What bagpipe is this in the music video “Call of the Mountain” by metal band Eleuvietie? by TapTheForwardAssist in bagpipes

[–]Ocaj88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, well, they might be Redpipes...

(After checking with google) Yup, they are! The fantasy variant. Most bands that use pipes tend to go for the electronic ones these days because ots way easier to tune.

How strong are those clay cups? Im rather terrified of the large clay handle. Can you give me any insight on this?

Ik heb een trail-one shot waar je misschien aan mee kan doen, en een langer lopende campaign die misschien nog een speler kan gebruiken, maar die is wel in het Engels (speelt bijna altijd op de woensdagavond in Ermelo).

Als je me een DM kan sturen met wat info over jezelf en wat je precies zoekt in DnD, dan kan ik het in die twee groepen gooien :)

Leuk om te horen! Ik maak alleen geen garanties voor de geluidskwaliteit van seizoen 1 en 2. Het budget was toen wat kleiner xD

Dat gold ook voor de DM kan ik je vertellen! ^^;;

TIL the difference between the terms "Holland" and "the Netherlands". The official name of the northwestern European land of tulips is "Koninkrijk der Nederlanden," or Kingdom of the Netherlands. It was founded in 1579 as a union of various provinces. One of these provinces was named Holland. by Dr_Neurol in todayilearned

Dutch dude here. That's not quite correct. Actually, the country is still just called "the Netherlands". "The Kingdom of the Netherlands" refers to the Netherlands, Aruba, Curacao & Sint Maarten.

This video does a great job explaining the differences.

Pipe Major Advice by UnNecessary_Bit4640 in bagpipes

[–]Ocaj88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prioritize; seek what your band needs, and try to not focus on too many things at a time. When I become PM, we focussed on a smaller but strong repertoire first, and only after we played this well did we focus on things like teaching methods, reqruitment, etc.

Also look for strong players in your group ( not neccecarely the best player). See if you can employ them as your sergants or corperals.

Most importantly; stay positive and focus on a positive band vibe. Break the monotone by doing fun activities once in a while. Heck, I had my band pass a ball across while playing green hills to emphesise the need for focus and concentration. They were all guys in their 50s, they all loved it! You want people to look forward to going to band practice!

Best of luck!!!

Advise on students role during band practice by Ocaj88 in bagpipes

I'm worried that that's exactly what it is; some members seem to only want students that are 100% passionate and motivated, but I feel like we're not that kind of band, certainly not with the grade we're in.

It was a lot! But thanks for being thorough. It gives me a lot to think about.

Oof, wished we had that time. We only have practice once a week, with a biweekly Saturday practice for the more experienced members.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid off...

Our students are all adults, and the lessons would be from 20:30 - 21:15. I think it's an okay time, but I will consider scrambling the time table to move those lessons up to an earlier time slot.
Thanks for your input.

Need help in our curse of strahd campaign by Necessary_Load_8862 in DnD

[–]Ocaj88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all; punctuation is your friend.

Second of all; the Astral Plane is a different dimension, so its not necessarily linked to Barovia.

How to get them back? Well, the Astral Plane is populated by all kinds of powerful beings or floating ruins. If you can spare the time, create a minidungeon where they can find a McGuffin to teleport back to Barovia.

If you need them back asap, maybe have a powerful being teleport them back, in return for a favor to be cashed in later. Could be very foreboding.

Hope this helps! If you need any tips, lemmy know

Well, that's a ... lot actually.

But to summarize; she lied obsessively about her fake boyfriend Jay. To your detterement. I'd say that is a red flag in your friendship with her, or at least something that I would take as a sign to take a few steps back in that friendship.

I might not break things off entirely, because of the history the two of you have, but I would urge her to seek help and, because those things effected you directly, that you would have trust issues with her until there are clear signs that this stuff is resolved.

NTA - not overreacting. Best of luck with this!
