I finished Dawn Shard now and I enjoyed it more than Way of Kings but not enough to want to read more Stormlight Archives. I actually found the story to be a fairly self-contained story on a boat. I think already knowing a bit of spoilers about spren and void bringers was enough.

There were sometimes parts where characters would mention things like briefly being a king in the past, which I'm sure comes from another book but wasn't important for the plot of this book.

Overall I'm just not a Sanderson fan I think. I don't like his humour and I found I really didn't care about the characters in Way of Kings. The big problem is that his books are so long and it seems like not much happens until the end. I saw fans calling this an avalanche but I really couldn't stand it. No hate on others who like it but it's really not for me.

This is just a toxic gender wars meme. Go outside, touch some grass, meet someone nice and move on with life. Memes like this come from and perpetuate the loneliness epidemic.

If this happens, the RPG is too complex for that player. Play a simpler system.

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

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.

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.

Any Canadian government entity should leave the platform

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'm here to boycott the USA, not to shill for Russia

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.
