If you’re thinking about becoming a GM, I cannot recommend enough Justin Alexander’s (of The Alexandrian fame) new book So You Want To Be a Game Master. It’s a really great step-by-step hand holding guide that we probably all wish we had growing up, or that the DMs Guide actually provided but doesn’t (yet?)

His whole website is full of practical tips for the more advanced GM as well.

No recommendation from me because I don’t have a clue what I’m doing! But I always wanted one and realized that as an adult I could get one and nobody could stop me. 11yo me is pretty proud.

Technically Exandria/Wildemount but you’re picking up what I’m putting down.

Immediately my brain translated this to “regular gnoll…regular gnoll”

Love it. I did my green dragon with counter shading (lighter on the underside of the wings, darker from the top) and had a lot of fun with that with an airbrush which I had never used before. Kids loved it when playing Lost Mines of Phandelver. Lots of squealing!

I’d categorize it as a gerund in this context.

Can’t say I’ve noticed video differences, but Infuse has had the fewest audio sync issues for me. However the Plex layout simply fits my brain better. Especially the ability to reorder media and use collections, and integrate my OTA antenna.

Is it still true that only the Shield Pro does Atmos for my own media?

You can buy a lifetime license for Infuse. Alternatively the Jellyfin app is available too (as Swiftfin on the Apple TV App Store, but displays as Jellyfin on the Home Screen).

Not sure about it being in character for Peter Dinklage. But very much in character for Warwick Davis. cf. Life’s Too Short

D&D does have a daily living cost based on the characters’ backgrounds. Anything from wretched (inhumane conditions - 0 cost) or squalid (1 silver per day) up to wealthy (4 gold) or aristocratic (10gold minimum). But I don’t think anyone really keeps track in most campaigns.

Shame is a mismatch between ego and ego-ideal, whereas guilt is a mismatch between ego and super-ego. The ego-ideal in shame does depend on social norms. But that is by no means “artificial”.

My roommates said they would get me rims for Christmas. And a CB radio so I can talk to other car beds.
