The Hierophant

It’s never been easier to get into D&D. It’s the starting point and the default for lots of reasons. Yes there are alternatives but D&D is the most widely played and the most widely supported. I could not recommend anything else. Buy the Starter set. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0786965592/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_tsClFbCZP5985 it’s a campaign in a box and the perfect introduction. Basic rules are in it but also here: https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrules. good luck and have fun.

Was on holiday and found a little chilli shop. Bought some kashmiri chilli powder and some dried nagas for when I get home.

I’d love to. When are you thinking?

I came here to post this. Thought it was pretty good.

Is this Balearic:

I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never seen that before. While Berkshire has never featured on my list of rave hotspots it does cover Venus which was very influential on the Derby clubs I went to. And the soundtrack features this great tune, which can only be described as Balearic: Reminds me so much of waking on my friend’s floor wondering what was gonna happen next.

I’ve only listened to half of it so far but I really like it. More so than the first, definitely more depth to it.

I’m pretty sure he used to post on Frothers. That’s another avenue you could look at @Clipper find some mini forums and post a request there. I only really know Frothers, which has become a mere shadow of its former self and Random Platypus which I think was supposed to be a successor but never really took off. From those forums I know of StoneColdLead, mentioned above and also RedZed and Roy Duffy. Both seem to still be active. There must be others I have forgotten. I’ve also come across lil legends and Gray Green on my various trips around the web following miniatures. I can’t vouch for anyone in particular I am afraid I am mainly a lurker in this world. Waiting for when I have the time to paint (but working 50-60 hours a week and three small children, I don’t know when that will be ).

PS, it’s bloody Balearic out there today.

Which was of course sampled in this Balearic track by Andy Weatherall:

Love those. The second one reminds me of Durutti Column, who I nearly posted yesterday. I have no idea if they were played in Ibiza but the time period and the vibe fits.

New live electric Miles out today: https://open.spotify.com/album/5DB28aj6Q3fgrtWIzdokqc?si=P5kYQfpfSDaIuay6iQ0dMQ

I was just listening to that!
