Ever been at a bar when a guy walks in and the bartender immediately drops everything to shout,”Hey! You! Get outta here!”? That’s what I think about every time I see a picture of Ken Paxton.

I am thrilled and proud beyond measure to support the amazing workers who create and design the games I and my loved ones have spent a lifetime playing. I implore everybody to sign the petition and signal boost the campaign as far and wide as we can!

United Wizards of the Coast - CWA@uwotc-official.bsky.social · 5d ago

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

The guy that occasionally walks around my neighborhood playing saxophone looks EXACTLY like the type of guy who would walk around a neighborhood playing saxophone.

Ran a #DnD game tonight and had mounts (horses) in dangerous, non-combat situations. A horse got hurt crossing a river, and I came up with a new rule: the mount’s first injury isn’t HP damage, but means it can’t support a rider. Narratively added a complication without damaging a PC’s animal friend.

I mostly run D&D quests that can be completed in a single session. The two basic guidelines I stick to are very boring 😅 1) Budget roughly 45 minutes for every major interaction (Combat, Investigation, Negotiation, etc) 2) Standard story pacing (Rising action, Climax, Resolution)

I play in Jess’s #DnD games and he plays in mine. We have very different styles! My structure (3-4 hour game): 1) Intro/setup 2) 3-4 beat loop of a mix of social, exploration and/or minor combat (30 min each) based on what the table’s responding to. 3) Climactic battle (1 hour) 4) Denouement

During the first year of the pandemic a restaurant in the neighborhood decided to paint a mural on their wall. Anyway, this is as far as they got.

Somebody forgot to check whether they owned the domain name ditchmitchgreen.com before they put it on a billboard 😈

Willamette Week@wweek.com · 3w ago

The money behind that billboard can be traced in part to the Portland Metro Chamber, the city’s chamber of commerce—and the message shows how eager the city’s business lobby is to unseat Councilor Mitch Green. www.wweek.com/news/city/20...

Here is my full statement on the tweets I made in 2020 regarding the police. The PPA, PPB, Mayor and several of my colleagues have all made statements following that Oregonian piece. The public deserves to know what I think about that and stand for - then and now.

This is a pretty funny empty record sleeve to come across on the sidewalk

This business’s slogan always cracks me up. “SALAD IS A MEAL”. Like, yes, absolutely it can be, but once you put it into actual words you sound like some sort of cultist or maniac. “SALAD IS A MEAL. SALAD IS A MEAL. SALAD IS A MEAL.”

I saw a post earlier saying I need to integrate AI into my workflow as an artist or I'll be left behind. Sure I've seen dozens of posts like this before, but I'm really seriously thinking about it now and I am at a total loss as to what it would possibly do to improve my work.

I feel like the people that say that AI is conscious are the same people that say that animals can't feel pain.

Personal Safety Attendant at a hospital. I sat with (usually heavily sedated) patients overnight to make sure they didn’t harm themselves: pull out stomach tubes, try to get out of bed while having their rib cage held together by staples, etc.

Happy labor day (USA). What's one of the oddest paid job you've had? Mine was probably as a reader for a medical professor at Rutgers, whose eyes were failing. I read him many academic texts, as well as Samuel Butler's "The Way of All Flesh."

And now Monqui Presents is off the list of "Go Portland Go" supporters!

Just got done seeing “Coyote vs. ACME” and it was a total blast. Audience was probably 10% kids, who were all losing their minds. Highly recommend the experience!

I got West Coast, specifically “Salt Lake City”, which makes sense as a San Diego kid that got raised by Mormon convert parents. mydialect.us/quiz-standar...

I'm not surprised by most of the supporters of this new version of the secret Republican organization that pops up for every Portland election, but boy oh boy am I disappointed to see Freeland Spirits and Breakside Brewery on the list. www.goportlandgo.org/coalition

I was reading this clickbaity Oregonian article about support for renaming Chavez Boulevard and there's some really suspicious language around the percentage of people that want the street to revert to 39th. www.oregonlive.com/environment/...

Last night someone going to the Gillian Welch show at Rev Hall parked their Tesla in front of the driveway of an apartment building's garage. The residents couldn't get in or out of their parking and tried to find the owner, but after failing to contact them they had the car towed.
