Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

ReplyDeleteSecurity is purely rhetorical.
ReplyDeleteThat's just...wow.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like I work for the State Dept. or something, but still...
ReplyDeleteSomething I don't understand. Google doesn't require me to change my password every month. My online bank doesn't require me to change my password every month. Amazon doesn't require it. PayPal doesn't require it. Why does every corporate network I've ever used require such arcane password contortions every month that everyone at the company writes their password down on a post-it note on their cube wall?
ReplyDeleteI think non-tech companies all read the same security "best-practices" article. And this article says to change passwords every few months.
ReplyDeleteD'oh!
ReplyDeletePaul, those organizations expect you to protect your own assets by changing your password frequently. But you're welcome not to, just like you're welcome not to lock your doors at night if you don't want to.
ReplyDeleteYour company mandates that you change frequently, because they're protecting their assets, not yours.
My password is "Invalid". that way if I ever enter the wrong password, my computer tells me what my password is.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Casey Garske. Tech/security companies make us change passwords frequently too.
