My Star Wars-obsessed seven-year-old is "helping" to set up my D&D session.
A black and white dungeon map is spread out on a brown, leather-covered dining room table next to a DM screen and books. The map has colorful construction paper covering unrevealed rooms.

All around are Star Wars books, pencils, and LEGO Star Wars minifigs.

What's the morality scaling of guilt-tripping a player into not bailing on D&D by feigning ignorance about him wanting to watch the Yankees playoff game instead of playing? 😇😈
Screenshot of a text that reads "Looking forward to tomorrow, got new minis painted, custom enemies, fun stuff! I would say you guys are really coming to the climax of the first arc and things can really change based on the next session or two.

Aim for 4:00, play video games to appease [my son], have pizza, then delve back into the dungeon.

I know we just played two weeks ago but here's the recap from then"

The text has a heart reaction.

What the hell?! I just opened PoGo for the first time in about five hours and apparently the new in-game auto-catcher found three shiny Pokémon! (Nothing new and all terrible IVs, but a nice surprise!)

Here are all of the props I 3D-printed, primed, and painted for tonight's D&D session as my players explore a dungeon that can lead them into the Underdark in pursuit of the disguised drow Lady Swilda Borthin. I'm proud of the results of my first big painting job!

While the face is a little rough, overall I'm pretty happy with how my first miniature painting job came out. I picked the slightly-bent mini as a test in case I royally botched it, but I think it's passable. He's painted in the colors of the Queensguard so I could possibly use him in my campaign.

Still out of power. The tree took out a utility pole so I have a feeling it'll be a few days. Thankfully no one was hurt and, aside from ripping up the ground, no real damage to our property. We're at my in-laws now since they have power and live on the other side of town.
