Andrew wrote the introduction to THE TAO OF IGOR. After he was diagnosed, I sent him the entire work in progress, with notes. To me, having @RedPenOfDoom write the intro was every single bit as emotional as when Gary Gygax wrote the intro to the first DORK TOWER comic book.

I'm just glad Andrew Hackard made an appearance. I guess the last time I saw him was at Gen Con, so it seems appropriate.

This is Gretchen on Andrew's account. I don't normally share from his twitter, but he would be absolutely gobsmacked by these policies and his twitter reach is far greater than my own. To honor his memory of allyship, I share.
Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers. He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.

I'm being told by Austin news (and old gamers) that Dave Nalle died of COVID over the weekend. Dave was always someone who was willing to talk, whether he was being kind, sarcastic, or just making the rest of us yell a lot, and I'm sorry I hadn't more info recently. Dave was 62.

Just in case someone runs a U-Haul truck back up to the Oval Office, maybe someone should put a guard on the Resolute Desk before it flies down to Florida.

Honestly, I’m not sure if Betsy DeVos is even qualified enough to resign as Secretary of Education.

Having some black eyed peas for breakfast and then I think it's right back to bed for another hour or twelve. Happy new year, y'all.

Got a LOT of 50th birthday greetings while I was upstairs playing games with my family all afternoon and evening, so I have a few replied to make -- later. Thank you all for the kind posts and now it's Merry Christmas time! <3 <3

Make sure you know the beginning middle and end before you start. They can change as you write, but know where you are headed when you start. Make certain your protagonist makes choices. The more interesting the choices, the better. Finish. You can't fix it until it's done.

@Massawyrm attempting writing first novel. If you could give me three pieces of advice for this endeavor what would they be?

Dear @JoeBiden If 45 loses on Nov 3rd(ish), you better believe his entire lame duck period will be spent destroying every part of the country that he can. You better have a plan for this.

This is a REALLY fun book -- if one game doesn't tingle your dice muscles, turn the page and try another! (Yes, dice muscles are a thing. YOU shut up.)
Thang to everyone for already making the Random Fun Generator a success! We've got a multitude of dice available, with some new dice unlocked via stretch goal! If you haven't checked it out, do it! -HS

It seems like every day, I hate humanity just a tiny bit more.
I am UNBELIEVABLY fucking tired of "my sincerely held religious belief means that I cannot do my job." Jobs, it turns out, are not generally assigned. CHOICES WERE MADE. You went to pharmacy school. You applied to be a county clerk. You had OPTIONS.
