'Tis the season to be baking, and in my household that means non-stop weekends in the kitchen trying out new types of cookies, candies, and cakes.

The nights are growing long and cold, and soon we will be bugging Greatfather Winter for gifts, so let's make something that can keep us warm with ingredients that would make any Dwarf proud.

We all may be hanging out in the Shadowlands right now, but the land of the dead needs to work on their hospitality and food situation.

Do a google search of Assassin's Creed Valhalla and look at the images.

Last weekend, we went back to our long running D&D campaign and almost immediately found ourselves role playing a bunch, as our Dwarf Cleric Mediel and her undead Warlock cousin Malachi talked it out about how stodgy and confining Dwarven culture is, and our Tiefling Rogue Mischief found out she has three moms -- sort of -- and our Gnome Wizard Wilyur Rustspark has come to a resolution on his evil doppleganger, and our Elf Fighter Zellan really hates pirates.

Tasha's Cauldron of Everything arrived this week and like the title promises it brings a whole new book of "everything" to the D&D player.

Today, we have three tasty, easy treats to munch on -- savory mac and cheese bites, keto-friendly roasted cauliflower, and the highly addictive Tim Tam bars.

One of the ways Tasha's Cauldron of Everything changes up character creation in Dungeons and Dragons is by providing more options -- ways to create that origin you really want for your character, with custom ability score modifiers, background details, and even skills and subclasses.

Just for a sense of the scale of Ubisoft's latest Assassin's Creed game, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, I am just now probably at the 1/3rd mark.

One of the best parts of the brand new Tasha's Cauldron of Everything that's just come out for the 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons are the subclasses it offers.
