Hello and welcome! Please add a peach pie to that list although a nice cobbler works, too! ---

Welcome, @Hal1776! I hope you enjoy your time here. Someone will shortly be along to introduce you to the squid and the goat. Oh, and blackberry, please! ---

Welcome! I note you’re a gamer. Whichbso far has gone unremarked. I am not one, but we have many. So if you wanna geek out about “Halo, call of duty, Zelda and Mario”, we gotya covered there too. ---

Enough with the fruit pies! Coconut cream, please. Did anyone mention the hamsters? Their little legs get tired after a while and people sign up for massage duty. During off-peak times, of course. They’re really cute. ---

I want to point out that anyone with an avatar of [Daria Morgendorffer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daria_Morgendorffer) is likely to be the sort of sardonic, sarcastic wit that fits riiiiiiiight in here. Best of luck! ---

We did, but the squid… somehow… came back. It’s larger now and sorta anthropomorphic, and just seeing it makes you lose 6d6 sanity points… ---

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > Someone will shortly be along to introduce you to the squid and the goat. I’m rather distressed that I did not get introduced to the squid and the goat, nor is there any mention of this in the official handbook. Regardless… Welcome Hal1776! T’was a good year. This is an amazing, wonderful place. Hope you enjoy! ---

@Disinfectus and @thorny_locust , count yourselves lucky. Unfortunately, Mariah\* ate the gorilla during the Great Covid Goat Shortage, so shaving him with a seashell and lime Jell-O is no longer part of the ritual. _Sic transit gloria mundi_. \* They calllll the squiiiiid Mariah. ---

I like Zelda and Mario too. I don’t have any of the newer Nintendo systems, though. My favorites are Mario 3 and Zelda: Twilight Princess.
