The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

I wouldn't call myself someone intimately connected to the emotional aspect of spirituality. So when my D&D player expresses interest to take part in a ritual mentioned off-handedly, I find myself in a small mad scramble. Totally not a people-pleasing DM. Nope! *googles rites*

Have you ever run a murder mystery in your campaign? How did it turn out? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme
A three-panel meme contrasting different character types solving murders:
  
- Top panel: 'Rogues solving murders:' shows cartoon detectives with magnifying glasses.

- Middle panel: 'Clerics solving murders:' shows a fantasy cleric casting a spell with a speech bubble: 'Welcome back! Who killed ya?'

- Bottom panel: My players solving murders: shows Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars saying, 'Well, of course I know him. He's me.'

I'm presently Heartless. Not because I'm an unfeeling wench, but because I left it in Canada before I for 'home'. I have no idea if that'll make life easier or more difficult but at least I know where my heart is now is safe.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, as a child. Off panel, someone says to her, “Enjoy your youth!”
The second panel shows child Sarah again, now frowning. The person off panel continues, saying “After you’re 30 you’ll be old and your life will basically be over.”
Before the last two panels there is text that reads “LIFE AFTER I TURNED 30.”
The third panel shows adult Sarah opening a door.
The fourth panel shows the door opens to a beautiful field with flowers, a rainbow, and a pond. Sarah says “Wait what.”

Mostly because I get bored reading description. If it's relevant to the plot, it's fine, otherwise get on with it. Note this is strictly a personal thing. Some people love description and I'm glad there are writers out there who will give them that. It's just not my thing.
