By the same token, if you die on a life-bearing world, you might not decay the same amount as you would on earth…depending on the means of your demise.

A gas station & convenience store near me got demolished and reconstructed in 2024-25. It has been open again for the past 8 months, but they recently rearranged the store. Sight lines are cleaner, traffic flow is better. And now it’s VERY clear that the “Maple” in their name is actually a...

In our case, it was a complete non-issue, no GMs pulling rank required. Seriously. None of the people who ran campaigns even bothered checking character sheets…in ANY system. Which isn’t to say that the GMs didn’t exert controls. Several of them had campaign rules excluding certain races...

Amplifying the above: Go into any craft or hardware store and you will find any number of organizing storage systems of varying sizes and prices that can accommodate minis and other hobby goods. Beyond that, you’ll also find some stuff in stores like Target or The Container Store.

I have seen many people posting about stuff like this and I have to wonder if this was more prevalent in groups that were new or had a lot of participation churn & membership fluctuations. Because the group I was in for 20+ years- covering the entire publication history of 3Ed & 3.5Ed- simply...

I had a homebrew race based on fireflies. I started with Thri-Kreen as a base, and made them size S, added bioluminescent communication and other stuff.

The Apple Watch- and probably some of the others as well- can call 911 by itself if it’s being worn and the wearer becomes nonresponsive after a fall or car wreck.

My Dad made 80 last Sunday; Mom will hit 80 in a couple weeks. They’re both pretty healthy overall, but Mom has injuries that have hampered her stamina, mobility and stability. I live with them- it cuts costs & concerns for all involved. A few years ago, we started talking seriously about...

Like others have suggested, I’ve got a myriad of characters who haven’t yet seen play. So, while it’s disappointing for me that a campaign story arc doesn’t get completed, I welcome the opportunity to play fresh PCs. That said, I have recycled some character concepts/designs for reuse in other...

3.5Ed- and its 3.X progeny- quickly became and remain my favorite iteration of D&D. The enormous variety of character options was key to that. Before it, I’d played D&D since 1977-78, in multiple cities in CO, KS and TX, and with more groups than I can remember. I won’t exaggerate and say I...

That was pretty cool!

I brought the cobbler 2 pairs of boots for stretching: 1) Beckett Simonon tan balmorals 2) J. Fitzpatrick black Columbia Redux Both are on the dressy side. It was the same problem for each pair: they were slightly too tight where the lower part of the boot transitions to the shaft, no matter...

The boots I took to the cobbler for a stretch feel MUCH better now, so that’s a win. Still, while I like their products in general, I don’t think I’ll be buying any more boots from either company.

Four classes I loved: Beginning Life Drawing Biblical Themes in Literature Microeconomics Gemology

“I've got my life to live And all my love to give and I will survive I, I, I will survive!”

That list has the same cadence as “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”.🧐

Small Gods was my first Discworld novel, but I can’t call it my favorite. Because, even though I have enjoyed some more than others, I can’t call ANY my favorite.

At least, not at the awarded MPA rating.

Looks kind of like Judgement Night* turned inside out. That could be good. Very good. * which was kinda like The Warriors** ** which itself was a modern take on Xenophon’s Anabasis

Toasted sourdough, ham, Kaukana spreadable port wine cheese and mayo. I like wine cheeses, and I’ve tried some on sandwiches before. Results have been mixed- Merlot Bellevitano has been the best so far. I’ve been eating Kaukana on crackers decades, and thought I’d give it a shot...
