The new D&D Free Rules (2024) are available and ... well, free. My players and I have recently been discussing if/how we want to bring these new rules into the game. My philosophy is the game is for fun, and I want people to enjoy playing the game. #DnD

Fried soy with vegetables. Tofu is not my first (second or third) choice, but if it is good enough for gnomes and elves, I’m ready to try it. Really good! #flavorsofthemultiverse

what is one thing you've done that you only had to do one time to embed it in your brain so you never did it again?

I'll start: shaking up a bottle of hot sauce without checking to make sure the cap was on it tight. Hot sauce everywhere in the kitchen.

you never know what someone else is going through. just like they don't know what you are going through. instead of scorn and rage, practice compassion and respect. you don't have to get it to give it.

Pasta and cheese are the traditional combination, but the ways they can come together vary so much. Combining ricotta and mozzarella cheese, then stuffing it inside cooked pasta shells creates a delicious combo that is better than any restaurant variety. #larryskitchen

Breakfast for dinner is always acceptable. Skillet fried spiced potatoes and scrambled eggs. #larryskitchen

If you aren’t making a Mickey Mouse pancake, why are you even trying to make pancakes? 🥞

Wonderful lunch and talk with a friend I have not seen in a while. Swapping dreams and nightmares over Saturday brunch. A nice soft reset.

"I'll come in again."

love the callbacks to Monty Python that devs put in so many games.

Last night, I fried some onions as part of dinner. This morning, the house still smelled like onions, so I lit a cupcake-scented candle. Now, it smells like onion cupcakes. Some things do not go together.

when you contact your best friend and tell him that you are on the proverbial ledge, and he responds with, "I'm more likely to push you off. Just so you know," those are the people who will also likely jump with you.

"While we always prefer to communicate happy news, legal and comms sometimes have to work together on difficult matters, and Larry was incredibly professional, organized, and (most important to me, personally), looked around corners. (He) was community focused and sought to ensure our customers were well-informed and our company well-represented."

let's chat about how I can help your company with communications!

if your DnD party comes across a person who is clearly not a threat and has shown no intelligence or emotion, what is your course of action?

if you are Bam, you take out your war hammer and smear her head against the crypt wall, then move her body to a latrine.

as a DM, I am a bit alarmed....

I’m going to need a lot more coffee if you want me to progress beyond this state of being. ☕️

I am going to be without supervision this week. K is on a work trip, so it is just me and the Tornado Twins (and Sunspot, who may shun me all week). let the games begin.

Nothing like an unexpected downpour with heavy wind and hail to liven up the afternoon. ☔️ And in 15 minutes, it is gone.

I will admit that it is a rare moment when one of my recipes doesn’t involve turning on the oven. But it also doesn’t heat up the kitchen area when temperatures rise. This shrimp salad is cool, refreshing, flavorful, and does take some prep work. Totally worth it. #larryskitchen

starting off the week with a hot mug of deadly nightshade. how are you getting inspired today?

Silas: "Wait. I want to go back and check to see if they dropped any jewelry or money."

Gert: "If you reset the encounter by going back, I'm not going to save you."

as a DM, nothing warms my dice more than party unity. :) #DnD

K: “I don’t know if I can trust you to go get pizza and bring it home. You’d eat it all on the way back.”

Me: “That’s why I get the bread sticks.”

K: “…. Well played.” 🍕
