Tim Walz’s kids doing bunny ears behind him while he’s on national TV at the DNC is the most relatable, Minnesota content.

No hype. No fanfare. No award show. No voting. No spell checking. No editing. Just some mother fucking RPG goodness. save.vs.totalpartykill.ca/bl… Sorry they are late: my life is bananas right now! #WhoNeedsTheEnnies

Walz: In Minnesota we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make. Even if we wouldn't make the same choice for ourselves, there's a golden rule, mind your own damn business.

Hey, just a quick heads up for people looking for local sources on Tim Walz: Alpha News is not a reputable news site. Reputable local Minnesotan news sites include the Star Tribune, the Pioneer Press, MPR, MinnPost, the Minnesota Reformer, Sahan Journal, and Racket MN.

First draft of some #BX or #OSE style monster stat icons (minus saving throws). I’d love any initial feedback if folks have thoughts!
Nine different stats for a D&D-style monster, each with a simple black and white icon. Armor class is a shield with a star. Hit dice is a heart. Alignment is two circles on either side of a vertical bar. Number appearing is an upside down pyramid made up of six circles. Movement is a cross with arrow heads at each terminal. Morale is a ghost face. Treasure type is a crown. Experience points is a circle with "XP" inside. Attack is two swords crossed into an "X" shape.
