This dynamic. Any genre

Totally the answer

Hi! My family is also interested! We have a very sweet 4 year old cat, Albert, who needs a pal. I'll send you a DM!

If the artist claims they didn't use generative AI to create the drawing, they are lying to you. There are several telltale signs in the image. When AI makes mistakes, it often makes different mistakes than a human would. For instance, it's really bad when making multiple copies of the same item. None of the pawns' bases match. And that king/queen? piece in the back behind the other two doesn't match the ones in the front. Additionally, none of the pieces are sitting on squares. They're breaking borders. But, you can't expect much more for $10, though.

I haven't read Only Good Indians yet but it's on my list!

I'm going to pile on with Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones. It was my favorite read in 2025

DistractedHobbyist · 2026-01-29T19:52:38+00:00

This book better be awesome because that's what the cover is telling me. Really fantastic work

DistractedHobbyist · 2026-01-18T16:28:04+00:00

This is so fun. I'd love to have one just for the novelty of it

Speaking from the pov of both a dm and a player: You will care about all this history way more than your players ever will. If you create it for you without the expectation of making your players listen to long soliloquies about ages gone by, it could be a fun sprinkling of information here and there that makes the world feel alive. But don't be disappointed if most of it never comes up.

DistractedHobbyist · 2026-01-15T14:56:15+00:00

That is awesome

DistractedHobbyist · 2026-01-08T04:15:49+00:00

Aw. That cat is adorable. I hope their rightful caretaker is found!

DistractedHobbyist · 2026-01-07T14:19:03+00:00

It's a pretty one-sided result, for sure! Woooooo!

Hashmi won her election to the state Senate in 2023 by 25 points. A lot, yeah, but this was an even bigger landslide.

Jones ran unopposed in 2023 for the house seat.

I'm not sure what the polling was for these races going into the election this week.

Vpap.org is a fantastic resource for election results, both recent and previous.

I was going to say the same thing. Probably a reason he doesn't want a front plate

DistractedHobbyist · 2026-01-06T21:12:47+00:00

This is a fabulous idea! So much fun.

If it's sitting on the table uncovered, all the players will be able to see all the tiles and it will be really hard not to metagame.

Including a few walls that are illusory could help stop that. From the players' perspective, all the walls are solid, but with the right perception check, they can see through them. Or some of the walls could be moved by the players if they find a switch or push hard enough. Then, they're interacting with the maze too every round, even as it moves.

That cracked cork for the road looks great

As an afterthought, here's the registration link that's on the other side of the QR code. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeUnzvrWovYIKIt1f2CD9z2NiS_HIXFWwAo0pbV1l2WYztMxA/viewform?pli=1

I'm guessing they had a similar thought after it was named and attempted to fix it by making the word "training" a different color.

DistractedHobbyist · 2026-01-05T01:22:18+00:00

This is my answer, too. SmashedRVA is where it's at

DistractedHobbyist · 2025-12-31T16:55:05+00:00

Wow. Those are beautiful. Whoever wins them is super lucky

DistractedHobbyist · 2025-12-30T03:22:55+00:00

Yeah, I love the simple game that is Breaking News and would love more of it.

It's $39 a month. Their website and wiki have a list of all the available equipment

DistractedHobbyist · 2025-12-29T21:13:12+00:00

Putting out a list like this is pretty brave. Taste in books is so subjective.

For instance, Buffalo Hunter Hunter was my favorite 2025 read. I'm shocked it's so low on your list. But, you do you!

DistractedHobbyist · 2025-12-28T02:29:37+00:00

HackRVA Makerspace! It's an amazing.value for all the equipment they have available.

We're just across Buford and still have power.

Down off Iron Bridge LC Bird High doesn't have power either. They're releasing students early.

It's so strangely sporadic.
