Shared with team MCG recently: "My wife and I met playing Numenera almost 9 years ago [...] she was a Clever Nano who Focuses Mind Over Matter and I was a Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase. She was the only one who could keep me real 😉"

We love this story of Ninth World love!

I have the most "i'm too old for this shit" complaint about Starfleet Academy:

Can we go back to opening titles that tell us the characters' names?

I appreciate that in this time of uncertainty and media bias, Vogue is still out there asking the tough questions.

Ran my the second session of our Daggerheart mini-campaign.

Went great overall.

One issue i had: i didn't check the stat blocks closely when selecting them, so i ended up with a Pirate Captain whose power is to summon more pirates, but narratively by this point there were no more pirates alive!
