    I'd like to have an active community for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, but it's even more niche than 40k.

    I still can't decide if I should drop in or not. The last time I went was prior to COVID for one day, and planned on being there for all 4 days in 2020, but it got cancelled. I haven't been back since. How is it now? Do you find it to be worthwhile?

    I saw reference to tinned fish in a cheese shop last year and you inspired me to just pick some up online from Fishwife. Do you have any recommendations of what to pair it with? Aside from childhood tuna, this will be my first experience with it.

  6. What variant rules/house rules do you use in your Warhammer fantasy roleplay 4e game?

    I'm currently reading over and learning Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e I'm moving more and more away from D&D and Pathfinder games towards others due to different mechanics, fantastic design, etc.

    I've seen much conversation about WFRP 4e online and how it's not as good as 2e, or too complex, or other arguments. I'm not looking to start edition warring, but how many of these arguments still hold true in 2023 with the newer rules from Up in Arms and Winds of Magic?

    If there are complexities/gaps in 4e, what variant rules, house rules, or homebrew are you using to fix those things or fill them out?

    I’ve been loving me some Delta Green lately, but want to run Call of Cthulhu for the first time somewhat soon. I’ve collected most of the current books, but haven’t run a single session!

    Really liking the app so far! Can you add to the roadmap a “jump to next comment” button like Apollo had?

    I love Get in the Trunk! I'm currently on season 2; it's amazing.

    I've run DG twice now (different groups), and I think both times went pretty well, though it's hard to really get into character progression when it's only a one-shot. In the last game, one of the players knew it was psychological horror, but I think they weren't prepared to kill/sacrifice a kid (Operation FULMINATE) and it tainted their experience.

    I’ve actually never seen X-Files! I did watch Archive 81 a while back, which was great, and recommended as being based on the Night Floors scenario.

    Nah, it’s entirely unsweetened! I like to add some light maple syrup from time to time.

    If you’re looking for a coffee creamer replacement for milk, NutPods are a great alternative. I like the Original and Vanilla flavors.

    In recent years, my go-to has been the Fromager d’Affinois triple cream brie. I love a good aged cheese, cheddar, etc., but this brie won me over immediately.

    I find it to be much more advanced and seamless (at least from what was portrayed) than Meta's Quest headsets. I've owned most of Meta's headsets, and they're good, but Apple has the potential to turn this into the iPhone of AR and truly revolutionize computing, beating out other competitors. They have brand backing, as well as a focus on privacy and security that Meta absolutely does not. Apple is securing the vision interaction layer so that it can't be accessed by applications to reference what you're looking at, which is my fear for vision tracking. (reference Ready Player One movie's advertisement seizures clip).
