    GMing without an inner monologue.

    That is really interesting, thanks for sharing. I think the verbal aspect is similar to my wife's in that she doesn't have an inner monologue, but can create verbal "lists" (as she calls them) in order to execute tasks. Exactly me. And since most of the games I've played are so grid/miniatures...

    GMing without an inner monologue.

    @Staffan Too cool! Thanks so much! Just watched it and that's exactly what I was looking for. That first comment from @jazzygaming420 had me rolling:

    GMing without an inner monologue.

    Practical. I talked to a lot people today and think I have a clearer idea of how they might go about it. Coming from someone who's 100% verbal, 0% visual, this entire concept just blew my mind.

    GMing without an inner monologue.

    No, not at all. Just curious how they think. Specifically those that don't use an inner voice whatsoever. I was reading about people who thought "thought bubbles" in comics were just artistic license and didn't actually believe people thought to themselves that way. Curious how someone who...

    GMing without an inner monologue.

    I think you're right. I polled all my coworkers today and this seems to be very much on a gradient. For me, it's pretty much 100% of the time having a conversation with my self while others described thinking as pulling data out of folders. For instance, there's a meeting on Monday. In my...

    @Dannyalcatraz As another option, I also use my Instant Pot to make to make non-plain rice all the time, so that would work too! Here's a vid on brown rice, a vid on Jasmine, and another on Mexican for some examples.

    GMing without an inner monologue.

    I just got done watching The Killer (2023) which features a character that is constantly thinking to himself. Once it was over, I hopped online to read other's reviews of it and became puzzled at a few responses that didn't understand the "inner monologuing" that was happening. That led me down...

    I know it's expensive, but Zoji is a worldwide name for a reason. I've had mine for 6 years now and have been enjoying perfect rice twice a week. It's been especially nice for consistent sushi rice since that's one of my favorite dishes. I'd recommend the following, but they do offer many other...

    Shadowdark Setting Looks Set To Be 2025's First Million Dollar TTRPG Crowdfunder

    Well I just went all in on the standard set. I don't think I've ever been this excited about a TTRPG release.

    Only use I've found for sweet onions is Hawaiian potato mac salad. I imagine they're popular though with as much as they grow/stock them?

    Reminds me of the time my wife and I got condensed milk and evaporated milk mixed up. Our "dessert" mac n' cheese was so gross we haven't made the same mistake again!

    Cookin again

    I forgot to mention, what got me down this rabbit hole in the fist place was I read Chili's was no longer serving chili. I didn't even know it was on the menu! Did some digging and turns out that's how the restaurant started, serving beer and chili. That led to others claiming it was "Terlingua"...

    MSG, MSG, and more MSG! 😄 Never heard of it, but certainly will! I don't think I've ever cooked the same chili recipe twice. So much fun to hop around and try new ones. Even... Cincinnati variants! Oooh... for others that are interested, these look amazing...

    Been shopping around for a good Texas chili and think I found a winner here!: https://www.chattygourmet.com/archives/susans-terlingua-international-championship-chili/

    Sword & Sorcery or Bust

    Oh, that's just a personal preference of my own. Plenty of people have done it successfully, so I know it's possible. I just prefer games with more "meat" for extended, in-depth campaigns.

    Sword & Sorcery or Bust

    1. Hyperborea of course! Wait, not an option? I love SD, but would not use it for a serious and long campaign (it's my #1 goto for short ones though), so would choose BoL (despite not having tried it myself). Oh, past thread on S&S that's pretty good in case you haven't seen it. 2. In my games...

    As someone with limited time, this is awesome. Will certainly be going all in myself. 🤘

    OSR Does anybody know anything about this OSR adventure: Gods of the Forbidden North?

    Well this isn't true at all... Just because I don't agree with others that the lore needs to be changed doesn't mean I don't value their opinion. And shut them down? I engage so I can learn, also they can expound and talk more about it; kind of the opposite, right?. And "we all know why"? What...

    OSR Does anybody know anything about this OSR adventure: Gods of the Forbidden North?

    First off, that's amazing, congratulations. Clearly you don't need to take notes, haha. Second, disappointed you think the ENNIES are worthless. I think they're pretty valuable on shining a spotlight on lesser known creators and get them some much deserved recognition. Third, as for being...
