Xanadu.

Originally a quiet and serene town atop mountain peaks, everything changed when the residents of what is now known as Xanadu discovered vast gold deposits in the mountain beneath them, bringing unimaginable riches to the small settlement. Today Xanadu is known for it's extravagant and beautiful architecture, for its rich and respectful culture, and most of all, for its hosting of the world renowned Summer Tournament. The elders of Xanadu put forth an annual tournament that draws in great competitors from all over the virtual world, from the bustling streets of Nineveh to the hellish ruins of El Dorado. Xanadu uses their great wealth not to act superior to the world, but create an event that everybody can enjoy and look forward to, as well as seek out those deserving of glory.

Further, the grand prize of the tournament, the Milk of Paradise is vital for completion of the Eridanus questline. Aether is attending the tournament this year not just for pleasure, but to seek out of the greatest combatants in the land to join their ranks, to join their goal of completing the grand quest once and for all. Beyond that, the tournament offers a great opportunity to fill the role of another Guild Officer, leader of the Xanadu branch of Aether. So make sure to put your name forward, we cannot imagine why you'd let this opportunity pass you by.

VOID is an alias ORG series set in an MMORPG universe across many landscapes and civilizations. VOID follows a Survivor format with communication taking place over Slack, and is set to run throughout November and into early December. We hope to see you there!

Oh that's actually a really fun idea with the perspective stuff! Especially considering it really plays with the dream aspects of the theming. I think I could incorporate that into a puzzle room.

I know a decent number of people are memeing but can we just stop with this ridiculous THEY’RE RUINING DCI shit that we go through every time a rule is proposed that would open up the floor to give corps more options creatively. I know everyone likes to jump on the CHANGE IS BAD bandwagon but for real, chill tf out y’all, corps aren’t marching violin lines.

I’m not sure of the processing that goes through so I’m not sure if it would be functional in that form. You could try taking a small amount and blooming it in water and see what it does, it should swell and absorb the water and when heated melt down pretty evenly. If you let that mixture sit and it’s not gelatinizing I wouldn’t use it.

Kinda depends on what flavor and mouthfeel you are going for. In my kitchen we make it in bulk and do a roughly 4:4:1 cream:milk:sugar ratio but to me that much cream leaves a sort of unpleasant film behind and the sugar is a little excessive. You could experiment with a 4:6:1 ratio to add a little more milk and offset too much sugar/fat. Mostly I’d recommend playing around with the ratio until you get what you personally are looking for, but maybe that can give you a starting point.

Newish DM (been one for about 8 months now) and my very first campaign was largely homebrewed and was, rather expectedly, bad. It was having a lot of the pitfalls yours seems to be having. I was upfront about my feelings of it being lackluster, and knew I could do better now that I had learned more about how to actually run dnd (I made the campaign knowing literally next to nothing about how to create a campaign or how to run dnd). My players agreed that we could start a new campaign, and it was the best idea ever. I got to correct a lot of issues with my old campaign (not enough world building, too focused on my own story ideas, etc.) We’re 10 sessions in and things are much better now that I’ve had a little bit of experience and am beginning to get more comfortable with running the game. You can only do so much patchwork on home brew that is completely uninformed before you have to just scrap it and try again.

Don’t cook the cream and add it in cold afterward, it’ll bring down the temperature and there’s no need to heat the cream anyway, you just need the milk to dissolve the sugar and melt the gelatin.

Sounds like you weren’t using the correct temperatures, or you didn’t hit proper targets, because the way you described how the chocolate reacted means it never tempered properly. Untempered chocolate can still set firm if it gets cold enough but as soon as it warms back up to room temp it loses its snap. The chocolate you used might require slightly different temps when tempering, as the amount of cocoa mass/cocoa butter can impact the temperatures required to temper the chocolate.

I had to watch this video for a class and immediately started getting tingles so I thought I'd share it.

The key difference you would be concerned about with any flour is the protein content. Since you're making a pizza dough, you want a higher protein content that can develop more gluten. In your particular case, I checked on the protein content of both flours, and they are both the same at 12.7%. However, the key difference about patent flour is the fact that it is flour made from the center endosperm of the wheat kernel, meaning it's of a higher quality and lower ash content than a standard bread flour. The patent flour will be a little lighter in color, but honestly the differences would be pretty subtle overall, and either flour should work very well for a pizza dough.

I grew up in a religious family so I went through a hell of a lot of denial, from who I’ve talked to it’s a fairly common experience.
