    I really like the UniFi Protect doorbells I installed recently with power-over-Ethernet (not required) as it keeps the data local.

    I feel the same way about D&D nowadays - it’s just not as much effort as older editions as you’re rewarded for just playing instead of using critical thinking and creativity. The emphasis on simplicity and accessibility loses the magic in the process.

    I’m looking for some new king size sheets, and likely a new duvet cover as one of the ties inside is ripped. My wife is intrigued by Brooklinen and other brands marketed on social media, but I’ve read that those are terrible. Do any of you have brand recommendations that aren’t thousands of dollars?

    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?

  11. 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!

    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.
