TIL about Yakisugi, meaning burnt and cedar. It's from Japan.
A beautiful natural treatment of wood.
It's where you partially burn wood, to cook off surface material cellulose and hemicellulose (main volatiles) and create a carbon layer. This is called pyrolysis. Because of this, it's reduces fire hazard by reducing the amount of readily available low ignition volatiles to combust. It also reduces damage from seawater and humidity, and safer.

Costa Georgiadis hosts Gardening Australia where he takes a look at various gardens created around Australia.
Peng's Aquaponic Food Farm is an amazing setup.
Fish create nitrogen for the plants.
The water is pumped to the plants.
The bacteria in the soil breakdown the nutrients from the fish.
The plants use those nutrients.
The water is clean and cycles.

TIL: Jean Pain and his OGL living methods

DDG: The Methods of Jean Pain for a free pdf

Overview:
Pain was a Frenchman who used compost to power his life 🛖

Decomposition of compost leads to thermal energy, used to heat water (60℃)🌡️

Decomposition releases methane used to fuel natural gas oven and car (90km) 🚗

Raking leads to less dead matter on forest floor, prevent forest fires 🐻

Once finished, the composed returns to the land to supply nutrients for new growth 🌲🪴

In the voice of the narrator of The Phonebooth. "A ringing phone must be answered."

Isn't it strange, in a lot of parts in my capitalist country it's illegal to be offgrid. In essence, you must be connected to the power supply and water. Yet, if you don't pay the bills, they cut you off and make you off grid anyway.
Do you think that's weird?

Someone with a significant internet footprint must have linked/referenced my one-stop stat block/ #OGL posts again. Blog visits jumped by a factor of 10 only halfway through the waking hours of the day. It might have been Rosie Midget's Seattle law review article. #RPG #TTRPG #DnD

One minor issue I have with the Mythic subsystem as presented in #PF1e : they clearly made one path per ability score (plus Universal), which means the "Int path" is Archmage, and the "skillsy path" of Trickster is more focused on the Dex sorts... so there's a very intellectual-hero-shaped gap.

I don't suppose some third-party #OGL #PF1 product exists to fill the hole of a "Genius path"?

I was proudly talking to my new coworker today about my posts on the #WotC #OGL and how all of that played out.
Blast from the past! ⏪ Remember when everyone was looking for D&D alternatives? This archive post provides a wealth of suggestions for games and creators to support instead of Hasbro.

So You’re Done With Hasbro’s D&D – What Now?

Hasbro’s handling of Wizards of the Coast in 2023 caused a public outcry, resulting in mass layoffs, an attempt to retroactively amend the OGL contract and significant cost-cutting despite Wi…
