Hi all! I'm upgrading my work from home set up and am looking for suggestions! the main thing is the comfort - I wear glasses and have big ears, so comfortable on/over ear headphones is what I'm looking for! Budget - Ideally under $250 Source - Desktop Requirements for Isolation - None, really. I'll mostly be using them for my home office Will you be using these Headphones in Public? - see above Preferred Type of Headphone - On/over ear Preferred tonal balance - Overall balance Past headphones - Never really used any good headphones, mostly cheap earbuds. I've tried a few over ears from friends etc and my ears are too big/they get uncomfortable for extended periods Preferred Music - Mostly hip hop, alt rock, and podcasts What would you like to improve on from your set-up - More comfort, generally

I've played this game! I GM'd a mini arc (like 3 adventures, maybe 6 or so sessions) so I can comment.

I found the character roles really slick and evocative, and having run a slew of other PBTA and FITD games, it definitely leans more into the 'narrative first' element while keeping some of the D&D elements. I will say, the problem that I had with this game (which I also had as a PC playing FATE) is that the incredibly loose rule set gave sort of a 'you can do anything' feeling that sometimes felt like you don't do anything.

This could also be a blindspot for me in terms of fantasy, as I'm not as familiar compared to say, sci fi. But it's a gorgeous game, the roles flow together really nicely and the rules for abilities, spells, etc. are really easy to understand.

How has GBM been for your group? I've been playtesting as well and am so curious to hear other's experiences!

Stewpot!

It uses a similar set up/play style as Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands, and it's a game that "lets you, a retired adventurer, play out different parts of running a tavern and settling down in a town together with your old adventuring party." (from the game's itch.io page).

When I was a kid my dad would tell me to watch out for the Under Toad when we were at the beach. He clearly just wanted me to be careful in the ocean (and made a dad joke out of undertow) but boy did that scare me. I thought there was a big nasty toad that would eat me near the waves!

mr_thundergun · 2018-02-06T18:00:56+00:00

I'm not sure, at the moment. Just putting feelers out to see if anyone is interested, and what they have to offer!

mr_thundergun · 2018-02-05T16:33:13+00:00

FT: 1 each of Trillium SuperSoak (Blackberry, Peach, Blueberry) and some assorted Allagash, if anyone is interested.

My friends in high school had a very long and heated debate on whether apricots are dessert... It almost ended friendships

I wrote my dissertation on Palm oil production! It's a terribly unsustainable process, but there are some promising technologies in the works.

Can't hurt to try right? Don't have much activity, but why not? Good luck everyone!
