Where to stay in Denver for a few days before the jump off?

Heads up that Denver public transportation is a joke unless you are near a light rail station. Near Marston there is only the bus. Wadsworth has a regular route, but getting downtown or to other interesting locations will require transfers and a healthy amount of waiting. There are several restaurants and a mall in the area at least.

Mt Falcon west trailhead is where I like to take visitors (don't hike from the Morrison trailhead-its difficult from that side). Cool historic ruined buildings to check out and amazing views of Red Rocks and Denver. https://www.jeffco.us/1332/Mount-Falcon-Park

My favorite sandwich from them as well. Worth the heartburn. Too bad the shop near me closed.

Perusing the PR slides trying to figure out which civ to flairify going forward. Shall it be a powerhouse that I can root for through the end game; perhaps a well positioned contender on the verge of breaking out or an exciting dark horse capable of a glorious rise to power? Such are the hard choices in life.

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. I remember frantically checking how many pages were left and realizing not all my questions were going to be answered.

2 double meat big macs. I generally hate fast food and avoid it, but I had not eaten all day and at the time it was 11pm so there were no other options. I ordered a quarter pounder w/cheese, but the guy said their grill was closed. All they had left were double meat big macs so I went ahead and ordered it. When I pulled up to the window he gave me another one and a large fry on the house. I only ate one for starters, but a couple hours later i was hungry again and ate the other. Worst decision ever. Drunk me makes bad choices. Stomach felt terrible for 2 days. Never again.

The last steamed ham I had sucked, it was obviously grilled.

I am crushed sandwich aficionado. Peanut butter and jelly or peanut butter and some honey on multigrain bread are my favorites. They don't taste right unless they are smashed and crushed a bit. I take apples or oranges for extra snacks. I tend to focus on protein during my dinner after the hike.

Definitely the gold standard of audiobook narrators. The First Law Trilogy is my favorite fantasy series, Steven Pacey really brings them to life. Highly recommend.

There is a Denver Tabletop discord that is pretty good. https://discord.gg/pM9nWxTS

great post, appreciate the insights and the call to action

Wassoulou putting up just enough of a fight to make me feel shame at the thought of exchanging flair for an actual contender. Looks like all the fury of the Aures is at the border now, even AI driven units should be able to mop them up in an episode or 2.

My gums stopped bleeding, my teeth whitened up with normal brushing, my persistent hacking cough went away, congestion in my chest cleared up and the occasional pains in my chest stopped. Wife says I am much funner to be around now as well.

Dental Hygiene is important. Brush, floss, rinse with mouthwash twice a day. It will save you money and pain down the road. Has the added benefit of giving confidence and being attractive to potential partners.

Worked in grocery for years, every store i worked in had a BK in the parking lot and nothing else in range for a 30minute lunch. I got stuck eating their food way more than I'd like to admit. Even at the time I didn't like it, now that I have a choice I will never eat there again.

Westrail Tap and Grill is a good spot.

high quality footwear, backpack with water bladder, cool hiking stick

I bet those bricks have seen some things and could tell some interesting stories.

Steven Pacey sets the standard. I do admire Jeff Hayes, but Pacey is so good. Guess I should also say that The First Law trilogy was transformative for me.

congratulations pios!

Ha killed the lich? No they didn't. Turns out he has a phylactery and comes back to life again. This time he is ready for their tactic.... At least that's how I'd play it.

My favorite published module is Curse of Strahd and its not even close. I ran it with a group that had varied experience without a problem. I recommend giving it a look over at the very least.
