I just heard a little girl (10ish?) hanging out with her friends down the street yell "CORIOLIS EFFECT!" and it's driving me crazy thinking of all the possible reasons she would have said that.
My kid brought this thing home today.

In the past 24 hours, I’ve gotten three calls from mortgage companies looking for my ex-wife. I was pretty sure that she wouldn’t put my phone number on her applications, so I asked the last guy who called how he got my number. He explained that they watch EVERYBODY’S credit, and when a mortgage inquiry pops up on anyone’s report, they call every number that’s ever been associated with that person, just so they can try to snatch the business from the company that ran the inquiry. One of the callers, after being told I was not my ex, proceeded to read off her birthday and ask if that’s when I was born. “No, but thanks for sharing her private information without permission.” If anybody was thinking about using Rocket Mortgage, I would recommend that you don’t. If they are this shady on cold calling, I wouldn’t trust anything else they do.
I just wanted to put something in my chest...

Just a thought that crossed my mind today. If I was to ask everyone that you’ve ever interacted with (IRL) what their general opinion of you is, what do you hope the most common answer would be? Would you hope they consider you a successful person, physically attractive, smart, the best in your field, etc? Personally, my answer is “A good, kind person. Friendly and helpful.” Just wondering what the rest of feel.

Kind of a shower thought, and maybe it’s just how I run campaigns, but it feels like there’s a lot of parallels between DMing and that guy who has a great idea for a book/movie but will never write a single page. The DM comes up with “So what if there’s this guy with this magic power, and the only way to beat him is through a very specific process.” And then all the Players decide: who are the characters? What do they do? What do they say? How’s it all work out?
