We're editing our next episode, in which we talk about solo role-playing games.

Which, of course, means more fun with machine-generated transcripts. #Editing #Podcasts

Figuring out NPCs for my #DnD campaign. To save on prep time, I'm trying to leverage the generic NPC blocks from the Monster Manual, and then tweaking (rather than building out the NPC characters with D&D Beyond, which is what I normally do).

"But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny."

I'm not saying that everything I ever needed to know about romance, I learned from #EmpireStrikesBack, but ... it left an impression.

It used to be that the kids would get tech hand-me-downs. I'd by a Nintendo 3DS, and they'd bet my old Nintendo DS.

Same deal with phones. I'd get a new iPhone, they'd get my old one.

Now though, Neutronlad just got a #Switch2 ... and I inherited his old #SwitchOLED

The circle is complete.

Re-watching #EmpireStrikesBack for umpteenth time (my wife wanted to watch it, and I'm not going to say no).

It's the Battle of Hoth scene, and I find myself wanting to re-playing Rogue Squadron, one of the best games for the #N64

Quote of the game today as the party flees a gelatinous cube.

"Everyone just light their own $^!@!& torch and run." - Torbin (Seer)

(the party typically only has one light source going at a time, which was impeding their ability to run away)

Watching #Pluribus

I can't help but get GenAI vibes from Carol's "friends", who are super eager to help in all things (want a hand grenade? Sure, have a hand grenade!).

That moment when you realize that ... damn, you've created a ton of NPCs. #DnD #Greyhawk #Greyhawk76 #TTRPG

Work in progress: Swamp's Fork.

Located at one of the forks in the Swamp River (a prominent waterway in the Mistmash), Swamp's Fork is a temporary town catering to the criminal element.

Reading Dan Simmons’ The Terror on this cold December night. The sleet pinging off the windows is a distant echo of the arctic horrors the crews of the HMS Terror and Erebus are facing. #WinterReading #Horror #NauticalFiction #Novels

My print copy of #WIRED arrived today.

Been a long time since I was a subscriber, and the magazine is much diminished in size ... but it's nice to have a physical copy again.

NeutronLad is on his first play through of #Cyberpunk2077 and just hit Johnny's assault on Arasaka Tower.

I'm so proud. #GeekDad #Cyberpunk #MaybeNukesAreTheRealPunkRock
