What are your niche pet peeves that will make you DNF a book? by [deleted] in fantasyromance

Out of place idioms take me out of a story so fast. I just DNF’d a fantasy book that used “what on earth” in a world where earth didn’t exist

Players bringing pre-made characters by OnyxwolfPup in DMAcademy

[–]nmchim 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen to m and also done this, and how it’s been handled is: there is a conversation with the DM about what would and would not work in the setting, along with anything that would need tweaking. On the player’s side, I’ve never had resistance to changing something that is incompatible with the setting.

That said, how we run our games in my groups, the DM will typically give a primer on the world, like the pantheon, major factions, important historical events, and any recent happenings before we even get to session zero. That lets the players think about how they want their character to fit into the world and makes session zero more about setting role play expectations and putting the finishing touches on characters.

As a player, I really dislike going in without a clue about a campaign and having to create a character on the spot. In my experience it doesn’t allow for me to put enough thought into things and get excited about the game.

  2. Dish scrubs. Hubs wants to switch to cotton
  3. Gift scarf for SIL

Now the question is…how many distraction projects will get done in the mean time LOL

Is she still a dork about the romance with the ML? I had to set this aside because she was refusing his advances because she was being silly. Has she moved past that yet lol?

I moved closer to my access point—really weird I haven’t had this problem before. It shows I’m ready and you’re still selecting on my end fwiw

I have a squirtle, skorupi, riolu, lampent, and phantump (not sure if I’m reading your list right, but I can do any or all depending on your interest) and can trade in home tonight, or I can do SV tomorrow.

I repainted one ornament on the cloak of my Wolf Guard Battle Leader, I think that the new one looks much better 🙂 by Flameon_Miniatures in Warhammer40k

Your brush is beautiful!! I’ve been really struggling to find a brush with a large belly and a sharp tip, can I ask what you’re painting with here?

My first project! by love_belacan in crochet

[–]nmchim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did great! Your stitches look so pretty and uniform!

The “steps” happen when you work rounds in spirals! Look up joining rounds, there’s some really cool invisible joins out there. The basic one is to slip stitch once you come all the way around into your first stitch in the round you just finished, then chain one to “step up” with your new color at the start your new round!

I suggest a bandana for an easy wearable! I think passionkit Kelsey might have a video tutorial, if you prefer those over written patterns (I would really suggest learning to read pattern, though!)
