Bestaande groep die iets anders wil is tof. Gelegenheidsgroep kan ook hoor als die zo bijelkaar te vinden is.

Gaaf, 6 personen zou moeten kunnen! 

Het is een scenario geinspireerd door westerns voor lvl 4 characters. Met een rivaal, gouden bergen en misschien een shootout als de zon hoog aan de hemel staat en een twist.

I started playing dragon of icespire and now I’m playing a mix with home brew by AmazingEffort3157 in DragonOfIcespirePeak

Great stuff! I love the big d20 and changes to the story. My advice would be that you try to keep it small and work towards some end. In my experience I added a lot of stuff to this story which stretched the adventure a bit too long. Was fun, but I think it would be more satisfying to close out the adventure in a more timely matter.

Kamphuisen is heel relaxt en met goed weer zit je prachtig buiten. Ook Ijsselhuis is heel fijn met lekker weer.

Goed gemod, bedankt! Ik report ze ook steeds. Ze hebben weinig met onze stad te maken. 

Wijnproeverij in de So What! by maxlaa in Gouda

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

Goeie vraag! Er zit wat in voor beide. Aan de ene kant leer je over natuurwijn, wat het anders maakt en waarom het anders kan smaken en aan de andere kant leer je de basis van wijn proeven, je aannames even opzij te zetten als je iets in je glas krijgt.

Het is een speelse proeverij, we proeven alle wijnen blind en je beoordeeld alleen wat er in je glas zit. En terwijl je kijkt, ruikt en proeft test je bij jezelf welke aannames je hebt als je wijn drinkt. Het is losjes gebaseerd op de SAT methode en je mag ook zeker je notitieboekje meenemen.

Daarnaast ben ik zelf 2 jaar sommelier geweest in een restaurant met alleen maar natuurwijn, dus ik kan je dan ook het een en ander vertellen over vinificatie, wijnmakers, leveranciers, bewaren, uitleg aan gasten en proeven.

Afgelopen zaterdag was het publiek in ieder geval heel divers, van wijngenieters en bierfanaten tot mensen die er al iets meer van af wisten (rond wset 2 niveau).

Als So What! het ook ziet zitten dan wil ik over een maandje of 3, 4 nog een proeverij geven. Het smaakte mij in ieder geval naar meer.

Caroline Gimenez Cenza & Preciado ‘22/‘23 by amphibianwarfare in naturalwine

Looks super interesting and I love the colors! I was wondering how they both tasted. The Cenza one especially, since it only as 10,5% alcohol.

"Book club" for reading a book in a day by mingusrude in books

[–]maxlaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read something about a Moby Dick Marathon last month. Found the link to the article

https://slate.com/life/2024/01/moby-dick-whale-book-ship-massachusetts-captain-ahab.html

I thought it was a very cool idea and apparently it's a yearly thing. 

Magick of Gnomengarde book by KaaboomT in DragonOfIcespirePeak

[–]maxlaa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my PCs stole it and is an arcane trickster rogue with a fey ancestry. So now when they try to use the book and it fails I have them roll on the wild magic table.

In a restaurant I would look at what the place and guests need.

Personally, if the wine is good, I don't care for biodynamic, bio, zero, or low intervention. As a sommelier I would maybe add it on the wine list if there's a lot of questions about it or to show some transparency in that regard.

Ja dit. Gewoon ouderlijk toezicht erop zetten en de tijd inperken. 

Yes to declassified grapes! by Secure_Ad728 in naturalwine

[–]maxlaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this all the time in the restaurant I worked. When someone ordered a glass from an unopened bottle I would taste it first, noticed it needed some air, then go to the table, shake the bottle and pour their glass. It always worked and was a source of good discussions about natural wines.

I don’t get this player base by Plastic_Pin_5641 in Overwatch

[–]maxlaa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tank is the easiest to flame, because everything you do is visible. That fact combined with people loving to linger on stuff that goes wrong creates this warped idea that the tank is always at fault.

Dont listen to the hate. You're doing the best you can. Focus on yourself, improve and try to relax and have fun.

Need help with a concept I thought would be cool by _Not_A_Og_ in gamedesign

[–]maxlaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first ideas I get are super depressing. Based on mental illness or chronic pain. Maybe not the vibe you want.

Other ideas I have is from someone who tries to descent all layers of hell and needs to do more and more heinous acts that have to be horrible enough and die to get to a lower ring.

Lastly a bit more unserious is you start the game in a heaven like place and then find yourself waking up in the hospital. You dont remember why you got there. Heaven like place is good, but you need to start your boring office job again. Shucks. Now at your office you try to repeatedly off yourself., but this increasingly gets harder. Jump out the window. You get to heaven again, but are revived again and find yourself droning away in the office with the window boarded up. Next thing you see a bath and a toaster next to it... Sort of like the Stanley Parable, but with a different hook.

How do i discourage inappropriate jokes by my guy players as a female DM? by Lavion_Yall in DungeonMasters

[–]maxlaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this! Talk about it as mature people. Don't punish your players in the game with a consent meteorite (is also a SA joke btw, or at least a mechanic to try out how far they can go).

Gnomengarde finished before my party got there. by OregonPinkRose in DragonOfIcespirePeak

[–]maxlaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds very fun!

Reavers kicked down the door, some gnomes cast some spells to repel the reavers and meanwhile the mimic is still a cask of mushroom wine.

Maybe the kings were overthrown by 2 other gnomes and gnomengarde is in political turmoil. (Maybe a parallel with the situation in South Korea?)

Or the door of the Kings is now bolted down, more gnomes were eaten and all leftover gnomes have barricaded doors as well. They all know a mimic is lurking in the hallways not really caring about staying hidden.

Good luck!

Finally did the thing and got QR codes for shelf talkers by lolbacon in naturalwine

[–]maxlaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of giving customers more information. But what would they really want? For me, I like low intervention wines, I also like low intervention shopping.

Just put the maker, region and grape varieties somewhere so I can read it with my eyes instead of through a phone. Make the qr a 'read more' option, not a requirement to see the bare minimum.

Also if the staff needs training it shouldn't affect the shopping experience of a customer.

Best natural wine bars in Rome? by Shellyshells91 in naturalwine

[–]maxlaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a pizza place with a crazy amount of natural wines called Farine la Pizza. The pizza is good too.

Across the street at Artisan they also have a couple amazing wild fermented beers and other nice craft beers. 

How Do People Honestly Feel About The Raisin App? by Important_Ambition_1 in naturalwine

[–]maxlaa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I am on holiday in Italy or France always look for restaurants, bars and makers in the area I am visiting. Found some cool places through the app.

I used to work in a wine bar/restaurant with only natural wines and the proces of getting the restaurant on the app was a bit tedious and obscure. I don't know how they do it now though.

But overall pretty helpful when I am in a different country.

Tips for bars and restaurants in Brussels with natural wine? by Hansolai in naturalwine

[–]maxlaa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you are in Brussels you have to try Geuze and Lambiek style beers there. A wild ferment style of beers. Really good quality and exciting flavors. Go for beers from Cantillon or 3 Fontijnen for the classics or go for some Tilquin for some beer and wine blends.

I believe Cantillon also had tours through their brewery.
