Yeah, a lot. Most of the time, if I reckon it right. Didn't start doing dining rooms or public spaces until I left high school.

These days, it's about once every two-three months. My favorite is Pandemonium in Cambridge, but Side Quest in Somerville is also quality.
Tagging @moxreuby.bsky.social for the next week's news.
That second one. Earlier versions of the song make it clearer.
It's come to this: The Ig Nobel Awards, presented at Harvard or MIT since the 1990s, is moving to Zurich because the US is not safe for foreign visitors

The 1996 draft of the unpublished, unannounced Magic RPG is substantial. I made a few marginal notes when I reviewed it. I'm giving it away for a donation to Planned Parenthood, offered by secret silent auction. DM me with offers. I'm likely to get a few big offers.

That, or trick shooting, Annie Oakley business.
The Wildsea has several class-analogues for characters who source and prepare food and drink, with capabilities and rewards to match.
I'll put him on my friends list.
I followed the link, but the most recent post on that page is from June 2025. Is there a place where the Origins Awards nominees are listed and I just can't find it?
On Saturday, March 7th Jello Biafra suffered a hemorrhagic stroke caused by high blood pressure.
As per Jello:
The two PWHL games being at the same time so I have to choose between them on International Women's Day feels extremely antifeminist.
I think that's "three-cueing" now.
Elliot Page as Viktor Hargreeves from "Umbrella Academy."
Checks out.
TLDR, Somerville asked the Commonwealth for permission, and Cambridge decided to beg forgiveness.
"Everybody honks when they get to the Bronx. Bronx Nissan…"
"Ah! Antonovich."
Is this a thing?

Made by Burry! Fun fact, Burry actually made Girl Scout cookies, so there is a connection there...until they sold off that division to ABC Bakers in 1989 who have been one of the two producers of Girl Scout cookies ever since!
On a completely different subject, the new Girl Scout Exploremore cookies are really good. They evoke the Fudge Town cookies of my childhood. (Remember those? Chocolate sandwich cookies? Daisy shaped? Cowboy on the box? Maybe @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social has something on them.) Anyway.

As I said, it's fine. I just feel like I would be happier if I had a better plan to do or think in those last 45 minutes between when my game ends and *the* game ends.
And sometimes it is, and sometimes it's not, but I don't want to disrespect the rest of the players and the GM team as they do what they do, and I do want to see how things conclude, even if the conclusion is foregone.
I could leave the game space, but that carries forth a message that I don't want to send: that it's somehow the fault of the game or the GMs.
I understand that there's a shift in tone from Act I to Act III, but when Act II is done, there's no backstage for me to chill in until the curtain call.
And if I do put myself off in a corner to chill, people think I'm the kind of unhappy that I'm not. I don't need to be coaxed in because I feel excluded; I'm wishing that the part of the game where I felt relevant was still going on.
But I also don't enjoy the feeling of being the ninth person in an eight-person squad just to be included.
My role in the story feels kind of done, because the things I'm skilled at, the things I'm supposed to care about, are aimed at disrupting, at disunity, and that just feels like the wrong vibe when everyone else is pushing toward what seems to me to be inevitable victory.
Dissociate a little, kind of want to find a corner of the game space and mess around on my phone. The people who have been working on these problems for the whole course of the game have gotten the problems well in hand.
And then… there's about 30-45 minutes where the individual teams are squared off and arguing about how they're going to execute their final plans. It's during this period, when I'm low on energy and everyone else is busy doing their thing, that I start to check out.
