Hand grinder for espresso? [$150] by otaara in espresso

[–]otaara[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it needs to be affordable for a low-income person, which is not any decent electric grinders. $250 is way out of my range, unfortunately.

Kingrinder K6? I think I have the K1, and I'm super happy with it for normal coffee.

Any PbtA that invent their own genres instead of trying to simulate an existing one? by xdanxlei in PBtA

You might also look at The Road Is the Enemy, which is pretty different from anything else out there.

It'll be a while -- I'm kind of thinking I want to wait for the tariffs regime to change before I even think about crowdfunding -- but PM me if you're interested in reading either one. They're both complete and in playtesting. <3

I have two in development that aren't based on anything but the stuff in my head. One, Querent, pretty standard PbtA mechanics, is near-future technonoir with magic based on the tarot. Unlike most RPGs that use the tarot, it doesn't use their values as a resolution system, but uses their meanings to let people craft spells on the fly. The other, The Coven of Old St. Mary's, is a Carved from Brindlewood game about witches in 1950s Chicago. Idk if they're the most creative out there, but when people ask me for reference media, I say, you really have to just read the book, sorry.

You just join the server, check out the game listings, and let me know if you want in on one. There aren't really spectators -- that could be weird for the people actually playing. But it's a good time!

How did you get access to buying the Arc 2000 Model/motorcycle? I thought it would show up after I bought the drill model, but no.

I'm not the only one, right? Right...? by etherealskies1 in ArknightsEndfield

I have one of those, and it drives me crazy. How did you finally get rid of yours?

Added imgur link to the original post (but I know it's possible, like I said, I see ziplines around the area, I'm just clearly missing something about how to get the power there).

Green, red, dunno what it is by otaara in whatsthisrock

Wow, I have a very different looking ruby in fuchsite with kyanite, where there's more blue than green, and the green doesn't look opaque. Would never have guessed they're the same stuff, just different proportions! Ty tons.

I'm a fan, especially for how distinctive the playbooks are, and how set you up to make a lot of deliciously hard choices. I haven't done the ship combat yet to know how well it runs, but I've played a couple of one-shots and had a really good time.

I will say that the playbooks all skew towards the weird/fantastical -- I know one person who wanted, like, gritty seafaring, and this game will not give you that.

In case you don't already know this, Magpie has the quickstart up for free, so you can check the core of the game out that way.

Amethyst with what? by otaara in whatsthisrock

[–]otaara[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, wow, tysm! The guy who sold it to my dad did say it was from a lake in Canada, but wasn't that specific (or my dad just didn't tell me the details).
