It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Seems like a Neuromancer collaboration would have made more sense, but I'll take all the C64's I can.

Interesting. I started a similar project with tbaMUD (continued dev of CircleMUD) to Rust in an effort to learn Rust. I'd offer to help, but am currently consumed with converting to Evennia (Python) right now.

Sweet. Was just looking into a Sheets alternative this weekend. Now I can fully get my gaming sessions off of Google.

Great book. This one & "Mud Game Programming" by Ron Penton & the CircleMUD Documentation Project are also very good resources.

Evennia is great. I've been a user & supporter for a couple of years now. I highly recommend taking a look at it to anyone interested in MUDs. One day, I'll actually finish my CircleMUD conversion...

This article sums up precisely why I don't mind being a "forever GM".

I'm constantly researching new things to flesh out game ideas for my groups to add flavor, immersion & a sense of "reality" to my players' worlds & I love doing it. It almost makes running the actual games for them, an afterthought to tide me over to the new thing to learn about & implement. Great article!

I was literally building my own version of this with madness this morning to go from Obsidian to web in my workflow. Thanks for speeding things up for me. Great work!

This is great. Created a character generator & editor for my TTRPG group in about 5 minutes. Haven't dug too deep yet, but it created a working baseline that I was hoping for. Thanks! Will definitely be an eye on this. Keep up the good work!

Wow, great work. This is exactly something I was getting geared up to do for myself. Thanks for sharing!

The Foxfire books ever since I was little. It's a series of books documenting traditional skills like crop growing, fiddle making, blacksmithing, plumbing, foraging, cooking, etc. as done by rural people in Appalachia. They contain all kinds of valuable information in them as well as a good source of life skills & fun hobbies. I recommend them to everyone.

The softer they are, the more ripe they are. Outwards, they may have a spot of browning towards the overripe end like a banana. The ones that I usually go for are green with a slight give.

I've been harvesting these in the wild for years. They are pretty difficult to describe in flavor (banana/mango/tropical being a good approximation), as the flavor isn't consistent even between close patches. They have about a 3 week ripe window mid-to-end August (depending on the shade) in my area when they should be harvested. I typically just push on the slender tree & if any fall; they're ripe. It's best to harvest them, halve them, scoop them into a freezer bag, and use when desired. It's the only way I've found to be able to preserve them & the delicate flavor some of them tend to have.

Oh man. Great find! I stumbled across this a few months ago while researching gritty 90's BLJ + mirrorshades cyberpunk for a game setting I'm working on (pre-the current cyan + magenta synth-pop conceptualization). If you end up liking GUNHED, some others that might be up your alley to look up: Hardware (1990), 964 Pinnocchio (1991), Testsuo: The Iron Man (1989), and Burst City (1982).
