As a big fan of Women's Sports, Saba is excited about the launch of the women's professional baseball league in 2026 - but very worried that it will be ruined by the same greed and stupidity that made @mlb.com unwatchable. I feel like...

I was looking at my grandson's textbook. When we were kids, elemental chemistry was a whole lot easier.

Saba is listening to his Kirsty MacCall albums today. What an amazing talent and what a tragically short life. She goes from making you laugh to making you cry to everything in between.

You know why the Trump Nazi's hate PBS so much? Easy - follow my logic.
1) PBS produced THE ELECTRIC COMPANY
2) The ELECTRIC COMPANY featured LETTER MAN
3) LETTER MAN can change things by adding/subtracting letters - ie. "bat" into "batH" or vice versa
4) So, he could make ICE, NICE

Happy Old Halloween!
Plus, celebrate Martinmas by cutting your jacket in half and giving half to the needy!
(It seems to me that giving them the WHOLE jacket would be better, but mine is not to question why!)
Also, enjoy a Martini!

Saba reminds you that we're right in the heart of the Halloween season! "New" Halloween was on 31 October and "old" Halloween is on 11 November - so there's still plenty of time to raise the dead and go trick-or-treating!

For all my D&D playing friends, remember this important Halloween lesson:
Intelligence is knowing Frankenstein ISN'T the monster.
Wisdom is knowing Frankenstein IS the monster.
Of course, the creature DOES identify as a Frankenstein...so this just gets confusing.

Well, i enjoyed it!
Seriously, folks, it seems a lot of you are sleeping on this video, which is a shame. It's got:
* An interview about TSR in the 1990's with Ravenloft "shepherd" William W. Connors
* Ideas for using firearms, corrupting magic, & new classes in D&D
* Announcement of a giveaway of a 1978 AD&D PHB

Watching @daddyrolleda1.bsky.social's latest video and really enjoying it. It's about the Masque of the Red Death campaign setting, something near and dear to my heart. Thank you, Martin, for doing this.
Bonus - it sounds like we run the same magic level of games - a +1 sword is rare and amazing.

A comment on itch reminded me of this idea for creating #TTRPG dungeons I had a while back. I still think its neat and I don't think I've actually shared it here on bsky.
So bsky.. meet Crossword Dungeons!
Do a crossword, use the answers and designs as inspiration for the rooms, get creative!
