Thanks to Wiz I've learned that plants require food, water, and constant care to stay healthy...

...and that pets don't.

What have YOU learned?

Is there a model-building kit for creating crystal shapes--similar to the ball-and-stick kits for assembling molecules in Chemistry class?

It's everywhere! It's common! And I don't know where to find some!

I live in the metro Atlanta area of Georgia. I'm looking for specimens of sandstone (not fossils, I don't care about fossils, just the rocks themselves). Where should I be hunting? What type of terrain, what environment, even what street address?

I'm also looking for gneiss and schist, but I don't know enough to identify them if I did find some. I checked landscaping companies, but they offer rocks by color and size, not geologic class. They often don't even KNOW what type of rock they're handling. Suggestions welcome.

Hi, folks. I've been looking for nice specimens--not of specific minerals, but of rock types. Gneiss, shale, sandstone, schist, and so on. It's easy to find dealers online and at rock shows that offer minerals or even gems--but rocks themselves are harder to locate. ("They're so common that no one carries them," I was told.)

So the second option was checking with landscapers and home/garden supply stores. And they DO have plenty of rocks. But there the offerings are too generic, with no mention of the rock's classification. You see bags and pallets labeled River Stone or Gravel or "Rock Mix." At best you get a vague label like Red Rocks or White Marble(?), with perhaps a size classification--pea gravel, coarse stone, landscaping stone, and so on. Size classification is useful for industrial and construction purposes, but I'm interested in the composition.

I've checked various broad-scope sites like Ebay and Etsy, but they don't have much to offer. Should I be looking for a scientific-specimen or classroom-supply type of dealer, or even a mineral auction site? I don't want to pay huge amounts for a basic chunk of slate, but I can't think of where to look next. Suggestions welcome.

I've had no luck searching for a definition of blending on YouTube. everything I find is "Best 7 methods for blending" or "How to blend with solvent" or "I figured out blending with Polychromos."

But nobody actually says what blending IS or why it's important. As far as I can tell, it's the same as 'layering,' i.e, applying multiple coats to cover the blank spots. Is there a glossary somewhere? When and where should it be used?

Ran into this today, a nice bit of spell-shaming. SUPER annoying, since the critic was the one who was waiting in team-up asking for help.

Do we really need one ring to rule them all?

Our group has a sniper rogue. Good concept; target an enemy who's already in melee with your allies and you always get Sneak Attack.

The confusing part is the rogue's bonus-action Hide check, which follows every attack. Does this mean that, as long as he rolls well, no enemy can ever target or attack him in any way? That seems like Greater Invisibility on steroids. We've had several combats where the enemies were standing around stupidly asking "Duhh, I wonder where all dese arrows is comin' from?" There's really NO way to ever target a rogue who makes his Hide check?

Hi, folks. My group is venturing into an area of the Moonsea--an old battlefield that (unknown to them) intersects with the Shadowfell plane. Are there any published adventures that use Shadowfell creatures or locations I can refer to for ideas?

The Pet Pavilion has six games. I regularly play 3-4 of them. But I could never get the hang of Pet Drop despite dozens of attempts (I can't figure out the depth/distance element at all), and Way of the Ninja Pig was a total turnoff that I tried only once and never again. Call it too hard or too wonky or my own lack of skill, but I never touch those two any more. How about you?

Most of us have heard that hardness (resistance to scratching) is different from toughness (resistance to fracture).

Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring mineral. So what's the toughest mineral? And how is toughness measured, anyway?

I keep hearing about Evil Magma Peas being a great gardening option, but I don't know where to find them. (Other than spending crowns, which I would never do for seeds.) Are they only in late-game worlds, or only dropped by bosses or something?

I don't want to build my own water-drip assembly by hand from garden hoses, leaky buckets, or aquarium parts. I want to BUY one: a fully assembled, high-quality, premade system that's absolutely leakproof and doesn't rely on my own proficiency with Krazy Glue, soda bottles, and a metal file. RETAIL. Industrially made, preferably in a cold and impersonal Chinese factory with absolutely nothing 'homemade' about it. Any suggestions?

I can't find the option that lets you export the current view, with all filters applied, to an Excel workbook. Export to Excel is only porting the complete library. Where is the "this view only" option? Thanks.

Hi, folks. Does anyone know of any resources or info on the constellations developed by cultures other than the Greeks? In other words, 'What did the Incans/Egyptians/Chinese/Russians call that bunch of stars over there, and what stories were attached to them?"
