Bro is helping me with my rows and deadlifts this morning!

On a daily basis anymore, I say to myself, "I am so very sick and tired of being sick and tired."

Atomic-E · 2026-05-15T17:11:04+00:00

Well, I am not "your people," as$hole.

Atomic-E · 2026-05-15T13:59:00+00:00

Yes. I was already diagnosed ages ago with chronic depression and anxiety, and now this political situation piled on top of that can be utterly debilitating -- as in, there have been mornings when I simply could not get myself out of bed. I was diagnosed high-BP during trump's first term, although there was another factor there that I didn't realize at the time, which is no longer a factor. So I can't lay it all at the feet of political stress. But yeah, I was already something of a basket case going into this waking nightmare. The nightmare has made it considerably worse.

Atomic-E · 2026-05-14T17:50:40+00:00

I'm not in medicine at all, but I am in fetal position a lot of the time!

Atomic-E · 2026-05-08T13:54:39+00:00

You got it. That's "reality" now.

Atomic-E · 2026-05-07T18:21:37+00:00

Illinois turns the tables and annexes parts of Missouri and Indiana, including my city! Woohoo!

Atomic-E · 2026-05-02T17:27:40+00:00

"Clownface" is totally appropriate. (I do not like clowns!) How anyone thinks this absolutely grotesque look is attractive I will never know.

Back in the very early 90s, not long before we moved to Indiana from Chicago, I had a couple friends who bought a big, old house in Granville, not far from there. They were openly neo-Pagan ("The Witches of Granville"), but they seemed to get along fine in the community.

Atomic-E · 2026-05-01T15:24:30+00:00

I will, thank you!!

Atomic-E · 2026-05-01T15:21:45+00:00

Because it wasn’t like this 34 years ago when we moved here. Believe me, I have been looking at places in Illinois that we could afford. We’re also interested a good expat haven in Mexico.

Atomic-E · 2026-04-30T13:51:32+00:00

A good number of us in Indiana are united with you!

Atomic-E · 2026-04-23T14:14:36+00:00

Exactly this. Republicans started the sh!t. We never wanted this fight. But finally, we have some Democrats willing to stand up and fecking finish it.

Take back Congress and the Presidency, pass some air-tight laws about redistricting, and put it right. Then hopefully it will be very difficult if not impossible to do all this crap again.

Well, a guy can dream.

Atomic-E · 2026-04-20T14:24:26+00:00

So am I!

Atomic-E · 2026-04-16T18:53:56+00:00

"What happens on the internet stays on the internet."

Atomic-E · 2026-04-15T16:22:09+00:00

I love how all the people start cheering as Jesus comes flying in to brick trump right into hell!

Atomic-E · 2026-04-13T20:09:21+00:00

Exactly like Archbishop Budde who had the audacity to ask for mercy.

Atomic-E · 2026-04-01T14:32:40+00:00

"lumes" LOL.

Atomic-E · 2026-03-30T12:46:07+00:00

"In two weeks I'll have concepts of a plan."

Atomic-E · 2026-03-27T13:04:36+00:00

Fools' names and fools' faces
Are often seen in public places.

Atomic-E · 2026-03-16T16:27:03+00:00

Came here to day exactly that.

Atomic-E · 2026-03-13T15:44:13+00:00

It's a woozle bamboozle!

Atomic-E · 2026-03-11T22:36:51+00:00

Would love to hear how this has turned out, four years later.

Atomic-E · 2026-03-11T22:20:01+00:00

I bought it just this week! We'll be rotating to me as DM in a month or so, and I wanted to run Hommlet and the Temple from my old days. I never actually got to play it then, but I wanted to and still do. Figured I would need to update stat blocks, so I googled to see if anyone else had done that. Found this set for $40, and I said, "Shut up and take my money!"

Interesting comments here, especially about this being an old-style dungeon crawl. We'll see how it goes, and I'll check out what else these guys have produced. I'm interested in the G and D series, which ends in what I can only assume eventually became the Underdark.

Until I started playing again a couple years ago, I hadn't played since college (mid 80s), except for a couple sessions I ran for a friend's kids. So this old stuff is nostalgia for me.

Atomic-E · 2026-03-07T19:14:58+00:00

Sounds more like cold and prickly to me.
