I’m about to start DMing another D&D campaign. And even after 40+ years in this space, I’m still … will they like it? Will it get past session 3? Have I prepped enough? Are my plots hookable? Will it be fun?

I do not argue on social media. Trying to change opinions with silly things like facts, data and expertise is only really good way to get myself really frustrated. But sometimes I have to resist looking into that abyss.

About 30 years ago, I built a boardgame as a university assignment based around Talisman and was designed to teach concepts of Evolution, Environment and Natural Selection. The prototype is lost long ago and there are only vague memories of how it worked. At some point I should revisit the idea.

3 years ago, I thought I’d ended the chapter as a classroom teacher, exhausted and terrified. Now I getting ready to return to the classroom in a place that makes me feel completely engaged and energised. Life is a tricky path to navigate.

I’m taking a short “dip of the toe” back into the world of D&D Adventurers League today at a place called Exiles. As much as I love building characters, I’m curious to see what has become of the Sydney chapter since the COVID-diaspora. And I want to see what the community is like…

Why is that I’m offered sport spectator experiences by telecommunication and insurance companies? Do they not have access to “the algorithm”?

Just a side note. Over the course of my life I’ve done things I regret, occasionally being hurtful. Mostly it was a spur of the moment thoughtlessness and ignorance. But hopefully I can look back and learn to be better.
