more conditions on, ask for stuff. After the really successfully Strahd sessions before ( paused , not wo...

Me: while Strahd has his back turned, unleash the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind to cast Sunlight, and Ivan and I attempt to push him in the portal.

Chat GPT 4.0 is way a better DM but Strahd's not this much of a sucker: He was only a little suspicious when I was asking for the location of a major magical artifact that is very deadly to him :lol: Or maybe it's a trap because he's sending me on a quest first before he gives me the location!
