I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Tentacle sex is a whole genre unto itself, from my understanding. So, not too far, per se.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

oh Zenkitty you're having so much more fun than I am. I may have to introduce a kraken just to hold my own interest.

But yeah the dice are really helpful when cranking out words is more important than character motivation.

I don't understand. What dice?

I have a set of percentile dice next to my keyboard. When I get stuck over whether a character is going to do one thing or another I decide which is more likely and roll the dice. It's probably the geekiest possible way to write a story. Also how cool is it that the die in the Wikipedia photograph is actually the one I own?

brillig

It's not so much the dice but which table you're rolling on. If you've got some of the old D&D critical hits tables, you can oodles of fun.

I have actually constructed a little arena out of the insert from a router box. But I do have a DMG I could refer to if a battle breaks out.

Like when my uncle had the book that told what happen if say, an elf and a unicorn got into a fight, right?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Laga, rolling dice sounds like a fun way to write a story. It's like one of those stories where you get to pick different outcomes and see what happens.

Although it is true, Kraken are always amusing.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
