what is this from?

Hello From The Magic Tavern, it’s about a guy from Chicago who fell through an inter-dimensional portal behind a Burger King and ended up in a magical fantasy world, from which he does weekly podcasts.

I made a post about its pros and cons here if you’re interested.

You don’t have to be a part of any specific community in the same way being a witch doesn’t mean you have to celebrate the Celtic holidays and join a coven. You could, if you wanted to, but it’s up to you.

If you’re just a regular old elf, then you are. Nobody can be angry at you for that.

if you play D&D or have ever used Orcpub, you’ll have found out soon enough that Wizards of the Coast has cut off a lot of information in Orcpub due to copyright issues.

Orcpub is an amazingly detailed character creation studio that also function as a storage space for character and party sheets, as well as homebrew weapons, spells, and backgrounds. It is a huge gateway for new players that are daunted by the several books and have no idea where to start with character creation.

Right now, Orcpub has a change.org petition going in order to have Wizards of the Coast give them full licensing access, even if it ends up being subscription.

Please, if you can, sign the petition, and signal boost this.

I love learning. See, I have always loved learning about almost literally anything; cultures, animals, physics, chemicals, math, electricity, etc: I just loved knowing things, and how things worked.

Until I hit middle school. The further in school I got, the more afraid and anti-learning I became. By the time I hit middle school, I was wary of going even a little off topic, of asking curious questions. By the time I hit high school, I didn’t ask at all, and the only learning I did was about the worlds of my favorite media. By the time I hit high school, I rejected all things learning, as did most of my peers, to the point where if something, maybe a flyer or poster or ad, said anything having the words “teach” or “learn” most of us would steer clear.

I’ve now been out of high school for a few months. I have, on my own, started to look up things that I’m interested in, that I would have never touched in school. Not 10 minutes ago, I realized that I actually love to learn -- and that I had completely forgotten that. It’s only out of the toxic school environment that I could even register that I wanted to be taught anything, because everything associated with teaching, in my mind, was just Stress Stress Stress Anxiety Stress. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I’m allowed to make mistakes, that there is no test.
