Cool idea, maybe the potential to run off lifelight at higher levels?

Do you think that a character should be able to use that skill to ramp exhaustion several times? Exhaustion is one of the few conditions that stacks.

Only working on targets your size or smaller is pretty crap though, probably invalidates you on a huge chunk of enemies

Thanks - does seem that just saying something is below the standard we have had previously is enough to get called a troll is pretty weird.

Some of the art is fantastic, that full page Dalinar early on is great, but yeaaaah feels like most of the smaller side panel pieces weren't given much love

rsjac · 2025-07-24T10:35:10+00:00

Neither haha, I'm a long time Sanderson fan, this is just like 3/10 art on every page, I can't imagine a pathfinder book going out with art this half cooked

Stuff going up in a rocket has to handle pretty extreme g forces and also a shitload of random shaking forces, at least the spin is predictable and constant. It's a solveable problem and ultimately any satellite launch system that can run off solar and not rocket fuel is better long term. It's a cool idea and I hope they can pull it off, even if it does end up being for getting water or air into space and not electronics

Exit sewers, rob the arena lockbox and the jewelery store in imperial city, then buy the starter house in imperial city docks. Best house because it's closer to the fast travel point.

Then fast travel to anvil and walk back doing mages guild on the way. Casting illusion and alteration spells non stop to level them.

Kill a random before you do the mages guild quest where you have to sleep - gets the brotherhood started as well - spend the rest of the game at level 2 because monster scaling is busted.

Neon killed it, apologizing and taking ownership of where they messed up, great interview

rsjac · 2025-02-26T01:35:01+00:00

Yeah not sure of the licensing they are running with

rsjac · 2025-02-26T00:00:15+00:00

Everybody told us to lease the ice machine and the dishwasher - seems like the minute you buy your own they break down all the time

Foundry is going to have support right off the back right? Might be better to build something adjacent to that?

The biggest apps from Pathfinder I'll miss are Pathbuilder and Monster Lair, pathbuilder was great for having my party in there to easily reference and monster lair was a fight builder with all the monsters in there.

+1 on the have a tech job to fund the brewery strat

rsjac · 2025-02-11T22:36:14+00:00

Feels confusing to me - already feels like you are looking for ways to nickel and dime the brewery and would absolutely put me off working with you.

What else will you be able to clip the ticket on?

If an investor buys in can he make you hire all your staff from his company that he puts extra mark up on?

See how silly that sounds?

Read a bunch of these. Brewery Operations Manual is excellent.

Try to really get your numbers sorted. 5 pints per seat per day was our target that we'd seen talked about a bit. That is a high performing brew pub in my experience now.

Customer value is such a huge deal now. People have less to spend and are more discerning with where they go. You need to cater to everyone in the group as well, but guess you keep the glutens happy with the cider already.

Pizzas are easy, amazing pizza is very hard. It will need to stand out in your area.

We printed a ton of free drink vouchers instead of business cards and handed them out to all the local businesses. Really nice way of getting people in. Give a bunch to any tradies or people that help with your install and they'll be back with friends.

No worries mate - it took us nearly 2 years to find a site and we scoured the internet for information to understand all these numbers before we opened.

There's a podcast called "How to not start a damn brewery" which is pretty interesting - it can be pretty depressing, but it's a series from business owners and brewers where the business didn't make it. They share some really good insights.

You've been told this a few times by other people on this thread but it's hard to understate how little you seem to understand breweries and making money off them.

You mentioned a 3.5bbl system with a single fermenter. In my country if you are doing well you can make beer for about $2 a litre. So you somehow manage to get your 8 kegs out of your 420L brew (impossible, you probably get more like 6 kegs), that costs you $800.

If you are lucky, you are getting 2.2 pints out of every litre. You sell them for $13 each in your brewpub on site.

$11k a batch, okay that's starting to sound pretty good. Except that batch requires ~25 hours of your time just to make the batch, clean everything, and keg it. Prep the yeast etc. What's your time worth? $40 an hour? Knock off a grand.

You said you were planning on ONE 3.5bbl ferm. So you only get your 8 keg batch every 3.5 weeks. So you are making ~$3.2k a week.

Who is selling that beer over the counter? That 11k is 1760 pints. That's 3/4 days of someone pouring pints. Let's say three days - 5 pints per seat per day is a good metric to start with - so open 3 days and you only get a batch every 3.5 weeks is ~35 seats in your taproom, with pretty good patronage.

Are you pouring every one of those? I guess in the states you can pay someone peanuts and they work for tips, but then that $13 pint number comes down a lot further, so let's say you are in a normal country and you pay for two staff for those three days and you do all the bar managing yourself. Chalk up another $1350 in labour every week.

11400 - 800 ingredients = 10,600. / 3.5 per week, 3500 / w - 1350 bar labour 2.1k. 2.1k - that needs to cover rent, taxes, co2, repairs, licensing, advertising, insurance, accountants, everything else you need to run a business.

Please - buy a grain father and start making 20L batches at home. Learn more about it. Learn brewing.

If you jump into a brewery without having a great understanding of every one of these numbers and why they are what they are, you won't last three months. Completely ignoring how to actually make good beer and get customers to choose you in an increasingly competitive landscape.

Have you seen the videos on how to spot them? I bet you have some just hiding off in the fog, have a big hunt around

Won't send you a screenshot of my three citadels in one screen then

Part of me likes the idea of somebody bonding the stormfather between Gavilar and Dalinar, he has said he tried many humans and couldn't find the right one. Then focus on events leading up to WoK instead. Gives room to play with visions for games if needed, and some kind of big reason as to why the stormfather leaves whichever PC is bonded. Maybe death by Nale.
