Nice. Mines about 3. Would you wait until 5 for a new one?

So, damn. I was hoping for a very cool report on how we would die instantly in a fiery explosion, but it's just dumping more carbon into the atmosphere and slowly worsening climate change.

DM: "You exit the warehouse and make your way across the crowded market square. What measures do you take to avoid the suspicion of the guards?"

Paladin: "We walk like people who aren't covered in blood."

What did your group get up to last night?

I was vegan for 8 years and during that time I didn't talk to anyone about it other than to say, "I don't eat that."

I say that to say this - vegans are insufferable and a large reason why I quit the community and went back to omnivore. Even after 8 years, other vegans were still 'more vegan' and would nitpick the dumbest stuff.

"Bro, did you eat a date? That killed a bee or something. Not cool."

Shut up with that. Let me eat my damn fruit.

I was healthier though. But, to be fair, I was younger.

This is about to be some real shit about a failing (failed?) marriage. Get out now if that is not for you.

My wife and I, both in our 40s, have been together for a long time, 20+ years. About 10 years ago our daughter was born and that was pretty good. I was stupid and had an affair during that first year because I was immature and, in retrospect, wasn't able to handle the shift in my wife's attention from me to my daughter.

We worked it out. We moved to a bigger house that is paid off. My mom died and left us all some money. Then my wife was diagnosed with MS about 4 years ago and things have been on the decline.

We haven't had sex in a year and neither of us again expects to. She has been depressed and I don't know how to help her. We recently, like yesterday, determined in a mutual discussion that we no longer had a romantic relationship, but that we had a good partnership for raising our daughter and generally handling life. While it was good to get an unspoken truth out there, it hurts. I think that we both feel lonely in the aching soul sort of way. Last night, when we went to bed, for first time that I can recall, she didn't say, "I love you," and neither did I. My Prozac is working overtime, and she shuts down when I suggest mental health support for her.

So, here's the question. What now?

Yep, and good riddance.

If students do not feel respected, then they will neither give respect nor learn. You call a kid what they want to be called. Without a sense of shared community, the classroom will fail.

Additionally, there is not a religion on earth that says you can't use people's nicknames, preferred names, chosen names, or whatever. This guy can go eat a bag of Dicks.

I have been playing for about a month, and this game is amazing. There is so much content!

That's it.

This game is dope.

Cross of Auria has me playing 14 minutes in the last two weeks. However, I have not played this game in months.

Why would the playtime clock have time on it?

Shouldn't have fucked those kids.

So ... if they are people ... and they aren't used for 21 years ... can their infant form but alcohol?

"Have you considered that you may be too depressed for therapy," and, "EMDR is more for singular trauma. You have too many for this to work," are my absolute wins in therapy.

I have since retired to the medication-only league where I continue my victorious march toward death by defeating round after round of big pharma's scientists.

Witness me.

"Stray Bullet" makes it sound like the bullet got off leash. This was a reckless and irresponsible use of firearms and we should start calling it that.

Then don't let him debate. Why is this hard?

Editing my comment.

There is a connection between the two boys that has led them to a place where this seems to be acceptable behavior. It's something they share but is also fairly unique since most families aren't producing multiple potential or actual school shooters.

I am interested to see what underlying causes are identified, if any.

The guys that made Solasta are looking for some input. It's a short survey but could be helpful in shaping whatever comes next.

Hey there everyone!

I hope you've all had a good weekend - I know many of you are very likely still lost in the world of Forgotten Realms right now (at least I was), living your best life as~~ a horny bard~~ an honest adventurer.

We'll be closing our Future Game Survey at the end of the week, so if you want to give us your preferences on what our next game should have please make sure you don't miss it.

In the style of 2e dungeon poster map. a subterranean river has eroded away an entrance into a forgotten dungeon.

Different colored regions denote warring factions or changing dungeon themes.

When I ran this, I had the players fall into A 1 through a collapsing cave roof into a burrow of snakes, fight a dragon section B, encounter a colony of bat people (basically kobolds that fly) sections C, D, E, F, G, H, and then discover a small Myconid colony in section I. Section J, the river also presented random encounters, and serves as an alternate entrance and exit to this map.

Trolls have taken up residence in the caves surrounding this forgotten temple. Only when adventurers come to investigate the blocked river will they have a chance of finding something more.
