That's exactly why I could never get into D&D Beyond. We use Foundry at my tables because of the flexibility to add whatever you need wherever you need it, very quickly and easily. Not to mention it's a one time purchase.

Of course, we play from 400 miles apart so YMMV!

We ventured out to Costco this weekend. By far the busiest place we’ve been all year. Nugget did fantastically despite a ton of people actively trying to distract her. A friendly reminder to everyone: if you see a #ServiceDog in public, please don’t try to get their attention.

Just wondering how all those Gen Z protest voters are feeling right about now. I’ve never been able to fathom how anyone ever thought Trump gave two shits about the people of Gaza.

(And no, I don’t think it’s going to happen. But once again the God King shows his voters what he actually thinks.)

Grocery stores either disagree or are just taking advantage and jacking up prices. Or both. Probably both.

Everything is going swimmingly with grocery prices. Thanks MAGA folks, really appreciate it.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Was just clearing out my folders when I found a screenshot of the time I'm pretty sure I gave #ChatGPT a stroke. What's amazing is that despite the incoherent ramblings of a mad mind, the script it wrote worked perfectly the first time. Go figure!
