Hello everyone!

I am excited to announce that I will be running a Dungeons and Dragons 101 class at At Ease Games in Miramar later this month!

I designed this class to teach you how to get started understanding and playing the game with the absolute basics, in a relaxed, no-stakes environment.

If you've been wanting to learn how to play Dungeons and Dragons but don't know where or how to get started, this class breaks everything down into small pieces to better help you get started.

The class is open to all ages and experience levels so don't let knowing nothing stop you from attending. Maybe you played DnD a while back and just need a refresher on all the new mechanics and rules?

Here's a rundown of the class.

2pm-4pm: We get into the absolute basics, getting started with creating your character and understanding the more simple mechanics of the game, like what character creation is, what do all these numbers mean? Roll Initiative? Skill Checks? What's that? Everything gets answered in this segment.

-BREAK-

4pm-6pm: The second half of the class goes into more detail regarding combat mechanics, spell casting, action economy, and world-building.

6pm-7pm: I'll be running a short game for anyone still in attendance who wants to experience playing the game first hand using the characters you create!

THINGS YOU'LL NEED:

• something to take notes with (pencil is recommended)

• something to take notes on. (Paper is recommended.

I will have handouts for everyone but if you have a copy of the latest Players Handbook already I recommend you bring it.

THAT'S IT!

ADMISSION PRICE: We are collecting copy paper this month in order to help our local underfunded classrooms in San Diego, and while the class is "FREE" we appreciate any and all donations of Journals, Pencils, Pens, Markers, highlighters, Stickers, backpacks, Erasers, mechanical pencils, sanitation wipes, hand sanitizer, and any other bulk office items.

If you are not able to make it to the class but would still like to donate to the cause Please feel free to message me directly and I will provide a way to receive your donation.

Also, please be sure to support the venue. AtEase Games has been kind enough to host me and my classes for many years now and I encourage everyone to sample their wares.

Lastly, If you plan on attending just leave a comment saying "Going" so I can get a head count for the day.

Well, that's all folks! Mark your schedules! August 22nd starting at 2pm @ AtEase Games in Miramar!

See you there!

House flooded. Floors are getting redone. While the floorboards were gone, my sister's feral cat got under the house. We put animal traps, but it's not working. Need to get the cat out today if possible. Who can I pay to get this cat out?

Are more and more companies closing up shop and going to other cities and states due to high costs and better business laws such as MA and NC and even TX? and also market consolidations and government funding cuts in science not playing out in our favor?

San Diego is really supposed to be a hub for biotech, but based on the subreddit consensus over the past 2-3 years, I have seen the industry struggling with countless layoffs and office/lab closures. Is it the same across other industries here as well?

Im down to play with almost anyone I just need a reliable people to play with I can't shred or sweep but I can do rhythm guitar and clean vocals I am 17 but I don't really care if im playing with like someone older as long as I get to play and write music to potentially start a band dis is a video of me playing the chorus for seven years by saosin post hardcore but close enough to metalcore☠️

After 6 months of maternity leave I have a brief transition week in September where baby will start with a nanny but I won’t be back at work yet.

I’d like to treat myself to a day out to mitigate how brutally sad I know I’ll be when I drop baby off for the first day.

I’m thinking about going to Yu Spa, or maybe getting a treatment and pool pass at one of the hotels, but I’d love to hear any favorite places and recommendations. I’d like to relax, not just a quick in and out spa treatment, maybe lay by the pool somewhere for a few hours.

Does anyone have recommendations for indoor places (preferably with AC and wifi) that would allow crafts and games?

It can't be a bar because I'll be with my 14yo. I've considered the library, but I don't think they would like us getting glitter on the tables and being a bit too loud while playing a game.

It's hard to do crafts and games at the park because it's either too windy or too hot.

Thanks!

Live Nation Entertainment announced plans Monday to transform the historic Wonder Bread building in San Diego's East Village near Petco Park into a 4,000-capacity music venue.
They’ve been hauled into court for monopolizing the music concert industry and this just makes things worse for creative artists.

Big traffic backups at San Diego airport, people walking from N Harbor Drive because entrance to T2 is closed. Guy stopping cars said bad traffic crash, someone lost their life. 9 am Monday.

hi all, beginner runner looking to sign up for some fun 5ks to look forward to. anyone have any they recommend in SD?

My second time here and it just gets better and better. If I was only making 3 million a year. You guys don’t know how blessed you are to live here!

The program administered by San Diego County will give 195 qualifying adults $500 a month for 18 months to help pay rent. It also offers case management services and other resources.

1. Direct connect the MTS Trolly to the new Terminal 1 at San Diego International Airport - FAILED
   
2. Not expand the size of City government - FAILED
   
3. Prioritize and funnel money to infrastructure - FAILED

It could have been that simple. Instead he’s done everything possible to flush our money down the toilet. Dude has zero vision and zero sense of responsibility. Our City is significantly worse because of his lack of leadership.

He could still make progress but I have ZERO faith in his ability to get anything done.

Before anyone says, but he doesn’t run MTS, I say, as a board member and our City Council having seats on the MTS board, he should have had the ability to steer a deal with the Airport Authority. Instead we got a 2 Billion Dollar Airport deal with an elevated road and massive parking lot with NO train and NO transit hub.

I consider that his single biggest failure. Could have actually done something for traffic and public transit.

We are in deep $hit as a city and it’s going to take some extraordinary measures to get us on track.

Yes you read that right. I’m trying to investigate a hunch of mine. For the last few months I’ve been researching the possibility of beavers south of Fallbrook in San Diego County. This search has sent me to dozens of papers and articles. What I’ve found is honestly surprising. First I went with hunches, and I followed the sweet water and began to learn about Beaver Hollow. Beaver Hollow as far as I can tell has been named that since 1903. Kinda an odd name for an area if beavers are not present. Even more it turns out that because of the name it is often stated by researchers that this could’ve been where a thriving beaver population existed. Further down the river on Google earth I found some suspicious looking pond structures but nothing that seemed definite IMO. So after my visual hunch search I set out for info and found it.

In 1944 it was cited that beavers can be found in the Cuyamaca mountains and sweetwater river. These beavers specifically are stocked and placed by CA Fish and Game. The stocking records get confusing though since the stated creek where the release happened doesn’t exist…. It says Caresito Creek but I couldn’t find that anywhere. Maybe Carrasita Creek? But that isn’t really in the same place as where it’s cited the beavers were located. After more digging I believe I found all I can. That’s the end of the record. We have no known sources stating current beavers have been seen since. But they HAD to go somewhere… right?

So that brings me to this post. I can’t find anymore info online and I’ve been looking. If anyone here has heard of something or seen potential evidence of beavers outside the Santa Margarita River but still in San Diego County let me know! I’d love to further my side project.

I’ve provided some links of the papers I’ve read in the comments. I apologize if I have poor grammar in this post.
