I'm confident now in my ability to know when a message is being given to me, but I still miss a lot of messages through lack of interpretation. That's where I'll be putting future energy into next.

This is a reminder that your #birthday is the completion of that year of your life, not the start.

Doesn't change anything, just a thought bubble.

Sometimes, I say something or improve mid session in #dnd5e [specifically when they ask a question i didnt concider] and then I have to actually incorporate it later. . . played myself.

Gold is dense AF. I just added a 1-foot diameter, 2-inch gold disk to a dungeon and had Chad calculate how heavy it: 525 lb! 😱

Which means by D&D standards (1 lb gold = 50 gp) the disc is worth 26,250 gp.

I don't think sports should be male or female. Instead, I think it should be by weight and height.

Building the Night Carnival from Van Richten's Guild, the parallel of the Witchlight Carnival, anyways added the Zoltar fortune telling coin machine as an attraction...but it's a beholder in a box.

To create my own Deck of Many Things to fit my setting, to curate the 13 cards from the actual item, or to randomly roll the 13 cards and live with the consequences of my own actions?
