We’re getting ready for another winter storm here. Such things always make for memorable morning commutes. Joy. Well, before I hit the sack I thought I would post the working draft for the Bear-Warrior, a Warrior subclass for the Long Night Campaign. My last post looked at the Hægtesse. Now it’s super-duper-bear-power time! I think my toddler’s stuffed teddy bear is subconsciously influencing my tired mind.

This site has been gathering dust for a few months now. Being a hospital chaplain during an on-going pandemic makes for little time or energy. Oh, and since it has been on my heart and mind lately, if you have not gotten vaccinated AND you do not have a legitimate medical exemption or a truly sincere religious belief to exempt you (truly sincere, not some BS you pulled from the internet to get around the issue) then let me say this: #@*%$#!! #####EDITED OUT RAGE TO KEEP FROM GETTING FIRED#####
I know it’s your decision. No doubt. My decision is to take a moment and express my rage. My decision has been to spend the last two years with patients dying from COVID, along with their families. It’s tragic, and I’m tired of seeing the same situation over and over again. It’s like some twisted Groundhog day scenario.
Sigh. Moving on. I’ve been a little burned out if I’m being honest. Hell, the only reason I’m even making a post now is that I’m home sick with sick kids that bestowed the gift of projectile vomit on me last night…the chucky kind. That’s love. Anyway, I’m home today and everyone is finally sleeping peacefully (for now). What follows is a draft for one of the non-human options in my Long Night campaign set in 6th-century “England.” I now present the Hægtesse.
I’ve always been an outdoor person, and I spent a lot of time playing in the woods or splashing around in a creek not far from my childhood home when I was young. This love of nature has continued throughout my life. Knowledge of edible and medicinal plants, however, was something I only got into later in life. Although I consumed all kinds of easily identifiable plant life and fruit when I was a child (wild onions, cattails, honeysuckle, kumquats, etc.), I never really dedicated any kind of serious attention or study to the subject. I think this first began to change when I lived in Japan.
