Tracking... The trajectory of the ink filled missile points to Pyongyang... It would seem you are about to initiate a declaration of war...

I’ve got an idea that I need to put in writing, to see if there is any substance to it. So, you’re it...

The idea is about a roleplaying campaign where the world building is done by the players and the dm together as the story unfolds.

So, lets say the map is done in traditional hexes. All we know about the world to start with is the town, and the immediate hexes surrounding it. From there the world is built when needed. In his background a player declares his character comes from the mountains in far east... Okay, we’ll throw a mountain range some hundreds of miles to east of the town. And so on...

Would this kind of thing sound interesting?

I had one go the other way when the tip cracked a bit. Clicked on the button on the back, and launched an ink-tipped missile.

Fox News reporting LIVE from Texas as the first shot in the War of Succession begins. Shortly after Donald Trump took office as Governor of Texas Ted Cruz was named Lt. Governor. When in hours the great war to wrest Texas away from the liberal dystopia of the US begun. Our panel of "experts" will tell you what to think.


CNN reporting live from outside Texas, where we were banned. Shortly after disgraced former president Donald Trump took office as Governor of Texas, The US kicked Texas out of the union. A wall is being erected around the state to prevent any from leaving Texas. In a last ditch effort to gain freedom, a lawyer in Dallas/Fort Worth sends a plea for help in the form of an ink pen. We have analysis from both sides of the aisle trying to determine what this means.

Actually, GlassEye and I did this exact thing (table top, face to face) about 20 years ago using the random terrain generation of the first ed (A D&D) DMG. It was very interesting, it helped to fill out the big blank spots in his world, and it was very fun! We took turns DMing to keep it interesting.

So I come home today to find a hole in a pipe, and water spraying out - not a huge high-pressure leak or anything, but it took about fifteen minutes to vacuum up all the water on the floor after it was fixed.
I call my old man when I see the leak (it's his busted-arse house, after all, even if I'm the only one living here) and ask him if he's got any bits of rubber around to clamp onto the pipe to patch the leak.
He says he doesn't have anything to patch it with, so I should just turn the water off. (Gee, that never occurred to me...)
And then he asks me what time it is... I can hear from the background noise that he's down at the local casino.
I tell him it's 4:15 and he tells me "Well, I'll be home in about an hour and a half..."
Really, Pops? There's a leaking pipe and a big puddle of water on the floor, and you're going to be home two hours from now?
I dug around some of the crap in the heater room and finally found a bit of rubber to patch it with, but no pipe clamps. So I got my tools out of the trunk of my car and used some of my own stash of pipe clamps to patch up the hole. And spent fifteen minutes cleaning up the water with the old man's busted-arse forty-year-old ShopVac, because the little one that I have (had, apparently), which fits over the top of one of those five-gallon Home Depot buckets, took a walk at some point... I'm ninety percent positive that the old man borrowed it at some point and never brought it back.
Which is what happens to all my stuff.
Every time.
So now I'll have to wait until the weekend to find the time to repair the damn thing permanently. Which I probably won't be able to do since the <expletive><expletive><expletive> has my blowtorch as well.

Back in elementary school, we used to rebuild the insides of the pen into a launcher...

Well, the pen is mightier than the sword...

(Yes, all my containers of hobby supplies have smart-arse labels on them...)

It takes a committed, highly creative group of players who are invested in the project, but the results are generally pretty cool...



On the subject of Father's Day...

Remember when I played an odd sound coming from a radio station? Try this one on for size.
Use car audio or earbuds to get full effect.
