Some people don't know how to teach #boardgames
like if we're playing #chess
Me: How does this piece move again?
Them: Typically you'd move it defensively or to capture a piece.
M: Right, but where can it go?
T: Um, you just move it.
M: OK, then I'll move it forward.
T: That's a bishop, so it moves diagonally. Rooks move forward and back.
M: Oh, then I'll move my Rook forward instead.
T: Why? You can move it sideways to capture my piece
M: ...Can I see the manual?

Some people don't know how to teach #cardgames. It's like if we're playing Go Fish and they go:
"So in this game, everyone gets cards. On your turn, you pick an opponent, and you talk to them, and they might have to give you cards, or they might not. Then on their turns, they can do the same to you. And at the end of the game, we count up everyone's scores, and whoever has the highest score wins."
I still don't know how to play!!

I need to remember to not escalate. This is the fourth time it's happened at this intersection, and the third time at this exact corner. I need to be more cautious at that spot. The driver could get a traffic violation, but I would be in the hospital.
I haven't had this problem at other intersections, so I wonder what's different.

A driver plowed into the crosswalk (bikes are allowed on sidewalks here because there are so few bikeways or lanes) on my morning #bike ride today when I had the light and right of way. If I hadn't slowed down defensively, I would have gone under his tires.
I admit I yelled, and he yelled back. The motorcyclist behind him looked concerned.

Also here's a picture from 1909 of Dorothy Gale and her partner Ozma as she "hugged and kissed her rapturously"

They were called co-princesses and "forever companions", but they had a ceremony declaring their devotion to each other and then Dorothy moved into the palace. Before that, Ozma was raised as a boy before transitioning into a princess. I love these two

Aw yes in the #AlteredTCG, Dorothy Gale and Ozma are officially a couple, like in the original novels!

I like the 60-card deck size of the #oathbreaker format for #mtg but there are 1/10 as many Planeswalkers as Legendary Creatures. That's a limit on deck variability, and prices will just go up if the format grows in popularity. I like the roleplaying element, though

I got a chance to flip through the new #DND book today. The layout and organization is so readable! It was easier for me to find things in this new book than in the book I've been using for years.
And I love the new art and way of presenting characters in community with one another :blobhajheart:
Looking forward to SRD 5.2

Seems to have run its course! Kind of grassy/green compared to habaneros I've had before, which was neat. No egrets 🦢

Just migrated from octodon.social , which has ~780 users, to mstdn.social, which has 19,000+ users! Migration was easy, especially with the fediverse connections and domain block preview tools from @stefan
