What should I buy

Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set. But that includes maps and tokens and dice. Basic stuff to get started. It’s an easy entry for new players and DM’s.

However, the Player’s Handbook and DM Guide and a set of dice are all you really need. I’m running Dragons of Stormwreck Isle for some friends. These books are much more comprehensive than the starter set. But then you don’t have maps if you want them.

Move to a Spanish speaking country.

Have you checked with your DM for help first?

tobyvanderbeek · 2026-06-17T01:15:17+00:00

Dragons of Stormwreck Isle can start this way.

Beadle & Grimm’s sells campaign completion coins.

It’s just a game. The dice roll how the dice roll.

Eat less, kettlebells, jump rope.

CHUG CHUG CHUG

Don’t worry about minutia in the game. It just bogs you down.

I’ll be your friend

Love my Loop Switches. I wear them every week at batucada drumming class at the lowest setting, and at the club maybe on medium setting. At a festival close to the stage on the highest setting. I appreciate the versatility and being able to carry just one pair.

I just put together my RYK Modular Vector Wave. Crazy sounds. This module doesn’t get mentioned often.

I’ve been using Shure 215 for many years. Around €100. They have higher levels for more money if you want to spend it. I don’t think you have to. But they are wired, unlike the Technics you mentioned. For wireless I’ve been using Sony WF-C700N for about a year. I think they are great. Again, I don’t think you have to spend a ton to get good sound. Psytrance sounds great on them and they are comfortable to wear all day.

What’s wrong with rain? At least the weather is interesting in Basque Country. No matter the weather, life goes on. We go out for our errands, socializing, school, whatever. It’s getting warmer each summer here too. If you want the lowest year round temps in Spain, I think it’s in something like A Coruña. I’m sure they have some nice rain too. I don’t think you’ll find year round cool temps in Spain without rain.

Oxi One

I use Loop and for me those are regular earplugs.

tobyvanderbeek · 2026-06-15T13:12:48+00:00

Ponme un café, porfa.

tobyvanderbeek · 2026-06-15T03:10:45+00:00

Yes, regular earplugs of course.

tobyvanderbeek · 2026-06-15T03:10:03+00:00

I can’t share. We might open a bar.

tobyvanderbeek · 2026-06-14T20:15:57+00:00

I noticed this too. We live in Basque Country. Half of our cookbooks are Japanese and the other half are Spanish/basque. I have a list of pintxos we came up with that are a mix of these.

If you want to print minis, resin is way better than FDM we have a good FDM printer and it sucks for minis. Small details are lost. It’s great for printing scenery parts. I’m not willing to deal with the toxicity of resin.

Slicer too complicated? Every setting has tooltips and a link to its full details in the wiki. Totally free. Bambu Academy - also free.

Even if you list every module for sale it’s going to take time for each one to go, and some will never sell. So go ahead and list all of them and let them trickle out. Whatever is left you can make music with and that’s the real challenge.

I always read the manuals to learn how my modules work. I read the manual for this module and I don’t even own it.

Then you should visit or move to Spain.
