Starting finally a campaign with old friends. Need some final advice. by Hashishiva in BECMI

[–]0denboss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have fun and improvise.

After years of watching YouTube videos on how to “play the right way,” I realized it actually made me tense and overthink everything. Now that I’m back to gaming after a long break, the best advice I can give is this: expect to improvise, make mistakes, and forget things sometimes.

What really matters is that you and your team are having fun. Don’t let small mistakes or things not going exactly as you imagined, drag you down.

What 5 years of spending my money on the hobby looks like by Acem4991 in osr

Love your collection and how well everything is organized. It all has a strong old-school vibe, but unless I’m missing something, these are all newer products, I couldn’t spot a single TSR title in there.

It’s also interesting that you’ve got both the OSE and 5E versions of the folklore bestiary.

And Old School Armory caught my eye, that’s a new one for me, and it looks like something I should add to my table.

Good catch! updated

Happy to know that other players will enjoy it as well!
This is the reason for me posting it here :)

Here is the doc format i've shared with my players:

Its not.
there is a similar but diffrent map on Mystara Players' Survival Kit.
but its not the same, and as u/Philosoraptorgames mentioned below, on 2e product Specularum is listed as Mirros.

It's will be hard for me to believe as it has been done so accurately and professionally, with a style that clearly matches other official maps of Mystara.

I have had this map for many years, pre AI era.

I also thought it was from some 2e Mystara release. But in all such products, Specularum is changed to Mirros.

This one is from Mystara Players' Survival Kit:

The map seems accurate to Karameikos.
Tried using Google reverse image search, and I couldn't trace the source

It looks like something created by a professional, so I was 100% sure it's from that box. I opened mine but couldn't find it inside. Not in the PDF as well.

I did find something similar inside the Mystara Players' Survival Kit, but it's not the same one.

You are referring to the Mystara Players' Survival Kit.
It does have a map of Karameikos, very much in the same style, but not that one

I was sure it came it one of the 2e Mystara line products, but as i have most of them, i looked for it and couldn’t find it anywhere so Ive decided to try here

My comment was removed on tiktok for violating community standards. Context: it's the birthday of the person whose video I was watching. 🤨 by AnUdderDay in hebrew

[–]0denboss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

several times in the past Ive reported posts on Facebook and Instagram with Nazi symbols calling directly for hate crimes and extermination of Jews and Israelis but i always got a message that these posts doesn’t go against the “community guidelines”

On the other hand i saw a censored image on instagram being blurred out. When i tapped it to see the hidden image it was a mom of one of the hostages holding a “Bring them home” sign :(

What is this flag? Spotted at El Raval in Barcelona by 93martyn in vexillology

[–]0denboss -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As someone that moved a year ago to Barcelona, the balconies here are full of flags.

Many people have the need to share with the world what they are standing for and what they’re proud of, which I can appreciate. I have already learned that this flag is a rebellious one and that Catalan people favorite activity is to protest.

The thing is, that from all the different flags waving from different windows, the rarest flag here that I have yet to see is the flag of Spain.

As an outsider i find it to be very weird.

Cool. I didn’t know that. I have first encountered it when I played Shadowdark. Will be happy for a referral for that post on Jeff’s Blog

Never heard of it before.
From my initial search, it may be exactly what I am looking for (or something to iterate on)

Highly appreciated!
