24 days of dragons. This year my wife made a D&D-themed advent calendar for our little one who's into all things dragon, and D&D in particular.

• In the background, there's a colorful, mostly red advent calendar with little boxes denoted by day numbers and the word "dragons" on one side. In the front there are two objects extracted from the calendar so far: an icosahedron shaped box of sweets and a d20 die.

This was a lot of fun! Way creepier than the last several updates have been.

I did some source code snooping but this update was really straightforward. It branches at the start based on whether you trusted Yao or not (for now, the distrust Yao route is unimplemented) but after that, nothing in the route varies based on your prior choices.
