100%, "too much" is a construct of capitalism; there is never too much of anything created from a place of passion and enthusiasm.

51 answers to "What can I do with the immovable rod?" β€” Revivify Games Is the immovable rod the perfect tool to teach players how to do OSR-style puzzle solving? I think so. Plus a list of 51 uses for it that I rattled off the top of my head.

I had a first-time player join late into my mid-level Shadowdark campaign this past week. Not only has he never played Shadowdark, but he has never played a TTRPG, so I started him with an immovable rod.

Sven Ghouli's Crypt by Revivify Games A level 1 or 2 puzzle dungeon for Shadowdark

I made something for the upcoming Puzzle Dungeon Jam(itch.io/jam/puzzle-d...), but it would also make a great Halloween session, so I thought I would release it a little early!

This one's free for now, so grab it!

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

We just broke the $900K markβ€”meaning the Cypher campaign is 900% FUNDED!

Can we get to 1000% funded? $1M is a LOT, but we're already so close! With every pledge, share, retweet, and like, we inch closer and closer to that magic number...

I've just finished listening; thanks so much for giving the adventure a read and for the thoughtful review. I'm thrilled you all would even consider my work worthy of review. Also, I kind of anticipated Yochai's take; his purchase sent a shiver down my spine ;).
