Sounds horrible tbh. A big part of the hobby is meeting new friends. This sounds like a good way to become socially isolated and depressed.

In my personal experience that's much more difficult

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
