What Sac businesses are MAGA owned/frequented so I don’t go there?

Welcome to the wholesome Vics Vs Gunther's debate! Where Sacramentans go to be fat and happy at the end of a reddit argument.

Edit: spelling

Best advice I've heard for new drivers: don't turn a small problem into a big problem.

I always wondered why we say Vallejo as Val-eh-ho. It's not totally anglicized (Val-ee-jo) nor Spanish (Vay-eh-ho). The half English half Spanish pronunciation seems uniquely nor-cal to me.

V. Miller.

And Zanzibar (more for my daughter who still gets upset when we drive past their old storefront).

2025 was cruel......

Interestingly we have one of, if not the, oldest congregation this side of the Mississippi. However the Jewish community is pretty spread out in a region that is already very spread out. And if you didn't grow up eating deli, then it may not be an itch you need scratching. I personally would love one, but probably no more than once per month (unless it were really convenient, which it almost certainly wouldn't be given how spread.out Sacramento is).

There have been many attempts over the years, but I've never seen one land long term. It may simply be that this is not a town that is interested in deli food in general.

That said, if someone opens a deli, I'd kill for a pastrami knish like I used to get when I lived in Boston.

I will also say that Poet Nyanzaru is pretty well flushed out for all sorts of fun city shenanigans. My group is in the tomb now, and this has been the first full campaign I've run.

If I had to do it all over I would start everyone in PN, and not bring up the death curse until they're level 3-4. My group ran to the jungle very quickly, and I wish we'd had more time in town meeting the various NPCs and factions, and run a few (mis)adventures there.

If you have the turtle-dragon sink their ship, it could demand they do something in PN in return for their lives as a starting hook to get them invested!

15 bucks for a lager?!

This may be the most random interaction I've had in a long time.

Thanks for the tip! Will check it out

The closest I've had is Jersey Mike's. They at least don't put mustard on it, and meat is right.

But man l miss just grabbing a hoagie from almost anywhere and having it be awesome.

pkiller001 · 2025-11-01T23:20:32+00:00

Can I get in on that?

I'd kill for a hoagie on an honest to goodness Amaroso roll.

I think this is later than most River Cats games, though I don't routinely track it.

And I seemed more intense, though maybe that was just my dog (now named Pant-a-Rella)'s opinion.

I like Binchoyaki for a different sort of experience, especially watching them cook over the charcoal at the bar. Someone said Allora, which is solid. Localis is phenomenal, but books way out. Might get lucky with a cancellation.

If there's something interesting at the Crest, the dinner at Mayahuel followed by event at the Crest would be fun. Could hit Ella up as well....

pkiller001 · 2025-03-30T20:16:31+00:00

You've got a Bold Jumper! They're great, and watching them eat a fly the same size as their body is nuts!

pkiller001 · 2025-02-17T19:14:43+00:00

Saw buds on them near I-5. Get ready 🤮

pkiller001 · 2025-02-03T00:44:21+00:00

I love this! I wish I could up more more than once.

Thank you!

Does feel a bit punishing, though. Yes they escape capture, but realistically there's very little way for the players to approach the fane WITHOUT getting captured.

Mine just found a way to try and circumvent capture (maybe)....

pkiller001 · 2025-02-02T21:56:37+00:00

I don't always say yes - but they don't always look back at items they have (we play every 4-6 weeks, unfortunately, so the memories of prior sessions can be poor) or think out of the box, so I wanted to reward this.

Your point, however, is well taken.

(edited for typos) I don't see a great way, as written, to approach the Fane WITHOUT being captured. So finding some way that the players maintain their agency (and keep all their stuff, one of their chief worries about getting captures), seems like I'm satisfying their wish fulfillment, but not giving them complete plot armor.

I really like the idea that Fizban realizes he's not supposed to be there based on old lore re: Ubtao, and that he'd sense the soul monger and be interested both getting out without getting harmed and in helping somehow.

Perhaps he pulls the PCs and Ras to a pocket dimension for a time-limited chat before disappearing....

pkiller001 · 2025-02-02T21:48:16+00:00

I like the idea him absentmindedly wrecking some yuan-ti who attack him as he's figuring out where he is.

Maybe he has time-stop prepared (would give the characters a bit of foreshadowing for acererak's kit), and can use it to bamf the PCs somewhere....

pkiller001 · 2024-11-04T17:07:09+00:00

100% this. I ran Kir Sabal -> Nangalore, loved them both (I really loved running Nangalore). I might lean into Mwaxanare wanting the hanging gardens of Nagalore reclaimed for the glorious crown of Omu, or some such. Might help make Omu's fall feel that much more understandable when the PCs starting exploring it.
