"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

DM/GMs: talk to us about making stuff up when your players go in unexpected directions Do you have spare ideas and characters lined up? Or do you just fly by the seat of your pants? (Alex is about to make his GM debut and is worried the players will derail all plans in the first five minutes!) ๐ฒ
