From the brilliant mind of Magnolia Keep comes the long-awaited sequel to Combat as my Balls!

The term "Player skill" has always rankled me, so I decided to delve a little deeper into that and discuss different kinds of player skill games can encourage.

99% of rpg zines and books should have page numbers.

And that's just the start. There's actually a lot of technique and intentionality behind things like page numbers, running headers, etc.

Let me know what you think!

I am once against digging into AD&D. The question: Who can build a stronghold? Different classes can build different strongholds at different levels, but demihuman characters are limited to certain levels as certain classes. Who can attain a high enough level to build a stronghold in this world?

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Bit disappointed with my copy of Our Queen Crumbles by @comemartin.bsky.social . Weird cheap construction of the packaging led to all this damage from opening it ONCE, and after opening it you have to basically reconstruct the box every time… The cover is beautiful but the packaging is so bad…. :/
