Not gonna deadname her, but I'm still going to pat the head of the leopard that ate her face as she is not so-deliciously-ironically suffering the backlash of her chosen political stipe...
What the...? Agile is a university level thing now?
Emily. You are lying. Why?
I want to add "fitness industry" bullshittery to this list.
Men are and have been sold an impossible-to-achieve-without-drugs "healthy" uber-fitness, "muy-muscular", "get the women because you're built like an Adonis" lifestyle for years.
The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable.
The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back.
We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

I am looking for (specifically Canadian) Indigenous/First Nations D&D creators in this space... writers, research, illustrators...
I have a project idea - anyone have a lead or three they could point me towards?
Respectfully disagree.
He's an American Christian conservative... he's got PLENTY of cult following.
Yeah... but counter-point:
Vance is a religious fanatic... it would be BAD to put one of those in charge of the nuclear codes.
Doesn't Vance take over at that point?
Wouldn't that be... objectively WORSE because at least Trump is a simpleton bully... Vance has that evil religiosity to deal with.
We'd be five steps closer to "Gilead".
What game is she playing NOW, though?
If it's D&D, I ain't telling her shit and will defend her with my last breath.

I would like to borrow this image potentially for a D&D game, @trashmobminis.bsky.social !
I would try this system JUST for the cat.
I appreciate the sentiment.
I do not in any way support AI.
HOWEVER... and this is something never quite addressed... what if the funds are not there to pay often-exorbitant prices for art up front before the project launches?
I have ideas and projects, but the price of art is limiting.
I feel like the only correct answer is "both". LOL
Watched the Supergirl trailer, and I, for one, fully support the subgenre of movies that posit if someone hurts your dog, you get to murder a lot of people over it.
Ezekiel Dakila!
So proud of our hell-tethered himbo!

It's like they took a page from "Better Off Ted" and made a site for Veridian Dynamics... the difference being Veridian doesn't take itself as seriously. LOL
To be fair... we had adverts before the 90s, but it was more constrained... instead of digital subscription to stream channels, we had cable channel packages (and ads on the main cable channels whether we wanted them or not).
Tech has just evolved as most things do - exponentially.

Bare Naked.
Looks like the plan is to open up player options (again) with subclasses, etc.
We're going to get more anthologies (particularly 3PP) as the DnDB cash cow pushes harder in the direction of subscriptions... particularly because they couldn't close up the open licensing and get more $ with the OGL2.0
Rewarding milestones in the arbitrary and haphazard way it seems to happen these days just shows a lack of experience and understanding of WHY the characters are leveling up in the first place.
In that case, stick to xp. It's easy - there's no guesswork.
I should do YouTube videos on this stuff. 😂
Truth be told... I recommend new Dungeon Masters reward new levels to their player characters by using xp - it takes that "storytelling" guesswork out of the game and lets the players simply "explore".
If you're going to reward character levels by "milestone", you need to learn (or to have a solid feel for) how to storyboard and how to script the ebbs and flows of story arcs.
You reward the level when it MEANS something, not just "every 3 games because the book says so".
