Been working all day for #easter for my daughter. We're not religious. I don't know when this started, but for many years now my kid is visited every year by the Easter Badger. Important things about the Easter Badger:

  • Is totally real, unlike Santa, Easter Bunny, etc., who are fake and also stupid and EB finds them socially annoying

  • Spells very badly, including their own name

  • Steals all of daughter's candy and hides it in a complicated series of lockboxes and hiding places, with (badly-spelled) clues to the combinations and next stash of candy

  • Finds time to trash talk the Easter Bunny, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, et al. while writing clues in very bad penmanship

  • Does all of this out of love for my daughter

  • Also out of spite, vindictiveness, and to spread anti-Santa/Easter Bunny propaganda (a.k.a. "consciousness raising" or "accurate information")

Edit: This year the EB has gone digital (their HTML skills are almost as minimal as mine):

easterbadger.com

Most of the clues are on ultra-basic websites like this, which helps EB b/c I--I mean they--can adjust a clue while the hunt is on by editing a page:

easterbadger.com/purplepurpl.h

And I think it's set up so it's difficult (hopefully impossible) to see any of these pages without knowing and typing in the URL. My kid can do the latter, but neither of us are coders or webdevs so any advanced hacking is beyond us.

Note: They got very distracted with EB's use of physical padlocks for some puzzles so they've been picking locks for an hour. :) Happy moments.

If you HAVE an entry ticket but have not yet signed up for an ADD-ON ticket for a game or a discussion group — get on that now before they’re all gone. Plenty of spots left for D&D, Community Radio, Kids on Brooms, and Moonlight on Roseville Beach! Just head back to the Eventbrite page and you should be able to purchase the add-on separately (just make sure you do also already have your entry ticket secured). 3. We’re working on finalizing the programming outside of the games and discussion groups, too! Everyone will have access to the painting table for painting RPG minis, we’ll have a small lending library of rules-lite TTRPGs for y’all to borrow during the con, and LAST BUT NOT LEAST, @ladylusan will be setting up shop to offer 20-minute character sketches!! You can book a time slot for that on my Calendly — check out the linktr.ee in my bio. We can’t wait to see y’all there in just a few short weeks! • • • @aeronautbrewing @dangerwizard_dm @worlds4all #indiettrpg #ttrpgcon #gamingcon #somervillema #somercon2025"105 likes, 3 comments - sidequestbooks on February 24, 2025: "📣 SOMERCON UPDATES! 📣 1.

看完了
这个衍生剧系列有很重的first world problem味儿,就很apple
EP02和EP03值得说道说道。02谈到了狂热粉丝社群和线下聚会,稍微点到了粉丝社群里非常典型的提纯和比资历之类的毒性行为;03则是围绕创作阻滞,对于任何有过在同一个项目上倾注大量时间的人都很有共感。
总的来说不太值得看。
