Ah, I see your earlier post now.

Oh, did something just come out? I thought this was Known. Like "water is wet" kind of known.

I met him before his stroke and he seemed a different person. This is not an excuse, but I think it may explain this particular question.

Housemate and I laugh while reading your column all the time! (also I'm not sure making people learn is easy)

Did the unicorn deserve it? Or do I need to start saying "unicorn punchers" instead of "murder hobos"?

For eating the PCs or for the PCs to adopt?

That's an option. I prefer when they get just enough time between mimics to relax; that way they get all comfy in the bed before it eats them.

This tickles me. I hope you're enjoying it!

Define "broken".

Cryptic clue!

Indeed. Sad, but it doesn't work since I was wrong about the concept. Thanks for giving it a moment of appreciation anyway :).

K. I had in my head it was a navy thing, but apparently only sort of and it's just used broadly now, so...yeah. Thanks!

What I love about cryptics is one can discover the existence of a rodent called a coypu without knowing that answer ahead of time. You can with regular crosswords too if you don't get Naticked (h/t @rexparker.bsky.social ) but I find the cryptic way more satisfying.

Definitely nowhere near beandad! But if you want kid to ask for food directly, maybe, "Hey, could you ask for what you want directly, please?" would be more...direct.

It's not mean. It's not communication of your stated goal, but it's not mean.

I absolutely agree with @superferret.bsky.social . If you want to teach that lesson, go for it. But just making it a joke does not communicate a lesson at all.

Depends on what you need her to be good at.

Congratulations on being nearby during the 8.2 minutes a nectarine was ripe!

Where do people go for D&D art? I need an unusual battlemap drawn. #TTRPG #TTRPGart

Rust monster. What's the rush? ;)

Only DMs truly know the joy of when the party is trying to figure out how to carry the powerful, dangerous, scary staff they're supposed to destroy and one character slips and calls it "my staff."
