Reached out to an old supervisor to ask if she’d supervise my contact hours for independent mental health practicioner licensure. She asked what insurances I wanted to get certified under. I said, “None, I want to help folks pro bono or sliding scale.” Her response? “Why does that not surprise me?”

CW: Food. One of the World’s Most Okayest DMs also has proficiency in long-range meal preparation. There is enough sauce, veggies and pasta to get me through the next few days of dinner and allows me to focus on getting the rest of my Q4 ttrpg project drafts done.

D&D fans, I’m told Cynda Callaway has passed away. Cynda was the production expert who worked with various printers and manufacturers to get D&D books and boxes on shelves, on time, through the 5E era and beyond. She was a genuine unsung hero and all of us fans owe her a lot. RIP. #dnd

Looks like the only elements of the newest version of Cormyr that survived the new Forgotten Realms books were The War Wizards and The Purple Dragons, but that’s it. There is a queen, but nothing else. Sad😔.
