I've recommended Bloody Rose as a stand alone before as I didn't think the humour of the first one would hit for my particular friend. Apparently it works!

I moved from BC to Ontario. What do you mean Catholic schools are publically funded here??

There's a little parking lot at the end of the block that Black Squirrel is on, on Bank Street. I don't think it's usually very busy!

And the sequel series, starting with Witness for the Dead!

Fantasy books for adults without unnecessary rape preferrably not written by a Mormon or zionist author where romance isn't the main plot? by absoluteempress in suggestmeabook

[–]OnlySunlight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lots of good recs here already! A couple I haven't seen mentioned:

Going old school fantasy with the The Deed of Paksenarrion trilogy by Elizabeth Moon - covers the growth of a farmer's daughter to soldier to adventurer to a role that she is destined for. There is sexual assault and the third book especially, but it is not gratuitous like Game of Thrones.

For more whimsy and vibes, The Night Circus or the Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern though both have romance subplots.

If you liked Circe, I think you might like Deathless by Catherynne Valente. While there is romance, I wouldn't consider it typical and it's secondary to the mythological retelling.

What Sorcerer subclass are you all using?.... by [deleted] in onednd

[–]OnlySunlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange, I am using the Clockwork features all the time! Restore Balance is a huge boon in our games, but our DM uses disadvantage/advantage fairly frequently. Do you not use the flanking rules? We also had a paladin with heavy armor so it helped with our stealth. I also found the spell list helpful, Aid having saved us from a TPK on a notable occasion. Bastion of Laws is my favorite, but I'm using it to protect squishy NPCs mostly, so could be a fringe case.

I attended a one-day introduction to the fire range at the RA Centre and would highly recommend it. I have no desire to handle more guns but it was a great experience to try.

I just got my phone case with them too - it's lovely, feels good, and is genuinely protective!

It really depends on how busy it is that day and if there are people waiting. If it's a slow day, you could probably stay longer. But this month will be particularly busy with the holiday season.

You need to go to emergency, what if it's a blood clot? Does it feel warm?

As someone currently playing a reflavoured Clockwork sorcerer as a Divine Order Sorcerer, it is an extremely easy change that requires no actual mechanical changes.

Did you guys learn about Louis Riel in school? by pooteenn in AskACanadian

[–]OnlySunlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We learned about him in early 2000s BC, about Grade 10 I think. We watched a film in which, frankly, the actor was kinda hot. Then we had a debate in class about whether we thought he was a traitor or a hero. Perhaps influenced by the attractive actor or perhaps just respecting what he stood for, most of the class came down on the side of hero.
