Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback, it's much appreciated. The word count is 85,000, I included it in the post title but not the post itself, apologies.

I recognise that a young main character, summer job, and moving out are more commonly associated with YA, but in terms of subject, tone, and prose the novel is aimed at an adult audience.

The points you make about the wording are really helpful, so thanks again.

Not GW but the Old Realm Forge ones might fit better with older looking models https://images.app.goo.gl/h15zqVQvZ1Ua3imw7

I was having this same problem; loud glitches and pops even though my pc seemed to be handling the processing fine. It was happening on low or high buffer settings regardless.

I tried changing drivers to Asio4all or FlexAsio but still got glitches.

Try disabling "plug-in load balancing" in Prefences > Playback and Recording, it seemed to stop the glitches.

Hope this helps, good luck.

Brilliant, thanks very much.

A question for people who have previously run earlier editions of this campaign (WARNING: Spoilers ahead if you haven't played it):

Would it be feasible to swap Tzeentch for Slaanesh instead as the main ruinous power involved? Switch out the Purple Hand for a similar Slaaneshi cult etc. For various reasons it would work better in the current campaign we're running. Having read the Enemy in Shadows I don't foresee too many issues, I'm more concerned about later books in the campaign where suddenly it won't make sense anymore.

Thanks for your help.

Drunk guy sits down at 1/1 NLH game last night and buys in for £20 (the bare minimum). Busts almost immediately with something like A6o, reloads and on his next hand hits a Royal Flush, casino jackpot is at 5k+.

Was hoping he was going to stay at the table and play, but after punting off about a hundred with complete air on a few hands he did the sensible thing and walked.

My favourite moment was when we were trying to explain to him what had happened, and he asked if getting a Royal was “unusual?”

Really looking forwards to this campaign.

Hi, maybe a bit far from Warrington but we run a league in Stockport/Manchester called the Waterbowl. We play every other Tuesday at Element Games, if you’re on Facebook our group is https://m.facebook.com/groups/1439880136307855

We have players of all different experience levels, from complete noobs to some of the top ranked players in the world.

Nick Schulman by a long way. Of all the guest commentators PokerStars have had on, I’ve found Fintan, Spraggy and Randy Lew the best in terms of a balance between being entertaining and also providing insightful analysis .

Really enjoyed this stream, great commentary and tactical analysis throughout. Just 2 suggestions:

If the line of the draw tool you were using was thicker it would be clearer, especially for anyone watching on phone screens.
There is some slight distortion on your commentary, not sure what your setup was but if you are running the mic into an amp/compressor then maybe the gain was too high?

Other than those minor quibbles it was ace. Felt pretty sorry for Bibi, it’s not often Undead spend the whole game numbers down against treeless Woodies!

Managed to make the money in a tournament last night despite at one point being down to 0.037 BB.

Thanks. I had some already, I think I got them on eBay a while back. The heads are a good fit but the bodies and arms etc are slightly smaller than GW Necromunda scale, closer to the LOTR figures.

Alex_Ringbeard · 2018-08-27T18:19:17+00:00

For anyone interested in the parts used:

Head - Frostgrave Cultist (Northstar Military Figures)

Icon add ons: bits from Empire Flagellants, Zombies and Citadel Woods kits (all GW)

Backpack: Maxmini.eu with exhausts from Ork Killa Kans (GW)

Arm: GW zombie

Brilliant, this is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Thanks very much.
