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).

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)

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!).

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.

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.
