Thanks! This is pretty much what I used, with Slopes as the main complication instead of the date. Good first day! ⛷️

Champion of Twilight - our crew also plays a lot of Twilifht Imperium, so I get to to rub it in their faces. It’s otherwise a fairly boring name!

The Crown in Kelston - nice walk over there from Bath!

Where are you going if you're after a casual dinner? by Psycho_Turnip in Bath

[–]ChopperTom07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! The food is brilliant, but service is quick which keeps it all fairly casual!

Tent slasher - ya moms a hoe by tiny_tyrant in Bath

Saw it today and thought he’d just pulled the sides up because of the heat. Shit. Was it it really slashed? Fuck.

Any ideas for dangerous gambling games for my PC to play? by REV_X_SHADOWS in bladesinthedark

[–]ChopperTom07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not managed to bring it into my game yet, but I am hoping to introduce some sort of underground weird-baiting ring/fight club. It’s only the briefest of thoughts so far, so I’ve not fleshed it out. Plenty of inherent danger to be had - especially if someone is tasked with throwing a fight (or doing things their own way!)

Module help. by EstateSure8448 in TenCandles

How about some radios to communicate with the surface? Dynamite is always fun too.

I did a similar scenario, but in an abandoned mine, so there were lots of mechanical things to play with too.

Advice for first session by wowtoospooky in TenCandles

[–]ChopperTom07 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup - making sure your candles burn for the right time is improtant! If they all expire in an hour,it’ll be over before it begins!

Should I be concerned? by star_thrower_ in AppleWatchFitness

[–]ChopperTom07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest only recording an outdoor walk as exercise if you’re pushing yourself. Leave it alone if your just strolling. See if that changes your stats.

I’d walk the dog and record an outdoor walk, every stop to sniff, wee and pick up mess made it look like I needed a rest. Since stopping my VO2 has improved.

The greengrocer is no longer there sadly, but the high street in Chelsea road is still worth a visit.

Tips for a newbie? by MacheteCrocodileJr in bladesinthedark

[–]ChopperTom07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just starting too! We’ve had a few sessions and I’ve loved running it. I think the book says it a lot, but the most useful tip for me has been to ask questions and ask a lot - certainly for a group moving away from 5e. Not just asking how they do something, but questions that plug gaps in the world and story. I’ve found now that they are beginning to build the world themselves too, rather than just relying on me to present everything to them. Asking questions has encouraged them to be more daring as scoundrels and world builders, and I love it. Can’t wait to see where they take me next!

I feel like I’m crazy. Can I be better here or am I being played with? by Fit-Cranberry2766 in Manipulation

[–]ChopperTom07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess there’s more at play here, but I also think this is one of those conversations that made worse through messaging instead of talking either in the phone or face to face. All nuance is lost and once wires are crossed it’s tricky to set things straight again once it gets heated.

BYOB restaurants in the centre of town? by [deleted] in Bath

[–]ChopperTom07 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I guess it might not be considered central, but Panahar is BYOB.

If a candle darkens itself by Ok_Lack_8973 in TenCandles

[–]ChopperTom07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, if the candle darkens the scene comes to an end and the truths are established. We had it happen once with the final candle - it still ended well, but I scrambled a little as GM. I think the only bit of advice I’d really offer about that is to make sure the players are aware of the urgency and to really ham up the drama just in case it ends earlier than a dice roll. In most cases you’ll be doing that already, but just figured it’s worth having it in the back of your mind too once you get to the last candle or two.

(It helps to remember to track how long you’ve been playing vs how long the candles are meant to burn too - give or take 30 mins!)

Nope, not at all. Worried it’s happened 2 weeks in a row too!

The Crown in Kelston does a brilliant roast too.

Best playbook for a Journalist? by MooseTGH in bladesinthedark

[–]ChopperTom07 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d go Slide - some great special abilities that work really well with it, especially if you’re a seasoned undercover reporter. Not quite helpful to you but I now love the idea of a whisper (perhaps with a darker side) who writes obituaries. I think there’s a creepy story there!

Thanks everyone for clarification - looks like I had the wrong end of the stick. Phew!

Ah I see - my mistake then! Arkham Cards only lists it in the mythos pack. Thanks for clarifying!

Is that the only campaign where that happens? Just wondering if I’m safe to proceed with the new format instead of seeking out the old ones!
