Terrible silver lining for me: in my opinion, 2020 is going to be the most important election ever. Someone always says that, but 2020 is going to determine how redistricting is done after the census. All those gerrymandered districts have to be fixed. So, Hillary was going to be hounded for 4 years and get very…

This seems like a good place to say: Congrats to Germain getting a big ol’ blurb in the TV spots for this movie. I know that review got me all-in to go see it.

Good news - from what I found in 5 minutes of google, the horse died of natural causes many years later.

Dammit, I can’t handle Artax today.

Oh yeah, I would definitely do so, but hopefully that’s the first and last time for me. I thought about calling it in still, since how many baby blue ‘89-ish Cutlass Sierras were there within 500 miles of me at that time?

Have you guys noticed an uptick in the usage of the Wayne’s World “...NOT!” construction lately? It’s kind of confusing to me, since I thought that was cool for like 4 months in 1991. 25 years later, is it really old people who never stopped using it and just discovered the internet?

Man, I missed this one, too!

I’m fairly sure my super white family from the northern midwest has only a passing notion of what collard greens are, just as a counterpoint. You’re mostly right, nonetheless.

Oh man, this movie. Perfection. My deep and abiding love for Claire Danes began 20 years ago today. No matter how insufferable Leo gets these days, he’s got a pass from me because of this film.

I have a Goliath PC in Storm King’s Thunder. We’ve just started, but there’s going to be a lot of negative reactions.

It is currently dangerous, if you go to the right spots. Head to the Tenderloin and check out the squalor. Stroll out to the Mission Street BART stops at midnight and work on your personal definition of ‘wary’.

Hey, I’m nice! Just this week I let the party long rest without an encounter.

It’s really fun if you like the extreme sandbox. It’s got no real story but what you make yourself, and there’s plenty to make. The good news is that the fun is there to be had:

Dammit, these are supposed to be *Ghost Stories*! I should be able to have a little shiver and then rationalize that ghosts don’t exist and we’re all just dirt when we die. I do not approve of all these real life scary dude invasion stories! ESCAPISM OVER REALITY!

The first time I touched a boob was in a car just like this. Also, I can tell you that the speedo needle will disappear behind the dash if you get going fast enough. Ah, to be 16 again.

Dear god no, a 13 year old will happily never clean one of those, until you’re taking them to the ER for some sort of dick fungus.

I tried my hand at a type of campaign design called 5x5. You have 5 major plots with 5 major events, and that fills out a long campaign. I threw my players in, with rumors about each of the 5 things, and a bunch of mixed encounters. I told them that I was ready for anything they wanted to do, just pick a direction and…

There are two ways to go - The first chapter of Storm King is pretty easy, but it moves quickly until you blast into the main story. The Starter Set is very easy to run, takes its time, and meshes 100% with the second chapter of Storm King... but costs you more money on top of the Storm King book. Both are quite good.

This is exactly how to explain Benghazi to people, in the mythical scenario where you could have a chance of changing a person’s mind.

My Californian gf does, for the record. It’s very confusing.
