I wrote about the weird "Establishing the Character" example from the AD&D PHB & the presumption that adventurers are strangers to the campaign play area with families back home:
Strangers in a Strange Land
From the AD&D PHB, page 34: In AD&D, it is presumed that "in all likelihood", the player character is unfamiliar with the campaign setting. ...

3d6 DTL Ep 10 of #Mothership Gradient Descent! Curiosity laced with dread gets the better of the crew, as they make an unwelcome discovery inside the shipping crates stacked on the loading dock. Now the one entity they didn't want to disturb is officially... disturbed.

For this year’s spooky season post, I dig up the background of Skeletons, how they’ve been historically depicted in media (including D&D) and my favorite way to include them in my games

Its Jennell jaquays birthdat. She left this realm last January. Her her adventure design and artwork made a bigger impact on me than any other judges guild writer. I even used the color scheme from Hellpits of Nightfang for inspiration when illustrating Duginthroat Divided. Here's a small tribute.

Went to Lone Star Zine fest this weekend. There was so much there that I got a little overwhelmed.

I intended to find specific creators who align with my specific interests.

Instead, I got out of my comfort zone and engaged with creators of all different stripes.

Here's what I came away with.

I wrote about the prevalence of monster poaching, egg-snatching, and giant beaver slavery in AD&D, why it's even more Evil than it sounds, & why that has kind of fun gameplay implications, plus some musings about how much you might be able to sell a mind flayer brain for.

don’t type anything online you wouldn’t feel comfortable defending to the worst faith interlocutors imaginable, and don’t say shit in front of a classroom you wouldn’t want to hear repeated back at you in court
My dad told me never put anything in writing that you wouldn’t tell the entire world.
As mom always said, never write an email you wouldn’t want on the front page of a newspaper.

It's kind of weird that I'll be seeing Fear this weekend. I first listened to "More Beer" when I was too young to buy the stuff.
"All I want is moooore beeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!!" - 17 year old me. Now I'm going to see them after not touching beer for a few years beyond the occasional non-alcoholic bottle.

🇺🇸 September 2 is not just a date. It is the day America cast aside its servants abroad. My brothers and sisters at USAID you built schools healed wounds defended democracy. Today you are erased but your devotion endures. This nation cannot stand without you.
What We Lose, We Lose Together
To my colleagues at USAID, your absence is a wound to the nation, your service endures, and your voices are needed now to sustain our fragile democracy.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.
Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad
The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.
