darchildreThings:
- It's not actually going to snow tonight - the forecast says the snow isn't going to start here till tomorrow evening - but that isn't stopping me from still hoping something will happen and I'll have a snow day tomorrow.
- Every year, I do this stupid thing where I have Yule and it's a big deal and then it's over and I say "okay, I'm taking a couple days off from religious devotion" and then fall out of the habit of devotion entirely. This year, to the point that I entirely missed celebrating Disting. (Oops.) But today I did some devotion revamping, so I think I'm back on track for a while. (Till summer, which is the other time when I traditionally just kinda stop doing religious stuff for a while...)
- I have a new fun solo rpg tool that I'm really enjoying using - it's the Location Crafter. (Made by the same people who made the Adventure Crafter, which I also really enjoy.) I'm getting better at planning cool stuff for my solo games while also working in stuff that's going to be a surprise or that I can discover in play and the Location Crafter has been a fun tool in that regard. It's designed to randomly generate a location to explore, which is already cool and has the potential for surprises. You do this by making a few lists of things that might show up that you can then roll on, and it has options to include some random elements that you can discover in play. I'm also experimenting with putting short phrases on the lists without knowing what those phrases mean. In the one I'm using for my Ironsworn game, I have a location listed that's just "the black ash tree". In my tiny rpg, there's an encounter listed with "the Crying Child". I don't know what either of those things are or why they're significant but I'm excited to find out.
- The lemon cake I made this past weekend is extremely good. It's not quite as moist as I ideally want but it is lemony as hell and I love it. I also have several other lemon cake recipes to try in my quest to find the perfect lemon cake. I'm very excited about this continuing experiment.
