    When was the first exoplanet discovered? You might read it was in 1992, but in fact the first evidence for the existence of alien worlds was found before then. Way before then.Like, in *1917*.I love this story.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/when-was-the-first-exoplanet-discovered/

    I've been doing this for a while, but it's a problem I've never solved. Dunno if it's my crust recipe or something I need to do during construction. The recipe is as follows: 1c water, 120°F 1 packet dry active yeast (2.25tsp) 1Tbsp granulated sugar 2Tbsp olive oil 3.5C white flour 1tsp salt Mix the yeast and sugar in the warm water, wait to bloom Add everything else and mix into dough. Knead, proof Roll out, transfer to pan Second proof (optional) Preheat oven to 425°F Construct pizza with favorite toppings Bake at 425°F for 15min or until cheese is sufficiently browned Step 7 usually has jarred marinara, meats (except pepperoni), spices, and cheese, and all the veggies (and pepperoni) go on top. Still, the very middle part of the pizza ends up a little doughy, just where the sauce meets the crust. The outside of the pizza is just fine, but the only thing I can think is that the sauce is adding too much water. Do I need to add a layer of oil before the sauce, or should I try to reduce the sauce before adding it? Should I reduce the temp and increase the time? Thanks!

    Welcome back to Advent's Amazing Advice! The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible! *New: For 2025, I'm updating all my old work to be more accessible for the Visually Impaired! Check out the link below, which contains improved notes with larger font, better contrast, color-blind features, and more! The Delian Tomb is a Level 1 Introductory One-Shot based on Matt Colville's first episode of his Running the Game series on YouTube. This adventure begins in the backwaters of a small kingdom; It's a quiet place...most of the time. Recently, there has been an influx of goblins in the region, and some of the foul creatures have even begun attacking the farms on the outskirts of the village. Your players are all friends, just traveling through, in search of adventure. It isn't long before they find themselves mixed up in the business of Goblins and pursuing a kidnapped child into the depths of a long-forgotten tomb. This is their opportunity to prove themselves and to rescue someone in need...if they can survive the perils of The Delian Tomb! Without further ado: Google Docs Notes for The Delian Tomb (Nyx): DM Notes (New) Link to: DM Notes for the Visually Impaired Link to: The Delian Tomb Playlist (Nyx) Link to The Delian Tomb PDF: Version 1 Link to: The AAA Collection + Original and Second place versions Included in The AAA Collection is: Downloadable copy of DM Notes, including links to music tracks for ambiance and fights Special PDF for all encounters. This includes the enemy stat blocks organized neatly, along with an initiative tracker and a spot to mark HP Spellsheet Handout for the Goblin Shaman Custom Maps As always, if you see something you think I can improve, add, change, etc., please let me know. I want this to be an amazing resource for all DMs and plan to keep it constantly updated! If you'd like to support me, shape future releases, and get content early, feel free to check out my Patreon! Cheers, Advent

    RPG tip from the archive: Let monsters act in a non-optimized way if the pace of battle calls for it. Just because a bully wig can swim doesn't mean players want to chase it for six rounds.#dnd #ttrpg
