Just conducted my first Session 0 as a DM for a D&D 5e campaign. And it went well. One player left in the middle because I’m doing a high stakes risk/reward type of crunch for my game and he was looking for something casual. Like death is a real threat but anything deadly my players will know they’re taking that risk going in, and can run away from a fight if it’s looking bad for them. But that wasn’t the game he was fixing to play so I only have 4 players now which is fine. 

Hopefully my players have fun.

Rewatching Season 5 Episode 14 “Canterlot Boutique” and I realized something weird about how the conflict of the plot is depicted 

When Rarity makes the change to the dress, Sassy Saddles says the problem is that “they all have to be the same” but the problem when Rarity tries to give it to the client is that she ordered something completely different. So even Sassy doesn’t get the problem.

If Rarity instead took charge of her own damn business, and released that dress as “Princess Dress Deluxe” or “Princess Dress Aurora” or something similar, it would’ve done great because the people who want it would be buying it and not just having it thrown in when they ordered the original. 

Sassy is an asshole here still but that was a dumb decision or Rarity’s part from a customer service perspective.

I hope this ruined your day

My week has not been great, and my morning has been awful for the second day in a row 

but I’m fine, yeah totally. It’s cool. People just love being assholes 

Cursed thought, and any of you who play... really any ttrpg will probably hate what I'm about to describe. For this reason I am spoilering it, and warning you all as this is kinda body-horror-y.

If i was GMing a horror setting I would 100% use this without telling my players. I don't think I'd do it to a player, but I would have it be part of an encounter or a story element.

Dude, my past self was so cringe. Seriously wtf was wrong with me back then? Something was up with my head, and I cannot tell you what it was. Probably just teenage hormonal shite.

I'm about to go to bed, but tomorrow (technically today because it's past midnight) is my birthday, and I'm participating in Session 0 of a D&D campaign with some friends. I have put together my first ever druid, and I have packed so much flavor into this character. She's a variant Centaur I homebrewed, where the horse half is a deer half, and she smaller and weaker like deer (ran it by our DM, she said it's fine, and this is the only part I homebrewed) and reflavoring the star aspects of Circle of the Stars to be not about stars but still much more about the traditional nature stuff. I'm super excited to play her, I wrote a whole damn backstory and everything. Gonna be fun day tomorrow.

Was reading my old posts on here
And realized that while I seemed happier in some ways, I was also very cringe
idk if that's just blissful innocence or if I just got more sad over the years

But maybe I should be more outgoing like this past me was. That's one thing that me got right anyways. Just be less weird this time lmao

IT WILL STILL BE WARM

My business is now official, it shouldn't be too long before I can start marketing, and getting my first clients
I need to do a few things first but that shouldn't take more than a few days

Update, I'm in the process of establishing a proper divination business
Next Wednesday I'll be having a business advisor I've been talking to walk me through establishing my business name as an LLC (Limited-Liability Company, for those not living in the US, apparently it's exclusive to this country as a business model)

The LLC registration comes with a fee of $99, but that is fine since I should at least make that much back in sales and then some
I could be a sole proprietor and that has no fee, but then, because the business would be registered with my Social Security number, that means I have no liability protections, and my personal assets would be at risk in the case of a lawsuit or an audit, and we don't want that, so the LLC has alot of advantages, and I believe it even has some tax exemptions, so thats cool

I do have a name for my business picked out, its subject to change until Wednesday but I will not say it here just yet, but I do really like the name, and it will probably be sticking around

And as for reading in house at that store I mentioned, I have no been contacted because of complications the owner of the store had, I don't know when they'll be contacting me now, so that is put on hold. That's fine though, that just gives me more time to focus on my personal business

I might be getting a gig as a card reader at a local metaphysical shop nearby, I got in touch with the owner and they're gonna hit me up in a few weeks! Very excited!
