Today we are picking up the girls from school and then taking them to meet the new puppy (still can't bring her home for a couple more weeks). They have no idea.

For tons of folks, there was that -one- game that blew the doors open and showed what #TTRPGs could be. The one that started the #IndieGame rabbit hole.

What was YOUR "gateway" indie #TTRPG? The first one that made you realize a whole other world was out there?

In the book The Black Cauldron, there is a great class of monster called the Huntsmen of Annuvin. When one died, his power flowed into the rest of them. The fewer there were, the harder they were to kill. Very gameable enemy.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
