I just don't think we're doing art any justice if we insist on decoupling the art from the artist.

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

We are five sessions into Curse of Strahd and I am really enjoying it as a first-time DM! Buuuut I have a million questions. Questions I can't run by any of the DMs I know. Because they're all players at my table 🙃

So you’re a game designer who wants people to write adventures for your system. Here’s how you facilitate that:

Still, there's something inherently violent even about dice rolls. It's like every time you cast a die, something disappears. Some alternative ending, or an entirely different world...

At an informal wake/memorial for someone on my husband's side. Martin Sheen is there. He introduces himself to us, then to my toddler. Instead of shaking his hand, my kid just picks his nose. Martin laughs and says "Well, I can see you're busy."

Las Vegas circa 1993, walking through the MGM Grand. I'm not paying attention because I'm 7 and I nearly knock Rodney Dangerfield and a very tall, very beautiful blond woman over. I have no idea who he is, but my dad is mortified.

My eight-year-old has decided the world is a simulation "because why else would people do the same 'go to work and go home and do it again' routine every day if they were free?" Related, I'm on the lookout for materials on logic and reasoning for second graders.
