I've been thinking on a D&D campaign idea for [mumble] years and the last two days I dove into my 4E books. I'm among the minority who enjoyed 4E, but DAMN if it isn't verbose. I'm inclined to think it was a carry-over from 3E and its ludicrous rabbit holes full of rules. (1/2)

There a LOT of cool ideas I remember fondly from 4E—the "bloodied" condition is awesome, as is the concept of "minions"—but the gif attached to this tweet exactly conveys my reaction to realizing I have 220 pages of fluff-crunch to parse before I can make a choice. (2/2)

Some crazy-how, while trying to sign into my Microsoft account, I wound up creating a second one that is now associated with my Skype and Xbox accounts… despite, apparently, not being able to do that manually. Now what do I do?

Is it my imagination, or has the enchanting table gotten REALLY stingy in the last couple of #Minecraft updates? It offers me a ton of garbage spells and rarely changes its offerings.

Argh. My neck has been killing me today. I know I'm low on water, but if I drink a liter before I lie down to sleep my brain will just have to wake up in urgent response to my bladder an hour or two later, which isn't congruent with my personal concept of a "good night's rest."

You know what'd be cool for the next Mars rover? A camera mounted on a lawn-dart sort of thing, dropped from the sky crane stage just a few moments before the rover is lowered to the surface. It could do some cool tracking video of the touchdown for us. NASA JPL

This is what I get for being absent from Twitter for so long: I didn't know there were cameras on the descent stage, though in retrospect it ought to've been obvious.

1492: Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis. It's 54 minutes and 44 seconds of perfect beauty in the dark. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

I often wonder which missed/unknown opportunities diverted me from this course. My life now is definitely not where young ZF thought he would be. Sometimes I go to bed sad and angry, hoping I've taken one for the multiverse team… that all the other ZFs are daring mighty things.

Hey, y'all. One of my favorite podcasts, Venture Maidens, just wrapped up its first D&D campaign after five years. The lovely people responsible are kickstarting a campaign guide and I want it to hit that $100k stretch goal, so have a listen and a look: kickstarter.com/projects/2cgam…

OMG HiRISE snapped the coolest photo of ARCHIVED - Curiosity Rover on top of Mont Mercou, and it. is. amazing. 🥰 uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_0690…

When you need to fuel the rider instead of the vehicle. This is my mountain bike, Chaser. No mountains today, but I needed to escape the apartment after a crazy week.

If we're talking the beginning of the year, "It's a Beautiful Life," by Ace of Base. If we're talking after the winter break, "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" by Elton John.

I can, but not as good as The Matrix. Hackers.

A Tabaxi commission I've finished last week for GCU Gravitas Failure ! This was a challenge, but so fun to work on! (Thanks Paul Pereda for your feedback on the rendering! ❤️) ✉️ 3 slots available for October! DM me for more info.

I want everyone who sees this to know how fun and rewarding it was to work with Larissa. She's responsive, interested, and intuitive. I gave her some VERY barebones information and received from her hard work a piece of art I'll enjoy showing to others for a long time to come.

GCU Gravitas Failure I love love love how this came out! What a fun piece!

This place hasn't burned down yet?

I rather thought Twitter would implode overnight. Seventeen years of cool stuff gone in a keystroke and the conversation would just be… over. This systematic disassembly of an intricate system is a tragic waste. After tonight, my account will be deactivated.
