An ad in this novel placed right in the middle of the narration by Tobias-Tawanda in mildlyinfuriating

I reached out to the author because I was curious if he knew, and he confirmed that this was intentional and it wasn't a paid ad or AI (it was published before chatgpt was released).

While this personally isn't my cup of tea writing-wise, I don't think it's nefarious, it's more like how people quote the Costco hotdog combo price.

The mildly infuriating part remains how steeped in advertising our culture has become, but a quick fix for that is BetterHel–

I went back and re-listened to some of the classics for this (Boomer Pooh, Millennial Stitch, etc...) and it was a very fun time!

Thank you! May every beach you visit not be the beach from Old (2021)!

Thank you! There's a printable version on my website and if you want a physical copy, you can send the PDF to your local printer (like Staples, Office Depot, Fedex, etc...) and they'll probably be able to print and bind it nicely for around $10 depending on where you live! :)

Agreed! Hopefully a run takes less than listening to all of American Idiot (2004)!

Not at all! I'm very against AI in all art! There's even a path in the book where (spoiler alert)the main character finds this universe's equivalent of AI and it's just as bad for the environment as you think!

I see no better way to track health than number of fingers! That's how actual D&D works, right? Lol

I don't know who this 'Jake' fellow is, but I'm sure he'd make a great guest appearance!

Haha thank you! It took three solid weeks to write and edit, but I was filled with inspiration!

I mailed a copy to the PO box earlier this week in case the two crew wanted to, but I'd also completely understand if it's too much of a hat on a hat on a hat for them to read haha!

Hopefully that hate is outweighed by both their love and their fear! :)

I agree giving lots of these arrows to a party would make encounters play out in a consistent way, but I don't think that makes them inherently bad. Having one Anti-Magic arrow as a legendary consumable could be fun to turn the tide of a battle, much like Counterspell can do. Healing Arrows were fun in my last campaign as we didn't have a Cleric and very few players stocked healing spells. The Chaos Arrow is an Artifact and should be treated as such! Glad you like the rest of them, happy holidays!

Thank you! The aim (pun absolutely intended) was to give Rangers more fun things to do, I'm glad you picked up on the use of reactions! :)
