One underrated aspect of running a WOTC adventure is all the discussion and resources you can find online about it. Maps, handouts, mechanics, etc. to help spice things up.

Ran my first ever panel at Galaxy Con: San Jose this past weekend on dungeon design. Had a blast!

Next step will be running a panel on self-publishing at Fan Expo: SF in November.

this orchid has been the easiest plant i’ve ever taken care of. BUT !!! i had to do a bit of research to figure out what it specifically needs.

imagine if you had to keep an orchid alive for 2 months before you were allowed to have kids (/s?)
Orchid plant with 2 thin stems. 3 flowers on left stem, 1 on right with additional buds on both. Flowers are pink/purple in color.

Someone asked what advice I would give a young person who wants to make a living as a writer, or live a creative life.

I think this is as good an answer as I'll ever come up with.

For all the creatives out there, wanted to share this quote I came across (in a George Carlin book, of all places). Definitely inspired me to keep doing what i'm doing.
"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.... "No artist is pleased. ... [There is no] satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others." —Martha Graham to Agnes de Mille, Martha: The Life and Work of Martha Graham

New favorite decoration: Deep Space Nine ornament. Has little hooks on the upper pylons and docking ring for ships. The quality and creativity of the 90s - early 2000s ornaments blows me away. Feels like they’d never make this kinda stuff today.

These interesting convos make me wonder what a GM's guide could be if it focused less on "these are what the rules are" and more explaining the *why* behind the rules. how does the rule contribute to the fun of the game?

If you fail to pick a lock, can you try again? I think Draw Steel's answer of "no" plays better than D&D's "keep rolling."
CAN I TRY AGAIN? In many cases when you fail a test, you can’t attempt the test again unless the circumstances of the test change. For instance, if you attempt an Agility test to pick a lock and fail, you can’t attempt to pick the lock again unless you get some better lockpicks, oil the lock, have someone demonstrate how to pick a similar lock, and so on. The Director decides when the circumstances have changed enough to allow a new attempt at a test. Trying Again Sometimes a character fails an ability check and the player wants to try again. In many cases, failing an ability check makes it impossible to attempt the same thing again. For some tasks, however, the only consequence of failure is the time it takes to attempt the task again. For example, failing a Dexterity check to pick a lock on a treasure chest doesn’t mean the character can’t try again, but each attempt might take a minute.

I'm curious what everyone thinks of this style where you ask the players to help build part of the story. I'm not sure it fits my style exactly but I can see how it could lead to immersive moments.

i wish i was into star wars. there's so much cool merch: sports teams, christmas sweaters, etc etc. it feels universally pervasive within society in a way that other mainstream nerdy franchises such as star trek and dnd aren't.

Sometimes all it takes is 1 person who believes in you and your work. The encouragement and fresh perspective can launch you in new directions you never dreamt were possible.

So if you see something cool: a simple "I really think you have something here!" can make all the difference.
