America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

My son really wanted to play D&D, so I told him, of course, I’d play with him. I hadn’t played since I was his age (10), but I remembered more than I expected. He was DM and we had a blast.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
