Today I went to UC Davis’ one hundredth Picnic Day celebration. I’ll just be doing a few pictures or today’s post.

Picnic Day is basically a county fair that takes place on a college campus.

First there was a couple of speeches and then a parade!

There were about seven Deloreans in the Picnic Day Parade. This is just one of them going down the street.

After the Parade my wife and I went to see the Disc Dogs competition. The dogs have to catch a bunch of frisbees in one minute and bring them back to their master. The dogs get more points for more frisbees and if the frisbees are thrown further.

After lunch we went to see a cool local rock band, Crow Canyon! The three members, Riley, Nathan, and Drew, are in high school. You can check out their music at http://www.crowcanyonband.com/. They have free music samples!

We went to a small petting zoo set up by the stables. We got to pet some young cows, sheep, and goats.

And I also got some new pictures for the blog in general of horses and CORRALS.

That’s it for now!

Setting the Stage Podcast

75 – Masks, Capitalism, and Coming of Age (Joel and Critical Bits) – Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Joel tells us about his actual play podcast, Critical Bits! The campaign was a teen super hero story using the Powered by the Apocalypse system Masks. The Masks system is great for teen drama and coming of age stories for superheroes that still live with their parents, have school, and don't know who they want to be yet. Joel and the players did a great job of capturing those feelings in a world where superpowered individuals are under threat. The government attempts to register all teen superpowered people and there are tons of organizations looking to kidnap superpowered teens to enslave them. Does good win in the end? Well… probably. That's how these stories work, right? Right?You can find Critical Bits on your podcast app or learn more at Joel's website: https://www.doyouvalidate.com/do-you-validate-network/critical-bitsJoel's current show is called Oddity Roadshow that you can check on on his website as well: https://www.doyouvalidate.com/do-you-validate-network/oddity-roadshow-podcastFor the latest news about Joel's next project you can follow him on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/doyouvalidate.bsky.socialOur website: https://gocorral.com/stsWant to be on the show?
