Man, is Tamacti Jun one of THE greatest characters ever created or what?! I could watch an entire show solely about him!!

Also, can Christian Camargo just play everybody in everything? Please and thank you!

When someone asks me about my hobbies and interests

Don’t you hate it when people answer their own questions? I do.

Curated Spotify playlists to liven up your D&D sessions!

I have always loved playing D&D with background music that fits the location, mood, or type of combat, so I created several playlists on Spotify. This project is something I've been working on since December 2019, and something I want to share with you all! You can find the list below.

If you have suggestions for songs/tracks to include, or if you want a specific playlist that is not in this list yet, please let me know! And most of all, have fun!

My father was in Auschwitz, my mother in Majdanek concentration camp, every single member of my family on both sides was exterminated, both of my parents were in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and it is precisely because the lessons they taught me and my two siblings that I will not be silent when Israel commits its crimes against the Palestinians, and I consider nothing more despicable than to use their suffering to try to justify the torture and brutalisation against Palestinians! I refuse to be intimidated by your crocodile tears, if you had a heart you would be crying for the Palestinians!
