Always worth it, but the reduction is spirit crushing.

Just thinking about the great time I had at #Norwescon this year, and the matching badges I made for @tkingfisher.com and @nameshiv.bsky.social to commemorate their tireless service in the Discourse Mines.

A black acrylic name badge with white engraving. It reads, "Failure to Get the Joke Is NOT a Protected Class"

I loved the thread that played out over the years with the story of the Fallen Angel kind of sketched in reverse. Hard to argue that Magali Villeneuve is a bad alternative to Anson Maddocks for Reaper.

Few things are as fun to a combat wombat like me as swapping equipment around after blocks are declared, so how about some instant speed ETB recursion?

A friend used to run this in the 99 to 'encourage' those who didn't want to cast spells anymore.

Omen Machine

Like the FFIV summons, the name "Tana" but the summon message "Triumph of the Hordes" as a flood of little poison saproling sprites charge the enemies.
