Another martial class from Bhakashal is the Spartan, the Bhakashal Monk. Spartans are masters of body and mind, and they gain abilities related to both.

They are a fighter subclass, so they can handle themselves in combat

An inevitable fact of working in a creative field is that the clients who see the least value in your work always want more, want it faster, want it cheaper, and complain the loudest along the way.

Astor met a sweet little kid at the library yesterday who told Astor that he likes dancing and singing, to which Astor replied, "I like monsters and killing stuff."

If they got together...

Sunday morning puzzle. I’ve never seen a puzzle with different size pieces so the entire family could participate. It was a big hit!

For anyone who owns or works at a game store or just has insight on this, how common is it for stores to sponsor or support school TTRPG clubs?

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.
On some level, every RPG design is an argument for how things could be better. Few things motivate design like seeing another game and being inspired by what it could be, but is not.

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