Oh, derp. If I can find chrysanthemum tea, that would work. Let's see if I can find it outside of a restaurant.

Can anyone recommend a caffeine-free herbal tea for the evening that is reasonably priced and DOESN'T have any mint? This Bigelow supposed chamomile lavender I just got clearly has mint. It's all I can smell and taste and I HATE mint. I just want herbal tea that isn't toothpaste or gum flavored.

2/? #DnD #D&D #ttrpg The best page ever. You put in how many players and their level, then you can pick and choose combos of monsters to see if they can theoretically survive the fight. Fantastic for me, who sucks at math, LOL. koboldplus.club

This thread will be links to the cool tools I used to create my first D&D module. Mainly passed on from one of my fellow co-players who has been kind and patient, and very supportive of my learning all this. It's deeply appreciated and I hope he likes the module. 1/?

I've seen a few people posting stuff along the lines of "2026 is the year I'm going to read more!"
My friend, don't pressure yourself. Even as an author, I say this: Read better, not more. Read what you love, stop reading something that isn't working for you. Don't aim for more, aim for pleasure.

I am fascinated at how many USA-based websites make me "prove you're human" when they think I'm in another country. If they even load at all. Cause, you know, it's so important that someone not be able to see what sales are at my grocery store this week.

"Unpacking" is a weird little game on steam. You'd think it sounds stupid, but it's actually highly addictive and very soothing/relaxing. I just lost a couple hours to it, lol, and now I want a nap.

wow, premade graham cracker crusts are utter crap these days. Nearly NO actual graham flavor and very thin. Does nothing but break. Next time, I'll just skip the crust completely. Why have graham crackers also lost so much flavor?

incredible talent.
Bonus Christmas music for you from an absolutely incredible small ensemble.
This is one of the songs I sang so much it’s written in my bones. I found myself moving while listening to this. My ensemble was 27 people, and it was hard to hold your own. This group? Amazing.
