After another "mark forums read" refresh a few minutes ago, I continue to see the behavior. In the attached screenshot the thread "Worst Published Adventure Starts" is not bold (ie, is marked as read), even though I haven't read that thread since I posted this thread in meta, which is right...

Also to note that I don't see any obvious unknown activity on/from my account. If there something suspicious, it's not leaving traces I can detect myself.

I just logged in this morning and noticed that quite a few threads are marked as read even though I haven't read them. Typically, after viewing the threads I'm interested in (eg, at end of my last visit for the day), I'll click the "Mark forums read" button up top on the Community page, so...

A basic encounter design principle for D&D: 1. Cute fluffy things are usually dangerous. 2. Cute fluffy things that are not dangerous are usually good to eat. 3. Cute fluffy things that are not dangerous and that you eat usually belong to something dangerous.

Personally, i appreciate them, at whatever rate you post them. They're enjoyable to read, and may even prove vaguely useful sometime down the line. It's not something I think much about, so on the off chance I ever actually have to think about lawyers under more, umm, stressful circumstances...

Probably something like half-plasmmoid/half-thrikreen, because I'm lucky that way.

Thanks, all. I just started poking around and found my state's bar page. It's got a searchable database that allows filtering by city, type of legal assistance sought, credentials, and so forth. (You can even specifically search for dead lawyers, if that's your thing.) Looks like the returned...

More seriously: This seems like very helpful advice to (begin to) evaluate attorneys when you've got a list to work from. But how do you generate that list of relevant prospective lawyers to vet in the first place?

"orange threads"? edit: Ah, i bet this refers to the orange "Dungeons & Dragons" tag.

I now feel inspired to go do some crimes, just so to have a go at vetting some lawyers. Thanks, Snarf!

I always thought of "funnel" in the sense of something that directs a flow, as in "funnel the hapless newb adventurers to unexpected new careers as chunky salsa." That said, "Blood Sluice of the Gore Mages" is clearly the superior terminology, and also I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

That's fine point, actually. Between the illos and maps (and the other 300 pages of text, of course) there's plenty of wide open space for "wait and see".

Yeah, we don't even have half-a-dozen pages so far, so it's hard to gauge. And to be sure, I'm not saying it'll be grogawful! It just doesn't quite sound like the more structured gazeteer-like approach I was hoping for, so maybe not for me. But even if it's not the perfect thing for me, I'm sure...

Now having read the article more carefully and inspected at the pages presented, i think I'm leaning a bit more toward "meh". I was hoping for a guidebook or something, like "Here's a World with capsule history, major cities, sites, factions, and hooks." Something fairly heavy on the...

As someone who generally doesn't care much for D&D canon and worlds, I think that's actually kinda of interesting. Looks like it could be a decent, lightweight overview of the whole shebang, without all the mess of actually delving into the whole shebang.

Ooh, now I'm getting some ideas for a "dark patterns" warlock.
