New Cookie Recipe

-
 

New cookie recipe! Wanted to simplify things and use more unit measurements.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup butter (whole stick)
  • 1 cup sugar (½ white, ½ brown)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • (Optional) ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt. Put aside.
  2. In separate bowl, mix room temperature butter, sugar, vanilla, and egg.
  3. Incorporate dry ingredient mixture, mix until well combined.
  4. (Optional) Mix in chocolate chips.
  5. Chill in refrigerator overnight.
  6. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  7. Bake cookies for 10–11 minutes.
  8. Let them cool. Be patient! 

This makes 12 cookies (I kept making them too small at first)! Going to experiment with this recipe as a base to make my favorite cinnamon cocoa cookies.

Bite-Sized Dungeons

Workbook Now Available On Itch! Bite-Sized Dungeons by Traverse Fantasy Edit: This whole time, I said that a first level dungeon hoard had 100 times d6 gold pieces when it actually has just 10 times d6. This means the average hoard has an XP value of 70 without gems, or ~110 with gems. By extension, the eighteen-room dungeon only has 350 XP without gems, or ~550 XP with gems. That is downright dismal and I don’t think works out with modern play sessions and party counts, so let’s pretend it said 100 times d6 anyway. I just read an article by Yora of Spriggan’s Den about extrapolating a scheme for an eighteen-room dungeon from the procedural generation rules in B/X (1981) [1]. As Yora points out, eighteen rooms is a great size for a mid-to-large dungeon or for a floor of a multi-level dungeon, and the checklist of rooms makes it easy to make sure that the final product has a variety of interesting play interactions. But, being as large as it is, it can still be a tall order on the ...

Joshua E. Lewis & Publication Slop

-
Before I say anything else, I want everyone to know that Joshua E. Lewis is a terrible human being who (allegedly): Got dropped from his med school for cheating on his exams with a burner phone he left in the restroom and whose ringer he forgot to turn off because he's (allegedly) really stupid. Misused travel funds meant for medical conferences to travel to vacation hotspots like New York City, Las Vegas, and others. Recruited gullible first-year students, who wanted in on his prolific reputation, to mass-publish slop articles with help from generative AI. Told his girlfriend that he was checking himself into a mental hospital while just exercising at the gym, and also cheated on his girlfriend with a Grindr account. Edited screenshots of conversations over text with another student whom he reported for harassment. Lied about both of his parents being plastic surgeons to garner influence on Instagram and real life. But this isn't about Joshua E. Lewis. This is about every au...

OSR Rules Families

So, here’s the thing: originally I wrote this like a fucking research article with a hypothesis, a methodology, and all that stuff. I’m not even a scientific research person. That’s my partner’s job. Not mine. So, instead of walking you through every single step I took, I’m going to take the journalistic approach and start with the big picture before I zoom into it and tell you about the little details. I read, reviewed, and statistically organized 38 different rulebooks considered to be OSR or OSR-adjacent. These include four rulebooks from TSR-era Dungeons & Dragons , as well as ten rulebooks from the 2000s and 2010s. The remaining 24 rulebooks postdate the closure of G+ in early 2019. Please refer to the bibliography at the bottom of this post for more information. After having collected and organized a dataset with ~90 variables, I found the statistical similarity between each pair of rulebooks based on that data. Finally, I ran an algorithm to determine clusters of these bo...
