Hrm. Maybe I WILL go see RED ONE.
Those are some good numbers RED ONE’s pulling. Critics hated it + audience loved it = big, sloppy fun, usually. I could do with some big, sloppy fun.
‘Mashed Sweet Potatoes in Orange Cups.’
This was one of the things my wife made for Thanksgiving because I was on bird and mashed potatoes and broccolini duty. Come, I will conceal nothing: I had signed off on trying it politely as part of my husbandly duties right up to the first bite. I ate the whole thing and was kind of happy that there wasn’t more, because I would have made myself a pig over it.
She fiddled with the recipe, upping the butter, orange, and the syrup, skipping the pecan drizzle, substituting almonds for walnuts because I have an allergy, and adding cinnamon on the sensible theory that everything else in the recipe went well with the spice. All in all, it was delicious. I won’t mind having it again.

PS: I decided not to take pictures of the food. Everything came out great and everybody else is showing off their food today anyway.

…I didn’t think @elonmusk would actually CONSIDER it.
It was a joke.
I'm sure that Hasbro would be happy to at least consider any serious offer. https://t.co/YV08ptipq1

A joke.
Elon teases buying Hasbro and DnD.

I mean, he can probably get D&D for a fraction of that, so I dunno if picking up all of Hasbro is necessary. Then again, the WotC tail wags the Hasbro dog, so it might make more sense to just getting it all. For that matter, the real money there is in Magic: the Gathering…

PS: Elon Musk is almost certainly trolling. Still. You never know, right?

So, movement on the RPG front.
It looks like I can actually get that blessed thing finally done. Which means that I need to allot some time in December to finish a couple things, and also set up a Backerkit to help crowdfund it. So I’ll be doing that next month.
Feel free to take a look, if you haven’t yet: .80version. And check out my Patreon!

It’s Thanksgiving weekend!
More or less officially now. We did the stuffing tonight because my sister-in-law has this gluten thing, and actually eating it in front of her seemed needlessly cruel (I’ll finish the rest late tomorrow night, in accordance with the custom). We have the pies, we have the recipes, we start the bird tomorrow, and posting will be light because of the holiday.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
Schrödinger’s cold.
A lot of stuff that’ll be happening over the next two days is going to be reliant on how my kids feel when they wake up today. We’ve had a cold rip through the house, and my eldest is at the pinnacle of the misery index from it. And my youngest, who has hitherto shown no symptoms… hasn’t woken up, yet. I usually don’t have to wake him up at all.
It is… ominous.

‘With A Little Help From My Friends.’

So, this Secret Level anthology has a D&D episode, apparently.
I turned it on wondering if we were getting something additional from DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES. That would have been cool. But what did we get, instead?
Welp.
Wow, but this looks like ass. https://t.co/6xjCfHmiXk

Further commentary unnecessary.
