![Hi Ryan, [Redacted for spoilers]
Your writing of queer characters is perfect, in that you don't do it. You just plop them in without explanation. There is no trauma to explain it, no anything, just they are there, no questions asked, moving on. [Redacted for spoilers] That's enough for a full D&D campaign! It's quite good.
Also your writing has just a really good amount of whimsey. It feels very fun and fresh. I especially like how you describe Kuro finally learning more about [Redacted for spoilers]. I'm stealing those concepts for my D&D character's journal.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gpe5k4zgb5hpdtlbmtixwf4n/bafkreieacqk4qg5w5bycv53bee5mcw2cpopqh2oaoysapqncogz74qtxma@jpeg)

Alright! I feel pretty good about that. I'm going to step away and come back later with fresh eyes, but that feels like pretty good progress for Christmas morning.
How do y'all feel about it?

It got worse as the day went on. This is the shape of "Oh god I have a niece who I forgot to get anything for. Does she read? She reads, right? If I click the 'increase human suffering' button it will be there by tomorrow at midnight. Done!"

It has been pointed out to me that Stealing from Wizards Volume 4 is a Christmas story, but mostly in the way Die hard is a Christmas movie. 🔥

This is my favourite D&D magic item I've ever made: the Legendary Orery,
It started as just the top two disks, giving the player one of four random cantrips each day. They discovered more disks as they adventured, giving them a random set of extra prepared spells each day up to level five.

Sometimes folks like to tell me how much their kids likes my books. This is the correct use of the internet: cute animal photos and unmitigated praise of specifically my books. 😋

Stealing from Wizards is a perfect holiday gift. It's a complete series with a good old fashioned Christmas episode in each except not actually Christmas since they're in a fantasy world so it's solstice.
Get them for the precocious pagans in your life!
