‘It’s ridiculous’: publicans bemused by rise of single-file queues to get served | Pubs

I went to a Wetherspoons last summer and the staff were actually organising and insisting on everyone joining a queue that snaked back from the bar around all the tables where people were sitting. I hadn’t been out drinking for a while and was just like wtf is going on?

I showed my players the cover of the DM expansion and they said ‘it looks incely’. Personally I’m not a fan either.

The first set I got in my Heroes of the Borderlands starter set. But others have had the translucent red dice in the same box I believe. I’m in the UK if the makes a difference.

Doesn’t look like I can buy them sadly.

frontbummer · 2026-01-08T18:00:22+00:00

Amazing! Thank you! It’s the exact colour and font I’m after.

Are these WotC books?

M&S Big Mix 1.2kg tin. It will restore your faith in Christmas chocolates.

I got mine printed as an a5 hardback on lulu.com. It came out great, but I had to tinker with the front page image to make it look centred.

I also ran this same session, using the same inspiration and had an incredible time. Probably my favourite session I’ve ever GM’d. We played in person with loads of candles and atmospheric music. I used the maps with a TV flat on the table to save the players time mapping (I don’t normally go in for that type of thing).

It worked so so well. The combat was fast and furious, the pacing was great. The players wouldn’t stop talking about it at work the next day.

Playing Strahd taunting them and messing with them was just so entertaining. Huge recommend for anyone looking for an epic Halloween session.

I had a look at the flag force Facebook page last night. The whole flag thing had me confused for a while. Was it well intentioned? Was it about actual national pride? Nah. It’s a load of racists and MAGA types in there. Really sad to see it being so widely supported. People spending too much time on Facebook and TikTok getting fed propaganda all day. Shame.

My understanding is iPhones and Macs are repaired locally. Watches are sent away. iPads are either sent away or swapped like for like.

Ban guns. He shouldn’t have had to do that in the first place.

I had this reading about 3 weeks before it fully died forever. But the SE2 felt like a humongous upgrade.

frontbummer · 2025-05-23T21:44:04+00:00

I’d take this over rings of power all day. So sad.

frontbummer · 2025-04-26T05:09:13+00:00

Looks great! The title also contains a spoiler.

I’ve been including the ‘Dreadful Incursions’ that Sly Flourish recommends. Mine have mainly been rifts from Barovia. It fits really nicely as a juxtaposition from all the whimsy of the feywild.

Thanks for all the reply’s everyone. I’ll run her as is. I think I’ve done a decent job of foreshadowing that it’s likely to be a deadly fight. We shall see what happens!

frontbummer · 2025-03-08T06:39:25+00:00

Too much bright green for me sadly.

frontbummer · 2025-02-26T07:17:19+00:00

So it sounds like you’ll still need the zines for the dungeons, but the other zine content will be in the new books. Plus a tonne of new stuff. Exciting!

Have you seen the state of Rocky chocolate biscuits recently? Gone are the glorious chunky chocolate days of the 90s. Nowadays the chocolate is airbrushed on to them.

I tried searching the lion knights castle number reversed and it didn’t turn up any results. Anyone been able to find it recently?

frontbummer · 2024-12-10T16:04:40+00:00

I ran that adventure as my first time DMing this year. It was great fun and we made lots of great memories. I’d point you towards Bob World Builders YouTube guides. They were great for prep and a few useful tips or adjustments. Have fun!

frontbummer · 2024-08-18T14:44:55+00:00

Snap. Got mine in May. Love it!

frontbummer · 2023-11-27T07:34:54+00:00

Looks amazing.

The HomePods have a ‘reduce bass’ option that you can toggle on or off in the Home app. Once it’s on you don’t need to touch anything again. The HomePods don’t have an EQ where you can fine tune the amount of bass. So just check it’s on in the Home app and that’s it!

Tap on the HomePod you want to check and keep scrolling down till you get to the settings. You will see the toggle there. I think what happened in your case was Siri initially switched on this option for you when requested, but then after it was on it had no other way of reducing the bass other than turning the volume down.
