  • If I’m world building and not just borrowing, then I go into decent detail. I have a set table of information I try to have fleshed out for every capital city and then another important city in whatever country. So in terms of that, it can get granular.

    Cities usually go something like

    • Brief history, population, population type
    • Government type
    • Law level (lax, moderate, authoritarian, etc), literacy level
    • City culture
    • Important places/holidays/NPCs
    • Famous dish
    • Intrigue

    Some of these are left unanswered if they’re too much, but I generally try to at least get a handle on how strict the law is, how smart the people are, and the culture and food. This helps me get a clear enough image to envelope my players in any one city. I personally also have a lot of fun trying to think of the dishes, ice flowers drizzled with fruit juices in this desert city, while an underground settlement has fried mushrooms and cow beetle steaks.

    I also prefer to leave the imagery of a certain city up to an image as that can really inspire me to go from whatever I’m looking at.







  • A box of Zatarans jambalaya, whatever vegan sausage you like (I am not veg, so I use kielbasa), and a can of pinto or black beans. Just throw them all in the pot and cook according to directions. I also throw in some frozen bell peppers near the end.

    Speaking of frozen bell peppers- grab a handful of those, some small diced frozen potatoes, frozen chopped onion if you’re feeling fancy. Or raw. Both are fine. Toss all in a bowl and throw in some oil, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and some paprika, along with salt and pepper (or taco seasoning). Mix well, bake according to potato package instructions. When it comes out, fry up an egg how you prefer, throw some cheese on top and hit it with a little sour cream. Perfection. And comes together in like 10-15 minutes.

    Breakfast burritos are cheap and easy. Or breakfast sandwiches.



  • Bruh - I’m tomboy, was raised to out-compete other boys, and am gay as can be.

    The only time there’s ever been a fishy smell that’s been noticable above clothing was from someone with an infection, which is usually caused by poor hygiene. Sometimes that smell can linger, especially in a washroom if their bits have been exposed.

    The only other thing I can think of is if someone has been menstruating into a pad that’s overdue for a change? Blood and the whole mucus and others that come from a woman can give a pretty horrible scent. But that’s gotta be so rare, and again, usually coincides with poor hygiene practices.

    Everyone has a different scent (and taste), but it’s so rare (unless you’re between another’s legs) that you’ll smell it. Those jokes are in poor taste just like small dick jokes are. Men are just as capable of smelling awful down there, too. No one gender is particularly prone to stank more than the other.

    So if you have at least okay hygiene practices and you’re not trying to paint the walls with your vagina, you’re fine.
