I'm a big geek. TTRPGs, Comics, Video Games, Board Games, Minis, Toys, Anime, Sci Fi, Fantasy or whatever random thought might work its way into my noggin. #dnd #TTRPG player and GM.
I do think that "I learned it by watching you!" is more famous. Mostly because it can be used in so many situations

On the othert hand the "This is brain on drugs" did get a Robot Chicken sketch

Yay! Going to run my #D&D game tomorrow!
Marvel as the party join a giant snail race with speeds as high as 2!
The thrill of the PCs try figure out which of several dozen fortune tellers are telling the truth!
Cower as they have to deal with monsters inspired by a 9 year old!

This just kind've reminds me of whenever a friend of mine orders a burger, plain

Just the deer in headlights look he gets from the person behind the counter at like McF'd "So ahh.. no pickles?"

buddy: No, plain, I want bread, meat then more bread

Cashier: So uhm did you want ketchup on it?
ATTENTION! I drink my coffee without additives. No cream, no sugar, no frothy shit, no flavors. PLEASE when I order coffee from you stop putting crap in my coffee. I tell you no, I mean no. I don't care if other people put crap in their coffee, let them have it. Why is this such an ordeal?

Blargh. Having one of those days. sitting here and I notice that my stove isn't heating up and going "great, what's wrong with it"

And then I realize that I never turned it on...

*sigh*

Got tickets to see the Transformers the Movie 40th anv showing tomorrow...

As of when I bought the tickets it will be pretty much an empty theater

Good idea.
I may have to have weird necrotic effects happen with the various altars around the combat map the current fight is on. It'll be fun1

PC: I take cover behind this altar
DM: Ok, make me a con save as you suddenly feel something in the altar start trying to absorb your soul
FRPG GM Tip: Have a short list of stock environmental effects on hand that can be added to any encounter and that you know how to run. Then drop in one of those effects anytime a fight becomes less entertaining than you expected. Cult battle feeling flat? Time for that shrine of evil to explode!

Bit disappointed that my #TTRPG groups would play them if I ran them, but none of the players wpold be that excited to play the Power Rangers, GI Joe or transformers games I planned out

I have a lot of nerdy references in them as plot points, but know that none of my players would catch them

Been seeing people put up Optimus Prime quotes with Peter Cullen's passing.. they're cool and all but the quote that comes to mind comes from his brother Larry when peter was coming up with Optimus' voice that stuck with me

I really need to get off my butt and get my new #D&D campaign set up on Roll20. Not going to start for a few weeks yet, but I really should get maps and stuff set up so I'm not scrambling when we do start

And need to build some monsters. Once again using ideas from @redwyrm.bsky.social .

You know, cheesecake in a rice cooker never really occured to me.

Welp, guess I have a use for that second rice cooker. Off to look for receipes!
YouTube showed me a bunch of "Japanese style cheesecake in the rice cooker" videos and I'm about to make that my problem.

I mentioned I should bake one for my birthday and this could be a fun and ridiculous attempt.

(Thankfully the grocery is near enough to have regular ingredients on backup.)

Dangit... now I want some French Toast
Pro tip: "French toast" you some hotdog buns and put sausage links and syrup in em. This is what Jesus died for, godammit.

This just means that Gail is going to write like a Natasha Kerensky novel or comic in the near future!
Whenever I take over BattleTech, you'll all be sorry.

BWAHAHAHA! gaming group was chatting after game and we started talking old gaming stories. And one of the players may have just "volunteered" to run Curse of Strahd for us

She mentioned she prepped so much stuff for it but the group fell through. Well... if you already have it prepped....

Well #D&D was fun tonight. Last session was mostly RP, this one we get thrown into combat. Our fighter died, killed by some mutated gnoll things. After he went down they kept chewing on him

He is one of three brothers in the group (He's the middle child) so my PC (the eldest and probably the most

For some reason I have this urge to play Diablo (The original) or a Diablo-esque game

But I don't have one at the moment. I suppose I could hook my PS1 up to the TV... but then I'd also need to find the disc. I think I know which box its hiding in.

The best way to play is always take the safe route. Possible road hazard? Go back to town. Bandits reported? Go tell the local magistrate then go take a nap. Never take risks you don't have to

Name your fav non-franchise science fiction film.

Have a bunch of fond memories of this movie from both childhood and again in my 20s

And the fact that it introduced "Deathblossom" into the gamer lexicon

Ok need some help with my #D&D homegame. I need names... for giant racing snails.

The stupider and punnier the names the better! Whacha got?

Going to be starting up a new #D&D game soon. Probably within a few weeks. Should be fun, starting at level 1 is going to be a LOT different than running things at 17

One new player to add to the group, not sure how much of a newbie she is yet. Will actually meet her soon. She's a friend of one

You know this is an interesting idea. Never really thought about this before, but it would actually be kinda neat

Coastal city is obvious but have a large city state and the surrounding area that has no magic. What kind of gods would they worship if even Divine magic doesn't work?
May your favored settings lore become complex enough that folks can make geopolitical spiritual maps of where pantheons have influence and where they are in conflict with each other 😂

Welp, finally getting dark, but also raining very heavily.

So guess we're not gonna have sky explosions tonight. But that's ok people have been setting off stuff all week anyways
