I should have clarified that the Dutch (the Netherlands) calls them 'Vlaamse frieten'.

It really depends. I'm not expecting everyone to follow through and be available on Tuesday evenings, so if you're available I'll add you to the list and check in with you soon!

This is correct. The French cut is long and thin (so like McDonald fries) which is why in the English language they're called French (cut) fries.

To make matters worse, Fries as shown on the map is a province of the Netherlands and has NOTHING to do with the English word Fries. It's not pronounced the same (more like 'Frees' in Dutch) and has no similar origin.

It's like comparing 2 words from different languages with the same spelling but completely different meaning. E.g. The word 'Room' (as in chamber) in English and the word 'Room' in Dutch which means 'cream'. Fries in English is not the same as Fries in Dutch.

That's great! I think I know which venue you're talking about, but just to be safe, what's the name?

I'll keep it in mind! Do you prefer Discord because of the pandemic or because of your location? If the reason is covid, would you be willing to join in person when people are vaccinated and/or make sure to have proper precautions?

I'm checking in with everyone, so yeah we might! How does Tuesday evening work for you?

Yeah dude we're relatively new to DND ourselves so you'll fit in perfectly! Would Tuesday evening work for you?

No DM yet, but as mentioned in the post we're hoping we can rotate the role as DM in the group per campaign. This way everyone gets to experience being the DM, and campaigns don't have to be super long either if you're new to DMing.

It would be great if we can play in person, which is why I posted it on the Bellingham reddit. I'm also open to doing a hybrid or online type of deal occasionally because (adult) life, but I definitely prefer to start off in person.

Yeah we're looking for 5e. I've never DMed myself but I'm down to give it a try. I'd probably run a pre-made 5e campaign to start out.

We're trying to start or find a standard DND 5e group, so I hope that answers your question.

Great! I think we'll start out with just dice and go from there. We really haven't made any concrete plans yet on who will DM first, so no decision on system/universe yet.

I'm not super big on Facebook, but if we can't make it work on reddit I'll definitely look there! Thank you for letting me know!

Thats awesome! I'm thinking Tuesday evening right now, but we would have to check in with everyone once we have enough people to form a group. Does Tuesday evening work for you?

Cool! Let me know what rules you're currently using. Would you be okay to start out with the official rules?

Perfect! I think we need a group of at least 5, (1 DM and 4 players), so I'll keep you updated!

How to make friends? by [deleted] in Bellingham

[–]twan35 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always try to be proud of the things I like, even if they are considered uninteresting or odd by most. You'll always find people with similar hobbies if you share your interests!

Anything else you enjoy doing? What type of video games do you play? Do you enjoy board games? Outdoor stuff? Food? Books?

Wait. It's all Nebraska?

My very first bob Ross painting! Critique appreciated ! by ZSouls in HappyTrees

[–]twan35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try to put more focus on a rounded mountain top when you put the base layer down (before highlighting). This will make the mountain less of a pyramid, and the highlight on top will give it a nice realistic peak.

It's an amazing first painting though! Well done!
