I have a question about tea. Too hot, and it burns. Too cold, and it's not that great.
So there's a goldilocks zone where it's just right, but it's only in that zone for about 10 minutes. So I'm either drinking fast or reheating constantly.
Should I just be lowering my standards??

The village of Chagrin Falls is one of my favorite places in Ohio. It's doubly wonderful then to see games of ours like Harvest Hoppers and Teatime Adventures find a home there at the amazingly cozy game shop, Off the Wagon.
Buy local! Buy from your FLGS!

I'm curious, how important is balance to you in a #ttrpg? Balance can mean among classes, between levels (early vs end game), item/perk systems, & other facets.
It's funny to think that D&D 4E was probably the most balanced #dnd product published, but the least well liked

Where my fellow TTRPG book hoarders at? The ones who see an empty shelf as a challenge. Who read thru the stat blocks "for fun".
Whose friends "very much appreciate you running games for them but wow that's a lot of unplayed books and.. wait what did I say why are your eyes wet.."

TTRPG Writing Tip #242:
If you're at risk of procrastinating on your writing, make a cup of tea. Then make a snack. Better clean up those dishes. Wait, did you get the mail yet? The tea's cold now. Better remake it. Wow, is it 5 o'clock already? Did you even do Wordle today?

If you write a dragon into your dungeon, give it room to fly.

On the other site, I had saved a really great thread where I had asked T’s share their favorite resources as an alternative to TPT.
Can we do that here?
I’ll start some off in the comments ⬇️⬇️
