Combat vs RP by Adrius in c/rpgmemes@ttrpg.network

B/X is good. When characters have d6 hp and it's instant death at 0 the combat becomes way more serious and tense.

What is your favourite lvl 1 starting adventure?

I just ran "Nightmare over Ragged Hollow" by the Merry Mushmen with Moldvay Basic and it was a lot of fun. It's a good starting sandbox with 4 dungeons, a goal and you can easily slap in more content.

Don't forget that the Proud Boys, aka MAGA's brownshirts, are designated as a terrorist organization in Canada by Adrius in c/canada@lemmy.ca

CBC Gem has a documentary about the Proud boys founder. I think it's worth a watch.

Canada’s navy sails with US ships as Trump talks annexation - Yves Engler by Adrius in c/canada@lemmy.ca

Yves also criticized Canada helping Ukraine against Russia back in 2023. For some reason there's a post about him every other day but he seems like a pretty shitty dude. I'm guessing he has a lemmy account so he can spam about himself.

The best lore is lore made at the table with the players. The rest is just gm inspiration.

The problem only happens when a group feels they need to delay if someone can't make it. As a GM I have a set day/time and play without the missing players.

Hopefully they can soon use that empty space for booze from other provinces.

Drivethru RPG raises Print-on-demand prices starting April 1st (ttrpg.network)

Upcoming Print-on-Demand Book Price Changes – Effective April 1, 2025

We always want to keep print costs as low as possible, and it has been years since we passed any price increases through to our publishing partners.

However, our print supplier, Lightning Source/Ingram, has announced a price adjustment starting April 1, 2025, that will be reflected on DriveThru sites.

Key Changes

Due to increasing supply costs in the US, Black & White print costs in the US will increase significantly, from around 20% for low-pagecount hardcover titles up to about 50% or slightly more for large hardcover books, and with softcover titles seeing an even greater increase.
UK print costs for Black & White books will also increase, but generally only by 3-4%.
Standard Color print costs will increase, by roughly 12-13% for US printing but only around 3% for UK printing.
On the whole, Premium Color print costs will decrease slightly for US printing but increase slightly for UK printing.

Example 1: A 180-page large premium hardcover currently costs $32.10 to print in the US; after April 1, that same title will drop to $27.80.

Example 2: In the UK, the same 180-page book currently costs £20.23, which will increase to £20.93 starting in April.

"Buy Canadian" isn't so cut and dried by Adrius in c/canada@lemmy.ca

This only matters for perfectionists in an all or nothing sense. If you give the USA $0.60 for every $1 you used to it will hurt their economy.

What Stormlight Archive lore do I need for Dawnshard? (ttrpg.network)

submitted 1 month ago by Adrius@ttrpg.network to c/fantasy@lemmy.ml

I've read "The Way of Kings" and I really didn't enjoy it. Before I discovered that I didn't like it, I bought Dawnshard while it was on sale. I'm too cheap to not read a book I've bought so I am planning on reading it.

What lore or spoilers should I know to catch me up from tWoK to DS?

Grocers stocking up on Canadian, international suppliers as shoppers avoid American by Adrius in c/canada@lemmy.ca

Anyone know a good Canadian Shampoo? I spent some time trying to find one and the best I could get was l'oreal for men, French company but it isn't clear where it's made.

Edit : I bought some shampoo and toothpaste from Green Beaver. If it ends up being good I'll probably swap to that.

I see a lot of posts about this guy but a quick scroll of his twitter sees him defending Russia and Belerus. Opposing Canada helping Ukraine, etc. Seems like a lot of red flags on this dude.

Trump on Canada: "I spoke to Governor Trudeau ... they don't have military protection, and you take a look at what's going on out there ... people are in danger ... they need our protection." by Adrius in c/canada@lemmy.ca

[-] Adrius@ttrpg.network 14 points 1 month ago

Canada has underfunded its military for decades. Now that we have a powerful neighbour talking about anexing us, we really should start funding it more.
