The Pitch

I'm a(n?) uni student who's gotten into tabletop roleplaying games in the past 3 or 4 years. I currently run two separate Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, one which has been going since 2011 and the other has just passed the 2-year mark. I read a few roleplaying blogs such as D&D with Porn Stars (which has honestly given me a more positive understanding and view of pornstars, though not so much for the industry) and Last Gasp. The authors are a constant reminder that it doesn't matter an inch what kind of person you are when it comes to roleplaying. In any case, inspirational ideas exist in every nook, cranny and then some.

This blog will mostly be for my ideas and thoughts relating to tabletop RPGs and particularly D&D. Still, that's not to say that there isn't room for more.

I study Mandarin Chinese (I'm not very good at it) and law (even worse at that) from day to day. They fill up the time when I'm not procrastinating and Chinese history and culture has some pretty juicy tidbits which is fun. I mean Chinese seals are pretty hype.

The mind forgets, but the body remembers: spell seals as tattoos

As the 'masala' and (moreso) 'cookbook' parts of the name suggest, I like to dabble in the mad scientist art of cooking. I'm no good at it, but home-cooking has its occasional rewards. I plan to put my occasional food experiments on here, just so I can have them all in the one place. Whilst I'm not from India, the 'masala' is something of a throwback to my Sinhalese roots, which is fuzzy along with other happy giblets. More than anything else, my home has a healthy stock of Sinhalese cookbooks. Maybe I'll gain my mother's acceptance in the kitchen yet. Doubtful, though.
