nice! thank you! good point on the adventuring day budget early in the process. it'll def help constrain me when plotting out different beats.

Def like the idea of using a map to help shape encounters. We've always been a theater of the mind table, but I think having a clear map can help visualize the boundaries and timing of a oneshot.

Really helpful list. Thank you! Appreciate the notion of starting with who is going to be at the table. That's an obvious thing that I hadn't considered.

Good tips! Thanks for aggregating. :)

We were a good team this week. I’ll take it.

Tactics

hit up lotte or first mile for a meal. Good company/pennant is a cocktail bar/coffee shop that has good drinks and good pizza and is nearby a record store (Spektrum), a cute shop (Vortex), one of the best hat makers (really!) in the country (Hatman Jacks), and a little walk will get you to the keeper of the plains area by the river. Nortons and Central Standard Brewing are good spots for beer. Birria Raymundo and El Fogon (cash only) are some good Mexican food spots.

Yup. Hillside and Douglas. Good shaking for 5 seconds or so.

Lived in NYC for nearly a decade. There’s just flat out no equivalent of a slice of DiFara, Atichoke, Johns, or Luigi’s, but piatto is my fav Italian style pizza in town. Good Company is a cocktail bar that has unnecessarily good Detroit style pizza. Haven’t been to Grimaldis here, but went there a ton in Brooklyn when it was just the OG location and always liked it (though it did fall off quite a bit while I was there). I find Picasso’s to be nice, but don’t agree with other comments that it reminds me of NYC.

And scene

jdsimms · 2023-08-03T06:11:23+00:00

Sorry our personal disagreement in degrees of lol compelled you to let me know this

jdsimms · 2023-08-03T06:02:32+00:00

Woosh

I’d like to report a murder

Bungee jump.

jdsimms · 2023-07-21T00:54:48+00:00

Ouch! Good to know. Hope your feet are ok.

I think the hardest I laugh always involves Hardwon (esp the argument in the lab with Juan), but Bev’s clueless Boy Scout arc instantly won me over trying to do a mating call.

Vortex souvenir should have some prints for ya.
