Watching Ponyo with my children gave me a whole new appreciation for it. Guessing Only Yesterday is for a little older audience?

I see roads of white
White stop signs too
They seem to say,
Go home you fool

And I think to myself
Should have got winter tires

Getting better :D

Maybe divide it into sections with horizontal lines? Something to help me pick out the different sections at a glance, especially as the blocks get longer.

Early on I likened Draw Steel to Final Fantasy Tactics, whereas a lot of TTRPGs hew closer to mainline Final Fantasy.

Love mechanics that keep players invested even when it's not their turn.

Red-hued stone walls rise from a paved courtyard, all accented with rich red painted wooden supports.

Coch Castle is gorgeous! I love dipping into the real history of our fantasy inspirations, and this view of the courtyard captured me immediately. Great episode by Shadiversity as well.

Nailed it!

Except for the "increased" part, they got that backwards.

Now they're saying school photos can be, or are being, used to train face recognition machine models.

There is no good in any of this.

Have you ever run a bottle episode, or maybe even a whole campaign, using a time travel or flashback element that requires the players to switch character sheets as they go back and forth?

Handing over a lower or higher level version of the current characters sounds fun for a session.

So we might have room for two (2) freelance articles in January at @certifiedforgot.bsky.social, and if that goes well, we'll discuss what February could look like internally. Going to leave this up for just a little bit and see what happens. certifiedforgotten.com/pitch-certif...

Gotta listen to the body. Don't have to like it, but it's worse if you ignore it. Chronic disease lessons, woo.
