On April 19, 2023, a Russian anarchist named Dmitry Petrov was killed in battle near Bakhmut, Ukraine. In this episode of our podcast, we offer a eulogy remembering Dmitry.
Dmitry was an uncompromising anarchist fighter who participated in an unbelievable amount of radical activity around the region. His extraordinary life spanned anarchist organizing as a teenager in Moscow; environmental defense, radical unionism, and refugee solidarity activism; years of underground direct action against police, military, and profiteers from gentrification; participating in the Maidan protests in Ukraine, an uprising against dictatorship in Belarus, and the struggle against the Islamic State in Rojava; co-founding the Anarcho-Communist Combat Organization; and finally taking up arms against Russian imperialism in Ukraine.
I didn’t mean to imply that I would run them “through” B2 “then” DCC#100. I meant to say that I would stock the dungeons and factions with the content from DCC#100, the factions/cults from DCC #100 are described as their own little mini modules with their own hooks and lore and such, so I thought I could dot them around the caves and let the players discover them. Rumors could point them to the factions and they can learn about how they are all connected by the “thing in the caves”.
B2 is super vague about the politics of the caves; it basically fills the maps with mobs and loot, then says the traveling cleric is a spy. So I thought that the monsters/loot in the cave make a pretty good cover story to keep people out, the perfect place to hide the McGuffin from DCC#100. I wouldn’t push them that way, but the adventure culminating in destroying the thing the evil factions of the cave are trying to hide feels like a natural conclusion.
Again, I’ve only ever ran one-shots, and the “traditional” open ended game I’m playing sucks as an example.
Which means it would have been either livestreamed or pre-recorded for at the height of the pandemic, possibly for a music festival that took place entirely online. Strange days they were.
Think of everything that makes you miserable as being caught between two opposing, irresistible, irrefutable truths:
"Anything that can't go on forever eventually stops" (#SteinsLaw)
"Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" (Keynes)

We lost a decade of transit investment thanks to the Uber con, at the same time as traditional taxi drivers were forced out of the industry. Uber can't be profitable and still pay a living wage, and the fantasy of self-driving cars as a means of zeroing out the wage-bill altogether remains stubbornly, lethally unworkable:
I don’t want to be right. I want self-driving cars that work. It’d be personally very convenient for me, so much so that I would buy a brand new car for the first time in my life (I’m in my mid thirties) if I had actual, robust, empirical reason to believe that they work as advertised.
