I'd love a random dungeon generator that includes multiple plateaus inside one room. For example, a dungeon with a waterfall or a tree. Whenever I'd run an adventure, my players would often try me out, and open a door of some sort

My ten year old gets an hour or so per day. On weekends, an hour after lunch, and another hour in the evening. But if she’s deep into some game, she gets half an hour extra. I spend far, far more time on my laptop and Xbox. These limits for

In the second or the third movie about Bilbo, this is revealed a bit, when the Elven king is ranting against this or that. During talking, he "drops" his magic a bit, and you can see that underneath magical makeup, he's sever
