#introduction

Hello, my name is not Humphrey and I've joined c.im recently.
I've got a profile set up, so the next step apparently is an #introduction post.
I like #humour (note the u), #Discworld, #nature, #cycling and there's plenty of other stuff I'm in to that I think it is silly to try to reduce to a single word label when there's more nuance to it than that. (e.g. #music, but not the jazz or country stuff, or opera, but most other genres, but also more exceptions now I come to think about it, don't generally like reggae for example...) You see how just 'music' is... not enough?

I also like not doing too much, and I blog a bit. Still getting used to this Humphrey character. Can ramble on and possibly be a bit short too. Mood, you see.

Might just fizzle out though. I do that quite a lot too.

To increase our sanity by 2D20 we played the #modiphius #discworld #ttrpg #quickstarter yesterday. It was awesome. https://modiphius.net/products/discworld-quickstart-guide-pdf

Spoiler: As a GM I added a small extension to trigger the strong and dedicated player who played the lazy leader of the watch team: I boosted the consequence involving Sierra to a full featured "athree young investigators group racing to solve the case first". With Sierra being the first NPC of this group… This rocked. Steal the idea and have fun.

Imagine you are designing a disc world theme park, which rides would you have?

What characters? what sections of the park?
Obviously the food hall would serve sausages innabun by CMOT Dibbler, and maybe a jacket potato stall run by Rincewind.
A XXXX bar?
A feegle themed coaster where you ride on a sheep carried by feegles.

Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.

Book 2. Actually finished a few days ago.

Soul Music by Terry Pratchett

I've been rereading Terry Pratchett's Discworld series as my default bedtime reading all through last year. I tend to glaze over the Death novels, but I don't ignore them altogether like I do most of the YA books. This one is about music with rocks in it, and death is having a midlife (of a sorts) crisis at the time, so his granddaughter takes over the job.

I think I would like to go into modelling. Of course, I don't know how to do it, and wouldn't be any good at it if I did, so I'm going to employ someone to walk the catwalks on my behalf. It would still be *me*, of course...

“‘And that's when I first learned about evil. It is built in to the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior.'”

I save about twenty drafts -- that's ten meg of disc space -- and the last one contains all the final alterations. Once it has been printed out and received by the publishers, there's a cry here of 'Tough shit, literary researchers of the future, try getting a proper job!' and the rest are wiped.
