GLOGtober 2023-15

So it is day 24 of October, but only day 15 of GLOGtober. Time has become misaligned with itself. Tomorrow will be yesterday, and the day after will be next January. Today I chose - and it is my choice now, I have broken free from the RNG that bound me - I chose a very simple prompt. Or maybe it's a complicated prompt and I don't get it?

"Random encounters on an ancient road," says Locheil. Well now I'm wondering why the road is specified as ancient. Must I take that into account, somehow? How old is ancient? El Camino Real is older than anyone I've met, or anyone they've met. Can I be an encounter? Maybe. Hopefully I'll figure it out after the page image.

I think this place is on El Camino Real.
It's complicated, I guess.

GLOGtober 2023-14

So I missed a bunch of days for GLOGtober. I'm just gonna do some more. Not randomly rolling them this time, just choosing whatever feels interesting.

I'm gonna preface this with a disclaimer that I'm not fluent in Japanese so uh, why would you ask me to write poetry in it. SunderedWorldDM, you are sadistic and cruel, not because you have caused me pain - which you have - but because of the pain you have forced me to inflict on others. These are gonna be some superficial, nonsensical, badly worded haiku.

Can you read this map? I hope so.

GLOGtober 2023-13

So multiple other people already did this prompt. Someone should mash them all into the same setting. That'd be neat/funny.

The prompt is: Atlantis-type situation but in reverse. It goes up instead of down.

Like this but maybe humanoid

GLOGtober 2023-12

So even though the words "fairy tale" have, I think, an European connotation (?) this post is going to not have an European connotation (??). It'll have an American connotation, I guess, because I'm American (???).

I dunno maybe "fairy tale" is a universal thing, and it's just that the society I live in has an European connotation sometimes (????). Fairy tale just makes me think fairies and the further away you get from fairies the less I think of it as a fairy tale. I don't even know if these are fairy tales disregarding connotations (?????) (seriously what's a fairy tale).

Maybe it would have been cooler if I let you assume that the post would have an European connotation (??????) ("an European" doesn't sound right) and then let you flounder trying to ascribe each scenario to a tale.

Whatever, the prompt is, "Fairy tales."

I think this post is probably better if neither you nor your players recognize what the hell I'm referencing.

Wikipedia says this is what fairy tales look like

GLOGtober 2023-11

So I am racing and blazing and burning the candle at both ends and if fate shears kindly I'll have this done by midnight and if fate shears too kindly I'll have this done by 11 and you'll be like, "Walfalcon what was that intro about it's not even that late," and the truth will be revealed, the truth that sometimes I write these intros before I even figure out a vague idea of what the rest of the post will be.

Anyways that's not the case here, this time I have a slight idea of what the rest of the post will be because this time I have found the niche for my blog! Every blog needs a niche. You may disagree, for many popular blogs seem to occupy a similar and non-specific space, but you see I am actually correct because when I said, "Every blog," I was using that as slang to mean, "My blog has nothing going for it so if it's never going to become good then at least it."

Hopefully that makes sense. Anyways I found my niche. And today's GLOGtober is, "Cultural gathering places for nonhuman fantasy folk." Enjoy.

Come and meet me by the ye old gazebo

GLOGtober 2023-10

So I missed yesterday again, not sure if I can do 11 today. Might be behind by a day for a bit. Ah well.

Divinity Incarnate

The prompt was, "Notes about a family of gods."

GLOGtober 2023-9

So I forgot to say what the prompt was yesterday. You can figure it out yourself.

The prompt today is Paper Minis. Here's some images you can print out and use for characters.

Image broke. See full post for backup images.

GLOG Class: Skaven

So someone asked if there was a Skaven class for GLOG. And I was like "WTF is a Skaven" but then I looked it up and I did in fact know what a Skaven was. So here it is.

It has been over a year since I started this class.

I don't think this is what the song's about.

GLOGtober 2023-8

So this is NOT inspired by The Chronicles of Narnia: In Another World As The Magician's Nephew. Don't go assuming it is. It's inspired by a Diana Wynne Jones book called The Merlin Conspiracy that I read ages ago and remember fondly but vaguely. I might have the wrong book.

It's also inspired by that time everyone on Phlox's GLOG server - the PhLOG server - made up a bunch of endless staircase encounters.

This is what a forest looks like,
so imagine this but like way more dense.

GLOGtober 2023-7

So yesterday I celebrated Life, in the form of an all-consuming, immortal fishperson. Today I celebrate Death, in an examination of what battles long ended have left behind.

Today's prompt is, "Famed sites of disastrous battles of the Blood War."

I am completely throwing out my usual tendency to abide by copyright law.

GLOGtober 2023-6

So the prompt for today is 「ふかひれスープ」. What a coincidence, that's the name of my blog! I've frequently regretted naming it that, but I've perhaps just as frequently felt the opposite.

Blog Name

GLOGtober 2023-5

So today I got Puzzle Boxes. I will attempt to make something from that.

I dunno what else to say as an intro. I didn't post yesterday so I'm posting this and the previous post both on the 5th hopefully.

BOX

GLOGtober 2023-4

So today's post is a Cryptic Lorepost. This lore probably doesn't apply to the YAGH or Mall Rats settings, but it might.

Home

GLOGtober 2023-3

So I've been kinda running a vampire game in my Mall Rats "setting" for a few months. We've only had three sessions, but still, I've put a lot of thought into Mall Vampire.

But rather than posting about how that Mall Vampire works, I'm going to create a new Mall Vampire.

My third GLOGtober prompt is Vampires by the way.

Two maps.

This one isn't keyed in case you want to use it in a VTT or something.

GLOGtober 2023-2

So it's day 2 of GLOGtober and I'm working on my second post. Statistically, that means that by the end of the month I will definitely have 31 blogposts done. This is how math works.

Prompt 2 is, "A glance at a city that should never have been built." Pretty straightforward.

This looks kinda like Blade Runner

GLOGtober 2023-1

So it's GLOGtober, and that means one thing: It's time for GLOGtober. There's prompts over at here and I do those prompts and hopefully I get like a bunch of blogposts by the end of the month!

Also I'm typing this in Textreme2.

It makes typing... fun!

Class(is): Henshin

 So Kamen Rider is a pretty cool series.

HENSHIN!

Record of Encino War: Session 3

So last session I started playing 50s rock in the background, to simulate the 50s rock playing in the background in the hallways of the Encino Shopping Arcade. I hope my players don't find it annoying.

Sand... Witches?

Record of Encino War: Session 1

So I've been running Mall Rats with some friends, playing through my interpretation of the D&D 5e module CURSE OF STRAHD. I'm gonna try to write up play reports from now on, but here's the first session off of notes and memory.

The Encino Shopping Arcade

The Wizard of Light House

So theisticGilthoniel (the author of Homestuck) impressed me (in the British sense) into making a Wizard School. He then handed me the wizard school I was to make, completely finished. I am thus bound by a will not my own to deliver unto you, dear reader, my completely original work. It's based, but it's also based off some movie about a "light house", whatever that is.
