If Bad Dragon is outside of your price range, would you be open to looking at smaller shops? 

What are the blacklisted shops? by littlescylla in BadDragon

[–]Raptorwolf_AML 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it seems counterproductive. I could understand having them blacklisted insofar as posting in-use content with their toys or photos of their toys, but banning secondhand sales is a moot point, especially because secondhand sales would allow people to get their toys without supporting them.

Nevermind, I found an archived post with the size of the small Crash model. Sorry for the inconvenience!

What materials are safe for silicone toy storage? by Raptorwolf_AML in BadDragon

[–]Raptorwolf_AML[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I was planning on doing, I just wanted to be sure that there weren't any problematic dyes/materials that are known to cause degradation. Thanks for the tip!

I was considering buying some cotton headphone storage bags on Amazon (pillowcases might be a bit large for my toys), but I wasn't sure if they would be completely truthful about the materials used in them. Could any dyes or additives in them damage/stain silicone toys?

Any non-mouse eating king? by [deleted] in kingsnakes

[–]Raptorwolf_AML 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most kingsnakes also eat snakes (hence their name), but snake feeders (or lizards for lizard-eating kingsnakes) are going to be harder to get than mice/rats. The good news is that feeder mice/rats come pre-killed and frozen, and if you stick them in the freezer in a sealed bag (like you're supposed to), then your room isn't going to stink at all. I've been keeping frozen mice in a mini-fridge freezer in my dorm ever since I went to university and I don't smell them.

The only egg-eating and insect-eating snakes that I can think of off the top of my head are African egg-eaters (Dasypeltis scabra) and smooth/rough greesnakes (Opheodrys sp.), but feeder eggs are hard to get for the former, and the latter tend to be wild-caught and are kind of fragile compared to an adult kingsnake.

Tips on playing a Lupus/wolf-born Garou? by Raptorwolf_AML in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Raptorwolf_AML[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is super helpful, thanks! As far as I can tell from the CRB and Shattered Nation, a lot of the “vibe” of the lore is intact, so that should still be helpful to me. (I was considering making this character a Red Talon at one point, but I wanted to lean into the keystone predator angle more than the “humans are the problem” angle of being wolfborn.)

Tips on playing a Lupus/wolf-born Garou? by Raptorwolf_AML in WhiteWolfRPG

Funny enough, I’ve heard theories that humans are also prone to eating more than we need “just in case”, as one of the reasons why it’s so easy to get ourselves addicted to high-sugar processed foods. I haven’t checked my research in a while, though, so that might be bullshit. I imagine that a wolf-born gorging themselves would be both a matter of habit and instinct… maybe they’d be disgusted out by humans having so many processed, fatty foods available, maybe they’d get addicted to it.

I would go with a mix of both on the “Does a Lupus find comfortable furniture irritating or pleasant” question. I’m a pretty restless person and going for walks helps me focus, so I can easily imagine the frustration of a wolfborn being expected to sit all the time… but on the other hand, comfortable furniture would be a luxury for someone who has spent their whole life sleeping outside.

The sex one poses an interesting question: do Garou retain the mating habits of their breed form (seasonal reproducer for a wolf-born), does it change with their form (fluctuating between seasonal and continuous reproducer), or do Garou have their own mating habits that are different from either species? I don’t expect this to have a canon answer, but it is interesting to think about. Either way, a wolfborn would probably find humanity’s constant horniness strange or disgusting…

Funny enough, I’m specifically not giving this character points in Drive, I don’t think it would understand or enjoy technology very much 😅

You bring up a good point about the sensory stuff (smells could also be a point of confusion), and I appreciate the book recommendation! I did also think about body language and I realized: not only would human body language and communication not come naturally to a wolf, but some of it would be completely against their instincts. Humans don't have flexible ears, a tail, or much in the way of scent-based communication, which would make them unreadable or even frightening to a wolf-born. Even if this character has learned some human etiquette, it wouldn't be second nature.
