A great reminder that, as some in our gaming communities seek shelter in found family, keep your eyes peeled for unrepentant shit humans.
Know someone who isn't safe to have around? Don't give them space to hurt more people. Protect each other.

Morning, bitches!
We must minimize the shitty people in the #TTRPG community.
That begins and ends with YOU. Got a horrible human being in your group? In your feed?
Confront them. Give them a chance. Then if they fail, fire them into the sun.
IT IS NOT THE COMMUNITY'S JOB TO REHABILITATE THEM.

Season 1 of Slow Horses was fantastic. Crushed the whole thing over the past few days (between the PAXU trip). It gives my brain a lot of ideas for gritty spy stories and how they can play out.

PAXU was great fun. I had the chance to run Delta Green for some great players. Perhaps even a few first timers (the weekend is a bit of a blur).
As ever is the policy, there was a housefire, gunfire exchanged between agents, a bedroom filled with loose skin, and some handmaid "corn" dollies.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

The arc of life is funny sometimes and painful other times. There are also times when life balls them up together and delivers it so effectively you couldn't get away from it if you tried.
