I'm a fan of Puffin Forest's RPG Story videos, and Abserd was one of my favourite recurring character from them, so I got a kick out of the latest TRL video:

Every fall in Cape Breton the tussock moth caterpillars make their appearance, and this past weekend they put on a real show for me. A dozen banded tussocks marched back and forth across the banister at my uncle's house as post-tropical storm Lee passed us by, giving me an opportunity to try out my macro lens. #CapeBreton #NovaScotia #Caterpillar #InsectPhotography #MacroPhotography

This one, located just outside Peggy's Cove, sits at the mouth of St. Margaret's Bay, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Well, just ran the first 3 rooms of it, at least.
It's my step-son's 10th birthday this weekend, and for it he requested that we play "D&D". I... I've not been an active player since the pandemic started, and the whole debacle with the OGL really made me decide I didn't want to spend money on the 5e DMG. So, with his blessing, I went with Pathfinder instead.
There were six of us, three adults playing iconic, two 10 year olds playing custom characters, and me behind the screen. Of us all, only the 2nd kid - my step-son' s cousin - was an active D&D player. The rest had dabbled over the years, but hadn't played in a while.
I'm surprised how well the 10 year olds took to it. I've heard people complain about the game being a little more frustrating for people with less patience, due to the abundance of described mechanics, but the 3 generic action point system made combat... Well, not a breeze, since the oversized party still struggle deith the first encounter, but much less co fusing than the "3 separate action pools" of 5e.
I did hand wave away a few rules, just because I wasn't about to tell the birthday boy that circumstance bonuses don't stack when he and the party are struggling to make contact with some ROUSes, but for the most part it went spectacularly well.
It took 3hours to get to the end of the 2nd encounter, but the kids seemed to have a blast, mad were putting up a fight when told we had to pause the game for bedtime.
Ok the whole, I'm very impressed with the whole experience. I can't wait to continue the box!
There have been a lot of threads these last few days discussing the current feature-set of /kbin. While it's good to go out there and get a sense of what's the prevailing opinions are, it's probably actually better for the project as a whole that actual feature requests be lodged at the issue tracker.
https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues
Open source projects, and their code repositories, are often treated as the exclusive domain of coders, but the rest of us can actually help guide project engineers by contributing ideas. And like all contributions, they really belong in the project's repository, where they can be viewed in a single location not only by the project's maintainer, but by other code contributors who may see ideas listed and want to take on the task of implementing them.
So, rather than having the same feature down in the 87th comment of a dozen different threads, where code contributors are not likely to see them, let's get them up there front and centre!
