(Wouldn't it be cool to be able to recommend adventures based on the types of work they require vs. what they do for you?)

Evhelm @evhelm.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

I think the two of you should spend some time in a future episode breaking down just what *are* the areas of published campaign design that can be toggled for different DMs. You're so right that each adventure book requires different work: what are the kinds of that work?

Comic: Types of Board Game. [Each panel has a person, a person with a ponytail, a person with shoulder-length hair, and a person with a white hat seated around a table with different board game and pieces on top.

The Congress of Vienna convenes. You are each in charge of distributing and lighting candles for the opening ball, which was held at these three locations... (4) Overcomplicated: PERSON 4: It’s a cross between *Twilight Imperium* and *Cones of Dunshhire*, but implemented entirely in category theory. Every cone is a monad, and... (5) Cooperative: PERSON 3: We’re working together to sort these decks of cards using only hand gestures. After that, we’ll silently organize my junk drawer. (6) Branded: PERSON 1: You can play as Phoebe, Chandler, Monica, Rachel, Ross, Joey, or, due to an ill-advised tie-in, Goku. (7) Party: PERSON 2: Each of the cards in your hand has a bad word on it. On the count of three, yell the... (8) Social Deduction: PERSON 3: Remember, per our *find the secret murderer* house rules from last week, discovering that a player has committed a real-life murder does *not* count.

Upper left is most eye-catching-but-still-readable-quickly to me. Upper right is very readable but less eye-catching. 3 and 4 are both too fussy for a placeholder (though I understand the love of the "OE").

It is a giant illegal plagiarism machine monetizing all of our intellectual property, & like every tech/finance grift before it, the business model is built on breaking the law & malfeasance. And the rush of university leaders & administrators to embed it in every aspect of our work is shameful.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Lower Decks has refreshed all that is good about Star Trek: the values, the joy, the hope, & above all the humor that (in most ST shows) simmers just beneath the surface! The JG officers & their adventures reminds me that even those of us who aren't flagship captains are valued in such a future.

They're a little bit "dated" now that the Clone Wars TV show has tackled a lot of the same territory, but the Republic Commando series from Karen Traviss is a great read. (Disclaimer: I haven't read either of the two titles you mentioned, so I can't tell you if these are better!)
