Is this… entirely wise?
DraftKings Inc., the troubled Boston-based daily fantasy sports company, has retained former Massachusetts attorney general and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley as an outside adviser on legislative and regulatory matters, a spokesman confirmed Monday night.
I mean, sure, I don’t know whether or not Martha Coakley is a good attorney. But the fact that she tried twice to switch out that job for something else suggests to me that maybe she doesn’t really want to be one all that much. And while I’m not too checked out on this entire fantasy sports thing*, I’m getting the impression that these guys really, really want a good, motivated lawyer…

That’s admittedly kind of a cruel thing to say. Coakley isn’t a horrible human being. Just amazingly bad at winning statewide elections in Massachusetts.

*My favorite hobby is to go to somebody else’s house and role-play a 7th level Bard who is about to take a level in Cleric as soon as the attribute boost kicks in. I have precisely zero room to talk about how weird other people’s hobbies are.
“Coakley isn’t a horrible human being. ”
Considering how she handled Gerald Amirault’s commutation request, I’d say she _is_.
she was not hired due to her skills. she was hired due to her name. brings the place a little respectability, for some value of respectable.
And has a number of useful connections with those who make and enforce Massachusetts law.
Why would you do that? You get cleric spells as a bard, and you are getting to the levels where “Turn Undead” stops being useful. Plenty of solid bad Prestige Classes out there……
Thematic reasons: my character has the Acolyte background, and he identifies as a deacon in his religion. Taking a cleric level feels appropriate.
Can we get a good post about the campaign, sound like more fun than more posts about Trump.

Any ideas of campaigns for children in the <10 age group to introduce them to D&D?
There’s a guy who ran a Disney based DCC funnel with his kids. Someone was talking about doing that with a bunch of SW Stormtroopers. John Wright says he runs campaigns based on Shonen Jump for his kids.

You might not want to run GURPS DF with GURPS In Nomine and GURPS Lensmen.

If they read Rosemary Sutecliff, you probably wouldn’t go far wrong with a classical era ACKS campaign.

What I like now, or liked then, is not a good guide to what your group is interested in. Find out what media properties they like. Look at the kinds of campaign you like to run. (High fatality/turnover or low? Etc…) Look at the intersection. Have fun.
