Welcome, fair traveller!

I'm Bittersweet. That's not my actual name, but I'm going with it cause everything in life ends on a bittersweet note-you die happy, or you die miserable, life goes on and everything you worked for improves and harms the world in two directions going forward and backwards at the same time.

Maybe that was too pretentious of an starting paragraph.

Either way, this will be a place to store my various RPG related thoughts when I'm bored or sufficiently motivated. Don't expect a lot of updates, alas but maybe it's easier to think of this as quality over quantity.

Perhaps I should just state what I like to get things rolling?

-OSR, GLOG, OSE, and other obscure (aka everything not DnD or Pathfinder) RPGs.
-Folklore and Comparative Mythology.
-Creepypasta, Rumors, Weird Internet Mysteries.
-The Old Internet.
-Elf Girls, apparently!
-Oh, the Humanities!
-Japanese/Weeb Stuff as long as it isn't overly gooner bait.
-Chinese Wuxia/Xianxia (although I've only gotten into this VERY recently).
-Not dying.
-Weird cultures that are still vaguely understandable if utterly alien.
-Girls with Swords.
-Girls wielding Spears.
-Girls riding on weird Mounts.
-Bugs being cute.
-Ghosts being cute.
-Weird Martial Arts
-Weird Religions.
-Tragic, complex narratives of love and betrayal.
-Magical Artifacts that give more than just "+1 to thing."
-Cat People.
-Tanuki and Kitsune.
-Argonians. (Not Arizonians.)
-Friendly blobs.
-Fantasy Settings that aren't just "Medieval Europe without the interesting bits."
-Settings that mix historical fact with the misconceptions of the era.
-Horror Sci-Fi.
-Megadungeons that don't take forever.
-Oni.
-Birds and Bird People.
-Gender-Bending Characters and Concepts.
-Immersive Sims like Deus Ex and Thief.
-Deltarune and Undertale.
-The Cthulhu Mythos when it isn't racist.
-Robert E Howard when he isn't racist or sexist.
-The Action movie genre when it isn't racist and jingoistic.
-Cacodemons and Beholders when they aren't racist.
-Princess Kaguya-Hime, who's hand I will one day win once I obtain her seven impossible treasures!
-THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS.
-Old Youtube Poops.
-Slaying evil tyrants.
-Protecting (by pranking) the peasantry.
-Water?
-Showers?
-Not having to write list of things I like.

"Two Ravens flew from their shoulders, one to the Hanged, one to the Slain." (GLOG Class for EcksianRaven)

Way, WAY latter than it was meant to be, here is my Secret Santa gift for EcksianRaven . I hope you enjoy this class, even if it's late....
