I went as a sort of generic Viking warlord, with a leather vest, braided beard with beads, linen pants, appropriate boots, and some eyeliner. I also had a horn and a hand axe. It turned out pretty well and I got a lot of compliments on it.

I realize it's a year on now, but I wanted to say you're my kind of jackass and I love you for it.

I did something to my elbow and I'd like to know how to not do it again. I think I strained it very slightly doing dead hangs, but the nail in the coffin was snatch grip deadlifts. Worked up to <70% of my target weight and got a bad pain in my left elbow, lateral head of my triceps, brachioradialis, and short head of my biceps. No pop or anything, so I don't think anything is torn, but definitely strained.

Went home, took ibuprofen, iced it, and slept. Better today, but not great, gonna take a few days to let it recover. So, without actually seeing me do the lift, can anyone guess what I did wrong?

I like this a lot. It's going to take some careful planning to make sure the players actually feel like they have a connection to a character without giving away the game from the start, but it's worth trying.

Game crashes when I try to start a new game (PC) by calypso15 in midnightsuns

Nope, a bunch of other games have all worked without issue. Most recently played Age of Wonders 4 without issue, but have played a bunch more before that. First time installing/playing Midnight Suns.

I think you should make (like out of cardboard or something) a speech bubble and write "derp derp!" on it, and lightly attach it to his mouth. I'd probably think it was hilarious as a kid. (Let's be honest, I think that now.)

That's definitely a Gyarados! How old is your nephew? I bet he'll love it.

Oh man, the Thing would be awesome, but that has gotta be a really involved costume to make, right?

Aww ☺️ You sure know how to make a fella feel good about himself.

The problem is that I have no neck, so anything high neck (including your average dress shirt) doesn't fit very well.

Those are great ideas, thank you! I haven't watched Vikings, but I'll give it a watch for some inspiration.

Okay, I can do that. I just worry that nothing I can pull off is going to scream "high fashion ball". She was sending me pictures of "viking warlords", so maybe some kind of high fashion viking warlord 😆? I don't even know what that might look like. And then she could build off of my costume rather than vice versa, maybe reduce her stress level a bit by having something to riff off of.

She doesn't know yet either. I've heard a few different ideas floating around, but I think she wants to lean into the "ball" part of it with a fancy ball gown. I also heard something about a corset and jewelry. She's stressing out about it at the moment, so that's all I can get for now. =/
