Good morning 

 

D&D never interested me. But I know that for those into it it’s quite popular. 
 

My wife is supposed to get her first shot today   That is if they actually have vaccine.  We’ve been talking about Covid and all the restrictions because of it. We are both missing friends we haven’t seen in close to a year and aren’t likely to just because of the shot.  Now the thing is you can still get sick, just not as sick. Apparently the only thing that is really expected to go down is hospitalization and mortality.  And until everyone is vaccinated we still aren’t going to be safe.  What percentage will refuse?  I know my daughter is one.

 

oh well get off the soap box and pity party.  Hey nice weather this week   Take care

OMG.  I tried playing Aftermath back in the day.  It was cumbersome but cool as I remember.  Lots of math.  I think I have a pdf copy of it somewhere, on some old hard drive.  Never got to play it much, because my friends couldn't get into it.  I always wanted to a post alien invasion campaign.  I loved the rats in that game.  I forget what they were called.  I played Bushido quite a bit as well (same publisher).

 

@JustineM forgot to mention in my last post, caught up as I was in my reminiscing, I hope you have fun with the kids and DnD!

My then 13 year-old youngest daughter went straight for a half-orc barbarian.  I totally didn't expect that, as she was always my girlie fashion queen.

 

Sure, but playing someone who you absolutely are not day-to-day is part of the allure. Stepping outside of yourself and being someone else for a couple of hours. I seem to have been turned into the perma-GM for my current group (don't know how I feel about that), but when I get to play I usually gravitate towards someone with psychic powers or a bard. I love playing me some bard.

Never played it myself, but I know it. A friend had a copy in middle school but those old Fantasy Games Unlimited rules were... well, they were not written for clarity or playability. I still have soft spots for Villains and Vigilantes and Space Opera but I'm way past multiplying by fractions I got from four different charts against a multiple of my body weight to calculate my hit points.

 

@KymmieL dear, I am QUEEN of the geeks.

 

Hugs!

Oh this isn't my first 5e game, I do like most of the changes they made with the system.

 

OMG. I CAN'T believe there are other people that know about Aftermath! here! I discovered it later, never did get a chance to play it. I bought the PDF of it a while back.

I’ve been invited to a baby shower for one of my co-workers. Guess I’m more accepted as one of the girls than I thought.  Excited and a little scared.

Personally, I have an abusive relationship with D&D. I do not like the system. It does not play nice with my sensibilities or GM style. However, I own EVERY SINGLE EDITION because it keeps saying, "Oh baby, I've changed," and I keep believing it. Also it's all anybody wants to play, so I'm stuck.

I'll happily play it with friends, but I hate running it. I've been running the current game more-or-less weekly for over a year.

 

As for people who know about Aftermath... oh sweetie. I am SURROUNDED by game books over here. I love trying new systems. My shelves are choked with books and my E:/ drive is festooned with game-related .pdf files. During my unhappy denial years, I tried to fill the void in my soul with epic piles of RPG games (also some war games and board games). The result is an avalanche of RPG products. Most of which have only been played a couple of times. Some not at all (looking at YOU 7th Sea). I seriously have more stock than my friendly local game store.

 

Hugs!

It's really is hard. I was afraid I gonna make a mistake and accidentally out myself. That's when I went full-time.

 

I haven't played D&D since AD&D 2nd edition came out. Had a lot of good times.

 

I'm kinda glad I just went coming out 1 day to FT by the end of the week. It stressed me out so much that week switching back and forth.

 

I think I stopped after Monster manual #2 came out circa 1983 or so. lol. Spent WAY to much time in the basement with friends during summers and weekends. haha

Ok you d and d aficionados. I have never played but sounds interesting. I used to play the original adventure, colossal cave, on DOS a long time ago. You had to type in the directions. N for north, U for down. GET for pickup a nearby object. Etc.

 

My contribution to the discussion is to supply the dice for your game. I found a six sided rock!

I used to play d&d when I was younger.  Had a hard time getting into it as my fellow players did not like me trying to play female roles.   When the group got older they started with larping Masquerade.  I gave that a go for a bit this time just making a flamboyant character.  Also did not end well.  I just quit all rpg games. This contributed to me going deep into the closet.

I could see that. In later life, I've met wonderful accepting gamers. My original core group was pretty progressive (for the 80s) too. Teenagers though... teenage gamers can REALLY suck. The combination of "awkward" and "desperate to fit in" can go toxic really, really fast.

 

You're about forty years too late for that first group of mine back in middle school, but we would have accepted you. Then again, two of us turned out to be trans. One more wouldn't have made much of a difference. ?

 

@AgnesBardsie, I think I OWN that die. In the early sets the dice that came with the game weren't always what you would call "true." One that big might be hard to roll, but I totally appreciate the large, easy-to-read faces as I get older and my vision gets worse.

 

Hugs!

This is a hit die.  This is used by GMs to hit players if they keep being obnoxious.

They make plushie dice for that now. Cleanup is MUCH easier.

 

Plushie d20

 

Though I do have a couple of metal sets of polys. One of them is a "what were you thinking?" sort of design. I swear the METAL mind you d4s have barbs. There are actual indentations in the, and I can't stress this enough, steel d4, to hold the die in place after it punctures your bare foot.

 

Though the first metal set I bought, my players nicknamed "the skull denters." They're surprisingly dense for their size.

It’s not that big. Less than an inch per side. I didn’t know what else to do with it!

The funny thing about the group I played with the most, it's been long suspected the DM might be somewhere on the lgbtq+ spectrum.  Nothing ever came of that as of yet.  I started playing about 90 and ended attempting by 96ish. 

 

You are soo right about trying to fit in being toxic. I made so many choices based off trying to fit in, and I did a decent job.  Now it will be hard to step back and not do all the "mannly" tasks for family.

A different supportive word on each side would be a cute idea for it.

This is so nice Elizabeth.  Mike is right, we tend to see changes in ourselves last.  Pick out a nice gift and be yourself!

Makes me shudder just thinking about how many times I stepped on one of those. Actually worse than legos.

Well, breast forms arrived today and I have an appointment to get my ears pierced. 
 

as far as it being a fair die, I tossed it a 100 times and got these results 

1 - 12

2 - 23

3 - 22

4 - 36

5 - 4

6 - 3

 

could be useful for generating rare events

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
