I had a first-time player join late into my mid-level Shadowdark campaign this past week. Not only has he never played Shadowdark, but he has never played a TTRPG, so I started him with an immovable rod.

Is the immovable rod the perfect tool to teach players how to do OSR-style puzzle solving? I think so. Plus a list of 51 uses for it that I rattled off the top of my head.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

Once again I am asking small business owners, artists and artisans, and anyone else who purchases packaging to do it anywhere but Uline
Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

(Published 2022)
That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.
