oanjaOkay so nanowrimo starts on Friday... I still haven't locked in which story I actually want to write. I'm kind of leaning towards going with my fantasy idea, but the problem with that is that it's never going to be finished in 50k and then I'd be left with something I would need to keep working on after nano is over, which did not work out last time I won nano (still haven't finished that story) If I go with one of the romance novel ideas instead I think I have a much better chance doing a story from start to finish. I'll have to think about it some more.
In rpg news, I bought a new tabletop rpg book (or books). It's called Legend of the Five Rings and it's basically a fantasy feudal Japan - the game. I looked into it as much as I could before buying it and it doesn't seem to be offensive but I think some might think it's cultural appropriation. I dunno, I always feel kind of ambivalent about this stuff when it comes to Japan, as they happily do similar things to other cultures (look at any anime ever). idk, anyway the point is I love history and magic and would love to play a samurai... :D Also there doesn't seem to be any gender locked stuff, so you can be a woman warrior etc and not just locked into being a healer or something. I just got the book tonight so I don't have time to read much of it, but I'm looking forward to it.
I've been watching this playthrough of the new Fire Emblem game and really wish it was on PS4 and not just on Switch, but being able to watch the game has been fun too. Adam is almost done with it (I think) and afterwards I'm going to go look for fic and art, because I bet there's a ton. Here's the first episode if someone else is interested. The host, Adam is queer and seems lovely in general, his commentary is really funny too
