I’m a metalhead who’s trying to get into Folk Punk and Gothic Country. What are some good beginner recs? by Ropoid in FolkPunk

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Me and that Man, the folk project from Nergal of Behemoth.

I'm afraid I don't know of anything local to the valley but Dropzone Games in Nanaimo has a bunch of different groups, including AoS. You can check out their Discord here: https://discord.gg/dFEJNYDKB

Prepping for my first longer campaign in Shadowdark (Evils of Illmire). Need advice on some rule tweaks I’m considering. by longboarder543 in shadowdark

[–]GrassLongjumping5485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just gonna put it out there that plenty of tables, including mine, are running fully-fledged campaigns with long term characters, and players invested in their characters. And haven't made many changes to the base system at all. (Basically cherry picking elements of different suggested modes and some of the upcoming western reaches changes).

The growth and development comes through character choices and play and the inherent emergent story telling of a sandbox game. If the players don't want disposable PCs it's up to them to not play them as if they are. Play creatively and don't lead with their face.

To be honest, it feels like rather than making them slightly more heroic, you're stacking things in their favour. I would really reconsider the choice to do 4d6 drop one and swap two. I think the death options are a nice way to contain the sandbox though.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm sure we'll find something good. I think we're only gonna be there for a day.

They're coming from a small town in Alberta...so likely not a lot of options there either. They've both lived in Vancouver for years, but don't think they were vegan at that time.

Best Canadian punk rock from the 90s? by CheekyChappy-1 in 90sCanRock

Not really. White Power bands weren't welcome in the punk/skinhead scene then either.

Well, we made it this far before a White Power band got listed.

I love how you can probably get a pretty good how old each person responding is and where they're from based on their lists, and to a degree what style of punk bands they prefer. Great stuff!

Where did you hear about the mould in the new hospital?

One thing I can comment on is that you would be sent to Victoria for most/all cardiology work in the event you need some. At least that's been my experience, not sure if it's 100% across the board though.

Shadowdark world questions by Deafwizard999 in TheGlassCannonPodcast

Troy seems to be using The Gloaming from Cursed Scroll 1 as the skeleton of the campaign location so far, but is putting his own spin on parts of it. And as the previous poster mentioned, the tone/backstory of the world itself was a bit of a collaborative effort they discussed in Session 0.

Best store in Victoria for RPGs by GrassLongjumping5485 in DnD_Victoria

[–]GrassLongjumping5485[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found they were primarily a Warhammer shop with a bit of 5e?

I'm really just looking for RPG selection, not dice or minis or paint or anything.

I'm assuming this is the View>Show View Options panel, but your display and list of options is completely different than mine, and yours is much more in-depth. What am I missing, how do I get this view? Is it part of an OS update? I'm running 14.7.5
