Jack made this killer spider in class. I thought it was something the class did together, with instructions but no, his teacher said it was his own creation.
This is what studying D&D monsters every morning before school will do to your brain.

To the film maker, the composer, the chef— to anyone who’s ever made something they were passionate about, Rob gets it.

So you make this beautiful argument with your soul, and the overwhelming response is *always* to keep playing D&D
