Folks, it's some nasty air in the #PAXUnplugged vendor hall right now. A number like this tells you that the HVAC system is overwhelmed.
Your risk tolerance is your own business, but you should at least know the level of risk you're dealing with. #PAXU

Having fun at #paxunplugged on a Saturday is Frankly, more of a chore

It’s great! A bit weak in lycanthropes though imho (which is what I needed it for suddenly this week)
Last night, my players surprised me (they always will) when they boarded an astral ship and went to space. I was saved by the only non-Worm book I have at the table. I am reminded just how valuable this resource is. It gave me the freedom to adapt and still run the game in a radically new direction.

The damage done by treating Trump's victory as some sweeping mandate in the first eight months of his term really was massive, but ending that collective delusion - i think with the help of last week's elections - really is having profound impacts.

I simply do not understand why being ‘devoted’ to any foreign state is either desirable or necessary for a politician of a different state, let alone a prerequisite for belonging to a particular political party within that state.

Dems are winning offices I didn’t even know existed.
Prothonotary?
I think they invented that, installed a GOPer in it, and then voted him out for sport.
Prothonotary sounds like a mid-level Vatican office held over from some 8th century schism.
But it got flipped in Bucks County!

Psalm 73:1-10
[1] Truly God is good to Israel,
to those who are pure in heart.
[2] But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,
my steps had nearly slipped.
[3] For I was envious of the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
