I think this also highlights how bad D&D combat is. Man that was boring to read. Agree. Boring to play too. I’m wondering how chatGPT, or other such aides can be used to make combat better. I tend to aggregate rolls for foe

What would be the most fun thing to build? This really got me thinking, and excited! But then… It has to be something that makes our product better, not a random technology or unrelated market. :( Boo! Not so much fun anym

It would surprise me if we could not measure and detect any variation in the earth’s rotation. A leap second is on the order of less than 0.000001% variation, at least according to the leap seconds applied recently.
