Saw some pretty ladies in the forest today

onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone icon 196

These two deer were out enjoying the lack of people and dogs on a relatively popular local trail due to the rain and heavy fog, as was I. I was being rather loud, and i think I disturbed them. I think the one on the left was a bit offended by my commentary on her scratching herself. At the end when the one on the right was cautiously approaching me, I stopped the recording while I was saying "I probably should get out of your living room and let you be." I had never had wild deer approach me like that, so I was a bit nervous that I could be misreading the deer's body language and was in fact about to be the first person to be mauled to death by a deer. She probably had correctly read me as non-threatening and was just curious about me, but even in that case I wouldn't want her to get used to humans being nice, especially since we do have hunters around here.

Video ends where it does because, while the deer on the right did look cautiously curious to me, I was worried that I might be reading her body language wrong. I don’t want to be the first person to die by being mauled by a deer.

My chinchilla Muffin, who is so startled by the flash of my camera that her eyes look like googly-eyes. She has been stopped mid-gnaw as she is exploring and pooping all over her new Christmas gift: big new wooden ledges for her to perch on while watching us work in the home office.

My chinchilla, Muffin, standing on her hind legs to try and better ascertain the optimal angle to jump onto our futon. She likely is planning to hop from there onto my wife's desk, then hop onto the windowsill, then scurry over to the printer where we keep the tasty, crunchy printer paper.

@AngryCommieKender
Muffin is a chinchilla, and she's a bit over a year old now. They are native to South America and used to be made into fur coats. It takes about 300 Muffins to make a fur coat, so the wild population was really taking a nosedive before breeders figured out how to breed them.

The biggest roadblock in breeding chinchillas, btw, is that they are such divas that they would rather starve than eat suboptimal pellets and hay, and prospective mothers' standards are even higher.

Token help?

I am going to be running a Star Wars game on Foundry in a few weeks, and I need 6 tokens for six different BBEGS that I am going to plop in front of my players all at once. Two of these are going to be very visually distinctive and impossible to create with any character profile generation tools I've found online.

How do you guys handle character tokens for unique-looking characters? I do not want to resort to ChatGPT if I have other options.

@calamitycastle The harder one is basically Doc Ock as a sith lord. Imagine: Soresu with 6 lightsabers.

The easier one is similar in spirit: mad scientist lawyer. Gold breastplate under a pinstripe suit. Sunglasses with scanning equipment. Lots of little details like that.

I have some lore questions that Google isn’t helping with:

I'm doing some baseline worldbuilding for an campaign. Could y'all enlighten me?

● So, the equivalent of cash is a credit ingot, and the equivalent of debit cards is a credstick. What's the equivalent of a flat check?

● What's the best spot in the modernish galaxy to do Lord of the Rings in space?

● If Obi-Wan (or any Soresu master) fell to the dark side, how would you describe their fighting style?

General vibes, really. Heroic arthurian knights, mythic quests for noble heros, restoring a rightful heir to the throne who magically has both fantastic administration skills and a good moral compass.

The main plotline is an interpretation of the Merovingian Dynasty conspiracy, just to give you an idea of what's going on. (According to some crackpots, the Priory of Sion is a secret organization to install leaders into world govs who are literally descended from Jesus Christ.)

Can't argue with that. But usually when I'm interested in a series I watch the episodes of each season in a random order, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to accidentally start with the shit parts.

@jewbacca117

Long story. When I was a kid, I found a cool semi-epistolary 8-book series at my school library about a modern-day kid named Pendragon hopping through a portal to save alternate timelines. It was so cool to me that the series jumped around in time so we had to figure out when we were in Pendragon's timeline. Turns out my school shelved them in alphabetical order, and they also lacked the first and last books. I had a blast & I've been trying to recreate that experience ever since.

Golems for Paladins?

Ok, so I've been hammering away at my homebrew ttrpg-wargame and I decided to give clerics the ability to conjure troops. Different alignments get different things. So far, I've given clay golems to the good alignment, flesh golems to the evil alignment, and awakening plants to the chaotic alignment. I am unsure what to give to ...

Muffin's 2nd favorite birthday present

She did like the hay cubes more than this. I think it was because the hay cubes are each the size of her head, which is possibly the biggest treat she has ever gotten to eat.

She actually does not like being pet. She tolerates it as part of interacting with her humans, and she will climb all over me if able, but touching the royal person is usually forbidden. What she wants here is to be let out for floor time!

No. Everywhere is the bathroom. Especially for girls; girls sometimes express their displeasure by spraying urine at you. Muffin doesn't do that, though.

@LilB0kChoy
Fun story about that: last week, Muffin was running around on our futon enjoying being somewhere she wasn't supposed to be, when she suddenly turned around, looked me dead in the eyes, and made a face I can best describe as "toddler pooping in diaper". She left a wet spot there as big as her that soaked all the way down to the mattress, which thankfully had a waterproof cover.

Nope. That said, they barely pee for a critter their size. They are very water-efficient desert critters. Their poop goes everywhere, though.

Low-fantasy D&D aliens?

rpg@ttrpg.network icon rpg

I want to stick aliens 👽🛸 into my next D&D campaign. My idea is to have little grey men show up in a flying saucer and abduct the party. However, I'm worried that this is too comprehensible for the average character. I want the PCs to be confused, but not the players! What's the weirdest alien you've ever thrown at your D&D party?

Side note, I also want to give the baddies . How do I mechanically handle this?

Shkshkshk OP ,
@Shkshkshk@dice.camp avatar

@Legit_Spaghetti rpg@ttrpg.network icon rpg

You actually gave me a different great idea. In my setting, we have all the normal fantasy stuff, but the elves are robots who often modify their bodies to do stuff like have plasma cannons hidden in their arms or directly interface with the GPS satellites. I think something like the Borg would be a great way to handle half-elves.

Shkshkshk OP ,
@Shkshkshk@dice.camp avatar

@tokensane rpg@ttrpg.network icon rpg

In my setting magic is superscience left over from the first age. Could be nanites in everything, could be something weirder. The players casting spells is similar to if your dog figured out how to say "Alexa, all lights on" and realized saying those magic words created light.

Also, the aliens are going to be demons, sort of, being the children of the Fear of the Other and the Fear of the Incomprehensible. Not that the aliens or PCs would know this. So magic will work fine.

Muffin desires destruction!

aww@lemmy.world icon aww

My chinchilla, Muffin, is investigating my Crocs to see if they are tasty. Each time she goes to bite them, I move them away. Eventually, she gets fed up with me moving HER shoe and opts to sit on it. I resort to touching the royal personage, which of course is high treason. She flees, then tries to eat my baseboards out of spite. Interestingly, Crocs are, in fact, edible if boiled. I don't think Muffin would think they taste good, though. She's just here for the destruction. For example, she has figured out that there is a gap under the door visible at the end of the video, and she's determined to widen it enough to fit herself under it. I don’t think I'm getting my security deposit back.

Had a dream last night I was overdressed

@autism

I got called to HR and the lady there informed me that they had gotten several complaints about me being overdressed. She emphasized, "We do medium dress here."

I look down at my button-up shirt and khakis. Seems "medium" to me. I ask for clarification.

"It's between semi-casual and business casual."

I ask her to clarify what I'm doing wrong.

She says that I should "dress medium".
