I'm super excited to start a Daggerheart campaign - as a player!
If it continues to be successful, I predict the dice companies will be making special d12s the way they do d20s now.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

📷 Black and white #photography #pentax #monochrome is not something I do often, but it's humbling to be reminded the process is about light, not color.

This is one of those games that just sticks in my head. It's a perfect Halloween treat.
The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is a blood-curdling 55% off in the Steam Halloween sale!
A perfect time to play our folk horror adventure game inspired by movies such as The Wicker Man & the works of M.R. James, with a little pinch of Twin Peaks and Lovecraft.

I had no idea that a broken toe hurt this much.
I was born with sigogglin toes anyway so I'm not sure if it matters to go get it set.

If you are in need, go to your local food bank. It's there for you.
If you are not in need and can help, please do.

but don’t take away from that the idea that food banks are useless. they’re going to feed people- not going to feed them enough, and not going to feed enough people, but food in mouths.
anything you can do for food banks right now isn’t at all wasted, it is more sure to be useful than ever

PSA: If you have a mechanical keyboard, you should pull all the keycaps and pull off the cat hair wrapped around your switches. Sincerely, someone who just spent an hour to return to a lovely responsive keyboard.

Dolly says it's not yet before we have to say goodbye. A lot of rich and powerful people are happy to pull the ladder up after them, but she builds more ladders. The world needs more Dollys.
BREAKING
In a new video, Dolly Parton, the Queen of America, says she’s going to be ok.

It's getting late in the summer. The usual suspects are dropping leaves: black cherry, crabapple, hackberry, black gum. It's sometime yet to frost, but it's coming.

I'm sorry, baby, I shouldn't have cheated. That Olympus meant nothing to me and I will never leave you again.
My experiment with a micro 4/3rds was a failure. So I have come back to the #Pentax fold with an upgrade and some juicy limited lenses. #photography
