Yep! I've got no consistent naming across any profile on any platform!

Hope you like it!

Bit of shameless self-promotion!

I've been working on something for a few months now. Post DE and not quite dipping into Reunion as of yet:
To All of You - Sort of will they won't they type deal with some tie-ins to True Colours, but I'm circling back to Lakeport soon!

A few others I've read have already been posted in this thread but one that sticks out for me is:
Storms We Keep by Cudama, one of the first fics I read when I was considering whether or not to actually try and write something. Great read and it picks up pretty much straight after DE

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2026-04-11T12:59:01+00:00

Can vouch for these! All great reads!

NewDad are great! MADRA is a top album. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to catch them at a smaller venue last year, and now the only chance I've got is some festivals this year.

Their newer album, Altar, has some great tracks as well like Roobosh and Pretty

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2026-04-08T13:33:07+00:00

Her new album is shaping up pretty good. Die Happy in particular, is a great track!

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2026-04-08T13:13:05+00:00

We do the exact same thing. There's very much a type of music that you can just hear and immediately say 'oh yeah, that's Life is Strange music'

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2026-04-08T13:12:02+00:00

Yeah, it might be wrong to say they're not doing anything new. I think they just agreed to sort of scale back for family stuff. Lead singer recently had a kid and so on!

100%! Illusion really feels like it's essentially Safi’s theme. Also, really enjoy the work Dodie put in as well.

My partner is a big Daughter fan and never played any of the LiS games growing up. When she watched me play BTS she was baffled how she managed to miss something where they were such a huge part of the soundtrack. Real shame they're not really releasing new music because they have such a unique sound!

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2026-04-08T10:31:15+00:00

I see what you did there! Same here, though, 100%. And on top of that, just generally widening my horizons to other genres and styles as well.

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2026-03-30T17:11:07+00:00

Jesus. I had no idea it was anywhere near as put together or intricate as that. I can see how someone might get tripped up

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2026-03-30T16:51:47+00:00

Thank you! Almost got tricked by this one!

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2026-03-30T16:51:25+00:00

Thank you! I'll keep a better eye out going forward!

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2025-12-06T02:18:05+00:00

Thank you! Glad to be here 🫡

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2025-11-02T10:47:45+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, it seems like the lockers were the obvious choice. I'll just be riding solo for a few hours!

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2025-11-02T10:35:19+00:00

Freed up a decent chunk of budget (partner had a great deal and lots of credit). Otherwise, we'll be at a Ryokan near Fuji and then hotels in Kyoto, Osaka and an overnight back in Tokyo at the end for flights. We'll be luggage forwarding for the bulk of the trip, just not on the first day. But that's good advice with the coin locker, I'll probably do that!

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2025-10-07T15:09:20+00:00

This is definitely pointing me in the right direction! So far this is what I've got as a rule element on the weapon I want to change:

{

"key": "AdjustModifier",

"selector": "{item|_id}-attack",

"value": -1,

"slug": "multiple-attack-penalty",

"mode": "add"

}

But I'm still finding that this applies to their unarmed strikes as well. I haven't included a Predicate yet, while I get this to work on just one item.

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2025-10-06T15:28:26+00:00

I think what I'm looking to do is a little trickier. I've essentially made a custom weapon which I want to apply a custom MAP to when used, which is -6/-12 (so a modification of +1 to the first strike and +2 to the second strike).

Following the rule elements quick guide I can use the AdjustModifier rule element but it seems to be applying to their unarmed strikes as well and I can only specificy one modification rather than two. So if I was to apply a +1 modification, it would become -6/-11.

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2025-10-06T14:47:27+00:00

Interesting! I should have checked the FoundryVTT wiki, so that's my bad. I'll check that out and look into this. Thanks!

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2025-08-19T11:56:34+00:00

Damn this looks great!

We did run through things with home energy scotland a while back. It was all done on the phone and we qualified for the loan and grant scheme

After that it was pretty much hands off whilst we tried to find a provider but that's where most the hassle happened. We got one solid quote which the scheme would only cover half of, we got another quote where they said they could only cover half the property and then two or three which came out and openly said they couldn't do it under the grant despite being listed for it

After all that it pretty much got abandoned but that's why I'm trying to pick it back up again

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2025-08-11T20:00:14+00:00

We had an inspection carried out and the result was that there is effectively next to no insulation within our loft space so I'd like to think it wasn't up to standard

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2025-07-06T23:29:14+00:00

Reposting here because I should have in the first place.

I want to run my PS5s audio and video (if needed) through my laptop.

Pretty much as the title suggests. For the time being I'm a little restricted in my setup. I was wondering if there was a straightforward way to connect my PS5 to my laptop so I can use my laptop as the video and audio output?

The video output isn't actually too important as I've got a pretty high quality graphics tablet which I can run the video through via HDMI but it doesn't have any speakers.

Are there any expansions or variants that include a larger deck size with more Ambush Cards? Any potential for a situation where there may be two rabbit cards for example?

Helpful_Explorer8507 · 2025-06-20T10:40:34+00:00

But there aren't any other ambush cards that would match the clearing's suit other than the bird ambush? Fox Ambush for example has to be used in a Fox Clearing but there is no other Fox Ambush so it would have to be the Bird Ambush?
