                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the new Tomodachi Life soon to be released, I figured I'd make a thread to contain the wacky shenanigans that happen on my island. Other people can post about their Tomodachi islands as well if we want a single thread to contain them, or this can just be a thread for my own game. I'm fine either way.</p>
<p>The game isn't out yet, but I did upload a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQWCRrLLGNs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compilation of me completing the demo</a>.</p>
<p>First islander is my friend <a href="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/251209788875079680/1486735256747900938/image.png?ex=69dc565b&amp;is=69db04db&amp;hm=0134de0a80a0088c02609ed0917374b9f40a45e2b642c6ede66f6fcf4c6e47d7&amp;" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blinkpen's OC, Bianca</a>. I added her specifically as a challenge to see if I could make a convincing Mii using all the new features. I think she came out alright! I might tweak the metal half of her face, though, it might go a little too far back. There's definitely some room for improvement, but I'm happy enough with her for now. She immediately tests the game's (lack of) profanity filter, as her father is an evil dictator who she hopes to dethrone some day.</p>
<p>She makes quick friends with Graylef, my evil clone or whatever. My spouse wants our Miis to be married, so I added a doppelganger of myself so that I can vicariously live through him as he falls in love with Shrek or Goku or whoever. After the video, I tweaked him slightly, flipping his hair so that it mirrors my own.</p>
<p>Finally is Dracula Flow, which is a Mii I found on <a href="https://tomodachishare.com/profile/1865" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tomodachishare.com, made by Lochnessmonster_1107</a>. They knocked it out of the park, I think. I might remove the eyes behind his glasses, that might be funnier.</p>
<p><img class="transparent shrinkToFit" src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/436282838552412161/1492812065755369603/image.png?ex=69dcb113&amp;is=69db5f93&amp;hm=f0ecba150e0ab29bc62bf0608390f39f6ca3cdc9a56eacd03ba729781eccde63&amp;" alt="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/436282838552412161/1492812065755369603/image.png?ex=69dcb113&amp;is=69db5f93&amp;hm=f0ecba150e0ab29bc62bf0608390f39f6ca3cdc9a56eacd03ba729781eccde63&amp;" width="675" height="279" /></p>
<p>Bianca and Graylef now refer to each other as Blanca and Gray Guy. This nickname system is going to add so much character to the game, I can't wait. Dracula also tests the profanity filter. He has a few notable catchphrases he'd ideally say, but the character limit on those phrases is pretty tight. You can kinda cheat, though, as the character limit for the <em>pronunciation</em> is a bit longer. So while his text simply says "fuckin KILL you", I eventually set it so that out loud, he says "<em>I'll</em> fuckin' KILL you." It might just be long enough to get him to pronounce "this shit ain't nothin' to me, man." Maybe I'll test that out in the full game.</p>
<p>Overall, a very compelling demo. Gives you JUST enough to get you excited for the full game. I can't wait for the full release on Thursday!</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was replying to the introductions thread, and got confused when my post didn't show up. It looks to me like the page cache for the thread didn't get invalidated. I was able to see the post by adding ?cachebust=1 to the url (to make it a different cache item.) It looks to me like an issue with caching server side, as it was still acting like this even when I force refreshed the page.</p>

<p>I'm going to try doing my top 10 for the following categoriessss<br /><br /><br /><br />Wherein Athen is the Primary Subject (It was incredibly hard not to pick damn near every g-pose i have done because god there are so many and Athen is so easy on the eyes to me..). I'll start with my very first g-poses and sort of go chronologically. You might even notice when I start getting really good at posing! (lol)</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey I'm gonna start shouting about one of my longest-term hobbies in the world!<br /><br /><strong>Tabletop RPGs</strong> are an extremely neat hobby where you and (possibly) some friends get together to shoot the shit and imagine a shared story modified by some dice rolls, or card pulls, or some other randomizing element (or not necessarily a randomizing element at all!) I've been playing since my pre-teens, ever since I first found the dog-eared rulebooks for Cyberpunk 2020 in my cousins's bedroom. After Cyberpunk and RuneQuest (both games with popularity over here since they got official localisations in the 90s) I've been the gamemaster for decades of Dungeon &amp; Dragons, Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, RuneQuest and myriad other games mostly to small friend groups over time. I am the dread "Eternal GM" but that suits me fine because I like being the mad conductor lol<br /><br />My current crop of games is:<br /><br />- A run-through of the old Call Of Cthulhu megacampaign <strong>Horror On The Orient Express</strong>, which has been ongoing for... four years now, I think? We're nearing the home stretch so maybe by next year the awful investigation into horrors beyond man's comprehension across Europe is getting wrapped up. This is my second classic Cthulhu megacampaign I've run (I ran another one, <strong>Beyond The Mountains Of Madness</strong>, for a different group of players from 2016-2020) and while they are a chore and demand some hefty commitment, they have been some of my favorite games to run so far in my life. I am eyeing the granddaddy of them all, <strong>Masks Of Nyarlahotep </strong>next... but that is a completely different beast even in the megacampaign genre.<br /><br />- My own homemade <strong>Dungeons &amp; Dragons </strong>campaign, which I am running for the second time for a different group of people in what is possibly my first time ever doing that for stuff I've prepared/written all by myself. Concerning a group of tax collectors who get embroiled in a would-be lich's plan to come back to life in a tropical island setting, I originally ran this in a gaming club for at-risk youth I volunteered at for a few years and dusted it off when our gaming server had an influx of people looking for a game but only wanting D&amp;D. It's been fun visiting, but for personal reasons I hope that this will be the last D&amp;D game I ever run. Too much other stuff out there!<br /><br />- Speaking of other stuff, tomorrow night I am wrapping up the set of five starter scenarios for <strong>The One Ring</strong>, concerning the adventures of a group of inquisitive hobbits in The Shire around and during one high summer. It's much lighter in tone than TOR normally is (which, IMO, captures the tone and weight of Tolkien's prose beautifully as a game) but even so I've fallen in love with running it and wouldn't mind spinning this off into a longer-term thing if some of my hobbits also feel the bite for more Middle-Earth.<br /><br />- And finally, a trio of some of my oldest friends asked in January if we wanted to set up an RPG circle of our own and I of course offered to GM for them. We agreed on doing short adventures of 1-3 sessions in different games in order to sample what RPGs can be all about! So far we started off with Feng Shui 2, are currently going through a Call Of Cthulhu haunted house adventure and for the next... well, I will maybe propose Fiasco! or something similar. <br /><br />So, what are you currently playing? What are your favorite games, systems or settings? Do you prefer one-shots and shorter scenarios to long-term campaigns?</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>The Wonders of Mundus is my queer-ass cyberpunk as isekai setting about the various queerdoes trapped on Mundus, the setting of hit 2041-2047 VR-MMORPG <em>The Wonders of Mundus</em> published by <em>The Other Worlds Tourism LLC</em> out of San Francisco.</p>
<p>The <em>Song of Io </em>series of novels is about the party depicted above, Free Company <em>Dungeoncrawling And Chill, </em>starring Deedee Yeowoo on the left - who's shell got cracked by by living as her foxgirl Cleric (and later Entertainer) avatar.  With no way to log out, she and her compatriots (left to right) Akira "Hikaru Aozora" Tsukuda, Taiyan Morgan "Ace Striker" Zhu, Alesha "Herezhade" Jeffords, Sharon "Siobhan Greenwood" Hunter, and Jules "Sekhmet Clanclan" Coujuangco must earn the favor of the newly sapient former NPC <em>Mundanes</em> and aid them in their battle against the sinister Griefers, a group of neonazi gamergater fuckheads who would colonize Mundus and make it scream like it's the 2020's all over again.</p>
<p>I've frequently tapped Shane to draw art for this, some much sillier than others, but including <a href="https://taliaellib.itch.io/shores-of-awakening-comic-ft-snickerdoodle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A COMIC BOOK I WROTE ABOUT THIS GIRL</a> DANG PICK IT UP HERE among other things.  I have also posted links to <a href="https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/deedeequest-or-the-wonders-of-mundus-be-careful-who-you-pretend-to-be-a-genderous-isekai-quest.91343/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deedeequest on the Sufficient Velocity forums,</a> crosslinking updates to it on the Discord: I'll continue doing that here!</p>
<p>Please, feel free to ask me anything about this! I can't promise to answer spoilery questions, but this project has been a labor of love since before I published Deedeequest in 2021, and I plan on writing this to the bitter end along with my cowriter Rebecca Malsin, the Pixie Whisperer and writer of earthside interludes ft. People Who Know Spoilers.</p>]]></content:encoded>
