We're working on a new season of Adventuring Academy - and if you have a question for Brennan and this season's guests to talk about, you can submit it here! forms.gle/g6dwMHpY9X5...
Adventuring Academy Question Submission
Another season of Adventuring Academy is on the way! Got questions you want Brennan and the guest to answer about TTRPGs, D&D, actualplay, comedy, performing, improv, and whatever else? Submit 'em here! Note: please no questions about Dimension 20, sequels to existing seasons, or questions directed at Brennan. These will not be used. The more specific the question, the better! (e.g. don't ask "How do I get better at ____?")

Many judges are fighting to protect librarians just so they can do their job at the LIBRARY.

On this Christmas Day, I think of this poem written by a 13-year-old child with the help of The Magic Words. If we can keep listening to people, especially children, keep helping people speak up, sing out, we just might have a real chance at change. 🕯️

Federal Court upholds ban on Arkansas library law! 💙📚
The ruling said sections of the law they enjoined “would permit, if not encourage, library committees and local governmental bodies to make censorship decisions based on content or viewpoint, which would violate the First Amendment.” - @npr.org

Just watched Love Actually for the first time and I didn’t love it, actually.
Every male character in the film sexually harasses / “falls in love with” or / has an inappropriate relationship with every woman who works with him??
More female producers, writers and executives, please.

This morning I saw a post from an author talking about their book
I am already aware of their book and when I see them post about it I'm usually like "I should pick that up."
But THIS time their post caught me at the right moment and I bought the book.
PLEASE YELL ABOUT YOUR BOOKS. Thank you.
