    Tanya Huff has a great book which involves a family of "werewolves" who can shapeshift whenever they choose and have many canine traits.  They all tend to wear one-piece sundresses and shorts with elastic waistbands and such, stuff that's easy to skin out of and back into, and there's a general clutter of clothing lying around the house ready for when unexpected visitors show up.  More than once the protagonist detective finds herself stuffing into her purse an article of clothing someone threw off moments before in order to change and go run as their dog/wolf form.

    Of course, there are a fair number of people in the nearby town who have guessed their deep dark secret -- that they're a family of nudists....

    In Stranger in a Strange Land a certain household had a sign on the inside of the front door: "Did you remember to dress?"

    As opposed to Lady Sally Callahan's place, where the sign at the entrance reads "PLEASE COME AGAIN"  ;-)

     

    Personally, I'm with Grace, but I don't want to make anyone else feel uncomfortable, either.  So, I generally wear more clothes than I would if it weren't for the social mores.

    But again, the pinups are something he is/feels obligated to make because of Patreon commitments.  The sketchbooks used to be something he could use to express his own creativity without disrupting the storyline in progress.  He used to seem to enjoy making them, when they were all his own ideas and not an obligation to anyone.  I just wonder, is he not doing them any more because he got burned out on them from all the pressure?  Is he doing his own thing, and just not sharing them with us?  Or has he really changed so much that he doesn't have any desire to do sketches any more?

    If you can actually find any, replace the straight acetaminophen with Percogesic. It has an extra ingredient that helps the pain-killers be a little more effective.

    The extra ingredient is an antihistamine, so I can see it helping with infection or allergy-related pain, but somehow I doubt that it would help with cramps.  Thank you for the thought, though!

    It certainly doesn't help that we'd gotten used to updates five days a week, and got dropped back to three.  Storylines naturally take a lot longer that way.  The occasional sketchbook entry used to help there, but we haven't seen more than a handful of non-pinup sketches in far too many months.  I used to get the impression that sketches were something easy and fun for Dan to do, that helped him recharge; I'm afraid *having* to do them for Patreon may have ruined that for him.

    Cramps here too, but of a different kind.  Took a nap (bad sleep habits the past week) and woke up about 9pm with a bit of an ache, decided not to take Ibuprofen because I'm overdue to donate blood, and went to the grocery store.  Big mistake to not take the meds.  By the time I got home I was making liberal use of the Mythbuster-proven pain control of swearing.  Took Ibuprofen, used heating pad and exercises (guys may not know this, but certain exercises do help), and did a lot more grumbling and quiet swearing until it finally eased.

    On the plus side, now that the Ibu has kicked in fully, I'm feeling fine!  I have very occasionally needed to add acetaminophen to the ibuprofen to do the job, a combo recommended the by my doc the one time years ago I put my back out so I know it's safe.  Thank goodness we live in an era of cheap and readily accessible pain meds!

    If we don't get enough people who actually want to play, I'm cool with this turning into a thread for discussing the game instead.  It's cool to find someone else who enjoys it!  :-)

     

    I'm a troublemaker, so I'm rather fond of playing Cupid.  You get to assign two people to be The Lovers, who secretly work together and if one dies the other will too.  This is great if you know the people playing, or if you're playing in a group that includes teenagers who have been teasing one about their secret interest in another while she was out of the room....

    The Lovers can be assigned randomly as cards, but it's more fun if they they're assigned by a Cupid because they still have other roles.  Since you have no way of knowing anyone's roles when you make the assignment, you can wind up choosing one werewolf and one vanillager, or even a werewolf and the Seer.  If that happens, then the Lovers win if they're the last two players left in the game.  Naturally, if they're both on the same side, they win if that side wins.

    But cold temperature doesn't really cause colds (unless you let it get dry too), it's congregating in large groups in enclosed spaces.  So you should all leave this thread immediately!  Save yourselves!

    Dan's Super Mario Maker level being played on Game Grumps. Just cause.

    Slumber in Seattle, coming this summer. Rated PG.

    What's the name of the level?  Searching YouTube and Google for both "Game Grumps" and "Dan Shive" yielded no joy, only a link to a list of levels over 80 long, giving titles only, no creators.  I'm not ambitious enough or bored enough to click them all....
