Hey dads my age who have sons in college: do anything you can to keep them from joining a social frat. Make it clear that the shit that goes on there is unacceptable. Don’t fall for the propaganda.

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

Jack Smith is testifying before the Senate this morning, and a GOP Senator just grilled him about being at an Atlanta Hawks game in ATL, and accused him of perjury bc he denied this was the case. Turns out, it was an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland. These are the most unserious people ever.

Ukrainian board game studio Boardova has broken into US hobby distribution, four years after its launch by two volunteers who met while supporting refugees and Ukraine’s army in the wake of Russia’s invasion: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20... (Hat tip @wargamer.com for excellent background info)

Three wooden board game meeples in purple, green and red, on a series of nine hexagonal tiles with illustrations of various terrain types, such as mountains and a river. The purple and red meeples resemble humans, while the much larger green meeple is a strange-looking humanoid with horns. Aridnyk board game from Ukrainian publisher Boardova.

Two cards, one being showing the word Directive and lots of instructional writing underneath, the other in a deep red/brown with Directive and Ministry of Truth visible in white writing. Cards from the board game 1984: Unperson from Ukrainian publisher Boardova.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

A 1983 ad for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Treasure of Tarmin, a dungeon crawling RPG for the Intellivision by APh Technological Consulting The text warned players that "These dungeons are going to give you the creeps. Getting rid of them is your problem."

Treasure of Tarmin was a dungeon crawler for the Intellivision, a console in the early 80s. It featured quite a few, relatively sophisticated features such as an inventory, randomly generated dungeons with multiple floors, and real-time combat.

The ad notes that "This new Intellivision video game has 4539 tunnels, 256 dungeons, 1 hidden treasure and no room for error."

I will say this until my last days: MTG Blue players on arena who only run counter spells but have ZERO focus to pay attention to the game are basically the absolute worst people to play against. Even worse if that is their play strategy. It's why so many people auto scoop to your dumb ass decks.

"For me, the most interesting chapters are the products that I either owned or the modules my characters played through." I had hoped this would be the case (but of course Designers & Dragons Origins should be a great intro for anyone who's never seen all the classic 70s + 80s D&D material too!).
