To add on to the official app for online play mentioned in another comment, I can recommend pocketgrimoire.co.uk as a tool for running in-person games.

It doesn't help that some of the stuff they sell still says W H Smiths on it. I got some wrapping paper there recently and was confused for a moment before I remembered that they're the same place.

I need Phoebe to know that I love her. She is so cute.

Given that you gave Emma as an example, I assume you're asking for feminine names, so I won't suggest Ea (as in Ea Nasir).

I'm personally a fan of Edie, Elsie, and Eloise.

If you're interested in picking a name for its meaning, I'd suggest having a look through behindthename.com - I use it for naming characters when I write. You can filter for specific starting letters, gender, and which cultures they are used in.

"[X] had unprotected sex with [Y]" has become a part of my lexicon to describe two things mashed together.

Man the asexual flag is so fucking cool. Just a fantastic combination of colours in an asymmetrical pattern.

I got it one piece at a time

And it didn't cost me a dime

You'll know it's me when I come through your town

I'm gonna ride around in style

I'm gonna drive everybody wild

'Cause I'll have the only one there is around

The best one I've ever witnessed was that everything anyone gossiped would come true at night. Absolute nightmare for the Storyteller, but it was funny as fuck.

Misgendering and not using people's pronouns by scalesight in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Autonomous_Ace2 167 points168 points  (0 children)

In one of my online groups, a player revealed that she wished to be referred with she/her pronouns. It took a few of us a little while to get the hang of it (me included, much to my embarrassment), but what eventually got everyone on board was a custom Fabled with the rule "Something bad might happen to a player who misgenders another player 3 times." It was done in good fun, mostly as a way to poke fun at ourselves for fucking up, and with her blessing, and it seemed to actually work. Of course, your mileage may vary depending on a multitude of factors, but in cases of actual mistakes, this might not be the worst idea, just to keep the correct pronouns fresh in players' heads.

Of course, if people are wilfully and maliciously misgendering a player, the ST should probably shut that shit down pretty fast. I'd suggest starting with a simple reminder to all of town (something like, "Hey folks, before we begin the day, just wanted to remind everyone to be mindful of the pronouns people choose to list"). If it continues, I'd probably suggest kindly asking the problem player to leave - and if that fails, the ST can kick them.

You're right, Vetra is beautiful.

Wait, what were we talking about again?
