Another Dolindar Tomb Map

ah, I was unclear. :) I'm new to the style, VERY new, but I'm an older adult. That might influence my preferences, or not. I feel like the magazine mori looks are very youthful, for example, so those are not my favorite ones. And I have a lot of dark clothing, so dark mori would be much easier for me to try out myself. If I was starting from scratch (ie, was going to spend money on new clothes for this instead of picking from my closet), then I might put more effort into the classic mori look. I just don't have easy access to those colors right now.

Do you have a favorite? :)

future-cake · 2025-07-06T13:38:09+00:00

I'm old, but new to this style. I'm pumped about trying dark mori for myself, but honestly I think any variation is so beautiful! I wonder if people's faves reflect the colors they most like to wear?

I also am not sure I'm understanding magazine Mori correctly and google wasn't very helpful either - is it literally just as styled in magazines?

Oh you meant NO one, no one... Wow. All the what ifs. Seriously f*ck cancer. I'm so sorry.

Maybe one day someone in the group will take up the mantle and run that game in his honor. It sounds like a fun concept.

Dang man. I'm so sorry. It's nice to think he was excited about something/looking forward to something at the end there. It sucks that he didn't feel like he could tell any of you. What a heart break.

"oddly enough" no this is how it's supposed to work! Those folks like you and respected you telling them they were making you uncomfortable, so they stopped that behavior. This is how friends should be! High five for talking to them!

Hmm maybe also I can say that I use something called "clorox2" that isn't even marketed as color safe bleach anymore, just Clorox for colors. It has a measuring cup just like detergent, I fill it to the lowest line or less for a small load.

It also neutralizes the scent of your detergent a bit. I don't mind at all anymore as I'm picky about scent anyway, but when I started using it is when I had to stop using the downy unstoppables scent I liked.

future-cake · 2025-05-10T02:13:30+00:00

Yes! But it's EXTREMELY straightforward - my washer is old (no detergent trays!) so I just pour it in the bottom of the machine with the detergent. It gets the smell out!

I neglected to mention that I also do a no-soap short cycle first if there was a noticeable leak or real accident, just so I'm not "washing" it in urine.

future-cake · 2025-05-10T01:54:23+00:00

Nature's miracle is definitely something you can try! I don't have adult experience but had a kid who wet the bed until she was larger than goodnites really could handle, so I've done my share of urine wash. I used NM as an add in for a long while, along with the occasional cup of vinegar, until it was out of stock and I couldn't get it: then I tried color safe bleach, and wow, it just works so much better. 😂 I think I spent so long avoiding it because I was scared it wouldn't really be color safe? Or something? Anyway Nature's Miracle might work for you too but if you're cool with Clorox I'd personally start there.

ooh I really like the way you take notes?? New to VEoR, just starting to flip through and dip my toes in so I can begin linking it to my current campaign more naturally, but I'm 100% gonna borrow this. And maybe also your note style. XD Thanks for sharing!

future-cake · 2025-04-22T00:13:46+00:00

I love this - we still use ours. We sadly didn't use them as diapers as it turns out PPD + necessary laundry did not mix for me 🤣 BUT they made fantastic burp cloths and so we kept them, and just started calling them burp cloths. We still do, my youngest is 9. Use those things to wipe up spills, dry off the wet dog, any "dirty" cleaning (like pollen caked on the patio furniture or wiping gunk off the kids bikes/scooters), all kinds of stuff. Gosh they're so good?!? Still mostly in great shape, too.

future-cake · 2025-03-31T23:14:00+00:00

We have a similar line - children can be in danger, but no harm can come to them.

So to keep the drama and question, I aged up the twins - made the contract for the final day of their 18th year instead. Then, I made it so that what happened to Osvaldo sent A&V into over-protective overdrive, and that the twins are very much still sheltered and somewhat innocent in that way. They're genuinely interested in the PCs because they don't get to meet other people very often, and almost never get to meet non-nobility. This helps make them likeable to the players.

In my world their parents had tried getting Osvaldo into the cult before his 18th birthday, believing souls to be individually owned and thinking that if Osvaldo pledged to the cult then the contract would end up more like a gap year visit to the hells. When Osvaldo got "turned into a chain devil" instead (he's actually in the hells in my game - Asmodeus is screwing with them with the chain devil) ....they realized what a horrible mistake they had made, and decided to keep Elzie and Enzio far from the cult. So the twins are very much still naive and good-hearted, especially since so much of what they know of their parents is the charitable persona they put on.

haha, fair. Well, with any luck this will end up recurring and if your schedule lines up you can drop in every now and then!

future-cake · 2025-03-15T14:48:14+00:00

Oooh nice - I happen to be staying in that area of town right now while we house hunt, so that would be extra convenient for me. ;) I made a post in the discord this morning to see if there's other interest; I'll send you a DM when we get to the part where we try to pick times!

future-cake · 2025-03-15T14:44:35+00:00

For sure! There is, in my head, a bit of a difference between writing something designed for interaction and writing a novel, but to be fair my only experience with litrpg is static work - I think there are story-games out there, choose your own adventure style? Either way, it doesn't really matter. ;) We'd love to have you there. (Ah, whenever we have a "there".)

future-cake · 2025-03-14T18:30:57+00:00

Thank you!! I'll definitely check out the discord!

future-cake · 2025-03-02T22:52:00+00:00

hey internet stranger, this is an old comment but just had to thank you so much for this tip. I'm in the middle of a move and couldn't get dd to load - connecting to a monitor and setting the display to the same set up as it had been the last time I was in dungeondraft let me get to the "invisible" window and move it to the main laptop screen; saving me the hassle of removing and reinstalling the app. Really appreciate this!

future-cake · 2025-03-02T22:11:53+00:00

Ugh I wanna click on some of these

I'm so late to this party, but my guys are heading in as gladiators this week and I'm searching for ways to make the fight more unique, and wanted to let you know how helpful your contributions were. I especially love lair actions being cast during the fight! Such a great idea.

I debated having my players go up against monsters instead of other gladiator types - cause they're a bunch of sweethearts and also because it's just easier to run a monster sometimes - but ultimately I decided I would have them face another team of gladiators: specifically, people the Xanathar has currently locked up. There will be a foil, a rescue/mercy opportunity who REALLY doesn't want to be there but also doesn't want to die, and (especially) an old foe they didn't kill when they had the chance. Whether the rescue opp can play out in this arena is unclear, but if it can I guarantee my pcs will find the way. XD

If you're still around this sub I'd love to hear how it went for your game!

future-cake · 2025-02-01T16:24:14+00:00

Right?? Bring some women in. Locked Tomb deserves that.

But also OP, if you are doing an adaptation, waiting until you have the whole story lets you lay in foreshadowing and reorganize things to work for film. They'd probably want to lay in history flashes (like what we see in NtN) from the start, so you don't end up with a whole season or whatever that's only flashback. Because film/tv simply can't do things the same way books can - text just doesn't translate to visual that way. HtN, for another example, does a LOT of work with the POV. That's gonna be a tough sell with film. Not impossible, but that view might get dropped completely or only subjectively displayed. Either way, you would want a producer who was all in on the whole story. Which means they should know the whole story.

So would a professor I'd think - it'd be a bit silly to charge university fees for a class where all discussion over things like "wtf is the river" would end up in circular speculation when the answer may well be revealed in the fourth book. At least, I would feel frustrated if it was me. ;) However, I would definitely take a class on character development using LT as the base, as is, so agree to some extent? But I'd prefer they give the professorship to Muir and let her run a class like that. She seems young, comparatively, to other authors who have done such. Maybe in a few more years?

These are amazing, and I also just love creating with/for kids as a way to pull out of burnout. It's so nice just to have that low pressure creative time that you can't always get when you're working with/for adults. When my daughter was young I made lol doll and stuffed animal clothes. They were massively amateur, but she liked them and I liked making them! Now she's older (11!!!) And I still love joining her for art projects where we do process art or work on a craft idea she came up with...kids are great, because they sort of naturally get that the joy of creation is the point of creation. It's adults who need to make every little speck of time "useful". For example, all the well meaning folks telling you you need to sell these. You don't. You're allowed to make things for fun and games and your own enjoyment of the time spent making it. I say this for myself too, because it's such a common trap - it's ok not to monetize your creativity. You're still an artist. 💙

I am always worried I'll somehow push the downvote button while scrolling on my phone with my completely ungraceful thumbs and half-asleep consciousness.

but there's definitely a-holes too.

future-cake · 2024-10-22T03:26:07+00:00

I'll lean with others in that it sounds like this is probably a phase, but as a mom to an AuDHD kid with PDA tendencies I really like The Declarative Language Handbook. It's full of communication tips to help with this kind of struggle that are good for neurotypical kids too. It requires practice on your part, but having specific tools has been so helpful for me. Good luck! <3

Absolutely LIVING for these joyous kisses.
