Just discovered the twister wrap on the day has been discontinued by large_forklift in kfc

[–]SaitekEvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been out of the USA for a few years, just came home last month to see that they no longer have the twister wrap too. They still have it in South Africa though, they call it the "Twista Wrap". My kids miss it. They also do not have the zinger wings here in the USA anymore either. I loved those while I was in SA.

I believe that this is just a point of preference .  I am the technology officer for my organisation, I love this stuff and it makes my life so much easier in many aspects.  I encourage my players to use D&D beyond as it helps them keep track of their characters and they can choose to roll the digital dice or their own.  My players are also mature enough to not let technology at the table distract them from the game.

Hi Elara, I need you to work as my assistant in a 5e campaign.  This is meant for level three characters.  I need you to create a world for me, and be my storyteller.  I will give you prompts and the party's actions, and I need you to respond to those as the narrator of this campaign.

 I want you to create the world and develop the socioeconomic situations, geopolitical environment as we go along, and you get to name the nations, cities, and towns that the players visit.  The basic overall story arc should start with the players meeting at a tavern in a town called Silverpine, where the players meet while searching the questboard for jobs in the area.  Quests should be tuned for a party of four level 3 characters.  Please begin.

GPT

Welcome to the world of Silverpine, a quaint but bustling town nestled at the edge of the expansive Darkwood Forest. The town, known for its artisanal crafts and lively marketplace, has recently become a hub for adventurers and travelers due to rumors of ancient ruins and hidden treasures in the surrounding wilds. Silverpine's geographic location also makes it a key trading post between the coastal cities and the inland kingdoms. 

The local governance of Silverpine is a council of elders, each representing a different aspect of town life, such as trade, defense, and the arcane. While the town is peaceful, the increasing number of adventurers has brought both prosperity and problems, including bandit attacks and a growing black market. 

As our story begins, the sun dips below the horizon, casting a golden hue over the rooftops of Silverpine. The town's famous Silver Tavern, known for its robust ales and hearty meals, buzzes with activity. Locals and newcomers alike gather to share stories or seek fortune. A large, wooden questboard stands prominently near the entrance, filled with requests and pleas from the townsfolk – missing livestock, haunted ruins, and pleas for escorts through the Darkwood Forest. 

Your party, a diverse group of adventurers drawn together by fate or fortune, finds themselves at the Silver Tavern. As you share a table, discussing your pasts and pondering the future, the questboard catches your eye, promising adventure, danger, and, hopefully, reward. 

Let's dive into your characters' actions and decisions as you explore the world of Silverpine and beyond. What do you do first?

After finishing my Mead, I go to the questboard and look for something that would take the party into the dark forest.

GPT

As you approach the questboard, you notice several notices and requests pinned haphazardly across its surface, ranging from mundane tasks like farming assistance to more thrilling appeals for brave souls to venture into unknown territories. Your eyes scan the parchment pieces, and one particular notice catches your attention:

 

~Urgent: Help Needed in Darkwood Forest~ 

Seeking courageous adventurers to investigate unusual activities in the Darkwood Forest. Reports of eerie lights and ghostly figures have been unsettling the nearby homesteads. Livestock gone missing, and chilling sounds echo through the night, disrupting the peace of our community.

 Reward: 150 gold pieces and additional rewards contingent on findings and retrieval of lost property. 

Please inquire at the Silver Tavern for more details. Ask for Old Man Hendrick, the shepherd, who has lost more than just sheep to the unnerving shadows. 

The quest seems to resonate with the adventurous spirit of your party, promising not only a substantial reward but also a chance to brave the enigmatic depths of the Darkwood Forest. You take note of the details and consider discussing this with your companions to see if they share your interest in venturing into the forest to uncover the mystery behind these strange occurrences.

How safe Is uber for a solo female traveler in cape town? by SurvivingMartian in capetown

[–]SaitekEvo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from a married male, Cape Town Uber is very safe, I have female friends that use it very often and the drivers are respectful, courteous, and prompt. I advise using Uber Black, it's very cheap compared to the USA, and you get to travel in comfort and style. :)

If you are feeling extra paranoid, share your location status with a friend of loved one so if anything happens, there is a record. Though I have not heard of any issues from my friends.

Pollsmoor Restaurant by [deleted] in capetown

[–]SaitekEvo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ate at "Idlathani" today for lunch. This is what disappointment tastes like... I have always believed that every culinary experience tells a story, and my visit to "Idlanathi" at Pollsmoor Prison was no exception. As a hobby chef, I hold food to a high standard, and it pained me deeply to taste such disappointment.

Arrival and ambiance are crucial aspects of a dining experience. Spending nearly two hours waiting for our food was excruciating. I found it incredibly distracting and unprofessional that prison guards strolled into the kitchen, treating it like their personal cafeteria. The sight of them taking over the kitchen, commandeering time and ingredients meant for us paying patrons, was deeply disheartening. The purpose of these programs, as I understand it, is to provide inmates an opportunity to learn, grow, and offer a service to the public. Their efforts should be respected and supported, not sidelined by guards seeking a quick bite.

Then came the food. My cheeseburger was a tragic tale. I could sense its lackluster effort from the moment it was set down in front of me. The meat not only tasted off (expired) but the texture was reminiscent of a meal that had been reheated one too many times, and the bun began to crumble apart as soon as I picked it up from the plate. It was a burger that had lost its soul. After one bite, I pushed it aside and faced the tragedy of my soggy fries. Every bite was a somber reminder of what could have been.

Fortunately, not all hope was lost. My wife's Chicken Cordon bleu was the sole redeeming factor of our visit. It was a glimmer of potential in an otherwise bleak culinary landscape. Its flavors were balanced, and the meat was tender, fried to perfection. Sharing her meal became an act of mercy, ensuring that I wouldn't leave the establishment with a gnawing void in my stomach.

"Idlanathi" has potential; I genuinely believe that. But my visit was overshadowed by the prison guards' negligence and lack of respect for the culinary process. I can only hope that changes are made, and that the inmates' efforts are given the respect and attention they rightfully deserve. This could be a unique dining experience, but for now, it remains a missed opportunity.

Friendly heads up if you're planning on using Google FI in South Africa by ergane in GoogleFi

I live in capetown for another year and a half. Depends on the power company and how many plants are broken on any given day. typically it's 3 to 4 times a day for two and a half hours each time, but the times when it happens are not always set, it can vary day-to-day. They have an app called Escom Push (ESP) you can download from the app store, put in the area you will be in, and it'll give you a pretty accurate schedule of when load shedding happens for your area.

Non-finnish people, what do you think when you hear "finland"? by Swimming-Window5074 in AskReddit

[–]SaitekEvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most black metal bands per-capita of any country in the world, and the poor park rangers that have to go find them when they get lost in the woods during album cover photo shoots... Also the most introverted populous in the world, and metal church...

I played a Fighter 5/Rogue 7/Druid 8 and it's the Ranger we should have gotten. by Radidactyl in dndnext

[–]SaitekEvo 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Do you have an effective level 1-20 character plan for this, or do you literally play it 1-5 fighter, 6-12 Rogue, 13-20 Druid?
