No, it’s just that the terrorists in America get pardons for their crimes, or get elected to office by other scumwads who want everyone a shade darker to suffer.

Take this ridiculous notion and shove it where it belongs.

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. β™₯️

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Good things can still happen, even if it's just at the local level.

This has been a contentious issue in on our community. A lot of my neighbors have been complaining about the potential costs. As someone who uses the library, whose family uses it though, and who runs programs there every month... this will be a huge benefit for our town.

Williston voters pass bond to expand library by slim margin The addition will double the library's current size and create a bigger parking area as well as an expanded central courtyard.

I know everything is awful right now and we all have a lot to be worried about. Today was Town Meeting Day #Vermont though, and I'm really pleased to say that my town approved a bond to double the size of our local library. www.mynbc5.com/article/will...

Emulation never stopped me from buying games - on the contrary, by being able to play the out-of-print classics "for free" it left me more money to buy new games with.

I rarely emulate anymore, but keeping that option available is GOOD for the games industry, despite what the greedy suits say.

Scarlet Hollow is a genuinely unsettling and creepy game. Highly recommend it!

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

If there’s one thing D&D players know how to do, it’s organize.

If there’s two, it’s that and reschedule.

If there’s three, it’s those things and kick ass:

I’m trying to send a bit of money each week to some of the charities supporting resistance efforts. I really wish it could be more. Thank you for all you’ve all done and continue doing.

I ran one of my self-written #DND one shots for the second time tonight and I genuinely think it might be one of the better adventures I've written. I think I might need to do something more with it than just putting the print out in a folder for another day...

I don't have every set, but the ones that create "permanent" structures typically come with clips to hold everything together.

Their customer service is really helpful, too. I reached out just recently hoping to purchase some individual pieces outside of their usual sets. They arranged a custom order and shipped it out the same day. I couldn't be more pleased.

Miniature Terrain for the gaming community Build massive worlds without breaking the bank! Get affordable, modular tabletop terrain sets (Dungeons, Castles, Caverns) for D&D, Pathfinder, and TTRPGs.

Are you #DungeonMaster looking for some nice and easily transportable terrain for #DND games on the go? I would highly recommend Dirt Cheap Dungeons. I run 5+ games out of the house a month and their stuff is by far the easiest I've found in terms of on-the-fly setup.

I'm legitimately a bit sad about #Nintendo not really doing anything to acknowledge the 40th anniversary of #TheLegendofZelda. As much as I enjoy Mario, Zelda was a much more formative experience for me from the NES era onward. I still get excited about new announcements, celebrations, etc.

I’m always amazed at hour much more tiring my one hour of kid #DnD is compared to running multi hour games for adults. I feel like I need a nap, hahaha

The Legend of Zelda turns 40 this weekend! 🎊

To celebrate, I thought it would be fun to post my entire strategy guide, along with production shots and some additional thoughts. So, whether you've seen this guide a million times or not, I hope you learn something new. MEGA 🧡
