I started drinking it more recently since most of the other drinks at the local convenience store are American but Coconut water is usually Thailand.

The best lore is lore made at the table with the players. The rest is just gm inspiration.

I still play even if 2+ can't make it. It will depend on your group but my group of 6 has 2 very flaky players.

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.

It's worse than that. The original announcements said a 75% increase but the math didn't add up. I'd just be aware that soon prices will likely increase.

Hopefully they can soon use that empty space for booze from other provinces.

 

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.

The daily spam of this pro-russian

Another post about this guy? FYI for anyone who doesn't know he's very pro-russia/anti-ukraine.

This board gets at least 1 post about him a week. It's basically spam.

Steven Erikson - Malazan book of the fallen

Nicholas Eames - Kings of the Wyld

Yeah, I just know people who are very all or nothing. "If I can't become a perfect vegan, I might as well not try at all and get a meat lovers pizza" when usually even reducing what you do can have a big impact when done by many people.

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.

The article is behind of paywall but it would be great to know a breakdown. I know about the ON starlink contract and I'm guessing Tesla gets EV subsidies. Anything else?

 

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?
