What if school classes were RPG classes in a game? Having a party of students that is composed of a physics student, a foreign language student, a history student and a religion student could be for example a fantasy equivalent of a wizard, a bard, a rogue, and a cleric.

@adiwan I had actually just been mentally workshopping something like that, where your character sheet is a report card and instead of numbers it was letter graded, "Oh I've got this puzzle, with my A+ in Ancient Sumerian Math!"
-
@scribus Hmmm.... Weirdly compelling. So you have to find books, teachers, information and then to write an exam to level up a skill?

And now I am debating breakfast....

Well that darn duck decided to lay eggs on top of my greenhouse tent (which I've always had a moisture control problem with anyway, just one more reason to dismantle it)

I bit the bullet and ordered a Sony Xperia 10 VI. I am annoyed that 1) didn't get any cheaper and 2) the successor wasn't released/announced this month and 3) my battery of my Blackberry KeyOne only lasts barely half a day at idle and shuts down when any higher strain on the CPU is below 40% charge. The successor comes probably out at the end of Fall but it is too long to wait any longer.

I'm digging through the campaign book. It is a slog for a slow reader like me. Additionally there are a lot of parts that make me think hard to solve the riddle on how to implement the written plot in practice as the instructions are very vague at times. Not an insurmountable problem but annoying. Also there are a few parts that could be incompatible with my group.

I have decided to run "Hoard of the Dragon Queen" as my first campaign. I heard that it's not so good however none of my players have played that. It is definitely easier to DM than to make a campaign from scratch as a beginner. Also the other "good" campaigns some of the players have already played. I wanted to try a campaign in the MTG Theros setting, however my ability to create a large campaign from scratch is a little bit too low for the time I can spare. Also finding appropriate (battle) maps is impossible. I thought people would create more maps with white pillars and Roman/Greek architecture.

I own the least profitable company in the entire state (as in it does not profit at all and in fact bleeds money) which is great for taxes but not great for convincing people you know what you’re doing

Sad that Andor finished. Glad that it ended well.

This weekend I bought 400kg (50 tiles at 8kg per tile) worth of concrete tiles and put my greenhouse tent on top of this. My arms are a little bit sore, as well as my back. This tent has place for 7 of my patented bucket solution that holds two tomato plants each with plenty of spare room to walk in the middle. Maybe I put something small there, like for herbs or my jalapenos.

The Simpsons still does episodes where Ned is emo about his dead wife even though I’m pretty sure most current casual viewers have never seen an episode where either of his dead wives appears.

Bought myself a box again. This time it is a medium-sized wooden box that once contained a slide projector, according to the seller. The lid has a small crack but it has its charm. I have still some tools store. I am not determined yet but I guess it is quite fitting for my rasps and chisels and maybe some of my smaller saws, woodworking stuff in general.

It is bonkers to me that people give so much authority to the catholic church. If they were doing the right thing the child diddling pieces of Fluffle Puff were in jail and excommunicated.

@nerthos Sounds great! I was not very informed or I forgot the news about that. I guess my avoidance of religious news is the culprit.

@nerthos Plus, the vast majority of said CSA cases happened in the 60s and 70s. At the same time hippies were taking 14 year olds to concerts and giving them drugs to sleep with them, Michel Focault (of marginality theory fame) was leading a political movement to remove age of consent laws in France, and universities worldwide taught that you should do LSD and pedophilia was actually a very good thing for the kid's development.
It was a plainly insane era, objectively the most predatory and abusive of the XX century except for maybe Weimar Germany. -
@adiwan Yeah it was nice. They excommunicated like 900 priests between 2004 and 2014 when serious investigations took place.
Obviously there will always be incidents like with any crime (there are over 400k active priests plus a whole lot more clergy staff, nuns, monks etc) but the cover up policy is over. Now they try to do an internal investigation first and if they find anything, excommunicate and report to secular law, unless it's within the vatican, which as a sovereign state has the authority to trial.

I mean, the current Pope was in elementary school in the 60s
