#TTRPG question I have a city which is in layers. a couple actually. surface streets, which are on top of a cliff, catacombs, a 2-3 underground levels for people who belong in/prefer the underground. these lower levels can be reached either by ingress/egress from the surface streets, or directly through the cliff. are there any mapmaking software tools that can handle that? most I&#39;ve seen assume one layer, and granted, that is the norm.

O my sweet summer child ``` “I’m not surprised. It’s corporate America,” the longtime Oracle worker told The Register. ”[...] I’m someone who carries my laptop with me all the time and, if there is a problem that I’m working on, I don’t care if it is the weekend or Christmas, I’m going to work on that problem until it’s solved.” . . . “I&#39;ve been Uncle Larry’s biggest fan,” he said, referring to Oracle cofounder, chairman, and CTO Larry Ellison. “I’ve seen stories about toxic work cultur...

it&#39;s ridiculous, all the arguing over what-ifs with the US 2024 election when world war 3 is starting now oh you think I exaggerate? who is Iran&#39;s neighbour? Pakistan? a nuclear power who... is at &quot;open war&quot; with Afghanistan right now like it or not Kamala Harris is not the president of the US and spending your energy arguing over how she would act in this situation is a diversion and waste of energy. stop it #uspol
