If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you
Congrats Flik!
Holy fucking shit
When Nerdtacular tickets go on sale but daycare’s cleaned out your bank account
My previous attempts went poorly for that reason, so we made sure to pick up proper rice this time!
We made sushi tonight!
Right?!? If we’re including Disney & Pixar, there’s at least a dozen movies I’ve seen that many times because of the boys.
Some screenshots of my cottage in Warcraft. I’ll be discussing my experiences with the housing system on my next podcast episode!
Afterschool D&D started up, and the class distribution is quite interesting! (They picked Daggerheart campaigns)
Group 1 is doing Motherboard: artificer, barbarian, druid, fighter, 2 psions, sorcerer, and 2 warlocks
Group 2 is doing Beast Feast: 2 paladins, a psion, ranger, rogue, and warlock
Had a random thought that there’s a timeline where the Horde got forest trolls and Zul’jin as a faction in Burning Crusade instead of blood elves and the Alliance got high elves and Vareesa instead of draenei. Would’ve dramatically changed the overall story to more classic conflicts. #Warcraft

Moving the podcast to Friday nights due to Saturday morning soccer, so tune in tonight!
I’m pretty sure we’ve talked about that column too!
My Alma mater keeps asking for donations to the alumni fund as if I didn’t just pick up a second job to afford daycare.

If Silksong’s so great, does it have fishing? Hmm? HMM?
Finally, streamlining equipment (using things like adventurer’s packs as it’s own item) so it’s easier for them to manage.
For casters, I’m going to give them a lot fewer spells to choose and instead automatically give them a suite of utility spells that will function as passive class features (detect magic, identify, etc) (part 3)
To start, I’m just going to deal with modifiers and not full ability scores. They won’t need them. Additionally, I’m going to use the “Background Proficiency” variant from the 2014 DMG (as a nod to experiences) (part 2)
Going to be running afterschool D&D again this year, but I’m taking a lot of inspiration from Daggerheart to help simplify/streamline things (part 1)
The game was clearly a love letter to the history of Donkey Kong in the franchise’s various forms.
Just finished the main story for DK Bananza today. 10/10, and the final boss sequence was the most fun I’ve had in a while as far as boss fights go.
It’s so great that I have to ration my immunosuppressants because Blue across Blue Shield can’t do basic fucking math. Every single fucking time I have to refill my meds.
Yeah it was the followbots and scammers one.
Hey Scott as an FYI you somehow ended up on a “scammers and spammers” blocklist - I didn’t even notice until I went looking for Nerdtacular info and couldn’t find you!
