So I know how to set a virtual background in Zoom, but is it possible to set a virtual background for the "Waiting Room" feature?

@roberthaines77 Hey! I've not been on twitter lately. But I *love* Starport with the kids. It's non-violent. I've also really liked Amazing Tales and heard good stuff about No Thank You, Evil! and Hero Kids, but IIRC both of those include some (light) violence. All on DriveThruRPG.com

Hey twitter, does anyone know of any AD&D scenarios/games that are suitable for children (7+)? I thought I saw something on here not so long ago, but now can't find it. I wondered if @powersoffour in particular might know of anything? All leads gratefully received, thanks!

I see Indy 5 is heading to the 1960s, thus narrowly avoiding have to weigh in on 1970's UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. [shakes head]

@adam_m_jcbs For some reason in our house we read an awful lot of stories that somehow involved veterinarians from the British Isles.

@adam_m_jcbs OK, don't take it too hard! I was sharing an experience, not trying to shame you! I should think more carefully before commenting! Your analogy is really *good* and if anything was underscored by the story!

Prepare for another Cambrian explosion in the #TTRPG space

@pkgw Since I sent this reply to you I saw a bunch of politics-adjacent people talking about a "post" or something but I haven't bothered to click.

@powersoffour Yeah, I was ignoring those...

I'd love to read a good discussion of why there seems to be no *for-profit* Twitter competitor that's sprung up. Seems like a no-brainer play in a world that's awash in capital?

@adam_m_jcbs I just finished reading Breda's Island with the 8yo (it's really really good) and it includes a rather crucial discussion of cattle vs pets in the context of interpersonal relationships and I have to say that it's now impossible for me to think about that as an analogy anymore.

I feel good about this runoff election, y'all. We did it before, let's do it again.

This might be my last tweet, so I feel obligated to use it to inform you that the new deluxe version of Queen's The Miracle is out and features a pretty rad demo of the opening track Party and you should listen to it right away

Mood for the day

If I don't survive, tell my wife "Hello"

@HeerJeet Loved the score by Enny Morry!

I was teaching an undergraduate class on American history once and mentioned the movie "The Mission." A student piped up, "oh yeah, Bobby De Niro is in that."

@plovener @AlbertoCairo I mean, maybe ... but on the other hand, I have yet to see a truly beautiful cellar door

@powersoffour @AlbertoCairo That's the idea, isn't it?
