    As one who plays an elvan ranger, one can never have too high a Dex. Saving throws for the win!

    Absolutely! Sadly, I'm talking about whoever it is who was responsible for rolling up my stats, not those of one of my characters 😔

    Eh? That isn't your call. And you should't treat those players any different. You GM games that pillory people who don't choose the highest possible IQ because you overuse vision rolls. You don't have any say over what ends up as a dump stat.

For some weeks I thought about what to do with it, and eventually decided that the usual path of making contact prints or photograms with it was a bit too dull, and that I would build a camera and take photos with it.  Now I am by no means the first person to do this - although the idea of producing cyanotype camera negatives is surprisingly recent. As far as I can tell, the first person to do it was photographer,  John Beaver, in 1999 - over 150 years after the development of the chemistry ! More recently, blogger Nag on the Lake published a how-to for cardboard cameras in 2019. Meanwhile, Ray Christopher has been experimenting with using cyanotype paper as a medium-format negative.
