It’s Wednesday, so I’m modifying Bandcamp Friday with some electrical tape and popsicle sticks to share my SoundCloud!
I make weird electronic experimental music because I have a kink for people not listening to it.
One time I wrote a spell of protection. How it works is, you cast it, and then any time in the next 30 days, if you're ever reduced to 0 HP, a winged lion comes and carries you away to a place of healing, where you're fed, cared for, massaged, allowed to rest, pampered, exercised, however long it takes until all your HP are restored. Then the winged lion returns...
Microsoft Premier support sucks so fucking hard right now. I don't know what they changed, but we've been trying to get an issue resolved for over a month. 95%+ delay has been an engineer being assigned. The only way to get any traction is to make it Severity A, but this isn't a production down issue so we don't need 24/7 availability with hand-offs every 8 hours.

Tribes in the Dark Update http://aggregatecognizance.com/p/titd-update/
We have created a concert-loving monster. My step-daughter wanted to go see Bauhaus in Seattle on Thursday if she paid for her own ticket. Her uncle wasn't comfortable with her going alone (we weren't really either) so she got him to pay for my daughter to go too.
I'm gonna be the dad dropping her off at the club, I know it. Of course I'm just as likely to go in too.
Who am I, and how can you find my work?

And I'm franky tired of this ridiculous insinuation that there are these unwritten rules that turn D&D into the perfect game if only you figure out what they are and Do The Work™️.
D&D does what it was designed to do very well, but it was designed to do fewer things than it claims it was.
And if you have to (objectively) "finish" designing the game before its what you want maybe you haven't chosen the optimal game for what you want to do.

@genesisoflegend Some After the War questions.
1) Was the PDF ever updated, and does the print version reflect any kind of update?
2) There's a couple inconsistencies. The timeline says the first FTL took two years ship time but 40 on Earth (and only two weeks return because of improvements) but the timeline seems to indicate only two years. Also the section on Tormenta says that Tormenta Prime's body was imprisoned under guard with a minefield vs a terraforming bomb to keep it subdued. #ttrpg
I realized last night I actually have After the War by @genesisoflegend but it kind of slipped through the cracks. Started reading it today...I absolutely love this game. The setting is really evocative. I'll likely run it with the system as is, but I'm getting really cool ideas for Cortex mods from it.
