"But what about Luke?" Tatooine was not detached from galactic politics.

Today’s inktober prompt was ‘flightless.’ I do this in real life too. If I think I might need something and don’t bring it, I end up needing it. Whereas if I do bring it, I don’t end up needing it. Hard to know what the day will bring sometimes 😂

System- world of darkness (mage the ascension)

In my San Fransisco chronicle the mage cabal sent the verbena into the sewers to search for tremere who were making viate drug to make a proxy army of crackheads. They ran into some hungry dead (vampires from Asia) who felt he might be a spy but the Kuei Jin were interrupted by a tzimice flesh monster attacking them so the rat verbena mage escaped

So basically I'm playing a druid who was raised by bears and came up with his name on the spot (tabel) and the party wizard is both annoyed and regularly amused by him and his antics and the wizard character (not the player) definitely thinks he's better than my 8 int druid

So the wizard thinking whatever magic tabel can do he can do better tries to force himself to wild shape. he rolled like 10 on arcana and basically got stuck in a partial wild shape where he has six pig nipples going down his torso

The moral of the story is.... probably something profound

DrScrimble's Guide to playing a Chinese PC as someone with 34 years experience being Chinese:

1. Create a character concept you like. Think about their demeanor, their skills, their aspirations, their fears, their quirks.

2. Once you have that, additionally add that they are Chinese.

3. Congratulations, you've made a Good Chinese PC.

"What if I don't know anything about Chinese culture?"

That is fine and normal. Your PC doesn't have to either. No one's ethnicity *inherently* connects them to their ancestral culture. I have many PoC friends and family members who are culturally indistinguishable from "average" Americans.

"I don't want to come off as charaicature."

If you're devoted to roleplaying a character it's honestly hard to do that. If you want your PC to be a space pilot, have a pet tarantuala, and be deathly afraid of caves, then that's all compelling regardless of their ethnicity or gender.

If you make an honest mistake, say "damn I didn't know, sorry guys, thanks for informing me" and move on. If your table can't handle that graciously, that's a red flag for table culture.

Today’s comictober prompt was ‘autumn pet peeve.’
