"Puzzles and Traps"

Due to an electrical storm I couldn't post days 30 and 31 to this thread on Monday. So I am posting them now.

Day 30, "Best Game Running Experience"
In my Dungeons and Dragons game, the weirdness tends to ramp up to a crescendo and often crosses genre lines.

Day 31, "Writing is a Skill"
If you would like to write your own 30-day blog challenge like this one I present the original challenge's list of prompts, what I ultimately used, and I talk about why I use 30-day challenges to help me write more and better.

Now that I have finished my blog challenge I am starting to post things that are a slight bit more political.

This is a letter to my senator, Marco Rubio about the need for internet neutrality and my general distaste for the current FCC chairman.

This is a short discussion of the poem that is featured on the Statue of Liberty, because Stephen Miller, a current policy advisor to the White House for some reason thinks that the poem is revisionist history and I think he should be fired.
"The New Colossus", Poetry and Americana

August is turning into a very politics heavy month for my blog. I had planned to talk about the Korean Missile Crisis, but then Nazis started marching so I decided to talk about that and how diversity as a concept affected me growing up.

"Diversity in my Life and My Thoughts on Charlottesville"

This is another Dungeons and Dragons blog. I tend to think of orcs as the too boring henchmen of more interesting villains so I decided to write out a more complex idea for them based around their views on religion and virtues.
"Religion of Orcs"

I did a rewrite of an HP Lovecraft story for his birthday that was last Sunday.

Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of my having taken the GRE and starting a course on my life. I decided to give a brief rundown of events that have happened since then. I have only posted the first 2 entries and will post links to more as I write them.
