This one is a bronze (or iron) age keep. Likely suitable for #runequest ? At least? Could work in #callofcthulhu #invictus ? Or any other setting that has some kind of ”vikingesque” (or celtic) tribes.

I've done nothing but bitch about not having breakfast this morning, as we're off out for brunch. My wife made this limoncello pudding from scratch.
Think tiramisu but limoncello soaked sponge layers between lemon curd custard topped with whipped cream and mascarpone. 😋😍

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.
This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

A long time ago I experimented with one-page encounters and adventure hooks for OD&D, mainly White Box Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game.
I never did anything with them, so here they are for you in JPEG format. They're D&D encounters I designed and ran in the 1980s (the ones I remember, anyway).

So, when, exactly, should you call for a dice roll?
"I think that PCs should always succeed and only roll if:"
- time is important
- consequences if they make a mistake
- to determine the magnitude of a success/gain additional benefits
Am I missing any? :-? I think that's all of them.
