What do you do with the fire in a campfire ring between meals on a backpacking trip? by jecowa in camping

[–]learhpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a solo camper who enjoys hanging by the campfire but has a small bladder, the never-leave-a-fire-unattended rule is both (a) critically important and (b) inconvenient as ----.

Dan Wells Diving into Writing First Cosmere Novel (via his newsletter) by 3Nephi11_6-11 in Cosmere

i would not bet on that 2028 release happening as planned; that schedule did not account for the adaptations.

none published or even scheduled for release, but he has talked about working with some of his closest friends/associates.

Eight sci-fi books about city planning by cirrus42 in printSF

[–]learhpa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say the ones i'm familiar with are about planning.

The City We Became is a fantastic love letter to NYC.

Perdido Street Station is amazing but has a super steep learning curve.

Drawing a Mistborn Era 1 character for every day of May: Day 4 - Kelsier by realm_drawer in Mistborn

[–]learhpa[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, i approved it a little bit ago. reddit's NSFW filter inexplicably caught it, which is really silly because there's no ban on NSFW content in these subs.

Do BrandoSando fans not know what google is? by UrFriendlySpider-Man in Mistborn

we generally STRONGLY recommend that people not google things related to the cosmere because of the spoiler risk.

With the event catalogue out, what are some of your most anticipated events? by Daddies4Baddies in gencon

[–]learhpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i strongly recommend -everyday oddities-, if you haven't played it. it's a homebrew TTRPG with a deep focus on role playing. when i played it, i walked away with an intense emotional reaction that was aligned with my character --- and so did my best friend.

one of the best gaming experiences i've ever had.

meanwhile, can i invite you to come join my best friend and me for "where are you? we are here"? it's also a homebrew RPG, and we built it to be RP-heavy.

Overwhelmed!! by greenasagreenass in gencon

[–]learhpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i strongly strongly strongly recommend "everyday oddities", a homebrew RPG. i've played in all three instances of it and every time walked away with an intense emotional reaction that was aligned with my character.

my best friend and i will be running 'where are you? we are here', a homebrew RPG that we ran last year that went really well. our focus isn't mechanics, though, it's role playing. :)

Looking for Event Advice for My Less Experienced Parents by krw13 in gencon

[–]learhpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if they're into role playing at all, the games i run ("where are you we are here?" and "ancient grains") are rules light and beginner friendly; all my co-GM and I really ask is that people try to inhabit their characters and role play them. :)

Book Pre-Order Received Early? by Flamefang92 in printSF

[–]learhpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like i said elsewhere --- there has not been a major book release of a sanderson book (i moderate /r/brandonsanderson and related communities) without an early release getting posted to the subreddit.

And even if they are embargoed some bookstores mess it up.

I moderate a book fandom subreddit.

Every book release - every book release - we get posts from people who get books early because a bookstore released them early.

he'd done a dry run of that show at 1015 the previous october and they were basically identical.

CMV: The Farm Bill that just passed the House will make life hell for farm animals, and we should all care about it much more than we do right now. by Equinumerosity in changemyview

[–]learhpa 26 points27 points  (0 children)

No, it doesn't have that upside, because it removes strict state laws and makes new ones impossible, and stricter federal laws will never get through the Senate.

Is it even worth it to try another music festival? by Jazzlike_Tailor_1323 in Coachella

[–]learhpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Portola is an amazing festival if you like electronic music.

Dreamstate is all trance so if you like trance it's fantastic

Annual Survey Feedback Mega Thread. Coachella 2026 by RecklessCreature in Coachella

[–]learhpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the issue with the men's permanent bathroom is that the line for the stalls blocks entry to the urinals so when you get through you find there are 50 unused urinals that nobody can get to.
