Great RPG moment tonight. This is the reason I've been playing them for 45 years.
My young GM Sam, who played in my UVG campaign with his late father Simon (his coworker) was running.

Bat Out of Helloween was a blast.
“Paradise by the Dashboard Lights” is still a banger, and having the girl be way closer to 70 than 17 was adorable.

Well, I'm sure it was another horrible day in the world, but I figured out an automatable workflow to take a presentation I wrote in org-mode, and (following gitlab.com/olberger/doc...) generate a reveal.js presentation from it, and a decent-enough PDF of the deck as well.
I feel good about that.

I'm noticing that these rates are fairly reasonable, if someone better-heeled than me wanted to fly a banner over Mr. Kirk's funeral. I'll chip in what I can, but what I can is like $100, not anywhere near the cost of the banner.
