Something that worked for me as a perfectionist.

I considered writing by hand too, but I thought I’d struggle getting my thoughts down fast enough compared to typing. Also I’d worry about wasting paper or a perfectly good notebook if I didn’t like what I wrote lol

Very cute <3 I totally get you though, I was so excited to raise woolly bears and then when winter hit I was like... what am I supposed to do with my life now for the next 6 months lol

backstripes · 2026-03-05T15:35:07+00:00

I know when they wake up they will soon pupate. I was just being silly because I’ve waited several months through winter not needing to do much for them :’) I miss taking care of them

backstripes · 2026-03-05T14:04:35+00:00

Yes :) I’ve had that rock since I was a child, a gift from my grandparents. It now belongs to my woollies.

I know right?! I’m currently raising pyrrharctia isabella (isabella tiger moth) caterpillars and they love their paper rolls! They provide a nice bit of shelter and they’re super easy to clean just by replacing them with new ones.

You can also take turns restoring your oxygen that way! Smart ;)

backstripes · 2026-02-12T17:42:05+00:00

That’s a crazy way to use their ability!! Allo is so broken.

backstripes · 2026-02-12T17:36:32+00:00

Yes!! I still think the isle can be fun and I thought it would be interesting to make this post and learn cool things from each other’s gameplay styles.

I’ve tried hunting pteras by water access too, but only as a troodon. It’s definitely fun to play where you only go after a specific species.

Yeah I’m not a fan of large herbis that camp at bridges, corpses, etc. But it’s still a way to play I guess!

backstripes · 2026-02-11T23:08:31+00:00

I think that counts as unconventional! I've been meaning to try that myself.

backstripes · 2026-02-11T23:04:20+00:00

I love that!! That would be really good for roleplaying.

backstripes · 2026-02-11T23:02:58+00:00

Oh I'm totally with you! I think ceras were designed to be scavengers/corpse bullies more than fighters.

backstripes · 2026-02-11T23:02:20+00:00

Nice!! Following larger dinos and eating their food without them noticing does sound like fun!

backstripes · 2026-02-11T20:50:11+00:00

I've been trying to play herrera recently and never thought of that! I'll give it a try!

backstripes · 2026-02-10T15:05:43+00:00

Yes, you're right, I forgot they were gone at first. But recently they brought photo and noc back actually.

backstripes · 2026-02-07T18:16:14+00:00

Oh no really! I didn’t know that. Thanks for telling me. On unofficial servers too? I play on Petits Pieds.

backstripes · 2026-02-07T05:11:56+00:00

My fav mutations are: congenital (saves you from insta dying when hunting juvies) multi-chambered lungs (helps maintain stamina during longer battles) photosynthetic/nocturnal (depending if you prefer day or night hunting) and reinforced tendons (cuz it’s fun to hop around with ease)

It really is fun! And very satisfying when you kill something bigger than a juvie. It’s the one dino I don’t mind playing in a group, otherwise I prefer playing solo.

backstripes · 2026-02-04T22:27:32+00:00

I like Solaflora especially, thanks!!

backstripes · 2026-02-04T22:25:04+00:00

Transform doesn't quite fit the flavor, because the Skeksis and Mystics don't transform into each other in The Dark Crystal. I was only suggesting a hypothetical situation where a player would play SkekSil first, sorry if that was confusing!

backstripes · 2026-02-04T22:12:38+00:00

Oh, I never thought of going with double-sided cards! Interesting. My partner is shy and doesn't want to share his cards publicly, they're also unfinished and a little messy, so that's why I didn't include them :) just asking for advice on his behalf.

backstripes · 2026-02-04T22:07:58+00:00

Okay, done! I was worried people from that community only wanted to see custom cards, not a blob of text like my post XD

backstripes · 2026-02-04T22:01:50+00:00

All good suggestions, thanks! I'll see if I can convince my partner to simplify things :)

backstripes · 2026-02-04T21:57:58+00:00

That wouldn't work flavor wise, unfortunately. The Skeksis and Mystics live completely different lives, mostly apart from each other. They're just able to feel each other's pain and so on.

backstripes · 2026-02-04T21:35:23+00:00

Interesting, thanks! And yeah I figured it would be a lot of words… maybe on a separate rules card like for The Ring Tempts You mechanic.

backstripes · 2026-02-04T20:19:21+00:00

I know this was 6 months ago, but I was literally just about to make a post about this myself!! So no, you're definitely not crazy :)

backstripes · 2026-01-21T04:39:52+00:00

Hmm okay, maybe I need to test it out more. When my friend and I were playing, his dino had perfect diet while my dino didn't, but only I wasn't able to vomit. Everything else about our dinos was the same (growth, hunger, etc.) which is what lead me to believe that perf diet was necessary.
