In my current WIP Perils & Princesses adventure I have both a plague of werewolves and a magic pool guarded by a nixie with water that cures illnesses. I hadn’t thought the water could maybe be used to cure lycanthropy, but my players did last night, and what a good idea!

Epic. Personal. Profound. This ep...🥲❤️🔥
Making something new for TNG and after. Bridging the realities of our century to ST's morality. The Great Marc Alaimo as Gul Du-not. O'Brien takes center stage. Ending with the song honoring the dead of the Irish Rebellion of 1798.
Wow.

Data as a parent. What a wonderful idea. Pairs nicely with Measure of a Man and Quality of Life. This is the heartfelt big idea scifi I come for. So much is explored here. Inherit rights and freedom. Personhood. Creating life. what THAT means.

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales
