I'm trying to keep the actual "rooms" from becoming too formulaic, it's the episodic part that's got me a little worried. I want my players to control the story but they're being sent on away missions so I'm worried they feel like they're just checking boxes:

  • get to know the locals
  • find the reason they're there
  • gather info
  • find/kill the X but, oh no/yay, here comes Y
  • repercussions for finding/killing (or not) the X
  • possibly stay and party with the ewoks for a while
  • head home

Of course, the missions they go on are not happening in a vacuum and affect other missions and the overall story and they choose the missions.

I mostly lost interest in fireworks a long time ago, but if you want to do fireworks American style just think "November 5th + 20% pointless danger." E.g. As a kid we used to wrap "whistling pete" fireworks in electrical tape then smash them with a hammer before we set them off. They usually just explode, but sometimes they shoot off in a random direction first.

What I do these days if assume most stuff is closed so I stay home during the day, Then in the evening I might go to one of the parks doing "official" fireworks to people watch.

Strawberry Rhubarb has been my favorite since I was a kid. Sweet and tart and delicious.

The poop post still bubbles up. It's got some cling-ons.

Good tips in here.

I'm running a campaign right now that's very episodic and I'm starting to feel like I'm just running five room dungeons over and over. This will help me spice things up.

This was me back when I disto hopped. Screwing something up was really just an excuse to try something new.

Now I'm I'm in a comfortable rut, but after recently having to set up a new machine from scratch NixOS is starting to look tempting.

A chunk of the remaining 60% is me obsessively playing Oxygen Not Included.

Yeah, I've been an RSS user for 20ish years now. I've used feedly since GReader, but I'm considering going with a local docker solution soon.

Don't forget involuntarily waking up at 5 to worry about the call and rehearse for it.

AFAIK, it's just commenting or posting.

I've never understood the fascination people had/have with this movie.
