When playing DnD do you like to DM or play a character?
Shanereplied:
on May 15, 2024 9:03 pm
That's a question that always has a changing answer. I think it's probably DMing - but I do get burned out on it quicker. It's nice to have a group that can take hiatuses and things like that.
A Strangerasked:

Would you rather have a hotdog that regenerated the same way whenever you took a bite, or a bag of Doritos Cool Ranch chips that never runs out?
Shanereplied:
on January 27, 2024 10:59 am
Definitely the Doritos. I feel like that would be easier to share with others.

If I had seen you on campus I would never thought you were a professor. Could you tell me if you are doing it (how you dress and act) on purpose? (such as to blend in with students or want to be cool?)
Shanereplied:
on January 10, 2024 10:44 pm
That's a good question. Maybe you students just look like me? I was here first after all.

What software did you use to create your website (this website)?
Shanereplied:
on January 11, 2024 8:01 am
It's all done with WordPress - an open source content management system that makes creating a site like this a cinch. And there's all sorts of modules that are plug in play, like this anonymous AMA page!

What inspired you to make your website?
Shanereplied:
on January 9, 2024 9:07 pm
I like making websites, sharing stories, knowledge, and other stuff. Plus I sort of think the Internet got stale when things like reddit and Facebook came to exist. I feel like blogs can be such a great form of expression, and the world needs more.
