Been horrifying teammates by referring to undocumented information that's held only in people's heads as "locked in meat storage".

Please use this with your teams/projects and report back on how they like it?

There's something weirdly magical when a player, handed a pregen for a convention or shop game or home-game one-shot, just absolutely owns that pregen. Just slips in and claims it as their sovereign territory with unquestionable confidence. It's exhilarating.

It's very particular to pregens, this feeling, because of that special note of strangeness, like it shouldn't be wholly possible, when someone just reads a sheet of paper, nods to themselves, and bam: wholly inhabited.

Aussies, I need your email etiquette advice! In the UK, workplace emails start “Dear x, …” - it’s useful because it can mean anything from very formal (“Dear Professor ImportantPerson,”) to very informal (“Dear CloseFriend,”). Am I right in suspecting “Dear” is considered a tad intense here?

I see colleagues, including those I haven’t met in person yet, mostly use “Hi Sjoerd,” - so have started adopting “Hi x, …” to colleagues inside the organisation. I hope I got that right so far? And what do I do with colleagues outside?

Grateful for any advice, #Australia!
