I wish they would tell us if the Canadians also had Chinese citizenship since China doesn't recognise dual nationals.

Project Gutenberg and librivox are decent resources for free older books. The author needs to have been dead for 70 years, so they are old but I've enjoyed "The Lost World" and "The hour of the dragon"

If you're going to die, better to die on the main quest. I avoid side quest distractions.

I've got,

OD&D, BX*, DCC*, OSE*, Black sword hack and Basic Fantasy. I've also got a couple that are OSR in spirit, Cairn* and Warlock*.

My favs are BX and warlock so far. I'm eager to try out Black Sword Hack for another take on it.

DCC has amazing art but wasn't my favourite otherwise.

The vvitch was a pretty decent horror movie. Kind of slow and atmospheric.

This is exactly what happens in the Battlestar Galactica reboot with all the fancy newer ships in the first couple episodes.

CBC Gem has a documentary about the Proud boys founder. I think it's worth a watch.

Yves also criticized Canada helping Ukraine against Russia back in 2023. For some reason there's a post about him every other day but he seems like a pretty shitty dude. I'm guessing he has a lemmy account so he can spam about himself.

A west marches style campaign in the 40k setting. My first thoughts for this would be either the players are rogue traders or they're a bunch of hive scum and have different gangs as factions.

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.

 

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.

 

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?
