Anywhere you can buy food here you can probably get alcohol. Corner shops, petrol stations, supermarkets all have booze.

In the UK we measured alcohol in units the recommended limit being 14/ week. Spirits like vodka are served in 1 unit = 25ml. So their low to medium drinking is already more than the UK national recommendation by 4 drinks and you'd be getting advice on how to reduce your drinking by a Dr. Though that 450ml/week is real easy to get to that's one vodka and coke per day if your free pouring rather than measuring. Many lay people wouldn't consider that a problem at all.

Admittedly we do have a fairly problematic relationship with alcohol in this country.

Definitely agree with your take to make booze harder to get and more highly taxed like smoking. At least the younger generations seem to not be drinking so much.

I really enjoyed it, have you started getting the upgrade paths for the pistol yet? Love that feature, it kept the iconic pistol relevant for the whole game.

This is an awesome tool. Love the British Heart Foundation.

Everyone should know CPR and the recovery position.

We usually describe them as mood stabilisers, they don't make you feel happy but they make you more able to deal with the hard stuff.

Reading this my main thought is you sound a lot like Henry Cavil, keep letting the nerd cred shine. People can be dicks, you probably got unlucky with the first response being from the ass hat then everyone else not having the guts to say that sounds cool. It's empowering to own your nerdary, anyone who has a problem with your hobbies isn't someone you need to worry about the opinion of. Keep being awesome.

Maybe I'm thinking of one of the other black Knight weapons. Haven't played ds1 in a long while now.

I mean this feels like it should be illegal. Another reason to not buy Ubisoft games I guess.

Did you get real lucky on that halberd dropping? I remember one of my Dex builds switching to strength quite quickly after finding one of those.

Last game was X4 foundations. So it entirely depends on if I get my spaceship or not. If yes then the hunt is a non issue, just take off and leave. If not I'm pretty sure my dude is screwed. He's got a spacesuit with a little laser and a bomb launcher with 2 shots, probably wouldn't get very far in Yarnham.

I don't think this is that unpopular, other than with smokers/ vapers. In the UK smoking is already banned everywhere indoors at least.

I'm listening to the Obelisk Gate by N.K Jemisin. Second in the series of post post apocalypse fantasy/ sci-fi. Really enjoying the series so far. Well narrated too.

 

So I've just started a game of Wildsea (green apocalypse happens and now everyone lives on top of a sea of trees and sales in chainsaw ships).

I'm running my players through the intro module to search for a library ship then going to let them have at the world.

Probably going to give them a few options for direction: Foxloft - where every ecological niche is filled with foxes. Dragons Reach - as above but with plant dragons and lots of lizards. (Got the field guide to floral dragons and it just fits so well with Wildsea). The Gau (mushroom people) lands.

Wildsea is very player driven so I'm not sure what my players are going to be interested in yet as we're only 1 session into this game, they have picked a ship for exploring though so probably plenty of travel.

Anyone else run Wildsea? Any favourite locations or themes to include in an exploration game?
