I discovered, much to my delight, that if I skip an episode or two and don't tell anybody, *nobody will know*, and my life will be ever so slightly brighter.

A (paying) player recently give me a backstory that he had proudly AI generated and it just... made me sad. Why allow the AI to have all the fun for you?

(Later I incorporated elements of that backstory into the plot, as one does, and it had zero impact for that player, predictably enough.)

I think the answer is different in British English and American English, so you can chalk that one up to emigration.

Also 3 of the 4 monks are mercy monks, which I found interesting. (2 of the 3 clerics are war clerics, and the wizards are spread evenly between everything-but-abjurers.)

It's clear that kids continue to have no idea what to make of Paladins/Rangers: I don't think any of the 4 have used Smite or Hunter's Mark a single time amongst them.

This is the first time tieflings have outnumbered dragonborn, though we've been steadily climbing that direction over the past year. Pleasantly surprised by the relative class diversity.

It's not even a "problem." It's a clickbait headline quoting someone totally unrelated to the project.

Who's "they"? Some anonymous source an a totally unrelated writer? This is clickbait; a bullshit article published by some bullshit publication to profit minutely off of a slow release schedule.

Yes, goth kids absolutely still exist.

Very Simlish.

That's some San Francisco-ass shit.

I hope the typo bought itself a drink before being consigned to oblivion.
