They say Chaos is inscrutable, but some have tried to make sense of it...and at great cost.

Have you ever read a book or watched a documentary and came away from it thinking, “holy shit, I thought I knew how the world worked, but now I’m not so sure.” It can be very off-putting, sure, but I love that feeling.

Unpacking can be a trial. I have a bit of organization to finish, and I still need to find my hobby glasses (I found the lenses, but I have no idea where I put my frames). However, I'm looking forward to slapping some paint on minis very soon.

Some thoughts on VTT and tech in gaming and elsewhere.
VTTs
Not long ago, Wizards of the Coast laid off around 90% of the staff of their highly praised and vaunted Project Sigil. But what is truly remarkable is how they managed to get so close. Project Sigil wasn’t just a self-imposed benchmark of a successful 5e run; it’s been an intermittent obsession of WotC since before the turn of the century.

Back in my Wizards of the Coast days, there was a weird and ultimately terrible initiative called Gleemax.

Delve RPG: Accessory Bag
Delve RPG: Accessory Bag
This zippered black bag is big enough to hold your dice, Surge Token, Delve RPG cards, a writing utensil, and a well-packed or sturdy miniature—and it has space for more! These bags were given out to select 2024-2025 convention players, and the last few are available here for a limited time! While other accessory bags will be produced in the future, none will be quite like this set!
