To reiterate: first time :P

I have no idea how the DM's side goes, how to determine loot, how to make enemies.

Plot is my strong point here.

I made a shitpile of notes that were designed to be passed out at random. Three categories: Town, Wilderness, Misc

Now, I laid out a basic plot for them to follow with strong incentives to follow it. For example,  the BBEG offered them 200gp at level 3 just to meet a contact and follow through on a mission. Along the way, the random notes created completely unexpected player reactions that I adjusted the plot for slightly while keeping the same path.

That corrupt nobleman that wanted them to do shifty shit? Yeah he cuts off the heads of the two easily influenced half-orcs that started liking the players too much,because they were hired for a job and overstepped their remit.

The BBEG realized they knew he was having them watched? He steps in and outright explains why they should let him manipulate them. (Honesty works btw)

A big part of DMing is rolling punches into your plans, especially when your BBEG is a prophetic immortal who cannot die until his chosen time.

Despite everything, I'm just feeling well. Just... well. And that's nice.

Haven't even taken my meds yet, so that's nice.

Just found this. Not 100% safe for work, but one of the best things I've seen recently. I'm really hoping it takes off.

I thought this was excellent, but as a 'pilot' I think it could do better, because a pilot wants to show what the show is like when it's up and started, whereas this uses up its entire run-time introducing the setting, characters, and premise. Which was all really fun, but that's not how every episode is going to be, is it? That's really what would make or break the show, and what a pilot is meant to demonstrate. I'm reminded of what was the pilot for the Powerpuff Girls, it was an adventure where Bubble's pigtails are transformed into chicken drum sticks and whipping the shit out of an alien hillbilly; that was fun, and it worked at selling the concept of the show.

It mean, this is such amazing high quality it'd definitely catch people's attention, and Elsie Lovelock is knocking out outta the fucking park as she always does. Now I'm just so curious what the first plotline is going to be like.

Year or so ago, my favorite hole-in-the-wall Mediterranean / Iraqi restaurant closed down. Super bummed, I'd get chicken kababs, lentil soup, nann bread and black tea for a super simple yet filling and enjoyable meal.

Today we tried a place down the street from there that just opened, and it's almost a carbon copy of the old place. I got pretty much the same meal, and it was equally simple and delicious!

My boss fought for four months to get my tier of manager some raises and we got some raises just before Christmas.

She's one of the best people.

I've started homebrewing game stuff again. Nothing as ambitious as my last attempt at building a system, but it's nice to create.

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

My little guy had outpatient surgery. Had a minor defect from being premature, corrected no problem, recovering beautifully.

All his favorite people like his grandma and aunts and such are coming over to make a giant fuss over him and he gets to play Mariokart as much as he wants, while only consuming the finest of grilled cheeses, applesauces, and iced creams. So he's pretty ok all things considered.
