1. Every table is different and there is no “right way” to run it. Do what’s fun for you and listen to player feedback.

Tali (short for Tali’Zorah) is a sweet little neighborhood kitten we took in when it started getting cold out, and over the past few weeks she’s quickly made herself at home with us.
We’ll be waiting another month before we start charging her rent.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Yes, if you have to carve out a few scant minutes a few times a week, you project may take months or years to finish.
But if you don't start, that time will pass anyway, without having a project at the end.
