A friend reminded me of the old shijou.moe fan radio for idolmaster that I used to listen to religiously while playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 with them.
It’s crazy to think it went down at the end of 2018… it’s been more than 2000 days since it was gone… so sad…
And then the place I took refuge at, animenfo.com went down about a year or so later… which was like a curse.
After that I think I fled to yggdrasilradio.com? But I haven’t used it in years.
Actually just remembering made me want it back to the old idolmaster, so I went to the reddit to see if there’s any substitutes for it.
Hopefully there’s some good place I can use, back then I did actually consider trying to download all the idolmaster music but it was like 1000 songs on that radio alone, and it was already a curated collection. Can you imagine how many they have released since then? There’s an entire new branch of the franchise now too!

I want to know what the secret power to naming characters is.
That is my greatest weakness.
Well, and naming places, but mostly characters.

I always get stumped or have to do loads of research finding out what to name them, and in fantasy it’s harder because… you just have to have something that sounds good! But isn’t a real name?
HOW?!

I have to go to a meeting tomorrow, and I just realised I hadn’t updated the folder for the meeting with my new materials…
I am supremely screwed. I need to go through and put everything on it now, and also try to justify why there was a gap in uploads because it makes me look like I did everything last minute.
This is what I get for trying to avoid logging in to the system because I got uncomfortable with the events of the last meeting.

1200!
Honestly it’s such a nice round number that I want to celebrate it as a milestone, but 1250 is a more reasonable milestone because it’s a quarter-mark.
Can we celebrate both even though they’re only 50 chapters apart?
Actually I say that but 50 chapters is still several weeks away…
Closer than you think though! Because there will soon be catchup chapters released!

Wooo backlog clearing!
So many to schedule! (Not fun for me, but fun for you!)

Sometimes there is a special miracle that happens in my routine.
It’s when I have a shop day but the shop also has a discount on pain au chocolats about to hit their shelf life.
Half price on those, a steal.
Even better if they legally can’t sell it the next day so they basically shove it at you.
Those are good days.

I have no idea what to write here, so I am just going to elaborate on some feedback I got from players about my D&D campaign.
Specifically the two character concepts I have been provided so far. I decided to go characters first, story second for this campaign, just because I usually do the reverse. I wonder how this will work out.
The first is someone that wants to play an undead wizard, not a big problem, I have lich-lite race options, though the rest of the details are oddly specific. They want it to be a seafarer that died at sea and recently reawoke. I am not sure how I am going to work this in, but I’ll see what I can do with the concept while working around other concepts before I approach them with options.
The second is someone who wants to play something fey, also not a problem, I have a plethora of fey related race options. Not to mention the official fairy. I am hoping I can nudge them into the dryad race I have, just because I have a concept for making their tree be one next to the parties main inn. My working idea if they go with it is to make the tree having been destroyed some time back in a storm, but they do a ritual to preserve the dryads spirit, and later transfer it to a new tree. For whatever reason this process loosened the binding to the tree enough for the dryad to travel, or some other shenanigan is at play depending on how I develop the story. The main feature I want to include is that the dryads tree is sort of a symbol of the inn. If they decide to go for a proper fey I have other ideas in my pocket too, specifically I like to homebrew my feywild in D&D to be more like fairy britain in FGO, though with a heavier nature theme. I like that kind of sideways morality the fairies have in fate, where they single-mindedly pursue their central concept. I think that works really well in D&D for displaying how they don’t really fit human morality, while also making it so they can still be placed on the classic alignment system.
I did get feedback from a third player (out of the four main player candidates, this is good!) but they didn’t have anything distinct in mind, just a few races they feel like playing. One of which was also fey themed… am I just going to end up with a player party that is immune to “hold person” at this rate? Well, I guess once I opened the floodgates to anything on the full list of homebrew content I have I should have expected this. I’ll step in if they start picking weird classes, but the races I can handle.

In a bit of a rush, so no real ramble today.
I’m going to immediately pass out after this.
I am exhausted and have a busy week ahead of me.

I find it interesting when you can tell someone is going through a phase or something.
I brought this up because as I was transcribing the anime dnd content into the software I noticed both of the two most recent subclass option additions used a summoned ally statblock.
For specifics, the Shadow Commander (Solo Levelling themed) subclass and the Circle of Spirits (ReZero themed) subclass both have summoned allies.
None of the previous ones had this at all, so it’s clearly the source of inspiration for them.

Neat little thing to see.
Was a bit of a pain to software implement though.
