Jupiter's Blessings

A Journey Through the Houses

The mighty Jupiter, king of the planets, showers its benevolent influence upon each area of life depending on its position in your birth chart. Let's embark on a cosmic expedition, exploring the unique gifts Jupiter bestows in each of the twelve houses:

1st House: The Charismatic One: Your presence radiates confidence, attracting opportunities like moths to a flame. Your ever-evolving style reflects your inner spark, and your optimistic outlook paints life in vibrant hues. Physical well-being and financial fortune seem to follow you effortlessly.

2nd House: The Affluent One: Financial security and a love for life's finer things dance hand-in-hand. Your sharp wit and insightful conversations win hearts and minds, while early financial success empowers you to build a secure future.

3rd House: The Connected One: Warmth and understanding define your relationships with family and friends. Communication flows effortlessly, and your sharp intellect paves the way for academic achievement and success in travel endeavors.

4th House: The Rooted One: Familial harmony and a sense of belonging are yours to cherish. A peaceful home environment, possibly in a dream location, nourishes your soul. Your connection with your mother is a source of strength and solace.

5th House: The Expressive One: Your talents shine brightly, propelling you onto the stage of life. You excel in sports and possess a diverse skillset. Romantic encounters are filled with joy and shared passions, while your adventurous spirit thrives on taking risks.

6th House: The Harmonious One: Health and well-being are your birthright. Your work routine is a source of enjoyment and discovery, leading to financial abundance and promising opportunities through supportive colleagues.

7th House: The Sociable One: Serendipity guides your relationships, leading you to soulmates and fulfilling partnerships. Your magnetic personality attracts admirers and opportunities for social recognition, while legal endeavors find favor under Jupiter's gaze.

8th House: The Resilient One: Inheritance and investments are blessed with fortunate outcomes, shielding you from financial hardship. Deep connections flourish, bringing happiness, and your emotional resilience ensures swift recovery from setbacks.

9th House: The Wanderer One: The world is your oyster! Frequent travel, exposure to diverse cultures, and encounters with inspiring individuals broaden your horizons. Your insatiable curiosity and enthusiasm for life's adventures make every journey a treasure.

10th House: The Achiever One: Career success comes easily, often fueled by the support of family or ancestors. Leadership roles and recognition become synonymous with your professional journey, and your wanderlust fuels your exploration of diverse cultures.

11th House: The Networked One: Dreams manifest effortlessly, surrounded by loyal and intelligent friends. Your social circle is a tapestry of diverse backgrounds and languages, and influential connections propel you forward.

12th House: The Intuitive One: Even adversity holds unexpected blessings, deepening your spiritual connection and highlighting your moral compass. A contemplative nature and a keen awareness of life's subtleties guide your intuitive decisions. You travel to destinations chosen by your soul, seeking profound connections.

Remember, this is just a glimpse into Jupiter's influence. Delving deeper into your individual birth chart will reveal the unique ways this benevolent giant shapes your life's journey.

Hi - we're on Tumblr now!

I'm sorry, who are you?

We're @sashasienna​ and @jonnywaistcoat​, and we make tabletop RPGs as MacGuffin & Co.!

Tabletop what-nows?

Immersive storytelling games where you and your friends can dive into weird worlds, play fascinating characters and have harrowing adventures!

What, like Dungeons & Dragons?

*sigh* Yeah. Like Dungeons & Dragons

Ok, so what have you made?

Well, we've got a collection of system neutral micro-settings called Odd Jobs - it's eleven small and fascinating worlds to play games in, each with a campaign you can play through in a month. They're not designed for any particular system, so you can play them with whatever game you like!

Oh, and it won the 2022 UK Games Expo award for Best Adventure and was nominated for Ennie Product of the Year. Just sayin'.

We've just released a tarot-themed magical river game called Upriver, Downriver with our dear friend Ella Watts, in which you play the crew of a ship sailing the Great River, either travelling upriver to the mythical Source with it's magic and revelation; or downriver towards the unending Sea with it's freedom and horizon.

We have KER-SPLAT! - a high-chaos, full nonsense cartoon RPG we wrote with Ross Barlow, where the players can't die and the GM can't stop them in a hilarious cascade of silly jokes. Also, not to brag, but this is the funniest RPG rulebook you'll ever read.

We also have smaller games, such as Zero Void - a no-prep one-shot zine game, where you play a bunch of desperate space criminals trying to escape a space station before the law arrives.

Is there any way to keep up with what you do?

Well, following our Tumblr is a great start. We also have a monthly mailing list you can sign up to from our website that will keep you updated on what we do.

We also have a Patreon.

What was that? You're mumbling!

Yeah, like all creators trying to eke out a living, we have a Patreon. If you sign up you get behind -the-scenes updates, small or prototype games, RPG resources, new micro-settings and our monthly TTRPG Gamesmasterclass, where we use our 35(!) combined years of GMing experience to help you run the best games ever.

But what if I want to see your faces?

Then I have great news! We stream boardgames and RPGs every Sunday at twitch.tv/macguffinandco! Jonny also streams videogames every Friday at twitch.tv/jonnywaistcoat, and Sasha steams their Jane Austen Bookclub every Monday at twitch.tv/sashasienna

Sounds cool - where can I find out more?

macguffinandcompany.com, baby!

Wait, so why are you on Tumblr?

Because social media is a nightmare hellscape and it's weirdly the chillest one left. We are on other social sites as well - you can follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook - but this is our favourite.

some kitchen & cooking tips that helped me a lot lately!

I've always had the hardest heckin time with cooking and kitchen management. From deciding what to have as a meal to grocery shopping to actually cooking, every step of it was a source of stress, guilt and many other bad feelings. I was confused and disheartened and I felt so alone because I seemed to have the hardest time with something other people did so easily and casually.

After I came to terms with my neurospicyness, my wife introduced me to a facebook group called Executive Dysfunction Meals and it quite literally changed my life. Learning that I was not alone in this very specific struggles was so darn validating, and from there on I started learning and coming up with strategies to make my life in the kitchen bearable, and even fun (shocking, I know!).

I'm very passionate about paying forward and spreading help and information, so I'm gonna start typing down the strategies and tips that have helped me the most so far. I hope it may be of help to someone out there!

(Please note I am not a professional and I'm not claiming to know the best way to do anything, these are all just my personal experience.~)

Optimize your space (specifically for you): You know how fridges usually have a big drawer type of space specially for veggies? I used to put my veggies and greens there, but then my brain would magically Out-Of-Sight-Out-Of-Mind them away. Countless times I'd open the drawer up, weeks later, just to find rotten veggies and liquified greens. Then punish myself with guilt and anger... Until at some point we decided that enough was enough, that simply wasn't working out to our advantage, and we changed things up entirely: We started putting things that don't go bad in the big drawer, such as beverage cans, unopened juice boxes, pickled greens etc, and the veggies now go on the area just above, out in the open, so I can see them everytime I open up the fridge. I also have a little magnet whiteboard on the fridge's door, and whenever we do groceries I make a list of the stuff we have to consume quickly before it goes bad - visual cues help me quite a bit. I'm happy to say it's been quite a while since we've let greens go to waste!!!

Optimize your space (specifically for you) II: In the same logic as the item above, you can (and should) adapt your space to you, and not the other way around. I have a little stepladder that I use as a stool whenever I'm cooking or washing dishes, because it's hard for me to stand up for too long. Whenever I start using a utensil more often and it was initially stored behind doors or someplace hard to reach, I change things up to bring it closer and have it easily accessible. If I don't use something for more than a year, I put it away a little further away to free up space for something I use often. I'm always optimizing my space and keeping the things I use the most very easily accessible; it's not an easy process to change things up like this, but I promise the positive effects of this strategy are long lasting in my daily routine!

Learn the best way to freeze and use leftovers, vegetables and fruit, and adapt them to your routine: I freeze chopped bananas and avocados that would go bad otherwise, because I like turning them into smoothies. Leftover rice is saved to make fried rice which we love! Learning the best way to freeze broccoli was a game changer and it gave me a week of really nice quick meals! Google is your friend and there's so much handy info out there, being curious and adventurous really pays back in the kitchen.

Batch make and freeze sandwiches for a quick snack: I picked this tip up from the Exec Dysfunction Meals group! I've been doing it for a few weeks and it really helps. Whenever I feel like I have the extra spell slots, I make a couple more sandwiches than I would normally, put them in little freezer baggies and freeze them. Whenever my wife and I want a quick bite and don't feel like making anything, grabbing a sammich and popping it on our sandwich toaster is so easy and it makes a warm and crunchy meal. I've done it with ham, cheese and oregano, I have friends who do this with plain toast too.

Batch make garlic paste and chopped onions to freeze, for quick cooking starters: Yes I'm aware a lot of people speak against this, but hear me out. As a brazilian, a lot of my cooking starts with crushed garlic and chopped onions. Whenever possible, I do prefer these ingredients to be prepared and used as fresh as I can, but whenever the executive dysfunction or the joint pains hit, having these starters ready to go help a lot. For the garlic, I either crush or process a head of garlic or a handful of cloves finely with salt, then use silicon ice trays to freeze it into little cubes. For the onions, I chop them finely on the food processor, get rid of the excess water, put them into a freezer bag and use the dull side of a knife - or a spoon - to shape them into flat little squares (the flatter it is, the easier it will be to defrost and sauteé them). When it comes the time to get some rice or some stir fry started, I grab one little cube of garlic and one little square of onion and sauteé them; it's quick, easy, and effortless.

Process anything you can: This one is kind of specific, but for some reason I was raised to think that everything is better if it has a lot of effort involved, specially in the kitchen. That's the reason why I've hesitated so much to really put our food processor to use, and kept insisting to do a lot of things the "traditional" way. In the last few years I finally stopped pushing myself and now I use it to grate, slice, chop and blend everything I can. Being adventurous and figuring out in which ways can I put the processor to use instead of doing things by hand is a fun puzzle, too. Besides, a masterfully crafted meal with things finely chopped by my own hands won't help me at all if it never becomes a reality due to how tired or sore I feel to cook.

[I might either come back and add more to this post in the future, or reblog it to add more tips!]

🎬🎬 Did you know?

Secondhand Lions (2003) is a hidden gem of a film — a touching, funny, and adventurous story about growing up, growing old, and the legends we leave behind 🌻🎬📖

🎥 The film stars three acting legends:

Haley Joel Osment 👦 (The Sixth Sense) as Walter

Michael Caine 🇬🇧 as the wise and proper Uncle Garth

Robert Duvall 🇺🇸 as the wild and fearless Uncle Hub

📌 The story follows young Walter, who is sent to live with his two eccentric uncles in rural Texas 🌾🐓. Everyone says the old men have a hidden fortune — and possibly a secret past involving treasure, gangsters, and lions 🦁💰

As Walter learns from their wild tales — which might just be true — he discovers the meaning of bravery, family, and living life to the fullest 💪❤️

🎞️ One of the film’s most magical elements is the real lion — yes, a live lion named Jasmine was used for filming! 🦁🎪

💬 One of the most famous lines from the movie is:

“Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most.” 💭🧓

Fun Fact: Robert Duvall was in his 70s when he filmed the sword-fighting and action scenes — and did many of his own stunts! ⚔️🔥

Secondhand Lions is a beautiful blend of humor, adventure, and heart — a story for anyone who ever dreamed of something bigger 🌅📚

A charming tiefling bard I drew on commission!

Also, Cute Creatures Compendium 2, my latest 5E book, is coming to Kickstarter! Check it out! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/catilus/cute-creatures-compendium-2-by-catilus

Character: Lerissa Longhorn, Tiefling Bard

Lerissa is an aspiring adventurer who went on a mission of exploration to a newly discovered continent. She has a big mouth and a bigger gun to back it up, thanks to her rough upbringing in one of the largest cities on the mainland, Bostonia.

Now, away from the exhausting city life, Lerissa thrives in the adventure and companionship of her party. As a bard, she is the main source of entertainment for her party. Her ability to run her mouth won’t start a civil war or anything, right? (Spoilers: it did!)

Ian ‘H’ Watkins from the 90s pop group Steps has released his first children’s book, Pride and the Rainbow Warriors.

  A post shared by Ian H Watkins (@ianhwatkins)

I’ve spent years wishing books like this existed.

“We’re so proud to share that @ianhwatkins has written his very first children’s book,” the Steps Instagram posted.

“This beautiful story celebrates love, kindness and the power of being proud to be YOU!”

“Told through a magical adventure inspired by the meaning behind every colour of the Pride flag.

“A perfect read for families, allies and rainbow warriors of all ages.”

H/Ian came out at the beginning of 2007 when he went on Celebrity Big Brother.

Ten years after the band made its debut.

He lives in a village near Cowbridge, in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales and organised the town’s first Pride in 2023.

“The world has changed since I was growing up,” he said.

“I want my children to grow up celebrating diversity and representation.”

“It’s important that Cowbridge reflects that.”

You can tell H/Ian is very passionate about shining a pride-filled light where it’s needed from Pride and the Rainbow Warriors.

Its characters represent diversity and intersectionalities of all kinds.

“As a gay man and a parent, I’ve spent years wishing books like this existed when I was growing up,” he said on Instagram.

“Pride and the Rainbow Warriors is about showing young people, and their grown-ups, that being different is something to celebrate.”

“I wanted to write a book that uplifts, educates and empowers.

“While also being full of joy and colour.

“It’s for every child who didn’t feel like they didn’t quite fit in.

And to every adult working to make the world better for them”

Pride & The Rainbow Warriors is out on June 17 and is available to preorder at www.atebol.com

Where to Find Valid MindWare Discounts and Deals

Finding active and legitimate promo codes requires a little bit of searching, but the savings are well worth the effort. Here are the most reliable places to look:

The Official MindWare Website: Always check MindWare's homepage and dedicated promotions or sale sections. They often feature current deals directly.

MindWare Email Newsletter: Subscribing to their email list is one of the best ways to get exclusive offers, early access to sales, and sometimes even a special welcome MindWare discount code just for signing up.

Reliable Coupon Websites: Dedicated coupon aggregator sites are excellent resources. They gather codes from various sources, test them, and list them for easy access. Searching for MindWare coupons on reputable platforms can yield significant results. Be sure to check the expiration dates and terms associated with each code.

How to Apply Your MindWare Offer Code: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide

Found a promising code? Great! Using it is usually very simple:

Shop: Browse the MindWare website and add your desired brainy toys to your shopping cart.

View Cart/Checkout: Once you're ready, proceed to your shopping cart or the checkout page.

Locate the Promo Code Box: Look for a field labeled "Promo Code," "Discount Code," "Offer Code," or something similar. This is often found on the cart summary page or one of the initial checkout steps.

Enter the Code: Carefully type or paste your valid MindWare discount into the box. Ensure there are no extra spaces before or after the code.

Verify Discount: Check that the discount has been successfully applied to your order total before proceeding with payment. The savings should be reflected in the summary.

If the code doesn't work, double-check the spelling, expiration date, and any specific terms (like a minimum purchase amount or applicability to certain items).

Maximize Your Savings: Tips for Shopping Smart at MindWare

Beyond just finding a single code, you can employ a few strategies to ensure you're always getting the best deal:

Shop During Major Sales Events: Keep an eye out during holidays like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or back-to-school seasons when retailers often offer deeper discounts.

Check Clearance Sections: Browse the 'Sale' or 'Clearance' sections on the MindWare website for potentially discounted items, even without a specific promo code.

Combine Offers (If Possible): Occasionally, MindWare might allow stacking a percentage-off code with a free shipping offer. Always read the terms, but it's worth trying!

Use Browser Extensions: Some browser extensions automatically search for and apply coupons like a MindWare offer code while you shop.

Be Patient: If you're not in a rush, wait for a good promotion or latest MindWare coupons to become available, especially if you've signed up for newsletters or are monitoring coupon sites.

More Than Just Savings: The Lasting Value of MindWare

While finding a great MindWare promo code is exciting, remember the inherent value these toys bring. They encourage screen-free time, promote family interaction through games, build confidence as children master new skills, and lay a foundation for a lifelong love of learning. Investing in MindWare is investing in a child's cognitive development and curiosity.

So, next time you're looking for a gift that truly gives back, explore the wonderful world of MindWare. And before you check out, take those few extra minutes to search for a valid discount code – your wallet (and the happy recipient) will thank you!

This morning Coastal Carolina became a wintry wonderland when a large layer of snow fell over its seashore areas accompanied by palm trees in the landscape. The region transitioned from its typical warm beach climate to a sudden snowfall that dropped between 6 to 9 inches of snow.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Weather Event

Snow rarely appears in Coastal Carolina and residents have not experienced it for years. The most recent significant snowfall in this area occurred long ago so residents and tourists remember last night's event vividly. People used to warm winters were shocked when snow started to build up steadily through the night like a typical ski resort.

According to the National Weather Service Coastal Carolina experienced its biggest snowstorm in decades. Meteorologists explain snowfall results from atmospheric conditions where a cold front meets moist Atlantic air.

Beaches Turned Winter Playgrounds

Coastal Carolina's famous beaches have undergone a dramatic transformation into scenes covered in snow. Coastal Carolina beaches have buried their sand under snow and now families build snowmen while kids sled down sandy hills.

A local resident shared " I've lived here my entire life yet never expected to see snow on our beach. It’s absolutely magical."

People who shoot pictures and use social media have rushed to show the strange snow-covered beach scenes. Photos on Facebook and Instagram show a new never-before-seen view of Coastal Carolina as snow covers palm trees and makes walkways icy.

A Community That Embraced the Cold

The community has taken this snowfall opportunity to enjoy it through various activities and celebrations despite the problems it caused. People gathered at parks for snowball battles while making snow angels on their lawns and businesses joined in too. The beachfront café changed its iced coffee items for hot cocoa plus marshmallows and the local brewery made a unique winter beer for this occasion.

A Myrtle Beach shopkeeper said their team chose to view this snowfall as a special occasion. After facing tough times last year everyone should join in the festivities.

Navigating the Challenges

Snow arrived abruptly causing multiple problems across the region. The coastal region of South Carolina does not handle snow well which causes icy roads and requires temporary closures of public facilities. Local officials ask residents to stay home whenever possible while their teams work hard to clear roadways.

Wildlife’s Winter Adventure

Snowfall both fascinates people who live here and makes wildlife act in unexpected ways. The snowy environment confused both seagulls and pelicans when they walked through it while deer and raccoons carefully checked out their frozen forest surroundings. Bird feeders saved many birds from starvation during snowstorms because the snow covered all natural food sources.

Looking Ahead

The snow will disappear in a few days when normal season temperatures return but people will keep the unbelievable experience in their memories. People are thankful for the opportunity to see this rare event though it lasted only briefly.

"It shows us nature can be both stunning and unexpected" the resident explained. Since this weather abnormality may not repeat in our lives we want to enjoy it fully.

The Power of Community and Nature

Snow in Coastal Carolina revealed the amazing power of nature to create happy surprises. Such unexpected weather makes people come together as neighbors. The snow event brought people together by helping neighbors move safely through dangerous streets while children enjoyed their first snow experience.

Residents will forever remember the weekend Coastal Carolina transformed from sandy beaches to snowy landscapes as they return to normal weather.

A resourceful dhampir rogue I drew on commission! More fantasy art, NPCs, awesome homebrew, and other cool stuff: https://www.patreon.com/Catilus

Character: Essen, Dhampir Rogue

Originally born a half--elf and abandoned at birth, Essen found himself in the loving hands of the three Almer sisters who raised him along with their various other adoptive children as their very own. Essen grew up poor but loved by the sisters and his siblings, all of them doing whatever they had to do to make ends meet within the port city of Talistone.

His life was relatively tame up until he became sixteen years of age, and hired thugs began to pressure his adoptive parents to pay back supposed debts, leaving behind threats and breaking furniture in the process. Under these threats, the oldest members of the house decided to try to fix things… by stealing, of course.

Essen and his two older brothers ran off into the streets, doing what they needed to do to keep their family safe. After a short while, Essen had successfully broken into a noble’s house and taken a great number, thinking that the lady of the house was apparently asleep. But his actions drew the attention of with Lady Nightingale, the lady he had stolen from and secretly a vampire.

Lady Nightingale took one look at the young half-elf and decided he looked delicious. She promptly whisked him away to become her servant and food source.

After six months of servitude, Essen’s body began to… adapt to the vampiric magic and repetitive feeding, his body assuming some of the characteristics of his captor. He was no longer a half-elf, but a dhampir.

With his newfound gifts and a desperate mind set, he escaped the lady's manor and visited his family one last time to tell them that he was going far away from Talistone. His family gave him one last gift, the silk blue scarf around his neck.

It’s been four years since his escape, and the now dhampir rogue is still adjusting to his newfound powers and hunger as he travels alongside some new friends: Gale the human warlock, Kilani the human fighter and Tony the half-orc paladin.

For now, Essen keeps his dhampir nature a secret from his friends, uncertain how they’d react. Yet, he hopes to one day become strong enough to get revenge on Lady Nightingale and perhaps even find a way to regain his half-elven nature one more.
