Today I realized that I’ve got a better chance of seeing the Epstein files than I do getting a straight answer outta my kid.

🤣🤣 love it!

At a festival today and there have been at least 30 kids under 12 walking around with phones. On rides while on their phone. Eating and on their phone. We’re doomed.

If “arise, Rodimus Prime” doesn’t do it for you, you’re dead inside.

I have all the Constructicons in my GameStop cart. I’m trying REALLY hard to be smart.

I have so many of the Studio Series in various carts. It’s so tempting to pull the trigger

I haven’t gotten a Transformer since I was a little kid. I think I started something bad though.

I think about what he might be like years from now but then stop because I’m barely ready for him to be 5.

We watched a little of the G1 series here and there. Not much though. He’s not yet 5 so I don’t expect much from him. 😉

Optimus dying registered with him only in the sense of it was a good guy that died. He’s a pretty empathetic kid and was sad but I think if he had the connection the rest of us did, it might have hit him hard.

I can’t tell you why I slept on seeing them. Such a dumb move on my part. Recently before he passed or a long time before?

Why, yes! I WILL go see Rush in June. Always regretted not being able to see them with Neil. Been following Anika for a long while and I’m excited for what’s coming!

The new CR campaign.

Welp, here we are only a few days after episode one and the toxic AF critters are out with their pitchforks saying anyone who doesn’t like a certain cast member is just racist. I thought Star Wars fans were bad.

And I will make one to reflect so!

Definitely adding these to my shop. I have a d12 too!

I guess I shouldn’t be at all surprised.

I just learned about a UFC fight at the White House.

Aside from an atrocious joke, what in the absolute fuck is this timeline?!

I would like out of this timeline please. Kthxbai.

Tuesdays are early school dismissals for the boy. Shot down to Disneyland and it’s been… and adventure 😆 dunno what his deal is but we’re bordering on ‘this was a mistake!’

In any event, he and I are about to get our spines misaligned on Matterhorn. I can’t wait! Been 9 years since I’ve been on it!

Also, Doom Points from Tales of the Valiant are a fun way to add some use-any-time abilities to monsters that are kinda like legendary actions/reactions but can be less potent... or more 😁 With this new initiative, I can use them on the players turn to take an action or anything really.

While I've only run it this way with 2 games so far, it was easy to tell that almost immediately after they truly got the concept, they started strategizing with how to combo up their turns. It made it fun for me to watch this new revelation so I'm excited to see how it evolves.

Here's the post: www.reddit.com/r/DMAcademy/...

It now just allows players to work with each other. One can take an action while another takes a bonus action while another is moving etc. The collaboration definitely keeps everyone engaged and alert much easier. Now, my monsters can do the same 😁

Yea, the waiting is always what gets my players. We typically play at night so when combat hits and it's not someone's turn, I can see sleepiness maybe creeping in. Everyone tries, I'll give them that. In all fairness, what I wound up doing doesn't really change things THAT much.

Forgot about this one-Thursday was favorite band t-shirt day at the boy's school. He didn't have any so I asked him what band he wants on his new t-shirt. He gave me an "uhmmm" for a few seconds and then shouted Iron Maiden. I pulled up a bunch and he excitedly picked this one. He's a good egg 😉

Came across a Reddit post about using group initiative. Thought I'd try it. Used it in one campaign's game 2 weeks ago and then another campaign's game last night. Both proved it to be massively successful. All players were visibly more engaged and on their toes. Will do more tests...

I’m astounded at the amount of people who are posting pictures of him, calling him shit like the voice of reason and a good man. A good man would never say a fraction of the shit that this guy spewed. You celebrate and mourn this guy? Get fucked.

Few people deserve to meet their end like yesterday and I’m not celebrating it but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna mourn someone who was so anti basic human rights and outwardly advocated for pew pew deaths calling them necessary just to protect 2a rights.
