Not writing nearly as much about RPGs or Agile as I would like to be.
I have more things from those sales that I would freely admit.

I would probably have to literally go scour the shelves to find an example, but I also think there were some early d20 products that suffered because they didn’t really *get* d20
Hrm. Actually, the best example I can think of was self-inflicted. Wheel of Time as d20 was a huge miss.

“Harm” is weird to measure.
Most examples I can think of were ALSO very low effort adaptations, but even for those, the harm is more a matter of lost opportunity than direct cost.

So, however you celebrate, I wish you well on this wondrous day.
This is enough. You are enough.
This is enough. You are enough.

Anyway, I suspect that people have more important things to do on the Black Pie Day than listen to an old man's rambles. I, for one, have The Breakfast Of Pie to get to, and if I don't go quickly, I'm not sure the child will leave me anything but a bit of crust.

To all such apologies, the reply should always be "This is enough." (or, in more formal settings, "This is enough. You are enough.")

For non-Americans, who are unfamiliar: On Black Pie day, it is unacceptable to apologize for not having done enough for the day. You may not apologize for the state of the house, for some imagined failing in your leftovers, or because you had nothing to bring.

None of which is to *diminish* the important of the spirit of Sufficiency. Yes, she is the reason it is a day of leftovers and (most critically) pie, but she is ALSO the reason for the Black Pie Day apology.

This is, after all, the day to support the people who have burnt themselves out making the holidays work for everyone else. It also has evolved into the day of collapse and recovery for friends who have either braved shopping on this day or, worst of all, have been working.

This ended up melding with Black Pie Day stories, to the point where the spirit is now referred to as Aftercare. Traditionalist grumble at this, but I think it's been a tremendously positive change, and really emphasizes the importance of the day.
