So, Liz and I took a week off, and a bunch of the old crew from college came up to escape for a bit.

It’s old news at this point, but Wizards of the Coast pulled all their PDF sales because folks were sharing them an infringing on their copyright. Now, while they have every right to protect their copyrights, and indeed have a financial responsibility to do so, and further, stopping PDFs of in print products may make [...]
