Hip adjustments are also pretty easy for things without pockets. During which you can add pockets!

A grey tabby cat has stuffed herself into a small box. Her neck and head lean over the edge.

I did not wiggle out of my harness and catch a chipmunk today. I was framed.

(The chipmunk was rescued and is presumably recovering. And it seems I need a better cat harness.)

Rooftops and apartment buildings on a sunny day with a deep blue marina in the distance.

Rooftops and apartment buildings on a sunny day with a deep blue marina in the distance.

A cobblestone square with small townhomes facing it. The trees are just beginning to leaf out. Above and behind them a reddish brown castle with crenelated battlements spreads across the hill.

I've been mostly offline because of a range of things. But here's a couple of quick cell phone photos of our last trip to Portugal, neighborhood hunting. Lagos overlooking the marina, and looking up to the castle at Silves.

Both world building and the characters who live in it can ask those questions.

It comes down to this: That law and justice are not necessarily the same. How a society deals with that says a lot about it. You can't write a law that covers all situations.

In your example, how culpable is society for not providing the care he showed he needed at age 10? Is that part of justice?

The one we have here has cats that are fully vetted and are ones that have been waiting in foster for a home for a long time.

Just as world background? The mythology of Greek gods might have some perfect material. I'm especially thinking of the Titanomachy. Example: a couple of gods throwing giant rocks at each other could create tsunamis, earthquakes, destroy cities they fall on, etc

Same here. Oh well, that's March. At least the daffodils don't care.

A critter I haven't seen in my back yard before. The closest match I can find for salamanders in this range is Ambystoma talpoideum, but I am skeptical of that identification. #herpetology

Honestly it's better overall. The learning curve was pretty steep.

Druids, druids and druids.

The simplification makes the class more accessible to new players.

The swiss army knife class identity is still there.

The simplification makes the druid less flexible and reduces the potential in a single session.

A creepy dark hut in miniature. It sits on a spider's back with long fuzzy green legs. The hut has skulls by the front door and is aged with vines, moss, and a dusting of fall leaves.

Of course they came with props.

Basically Baba Yaga with a new coat of paint, but owing more to the earlier mythos where it's not just a witch who eats kids. Nice to you if you are nice to them and helping people on a heroes journey.

A court of hags that take turns being on duty. On duty, they live in a seemingly tiny hut in a jungle that walks on spider legs. They can give you anything... For a price. The price is clear up front but tends to have unforeseen consequences.

Early spring and the boaters are ready at the marina. Ditto Landing, Huntsville, Alabama #photography

I just got back from Europe. By the end of the trip and the Iran news, my answer was, "American... sorry."

It was a lovely day to get some sanding in for the mini treehouse project. It should be nice enough tomorrow to finish smoothing out those joins. #miniatures #crafting

Lost an injured cats make a beeline for my house. Bedraggled, hungry, limping cat arrives on a cold day. I bring her in for food and a warm safe spot and post on NextDoor: Is this Your Cat, come get her, I have her safe. I was immediately accused of stealing the cat.

My 4070ti super is well over twice what I paid for it two years ago.

I wish I could say I was prophetic to finally refresh my desktop and laptop, but no, I just got lucky.
