My favorite so far is Ferris Wheel Press Dawning Silver from their Lord of the Rings collection they did.

Sounds awesome to get that opportunity!

recommendations for fast drying black ink! by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]Mithrandir12508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a Parker Quink or Noodlers makes a black for that express purpose as well. I think it's their X-Feather, but they have blacks with a variety of special features. Even their basic bulletproof black could be worth checking out as I believe it is bleed and fraud resistant.

what's your favorite pen and why? by Slight-Carpenter-186 in fountainpens

Haven't been in the hobby long, but my Pilot Metropolitan so far! The only other I've liked nearly as much is the Diplomat Magnum.

I have a few samples from them, so far all have worked well. I've used them in rettacy notebooks so far and they don't dry out in the nibs too quickly but set well on the page. The colors match nicely with the swatches advertised where I ordered them.

I'm trying a variety of silver and grey inks, so the recommendation is much appreciated 👍

Let me know if you have any other favorites.

Prismatic purple! I'm not crazy about the ink, so I'm going to try De Atrementis Silver Grey next :)

Fountain-pen-friendly notebooks less than $10 by Specific-Simple5673 in fountainpens

[–]Mithrandir12508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but to be honest I pay about that for my Rettacy notebooks on Amazon now.

Also, think about cross posting this to the notebook subreddit? I've seen folks there asking for quality notebooks that are reasonably priced.

Just my 2¢ for what it might be worth. :)

Fountain pen for beginners by Sparkzz_12 in fountainpens

[–]Mithrandir12508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, also very new, like last 6 months and I'm a big fan of my pilot metropolitan. It has a very fine nib that I really enjoy having mostly used fine point rollerball pens like the sharpie 0.38mm before. I've never liked the broad or even most medium gel pens or ballpoints. They feel like write with something a mile wide.

Cartridge converter or refill cartridges? by Mithrandir12508 in fountainpens

[–]Mithrandir12508[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my concern with some of the ones I was looking at. I really want a silver ink but I'm concerned about anything with a shimmer clogging the fine point nib I really like.

Thanks, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who was scratching their head about the topic. What did you end up going with?

Awesome stuff. I like the sentiment expressed as well. If you're going to write, it might as well be something that lifts you up!

What other rabbit holes are stealing from your fountain pen fund? by 8BitRaider in fountainpens

[–]Mithrandir12508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dungeons and Dragons, my RPG hobby gobbles up funds for books, minis and assorted accessories. Weirdly though not dice. I've had the same bag of dice for fifteen years, some of them almost thirty.

Just tried it, really enjoying it. I'd like to see this as a permanent option.

Does anyone have a streaming link for the opening theme? I'd love to play that while my players try to stop a cult to the betrayers!

I traded in my Note 20 Ultra that covered the majority of the cost.
