Airline tried to bribe people to get off a plane today bc it was "overweight." We sat in awk silence for 20 mins until they said "ok fuck y'all" and took luggage off the plane. Turns out the luggage was actually from a previous flight and we all got our time wasted for no reason

the #1 most surprising thing of the day was that we had absolutely zero technical or scheduling hiccups. none. for 12 hours. with 17 cast members. all running through my humble little macbook. an unfathomable amount of good fortune. today we really all were The Favored 🏆

Arc 1: he’s a guy Arc 3: Annie Wintersummer. A sorcerer who refused to connect with her own innate magic still haunted by the sacrifice of her best friend. Goal-oriented to the point of self-neglect, loving but rude, strong but broken. Arc 5: he’s a guy but he sucks

The Lingering Injuries table is cool, but can be a little awkward (e.g. a fire spell breaks your ribs). I think I may always run games with Lingering Injuries now, but only as a result of melee weapon attacks. The injuries make more sense + it helps martial classes feel cooler 😁
