The rainbow one is the best. Glass '95 and '01 are fine; the others are dull, dull, dull.

I think maybe he's actually saying "imzadi", which is the betazoid word for "beloved" or "soulmate" or something.
(Apologies if I've ruined a joke by taking the question literally. It's the neurodivergence.)

Depends. Angry at/for what?
If I've been occasionally thoughtless but never significantly wronged, that just seems normally human and lucky/privileged, respectively.
Could also be that they felt angry for you but didn't express it b/c it would make things harder/ complicated for you.

Ah! That changes things quite a bit. I was thinking 7 attack vs 3 defense = 4 damage.
Swinginess is much less a concern if it's only 1 damage no matter how hard the hit.
I do agree that it has the potential to drag. Maybe 5 cards instead of 7?

My worry would be not that it would drag, but that a value range of 1:13 could make it REAL swingy. If you draw a couple high attacks and mana, and your opponent can't muster much defense, that could be a first-turn KO.
Still sounds fun enough to be worth playtesting!

I've been told I give good advice.
I'm comfortable with that assessment -- proud of it, even -- but it's not something you can say about yourself without sounding like a raging egomaniac on the left edge of the Dunning-Kruger curve.

Homemade cranberry sauce is lovely.
Canned cranberry jelly -- in a cylinder, with the dents! -- is *important*.
I will delightedly partake of both.

Got one at the beginning of lockdown. I think we may have just bought toner for the first time. It's great.

You could do "iron rations, but the wizard knows Prestidigitation, so they taste amazing", which is arguably the most typical meal for a D&D adventurer.

Sometimes I wish Roger Moore would come back
With an underwater car and some kind of jetpack
Or a hover-gondola with a Union Jack

Your colleague is weird.
I'm American, and I've never heard anyone call setting the clock forward / back "going through the change."
I've only heard that phrase used as an (old-fashioned) euphemism for menopause.

If they're not on your radar already, Strange Horticulture and Strange Antiquities strike me as games you might enjoy.
They're, like, cozy horror. (They're also short and puzzly.)
