God those fuckers are expensive

Listening to people say D&D has no negative bearing on the indie creative space at large has me tweaking.

This is a creative monopoly unlike anything seen before or ever. I have a list of marketing outreach channels where 95 out of a 100 contacts exclusively cover D&D/OSR (D&D adjacent)...

I understand the fear of this, I really do but the man has started to rot. There is no way he makes it that far.

Side note- I am fine

Well my computer chair of about 15 years game up the ghost tonight.

Me - Bwahhh

Oh thank you! I am feeling a bit lost as far as how licenses work and the more I read about Creative Commons the more in the weeds I feel.

You know who I feel bad for? Artists named Al

A short movie where a neuro special guy who gets a bit distracted has a kind of rough day, but we get to see how he thinks! Yay!
