tip from the archive: Prep your game by asking: Where does it start? What 5 fantastic locations do I have? What 10 secrets might be uncovered?

@slyflourish it starts in my living room! Fantastic locations: uh... bathroom, kitchen, bedroom... front step, and uh... the crawlspace! 10 secrets? I'm making the plot up as I go, I look forward to D&D more than anything else in my life, and the last 8 secrets are things I hid behind pieces of furniture and in broom closets because I ran out of time to clean.

Animal every hour bots are the backbone of this platform

@mausu I'd really go to bat for "animal every four hours" bots, honestly.

@mausu the hourly ones are great though, no shade

There should be an option to make your Roomba swear when it bumps into things.

Met this cute little Golden Crowned Kinglet this morning. I think it must have struck a window. Tried to shuffle it into a pile of leaves to recover but it fluttered up onto a nearby car. Hope it recovered. It was wonderfully weensy!

Wrote a little aquarium in nodejs

An terminal window with some ascii fish swimming around. There are bubbles, seaweed, and some snails along the bottom.

A PSA for anyone using a computer: Read the error message. It looks scary, but it's probably clearer than you are imagining. I've just read two support messages in a row where the answer is plainly stated in the error message the user is seeing.

Turns out these lumpy pumpkins are ROCK HARD. Busted out my woodcarving set to carve this and it was still nearly impossible to penetrate the upper crust.

tip: What are the common pitfalls for particular scenes you plan to run? How do you avoid them?

nickdrawthing,
@nickdrawthing@dice.camp avatar

@slyflourish literal pitfalls!! I have a player who often derails combats by defenestrating bad guys or throwing them down pits. I've had to stop putting those things in my encounters as they present more of a hazard to my monsters than they do to my players.
I throw the odd one in though so they can still enjoy it from time to time.

Kid wants to be a griffon for Halloween. Pizza box and dollar store cat mask here we go

A hand holding a beaked bird mask. It's a mess of masking tape and very WIP at the moment. A table full of cardboard scraps are in the background.

Progress continues.

Thinking about those nfc tags again. What about a ghost hunting game where you set them up in a room hidden inside objects, so scanning the item with your "ghost detector" (read: phone) unlocks an image or video clue related to that object. Scanning the grandfather clock takes you to a video showing the clock at the time of the murder, for instance.

I bought a 100 pack of NFC tags to make amiibos for my kid. I only needed 20 of them, and even if I make 20 more for some friends, I will still likely have a bunch left over.
What cool things can I do with NFC tags?

@Laztheinfamous oh, that's a very fun idea!

Bounded creativity produces more interesting results than unbounded creativity.

I say this a lot. And I've been gratified by the number of people I've talked to and listened to over the last few weeks who've expressed similar thoughts.

nickdrawthing,
@nickdrawthing@dice.camp avatar

@KeithAmmann I am pretty sure I agree with this but I'm not super sure I know what context you're taking about. Would you be willing to give an example?

Second salvage operation in for my scoundrel Katz in . This was an easy job, no threats and only a couple easy to avoid dangers. Ship split in two but wasn’t a big deal as I just used the shuttle I got from my last run to hop over to the other side — no space walk needed!

nickdrawthing,
@nickdrawthing@dice.camp avatar

@colinaut is this a playing-card based space salvage game??

I enjoy when something in a dream seems so significant it nearly brings you to tears, and then you wake up and it's like "I discovered you could stop farts by putting a raspberry up your nose" and it's like... why was that so important at the time

I always enjoy the solid month of illness that comes along with sending your kid back to school. You gently ease out of one wave of sickness before crashing back down into the next one.

@epidiah Does this work in google meet as well or is that a different monster?

Sounds like they're going to deorbit the ISS at the end of the decade.

No news yet on the chances for a free taco.

@epidiah @nickwedig Just read this through. It's very fun!! I love the premise. Digging the idea of astronauts screeching up in a stolen truck at the launch pad at T-60 seconds with the fuzz on their tail.
