My 90s Urban Fantasy campaign has a dragon problem. Making them extinct seems the easiest, but what if they are not? What would a dragon hoard in modern(ish) times? Paper money? creditcards? Beanie Babies? (since it's the 90s and all)

Your bed will never feel as comfortable as 5 minutes before the alarm goes off on a Monday morning.

Sometimes, AI does exactly what it was supposed to do.
I was checking in on the Gävle Goat, which has survived to Christmas, and YouTube understood I wanted something fiery. So it gave me a live feed of the Kilauea Volcano. Which led to a lovely chat and now I am deep diving into Menehune. ❤️

Bluesky let Jesse Singal stay and now he's posting the spreadsheet again with the PHI of trans youth from Missouri.

They only emboldened him.

Oh no. Aruba will not have any "pagaras" for sale this year. The shipments from China never arrived. That leaves a huge hole in our new years celebrations. Pagaras are set off twice on the 31st. Companies at noon, and families at midnight. See video if you're confused.

I've got zombies on my mind. Of the two main types of zombies to come out of "Night of the Living Dead", the Russo zombie is arguably more terrifying than the Romero zombie. Which might be why it became the comic relief zombie. Playing a Russo zombie straight will becomes too bleak even for zombies

Kid is playing Morrowind for the Nth time. It's gotten to the point he's making up his own missions. Such as "steal all pillows to construct the most epic pillow fort"

Because there's no wrong way to play your favorite game.

I am a hard rock/metal fan. My eldest leans towards punk and emo. Grandparents play 60s and 70s folk and rock.

Where was my youngest (13) exposed to Frank Sinatra to the point he knows basically all the words to "My Way"? Peers?

I'm not mad at it, just baffled.

Nerd logic:
I'm making an Asian inspired setting, with elves and orcs and gnomes and dragons!

But not ninjas.

Ninjas aren't real.

I talked to my table about lines and veils. Both in a group and one on one. They all claimed "none" lines and some pretty standard veils.
Last session they helped a ghost of a 10 year old kid find peace.
After the session one player said he had "issues" with dead kids. 1/2

Elections in Aruba tomorrow, my current home. And it completely slipped my mind that they stop selling alcohol when elections come around here. So no wine for me on Friday night. Which isn't a big deal, I'm just annoyed the reason for it is people can't be civilized about politics.

A friend just posted a spotify meme "You spend 525,600 minutes this year BEING GAY"

2024 is a leap year.

Which suggests he took a day off.

You know what? That's valid. Maybe we could al use a day off from sexuality and identity or actively being something.

I have shockingly not lost Whamageddon yet.
The longest I have lasted in years.

Entertainment is so very objective. So many times I hear someone talking about a movie, series or game and I am left wondering if we experienced the same piece of entertainment. I've watched movies where I was impressed with the director trying to do a thing, only to find out the movie was loathed

I am somewhat convinced that Yoon Suk Yeol tried to one-up Johnny Somali, live streaming nuisance via news media.

It's just a prank, bro

New Mincraft update is live. There's now an episode of the Twilight zone in your worlds, complete with the Black and White look :)

A post hurled me down memory lane.
My very best gaming memory was booting up Mechwarrior. Joystick in my right hand for aiming and firing, throttle lever in my left hand for speed, feet on the rudder control panel for the torso twist. Immersion never reached those levels again.

My gamer tag in Minecraft is Mother of Nerds. I claimed that title a few years ago when my youngest, then 7, sat watching a Pokémon YouTube video, completely straight faced, while the host repeatedly mentioned PP.

My 13 year old just pitched me a #DnD campaign he called "cheater's D&D". The party is stuck in the hells, trying to make their way back to the material plane. They should make changes to their charactersheet at the start of each session and if the DM doesn't catch on, those changes become permanent

My new #DnD campaign is set in the mid 90s. So there's some technology, but the players don't have the internet in their pockets just yet. I've started thinking of the setting as pre-apocalyptic. It should be a thing. Not only is it plain anxiety free fun, if needed I could introduce an apocalypse

Spells that seem like the come from D&D, but actually work on family members.

"We need to talk" casts fear on significant others.

Use their full name and suddenly kids obey you

"I need help moving" teleports bothers and uncles to a different plane of existence

"I'm hungry" summons a grandmother
