Salem Hyde is a black & white fantasy comic series written and illustrated by Frank Cammuso — which he’s published in 5 collections since 2013. Here’s the description of the first volume, The Misadventures of Salem Hyde, Book One: Spelling Trouble: “Salem Hyde just isn’t like other kids. For one thing, she’s stubborn, independent, and impulsive. For another, she’s a witch. Salem acts first and thinks later—which means most of her thinking involves coming up with excuses! Good thing she’s been assigned an animal companion, Lord Percival J. Whamsford III. This over-anxious cat doesn’t like Salem calling him ‘Whammy,’ and Salem doesn’t like listening to his long-winded explanations as to why she shouldn’t do something . . . like enter the class spelling bee.” Of course he’ll try to explain to her they mean something different by “spelling”. Good luck! Check out the first book (available in hardcover and paperback) over at Barnes & Noble, then follow the links to find the rest. They’re published by Amulet Books.

A lot of people seem to have an idea that could really turn out to be dangerous. I've noticed, a lot, that when people are suffering emotional problems, whether they're minor, or large, they'll ask for little pick-me-ups from the subreddit. What these turn into usually is a lot of unnamed text responses, complimenting the person. Now, there is a whole argument I could make that this could potentially be habit forming responses to stress, but I'll ignore that for now. What I will say though is, if you are currently suffering from real, diagnosed mental illness, please Under no circumstances turn to the fandom for pick-me-ups. You have to seek real medical help, because only a trained, professional social worker can help treat mental illness. These people go through school to learn how to help those in need. More to the point, the compliments you get from the subreddit may help you feel slightly better, but in truth, they only act as a momentary distraction, whereas talking with either a social worker or seeking medicinal treatment can help you personally overcome what you're battling with.

So just, keep that in mind that we on /r/furry are not trained medical professionals, and we can only help you so much.

Edit: Just thought this should also be added, thank you to /u/TheEmpiresBeer

"if you think you might be suffering from a mental illness that is not yet diagnosed, seek real professional help" as well. I can't stress this enough.

I don't really know where else to post this, so yeah. I guess I just need some people to talk to that's it. Honestly I feel like crying and I'm not even really sure why. I'd go into more details, but I'm not even sure this is the place for this sort of thing. Just really need a hug or something.

I submitted this OP quite a while back, and I finally finished painting everyone who posted to it.

I am just really proud I got it done even if it took way too long!

For non-Canadians: today is election day. The Liberals are leading the latest polls and are in a position to topple the Conservative party tonight, who has been in power for a decade.

Dis gun be good

I got my Sailor Jerry's ready for both celebration and depression.

So, I have been wanting to get into DMing for a while now, and I have a world that I have build that I was planning on basing a book in, which I may still do at some point. But it occurred to that the world of Terashe (Tear - Raw - Shay) would be a great setting for a D&D Campaign.

And when I say homebrew, I mean seriously homebrew. Created world, new species interactions, no elves or anything like that. You create your own spells, abilities, passives, I would help you out with this, help you balance it and tier it to your level and the world. Don't want anything to get too OP. And as with any Homebrew Campaign, alot will just have to be played out and tested via playtesting. That said, if you do join, be patient with me and understanding if I scale something back or scale it up. I will try to be subtle about this. c:

Main point of this is to just see if anyone would be interested in playing with a first time DM. The game will be built on the foundation of D&D V5, which seems to be really accessible to newcomers, DMs and Players alike. I am hoping to get at least 4 people interested in doing this, but no more than 6, as I am a first timer.

Today's question has a minor caveat:

What is your 'sonas weapon of choice?

For the sake of the thread I'm going to define "weapon" as "Anything that can diffuse a potentially violent situation or give the user an edge in combative scenarios". That means things like shields, armor, claws or even things like hypnotic powers count for this question.
