Using the Rules Cyclopedia as a guide, the AD&D banshee is a LOT more forgiving than the RC version (and outright missing in the OSE tome). A lot of other monsters align perfectly without conversion.07 May 2026 01:24 +0000at://did:plc:5n3anewtkab6fvm3t7r2vrid/app.bsky.feed.post/3mla2lhgsfs2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/deaches.bsky.social/post/3ml52k4765c26'Tis better to mayo in de cinco than to cinco in de mayo.05 May 2026 20:45 +0000at://did:plc:5n3anewtkab6fvm3t7r2vrid/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml52k4765c26https://bsky.app/profile/deaches.bsky.social/post/3mkixi5polc2mSomewhere in the near future, the day of the fountain pen will come to an end. "The fountain pen is dead!", cried the stationery nerds. "Long live the fineliner!" But seriously though. It's cheaper, doesn't feather, bleed, or show through as much, and doesn't leave an indention like balled points.27 Apr 2026 20:57 +0000at://did:plc:5n3anewtkab6fvm3t7r2vrid/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkixi5polc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/deaches.bsky.social/post/3mkbwnpg3ss2hOkay now I feel disillusioned by Bluesky/Atmosphere. It's the Solid that made it off the ground. So public data is stored elsewhere. Cool.

Of course, there is also the Web method (https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-method-web/).03 Mar 2026 12:39 +0000at://did:plc:5n3anewtkab6fvm3t7r2vrid/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg5rzr3eg22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/deaches.bsky.social/post/3mfxtptbclc2oAfter this deep-dive recently into #ATProto, I think I understand the method by which it's "decentralized". It's not "federated" like Mastodon/ActivityPub where multiple instances of the same software communicate. It's all about the PDS.
