    General DCC RPG thread

    Won the leather cover Weird Frontiers book, Weird Frontiers art and Weird Frontiers light. Good items and helps with charity to someone really in need.

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    It is worse than that. I did not like Andor and posted about it in my Facebook page. Quickly my feed became more and more full of complaining about Star Wars messages from different groups. To all appearances, my opinion is the common and mainstream one. Of course, it is not. Quite a few people...

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    Compared to something like Slow Horses, both seasons are way better written and acted than Andor (which I think is the second worst modern live action show with Boba Fett being rock bottom). Honestly, even if you argue that Andor is the best Star Wars, that is a really low bar. Star Wars is...

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    Andor started badly and got worse. Spreading 1/2 an episode of plot over 3 shows each time with ponderous and boring writing. Ahsoka had way too much of the main character standing with arms crossed and a blank look on thier face reciting lines in a montone. Sabine dodging telling Ezra about...

    Strike Ending & Amazon Antitrust - Streaming Services: Power Rankings, FALL 2023

    Max has a lot of debt. That is because of how it was birthed, via a drunk AT&T which has tossed $billions into large piles and lit it on fire but in the desert where not even the heat was needed. That cripples their ability to make bolder choices. They are still great at making shows/movies that...

    Exactly. I prefer their hot pot. I have a high spice tolerance.

    I lived in China and did not find the local fried chicken to be that amazing. Singapore the same. KFC (American chain) is super popular in China. But the only local one I really liked was the version with the tongue numbing spice. That is a ton of small pieces with bones and the spice/pepper...

    I am on a flight to Seattle tomorrow to game until Sunday. It actually is a rural area near Seattle so I doubt they will have Korean fried chicken but you never know. And I do CPE to maintain my CPA.

    Consider the Cannoli: Subjective Preferences and Conversations about Geek Media

    GaryCon is my once a year try something new gaming convention. I run different systems for my two gaming groups (Hyperborea and 5e now - just switched from CoC) and at times you you have something in mind, like Korean Fried Chicken but after walking for a mile you arrive and find it closed so...

    Consider the Cannoli: Subjective Preferences and Conversations about Geek Media

    I guess it is good enough and easy enough to make that it has spread really far now. I remember when it first showed up in Montreal and you had to hunt it down. It is pure high calories comfort food. With fresh cheddar cheese curds and the right brown gravy plus fries that did not start off...

    The biggest issues tend to be the cheese (should use cheddar cheese curds) and the sauce. But it’s not meant to be fine dining. More comfort food.

    Poutine is much more Quebecois than Canadian. It spread, but much more popular in Quebec.

    We called it Hawaiian pizza back home (Canada). That was the one with pineapple. I never had it, did not like it, but it was pretty popular.

    Consider the Cannoli: Subjective Preferences and Conversations about Geek Media

    It is the texture more than anything. I cannot say about tuna as I don’t like fish in general but there certainly are some fish that I would imagine goes ok. Corn was terrible to me but quite popular in China. KFC sold little cups of corn. When I lived in Singapore I go used to spicy sauce...

    When I lived in China I experienced corn on pizza. That was a true abomination before the Lord.

    Let's talk Virtual Tabletops!

    I have tried a bunch of these. I vastly prefer Fantasy Grounds except for Foundry using a web browser as a client. It I want only a light weight browser based VTT, I use Owlbear Rodeo. The FG interface is actually good to run a VTT, once I got used to it I found other programs that use the...

    In decades of going to, working in and living near NYC, I have never eaten chain pizza there.
