It's not federated, but something like BookStack could be an option for self-hosted collaboration.

Super fun. I always liked it when an RPG had some kind of sanity erosion built into the game, but I've not often seen it done in a way that is mechanically elegant and genuinely fun (unless you bring your own fun to it, that is). Are there any TTRPGs you know of that do this well (or badly enough to be worth knowing about)?

I'm just talking crap. My most recent impression of the series was Fable: The Journey and that sucked shit through a fat old boba tea straw.

I would know if it, if only for curiosity's sake

Thanks! I like the idea of burdening them with a past to reckon with, it should have occurred to me at the start. Maybe also certain vestigial mental health issues, to go along with the leftover magical power they might have kept.

The rez idea works if I can reimagine a few assumptions. I had thought there would only be a few of these folk in all the world, but perhaps they've had time to proliferate once they found each other and learned to overcome their habitual isolation.

Now I'm wondering if there was at some point infighting among some elves that led to a certain number of 'forced mythians'. Such folk would be distinct from the voluntary sort, slightly more like their old selves. Rendered sane against their will, resenting their own lucidity. That's an angle I can really have fun with!

Yeah but this one's going to be late for a little while and then suck forever

0.3mm, I love to write that thin but I can't stop breaking the lead. Agreed that the kuru toga is the best in this lineup though, I've had one for most of the last decade.

Stay strong brethren

I'm the only one going for #4? It's a uni ball vision elite, and I have about ten refills right now. Have had that barrel for the last fifteen or so years.

Pencils are for those who lack conviction!

This makes me miss WoD! I love flavour text for a TTRPG, my players always seemed ambivalent. Did you email this or read it aloud?

I hope you will! Thanks ^^

 

This is a playable race in a game I've been developing. I like the premise, but the overall impression feels lacking to me. Mythians come from elves in this story, which are more like cenobites than fairies (taking cues from Pratchett's Lords and Ladies but hyperbolically so, until you're more into Gwar territory). They've renounced horrific madness and cosmic power. It's got a lot going for it, but I'm not happy with how "simple" and just-so it all feels. Any help?

 

Crumb shot to follow in a couple hours

 

As title says. I want to really soak in that high-minded worldview today.

 

My algorithm in a nutshell. I might have delved too deeply.

 

Made this as a quick sketch for my kid, decided to do a quick touch-up in GIMP for printing it again later.

 
 

Many stretch and folds (almost pretending I was making pan de cristal) later, this is a stupidly soft crust. Like a Neapolitan style.

I'm going to try this again soon with slightly lower hydration, more oil, more heat, and a pre-bake of the crust without toppings so it gets more of a chance to grow. Any suggestions are very welcome.

 

I basically was winging it with this recipe. Did one stretch and fold because it was so wet. Spent an hour in my improvised banetton. Mostly just playing with my new little Dutch oven but it might be my prettiest crusty loaf ever
