🧵 Why you should include firearms and other technology in your #dnd game...
1. Because they're historical - Gunpowder is older than many of the common weapons in D&D. Rapier, longbow, and even halberd are more recent inventions than gunpowder.

Worth a watch for Edmund Fitzgerald day. Kicks off with Gordon Lightfoot said he wrote the song not just for this ship, but for the hundreds of ships that sank in the Great Lakes without popular notice (also, this corrects a few facts in the song) youtu.be/osAvIsgwIV0?...

The crazy thing about lake freighters is that they last forever. If the Edmund Fitzgerald hadn’t sunk 50 years ago, she’d probably still be hauling ore today. The last ship to see her, the Arthur M. Anderson, was still sailing as recently as last year.

One more skeet for Edmund Fitzgerald Day. Behind this historical marker is the famed Whitefish Bay. Today the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in Paradise, Mich., rang the recovered bell 31 times, 29 for the victims of the wreck, once for all Great Lakes shipwreck victims, and once for Gordon Lightfoot.

NEW from me: CO2 emissions in China have now been flat or falling for 18 months, the first time that energy demand growth at or above historical averages doesn't drive emissions up, thanks to the clean energy boom. 🧵👇

"Fossil demand has been flat for industrial energy since 2014, for buildings since 2018, for road transport since 2019, & may peak for electricity this year. 2/3 of countries have already seen peak fossil demand in end-use sectors, & half the world has seen a peak in fossil fuels for electricity."

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.
The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.
The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

Every hobby decays into becoming a meta-hobby of just buying the shit involved in doing that hobby. It's a lot easier than using that stuff, after all, and gives the exact same sense of accomplishment.

Any attempt to accurately and simply describe what goes in in TTRPGs will result in discovering someone's weird pet issues, but if you keep at it long enough, you'll also discover your own weird pet issues.

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.
If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.
