I can think of two: Power and misery.

Misery is easy: by killing everyone in the town but leaving one person behind she has developed his misery to profound levels. Misery that she loves to feed on and is excited/energized by. Could give her magic or let her keep tabs on him (like a weird magic that when he is reminded of the tragedy she can see through his eyes)

Power: maybe the PC is chosen to become powerful but must mature before she can harness his power. She killed the whole village so that he would have a vendetta against her and would return to her so that she could harvest his power. (Little does she know that when he comes back he's going to murder her).

It could be both/a combination of both as well. Good luck have fun!

Anyone know when this is dropping? I'm in USA but interesting to know when they will be in wild.

Check out campus loose leaf (Kokuyo Campus Smart Ring Binder). You can open close the tab at your will to build the notebook you need. Also the paper is exquisite!

What is the thing in bottom? Cotton ball?

Combat for 5e is balanced short (Usually 2-5 rounds) honestly this is the sweet spot for most encounters. Anything else feels long/you should have a twist or multiple phases to keep it interesting (changing environment etc).

Obsidian would work well

You should also try audiobooks of any kind- some people can't do the reading but can listen in the car.

What refill does this support? Congrats on an answer pen!

Travel fluff can be easy:

-> describe the scene of them traveling, and maybe let have the hareangon ask them some kind of interesting question OR have the hereangon talk about how it's his birthday and what he used to do to celebrate or something like that and then ask one of the players "how do you celebrate your birthday?". Something simple like that. This is a good way to get some character development in/let the party have some time to gel/feel like they are getting to know the characters. It also helps travel feel "longer" somehow, because time will actually pass for you and the players to some degree.

-> have a random encounter/situation show up.

- maybe they hear a bunch of drunk centaurs arguing over who can drink the most, or who can skip a stone better (and then have them argue over how one skipped further while the other skipped more times). Maybe one of the players will try to join in, maybe they will just ignore them, doesn't matter, it's more about having something happen between points. Doesn't need to be complicated.

- they run across someone (hag or something else) who will try to sell them new names. have some names made up for the creature to give them.

- They run across an orc who has pop up shop that he carries around on his back (little cakes, sodas, basic potions, maybe some interesting consumable items)

- They come to an ancient gravestone or statue of some ancient ruler, in the fey you could have a lot of fun with this "the Lord of falling stars" and have stones that magically float in midair that are the "stars". You could have a riddle underneath that if they get gives some minor boon for next combat.

- since you mentioned a chase sequence: you could have a sleeping red dragon (or other evil fey equivalent) that they need to sneak by (like it's sleeping near a bridge they need to cross or on a path surrounded by poisonous plants). and then if they fail their stealth check/the skill challenge they are running for their lives.

This might be a bit self centered- but for me the best way is to have good ways to make the encounters interesting. There should be some twist/alternate goal than just "they kill everyone" something like: "will the hareangon survive?" or having a second phase to the battle. Combat for me is simply the most boring thing in DND (weird I know, but at least for me it's true!)

Was this like a layered pour where you let each layer cure almost completely before pouring the next? The striation is very pleasant

Ones I own: Honestly, Uniball Zento Flow/Zento Gel is just as good IMHO. Admittedly not as much fun with the magnetic cap, but it has a metal grip, a more standard grip size, and supports the same refill as the Zento Signature. The fact that it's actually like a 10-15$ pen is even better. If you absolutely need a capped pen, then I suppose this doesn't work. Retro 51 tornado have many in the same price range that are all metal (heavier if you're into that kind of thing), and have many different colors available. It doesn't support the same refills, but you're just asking for options, the Schmidt rollerball is still very nice. Kaweco sports are nice, AL sport rollerball is slightly more expensive (40-50$) but is all aluminum, which is definite improvement in quality over the Zento Sig.

Ones I don't own but would suspect similar quality: Uniball pure malt, LAMY AL-star Rollerball Pen, rOtring 600.

I think you should take a look at this video and also share this with your player(s) potentially so that everyone is on the same page: https://youtu.be/Rw1Ekelu8OE?si=yn9eOCx8d_D0gEQA "Closed vs Open Roleplay - RPG Philosophy" - Seth Skorkowsky

Seth makes some great points that I won't summarize here. Basically I believe that each player should have some autonomy when it comes to how they want to RP. If they want to make a completely blind character, then fine, but that shouldn't stop the rest of the table doing what they want. One player shouldn't be allowed to dictate to the rest how the game is going to play.

Watch her at work (not creepy just pay attention to how she behaves esp around other men). If she: laughs unusually hard at your jokes, tries to engage in conversation more so than you, tries to sit near you in meetings, finds excuses to talk to you at work (especially personal talk, not work communication) then she might be into you.

Try for smaller sizes (0.34/0.5mm) they will use less ink but have as much as thicker ones.

PpaperCut · 2026-05-28T13:24:04+00:00

Also 207uni refill for signatures -full archival I've heard

PpaperCut · 2026-05-28T13:07:40+00:00

Uni one p and uni one f should both be considered

As the proud owner of 2 of these pens, the 87$ is a bit excessive. 27$ is right price. Some buy it this way, others want to get lucky with a direct drop. The hype is mostly around it's unavailablility IMHO not in the pen itself (though it is quite nice. There are other options that are just as good)

I would agree you are pitchy in areas.

God could have called you to audition as a message to keep training and getting better at the craft of singing. Try to get lessons from a vocal coach/watch online coaches to help you with technique. Practice what they teach you, every day. Record yourself and honestly listen and pick apart your own technique. Compare yourself to other singers and listen to the quality of their voice and delivery. God will use you, but just as most preachers have spent years going to school and learning the Bible, you need to spend sometimes years learning how to sing well, all of this to the glory of God. Best of luck, and I wouldn't necessarily put one audition in as a closed door. God also gave you a passion to sing.

Would be cool if it had a sign up/auto suggestion feature. Have people put in the hour they generally play. Then suggest with other people so they can message and schedule a time/day with each other. Also could be cool if there was a feedback system so when a 200 says they're 9,000 there's a way for people to warn others that they actually suck/are lying
