@CityofWichita The Chief mentioned that, in the case of shoplifting at least, the system’s limited ability to handle cases — not enough prosecutors and public defenders, etc. Can the panel provide more detail? How much is our ability to handle other crime limited by these related shortages?

[JohnPJones @radiatinggnome]

@CityofWichita Can you discuss department strategy and priorities related to new technology? Policy work is clearly more and more dependent upon expensive tech that isn’t free: how do you make tough choices between technology and staffing or other priorities?

[JohnPJones @radiatinggnome]

@CityofWichita You’ve discussed a bit how financial projections show budgets will impact the city and the WPD budget — can you discuss how projections of demographic shifts in the city will change policing needs in the city?

@dmdavidblog Maybe it’s that I wasn’t there blathering…..

@d20play @shawnmerwin @dmdavidblog It was great to get to talk to you and pick your brain. I’m already reading the Grim Hollow books…….

[DwarvenDM @DwarvenDM]

Had a blast with @d20play, @dmdavidblog, and @radiatinggnome this morning. As usual, my #Dragonlance tourettes kicked in and I talked way too much. Thanks again for the invite, fellows!

[DM Fathom @DmFathom]

#AT22 loving the keynote, but the audio during the music and video performance was simply bruising. I hope it can be turned down a bit.

[JohnPJones @radiatinggnome]

@dmdavidblog I like the Gumshoe-style approach, which looks a lot like passive perception, but with extra information based on the other skills the characters are proficient in. So often the plot needs the characters to have info, and not getting it is frustrating

[Blades In The Dark @bladesinthedark]

It's official: THE DAGGER ISLES, a supplement for Blades in the Dark, is in the works! Details in the video and thread below.

@d20play @DMsWorkshop @JeremyECrawford It would be a house rule, not RAW, but at my table it would depend upon whether I felt like the ability was meant to be spell-like or a sort of inherent ability for the creature. Playing with Giffyglyph-made monsters I need to make this distinction a lot.

@dmdavidblog I use all kinds of solutions, but on the far end of affordable and flexible are the Disposable Heroes from Precis Intermedia Games https://t.co/nD2UhlQqgH Order some bases, buy the digital sets and print what you need. This is exceptionally useful for non-fantasy games.

Exciting things to come for @WichitaState and their brand new Blackboard experience. Learn more: https://t.co/sLiybg2d8i #LetsAdvanceLearning

@darren_defrain Congrats!!

@dmdavidblog IMO most builds that overpower one aspect of the game are only a problem in games that disproportionately favor that type of play. And high AC characters tend to be weak in other ways — a balance of challenges makes these builds less of a problem.
