Session Report 1 - Mall Rats: Escape From The Depths Of The Burbank-Fullerton Supercenter: The Tabletop Game (Featuring Jack The Pack Rat And Her Traveling Shack) - A Journey Into The Core Of The Pre-Millenium For Levels 1-7 But Floors 1 To B1

So I'm running a new campaign with Mall Rats.

There's no response, it's just a heap of plushies.

GLOGust 2025-1 Jumping, But Cooler

So it's almost the end of GLOGust and everyone else made their posts at the end of July. Anyways, here's some Jumping, but Cooler.

Aozora ni, naru

GLOG Class: My Last Ninja Was Just A Fighter

Mall Rats are varied in kind and skills, but all serve only one master: the great god Greed. A Mall Ninja serves a greater power: Pride. In the service of Pride, you take a Lord. Your Lord is the best Lord, and protecting them is your purpose. Anyone who questions your methods is just jealous.

Thanks to Grek for figuring out how to get Unstable to work.

Also thanks to TitleKnown for ordering me to create this class.

Also I suppose this is a bandwagon Assassin class

A mall ninja, probably

GLOGtober 2024-7 Acrostic

 So I'm still on my phone. I left my laptop at home. That's been a pain, but I don't need it for my classes today. Prompt from https://bitspieces.bearblog.dev/

This is an acrostic, right?

GLOGtober 2024-6 Color

So I'm writing this on my phone. Hopefully that'll be fine. Ok I fought autocorrect three times writing that sentence, it's not fine. Whatever. The prompt is from https://spiceomancy.blogspot.com/

The future of gaming is color.

GLOGtober 2024-5 Infrastructure and Logistics

So today is the 6th. I missed posting on the 5th, and I probably won't get this one up until the 7th at the earliest. Ain't that the way they say it goes. This post sponsored by https://impulsivenecromancy.blogspot.com/

I sure hope this is an infrastructure

GLOGtober 2024-4 Feuding Poets and their Ruinous Verses

So I hope these rules are fun, but I'm not sure I'd ever actually use it myself. Maybe. Who knows. Prompt by https://mediumsandmessages.bearblog.dev/

Something Something Walfalcon
My name is Something Something Walfalcon

GLOGtober 2024-3 Anime-Inspired Content

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into GLOGtober.

I came up with that sentence myself. Technically. Anyhoo, I rolled a thing for today's post, then rerolled it in a moment of weakness, and then ended up with a prompt that I myself submitted. Cool?

Anime

GLOGtober 2024-2 Fantastic Transports

So it's still GLOGtober, despite everything. Day 2, in fact. I'm actually writing this on September 30th, because I abide by my own rules. Nah that's actually probably normal. Today's prompt from https://seedofworlds.blogspot.com/

He took the midnight train headed anywhere.

GLOGtober 2024-1

So it's GLOGtober again. Longtime readers know that every GLOGtober I participate in something called "October", which is a kind of month. Anyways whoever you are, if you're reading this you probably know what GLOGtober is but if not there's an explanation here: https://glass-candles.blogspot.com/2024/09/glogtober-24.html

I'm just gonna roll 1d76 every day for a prompt and post until I get tired/stressed/bored.

Today's prompt is from https://whosemeasure.blogspot.com/

It's true!

GLOG Class: What Sound Does A Dragon Make

So I was thinking about more 80s/90s cult classics to base 80s/90s cult classes off of, and I realized I'd never seen Buckaroo Banzai. And then I realized that I *had* seen Miami Connection.

Friends through eternity, loyalty, honesty, stay together through thick and thin.

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
We'll gaze upon the new snowed gazesnow

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.
