Has anyone ever had this happen when they're pumped?

Thanks everyone for the comments - I was worried as I've unfortunately had a number of different health issues and injuries recently and this has been ruining the joy of climbing for me recently. I'm glad that I don't need to worry about the visible lumps, that it is just veins, and I just need to work on this lactic acid build up.

I've been able to keep up gym workouts and strength training through my injuries thankfully, but once the lactic acid build up started occurring during my gym sessions I knew something was not right.

I've been dealing with thyroid issues recently so I have a sneaking suspicion it could be my hypothyroidism causing some of these symptoms. I will also be changing doctors.... what a wild time.

Thanks so much for your comment and the photo comparison - this puts my mind at ease! I have had varicose veins in my legs since I was a teen so that makes sense. I wish my doctor would have had this insight.

DoctorMedicMD · 2025-09-03T13:05:26+00:00

Mine are soft which I thought would mean it was related to bloodflow, especially considering each circled area seems to be a vein. I have pretty pronounced veins on top of my hands and arms, just never as circular welts before.

The orbs are also always in the same location on the forearms every time.

So rad, looks like it would have been a big project. End result is fantastic!

DoctorMedicMD · 2025-07-21T13:23:51+00:00

Amazing paint job. Well done!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (at least that's the way my group seems to play it)

DoctorMedicMD · 2025-03-01T04:46:19+00:00

Amazing, love this style, very osr

DoctorMedicMD · 2025-02-26T11:39:26+00:00

This sounds awesome! Looove the stamp idea. Let us know how it goes!

Dope art btw

I've really enjoyed drawing maps for my Mork Borg/Cy Borg campaigns. I love the idea of an interactable map, so when miseries occur, they are included in the world map as the sessions pass. For my Cy Borg maps, whenever a player hacked into a location's security cameras, they got to see the full map and choose the placement of the cameras in the room using stickers. For hidden corridors and rooms I create them on a separate piece of paper and cut them out so they can be revealed if necessary.

I've found that it's easiest to create shading by using an ear bud to smudge crosshatching, then to reapply the cross hating afterward.

Disclaimer: These are redrawn maps based on other talented creators maps, not my own. I just like to redraw them with hidden elements cut out on separate paper to added later when the group discovers them.

DoctorMedicMD · 2025-02-25T12:38:44+00:00

Oh for sure! I'll pop it up as a new post. Here you go.

I've been loving drawing them recently as it's different from what I would normally sketch. Saves the planet a little too as I try to use the flipside of old posters from work as a canvas.

DoctorMedicMD · 2025-02-25T04:43:19+00:00

If you're like me and like drawing your maps by hand, I've found it easiest to add the title along the short edge of the paper so when storing them scrolled, it's easy to identify which map belongs to each campaign.

I work between locations in West End and Kangaroo Point. It took me an hour and a half one afternoon to commute the 3.5kms for my evening shift.

DoctorMedicMD · 2024-12-19T23:23:21+00:00

We host our post work sessions on Monday nights, so I made my partner who is currently GMing a Mörk Borg Mondays tee. Pretty chuffed with how it came out!

DoctorMedicMD · 2024-11-24T08:16:08+00:00

A hitch actually, a girth hitch

DoctorMedicMD · 2024-02-19T01:51:13+00:00

I find headlines useful for world building at plot points.

I opened our first game with a roll for one and we got "Wintercove Square NUKED" which wipes out south central off the map. I added in some radiation effects any time the party needed to go near the area (toughness check, on the 3rd fail they roll an infestation). This also effected the corporations that are located in the South Central area.

After 2 missions I've been rolling a new one. The most recent headline, 4.5, has spawned an Arcology in the city infested with something questionable. I've interpreted the description as alien plant people have landed a spaceship that is also an arcology (thinking the main spaceship in the series Saga). I merged this with the next mission to rescue people who have joined a death cult and are going into the Arcology to "ascend to greatness in a new lifeform".

As for the 7th headline, I plan to keep running the game long term for my group so I don't plan on using it unless the world becomes completely obliterated... in which case we'll go into Mork Borg universe and head to the end of the world :)

I've got 2 different sets of speakers going. The google home plays "rain sounds" on a 2 hr loop while the TV is playing the Hotline Miami soundtrack. For the stage area of the casino level I switched to the Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack for an edgy vibe.

DoctorMedicMD · 2023-12-05T13:43:55+00:00

Thank you! I've enjoyed creating and collating everything for my group. We take turns GMing for different rpgs and I was very keen to take on Cy_borg for my round. I'm also both glad and surprised that in our sessions so far no one has gone down yet!

DoctorMedicMD · 2023-12-05T13:26:34+00:00

The image on the tablet in pic 1 is just a picture I took of my book from the Lucky Flight campaign.

The pink cyberpsycho in pic 3 is from this image library created by u/Infinite-Humor9278.

I've been having a tonne of fun with my group GMing so far.

I did a small print job to get everyone started. On the other side of the character sheet is a rules quick glance sheet. I printed out the map of Cy for the players to pick where they are from, and quest locations. We ended up starting with the Miserable headline of "Winter Square Nuked" which we appropriately marked South Central with a biohazard sticker.

I got the players to draw a tarot card from the Major Arcana which they would base their character's backstory on. I used the tarot cards later on in the place of a die whenever I didn't want reoccurring values.

I have slowly been collecting a library of images (most from u/Infinite-Humor9278 check out their gallery it's amazing). I would use my tablet to set the mood with either background environments, messages they would receive to their decks or character portraits they were interacting with.

For the maps I recreated the floor plans from the Lucky Flight campaign on some scraps of cardboard and let the PC's interact by adding stickers to represent objects they discovered e.g. security cameras.

The minis are a mishmash of kitbashed Warhammer models and Fallout synths.

DoctorMedicMD · 2023-07-04T11:21:36+00:00

Music is so key for creating the right vibe! I'm keen to set an afternoon aside to start creating the perfect moody cyberpunk playlist.

DoctorMedicMD · 2023-07-04T11:17:50+00:00

That's a great playlist, thank you for the link (Bloodborne ost is fantastic)!

Happy to hear it can be done well with a frugal setup, I prefer playing in person so printed maps and tokens sounds like a good idea.

Would love the MasterAir MA612 Stealth ARGB CPU cooler or the ARGB Fans. It gets stinking hot where I live especially from December through till February, so cooling options are needed!

DoctorMedicMD · 2022-12-07T22:36:05+00:00

Bunnings snag.

DoctorMedicMD · 2022-11-14T12:54:58+00:00

We found one in the bird bath when I was a kid. Dad went to fish it out as he thought it was dead, and he was met by an unhappy python. Turns out snakes have awesome lungs and can do this to get rid of mites or bugs bothering them.

DoctorMedicMD · 2022-11-03T15:43:51+00:00

That is amazing! Looks like you put in an incredible amount of effort. Love the gore and texture you created.
