One of my fave things from #PAXUnplugged 2023 was playing Warrenguard. Very approachable, fantastic character creation, and a dreamy setting. Favorite innovation: character creation involved dialoguing with other party members with probing q&a.
The incomparable @BrianLiberge is running Warrenguard in addition to me this weekend. Here is a whole warrenguard of dragonriders about to go into battle!

Fantastic compilation!
Also consider: Coma Girl by Stephanie Bond. 6 part serial. A victim of a tragic event lies in a hospital bed, at the mercy of friends & relatives who think she can't hear them. But she SO can. https://t.co/Zvml61WjIG

@IBJIYONGI I thought it was just because I was over 40! It's good to hear that other people have the same problem. I really have a hard time driving at night because the headlights are so bright there's so much scatter from my astigmatism that oncoming traffic blocks my whole vision
@HFeliciaG My then 12yo was so proud to tell me I wasn't allowed to take away his belongings because it was considered stealing. My response: you're right. You may need to leave all your electronics at your dad's house since I'm not allowed to regulate them. He capitulated 🤣🤣
My team had a monthly newsletter since before I joined. We've all gotten pretty unmotivated to continue, convinced no one read it. Today I changed: putting metrics at the top, and ending with a call to debate if a taco is a sandwich in our slack.
@ManilanH I've always believed coffee should have its own blessing. "Glorious are you, Gd, who in Your infinite mercy and wisdom gave us this bean of resurrection. Amen selah."
