Twenty years ago today, February 6, 2004, I started work on my first freelance editing assignment for Wizards of the Coast — the 3.5e sourcebook “Complete Arcane.”
What a long, fantastic trip it’s been.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

FRPG GM Tip: Award bonuses, advantage, or other benefits to encourage narratively interesting suboptimal play. If a mage places a huge area effect to take down just the evil boss because they don’t want to target the ten lackeys fighting with the boss, maybe those lackeys automatically surrender.

Just a thing about this: a common statement in writing is that you can fix crap, but you can't fix a blank page.
I have heard AI apologists claim that this is why it's fine to generate a first draft.
Now, to be clear, fuck this.
But also: an AI draft is a fucking blank page.

I know I don’t talk about writing much. It is because I am writing so slowly.
But I want you to know that I am taking a part of this story that absolutely sucked and took me months to produce four of the worst chapters I have ever written and in the edit I figured out how to fix it.

"since they are Canadian I would not rule out treachery"
I'm quite content to have authoritarian regimes and their media lackies switch the Canadian stereotype from gormless apologizers to untrustworthy rogues.
Fuck it, white supremacists neo-Nazi regimes should see us as not someone to trust.

The Atlantic suggesting, without evidence, that Canada's Global TV broadcasting the '60 Minutes' segment on CECOT that CBS distributed to it may have been an act of "treachery."

FRPG Player Tip: Keep different sets of dice on hand for different combination rolls. Most commonly, if your character uses different weapons with different damage dice in a d20 game, have a matched set of attack and damage dice for each weapon combo that you’re ready to roll as needed.

FRPG GM Tip: You don’t need to make use of every element of every character’s backstory as the campaign plays out. But picking one or two touchstone elements can maximize player engagement. And if you’re not sure which backstory element to focus on, ask the player what they’d like to explore.

FRPG Player Tip: Take every available opportunity to describe not just what your character is doing, but how they’re doing it. Fill in the details of the attack that dropped a boss. Talk about what making a stealthy advance down a dark corridor looks like. Description isn’t just the GM’s job.

Today, in an hour and a quarter, is the moment of astronomical solstice, when the sun will be the farthest away from the northern hemisphere. May the light and warmth return, may the coming year be more merciful, just, and kind.
