feels like a real win as a GM when you successfully take an NPC the players want to kill and make them SO sad the players volunteer to do impossible quests to solve their problems

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

Education Department wipes out special ed office in shutdown layoffs, union says

The Education Department laid off nearly everyone at the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.

I love a session zero. meeting a whole new party of weird player characters...establishing their weird relationships (late-night library pals, rescuing each other from "rural situations", horse girls together, etc)...the first glimpses of interesting party dynamics...it's just all so fun

Emi 🏳️‍🌈😷 @queeringsmite.bsky.social · 2d

you can tell I love and appreciate my players bc I've just spent Several Hours preparing the perfect hot villain

Emi 🏳️‍🌈😷 @queeringsmite.bsky.social · 2d

what are YOUR favorite tools for establishing relationships between player characters during session zero? I'm thinking exchanging relationship cards in Good Society, the calling questions in Heart, etc. looking for something fairly system neutral!

This was twenty-three months ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 16,365 kids since.

November 7, 2023 — Kids in Gaza host a press conference, in English, to beg the world for life.

“We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace…we want to live as the other children live.”

At the time, Israel forces had killed over 4,200 kids like these.
