REVENGE on @krowfaced !!

Had SO much fun drawing this dude! I made him a little wormy in terms of anatomy, sorry i just wanted to push the pose—his design calls for movement!!! XD

As far as game complexity is concerned, women do not get any sympathy from me. All my players are expected to handle my system or to learn eventually. I do not run an “affirmative action” campaign. Everyone has to deal with their own feelings of game anxiety. I am sorry if women stereotype themselves into thinking that they’ll never learn the system (as a couple of my female players did) but I am not going to make my campaign simpler just for them.

To note, Bill Selig wrote this shortly before describing a dungeon trap in a kitchen that denigrates and demeans players by feminizing them and turning them submissive, surely a legacy of Norman's Gorian world as well. This attitude towards women, both in casually sexualizing them and also condescending to them about the high barrier of entry, has been influenced heavily by other huge names and we know this because Norman's books and the treatment of women as happy and sexually subservient in the setting of Gor gets discussed often enough in the early RPG discourse.

Another thing to mention is the prevalence of bad history being recommended in order to insert "realism" into settings, overwhelmingly influenced bt premodern Europe at the time in the scene (and even now). Frederich Heer's Charlemagne and His World, whose approach to medieval history was seeming outdated even in 1975 when it was published, has been a staple in the recommended historical reading lists in RPGs set in premodern Europe well into the 90s. Same is true for Jonathan Riley-Smith’s The Crusades: A Short History (1987).

Got my cpap and holy shit the difference. I am actually rested when I go to bed at a reasonable time. I no longer need daily 2-4 hour naps just to function.

And I also suspect that it might be helping me not get as many colds, because that nightly airflow clears things out.

I'm really glad I have my cpap now and everything is better, but also wish I had got tested earlier, because maybe if I'd caught this sooner I wouldn't have developed some of the other health issues I deal with. But I thought I was so tired all the time because I'm a parent and autistic.
