And even more D&D brainstorming in 15 minutes

I have another session coming up on Friday! I don't think my party reads my blog. If you do--STOP IT!

So pretty much I have to think about ways that they may go after finding out that they're secretly royals and the queen is seeking them out.

  • Go to the queen
    • She is looking for them and the scholar knows who they are so this would make sense
    • They can then submit to trials to see if they are worthy of being her successor
    • They will be kept in lavish settings
    • There will be court intrigue for them to maneuver 
      • This would mean I need to come up with the court
  • Go to the queen's brother
    • The queen did go to extreme measures so perhaps they don't trust her
    • They can join the plot to kill the queen
      • Means that they need to build trust with him first
    • They can be used to try and become the queen's successor so the brother can have power
    • Court intrigue for them to maneuver
      • This would mean I need to come up with the court
  • Find other royals (can be part of any other plan)
    • Four others
      • 1 in Riocht, brought to queen, ambitious, female
      • 1 in Tuaithe, being brought to queen, unsure, wants to the lavish life but not responsibility, they
      • 1 in Tir, being brought to brother, hates the queen for what she did, male
      • 1 in Bhardas, being brought to queen, unsure, secretive, they
      • 5 others who didn't want to be brought to the queen
  • Decide to raise their own reputation before making a move
    • They may want to claim the throne but have their own support first
    • Chances for lots of side campaigns to save small communities
    • They could go to where Poem is a folk hero already
  • Return to Baile (can be part of any other plan)
    • They did take horses so perhaps they want to return them
    • Maybe they want to check to see if the town woke up for sure
    • Maybe they want to chat with Durogark again
  • Ask the scholar to come with them (this can be a part of any other plan)
    • Knowledgeable, good guide, connections
    • Resistant to leave because this is where the queen stationed her and she's loyal
      • Need high persuasion to get her to leave her post
      • A good argument could also get her to leave
  • Completely ignore it
    • I hope they don't take this option
    • Then they have to decide what they want to do and the world becomes even wider
    • Maybe they'll leave Riocht and I have to come up with another world
      • They could then claim to represent the royal family

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica...

15 ways to support me on my parental journey

I posted yesterday and in August, 2023 about starting my parental journey. If you're wondering how you can support me, here are some ideas I have at the moment (though these may change and also don't feel pressured to do any of these things). Check in via text or DM so I can respond at my leisure (but please don't be insulted if I take a long time to respond) Help with arranging food for me (I know that when I get overwhelmed, I often have really awful eating habits) Offer to help with apartment chores (I may turn you down, but the offer will mean a lot) Walk Hoban (I realize only some people can do this, but the relief of lightening the responsibility of Hoban will likely be welcome) Be understanding if I have to cancel plans (I hope to still be somewhat social during this time, but I cannot guarantee how I'm going to feel) Drive me to appointments (I have the retrieval itself covered, but I have other appointments that will happen leading up to it so if you have the...
