(Zombie apocalypse thing, the zombies are based more from the dead island series but completely seperate universe so there's more creative freedom. Looking for a more oc x oc though romance is not required. I also don't expect you to match my starter but please reply with more than 2 sentences as well as be 21+ cause I'm 25. My character is trans in this as well.)
Perhaps the apocalypse wasn't completely terrible, sure more than half the population was reduced to rotting cannibals but it wasn't all bad. Humanity had more of a chance now than ever with the race against global warming, now they only had to figure out a way to stop the seemingly endless hordes. But the animal population was slowly recovering along with most of the plant life. Multiple groups had popped up all over the place, many offering a safe haven and many more offering such with a little extra in the fine print. Most if not all these days were rather strict with their intake rules, three years into the apocalypse would make you cautious, and some were down right hostile towards everyone. Lone survivors weren't much better, too skittish to trust anyone and rarely give anyone to prove they're trustworthy or not. Casey sat quietly on a branch, watching the little settlement he'd stumbled upon. There didn't seem to be too many people around so perhaps it was new or just a group passing by, either way it could prove to be a source for a quick meal- or a quick way to end up dead. The little gas station seemed fairly secure, chain link fence all the way around with roughly made spike traps to fend off any of the dead, and what appeared to be a look out set up on the top of it. At least one person was currently there going off the fact he could make out the shape of someone hunched over doing only what he could assume was sharpening another spear. There was a stench but it wasn't too strong so there wasn't any active danger from the dead, not to mention it was awfully quiet as well. Taking a deep breath Casey shifted around before inching his way down from his spot, landing with a soft thump. "Okay, you've got this.. Just a quick scouting job, nothing you haven't done before.." If it was too dangerous he could bounce no problem, the area was safe ish after all. Picking up his backpack Casey started off, circling around towards the back of the gas station.

I don't like how seasons just keep getting shorter and shorter. My only issue with this is that they practically force this model on almost every show nowadays. There are absolutely some shows that would work best with 6 or 8 episodes but they force shows that would have greatly benefited from more episodes into this episode count as well. There should be variety and be based on the type of show it is. If it's a sitcom then 20 episodes, if it's a serialized drama then 13 episodes and so on.
I just miss hanging out with characters I love in low stakes and casual settings. It's nice to breathe for a moment and do some world building and character development that's not directly related to the plot. It can strengthen our bond with the characters and explore more of the lore and world.
People have mentioned TV shows being more expensive but honestly? Why not make TV show budgets again instead of trying to reach movie quality? I like how creative they can get with limited budgets.
It's just so disappointing to see so many great shows being forced with only 6-8 episodes when I know it would be much better and flow better with more episodes. I've seen so many shows just feel so rushed and fast paced that I just can't take a breather.
It also doesn't help that we only get 6-8 episodes a season and sometimes have to wait 2-3 years for the next one. At that point I just give up. I lost interest. That's if we even get renewed bc they never give shows enough time to gain an audience like older shows.
13-16 is the perfect amount of episodes for a fully serialized show. It gives us more time with the characters and world, gives us moments to chill out and have more calm moments and time to build up to things more effectively.
This is just my opinion though, just before anybody hates on me this isn't me saying 6-8 episode seasons are bad. They are great when they are what the story calls for. I'm specifically talking about the shows that needed more episodes. I hope I don't get destroyed in the comments 😫

So for the longest time I was one of the people who truly believed that we were gonna lose a few members of the crew and potentially law using the surgery to safe luffy.
Fast forward to where we are and I’m more inclined to the side that everyone will survive and get their happy ending. Had Luffy not said what his dream was off screen I would be inclined to say some people were gonna bite the dust that being usopp, robin and possibly franky. There are people who I can see dying Such as Law, Kid, members of the grand fleeet, people from water 7 and people from fishman island and there’s one major key character I don’t see dying but being injured again thus making him retire that being shanks.
I think the bigger question is what happens to the future pirate king? I honestly think who “death flag” may not gone to pass because killing luffy is gonna either be a happy but sad ending or it’s gonna get so heated that it turns out to be the worst decision.
To me there is only one way to end one piece and it’s how it all began Luffy hands over the straw hat to the next person to carry on the legacy and the chapter being called Romance Dawn.

So I'm working on a little subplot in my Outlaws of Alkenstar game, trying to develop an in-game reason to explain away one of the PCs' - a halfling fighter - leave of absence (as the player goes off to do a summer job and can't make the game for a few months). Since one of the PCs is a sorcerer and I'm using magic surges/manastorms in our game, I figured that when the time is right and the sorcerer casts a spell, a magic surge will strike, opening a portal into a shadowy alternate dimension, from which something horrible (or several somethings horrible) will spew.
My player who is leaving will be ready for this, (the rest of the party has no idea this is coming) and at some point i'll give him an opening to heroically force the creature back into the portal, or tackle it back through the portal, disrupting it and dragging the creature back to wherever it came from, sacrificing himself, leaving only his trusty frying pan (his main weapon) behind... And then in a few months when he can return I'll just have another magic surge portal open up and he'll pop back out like Robin Williams in Jumanji. During his time away he has a ton of time to think of some cool stories for where his character has been and has accomplished so we can level him up to where the players are.
This part is all pretty much worked out, but I'm not super literate on all the crazy monsters in PF2E (and 1E), I know there's a ton of cool creatures in PF and I was hoping to petition the hive mind for some suggestions on an appropriate/scary creature (or horde of creatures) that would be coming out of an extra-planar portal to devour my party or whatever.
For context, the party will be only be level 3 or 4, and this will probably occur sometime just before or after (or during?) the chase through Hellside when the Aghash is after them (Chapter 3 of Punks in a Powderkeg). The sorcerer whose spell surges and opens this portal to somewhere is a shadow sorcerer, so something with some shadowy flavor is ideal. I'm not really too concerned with level, I can always scale up or down, and it'll just last a couple rounds most likely. Any ideas?

I was in an abusive relationship for 4 years and with a few toxic friends because of it. One of the things that took place in this relationship was making free art and designs for characters. I was a really skilled artist and a lot of my friends would expect it, especially if I was giving these pieces of art as gifts.
Would it be morally reprehensible to sell these unpaid for and unused designs online? I don't really want them associated with me, nor do I want to have them around anymore, but at the same time I feel like it's something that I don't want to do if it's an action out of hate or anger. I'm just not sure if that thought is due to the indoctrination into a toxic mindset that things that I was obligated to make due to pressure are still theirs.
If I could get some opinions, that would be great! I can't really go to friends about this because I know they'll say yes no matter what.

I wanted to recommend this new podcast called Mortal Lands, which is dedicated to the Sarah J. Maas books, but is currently focusing on ACOTAR. There are currently three main episodes out, covering the first 34 chapters of the first book. Even though this is a reread by the hosts, they keep it spoiler-free and do a great job of bringing the perspective of a first-time reader. There are new episodes on Mondays and bonus episodes on Wednesdays, where they include full series spoilers. Also, there are currently no ads.
They do spend a bit of time each episode on summarizing the chapters, but this is mostly interlaced with commentary. The banter is hilarious – I posted some lines I found funny, but it’s even better on audio with the actual delivery:

• On Feyre’s dad: “I just want to chop off all his toes.”
• On Feyre's hygiene: “So when they’re trying to be nice to her and he says that she’s clean… And she takes it as flattery. I don’t think she realized how much she stunk. Think about when you’re pregnant and you’re High Fae and your smelling has to be beyond that of a pregnant mortal female, right? … You smell something that stinks, you vomit. Like the sheer will of these people to not be throwing up…So it was probably actually a really nice compliment. Like, ‘Oh, you can get clean, I really didn’t think it was possible. You are so stinky that I am genuinely shocked by how clean you can become.’”
• On the film adaptation: “How do you watch something with someone in a mask? There's going to be so many close-up shots... lip shots. Him licking his lips, just being like, 'Mmm, that breakfast was good.'”
• On crafting Lucien’s eye: “Tamlin just went to the blacksmith and said, ‘I know you’re normally doing hoofs, but... do you think you can make an eye? How do you feel about balls?’”
• On Calanmai: “Didn’t it feel like such a line? To me, it gave such frat party, like ‘Oh, we’re just creating magic for the land. Oh, this is for the land.’ … I think it’s such a line. It’s like, ‘Oh, by the way, fae women or fae females, don’t worry, we have to do this for the crops. Like, this has to happen for the crops. Oh, no, there’s no other way. This is the only way for the crops.’”
• On Alice’s appearance when Feyre sees through the glamour: “I literally bet she transformed. Not only was her skin tree bark, but then in my mind, her head became like a tree. And just like it’s cut off at the top. Like Groot. Alice turned into Groot.”
• On Feyre drinking fairy wine: “I think she chugged the first drink. I don’t know, in my mind, or maybe I just made that up. In my mind, Lucian’s like, ‘Don’t do that,‘ and she chugged it. She was like, I’m taking this in a one-er… She got the funnel. Like Sarah J. Maas describes getting the funnel and just like drinking it.”

Why did the farmer visit the pharmacy? To speak with the farm-assist.
Hi and welcome to my post! Wanted to start off with a funny to me dad joke.
Nice to meet you, I'm Dylan! To put it simple, I am a single 22 year old man who has been pretty lonely in life and lacking in female connection and interaction. And part of what comes with that is the desire to be intimate with a person. I am very mature for my age and will always be respectful of your boundaries and feelings, especially with anything sexual. Lately all I have is myself when it comes to sexual desires, so I would like to have someone to keep company with in that regard too.
I'm just relaxing at work since there's nothing really going on and thinking about going home tonight and burning a woodwick candle. Perfect for when there's a storm outside. I love candles! 🕯️ Sometimes a campfire outside on a fall night or a crackling WoodWick candle is a relaxing constant among our busy and hectic world. It's nice to just disconnect, feel grounded and happy in your own little cozy space. Feeling calm and collected and at peace. Something that fewer people take the time to do these days.
I am seeking a woman around my age or older to build a close connection with that could possibly lead to a relationship and something intimate which includes the possibility of teasing/sharing pics etc. but only when we were comfortable. Figured I would be open in my Intentions as that's the best way to be.
You:
Kind, respectful, and easy going.
Comfortable with the idea of eventually sharing intimate things together.
Willing to eventually move off of Reddit.
Want something genuine and fun!
Are honest in your intentions and a good person to be around!
That's about it, we will get along great I know it.
I've been feeling a little bummed out lately. I always try and stay happy and see the best in things. But.. I've just been so alone. Most of my whole childhood and adult years have been spent feeling lonely. I grew up surrounded by cornfields which was peaceful but also has a lonely aspect to it. My family never really were close and never did anything as a family really. And part of it too is the fact that I never had any neighbors my age to interact with. But aside from that, my adult life has been very lonely. I'm just always by myself. I barely have any meaningful adult relationships or experiences, or even any friends.
I work a 3-11 job in building maintenance at my company world headquarters building which I love, but again it's very lonely. I work the off shift so the building is always empty. I don't get normal social interaction with people my age or a chance to build relationships. I only have 3 older men as co-workers and we are mostly in the basement away from any people on the floors from knowing our existence. I always walk the floors and see office people laughing and chatting with their coworkers and I just don't have that kind of experience. And just.. no one knows I exist really. Everyone probably assumes I have a lot of friends, but I'm struggling inside with being so alone and trying to meet people and get past the "hi how are you?" "I'm good thanks" stage. Most people don't seem to want to talk beyond that. And most women are already in relationships and thus it would seem weird to approach them in an office setting trying to get to know them deeper. But man those "hi how are yous" are the only real interactions I get during my day.. so thus I decided to come here lol. Rant over, sorry! I promise I'm not a downer. 😅
Now for some things about me!
As you can tell, I am very mature for my age and am polite and have good grammar which unfortunately not everyone my age does anymore lol. I am not active at all on social media/internet culture really and don't know much about all the slang the younger people these days use. I feel like I'm 50. 🤣
I am left handed which is pretty cool. I'm not much of a party person or a drinker, I much prefer a quiet night at home and maybe a beer or two on a weekend but that's about it. I am simple and stay out of drama and trouble and don't get much into politics or other things that cause drama with people. I much prefer a relaxing campfire and a night at home and to just let the world keep on turning haha. I consider myself pretty intelligent and mature, especially for my age which is why I'm open to older ladies.
Physically I'm 180 pounds, have brown hair, green eyes, and a typical build. There's a few pictures on my profile.
Some of my hobbies are:
• Photography
I have a Nikon D200 and D5500 that I love to shoot with. I love nature scenes, abstract, black and white/goth kinda photography, sunsets, etc. it's so fun to just let your mind explore. It's not about what camera you have, but those who are behind the camera! I'm gonna try and photograph the northern lights tonight!
• Cooking and baking
I loveeee to cook and bake! I enjoy making various meals but also love to just have a frozen pizza once in awhile or something like that. I recently made homemade chili which turned out great. I love to bake, especially in the fall! I love pies, cakes, pastries, cookies, etc. I restored a vintage KitchenAid mixer that needed tbe gearbox rebuilt. Eventually I would love to practice home canning my own food.
• Music
Oh my gosh, I like so much!! Alternative rock, punk, post punk, electronic, synth pop, psychedelic rock, hard rock, etc. I am very non judgemental and open when it comes to music. My three current favorite bands are Type O Negative, Joy Division, and the Cure.
• Nature walks and camping
I really enjoy camping, making fires, and relaxing by a campfire. I love to take walks outside and just enjoy the beauty and simplicity of nature. It's wonderful, especially in a world so focused on everything digital.
• Repairing things
I'm a maintenance guy and one of my hobbies is electronics repair so I am good with my hands and just all around good at troubleshooting and fixing all sorts of things around the house. Last week I helped my elderly neighbor get his tractor started, it needed a new component in the starting circuit. So I'm pretty handy which... Comes in handy! 😂
• Autumn 🍁
This isn't a hobby per say, but man do I love the fall!!! It's my absolute favorite time of the year. Oh my gosh. The beautiful colors, crisp cool air, misty and foggy days, rain, lack of bugs, being cuddled up with a candle or by the fire drinking a tea, etc. I love it! There's only two seasons for me. Fall, and waiting for fall! Haha.
• Scented Candles and incense
Going along with my love for fall, I absolutely love candles! I have like 30 something lol. 😂 Currently my favorite are WoodWick, which are owned by Yankee candle. They have such a soothing crackle and the scents are great! I also love to burn incense from time to time as well. I have cottagecore hippie vibes.
• Old houses and architecture
I love old houses! Especially 1900s and Victorian era homes. Old homes have so much character to them and are just so beautiful from a time when people took pride in their craft. I strongly dislike the modern cookie cutter cheap construction of homes today. I would love to live in an old home one day. I also love their architecture and uniqueness, as well as architecture of old cathedrals and other buildings.
• Relaxing
Basic I know, but sometimes on the weekend I just love to get cozy in bed and relax and put on a YouTube video or an album! 😊
That's about it for me, I'm a pretty laid back and simple person. My ideal person is someone who is respectful and honest! I am very straightforward and open minded and would hope that you are as well.
If I seem interesting to you at all I would love to hear from you!
Thank you so much for reading.

So I wrote a long essay questioning actions and whether they are emotional abuse but I also feel like I just came here to vent, like I do in my journals, and have focussed on the negatives.
I want to preface this by saying my partner is one of the most supportive and encouraging partners that I have ever had. We make each other laugh daily, we say the same things at the same time, we generally like the same things (but that could also be a product of our time). He's the best communicator that I have been with (that may something about my relationships). Although, I have realised, and he has also pointed out, that I am a people pleaser at heart. It's something I am trying to work on.
We have been together just shy of six months. We both have PTSD, he has ADHD and we both have mood disorders, which I have been hospitalised for. In the past year we have both had suicidal ideation - so there is perhaps some trauma bonding there. But he has said that my illness is also a super power.
In the last year and a half he got out of an abusive relationship with his ex-fiancee. She got incredibly sick and he became her carer. He said the love from the relationship had been gone for the last three years they were together.
When we first got together he said that there were some red flags - I was still friends with some of my exes and people I had had sex with, and he said that that was something he wasn't comfortable with, so I swiftly removed them from my life. He is uncomfortable with how many sexual partners I have had and said that he thought I didnt value sex the same way as him.
We both had hard backgrounds growing up, mine involved parents in active addiction and low socio-economic status, but that changed when I got a new family and was accepted into a good school. He points out that I now come from a 'privileged' family. He came from a small country town, and has built his life up by himself, going through uni and working multiple jobs. He is quick to dismiss my favourite music, and has disdain for the school that I went to, which I often speak of in high regard. I feel like he always finds faults in things that I love. Edit: that's a lie, he has encouraged me to reconnect with friends and encourages me to do the things I love, like sport.
Recently I moved out of a share house where it ended poorly, with a former housemate calling me 'passive aggressive' - I explained the situation to him and why I didn't think I had been passive aggressive and said that I was hurt by that accusation. In the last couple of days I have been emotional and we had an instance where I got up and left the situation because I was feeling sad and overwhelmed. That evening he asked me if there was anything wrong, but it didn't feel like a calm question, but more of an accusation "Is everything OKAY? and that felt that he had been walking on egg shells. He said that I had been passive aggressive and childish. I read up about passive aggression and saw that I most definitely could have been in that situation, so I apologised and said that it was something I would work on, to actively identify it if it happens again, and to correct myself if I think I am doing it. He told me that passive aggression is a deal breaker, he had been in childish relationships before and saw it as his feet getting colder and that he would not stay in a relationship like that. He said that he can't know what I'm thinking and that if I 'turn on him' he would leave. To his merit, he did say that he wants to be with me, and work on this relationship, but it is not the first time he has said that something I have done has made him feel like it is a 'red flag' and he would leave the relationship.
He always talks about how he has a great memory, and brings up stuff I have said in the past, or gets shitty with me if I don't remember something that we have talked about. The other night we were talking about a TV show, and he said he had never seen it (and was adamant that he would remember it if we had). I said that we had and then spoke about a prominent character. Again, he said he had never seen it. When I described a scene with another famous actor, he went 'oh yeah, we have watched that'. He then said his memory was 'selective'.
There are other instances where I have apologised as he has said "I didn't say that" or "I didn't do that" and I have said "oh, I must have remembered it wrong, or maybe it was a dream?" - I have had dreams in the past where I wake up and have thought we had a conversation and have had to clarify if it really happened. I don't get upset with anyone about it, I just say "Hey, I think I dreamt this last night, can you confirm if it happened?"
I just don't want to feel like I am always misremembering or mishearing. I don't want to use the word 'gaslighting' because I know it is thrown around a lot nowadays.
Generally we are pretty good when we say something that could be accusatory or upsetting - "Can you please clarify what you meant by that?" but as a people pleaser, I feel like I am the one constantly saying sorry. I brought up to him that I am not good at telling him 'in the moment' when I am upset, which he does, he always says things like "no, I don't like that / what you did / what you said." I don't want to tell him, or accuse him, of doing something I don't like, or bring up past stuff and say something like "you always do this and I hate it when you do that/it makes me feel this way, etc' so we said that when I get upset, I would sit on it, and try not to ruminate, but come back to it in 10 - 30 minutes and explain why I felt a certain way. When we've said or done something that may have hurt the other's feelings, we often come back ten minutes later and apologise. I find that he is quick to react and get defensive about things, and that it is more often than not, me coming back to apologise.
So, I think I am here to vent because I don't really have anyone else to talk to about this, but I also realise that I am focussing on the negatives with this post. I am not perfect either. We both do stupid shit and we will hurt each others feelings, I'm just hoping for some advice to either educate me on what is emotional abuse and ways to protect myself.

By popular demand, I guess...
I was kinda just being a smart-ass, but some of you wanted more so here it is: epilogues for every NPC as if they didn't continue to travel with Gorion's Ward and instead just decided to live their own life. Obviously, there are some implied alignment changes here.
This turned out to be longer than I expected and I kinda just threw it all together while I was working. Please excuse any typos or sloppy writing.
I want to apologize for one thing, though. Viconia's epilogue really only works if GW is a male, so I had to make that assumption for the sake of her story. If it matters any, I easily play just as many female GWs as I do male GWs. In fact, I probably play more female GWs because I don't care for the romances, frequently play the canon party, and want to nip the lame Jah romance in the bud.
But, to have them all in one place, I included my original smart-ass epilogues with the additional ones I created. Now, every character from BG1 and BG2 has an epilogue. I don't have the EE characters, though, because I play the original games and don't really know them.
So, just for funsies, which one is your favorite and why?
"Anomen continued to wait at the Copper Coronet for a party of adventurers willing to travel with him. Maybe it was the grating sound of his voice, or perhaps the way he leered at women, but he continued to remain alone. Eventually, he needed to find work to make ends meet. With Gorion's Ward having disbanded the slave traders and pit fights, Hendak had to find a new form of entertainment for the patrons. As such, he invented an all male review ladies night, and Anomen found work as a 'dancer'. He left the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart to join the less noble order of the pole. He also renounced his faith to Helm and instead allied himself with Waukeen because if you wanna see some groin, you gotta have some coin."
"Despite Gorion's Ward clearing the trolls from her keep, Nalia was not able to reclaim her lands and instead lost her estate to Lord Roenall. The lord offered to let her retain residence in her family's ancestral home, but only in exchange for her hand in marriage. Nalia found the proposition to be repugnant. Instead, she salvaged whatever wealth she could from her family's keep and moved to Athkatla to start a new life. She no longer helped the less fortunate, as she was now among their numbers and had her own problems. Nalia's lack of any practical skills combined with her sense of entitlement sent her into a life of failure followed by drinking and debauchery. She now spends more time back at the Copper Coronet than anywhere else. It is hard to say where she squanders her wealth more, the alcohol, or on the dancers during Ladies Night."
"After the incident with the Planar Sphere, Valygar was finally free of his past, could retire to his cabin, and pursue his true passion: writing. Ironically, the only inspiration he found ended up stemming from his family's checkered past. Valygar's only works that even had middling success were 'Tuesdays with Lavok' and 'Dude, Where's My Planar Sphere', with the latter being made into a production at the Five Flagoons Theater."
"Haer'Dalis continued to work as a performer at the Five Flagoons Theater. Unfortunately, it struggled due to poor management. It might have turned out better if an outside agent with fresh ideas had stepped in, but Gorion's Ward had better things to do than be a bard. While the work was generally steady, the returns were not great and the material was a little low-brow for Haer'Dalis' liking. The tiefling realized he reached rock bottom when he was cast as the lead in a play about a buffoon who apparently lost a plane-shifting apparatus the size of a small castle and had to find it before his parents returned from Neverwinter. After the opening night, he took his own life in his dressing room. His body was found the next morning with a note saying, 'Art is dead and I am art, so I shall join art in death.' Biff the Understudy stepped in for Haer'Dalis despite never having an opportunity to read the script. Nevertheless, the production was a resounding success and launched Biff's career to new heights."
“A heartbroken Garrick found work as a character actor at the Five Flagoons Theater, but eventually gained more success as a writer and director. He found it to be a mostly agreeable situation, aside from a tiefling primadonna who would constantly belittle his work and call it ”trite" and “drivel”. Fortunately, that situation worked itself out in time and Garrick found Biff to be much easier to direct. With the tiefling gone, his ideas had room to grow. He invented a new kind of love story, one where the protagonist doesn't always get the girl at the end but the journey to that ending would be quite amusing. He labeled this genre “the Comedy of Romance” and the works were mostly based on his own life. His plays were quite popular among the commoners, with his top selling shows being 'Sleepless in Saradush', 'Silverymoon Linings Playbook', and 'Crazy Rich Aasimars'. He eventually fully transitioned off the stage into the director's chair. By the peak of his fame, he was married to none other than Queen Ellesime."
“Aerie continued to work at the circus and WOULD NOT SHUT UP ABOUT HER DAMN WINGS. Even Quayle eventually grew sick of hearing about it. This put strain on their relationship. Things took a turn for the better when Ribald Barterman acquired a new curiosity for his shop. It was a magical ring which he sold to Quayle at a reduced rate out of sympathy. This ”treasure" was actually a cursed Ring of Deafness, which Quayle found to be anything but a curse and wore it for the rest of his days."
“Xzar and Montaron were both slain at the hands of the Athkatla Harpers, but this is actually where their story begins. Xzar, as he had done so many times before, had a backup plan of an arcane nature should death befall either he or the halfling. Their mortal essences were pulled to a pocket plane he created. There they could be channeled into restored bodies cloned at his estate. With this particular round of ritual, Xzar had incidentally made a slight error in the incantation and the two found themselves in a time suspended state in Xzar's pocket plane. It was only five minutes for the rest of the world, but it was fifty years for them. This turned out to be a pivot point in their relationship. Having only each other's company in this shadowy void, they were finally able to work out their feelings for each other. When they had returned to the prime material plane, they discovered their mutual animosity was replaced with love. Rather than pick up their life where they left off with the Zhentarim, they decided to pack it all in, moved to Bryn Shander, and start a bed and breakfast. Montaron rediscovered his halfling roots and love for the culinary arts while Xzar would perform seances to connect guests with their late loved ones. Scones and Bones became an overnight success and was consistently listed as a “must see” in Volo's travel guides. In their golden years, the couple co-wrote a memoir of their journey, ‘Brokeback Montaron’, which is sold in bookstores everywhere."
“After briefly crossing paths with Gorion's Ward, Mazzy Fentan continued her crusade as a de facto halfling paladin. She eventually found herself petitioning for membership at the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart in Athkatla after she had singlehandedly saved a village from an ancient dracolich. Despite the extent of her virtue and accomplishment, her petition was denied on the basis that halflings could not possibly be real paladins. This inspired her next crusade, one to break down vocational barriers for all demihuman races. Why couldn't halflings be paladins or dwarves be wizards? And why did gnomes always have to be illusionists? It simply made no goddamn sense. She began to get traction with her quest when she attended lectures by the wizards of the (sword) coast in Candlekeep. With their help, she ushered Faerun into a new edition era where there would be no vocational barriers for adventurers based on their race. Soon, the world began to see roguish halflings that also venerated Helm, while tending to the wilds as a druid. Half-orc bards also studied as wizards while manifesting natural arcane abilities as sorcerers. Tiefling paladins took their crusades to the wilderness and served as rangers, while sidelining as clergy to Mystra. The world was now a liberated place, free to not make any goddamn sense in a myriad of new ways. At one point, Lady Mazzy Fentan of Trademeet (now formally a paladin) crossed paths with a dwarven shadowdancebard and in that moment she regretted everything. Seriously, just take a moment and picture that. It would look fucking ridiculous.”
“Yeslick's clanhome was flooded once again. Despondent and without options, he took work at a smithy in Baldur's Gate but never stopped dreaming of finding both a clan and a home. He found a way to bring this dream to life after a courageous halfling paladin broke down the barriers for, among other things, dwarves to be wizards. Yeslick had an idea. He studied magic diligently until he was able to cast two spells of great importance: Water Breathing and Permanence. He then searched the lands for other clanless dwarves who would be willing to try something new. With the new clan he formed, Yeslick permanently gave all his fellow clansman the ability to breath underwater. They then moved into the flooded Cloakwood Mines and built the first underwater dwarven stronghold. Using his arcane powers, Yeslick also developed the ability to speak with the marine life that shared this stronghold. And, with that, the clan Aquadwarf was born. At one point, Valygar visited and wrote a play based on Yeslick's story. However, he couldn't even get it to stage at the Five Flagoons Theater. The illustrious director Garrick was quoted as saying, “A hero that can breath underwater and talk to fish? Nobody would go for that!"
“Keldorn finally retired from the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart and looked forward to a much simpler life. He rekindled his marriage with Lady Maria and life seemed to improve. It was rather early on when the couple discovered that Maria had become pregnant again. It was also not long after that when Peony, the housekeeper, also became pregnant. Maria started to ask Keldorn about this, but Keldorn started to get defensive and asked, ”Hey, who's the Inquisitor here?" Then Keldorn started to do the math with her to track the conception of Maria's pregnancy. She certainly did not want him to get to the end of that equation, so she quickly changed the subject. She suggested getting a new maid, but Keldorn chastised her for abandoning someone in their time of need who had been like family for years. He forbade Peony's departure claiming that his god, Torm, would not stand for it. Maria then made a passive aggressive comment about Torm being the god of loyalty, but she was mostly just muttering under her breath to get the last word in. Eventually, both children were born and had probably the most awkward upbringing of anyone in Faerun."
“After Gorion's Ward helped Coran take down a wyvern, the rogue brought the beast's head back to the mayor of Beregost for the reward and accolades. He thought this put him in a position to be a hero of great renown and perhaps, just maybe, people would stop mocking him for his flashy attire and completely superfluous eye mask. They didn't. He only gained acceptance when he crossed paths with a ranger who seemed indifferent towards Coran's keen fashion sense. Coran traveled the Sword Coast with his ranger sidekick, righting the wrongs against the ‘little guy’ and taking the law into their own hands when needed. This partnership dissolved when he discovered that the ranger thought Coran was the sidekick. As if! Coran tried to correct the ranger, whose argument was, 'Really, man, if that outfit doesn't scream sidekick then I'm Elminster's twin brother.' The ranger was not related to Elminster and shared no resemblance.
“Kivan never was able to get his revenge on Tazok. Unbeknownst to him, that honor was taken by Gorion's Ward. His thirst for vengeance continued to eat away at him until he found himself in a bat infested cave in the wilderness. It was then he snapped. He turned the cave into his secret hideaway, put together a disguise and started wandering the sword coast looking for evil-doers to punish. He would leave his calling card wherever he saved the day, a token of a bat with longer ears like an elf. And bats already had rather long ears so these bat ears were almost comically obtrusive. Nevertheless, his deeds were generally appreciated and the people stared calling him Bat-elf. For a short spell, another elf tagged along with him and tried to help, but he was so flamboyantly dressed that one could pick his sidekick out of the shadows blindfolded. Kivan eventually had to send him on his way. Unfortunately, his vigilante crusade abruptly ended after receiving a cease and decist order from DC Comics. Kivan could fight both monster and marauder all day, but his 14 Constitution wouldn't hold up against a lawsuit for trademark infringement.”
“Skie was deeply affected by both the death of her brother and the assassination of her father. And yes, her father was actually murdered and didn't lol-jk back to life in some crappy DLC. In any event, through these traumas, she came to realize the puerility of what she thought was her brilliant criminal masterminding. Instead, she decided to settle down and live a more responsible life as an upstanding citizen of Baldur's Gate. She took the reins of her father's estate after his death and rose to prominence as one of the Grand Dukes of the city. She maintained her relationship with Eldoth for quite some time, inexplicably, as he refused to get a job because he didn't want to take attention from his band which he swore was going to make it. However, the bard spent most of the day either lounging at Skie’s estate or gambling away his allowance with games of three-dragon-ante at the Helm and Cloak. Eventually, inspired by the book “Men Are From Menzoberranzan, Women Are From Immilmar," she decided to call it quits with Eldoth and sent him packing. Shortly thereafter, she met a man who was nothing like Eldoth and they settled down together to start a family."
“Eldoth's dreams of being a world-famous musician fronting the greatest band in Faerun never reached fruition. This was partly because he didn't actually have a band and partly because he didn't have the talent to write music. Instead, he just had a lute he purchased at Lucky Aello's Discount Store that only had one A-string and was missing the E-string. Also, Eldoth could only play power chords and he couldn't really sing and play at the same time. Most of the time he would just strum a chord or two and then talk about what the song would do next, often describing a solo and half playing it on an ”air lute" (while he was still holding an actual lute, mind you) to give people the idea as to how the song would sound when it was finally written. Yeah, he was one of those guys. After Skie kicked him to the curb, he bounced between various barmaids who clearly had low self-esteem, but not low enough to keep him around for long. Eventually, he got one of them pregnant and was forced into a shotgun wedding by the barmaid's father. He now works in the kitchen at the same inn as his barmaid wife. She helps the customers up front and he cooks eggs in the back. Eldoth continues to tell himself that this experience will just provide inspiration for his music and that someday he was going to get the band back together."
“After being rescued by Gorion's Ward, Xan made his way to Baldur's Gate to regroup. He spent an inordinate amount of time beating himself up over his failures and trying to muster the gumption to continue his quest to unravel the political turmoil of the region. However, it took him months to get to this point, and by that time, Gorion's Ward already sorted out the problems in the region. Discovering this, he deemed himself a failure yet again and sunk into a deeper depression. He pulled himself out of it when he met a woman who lost most of her family to violent deaths during the iron crisis, yet she still kept herself together and became a local success in a few short years. Xan immediately fell in love with the recently single Skie Silvershield and began to court her. They eventually married and started a family. At Xan's insistence, and inspired by his wife's name, their two daughters were named Sunshine and Rainbow. Xan was a staunch supporter of his wife's career and stayed home to raise the kids. When they were older and needed less attending, he followed a new dream and became a motivational speaker.”
“Korgan had his revenge against his backstabbing crew and employer, but he felt...empty. It was done, but he felt no satisfaction. Disgruntled and disappointed, he decided to lose himself in his cups at the Copper Coronet. Even this did nothing to alleviate his malaise. One night, having passed out drunk in a peasant room at the Copper Coronet, he dreamt of that final fight but something was different. In the background of the battle, there was a glow coming from the door of a shack and he heard the whispering of a language that sounded like it was from Kara-Tur. When he woke the next morning, Korgan returned to the rooftop and found the shack from his dream. He knocked and was greeted by a priest of Illmater. Korgan told the priest of his dream and he was led into the backroom where he found a man from Kara-Tur infirm and huddled over a cup of tea. The priest explained that he had just reincarnated this man of the faith using a heart delivered by a passing adventurer. Korgan took this as a sign, converted to the faith, and the two paired up to help those in suffering as a result of the schemes of others. The tales of Korgan and Yoshimo were not only told in many of a tavern by the bards, but also collected in graphic serials that were popular among the children of Athkatla.”
“Ajantis' death sent him into an afterlife at Everwatch, the realm of Helm. For his honor and diligence, the devout knight was granted an audience with his patron. Ajantis then told Helm what utter bullshit the god was. I mean, c'mon, he's the god of protection, the Vigilant One, and he couldn't protect a group of knights from a dragon's cheap illusion spell that a mage even tried to dispel with True Sight? It was like Helm wasn't even trying. Helm was stunned by the confrontation but also had no valid defense. Ajantis called Helm to a trial that was mediated by Tyr. After careful deliberation, Tyr determined that Helm was sleeping on the job and the judgment was to demote him to a lesser deity. Now, Helm was the patron of guards, but not actual guards that ever see action, just the ceremonial ones whose weapons and armor are super shiny and probably not even real. Ajantis was then granted Helm's old portfolio and became a god that truly protected his followers.”
“Viconia left Athkatla's government district perplexed. She was rescued from burning at the stake by Gorion's Ward and then immediately dismissed. She found this to be unusual behavior for a male. She was accustomed to men either trying to bed her or kill her, but this casual indifference was completely new. Viconia came to be obsessed with Gorion's Ward from a distance. She spiraled into a fantasy where the two of them had a future together. It was pretty bad. There were some extremely embarrassing vision boards involved and that wasn't even the worst of it. When her mania reached critical mass, her obsession actually collapsed and she had an epiphany. She came to realize that she did not need this man, or any for that matter. She started on a journey of self discovery and took a moral inventory of her past relationships. She wrote about it in the book, “Men Are From Menzoberranzan, Women Are From Immilmar”. She then used the revenue from the book sales to open Athkatla's first feminist bookstore. In Her Words became a mecca for women, particularly those who felt trapped in bad relationships. The community that emerged here created the group, Friends of Galia, which strove to free women from abusive relationships. Eventually, the bookstore expanded to include an apartment block above that became a shelter for such women. Occasionally, the partners of these victims would come around to In Her Words in an attempt to drag their partners back home. You can probably guess how a confrontation between a drunken 0-level commoner and a Drow priestess of Shar ends."
“Faldorn was defeated by Jaheira in Trademeet and lost her title of Arch-Druid. In truth, she was relieved to be relieved of the position. Years of pushing forward the Shadow Druid agenda led Faldorn to realize that she had lost touch with the real Faldorn along the way. After some soul-searching, she reinvented herself as a lifestyle guru and developed an entire line of organic health and beauty products under the name, She-Wolf. Both her products and seminars were all the rage in Athkatla, specifically among noblewomen who clearly had too much free time. Faldorn eventually gave up her residence in natural environs for a lavish estate in Athkatla's government district. Her following soon pressured her to petition to join the Council of Six after the fall of the Cowled Wizards left the position open (aside from a short-term replacement). Her petition was a success and she soon found herself on the Council of Six. Under her leadership, she created created the FDAA, the Food and Drink Association of Athkatla. Now, instead of draconian rules governing magic in the city, equally restrictive rules and standards were applied to the food and drink that the people consumed.”
“Barely surviving being gravely wounded by Irenicus, Tiax left Spellhold for Athkatla where he intended to do what he did best: rule. Learning from his past campaign mistakes in Baldur's Gate, he changed his slogan from ”Tiax Rules!" to “Make Athkatla Great Again”. Of course, what he thought would make Athkatla great was putting himself in charge as a despotic leader. But, he toned down that aspect of his platform and instead focused on the history of scheming and backroom dealing of the Cowled Wizards (as if he was any less evil or scheming) and promised the people he would be different than all the other corrupt politicians. Miraculously, despite his obviously apparent character flaws, he succeeded in replacing the Cowled Wizards' representative on the Council of Six. He decided to take their stance on restrictive magic to the next level and banned magic entirely. Since he didn't study the arcane himself, it was no skin of his nose. This move undermined his support base leaving him with only the most backwards and ignorant followers. He was ultimately removed from his position when he insisted the city build a wall around the planar sphere and was expecting that the city's wizards would be the ones to pay for it. After his removal, his few remaining extreme supporters organized an invasion of the main government building under the guise of freedom of assembly. All nine of these “rebels” were rounded up, tried, and sent to prison. Tiax was convicted of treason and reincarnated in Spellhold, which was now just a common prison. After his eventual release, he was prohibited from seeking any position of power in Amn."
"Edwin Odesseiron continued to lay low with the Shadow Thieves for a while. The Cowled Wizards suffered a crippling blow as a side effect of the conflict between Gorion's Ward and Irenicus. Edwin decided to step in and finish the job. His thought was that he could wipe out the Cowled Wizard remnants and then take credit for their defeat, thereby gaining him more clout among the Red Wizards of Thay. After many conspicuous mage battles in the streets of Athkatla, he succeeded. However, the people who noticed his efforts the most were actually the people of Athkatla. They were tired of living under the Cowled Wizards' iron fist and Edwin was lauded as a liberator and hero. He even had a statue in his image raised in Waukeen's Promenade. Edwin was initially nonplussed over people finally giving him the credit he always felt he so rightfully deserved. But, he quickly came to accept their praise and bought in to being a champion for the people. Edwin continued his agenda of liberation when a clearly insane gnome who found his way on the Council of Six tried to ban magic entirely in the city. Edwin and his followers were primarily responsible for having the madman removed from his seat.
“Shar-Teel, Safana, Branwen, and Alora all happened to cross paths with each other at Elfsong one evening. Shar-Teel was looking to fight a man, Safana was looking to shag a man, Branwen was recently petrified by a man, and Alora was just excited to be somewhere new. The four got to talking with each other and, despite having wildly different personalities, seemed to hit it off. Shar-Teel was sarcastic and aggressive, Safana was self-absorbed and man-hungry, Alora was kind and sweet, and Branwen was the matriarch of the group. You wouldn't think this lot would get along, but they actually did, and their differences merely become the fuel for innocuous hi-jinks week after week.”
"With Gorion's Ward's help, Cernd was able to rescue his child that he then abandoned again at the druid grove near Trademeet. He promised that he would return to raise the child, he just needed to run to the general shop in Trademeet for some pipeweed. He never returned, but that was pretty obvious since he didn’t even smoke. Cernd continued to wander Faerun. It came to light in Cormyr that Cernd had actually married, and had children, with numerous women in Cormyr, Amn, the Sword Coast, Tethyr, Calimshan, Turmish, Halruaa, Icewind Dale, Chondath, Sembia, Impiltur, the Silver Marches, and even the Troll Hills (don't ask). Furthermore, it was discovered that Cernd was not actually a druid, just a werewolf that had a Ring of Goodberries. The druid con was so that he could have a reason to abandon his wives and children and move on to a new situation. You would be surprised at how many women could fall for a guy that can conjure an impromptu picnic in the park. Unfortunately for Cernd, Cormyr was not the kind of place to run afoul of the legal system. For the crime of bigamy, he was sentenced to life in prison. He never set foot near a druid grove again, but he was allowed to participate in a work-release program tending to the gardens of nobles.
“Kagain returned to his shop and grew even more bitter, but not over what the death of Entar Silvershield's son had done to his reputation and business. Instead, he resented that even the Enhanced Edition of the game didn't give him a remotely decent companion quest. By Moradin's hammer, Cernd even had a pretty involved companion quest and the story there both starts and ends with a deadbeat dad! Also, Kagain can regenerate! Korgan can't even do that. And another thing! He was sick of people confusing the two of them as if all dwarves look alike or something. Ok, granted, they're both old dwarves with greying beards, but Korgan's beard is tied while Kagain's beard is brushed out. Of course, none of this made sense to anyone, even to Kagain who never actually crossed paths with Cernd or Korgan. However, the dwarf had nothing to do with his time except stand in his shop, isolated and alone, until he was done in by insanity and plantar fasciitis.”
“The death of Khalid shook Jaheira to the core. She convinced herself that she could never love again, certainly not so soon after his death nor with anyone that would be a child in her eyes. That would be absurd and rather tacky. After her escape from Irenicus' prison and deposing Faldorn from the druid grove, she took over as Arch-Druid. Being a Harper just wouldn't be the same without Khalid. However, the grove would allow her to explore a new, but comfortingly familiar, phase of life. She had barely been installed as the Arch-Druid when Cernd dropped off his child and disappeared again. He did not even stay long enough to tell Jaheira the child's name. Knowing he would likely not return, she named the child Khalid after her lost love. Realizing there were other children our there without families to care for them, Jahaeira would send her subordinates to wander nearby lands and bring them to the grove for a better life. Perhaps not surprisingly, many of these children happened to be Cernd's. She eventually renamed the grove to Kinder Garden in honor of the grove's new purpose of giving these children a kinder upbringing. Jaheira's headstrong personality served her well with these lost children, who all loved her as they would any mother. The Kinder Garden became the most thriving druid grove in all of Faerun. Jaheira eventually died in 1547 DR, with hundreds of children haven been rescued in her lifetime, and a memorial was erected in her honor at the grove. The inscription read, 'Nature's Servant Awaits.'"
“After being freed from Irenicus' dungeon, Minsc put his boots on the ground at the Copper Coronet. Being the simple man that he was, he found himself unwittingly recruited into fighting in the gladiator pits (before Gorion's Ward was able to free the slaves). Yet again, Minsc took a blow to the head. But this time, its effects were something completely new. No longer was he the slow-witted evil-slaying ranger, armed to the teeth and packing a hamster. Instead, his intelligence and wisdom started to blossom and he explored, through dissertation, the impact of modern civilization on the overall ecosystem of Faerun. Indeed, before Minsc started his work, the people of Faerun didn't even have the concept of an ”ecosystem". He left Athkatla to pursue a residency at Jaheira's grove where he could study and work in peace. He published works like, “The Intersection of Geopolitics and Biodiversity: Living More but Dying Sooner”, “The Essential Symbiosis Between the Savage and Civilization”, and “Moral Urbanization: Seeking a More Comprehensive Prosperity”. Minsc continued his studies and writing and ultimately produced enough groundbreaking works to have his own annex in Candlekeep. It was shortly after the dedication of this annex that Minsc disappeared from Faerun, never to be seen again."
“Jan Jansen's fate was the most impressive of all as his endeavors shaped the very fabric of Faerun for centuries to come. His story truly serves as a moral lesson for everyone and we should heed its virtue quite seriously. Helping Lissa and Jaella planted a seed of regret in Lissa with regards to her marriage to Vaelag. Speaking of seeds, this reminds Jan of a time when he was helping his Uncle Scratchy with his turnip farm. However, Uncle Scratchy was hoodwinked and the seeds he received were actually purple carrot seeds. You can imagine Uncle Scratchy's surprise when they sprouted and he suddenly had a field of purple carrots. Well, as you probably know, you can't make turnip stew, or turnip casserole, or turnip pie with purple carrots. But it just so happened there was a mage tower nearby and the resident mage needed a vast number of carrots. Apparently, her plan was to animate them as a kind of vegetable army to combat a myconid infestation in cave system rather close to her tower. Of course, animated carrots are quite self-assured and were immune to myconoid's confusion spores. Anyway, Jan had a once-removed cousin, Bobil, that was lost in those caves when he was a young gnome. He had wandered so deep that he found himself in the den of a solitary xvart who was obsessed with a magic ring. Bobil happened to purloin that ring but it turned out to not be magic at all. However, it was still worth enough for Bobil to buy himself a nice cottage in Trademeet. He then started his own turnip farm and had better luck than Uncle Scratchy. Wait, what were we talking about, again?”
“Boo continued his mission to study the sentient life forms of Faerun and determine their potential impact on the metaverse. He preferred the continued company of Minsc due to the ranger's kindness and protectiveness. Boo found this to be quite valuable in his current miniaturized state. Even after Minsc's accident, where his intellect began to expand, Minsc never lost his good heart and inherent kindness and the two remained the best of friends. It was a number of years later that the term of Boo's mission was complete. A team of his fellow people arrived on a spelljammer to collect the giant miniaturized space hamster. Minsc (and Boo) were on a retreat in a remote part of the Neverwinter Wood when a vessel shaped like a giant acorn landed in a nearby clearing. A number of human-sized anthropomorphic hamster-like beings, who called themselves the Ysoki, emerged and met with Boo. One had a strange crystalline device which it used to restore Boo to his proper size. Minsc naturally remained composed while all this was happening. He and Boo talked often and he knew this day would be coming. Boo returned to the spelljammer with his brethren to debrief on the mission. The Ysoki wanted to bring a sample back to their homeworld for further learning and study. Boo offered Minsc for the task, as the exemplar human would fit in nicely with the Ysoki's advanced culture and society. Everyone was in agreement and made the offer to the ranger. Minsc felt like he had made every contribution he could to the people of Faerun, so he accepted and boarded the ship. Boo, excited to finally be on a spelljammer again, took the helm and plotted a course for his homeworld. At his side sat his friend and faithful companion, Minsc.”

As the sun sets, painting the sky in fiery tones, I waited by the roadside as you instructed. That’s when I heard the rumble of an old Bronco. As it quickly approached me with its top off, my eyes were glued as the rugged driver was revealed. During our conversation prior to this meet up you had sent me pictures but I had no idea how attractive you’d be in real life. You stop right next to my car and signaled me to get in. No questions were asked. No words were exchanged. I immediately feel a rush of excitement and anticipation as I hop into the vintage ride, ready for a casual encounter. I sat in your passenger seat as the fresh, cool spring air brushed against my skin. You mentioned a hidden spot and I trusted you. So I sat back and enjoyed the ride when suddenly, without warning, you veered off the road, jumping the curb and going around a gate blocking car access. The sudden movement caused everything, including me, to shift in your car, and instinctively, I found myself grabbing onto your thigh. You remained focused on the road, flashing a smirk as my hand lingered there. Before I could retract it, you guided it up to your crotch. I couldn't help but notice the thickness beneath your pants as my hand rested there. What turned me on more was the heat radiating from the blood pumping through your veins. My mouth watered…. The sun had completely set. The road, flanked by trees casting shadows, your old bronco left a trail of dust behind us as we hurried along. My anxiety spiked as we approached a sharp curve, fearing we might end up in a canal. Thankfully, you began to slow down just in time, revealing a clearing near the curve. Stopping at the sharp curb, you backed into the clearing surrounded by trees. The last couple of minutes seemed chaotic but now we were surrounded by calmness. I glanced up and noticed a splatter of twinkling lights, adding a touch of magic to our adventure. "Hop to the back," you instructed, drawing my attention to the worn-out leather seats. But before I could comply, you paused, pulling out a blanket and spreading it out for me. Typically, encounters like these were quick "cum and go" affairs, but this felt different. I moved to the back, settling in the middle as you requested, my nerves tingling with anticipation. Without warning, you leaned over from the front seat and kissed me passionately, igniting a fire within me. You sensually held my face as your warm tongue brushed up against mine. I felt flushed, motionless, and ready to be yours. You stood up, you began to undress in front of me, prompting my curiousty, "What are you doing?" I had never encouraged full nudity for public play; it felt too risky. “We're good, no one drives back here," you reassured me confidently, leaving me no choice but to trust you. You place both feet beside me as you prop yourself up, placing your elbows on the back beam of your Bronco and lean back. Dangling in front of my face is your long semi hard, uncircumcised dick. You close your eyes, lean your head back and tell me, “show me what that mouth can do." I wanted to tease you a bit, so I spent some time kissing your thighs, getting closer and closer to your balls. You let out soft moans as my mouth traveled all over your lower body. Then, I put one of your balls into my mouth, swishing it around inside before switching to the other one. Meanwhile, I stroked your thighs with my hands. Your breathing became heavy as I managed to fit both your balls into my mouth at once. Tenderly, I licked your balls while warming them up with my hot mouth. Using my tongue, I moved them all around, my lips completely taking your entire sack, up to the root of your cock, which had become hard as a rock. My hands began to stroke your cock. I pulled your member up with one hand and held it against my lips. It was dripping in glossy precum. I brush your head against my lips tasking your bitter-sweetness. I pressed my lips against your head and push your skin back as your cock traveled down my throat. You let out a loud moan letting me know how much you were enjoying my mouth. I look up as I feel you looking down at me. I pull your drenched cock out of my mouth and swipe my tongue over your pee hole. Keeping my eyes locked on yours, I slip your head back into my mouth and push down until my lips press against your base. This drives you insane! “I can tell you love sucking dick.” I grab onto each side of your hips and guide your body toward my face. I want to ensure your entire shaft is snugly nestled down my throat. Your head breaks past the throat barrier. You're so deep in my mouth that your balls are slipping inside my mouth. "Oh fuck!" you shout. "You like this dick, don't you?" Holding your dick down my throat, I couldn't speak, but I did verbally answer, "Mhm," slowly and as loud as I could. This sends vibrations through your cock, even making your balls tingle. "Oh fuck, you're going to make me cum." You have the perfect bubble butt, and I wanted to make sure to rim you for the first time. I grab your hips and signal for you to turn around. You pause for a moment, nervously turning around. Your perfectly smooth butt is ready to be tongue-fucked. I'm afraid I might be suffocated by your ass. I asked you to lean forward while I spread your cheeks, looking for your puckered hole. I lean in and take my first lick, before pushing my face forward deep in between your cheeks as my tongue circulated your hole all while I played with your dick. A few seconds later I heard you say, “oh I fucked up” I was confused what could have gone wrong. I didn’t stop making out with your hole, when I felt your hot-gooey cum on my hand. You were embarrassed to admit you had cum, and cummed quickly. You stood there motionless for a moment. Then you collapsed next to me and apologizing. I didn’t care, I had done my job. You quickly began to dress yourself when I asked, “can you rate my mouth?” You embarrassedly answered, “Are you kidding? You made me cum quick. I’d give you a higher score than 10 if I could.”

Hello All,
Been DM'ing this group for years, and I'm struggling to challenge them adequately. They just hit level 13, and most encounters that aren't full-on boss battles are trivial.
I want to be more creative, but I need some inspiration - can you give me your best ideas?
Premise: the party needs to infiltrate the domain of an Archfey. The domain is actually home to two of the PCs, and everyone involved is actually an ally. But there is a corruption at the heart of the domain they need to clear out, and no one else will believe them/will try to stop them.
The Plan: two of the members will sneak to where they need to go. I have plans for them, all good. The other three members of the party are going to "kidnap" a willing NPC, who is a high-member of the archfey's court. The idea is to provoke a chase from the guards and creatures to allow Team Sneaky time to do what they need to do.
THE CHALLENGE: How do I make a chase sequence interesting for high-level characters? Essentially the Wild Hunt is after them, so I want it to be powerful and hard. But I don't want it to be a bunch of contested skill challenges and then we are done. Can you give me suggestions (both narrative ideas and mechanical ones) for what being chased by the Wild Hunt would look like? Team Kidnapping is a Druid who is very creative/strong understanding of the rules + Paladin + Sorcadin (who are more average).
Give me your best, most dirty DM tricks!

I had a great time with this 1997 game. The game was easy to learn, it uses an action point system similar to the original XCom or Xenonauts, so I slid in real easy. While the opening cave serves as a check on if your built character is "viable", I did half follow a guide. The timer ticking down was my biggest apprehension going in; it's actually very generous, I wasted a ton of time reading skill books and healing with plenty of time to spare.
The #1 thing about this game is how incredibly atmospheric it is, so eeriey and mysterious. That opening cut-scene was great. I saw plenty of 50s theming with the robots and greaser jackets and such. There's also how sadistically gruesome the combat is. I vividly remember my first combats against super-mutants, with them zapping me in half and setting me on fire. But firing full auto into someone at point blank is incredibly satisfying. Crippling limbs really helped to keep the combat interesting, and the flavor text accompanying attacks was some Matt Mercer style cool.
The skill system for this game is a bit wonky. Some skills were pointless. I pickpocked half the people I met without putting any points into the Stealing skill (because I had high Agility), and it didn't effect my Karma. While Repair and Lockpicking are essential skills. First Aid was great for giving me XP and free healing, while I never received a crippled limb to use Doctor on. The way the game handles weapon progression is that Energy & Heavy Weapons represent your end-game capabilities (if you started with those skills, you'd have none to use).
I love how weapons are handled. You load and unload guns, and put in anti-personnel and armor-piercing bullets to fit the situation. I would pick up enemy guns, yank out the clip, then drop them.
The quests were fun and memorable, with variable solutions, and a lot you can talk through.
One of my favorite memories in this game is investigating The Glow, with the sense of danger, discovery, reactivity to my skills, while managing my radiation levels, and getting end-game equipment at the bottom just by chucking a few pulse grenades .
The first time I fought death claws, I was well prepared with a Plasma Rifle (despite no spare ammo for it), and a tip from some geezer on where to shoot it. That went alright. But, soon after I got my Power Armor, a gang enforcer beat me to death with his bare hands. It turned out, he was hopped up on Psycho and had spiked knuckles. Came as a real shock. Overall, I had a great time. I would say the end-game areas were some of my most frustrating experiences: Force-fields in the military base, and being locked out of peacefully infiltrating the Cathedral just because I had talked to the Followers of the Apocalypse. Sorting through my inventory and packing loot onto companions to carry was a real chore; I can see why the guide said to forget the loot and gamble to buy anything you want. Sometimes, allies felt like herding cats, but they aren't as bad as people make it out to be (just respect lines of fire, and don't use a chaingun unless you want everything in front of you dead).

This happened a year ago, but my heart is still shattered and I need to get this off my chest.
I (F30) had a best friend (M29) and we grew extremely close. There was no one in the world I trusted more than him. One night after a year of friendship we ended up in a hotel and… you get the picture. Best sex of my life, it was intimate, so safe and passionate at the same time.
We began sleeping together a few times a week. We decided not to date cuz of circumstances (finances, wanting different lifestyles and family plans), but I was definitely falling in love anyway.
Two months later he told me he had fallen in love. He wrote me a love letter and said the most romantic things about how I was everything he’s always dreamed of. I thought I would die of happiness—until he said that despite how he felt, circumstances hadn’t changed. He did not want to be in a relationship or exclusive right now, but he hoped things would be different one day.
We continued acting like a couple. I couldn’t lose my best friend and was in too deep at that point. We had each other’s phone passcodes, I helped him run his business, I love yous every night, he paid for a vacation for us, and lots of passionate sex. There were instances where he flirted and once when he kissed someone else, which caused fights, but I always ended up letting it go cuz I knew we weren’t exclusive.
Then one weekend a year ago he was at my house, we slept together like always and the next day he said I should invite some of our mutual friends over. So I did.
I knew he had hooked up with one friend (B) a couple years before when they were both on molly, and though I felt uncomfortable he told me it was a one time thing cuz of the drugs and he wasn’t into her.
I trusted him fully—he was my best friend first and foremost, after all. But you can guess how this ends…
Long story short, he ends up making out with her and fingering her IN MY BED while I was in another room.
I only found out two months later, when B admitted the truth to me. She said she had wanted to go all the way (cuz she didn’t know me and him had anything—we kept it a secret) but he stopped it in the middle saying, “I can’t do this to (my name).” That’s when she realized something was going on between me and him.
I had suspected something was off, cuz right after this happened he pulled away and began acting cold and like a jerk to me for no apparent reason. He said hurtful things, would ignore me for days… it was so out of character but I had already started grieving by the time she told me.
He came back to make amends a few times, and I’m embarrassed to say I gave him a couple more chances over the next few months. But it never ended well.
I went NC five months ago. But my heart is still shattered, because I was betrayed by my best friend. Who I had trusted and loved more than I’ve ever trusted or loved any man before.
TL;DR: My best friend turned situationship fooled around with our other friend in my bed.

I haven't really looked at any jumps and thought "My gods that is really overpowered."
Then I followed a link to The Record of a Fallen Vampire and wow, some of these perks and items are just stupidly overpowered.
The moment you start talking about moving at "significant relativistic speeds" you really need to stop and think about things, and that is one of the Human Perks.

Conquered The Sun (200) - Just as the feared vampire king centuries ago discovered his immunity you too have conquered the sun. Any sort of vampiric weakness from now and in the future such as sunlight, needing to drink blood, or anything else will never bother you as you’re immune to these weaknesses. This conquering effect extends to other species that you’re a part of as well. You'll be immune to any innate, racial, and biological weaknesses all the while remaining with the benefits and strengths that come with that race.

Any racial weakness gone.

Hybrid (200) - If fiction has taught you anything it’s that being born from two different races tends to make one very powerful. It's why no matter how diluted or minuscule the amount of DNA is within you, so long as you have something, you’ll get all the special perks of that race and then some. A long lost descendant, drank another race’s blood, did genetic editing, or something else, so long as you have a gene within you it’s all the same. Any abilities, benefits, transformations, etc that are exclusive to any race you are a part of will be yours.

Immediate assimilation of any race that you can get DNA from. Dragon, Devil, Angel, Kryptonian, Viltrumite anything you can get DNA from.

The Bite (600) - Originally the beings that created the vampires and dhampires used their fangs as a method of collecting blood and DNA from other organisms. Although the races still have the remnant attachments of their ancestors, they never require blood, so the fangs are mainly decoration. While dhampires don’t have their ancestor’s ability to absorb DNA you’ve managed to not only retain the power but have turned it into something very fearsome. By drinking the blood of another being you will inherit and absorb the DNA of that race effectively becoming a part of it forever. This collection process is so efficient that even having the most minute amount of blood from a creature will have you adapting and taking on any beneficial traits it had while streamlining it for your body and discarding any inherent weaknesses.
If you were to drink from a being that had biological abilities, magic, spiritual/innate energies, or something else you would gain a weakened version of their power. While you could train these skills to equal the power the original holder had it's far easier to just drink more of the blood from the being in question. By drinking enough blood from the aforementioned being you’ll be their complete equal and can easily surpass them. Although blood is the easiest thing to get it is possible to drink from other fluids or anything that contains DNA to get the same benefit such as spit, sweat, and the one fluid you are all thinking about you perverts.

Any racial powers that aren't physical are now yours to access, drink for a Jedi, now you're Force Sensitive drink from enough your Palpatine or Vitate.

Blood Bags (400) - While these blood bags wouldn’t look out of place in a blood donation establishment they are far more useful than being blood holders. You have an endless supply of special blood bags that constantly refill with whatever blood is held within them. The bags you currently have are filled with various blood and DNA samples from all the major entities of the world. This includes humans, both alive and deceased, several current dhampires, some vampire strains, and even blood of the Vampire King and Queen.
When one wishes to fill another bag with blood you only have to touch a bag with the person in question or put something into the bag that contains a person’s DNA. Either way you’ll be get an endless amount of blood. Additionally, in future jumps, you’ll always receive bags that are filled with the blood of main characters, villains, notable side characters, and anyone else of major importance from that setting which can mean anything from their vast influence to enormous power. Whether you drink the blood, use it for experimentation, or something else is up to you.

Just to make you that little bit more overpowered with this item you get access to what is generally the most interesting/powerful bloods in every new jump.
Like I said, maybe just a little overpowered.

ahem. so I started out as an anime only and loved it so much that I binged the 200 chapters of the manhwa over the weekend and i’m not sure how I feel about the ending, it really just makes me sad that no one remembers jinwoo and I hate “it was all a dream” like endings but oh well. the epilogue made me cry like a bitch cause now I had to watch best papa sr. die twice and that’s just not right
anyways i’m off to read the light novel now starting from the end of the anime because I heard the characters are more fleshed out and I liked it more when there was less bitch crying from me and it was solo leveling and not solo living (my boy was alone for almost 3 decades, what da hell)
anyways thanks for coming to my feelings dump and do you guys like the novel or manhwa better?

So y’all know Kaufmo had a funeral ceremony dedicated to him at the end of Ep 2 after Caine left. A handful of the characters had testimonies we couldn’t hear but showed clear sadness though the expressions.
With the drawing Gangle held up, she clearly missed him a lot, Ragatha was on the verge of tears and Zooble and Kinger looked genuinely sad, which was really eye opening.
It makes you think that maybe Kaufmo was a really funny and well adjusted character on paper. He probably made everyone laugh and cheered them up as best he could, but clearly he was suffering more than his friends were. When you see Kaufmo abstracted in the first episode, they made some light hearted comments about it and the episode’s overall tone made it seem like it was par for the course, but in actuality, he most likely made a lot of fun memories with the circus gang and they just didn’t want to show their sadness at the time due to being freaked out or even, repressing their emotions when they saw him in his abstracted form.
It makes you realise that abstracting is a way bigger issue than they make it out to be. Everyone was just worried that it would happen to them if they let their fears crush down on them. I really hope there’s a flashback episode that shows how much of a funny and charming character Kaufmo was. It would do justice to his legacy.
