re. the Diskworld pizza referenced a couple of pages back... I hope the base is made of dwarfbread. Because (and I apologise if this joke was made in the previous 653 pages) It's all about the base, 'bout the base; no treble.

That's not beer I'd drink. :sick:

I always assumed it was just Japan, with no other parts of Asia implied. In my home game I moved it to be closer to the Celestial Empire. I just see the Japan/China cultural connections as too important to remove from any expies, and still have them be expies. They've been cavorting with...

There's a specialist tea shop here in Oz, called T2, that stock a range of flavoured rooibos including a very nice chai.

I've heard of it by the name cimarron. But never tried it. Couple of years back got introduced to rooibos. It's an African herbal tea. No caffeine. Love it. I usually have it with oat milk.nIt's a good sleepy time tea.

My friend will be running Brindlewood Bay for us very soon. I am sooo looking forward to it.

Awwwwww, Bloodfest.

Renegade Nell is in the mix!

I will! It might be some time til we have enough time to binge something. But I'll get back to y'all when we do. :)

We gave The Tudors a try. I think it may have been the show that made us cry "No more effin Tudors!" And I don't think it was even the show's fault. Just a Tudor too far, ya know? I'll put The Last Kingdom into the mix. We both love GoT and House of the Dragon. Outlander is a curious one. By...

I could try The Last Kingdom. There might be a little more war than my wife is into. But we won't know till we try.

I mean, clearly she's the greatest.

We started on The White Princess. Didn't get into it. I think we're just so very, very over Tudors, whether historically accurate and well acted or not. That being said, there is talk of an Elizabeth 1 show with Mini Driver reprising her version of Lizzie 1 from The Serpent Queen which I think...

Poldark! Goodness me. I remember my mum was a fan of the books when she was young. I'm vaguely aware that there was a TV show back in the 70s. But I assume you mean a new series. I'll track that down. I don't think I could convince my wife to watch Sharpe. I did watch it back in the day. It...

Thanks for all the replies! We've already seen The Decameron, and loved it! I think we watched it all in 2 nights. We've also seen Bridgerton. Again, we're big fans. Including of Renee Jean Paige's butt is an awesome butt. 🍑 Happy to give Penny Dreadful a try. Don't mind a bit of horror...

I do love both those cuisines.

Ah well, thanks anyway. We really need something to scratch the period drama itch.

Those sour worms are nasty.

Hello good people. I've just learned that a favourite TV guilty pleasure, The Serpent Queen, has been cancelled. There will be no 3rd season. Sad times. I will be the first to admit, it aint great TV. I said trash in the thread title and I meant it. But my wife and I now have a serpent shaped...
