In 10 days my module The Door in Murex Canyon releases via @spacepenguinink.bsky.social. A small hex crawl and dungeon in a far future post apocalyptic industriazal wasteland. Dualstated for B/X d&d and Cairn. Perfect to convert to any dungeon crawler. Check out @itsjustgart.bsky.social cover art!

A partial color illustration in black, white, and purple. A hulking mostly mechanical figure will bull horns, a sword, and a poncho along side what appears to be a pointy eared elf with a staff gaze upon a massive mechanical door at the bottom of a natural stone wall. Text atop the illustration says The Door in Murex Canyon, a 5th level adventure for BX and cairn. It's credited to Condrey, Crader, and Gilraine.

Look at the innocence of childhood, look at the pain inside them, look at the hunger, how it affected their bodies, the horrific anemia inside them. Don't be stingy with my children in buying food and medicine. Don't let them die of hunger.

18 hours left: please share! One of the families of the giving circle is Mohamed’s. He’s the sole caretaker of his siblings & parents—their tent is worn out just as the nights are getting cold. This is life-threatening.

It’s a good question and I have a serious answer to it: we largely just try to embody people in a fictional world. It might seem like minutiae or inefficient storytelling, but we enjoy it. A satisfying narrative is not as interesting to my group as a meaningfully realized life if that makes sense?

did anyone else experience that "time skip" a few years ago? Back in 2018, I was driving on the highway in broad daylight. I blinked, and suddenly it was night. I was still driving, my car was fine, and I was only 5 minutes from my exit, but I had lost about 6 hours. I felt completely normal, just confused. There was no news about anything strange in my area. I've never told anyone because it sounds insane. Has anyone else experienced a sudden, unexplained loss of time with no memorv of what happened?

Occurs razor to me is alien abduction, as wild as that seems

When I go to the cinema with my idiot children and their dozens of braying friends I expect a modicum of decorum. These are the movies. Show some respect.

Imagine the four of these heads combined. And yet mine is even longer

The fact that the same game can become a very different game at each table, as it's reshaped to specific group's interpretation is to me a good thing. I love that, it's exciting. I love ttrpgs for their melleable, DIY aspect. I don't pick them up seeking to experience designer's intent.
