I promised folks if it came to this, I'd share the news and link far and wide.
My GoFundMe, for funds to fight cancer.
Every little bit helps, as does sharing this link anywhere you feel is appropriate, and liking, sharing, and replying to this post.

COMMENTS DON'T MATTER

Here we go: Loper Bright. Gorsuch and Thomas try to kill Chevron deference now.

Can we get 500 retweets on this? This is one hell of an ad from the Democrat running for US Senate in North Dakota. The question is whether people will watch it and share it.

Owen K.C. Stephens has cancer, and months of chemo ahead of him. Medical bills have continued to pile up. The Open RPG Games industry has come together to create a mega-bundle to help. 15 Publishers, more than 350 pdfs, worth more than $1,000, for $39.95.

@zoocephalic I've had a chance to look at it, and the first encounter is IMO more about letting the PCs know that "they are not in Kansas anymore", that things are different in Razmiran and that they can't just go charging in guns blazing. Different cultures have different morals. YMMV

[Alex Greenshields @BrandingOpp]

@zoocephalic You'll have to give me a little to reread the scenario. Haven't looked at it in years, and am traveling home. Will respond later today or tomorrow

[Alex Greenshields @BrandingOpp]

@mattcolville I mean, it's all subjective, but I would say Van Halen, RATM, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

@Owen_Stephens Inhuman. This is so beyond...

@SabineV5 @DB_Bahn Leider seit 2021 "Fugging" genannt. Als gebürtiger Österreicher bin ich nicht stolz darauf, verstehe es aber das die Gemeinde es mit den blöden Touristen genug gehabt hat

[Alex Greenshields @BrandingOpp]

@SabineV5 @DB_Bahn Hab gar nicht gewusst das fucking jetzt auch ein deutsches Wort ist. Weiterbildung! 👍

Beautiful! The isometric maps from the DSG sparked the imagination of my barely-teenaged self like few other things.

It took me 33 years from buying the Dungeoneer's Survival Guide to finally using the perspective map templates found in the back of the book.

And now I'm re-releasing it for anyone to use.

Hey @KingofVrock , I'm finally updating the @pathfinderwiki on Eto to reflect what you wrote in PFS #5-12 A Bitter Bargain. Only took me 8+ years! Check it out, although it's still a WIP: https://t.co/iHsKAd5VGp

[Alex Greenshields @BrandingOpp]

@valleyboyspod @DaveWeasel Well, except for not being funny.

[Alex Greenshields @BrandingOpp]

Recently went through old issues of Dragon Magazine to see how many gaming stores advertised there are still in business. It was sad to find that almost all of them had gone out of business, even ones that had advertised as recently as 15 years ago.

@mikeblackbourn @doctorow @MiguelMontevist @RlyehSleeper @ladyattis Nice. There's an actual D&D 3E adventure called "Kill Bargle" from issue #150 of Dungeon Magazine which in an homage/sequel to that first Red Box story.

[Alex Greenshields @BrandingOpp]

@Owen_Stephens First I read and ran combats as a solo game? D&D Red Box. First I played with others? Probably AD&D, 1st Ed.

[Alex Greenshields @BrandingOpp]

@rrookstudio I would recommend finding a local insurance broker and have them do a search for you. Mine was able to get me quotes I could not find myself. Alternatively, use Zipcar, that's what I did when I lived in NYC and needed a car for the day.

[Alex Greenshields @BrandingOpp]

@jasoncordova6 That's actually an unfair matchup IMO because AWiL is a much better movie. How about Fright Night (1985) vs. The Burbs?

[Alex Greenshields @BrandingOpp]

@jasoncordova6 Fright Night (1985) or American Werewolf in London?
