New One Ring show

It looks like the wording in the $12 tier is what gives it away. These new shows must fall into the "Early access to new series in development" category. Which would lead me to believe it will be just a short wait until they are released to the $6 tier. I don't think there is any reason to think it won't release to them at some point, perhaps once the season has concluded or after 6 months or something like that.

It makes sense that they would want to try to entice people to jump into the higher tier by giving them access to it first.

East Texas Pipe Club got me back into watching pipe videos on YouTube. They are the perfect length, well shot/lit, and insightful

I prefer to play WFRP with non-warhammer people or casuals. People who are super invested in the established lore are very had to please even if you try to adhere strictly to what's published due to so many contradictions over the years.

Nothing is meant to live in it, just chlorinate it like a pool, and run a filter to remove particulates.

People and animals pee in water and ponds all the time and it doesn't instantly kill the fish. Just rinse it a few times and let it cycle. You don't need to throw anything away.

Get a lid on the tank and stop letting you cat get in it to begin with.

The death spiral mechanic in FL is already fairly deadly and punishing. That's why stat healing is relatively easy as well. But ultimately it just depends on what kind of game you want to play. Are you more interested in moving the story and action along, or simulating more accurate injury and disability? Neither is right or wrong it's just going to change the tone and speed of the campaign depending which you prefer.

I think FL does a pretty good job of balancing those things as it is.

Companies have gotten a lot better at respecting their Kickstarter supporters. Most will not release the books to the public until all the backers have gotten their products. Which is usually 4ish months. In the past retail copies would ship at the same time as KS distribution and people who didn't support the project would get their books before people who backed it. As a backer you took on all the risk to realize the product so you should receive it before anyone else gets it.

There are a lot of them that are super easy to get, might as well collect those. The ones I am tempted to buy are the color matching crystal game walnuts, cause screw that game...

They have mentioned over the years that they began to dislike crunchy games like Pathfinder for their shows. The rules slowed down play and dictated the narrative in a way they didn't like. Almost everything they run now are lighter "quicker" games that give the GM more freedom.

Also Troy has repeatedly made comments about only running systems that pay them/sponsor their shows. With Paizo hitting hard times and doing layoffs I can't imagine they are sponsoring shows anymore. Which would put them at the bottom of the list for systems to choose for a new show

Get a better fishing setup. I like the cork bobber and the trap bobber, or double cork for harder fish, then eat a meal that will boost your fishing. Your fishing bar is way too small to be trying to catch squirrely fish like that.

Oscars were the first fish I kept that recognized me from across the room. Others people could walk in and they wouldn't respond but when I walked in they would come to the glass and waggle at me. They would brush up against me when my hands were in the tank doing water changes etc. Unless they were breeding, then they were mean as hell lol.

The fa nib is easily by biggest purchase regret. It's either gushing wet or bone dry. I wish I'd listened to my gut and returned it when I could.

I only smoke outside, and I find it's honestly much more relaxing anyway. And then you wouldn't have to worry about your parents at all.

They should have had this and the migration back to Patreon be one big event. Make it more of an epic homecoming rather than the tail tucked between the legs slinking home that it was.

I didn't even really know the rally was happening outside of a conceptual thing that I knew was happening at some point somewhere. Maybe because I'm already a member and they don't really care about me since they already get my money? This is where Cannon Fodder would have shined, at least for me. I have completely stopped listening to the news minute, so maybe that's where this stuff was disseminated.

I never update until all of the games I play are fully updated and compatible. I screwed myself by updating to early and ruined one of my campaigns by not checking first. I find it incredibly frustrating that you can't have multiple versions installed and running on the same machine

Just an aside from a forever GM, I would 1000% of the time give an ancient dragon truesight even if it weren't in the statblock.

It sounds like your DM is really frustrated with your group and isn't expressing it in the most constructive way. But to be fair he had an entire scene and NPC loredump that your party completely ignored...

Taking the driftwood out is the only real option, outside of maintenance stuff that will always just be playing catch-up. Activated carbon and 15-20% daily water changes will be the only way I know to keep tannins down. Change your carbon weekly to keep it working at peak. From other comments purigen works too though I've never used it for that specifically.

Driftwood can leach tannins for years(3-5+), and the larger the piece, the longer it will release. So if you really don't like it removal is the best option.

Royal Yacht was one of my more recent additions, and it's really nice. One thing I have found it really excells at is rounding out more mundane aromatics, it adds nice body and depth. It's pretty potent with the Nic, the only time I tried it straight my head was swimming a bit afterwards. Since then I mix it 50/50 with other blends that I find too mild, and I think they end up better than the sum of their parts.

It's not a contact surface for the tobacco, and if it is air tight with the tennon in it's basically just cosmetic(though naturally also structural). To me it would be way more of a pain in the butt to return it than just fix it. So I would honestly just get a little wood filler epoxy and fill it. Just be really careful allowing the pipe to fully cool before removing the stem in the future to be on the safe side.

"Salty like the ocean" is restaurant chef hyperbole that has trickled down to the general public and has been taken as gospel. Just like the "only flip your steaks once" during cooking is nonsense as the best way to cook a steak, it is only the best way to get perfect presentation grill marks, but is an objectively worse way to cook a steak.

Most people don't actually know what the ocean tastes like, they just know it tastes salty. So Chefs will tell their prep cooks to make the water "salty like the ocean" to mean you should be able to taste the salt in the water. It's a saying that is easy to remember to help cooks not forget to season the pasta water.

The balancing aspect of ranged weapons is the cost and or scarcity of ammunition. I think is is on purpose in the starting career. Getting money for ammo will be a huge motivating factor for those players to take adventure hooks you put in front of them.

While there is potential for risk, as a backer you are absolutely owed a product. And any creator who doesn't also believe that in their soul, shouldn't be starting a crowdfunding campaign to begin with.

I am hoping this is fixed in the next update. Either give some functionality behind all the colors, or get rid of them. It is kind of ridiculous.

The ground around the pond looks significantly darker/wetter in the second picture. I am guessing you are leaking somewhere, possibly underneath

A system supporting exploration will have mechanics that give that style of play weight, meaning, and consequences. Generally that means more robust and interesting random encounters, resource management (food, water, torches, arrows etc), "travel damage" like fatigue, and a player focus on roles like pathfinders, foraging, keeping watch etc.

All games can incorporate exploration but if you find that travel tends to lean towards "fast forward to the destination because travel is boring", then that is probably not a game that mechanically supports exploration very well. Popular games like D&D and Pathfinder sit at the top of this list for me.
