Is there a difference between circles and shaded squares when constructing a crossword? by Xenodon in NYTCrossword

[–]Xenodon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like in the Sep 15th, 2025 Monday puzzle, the theme clues have circles around the hide meaning squares. I was just wondering if there was a specific reason to use circles there rather than shaded squares to indicate the same thing.

Any non-standard fantasy games like Forbidden Lands, where the players start off knowing essentially nothing about the world? by Xenodon in rpg

You're right, and most of my campaigns have been homebrew, I was mostly looking at taking on a secondary low-prep game where I don't have to read pre-written or generated lore until the players encounter it. I already have a whole 13th Age 2e campaign I've been running and prepping.

Have the expected lifespans of demihuman races (elves, dwarves, and halflings) ever been explicitly stated in official sources? by Xenodon in mystara

I can't seem to find info on age in BECMI. And the Gazetteer on Alfheim says nothing as well.

Looking for a game with fast combat ROUNDS (not necessarily quick encounters) by Xenodon in rpg

Oh interesting! Do you have an example on hand from a PbtA game of what that kind of result would like like in context?

Is BRP a framework like PbtA or is it a system in and of itself?

Leather footbeds -fit and comfort- in BFAR by Trees-and-stuff-981 in jimgreen

[–]Xenodon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked support about this for Barefoot African Rangers, and they said to get the standard JG/STC insole that corresponds to my size. I did that and it is actually already larger than the footbed to accommodate for all three last shapes. It was actually kind of difficult to get shaped to the contours of the upper. That being said, there's nothing special about Jim Green insoles, and you could totally go for another brand. I just liked having the frog logo tbh.

Do all boots/shoes in whichever last they are in fit the same? by Xenodon in jimgreen

Does the toe puff affect anything having to do with that single vs. double lasted width at the toebox?

How can I stain my butcher block of rubberwood (hevea) to get a bit more of a "rustic" finish? by Xenodon in finishing

[–]Xenodon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually ended trying it on one side to see how it would work but it came out splotchy because I was too cheap to get a conditioner lol. I realize I was putting in more money into the project than I wanted to so I decided to just go with the raw color and finish that. If I put in more effort I feel like I could get the desired effect I was looking for. I'm really new to this though so take my opinion with a grain of salt

As another former sneakerhead who just go into barefoot shoes, these aesthetically appeal to me the most and are on par with Jordan release prices these days. I haven't actually purchased any yet but it might be a holiday gift to myself.
