Dylan Horrocks @dylanhorrocks.bsky.social · 16/09/2026What baffles me is that some *can* do more reasonable shipping to NZ while others are 2x or 3x the price. Is it a question of scale? Or are some just using better services? 110

Dylan Horrocks @dylanhorrocks.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The difference is that academics like Cleves write as part of a salaried position, whereas cartoonists have no such financial security and rely on those minimal royalties for their income. I've been in both positions and they simply don't compare. 0110
Dylan Horrocks @dylanhorrocks.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Cleves is a professor of history at a Canadian university (and has been for 17 years). Walden is a freelance cartoonist in the US. The difference between those two positions, in income and financial security, is *enormous*. I can't help but wonder if Cleves even realises that. 1941

Dylan Horrocks @dylanhorrocks.bsky.social · 05/08/2026If you *do* start with D&D (& I get it, that's the RPG most students will already know of), one option is to open with an account of the *origins* of D&D: the Braunsteins that led to Blackmoor. Because those games were wildly experimental & could have developed on a very different path. 110

Dylan Horrocks @dylanhorrocks.bsky.social · 12/07/2026To be honest, I don't have an opinion on that. A violent fight involves plenty of chance and luck, which can often have as much influence as skill. And in this case, it was complicated: bc of the drug, but also they were both working through some emotions (since fighting was Cass's 1st language). 310
