I decided I needed to roll my own feeds, and so I used ED to programatically edit my source files into recfiles, used an m4 include in one instance, and then used recfmt templates to create the rss items. That is right. Ed, m4, and recutils. http://tilde.town/~dozens/clericthief/journal.html 2022-09-02 Blow Me Down Fri Sep 2 00:00:00 MDT 2022 It is definitely *not* true that I based the looks of Iofi and Maddox on Shelley Duvall and Robin Williams from the 1980 American musical comedy smash hit *Popeye*. http://tilde.town/~dozens/clericthief/journal.html 2022-09-01 episodes rss feed Thu Sep 1 00:00:00 MDT 2022 Made an update that will hopefully fix the links in the Episodes feed. If not, I might need to start handrolling a feed instead of relying on [blog.miso.town](https://blog.miso.town). In fact, I just noticed that the journal feed is kind of borked too. Yeah I may just need to create my own feeds.. http://tilde.town/~dozens/clericthief/journal.html 2022-09-01 00002. Meadowgloom Thu Sep 1 00:00:00 MDT 2022 Hey gamers it's ya boy dozens! This update focuses briefly on Meadowgloom. Which is a name I snatched up from a fantasy name generator. It also generated the astounding name "Eccentric Kevin". Who is a character I have every intention of introducing at some point as a perfectly normal, sane, and reasonable straight man. http://tilde.town/~dozens/clericthief/journal.html 2022-08-30 00001. Cleric + Thief Tue Aug 30 00:00:00 MDT 2022 Hey I started a new thing! This is the narrative version of a solo roleplaying game. It is based on the mechanics and the *callings* of [Brighter Worlds by awkwardturtle][brighter]. It is a lovely game and I wanted to play it. I came up with the setting and the starting scenario using [GRAPES and WTAF?! tarot spreads as described by Sean F. Smith][grapes]. And then I used the [One Page Solo Engine][opse] to answer questions during play.

Yikes! Combat is lethal.
