      I love the wealth of stories that already exist out there in the universe, and the way that this hobby often inspires me to find them over the course of background research for my own characters and projects.

      Like this. I was trying to brainstorm meaningful names for a fictional ship, and came across a fascinating one from Chilean mythology, which I otherwise know less than nothing about.

      I’m sure I’m not the only one who can attribute many novel real world experiences to inspiration from the hobby, either. Characters I’ve played have led me to pick up new skills, sample new cuisines and even travel.

      Let it never be said that fiction doesn’t benefit the non.

        I was excited to see new Ares plugins that included support for another RPG system (Pendragon)! I think it’s really awesome to see people doing what must be a ton of work to help make even more RPG systems usable on Ares. GOOD JOB, @Lyanna! (I’ve only ever played Pendragon for like two seconds so I don’t even know but IDK IT’S JUST EXCITING TO SEE.)

          Oooooooo this looks really neat, and opens up some more options for people who want to play with social skills in RP.

          I want something else to get me through this

          I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye

              Thank you to @Roadspike @Faraday and @Tat for talking to me today regarding Seven Nations combat. Did a lot of mock combat testing and I’d say it went really well. Road even dropped by to observe and give feedback.

              The combat has come much farther than I had initially suspected. And the players that helped had a good time figuring out how combat works and learning commands.

              All told, good day all around. Thank you for listening to me trying to figure this out. I think it’ll work out pretty well.

                When you run your first official combat on your game. And while it might’ve been hilariously too easy(need to tweak bows and enemy armor to not be made of balsa wood), everyone still had a great time and felt included in what was happening. Even if the event was really just an opener for ‘Bad Things Are Afoot’.

                        That magical moment when you meet someone new and your brains just click. That’s a joy that never, ever gets old.

                          My brain is still fucky but flashbacks are saving my RP life right now. So I’m not completely out, but I’m finding stuff that was easy before as difficult now. Like don’t ask me to do a group scene yet, guys, it makes the brain go ‘NOPE’. But it’s getting better.

                                    People who take a minute to say they appreciate stuff you do. I’ve been working 50-60 hour weeks since April and it’s hard to stay on top of game stuff - both time-wise and just mental-wise some days. I know people are super understanding about RL, but I also don’t like being bad with game responsibilities and worry I’ve been. That one page all, thumbs-up, just ❤

                                    she/her, them/they - not super particular

                                    I have been here the whole time
