Well my pc screen (and not the computer itself) suddenly died on me. :?

I'm trying to see if there's anything I can do, but it seems so far to be complete death. Strangest thing was that it happened so suddenly without any prior problems with the screen.
Oh nooooooooooooooooooo...

I don't want to win the bet by default!

I will rush to get a new screen tomorrow because I can't live without my computer. Or live this long with phone posting. :lol:

Don't mind me, just always phone posting everything. *cries*

But seriously, hope the new screen is easily gotten and very enjoyable, Faily!

Absent my books, increasing anything but rings and existing skills seems... unlikely. :lol:

My not-exactly pious character has little to draw her to the temple event.

Claim the test doesn't matter, punch the nearest Phoenix in the face, and sail away consequence-free.

Mantis were very much acing the Mantis event designed by a Mantis judge so the Mantis competitors could shine. What a surprise.

No-book question- is Fitness martial?


5E's goddamn fiddly-ass mechanics are making the crunchy bits of this game a real tooth-grinder for me.
