The Grid and the Ghost: A Soft-Cyborg’s Guide to Psyche and Soul

(1) The Linguistic Stutter The cursor on my screen is a rhythmic, glowing pulse. It is the heartbeat of a binary ghost, a small white rectangle of light that blinks with the mechanical patience of an entity that never sleeps. I sit here in the quiet hours, a "soft-cyborg" tethered to a vast network of...

Stann Finds (a) God

Been a bit since I've updated the state of the campaign for Stann (fighter/monk). Currently we are in the keep of some undead lord asshole while he's out of town (in Avernus). We're gonna take out some magical flame things that keep him from being susceptible to death. As we are clearing out the various floors of the keep on our way up, we came upon the story of this lord (Soth) from before he became undead and all that. Turns out he was an asshole then too. A really good Medicine check by Stann...

So The Blue Dragon Army Knows We're Here And Has A Hostage

Tuesday's session was combat free but still a good time. Post fight we looted the big Blue Dragon Lieutenant's body, got a nice longsword and a Ring Of Lightning Resistance which our Wizard will take. Hid out under a bridge and some illusions while some young blue dragons came through and looked for us. Then hide out and did a short rest. Stann got to interrogate a Blue Dragon Army Officer we captured. Used his Dagger Of Returning, throwing it very close to his balls and then it comes back to hi...

Stann's First Session

I was excited to play Stann in my campaign last night and it went better than I'd hoped. So Stann shows up in the central city of the campaign just in time for his brother Dann's funeral. See, Dann was born a tiefling to an orc family, and they couldn't handle that. After 13 years, they sold him to a passing merchant. Stann is 10 years older, saw this happen and left - angry at his parents for their actions. Just more proof they couldn't accept anyone who wasn't a perfect traditional orc. See, S...

Oops All Monks: Session 0

Had a great Session 0 last night for the upcoming Oops All Monks! campaign. I like the setup that we all have 3 levels of some other class and then came to the monastery to improve ourselves in some way and become monks. Looks like the party is going to have: Half the party being Shadow Monks is pretty fun too - it's been teased that the BBEG will be a former student at the monastery that went bad and he's a Shadow Monk too. Could make for some very interesting storytelling.

Early Art/Inspiration for Stann (+ Dann memorial art)

I had commissioned new artwork for Dann (the now dead Aberrant Sorecerer) just a few days before he died. So it's now a memorial. In the last session, the first after his death (I had to miss the session so actually good timing) the party mourned Dann. His ashes were interred under the city's keep as a hero and they commissioned a portrait of him in his honor. Which is great timing because the artist I found to do the new Dann portrait just finished the work and it looks great! So now I'm commis...

Joining A Second Campaign: Oops, All Monks!

A DM in a Discord server I'm in had an idea to try running a limited all monks campaign. Of COURSE I'm down for that. It'll be 10 sessions, every other week for like 10 sessions. He's making it so we all are 3 levels of anything else + 3 levels of monk - like we abandoned our old life to start over as monks and we are graduating with our monk subclasses. He also says if you pick a 2014 background and aren't Human, you can pick any feat at level 1

Some Impromptu D&D

Ended up playing an impromptu D&D session last night run by a DM whose Discord I'm on. Spun up Gorg, a Cloud Giant Goliath, Path Of The World Tree Barbarian. He's a roadie, a professional stoner, and likes smacking things with his mace in his free time between tours he works for as a way to get extra weed money. The first half of the night kinda dragged with shopping and wandering the town we were in. It's was a nice beach town full of kuatoa. Gorg spent it getting stoned.

Stann, Fighter + Warrior Of Mercy Monk

So Dann is dead. Long live Dann! Now I had to figure out a new character to take his place in the campaign. I decided to go with family. Since Dann was born to orcish parents and shunned (then later sold away) because he came out a tiefling, I figured why not a brother. An older brother, 10 years older, who saw his family sell Dann. A brother who had his own shame - born sickly and weak for an orc. His father gave him an Amulet Of Health when he was young and told him to hide it and hide his tru...

"Dapper" Dann, RIP

A few months ago I decided, with the other campaign I was in with family stalled out, I wanted to be in a long running campaign again. So I looked at startplaying.games and found an ongoing campaign that had one slot open. I joined as a level 10 Aberrant Sorcerer, my first ever full caster. The DM was great, running a session 0 for me to make sure I was a good fit (and his table was a good fit for me) and he even helped me flesh out a backstory as to WHY Dann was an Aberrant Sorcerer. I'd alread...

I didn't get into actually playing D&D until the pandemic. A friend who had moved out to the East Coast invited me in to his virtual tabletop. I joined as a total himbo fighter named Maximilian Ironmonger. I had no idea what I was doing, and fumbled my intro to the party pretty awkwardly. But I got into the swing of it and had a great time. At one point we met a Deva named Bob who had a fancy mace, and Max used a mace too, so I jsut started asking Bob about his mace. One of the other players sai...
