I would like to buy some songs to have for my long car drives, but the Bandcamp seems pretty empty and the album doesn't have all of the songs I am interested in. Would anyone know of a link or site where I could buy some Pleasantries tunes?
Thank you!
It is hard to pick a favorite part.
My top three are: "I wished he got pneumonia. And then he did.", "I will get you a car. But it won't have an ID number.", and "I didn't step out in front of a bus for a while."
it takes everything in me not to call them up and be like "Do you want money? Do you want to be paid? Do you understand that these things cannot happen until I can give that piece of paper to the state?"
The email I opened this morning.
For context enjoyers: We reach settlement on a case- the next day I get this email from the legal support staff of opposing counsel telling me what to do. The withdrawal is for something that is scheduled for over two months out. We have not received any of the paperwork from them. Settlement language hasn't even been drafted yet. I am so baffled. I feel like even attorneys know not to give orders to another attorney's staff.
Is this like....a seniority powermove kind of thing? What did they think would happen here? Do they realize that after doing this, my attorney has given me orders to file the withdrawal as late as possible????
I hope you enjoyed my approximation of my inbox.
Trying to act casual when Orlock starts stumbling around town, as if I didn't just complete a job order for white wine for $1,000 gold
This is just a discussion/vent post. I see quite a bit of criticism thrown towards Persephone's characterization which is either 1. being mad at her for doing something all other characters do (ex: calling Persephone annoying for wanting to open a yoga studio while other characters open their own creative stands/hobby stations all over the town) or 2. being upset because>!Ridge!<has a crush on her.
Juxtapose this with people (rightfully!) wanting to see the women written with more flaws, tension, and contrast in the way that the men are. I don't think we could have a fem character who has negative traits even close to the level of Ludo- let alone Orlock or Brook.
People can't even handle the "woman who moves to a new town in the hopes of mending her family and finding community" character.
Setting: run-down murder house that the players acquired ownership of at the end of last game.
Players: four new players, three returning players.
The Culprit: a returning player who kept imposing their will on the party- citing "in-character reasons".
The DM sets us up really well- the plan is that the new characters are already at this murder house for their own reasons and run into the new owners- the Returning Characters. New Characters do not display any aggression or pose a threat to any other characters. But one specific Returning Character takes issue with the new characters trespassing- summons the fantasy police even though the DM already has an NPC there and is clearly set up for a quest. Returning Character yells at all characters to sit and listen to them, says New Characters should be arrested, etc etc etc. Returning Character makes several threats to New Characters whenever someone tries to explain whats going on (or even when someone tried to leave the house). Took several minutes of a shouting match (in-character) before we were able to get this player to abandon the idea of having other characters arrested.
Eventually, we are able to dismiss the random cop NPC and do the quest that the DM had set up for us. For the rest of the session, Returning Character bounces between complaining that New Characters dont like her and threatening them with physical violence. Repeatedly, Returning Player would make threats and then look to each other player to gauge/receive a reaction. I hate doing this but I would outright say "xyz ignores her" because the only other options are placating the Returning Character by being afraid OR starting another shouting match. Which is what other players would engage in. When Returning Character is not yelling and threatening people, she is being anxious and upset that New Characters "keep laughing at her". I legit would sit there and think about how this character is acting like those fake karen videos made for middle schoolers.
Whole time- this player KNEW there were going to be new players and thus new characters in this game. I have no fucking idea why they decided to derail the game for 30 minutes, having their character yell and threaten others. Some players would leave for breaks outside while this was happening. Other returning players are trying to use in-game logic to explain why new characters shouldnt be arrested. The solution was, unfortunately, to sometimes ignore this player and steamroll them to continue the session.
After session, Player keeps trying to explain how their character was only acting rationally. Brings up that somehow their characters always have beef with other characters.
Overall- not terrible but dampened the fun. It isnt enjoyable to play with someone who doesnt exercise basic roleplay etiquette. Im kinda surprised they didnt start telling us how our characters should react to things. The group was very patient with them, despite everyones character having good reason to respond to these repeated threats with some PvP.
TLDR: new characters appear, returning character derails campaign to call the cops to get them arrested.
