This is very useful *although* I would probably add a dose of desperation to the whole thing. "Wolf Clan wants the skulls because they're sick and think necro magic might save them, so will attack more and more recklessly over time"
Basically more people getting explicitly screwed in the status quo

Everyone's #over/under posts are becoming about how pretending to be someone else in chat for 24 hours a day for five days does something to your brain and they are right. I'm having to make sure I don't type in excessively cautious Sampsa-Speak all the time in other chats
Trying to cut it as an info broker in #OVER/UNDER is getting to me. I see some irl news, I think "oh, I could sell this for a few creds." This game is genuinely changing how I see the world (I think that's a good thing??)

how many rooms are in Lordran
Tell me the minimum number of rooms a dungeon needs to have keyed to be considered a megadungeon.
(I'll nod appreciatively or scowl depending on whether you give me an answer that would include Castle Automatic in your definition.)

Seven years ago today the Mothership Player’s Survival Guide debuted at Origins 2018! We only printed 50 copies and made a single post advertising it on G+ (rip). We sold out that weekend and it’s been an insane ride ever since. Thank you.
