Just ran my first big boss battle using the D&D 2024 rules, & I’m a big fan of the streamlined stat blocks especially for spell casters. It was a fulfilling 2 hours that allowed me to also build narrative tension while not having to carry the mental load of too many options.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

6YO last night told me, "I'm not feeling well, so I should go to bed early." Proud of him for prioritizing self-care over fun (he *loves* bedtime reading). 🥹

I’ve been a writer at heart since early childhood and these words really resonate with me and remind me that what I do matters — even now as I’ve received my first accusation of AI writing because that’s the world we’re living in at the moment. 😭
