Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

It isn't like librarians are often also UX-experts.

Ideally, the librarians are not doing the UX work. Ideally.

I actually have that, one for 5E and one for Shadowdark. I'm going to be making up a low level cranberry ooze (suitable for attacking people wading through a cranberry bog) and gourd blights.

We have a lot of wild turkey's roaming here so they are often on my mind at thanksgiving

Yes, but there's a bit of a gap between, "The people who know the use case and accept the solution are not great at UX" and "Got taken to the cleaners".

And that's not even counting the possibility that they didn't get taken to the cleaners, but that there's a compromise going on that we aren't aware of.

LIke, again, for libraries, there was an app many used for distributing electronic media - epubs and audiobooks, mostly, called "OverDrive". And it was pretty good. Not that long ago, Overdrive was replaced by "Libby" from the same providers. Libby, when it shipped, was really not as good as OverDrive.

But, if you looked at some of the missing features, it seemed like they may have needed to make some changes due to rising use - that OverDrive was good, but didn't scale very well.

Given some of the attitude wild turkeys can have, making a variation that's basically an axebeak doesn't seem super off-brand.

They are thorny birds for sure:

The 5E one is basically just a giant turkey with a decent flight speed, so plenty dangerous.

The Shadowdark ones are carnivores with an appetite for eating holiday celebrants ...

Frustrating times call for more gaming…it makes everything better.

Wish people did more cooperative playing and less other stuff.

Just scored 4 new Minotaur minis…thinking about a dungeon with four cages…Minotaurs held by hobgoblins for gladiatorial combat.

If players start throwing levers, they open cages. Maybe all of them. Once loose the Minotaurs want to kill their captors and don’t distinguish players from npcs/monsters!

Would love to see if the pcs can work with the hobgoblins for mutual benefit or if it’s a free for all!

I have a foam 3D dungeon in a big table. Could be epic or could be tpk!!!

Focusing on this though is more fun than hand wringing worrying arguing, etc.

If you're headed to the supermarket for Thanksgiving supplies, don't forget the essentials -- like popcorn, pretzels, jelly beans, and enough bread for 200 slices of toast.

As a kid, I wanted those cartoon jelly beans

The Mcrib in Hong Kong is called a "prosperity burger" has actual variations. I noticed something...
