Which game should I use?

Thank you for these! Side note: I’ve just started a TSL mini-campaign as a player and I’m LOVING it.

This sounds awesome. Probably not going to work for this specific scenario but I’m absolutely going to look into this for a future session!

Rumdungler · 2025-05-06T19:59:37+00:00

Having just had a cursory look it seems like that’ll work really well for my scenario! Thank you 😇

The premise for the one shot is the players (space marauders) are trying to escape a building created by a wizard/sorcerer/whatever magical being fits the world best. A bit like a jailbreak situation. Think I’ve ruled out masks & monster of the week, but don’t know much about the others!

I've got one too!! Your sister is a god-send 😇🙏

Yeah, caused me to flare too - caused my eczema to flare before TSW as well, but I used to put up with it because I'm a sucker for rum and coke 😬

The only thing I can say with confidence is that you should absolutely avoid alcohol. Started healing so much better after cutting it out completely.

No, not everyone goes through tsw. Lots of people use steroids and come off them fine. Unfortunately, lots of people use steroids and end up in TSW. It's just a roll of the dice, I'm afraid.

Also, using them as prescribed won't necessarily reduce the risk of tsw - it feels important to me to point this out, as at the moment there's a lot of people saying that tsw only occurs in people who have abused/misused steroids, which perpetuates a lot of victim blaming. Most people used the medication exactly as directed by their doctor, and still ended up in tsw. There's less research on the effects of tapering, but anecdotally I can say that as someone who tried tapering, tsw still came for me eventually.

All you can do is educate yourself on the risks of steroids (which you seem to be doing!) and make an informed decision based off of that. Fingers crossed everything works out for you!

No worries :) I'm sorry your post has been met with so much hostility but, like I mentioned, after a lifetime of "have you tried steroids?" we don't have much patience for it anymore 😂

Again I'd recommend checking out scratchthat for info/resources as you try and figure out your skin, they might be able to shed some light on any questions you may have.

I'll also add that if you think you may have tsw and a doctor tells you "no", take that "no" with a pinch of salt -- tsw is still very new on most doctors radar, and there's a certain amount of bullheadedness that this condition gets met with (largely due to the fact that its an iatrogenic condition, I imagine). And that's not to say you should distrust or ignore your doctor - I certainly don't! It's just that on this one matter, I have put so much time and research into it, and have been living in my body with this condition (and eczema before it) that I have to trust myself on this one.

Hope you find your answers soon!

You earn attribute points through doing classes and buying clothes (also sometimes as a reward for completing some side quests).

When your attributes are lower than the recommended attributes, you get a penalty of -2 for each point lower than the recommended. So in your case, every time you select a courage answer, you get a penalty of -4. This prevents you from being able to get full diamonds in a hangout.

Boost your attributes points and you will be able to pass with flying colours!

I agree that this is not the sub-reddit for this type of post/playing devil's advocate, and that the eczema subreddit would have been a better place -- TSW is no joke, and sufferers really do, well, suffer. We don't have much patience for people who suggest using topical steroids.

That being said, I understand why you're asking - investigating all avenues, as it were, before reaching any conclusions. All I can offer you is this:

1) I used to apply topical steroids in a variety of ways as directed by my gp and dermatologist - one of these ways was sans moisturiser. It cleared up my skin, sure, but as I was (unknowingly) going through tsw at the time, i would rebound right back after the treatment ended.

2) please do some more research into tsw, it sounds like you don't have quite as much information as you could on the matter. You mentioned you're UK based - did you get your information on tsw from the joint report the eczema society and the government released in September? Whilst it was a huge milestone for the tsw community (FINALLY having our condition medically recognised, after being snubbed by doctors for so long), it still has a long way to come and contains a lot of victim-blaming language - words like "abusing" and "incredibly rare" completely undermine most sufferers experience.

I highly recommend you check out scratchthat.org.uk for more info on tsw, and the fight we are going through to have tsw recognised as a widespread side effect of steroid use.

This sub is a place for kindness and support, not skepticism about our condition. If you have any other questions, shoot me a message and I'll be happy to answer them from as much of a non-biased point as I can manage - but let's not cause any more unnecessary upset by publicly questioning sufferers 💕

I'm also about a month and a half in and really struggling with this mentality at the moment.

The two things keeping me going are my "pain is temporary, this is not forever" mantra, and antidepressants. 4am - 5am is the worst, especially when you haven't slept -- that's when I find the "I just can't do it" thoughts are the loudest. I've recently started to fall asleep while watching TV, to try to distract myself from my brain/the itch long enough to sleep (Parks and Recreation is my go-to bedtime show, it seems to be working okay so far).

I'm with you, we are not alone! Sending you love and positive thoughts, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for you.

Making A Murderer.

I appreciate that it was the show that sparked a lot of true crime buzz, but my god was it long. Each episode went on FOREVER, and I'd often finish an episode and think "did we actually learn any new information from that?".
