China backs Trump's Ukraine peace bid at G20 as U.S. allies rally behind Zelenskyy
  • Kind of weird to refer to the countries as "U.S. Allies" given the context

  • What Stormlight Archive lore do I need for Dawnshard?

    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

  • Yves Engler: I’m Being Charged for Responding to Anti-Palestinian Hate on X (Twitter)
  • Sure, I agree. Lemmy.ca has been spammed with articles about this activist though that don't mention that he's pro-Russia/Anti-Ukraine. Just thought I'd add some context.

  • Grocers stocking up on Canadian, international suppliers as shoppers avoid American
  • 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

  • Yves Engler: I’m Being Charged for Responding to Anti-Palestinian Hate on X (Twitter)
  • I agree that there may be a case of cops going beyond the law. I only looked into this since the Canada feed has about 4+ articles talking about this guy with very little details. A 2 second search shows he's basically a Russian agent.

  • Yves Engler: I’m Being Charged for Responding to Anti-Palestinian Hate on X (Twitter)
  • This guys entire twitter feed is him harassing people for views....

  • Yves Engler: I’m Being Charged for Responding to Anti-Palestinian Hate on X (Twitter)
  • I see a lot of posts about this guy but a quick scroll of his twitter sees him defending Russia and Belerus. Opposing Canada helping Ukraine, etc. Seems like a lot of red flags on this dude.

  • Is this vandalism?
  • It's funny either way

  • Review & Commentary On Baptism of Fire Rpg By Rpg Pundit From Mad Scribe Games
  • Hard pass for me due to the author, he's a real jerk.

  • Which system new to you are you aiming to play in 2025?
  • 3:16 and Mothership as a Gm. Always eager to try whatever else people in my group want to run.

  • So what are you all reading?
  • The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle. Some of the dialogue feels a bit dated but so far I'm enjoying it.

  • Looking for high fantasy book suggestions that aren't about preventing the world from ending
  • The First Law by Joe Abercrombie. It deals with political struggles and empires clashing but not the end of the world. The characters are definitely more flawed and relatable at times.

  • Trump on Canada: "I spoke to Governor Trudeau ... they don't have military protection, and you take a look at what's going on out there ... people are in danger ... they need our protection."
  • 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.

  • So... how's everyone else's session prep going?
  • If you're running a sandbox, you just need to review a bit ahead of the party in the various dungeons.

  • What is your favorite one-shot?
  • DCC funnel adventures are really great. I'm not a huge fan of the system beyond that but lvl-0 adventures make a great 1-shot.

  • Review: "Dungeon Crawl Classics" - By Goodman Games
  • I'm running a DCC game at the moment and honestly, I'm not feeling it as much as others do. I think people downplay the rules being complex but first of all, not having the index at the back of the book is a huge usability fail. My book has it on page 467 of 504, with quite a lot of ads in the way.

    Another thing that annoyed me was that there are some inconsistencies between printings for the rules. I have a 7th printing book and it says spell casters add their luck modifier to spell checks. One of my players was looking at the 10th printing pdf where it doesn't say they do. This kind of thing leads to confusion.

    I love the art of the book and it's clearly a labor of love but it's not a system I'll be eager to run again.
