I really want a blink dog irl now…
As a certified dog-lover, I've always thought Blink Dogs were pretty cool. I imagine my own lil pups bamfing in and out of sight while playing with them in the yard.

The after-school #DnD club I run for my students had a holiday party yesterday, and I had the kids make Beholder ornaments. I think they turned out great 😁

Problem: I’ve been craving a Greggs steak bake, but since Greggs is a UK chain, the nearest location is roughly 4,400 miles away.
Solution: be the Greggs you wish to see in the world…

It seems pretty clear to me that dragon feces is going to have HP & Con benefits for dragonborns. Thinking here of stool transplants being used to treat irritable bowel syndrome IRL… dragon feces has to be chock full of the bacteria that a dragonborn microbiome needs, right?

In D&D, what are the magical qualities of dragon feces?
If none yet, what might some of them be?
For sure, all dragon poop should clear the skin of pimples, blackheads, ingrown hairs, and other such temporary blemishes.

Super proud of my youngest: he just got finished GMing for the 1st time, running a one-shot he wrote himself for #Shadowdark! His friends loved it 🙂 He hand drew his own dungeon, and made a puzzle for his players to put together irl to reveal a secret room in the dungeon.

After seeing a newsletter from The Arcane Library with this free monster earlier today, I challenged my 8th grade GMs to work it into their after-school sessions today… it was hilarious to hear the shrieks of laughter in my classroom as cranberry juice got into PCs eyes 😁

Reading Astrotopia for the 2nd time in 6 months - 1st time was for pleasure, 2nd time for one of the classes I’m taking - and somehow it’s even more on-point than it was in May! Mary-Jane Rubenstein just might be my favorite contemporary thinker… #theology #religion #philosophy #science #spacerace
