One year later (looking through my comments) - how did it go?

Lich McConnell has hidden phylacteries throughout all of Middle Earth America.

Is there any particular reason every single gun is aimed vaguely in the direction of those two kids? It somehow makes it look extra tone deaf.

Right there in the name - trickle.

I’m sorry, did you want a lot?

No, they think. They think up lies to tell.

Let me help!

• 1 block tempeh, sliced down the middle long ways, and then clicked into little rectangle slices. Pan fry in a little oil of you choice.

Combine for sauce (put in a bowl and toss the tempeh in it after - cooked peanut butter isn’t great, imo):

• 1 part soy sauce or tamari
• 1 part lime juice
• 1 part sriracha
• 1 part brown sugar
• 2 parts peanut butter

Get back to me. This is one of my absolute favorites!

Tofu is fine, but tempeh is almost as widely available in supermarkets, has a higher protein density, is fermented, and works in soooo many things. It’s also way easier to get the hang of marinating and cooking.

I mention this only because I love it so much, and I’d love for people that shit on vegan food to give that a go (lightly pan fried, and then tossed in a gooey before sriracha-soy-peanut-butter-lime-brown-sugar sauce) and get back to me. I could eat it every night and never get tired of it.

Big ol’ post below:

Every LARP has a different system, which in our game is light-touch(1) and kinda light-hearted. We use latex weapons like those from Forgotten Dreams and Mytholon (two manufacturers I know of off hand), and there’s a hit point system, and vocally called damage and skills with different effects.

Example: Hitting an opponent and calling “Strength 5” indicates to the opponent that they need to take 5 steps away from the attacker in the direction the attacker chooses. They also take basic weapon damage of 1 HP in this transaction.

While every LARP has its own system, there is a lot of overlap because of the limitations presented by a physical (ie. in-person) system. You can do a way larger swath of things in a tabletop.

Look for LARPs in your area online, and I’m sure you’ll find a few.

(1)Different games handle it differently, but we have players stemming from single digits to upper double digits, and we try to be accommodating to the needs of a diverse age group with varying degrees of disability.

Seriously, you’d think people could just be happy for someone’s happiness, instead of being miserable. I’m over those feelings. You don’t have to like the same stuff to get along.

Primary motto: Do your best not to hurt anyone, but otherwise do what you want. Enjoy life while you have it.

Secondary motto: Enjoy seeing other people’s happiness. Sometimes giving up something (small) you want for someone else to have something they really want (or even need) feels even better.

Have fun, and do good. Thanks for your kind words 😊

Red Dead Redemption 2 for so many reasons.

I’m a semi-secretive LARPer. I pack my stuff at night, don’t talk to my coworkers about it, and just go about my life as if I don’t.

I’ve found people are pretty judgy about it, so I just don’t mention that I enjoy getting into a neat costume, playing some little mini-games, having a drink or six, camping, and (most importantly) seeing my friends once a month in a structured activity.

It’s fun stuff if you find the right group. That last part is hard.

I was just commiserating with my wife about how we both exhibit a bunch of signs of ADHD but can’t get medicated because doctors are highly discouraged from prescribing them, because of the misuse associated with them.

GPs won’t prescribe them because of societal pressure, and yet there is also a nationwide shortage of psychiatrists.

The end result is that people who need something to get them to baseline suffer because politicians need to make a hammer-style policy for a scalpel-style problem.
