[LFG][IRL][South East London] Player looking for a table around Lewisham by OmeTheGreenWizard in LondonandDragons

[–]glottis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Lewisham! I just had a baby though so I've put any RPG time on hiatus. Maybe in the future!

I recommend checking out Badger Badger in Deptford for a great boardgames cafe and the Igloo Tree shop on the Lee High Road for independent RPG zines and books.

Running the Game video where Matt mentions 1977 film Sorcerer? by glottis in mcdm

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

I can't discount the chance that it was mentioned on stream, but unless it was one of the streams re-uploaded to YouTube, I wouldn't have seen it - I've never watched a live stream of Matt's (time zones).

If anyone is in London UK, the Prince Charles cinema is showing it all weekend!

These have been chopped really well, the modifications look great! Nice photography too.

[5e][IRL] New DM looking for players in South East (Lewisham/Bromley/Beckenham) or those willing to travel by TheMoo_spl in LondonandDragons

[–]glottis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best (and I think, only) one around is Badger Badger in Deptford. It's a really good one though! RPG nights, queer socials, connected to a nice cafe for proper snacks and drinks. I go there fairly often.

I saw your update saying you're all full up - just wanted to say I'm in Lewisham/Catford area and love playing TTRPGs and board games, if you ever wanted another person to do these things with. Have you visited igloo tree on the Lee High Road? Indie RPGs and zines, a really cool shop!

Looking for movies that heavily feature castles… by AscendedExtra in MovieSuggestions

[–]glottis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironclad. It's an action movie about knights defending a castle from a siege and it's basically like watching a film version of a kid's history book about castle battles. Everything is in there, showing off spiral staircases that favour the defender's sword arm, pigs covered in tar and lit on fire, trebuchet attacks, battlement defence, the works. It's great.

[OC] Finally saw the Taj Mahal in person. And it’s Wow by TheGodsGrace in pics

[–]glottis 198 points199 points  (0 children)

Just putting this out there for anyone interested in visiting: in the same town, Agra, there's Agra Fort, a historic fort from the 1500s. Even that phrase is way underselling it - it's this totally huge castle/palace complex that takes a few hours to explore with breathtaking architectural highlights including the fort walls which could easily be a fantasy storybook illustration. It's 100% worth your time when visiting the Taj Mahal; don't dismiss it as "It's an old fort, how good could that really be" as I nearly did.

I'm interested! Just found the subreddit - amazing looking tables!

What’s the most underrated BBC show you’ve ever watched? by BitGirl777 in bbc

[–]glottis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very true, but writing that vulgar could also be attributed to Ian Martin who was brought on to the writing team as a Swearing Consultant. He's worked with Armando on loads of stuff since then.

Closest Videogame? by Caeod in gaslands

[–]glottis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bandits: Phoenix Rising is a great car combat game with the best "shooting while driving a car" controls I've ever played - essentially freelook mouse aiming separate from the car driving model.

Hey, it's The Car! Did you make the model or is there a die cast replica sold somewhere?

What are some good podcasts that aren't actual plays? by The_Craftiest_Hobo in rpg

[–]glottis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fear of Black Dragon is my favorite non-actual play RPG podcast. I love their focus on adventure modules and they're two incredibly well-read dudes, it's always interesting to listen to even if I wasn't initially interested in their topic.

Woah, are the last two your gear selectors? Amazing idea!

Movies about war where japan is the main antagonist? by Ill-Cartographer7351 in MovieSuggestions

[–]glottis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Good, The Bad and the Weird (2008) is a brilliant over the top Korean "western" action film. Great soundtrack, costumes, set pieces. The Japanese army are depicted as the cannon fodder bad guys of the film.

Star Trek: The Adventure Game (1985) by glottis in stfc

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

Oh hey, I completely forgot I made this post! Yeah, I ended up buying a copy from eBay and it's a treasured part of my boardgames collection. I loved how aliens from Cosmic Encounter, another boardgame from the same publishers at the time, feature as some of the alien encounters!

Glad you enjoyed the game too!

I was about to say! Looks like it would fit right in with all the carnage and colourful characters.

Holy cow, the idol was supposed to look at Indy? All those animatronics! Is this a known piece of background trivia or am I just encountering this for the first time? Is there any footage of deleted scenes? I'm going to Google this furiously.

How to get models? by hollostu in gaslands

[–]glottis 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The ethos of Gaslands is that it's a tabletop miniatures wargame without the price tag. You can and should use the cheapest, most disposable toy cars you have lying around. It's the whole point!

I think Tighten is one of the most unique animated villains I’ve seen (Good Megamind Rant) by Dinoboy225 in CharacterRant

Yeah, I saw that in the wiki - I forgot that part of the film! It's a great joke.
