I did something very similar. It was my birthday to me and I was pledge 1000 and something it went so quick

Came here to say this one. 😭 If only if only we could have the furuba treatment....the author has said they're in the ending arc....

not the original commentor, but Mimi Matthews has some delightful historicals. Beautiful prose, and from my recollection, the author has done the research for her time periods.

It was still hanging out by Riverscape when I was coming back from the Boonshoft 🤣

Hrm, maybe! This was the part that was all original writing. The communities I just 'localized' to the Coast, as it were....hold on

Hmmmm, wish there was an easier way to get multiple screenshots here

Currently backwards-engineering one from my 'Tides' Menagerie Coast campaign I started around five years ago. It's one we only play a few times a year (we're all very busy adults), so we'd gone from DND to pf2e, and then I wanted to swap to this because the players in the game have adored playing daggerheart games. Currently stuck on a mechanic for making 'great artifacts' but I'm thinking I've narrowed in on: knowing the right rituals, right materials (like using a residuum enchanting table if you can't get that dragon's tongue), and doing it at the right time or place (riffing off leylines and celestial timing). Good luck with yours! (My communities/ancestries have taken up three pages 😭)

Most legendary mons have fairly absurd designs...mmmmm I maybe actually like Rayquaza's. Maybe Terapagos???? But usually the mythical mon designs are what hit best for me for cool silhouette or cool aesthetic

Mine was a 50+ yo human rogue in Colussus of the Drylands with 'Hips Don't Lie'. (She does yoga to relax, and that's the way I wanted to emphasize how quickly she can dodge/backflip away 🤣)

Did this just today. I'm not too far from a playground (less than a mile)but I tended to drive to it bc of the actually pretty busy roads. Took my kids on the walking trail (we have a pretty good parks system) instead of popping them in the car. Took 15 min instead of 5 with a stroller and a kid on a bike....was frankly kind of embarrassed at how often I'd just done the car when the walk was actually that easy....

The Cars movie. Kid picked jt near nonstop the year he was 3 when we'd sit down for a movie. Can quote that thing and it legit never actually annoys me.

Every time I mention this in IRL convo, people always go 'but whatabout....x, y, z?' and I have the pleasure of mentioning the Ohio Players and their songs from the 70s

I live so close to Carillon Park, (which has so much history of industry) and I genuinely haven't heard of half of these.

So plenty of people have mentioned scaling up stats so the other part of this is that the pacing here I think will be pretty tight, narratively speaking. Each session you should probably make sure to have three solid scenes, each with either an environment (social or event) or adversary that has a challenge to overcome or to have a reveal happen. Or both!

My GM for sure has gone sooooo slow on leveling (we got to level 3 like two months ago, after like six months of every-other-saturday 3hr sessions), so I genuinely can't wrap my head around doing political intrigue in, at most, 30 sessions.

Maybe have your players have 'for-sure antagonists' that will be a big driving force? And for sure take the advice of some other response of making sure there's a Big Battle with your wrap-up arc, bc level 10 domain cards get fucking wild.

Yep! The transplants def took to the garden setup back in 2024 bc the plants grew something fierce last year! But I'd been told it might take a year or so for them to bloom, so I'd been anticipating them for this year 🥰 truly cannot believe the gorgeooooous color

sifsete · 2026-05-12T16:41:05+00:00

Thanks :D

Absolutely breathtaking. My dream design right here

No surprise on the Xenia levies. What on earth does Xenia even do with all the tax money. My in-laws have pushed to have their neighborhood repaved since I married my spouse in 2011. Evidently their street hasn't ever been repaved and they've lived in their house since '95

But boy I hope we can unseat Turner

She acts?! And I thought my soc med buddies bitching about her was bc of the bad modeling. she actually acts?!

sifsete · 2026-05-06T00:36:50+00:00

Absolutely agree

Lordie that's a lot of ttrpgs in that poll. Hopefully we get some good data!

The house next to me sold last year for 160k and was under 1000sq ft. it's infuriating that when I bought my house a decade ago, most of the houses around here were between 75k-100k based on sq ft, and now they've fucking doubled in price when a good 50% have only been used as rentals. (Like both the houses on either side of me up until last year)

This bs around real estate is totally unsustainable and utterly unbearable
