It should have been done earlier for me - I've grown tired enough I don't care.

Meh, guess I'll be left in the wind.

So I make and sell stuff like scarves and dice bags and hats and embroidered stuff and rice heat bags, and I made a 7ft long scarf for the GM of my D&D group. I sent it to him along with four snickers bars as a bribe for 'please don't kill us all off' as our characters are about to undertake the riskiest thing they've ever done, particularly my character.

today I got a letter from him with 10$ more than what I charged and a note that thanked me for the scarf, with a ps that said " your bribery has been noted and filed for the upcoming hardships in game"

Ah yes, the good 'ol "bribe the DM" trick.

Always works.

And it's so nice to have a proper computer again.

Oh really when?

Bribing the DM can work, but at other points the DM wants to make you suffer, if you've not been that great.

I should know.

The DM we have is actually really great. no one has died yet, he doesn't go easy on us, but he doesn't try to kill us all either. of course, we bribe him. when we all lived in the same city and didn't use internet for game, I would bring soup or ice cream. Marci would bring cream cheese frosting to put on bread. it was so good that the DM decided not to have the cave we bedded down in be filled with badgermoles.

he really likes to see us shine, too, so he works in our back stories—we were all english majors so our characters all have 5 page backstories full of details he uses, and it's just so great.

he once gave me bonus exp because I started sobbing when something emotional happened. another time someone else got bonus exp for making puns, but that rule soon got thrown out. now we loose exp if we make more than two puns in a row.

I love my group.

[up]Given that the last game I really had to punish a player in was Dark Heresy, and I did it by making the character aware of their situation but unable to do anything, in utter agony and unable to die except a very hard will power test... well, let's say the munchkin in question learned you don't try and make yourself a literal tank unless you want me to abuse it.

I guess that makes sense. We are both omnivores. Our diets are similar in that we both eat so much garbage.

GO THE F*CK TO SLEEP, SQUIRREL FRIEND.

I made a squirrel friend last week and it just sits in the tree outside my window and chitters at me. It's 10:30 at night. the squirrel should be sleeping.

I'm fairly certain it is trying to communicate with me.

After the first three, I thought it was just going to be more violent computer hijinks. but it had a pretty cute ending.

Regarding accents of the British Isles, I came across a show on PBS called Clodagh's Irish Food Trails, which is basically a food-focused travel show crossing Ireland once, and I'd love to watch it just to let the accents of the Irish countryside wash over me.

The Squirrel friend went to sleep. but I think the squirrels have chosen me to be their Champion. I've read enough children's fantasy novels to know where this is headed.
