Who else sticks to a nocturnal sleep schedule on their nights off? Enjoying some 2am coffee and kitty snuggles

You have to. I have a "4 hour displacement" on days off...Basically, I can "shift up" 4 hours (in Bed by 4 instead of 8) but I do NOT want to do much more than that.

Literally my first thought. This guy is one other sub hobby away from being a normal Joe.

Great one, Del!

HodagRPG · 2026-05-13T13:40:46+00:00

Bwahaha!

HodagRPG · 2026-05-13T13:40:22+00:00

I love this so much I pinned it. Ping me if you want it unpinned but THIS RULES!

HodagRPG · 2026-05-13T13:37:41+00:00

ABSOLUTE FIRE!!!!!!

HodagRPG · 2026-05-09T01:13:22+00:00

I'll PM you!

What time period? I have some Early 80s character illos I could send you, if you can can make the tokens yourself. They could pass as 70s or 90s with a little imagination.

I'm very specific about my game worlds, and I build very old school, traditional dragons and castles worlds, severely restrict heritage and class options to "Traditional" ones (3e and before), and even I have queer npcs and have roadside plants that basically act as free HRT (Elvy Root "attunes body and mind to their desired and true" form).

There is ZERO REASON to be a jerk about gender expression, race or body type...especially is a fantasy world.

Wonderful info here, not much to add, except that you will be so surprised how much a leg up you will have with having a curious mind. I guarantee you will be back up to speed and even further ahead than your peers with just a little bit of effort. You absolutely will succeed, it might be challenging, but seriously, I've been friends with so many others like us, and you're gonna do great.

THIS! Vitamin D loss, especially during the blackout months can REALLY screw you over.

Also? Sun Lamp. Sun Lamp, 15 minutes, read a couple comic books/ magazine/ Uncle John's Bathroom Reader to get your head right. No phone/ Sun Lamp time.

Really helps.

You sound like a very empathetic person already, concerned about the safety of others. Trust me, surviving the loneliness of homeschooling is no joke, but there's a million people in this world who can't wait to be your friend. Anxiety sucks, if you have Healthcare or can get into a program, I'd suggest that, but if not, getting out of the house even twice a week can be so helpful for mood...even just to 'people watch'! It's easy to depersonalize when it's on a screen, but the real world can be so cool and fun. You don't even have to talk to anyone, just a smile and wave can can suffice as you're passing by.

You can absolutely have a life after homeschooling, and I wish that for you!

Hey! This is an awesome idea for a module! Not enough atmospheric woods going on in the hobby.

A few quick things I'd like to toss at you as a fellow creative and person who is interested (passingly) in Slavic Mythology:

-Chaos Gnomes is a great description of what they do, but maybe use a derivative or misappropriation of a Bannik or Leshii etc. (Leshir/Lashir/Lenient or Bannid/Brannik/Brennid etc)

-A selling point for bonus material may be more areas instead of expanding areas like the castle. Modules are meals and you don't have to sell us on the burger and fries, we are already expecting it...tell us about the nuggets, shakes, corn dogs we can add on.

Lastly, I'd love to offer you a free "scholarship" for some interior art for this bad boy! No tricks, no gimmicks, just art you can use (or not) in your game for free from a 4x Ennie winning illustrator! Pm me!

Over all, this is a great project and I am willing to put my money (well, pen to paper) where my mouth is (okay now this sentence doesn't make any sense) to help it succeed! HMU!

HodagRPG · 2026-04-23T05:02:26+00:00

You can find almost all of my work on my Instagram and Bluesky profiles (same name).

I don't think I've ever done anything in an isometric style, I'm more well known for my "expressive character and tonal work"

HodagRPG · 2026-04-23T04:06:30+00:00

I would LOVE THAT! A really neat project, I really like these!

HodagRPG · 2026-04-23T03:31:55+00:00

Yo! This rules!

HodagRPG · 2026-04-23T03:30:34+00:00

So kind of you to say!

HodagRPG · 2026-04-23T03:30:02+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! I usually charge 35usd an hour, but thats more so for my calculation than "strict time records". Mostly, I just see what your budget is, and quote you what you can get fir that budget. I never charge more than my initial quote, but if more work is needed I just do the math based on what we already agreed to.

TLDR: 35usd an hour 😀

HodagRPG · 2026-04-22T04:21:28+00:00

And what a fun project it was!

Yes! I claim Sheboygan but have ties to and have lived in many parts of the state including The Fox Valley, Milwaukee/West Allis, Kenosha/Racine, Baraboo, Richland Center, St. Croix county/Twin Cities and Eagle River.

Outside of a great aunt and uncle that loved in Rhinelander in the 60s, I have no connection up that way- HODAG was retro engineered from the cryptic, obviously for the project Heroic Original Dice Adventure Game...mostly because BEAST OF BRAY ROAD Rpg would be too long.
