My #dnd take on "Who's the Boss"

Tony: Lawful good paladin, no question, lays on hands all the time.
Angela: Chaotic good cleric, healer in a pinch.
Mona: Lawful evil thief, heart in there somewhere but mostly selfish
Sam: Neutral good fighter, arcane archer
Jonathan: NPC

If Star Wars taught me anything it's that if I ever swallow a tiny bug I should be on alert for an equally tiny Millennium Falcon to zoom back out between my teeth.

I am having some kinda feelings here. I need this. Do I smell toast? Is this the rapture?

I love a clean email inbox, but lately I just haven't had the energy to do manage it. It got...crazy. Like a feces-covered yeti rolled in burnt dog hair and sprayed with patchouli.

(Those are the worst things I can think of.)

I think about this a lot::

"To one side of it was death: the sick bay where Zeke, the last man alive, had given up the ghost a day and a half ago, after making a joke about what a shame it all was: being the only man alive, with eight women to choose from."

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Daaaaang.

I wonder what the GOP response will be. I imagine they'll need to hose down the ketchup on the walls of the White House.

I'm having a beer while coding a site, and this little, tiny bug comes and lands on the edge of the beer and clearly takes a sip. Dude's gonna be wasted.

Like how much can one man get away with and still get laid? That’s Riker’s final frontier.

They might be able to shove their propaganda at southern airports but it doesnt mean I have to see it here.

I'll unblock this regime once it's no longer a regime.

Until then... 👋

This movie still kicks all kinds of ass.

One of the other parts to that Star Wars D6 procedure was the "problems" table, where you generate things that the other table has chances to solve.

This is how they wrote The Mandalorian
A long time ago when I was regularly running Star Wars games, I came up with some frameworks for generating "what's next." This is part of it. First you roll a trouble (e.g., broken hyperdrive) and then roll 3d20 and read down the columns for who/what can solve it.

I know everyone is all "boo" on AI, but when you start it on digging into the lore of a cathedral it gets really excited. I think they're all secretly DnD maniacs who just want to play so badly.

As a person with dyslexia - who had to look up multiple times how to spell dyslexia and even after looking it up I still couldn't do it - masked password forms are the worst. Captchas I also cannot decipher. They're a blind box to me. Can't read them.

Not sure how real this is but I for sure watched every second of it. Whatever this is, it's made me want to make new adventures for Star Wars D6.

Once upon a time, on the bad site, there was a flash fiction challenge. I used to do it. Typically you have to create a world, a character, and a scenario in under 50 words. I broke the rules pretty often. Here's one: 1/7

Far above the Ephel Dúath in the West the night sky was still dim and pale. There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a bright star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and... 1/2

I will eat mayonnaise by the spoonful how did I get passed up for this job.
Initially, our testers (even those who were big fans of mayo) were intimidated by the thought of eating such a fatty condiment by the spoonful. Surprisingly, it wasn’t as daunting a task as we had expected. nyti.ms/42h8Zmw
