FWIW, St. Paddy's in Temple Bar five years ago. I'm sure 90% of the people here were tourists.

Rewatched "Derry Girls" with @Rheall and co. It's so good! Happy St. Paddy's Day, eh!

Anyhoo. Tis fun!

Oíche mhaith duibh! / Good night to you all!

One of the fun things about this style of preparation is that it emphasizes preparing just enough material to get things started. I have ideas on those cards that were never used, or were contradicted by what actually happened in game. But because I didn't go into a tonne of detail, that's not a big deal.

Hello! I've recently started running a #SavageWorlds campaign. Following advice from "The Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master", I've been using recipe cards for preparation. Here's my mass of cards from a few weeks ago.

Is tuirseach mé, agus táim go codladh. Oíche mhaith libh!

Or, "I'm tired, and I'm going to bed. Good night!"

Stuff I got wrong:
I originally wrote "tuairseach", which means "anxious".
I doubt I said "going to bed" correctly, I haven't learned the tense.
I wanted to say "now", but I couldn't remember the word. It's "anois".

So, that's not bad for a sentence off the top of my noggin!

Good night!

Then I hit for max damage and slayed the dire wolf, huzzah! And I still have one HP left!

Playing 5e with my elven fighter Aoife Carnán. So far I've rolled fours on both my attack rolls. Whee.

@mpjgregoire Hmm. I can't say I know much about verb conjugations, but they've been mostly straightforward thus far.

Things I find interesting about "An bhfuil a cuid airgid agat?":

1. Again, the subject is in the preposition at the end.
2. "airgid" is the genitive plural for "money" ("airgead").
3. We have to use the word "cuid" (share) because money is countable.
4. "a cuid" is "her [share]", not "his [share]" (which would be "a chuid") or "their [share]" ("a gcuid").

#gaeilge

I'm going to unpack this slightly.

"Cén fáth" translates to "why"
"go bhfuil" roughly translates to "to be"
"briste bán" = "white trousers"
"ort" means "on you" (singular)

So the subject of the conversation is baked into the preposition at the very end. #gaeilge

I started doing Irish lessons on Duolingo again recently, and I got this on my first try! Tá áthas orm / I'm happy. :D #gaeilge #gaeilgeoir

Full disclosure: I want to go home and play some more Dragon Quest XI. As a responsible adult I shouldn't and I won't, but...

@rheall Here's a Twine game I played some years back that I thought was pretty neat: https://ztul.itch.io/the-uncle-who-works-for-nintendo

@rheall I would definitely play around with Twine. You have to learn the markup (for whatever system you decide to use), but IIRC there's some sort of web frontend you can use to build your game, and people can play it in their browsers

Woo, good Critical Hit Show tonight! #dndlive

@rheall There is nothing to fear but penguins with explosives
