I take reviews on any site (especially Google/maps) with a huge grain of salt. I mostly only go straight to the negative reviews though. If they're all petty shit, then it's usually a good sign. I also like to see if the business/owner has responded. If they're posting snarky responses to negative reviews, then I'm inclined to think that this isn't a business that I want to deal with.

I ran DG as well (PX Poker Night) for the first time this year. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. I'm currently waiting for the print copy of God's Teeth, which I plan to run.

We had the second-highest number of sessions in our Pathfinder game (the Hell's Rebels AP) since we started in 2019. 8 sessions this year, 2019 was the highest number with 9.

Started playing Changeling with a different group, most of whom I'd never played with before. That game is fortnightly and still going. It's the first time I've played a regular game with another group since my 'main' group started playing together in 2004-ish. Actually, if I count those sessions, I've played more this year than I have in the past ten years.

I ran a session of Delta Green for the first time this year. I've been interested since it first came out. I'm currently in the exploratory stages of finding out who will be available for a regular game of that, but it won't be starting until next year.

Actually, that's another one. I've played more new games this year than I have before, other than convention games, at least. Played Fate, Changeling and Delta Green for the first time.

May not necessarily be useful for everyone, especially those of us in humid areas.

There are factors to consider, like the brewer’s own environment, a burr’s constant exposure to humidity, and the method’s effectiveness on multiple doses. If the humidity in your space is already at a certain level, the added humidity created by the mist may be too much.

Still, probably worth giving it a try.

I never even realised it was a thing people did commonly until I started watching Critical Role.

The closest my group has ever come is playing the Hell's Rebels adventure path for Pathfinder. In that you resurrect an old group called the Silver Ravens, so that essentially becomes your party's name.

They could probably save themselves a fair chunk of money if they stopped plastering their faces on everything they can. You won't see a sign or flyer advertising a service the council provides without the faces of Schrinner and usually the local LNP councillor as well.

I still think the school needs to be moved regardless. It's tiny and it's in a terrible location. I don't know where it could be moved to that wouldn't upset people, but that doesn't change the fact that it's unsuitable.

I'm guessing that the athletics is one of the most popular sports, so they wanted it where people can get to it more easily (and also closer to the inner city area, where there's more opportunities for tourists to spend their money.)

I'm pretty sure that if you can honestly use any other word than 'none' to describe how much meth is in your system, there's too much meth in your system.

Just saw an article on ABC about that exact thing (drip pricing.)

It must be exhausting to go anywhere in the US. You'd need cash on hand to tip people in situations where you can't just opt to add something to the amount taken off your card. I'm also opposed to the tipping culture (like most rational people) but would be acutely aware that most of the workers you'd be likely to tip are relying on them.
