    You don’t question my professional decision-making unless you bring receipts to the table. If you’re going to try to vibe-argue me in my area of expertise I will fucking dismantle you publicly. Bring receipts and I will listen.

        I’m … ah … in old-timey terms Kinsey 2. I think the kiddies would call me “pan”.

            Well, SO and I have very strict rules about bringing new people into the relationship.

            Do you play tabletop games? RPGs, board games, card games?

              I play a lot of Fluxx, and I love Tue gentler end of TTRPGs like Last Night on Earth. I do silly voices for it.

              I have a dream for GMIng the casual TTRPGs that are collaborative storytelling over maths. I’m not competitive.

              Thay being said, I’m usually in Europe most of the time :-/

                Fluxx is loads of fun! And if you mean “story games” I’ve got FATE, Spark (and its descendants) and StoryEngine on my shelf (some of the very few games that I have physical copies of).

                  Fate was what I was thinking of using to GM with! Reading about Spark, that sounds like it would work too … does it have a different emphasis?

                  After September I’ve made it a mission to go to some of the language exchange social groups near where I live, and if I can find some like-minded people at one of them I was thinking of starting that sort if game to help people with B1 or higher English level improve their language while playing :-)

                  I don’t have any formal qualifications, but my mother was always very strict with elocution and correct English*, so I can help with pronounciation and grammar.

                  Last time I tried going to an RPG group I did one evening of Pathfinder, and that really wasn’t my thing - hence the emphasis on storytelling

                    Spark is like collaborative story-telling where the dice come out when people disagree on what happens. It focuses on characters having their beliefs challenged and either confirmed or altered. It’s one of my absolute favourite games. It’s currently available for free (Genesis of Legend puts their games into the public domain after a decade).

      I love this. I’m the same being in regulatory services. I get talked down to a lot by different sexes and cultures because I’m POC and female. They can try to take me down, but I dish it out just as hard if not harder, and with a smile.

        A good sweet smile while you rip out their guts and hang them as garlands around their neck (metaphorically speaking … mostly) is really good for generating fear.
