Game design, etc. Created D&D 5th edition. TTRPGs are the greatest games ever created. I'm lucky I get to make them.

I am more than happy to answer questions about 5e rules and design. Just hit me up, and I will quote your question to share answers.
In addition, if you need an earlier answer clarified or were confused by any answer I offered BITD, let me know.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
Today in D&D, the dwarf rogue quietly spiked a door shut while the Tiamat cultist on the other side gave his cultists a pep talk before their attack. Hilarity ensued.
Hilarity = A planned cultist pincer moved turned into a massacre in detail. Gotta love clever players!

Hey everyone! If you like the D&D 'walkthrough maps' I've done over the years, I'm excited to announce a project long in the making...my new book DUNGEONS! ILLUSTRATED MAPS OF CLASSIC DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ADVENTURES, coming from Ten Speed Press on April 27, 2027!

NFL/NBA: “it’s the preseason, we’re sitting our starters, we don’t want them to get hurt”
Hockey:
My fantasy team is a wreck do to injuries, but pretty happy with my decision to avoid anything Green Bay related. Packers have looked bad all year.

If there's an NFL player you want to see struggle next week, let me know and I'll try to add them to my fantasy team. I've had about half the guys on my roster go down injured. We're jinxed!

Had a great time talking games and game design on the Hermit's Homebrew podcast.

Pretty deep into my NFL off-season training program. Watching old games, complaining about officials, yelling at the offensive line, eating snacks. Rounding back into shape.
True* fact - the original harlot table in the AD&D DMG specified that they were all North American brown bears. Larian was simply being true to the ACTUAL source material.
This quoted post is unavailable.
I ask anyone seeking to refute this to cite where in the DMG it specifies the harlot's species.
