“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
This video series on Blades in the Dark is really fun. @Zaktact breaks everything down into easily-digestible and charming videos, covering aspects of the lore, setting, and style of the game. I'm really looking forward to watching more.

4 Tips for Roleplaying:
1. Use Reaction Rolls every time. Every NPC is a potential ally or foe.
2. Have a small list of languages to choose from. Everyone speaks 1 of *these* 5 languages.
3. Even non-living things can talk. Doors, campfires, etc.
4. Use recurring NPCs.

I keep thinking of the double-edged sword of partial success.
On one hand, they do help move the story forward.
On the other hand, coming up with complications every time can be taxing.
That got me thinking: what if we reversed the way we look at partial success?

wow this person seems to be having a ton of fun playing Dungeons & Dragons, i would love to get ahold of whatever book they've got in their hands that's so much fun (presumably its Dungeons & Dragons)
Sometimes we don’t try because we want to avoid failure, or embarrassment, or some other negative feeling. But not trying doesn’t avoid failure, it guarantees it. You never know how good things could get if you give it a real shot, no matter how scary it may seem ✨
In 1948, a boy stared at a TV screen for the very first time.
Curious, I looked up the inventor of the electronic television and learned that it was an American named Philo Farnsworth.
Interestingly, he was completely disappointed by his own invention because he had hoped it would be exclusively used for education rather than entertainment. However, he changed his mind when he watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon on the very device he had invented, confiding in his wife that "this has made it all worthwhile."
Ironically, his only televised appearance was on a game show called "I've Got A Secret" in 1957. When asked about what he was currently working on, Farnsworth discussed the potential to one day create a display-only (flat-screen) type of television. He also talked about increasing bandwidth, improving cameras, creating memory files, and harnessing the power of nuclear fusion.
All very impressive for a man who grew up in a small log cabin built by his father in Beaver, Utah.
100 years ago tonight, in the small town where we live, thousands of klan members came to march through the Irish catholic neighborhood. To get there they had to funnel over this bridge. When they got there it had been blocked by a truck. Which should have been a warning.
