Hi there! It's your friendly, local, multi-billion dollar, multi-national company! Gee,I know you're about to spend an exorbitant amount of money on our gasoline or groceries, but won't you please round up for charity? You see, we'd do it, but our shareholders really prefer when you do. Thanks!

I generally liked the first one. They did a great job with Riddles in the Dark and the dwarves singing. The other two I mostly blocked out because... yeah

When I'm old and gray, a lifetime of memories behind me, loves gained and lost, family and friends passed on, lived experiences and world-changing events, I will still be making Homestar Runner references that no one else remembers.

They pulled off a genius move to restart a magic minecart and use it to kill a giant snake! I rolled 8d8 damage for 43 and the snake had 42 hit points left. It was fantastic.

While one player completely bailed to watch the Yankees, we still had a fantastic session with my two other players. They fully completed this dungeon, finding all five crystals to open the door that will lead them further into the Underdark chasing after a drow.

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.

Also a fox stuffy.

I'm with you. There are few things I care less about than the NBA. I'll watch college basketball only if I'm doing a bracket but have zero interest in professional. As for this song, I only know it exists because of bsky posts. Turns out it's not on my 2007 iPod Classic in my car.

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.

Below the text are two attached screenshots of last session's recap

My druid just had his first conversation with this armor after getting it gifted to him by a local druid circle the party assisted. He doesn't know what the armor wants or where it's from, just that it speaks to him in Draconic and has not had a wearer capable of understanding it in a long time.

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!)
Cropped screenshot from Pokémon Go showing recently caught Pokémon. The top three are all shiny: Yungoos, Teddiursa, and Mareep.

I'm grading quizzes and in one problem students needed to find and correct an error in a solved equation. One student's answer said "the person who did the error didn't right the equation wright." It's almost impressive to mess up homophones that badly twice in the same sentence.

I played LoZ: Twilight Princess back when it was released. I beat it, enjoyed it, but then basically forgot everything about it. I decided that I want to replay it before the OoT remake gets released and I'm now a few hours into the game. It really is a pretty looking game and I'm liking it again!

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!
