Well, there was the story of Yours, Mine, Ours, and Base Camp. Though I don't know if that entirely qualifies. But it was entirely off the cuff, so, here's a one in a million game session story involving Ours the donkey.

I'm sure this will all be concluded one way or another in less than an hour in-story

Shh, if toon physics are working just run with it and don't ask questions

At first I forgot Larry was a cat (American here), and then my brain replaced 'brought down' with 'put down,' and I'm obviously going to need some extra caffeine before I do anything serious...

Massive copper vats that are run into a collection of pipes to distribute water for different needs, using mechanical or pneumatic pump systems along with hydraulic pressure to keep it moving sounds rather dwarfy to me as well.

I was thinking about meltwater from snowcaps for mountain-dwellers. Then my brain went to those videos of massive sheets of snow sliding off rooves. From there I got dwarves triggering avalanches off purpose-carved areas through particulate filters to great vats for water collection and useage.

I like the idea, it works. I've enjoyed the concept that paladin power is very transactional and active: you have to be actually out there doing things to be rewarded, and the rewards are both temporary and proportional to what you do. Mantles sound like a fitting addition

The Atlantic has an AI Watchdog that will tell you which of your videos have been stolen to train AI models. I’m not sure if anything can be done about it, but at least 42 of my videos have been used to train stupid AI. Great. www.theatlantic.com/category/ai-...

money, connections, or fame, you can get into an actual school that's just there for education, which is typically more robust in what it teaches. And then if you are extremely well off, you can get a personalized education via private tutor, probably an Artisan skilled in teaching and a specialty

There's a mixture of systems. Apprenticeship is the typical method at the lower end of the economic spectrum and in less populous areas. There are institutions that have their own training programs (the Guild, various religious schools) you can enroll in for money or fealty. If you have a lot of

Also wanting to reshare this if you still want to vote! Even though I am already starting work there's always time.

ruling classes' households, for the entertainment of residents and guests. The Mara, being able to alter their appearance significantly and feeding through skin-to-skin touch, are highly represented in sex work, but most intelligent species do save for the Dalis (who are aro ace by default)

Generally speaking it's considered a trade, similar to farming, working at an inn, or being a longshoreman. The Guild includes brothels and escorts, there's any number of independent sex workers and folks using it as side hustle particularly at inns and similar. Consorts are regular members of the

The Skokul (whom, you may remember, begin their lives as mushrooms), do not typically indulge. The best explanation they've given is that for them it's a feeling akin to being in an extremely dull, irritating party you can't leave. And sometimes itchy.

Alcohol is around in various forms. In the underground caverns the Skokul originated in, there's a variety of mushroom spore that when prepared and ingested, provides a feeling described as being included in a large, friendly crowd whose conversation is a muffled, vaguely familiar language.

I basically don't. From what I understand tea, for all the talk about it being a diuretic, does provide some net hydration. Moreso if it isn't caffeinated. I drink a ridiculous amount of tea, to the level that all signs indicate I'm well hydrated.

We continue to split the vote as much as possible

More insidious and far-reaching are the crop blights or weather that can ruin a harvest. The damage might not be felt 'til months later as stores run low, and can affect entire regions, making the pain all the more acute. The more fantastical are the unquiet dead, rising from their graves and
