I rolled a 1 and a 7 to hit. I call that "sadvantage." #DnD #5e #rpg @SlyFlourish @RosaMoonshadow

In all seriousness, it's amazing how dependent we are on #Microsoft. This is why antitrust law exists. I'm familiar with both the legal case and the technology, so I'm not saying Microsoft should be broken up, but . . . geez.

When #Microsoft goes up tomorrow, everyone's inboxes are going to be flooded with queued messages. I don't look forward to that. – at Stone Ridge, VA

Let me translate some of the replies you've gotten: "How dare you not be well-versed in something I know well. I'm going to berate you for it because I'm an insecure prick that finally has something to feel superior about." Take it all with a grain of salt and try to laugh at it. – at Stone Ridge, VA

@Microsoft: “[W]e’ve initiated a restart of all affected servers and are monitoring health as they return to service.” English: We're turning it off and turning it back on again. #Microsoft – at Centreville, VA

Nope. It's just 1001001. – at Stone Ridge, VA

I've revised my VTT application to include a new system for balancing sides. I don't think it's perfect either but suspect it's better than CE. FSP: A Replacement for CE in FASA Star Trek RPG #StarTrek #TTRPG #RPG gsllcblog.com/2026/11/11/ssr…

Guardians of the Galaxy (especially Volume 2) was some of my favorite recent cinema, and Peacemaker was phenomenal. His Suicide Squad could have pulled that franchise from the trash bin it was in before he took over. But now? Everything he does is between absolute crap and okay.

They can't maintain momentum. It's embarrassing.

I'm in a continuing education class. One thought led to another, and here's the result: The kids today consider proper punctuation and grammar in texts and emails to be downright rude. Yet those kinds of errors are the first line in the battle against online identity theft. 🤷 – at Stone Ridge, VA

But I'm also saying that the only reasonable means you have to fight this is to give WotC exactly what they're asking for: Your alienation from the game. Don't buy their products, and even better, create competing products. It's not much, but anything else is yelling at clouds.

Oh, I get the joke. Some people have nothing better to do with their lives than to tell other people how to live theirs. These focus groups probably contain several people with no connection to the game, just like media focus groups contain people with no connection to that IP.

On Halloween, Word Genius's word of the day was syllabub. I instantly assumed it was an insult against #pedantic #language Nazis like me. No, it's a "whipped cream dessert, typically flavored with white wine or sherry." I liked my definition better.

Everyone has a right to opine, and they may lament the loss of the good ole days, but at some point you need to learn to move on. It's not like the old stuff is banned. I can (and do) play 1e, 4e, and (soon) FASA Star Trek; I can listen to Fleetwood Mac; etc. So can anyone.
