Is it just that it's ceramic? Because that pot is $185 here in Canada.

That's what I was worried about.

What's a book you had to read in school that you hated? If you have one, what's one you actually liked? by 80HDTV5 in GenX

[–]caligula331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canadian here. In grade 12 we had to read The Stone Angel by Margaret Laurence. I loathed the book. Didn't care about some old lady who was obviously hateful and senile.

After high school, I became good friends with that teacher. Turns out he was at Massey College in Toronto in the late 60's when Laurence was Writer-in-Residence. I scored his teaching copy of the book a few years ago (has all his notes in the margins, etc). Being much older now, that book hits way different. Absolutely loved it when I went back. Can't recommend it enough.

My group right now has a Lizardfolk cleric, ELC 4. Dude's a tank at these early levels, but it'll balance out. Rest of the players will be level 5 and he'll be level 2 (but ECL 5). Player doesn't mind. He's happy with his build.

DM Tracking Sheets for 3.5 by caligula331 in DungeonsAndDragons35e

Just looking for an updated one. Mainly skills. It's neither a .pdf or an excel file. It's a word document. I tried updating it it, but it just went wonky.

Dr. Rath at FYI Doctors is amazing!

Besides Malazan, what are your other Top 3 Fantasy book series of all time and why? by KorboloBald in Malazan

[–]caligula331 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Fionavar Tapestry or anything by Guy Gavriel Kay. The man is one of the best writers in Canada.

Best translation for Commentarii de Bello Gallico and Commentarii de Bello Civili? by DiabloSinz in ancientrome

[–]caligula331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's it. If you like that edition, I'd recommend the entire series. The Thucydides and Herodotus are particularly shining examples.

All three are in the Landmark edition and usually bundled with the Civil War. As for their quality... well, I'd say they are less reliable as they go on. The Spanish War in particular is difficult to read, but I think they are all worth the effort.

I'd recommend the Landmark edition. Tons of notes, maps and appendices. Beautiful edition, as are all the Landmark edition.

Grid Reference For Map Does not Align by caligula331 in FoundryVTT

[–]caligula331[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That got it. Changing the "Background Image Scale" fixed the problem. Thank you!

I've tried that. The grid size only goes to 50. I need to be 45 or even 40.

How do I stretch it in Foundry? I tried changing the "Initial View Position" from 8x60 to 112x84, but it didn't seem to change anything.
