Weird But True: 01/31/25
A crew of gardeners banding together to beautify a formerly fallow scenic site are now pleading for people to stop illegally scattering human ashes at their riverfront respite.
Paul Caruana, chairman of the organization, said volunteers have recently had to clean up after 15 different instances of unwanted ash adornment. “It’s not funny at all. People say ‘well it is only ashes’. Well, you get a mouthful yourself and tell me if it is a pleasant experience — it is an awful thing to happen,” he said.
“Two things need to be considered — firstly, it is illegal to spread ashes on the ground without the appropriate permission to do so. In the United States, guidelines vary by state. At popular locations such as national parks, mourners can request a special use permit from the National Park Service for what is known as “memorialization.”

Project Sigil: A 3D Sandbox for D&D, Not Quite a VTTWizards of the Coast's Project Sigil, a 3D sandbox tool for Dungeons & Dragons, is in alpha testing. While branded as a sandbox rather than a virtual tabletop (VTT), it offers immersive features like 3D map building, customizable miniatures, and animations. Project Sigil aims to complement their web-based VTT, Maps, and relies heavily on player feedback to define its use case. The tool's visual style is reminiscent of videogames, with a focus on 3D environments and interactive elements. However, it still requires traditional aspects like dice rolling and character sheets for core gameplay. Project Sigil's future is being shaped by playtesting, with expanded invitations planned for February.
