the weather's been all over the place this week. and I've suffered for it.

*sympathy*

Look. I helped an author with his book launch. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4529473232

*cackling because she managed to pull a fast one on one of her players and that player JUST REALIZED WHAT SHE DID*

Oh oh. O_O

Also, I saw a guy bust one of the market windows today.

It's fine. My players know that I would rather they speak up if something makes them uncomfortable, and that I will work with them on things (I have had a bad DM before who sprung something on the party that ended up triggering me badly and unexpectedly to the point where I was ready to up and quit the game over it), and this particular player and I have been coming up with some stuff that will be great for storytelling purposes.

Oh dear. You okay?

Also. everything I've found says that American Girl clothing patterns would work for expanding Taryn's wardrobe, with minor adjustments for length (especially for skirts, dresses, and pants, because Maplelea Girls have longer legs than AGs).

I hope I never sprung something on you that bad.

Yeah. I wound up with a slight asthma attack and a pain in one eye, but they're not around now.

Ohhh, that's nice! Have I ever shown you any pictures of my 18inch girl?

I can't think of anything you did that triggered me into a panic attack the way that DM did. That DM also loved to mess with me outside of the game by being intentionally difficult to read. He knew I'm Autistic and struggle with vocal tone and sarcasm.

I'm glad you weren't hurt.

I don't recall if you have.

Ack, so I did panic you? I'm sorry.

Grrrrr, that's mean, though.

Ahhh. I'll have to try and remember to do that. She's Harper, from Canadian Tire.

The book I was on the launch team for. I get a signed paperback copy.

no, you didn't do anything. my bad DM did.

Oh. I'm glad.
