I’m looking forward to it too! My weekly group probably isn’t going to change their characters soon, so I might look to the MCDM server for some pickup games to try player things out. Haven’t decided exactly what’s next, but I’m reading though a few first-level adventures…

Just started drafting my first couple posts for a similar project! I’m baking it into my weekly game prep—reading new supplements and considering what I’d actually bring to the table.

Seriously, it takes five minutes. Do it instead of scrolling the next time you go to the bathroom.

And they’re asking for people who’re eligible to march? I don’t agree with this in any way but I’m surprised the pitch wasn’t to try and get recent ageouts to stay involved with the group instead

Watch out for paperwork in the bathrooms, apparently

A photo of a computer screen showing google maps. The map is centered on Mar-a-Lago, but there is a pin on the main building labeled “Kremlin Headquarters.” The business has mixed reviews.

waaaaay too many people in the middle imo

a venn diagram. the left circle is “people who understand that climate change is an existential threat” and the right circle is “people who use Al, but, like, not for real work! lol! i just needed a silly pic of a dog on a scooter and it's surprisingly hard to find good reference images”

It’s been such a pleasure following along the journey. As soon as the laid out pdf hits my inbox, I’m going to start running demos at my LGS because it really is in a league of its own.

General Motors has a company called Cruise that was developing self-driving taxis. The project lost a ton of money so GM is scrapping it and moving to personal vehicles.

No game like Dune.
