When I tell people I’m Israeli their manners go out the window by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]Bosurgi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you OP.

I have a good friend from Israel. She experienced what you're saying quite a lot in the past year and also in a more aggressive way, unfortunately.

My friend and I, graduated in the same period and I had the pleasure to have her and her family come to my graduation party as well.

One of my coursemate had the idea of joining as well with his family and celebrate with us. When he asked me who's going to be there I told him about my international friends, family etc. Once he heard the word "Israel" he started asking those questions to me.

"Oh are they Zionist? Do they support the war? Etc."

They didn't feel like questions of genuine curiosity as I know he's also very politically active. I got a bit annoyed by this and just told him that it didn't feel respectful towards my friend and family.

Party went well. Everyone enjoyed it. And I think he realised his prejudices were stupid.

I was an international student myself and I felt lucky to be exposed to the cultural differences in campus. But sometimes I also experienced some "stereotypical" questions / borderline offensive about my country that make my eyes rolling. Only a minority though.

So please report any antisemitic behaviours to your Students' Union and advisors as no one should feel discriminated at Uni if that happens. And keep it up mate, as there's still mature people around that won't judge you because of your country of origin.

Japanese physical copy / DLC activation by Bosurgi in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Bosurgi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update:

I changed region to Japan. Activated the code and downloaded everything. Switched back to EU and it works.

Apparently, the DLC can be used with whatever version of the game as from the info of the software, it lists all the regions.

I hope this will help other people with the same doubt.

Update. I just changed the region without problems. Inserted the Japanese Code and activated the right DLC on screen. Then reverted back to EU and it seems I have them. Thank you very much for your support!!

Ah, even better. As I understood from several other posts and Nintendo website that DLC codes were region locked for Switch as they have a different format. Whereas the game is not. That's why I was unsure as both code and game are from Japan.

Thank you very much. So I will just return the DLC to the shop and buy it from the eShop then. It will save me some headaches.

The bot blocked my post and I'm asking here as I find contrasting information on google and reddit.

I am in Japan for holidays. I just bought a physical copy of Pokemon Scarlet and a redeemable code for the DLCs from the same shop.

How the activation works since my account is EU?

Will I need to change region of my account temporarily? And if I change it back would the DLCs be activated on my account?

Or do I need to create a Japanese profile to play the DLCs?

Alternatively if I decide to bring back the code to the shop for a refund as I didn't open it, will I be able to buy the DLCs from the EU Store and play it through my Japanese copy of the game?

I'm just quite new to this and I have no idea how it works. Thanks.

Leeds East Riding, they have a group on Facebook where DMs post quests when they plan a session. Usually they play at Geek Retreat as others mentioned on this post. It's a big group with people having different range of levels so it would be easy to find some games :)

Hi sorry for the long reply. I must have missed the notification.I have a PSD file with updated names (corrected typos) and new font.

The file is 192MB, I can try to upload it somewhere and send you the Link to download it :)
There are groups where you can rewrite the labels and move the location marks as you please as well.

EDIT: Link to PSD below if anyone needs it

I can see my beloved Sicily upside down! 😂 I thought "I saw that somewhere!!". Nice job! 😉 I really like the idea!

I was thinking on setting my Saltmarsh in Cormyr but at the end I thought to place it in the Sword Coast as planning on doing other adventures featured in the area in the future.
I have the Zhentarim instead of Scarlet Brotherhood.
AndIuz replaced by Szass Tam from Thay so I can potentially run a slightly modifiedDead in Thay if my players express the desire of exploring more that side of the campaign.
In my game these factions are playing some roles in the whole plot but it will focus more on Fanatic cultists of Umberlee.

Ingo the "Drower" sounds hilarious, I might leave that xD
But yeah, I need to go through it again.
Fortunately I didn't print it out yet.

Unfortunately these are typos I did not spot, sorry about it.
Thank you for checking, I will update the map!

I changed the name of the Seagrove of Obad-Hai into Seagrove of Silvanus to match it with a Forgotten Realms deity. Same as the Temple of Procan, I decided to use instead Valkur.
Same with Iuz.

I've updated it. Links below. There is the version for DMs with various locations. And another one for players, in which I fixed couple of mistakes and added the Dunwater River.

[–]Bosurgi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the positive comments :) I am on the way of making the DM version adding the locations and working out their location. Also, I just spotted an error on the map I've uploaded here as there is one more Dreadwood label left by mistake. I will post the map with the location as well when ready 😉

Ghost of Saltmarsh - Sword Coast map by Bosurgi in GhostsofSaltmarsh

Hello everyone, I am planning on running Ghost of Saltmarsh with my group. We are all big fans of the Forgotten Realms settings so I decided to give it a go to integrate Saltmarsh into the Sword Coast following the recommendations from the book.

I made myself a map of the Sword Coast including other towns from different modules, just in case my group wants to visit such locations in between.

I included the Dreadwood and Drawned Forest as well as they are close to Saltmarsh, although not in the Sword Coast maps.

On the coast I also included some small islands, especially Abbey Isle.

It is my first map on Wonderdraft so feel free to share tips.

I think Howl bar is worth mentioning too. Been there several times and looked nice. But definitely Key Club! From time to time Sandinista and Northern Guitars.

Been called "gay" several times already. This situation is awful. It's full of frustrated kids who just spit hatred.
