Setting: Scrum. Boss: I'll pass it to Victoria since they have lots going on today with the playtest Me: Hello! Good morning! Yes. Lots going on today. I've got the keys and I'll be adding them to-- AHHH! There's a spider! [becomes completely derailed as everyone laughs at me recoiling]

Had a dream that a big ghost cat stalked me and sat on my chest while sleeping in my dream. I remember my dream self thinking, "So this is what sleep paralysis is like," until the thing started biting me. Anyway, woke up terrified. Guess I am up now.

I just mailed the invitations out! I totally made the mistake of getting the wrong side all shiny, though. Ah well. This is for friends. Wisdom gained Now I gotta write and design this thing. 😅

Front and back of a sepia post card with art nouveau illustrations. They are murder mystery party invitations with a 1920s Paris setting.

I wrote a murder mystery for a dinner party with friends and designed postcard invitations for each of them. Each have a little character background for them so they can cobble together a costume. They'll receive more details when they arrive at the party. I haven't designed those cards yet.

Alphonse Mucha's Carnation illustration on the left of the postcard. An Oscar Wilde quote is at the top: "Murder is always a mistake – one should never do anything one cannot talk about after dinner." and then lines for an address are below.

I've never knitted more than a scarf before. I am knitting a cardigan for the first time. Super simple one. I'm just following the pattern and trusting the process right now because I have no idea how this works.

What a game. It blew me away the same way KOTOR blew me away back in the day. The play loop is tight, choices affect mechanics in meaningful ways, narrative is at the top of its game, and it's just neat and tidy, design-wise. I'll be playing Zero Company many times through. A new favourite.

Oh. Lmao. There is so much more to Zero Company. They really outdid themselves. This game is incredible. I love the cycle and influence mechanics that keep everything tight. The narrative surrounding everything is top notch. Strategic combat is fun. Just so damned good.

Ok. After a rather emotional week dealing with family members in ill health, a family member going into crisis, and other family members working themselves up into a panic and crisis themselves, I am ready to turn off for the weekend. Star Wars Galactic Racer, here I come.*

An important part of beeing a Ranger is the pilgrimage to your Deilith, and after that, traveling to a lot of diferent locations in Amylte. Enviroment is important on the setting and mechanics. So I literally make the reader travel thru all reagions as they pass the pages 💚

CW: Medical stuff Early last week mom went to the ER because of super low blood pressure. She went into the hospital again on Friday with stroke symptoms.

Just got home from visiting my mom in the hospital and wow. This is very heavy stuff. She's terrified. But there's nothing we can do. It's Parkinson's. It will kill her. We all know this. Spent three hours holding her hand and listening to her fears. Now I need a good cry.

Making Thanksgiving dinner! Stuffing is a rye sourdough with apples, cranberries, garlic, onion, celery, green pepper, margarine*, loads of sage, rosemary, white wine, and stock. *a couple guests have dairy allergies, otherwise I would use butter.

Rye sourdough with apples, cranberries, garlic, onion, celery, green pepper, margarine, loads of sage, rosemary, white wine, and stock in a large, 15" cast iron pan, simmering. All of the bread and veg have been chopped finely in a food processor. The apples are sliced in small, thin squares and the cranberries are whole.
