Chatting about it the other day, I think we all played it a little too video game linearly (go here, do this, go there, kill that) rather than taking advantage of the openness it offers. As Elliott was saying, at the end, about some of the things we could have done. Also I watched a little of Critical Role's season 3 campaign, not so much for the entertainment of it, but it's interesting seeing how they play in terms of interaction with each other, asking more in character questions to the DM or even more random things like pickpocketing an NPC, going to get a beer mid quest or even just walking off as a fight takes place. But all that is going to come with experience of DnD as it was quite bitty as we kept needing to ask questions on what to do or what we could do. Not to mention more familiarity with your character and getting used to playing that role. But it has definitely piqued my interest and would definitely be down to having another go. I appreciate for our first go, or goes, a one and done is best but I do see the appeal of a much longer campaign though, this is FG, so we'd never manage to organise it for more than a few weeks 😄

Sounds like a great night, seems some of you have the bug for it now 😍

That volley was a peach, I'd have been buzzing all night after scoring a goal like that 🤗

I'm an anarchist in a capitalist world mate, so yeah, a pretty tough skin and a gallows humour tend to keep me going 😅 Onwards and upwards 🖤

Some cracking goals in England v China. The competition should start heating up now as we head towards the next round 🙂

So off the back of Saturday's DnD night, my wife was paying attention throughout it seems and she has been chatting to me about it since and want's to give it a go herself ^_^ So if we do this again in the future I have another player 🙂 We have also ordered one of the starter kits so we can have a play at home (my brother's joining us too) so that should be good fun! I think @Lurchzy need's to plan another night to complete this as well 🙂 Maybe sometime in September? (I imagine people are on holiday's over the next month or so). But yeah it was great fun and definitely something I'd do again.

Believe it or not, this is the completed Twitter rebrand😂 This could very well be the worst and least appropriate branding I have ever seen. ‘X’ was bad enough but this tagline is the icing on the cake for pure ludicrousness! Couldn’t have happened to a nicer site though so let the meltdown commence/continue..

Stick drift seems to be such a personal thing, my PS4 controllers did succumb to it eventually so I got a PS5 bundle with 2 controllers to have a back up. But over 2 years later and I'm still only using 1 controller yet in the same time period some people have gone through multiple controllers. As for scuff, I haven't looked in to them though this more due to having modified my standard controller. I bought the PS4 back buttons when they came out and switching to the PS5 it was tricky playing without them. So I fitted some ExtremeRate back buttons on my OEM controller not long after I got it and they work well enough. Had I not already got a spare controller and spent the time and money modding a controller, I probably would have gone with the Sony pro controller even if the price does make my eyes water.

@Findmartin was saying in the Football Group Chat how good that Lauren James is, and I couldn't agree more! Wicked player. All the women's team seem really good ATM. Hopefully they're able to go all the way! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

You do make me laugh Phil! Don't agree with your opinions but I do admire your enthusiasm 😂

Ah billionaire narcissist, friend of racists and union busting anti worker scumbag. What could possibly make me dislike this 21st century piece of shit 🙂 Couldn't give a toss about what he calls the app, just wish he wasn't using it exclusively for his own propaganda, as it seems there's still plenty out there that fall for it. What a time to be alive 😅

Yeah it's a huge GOTY contender and sits Overwhelmingly positive on Steam with almost 15,000 reviews. Came out in March and is very popular. I think it's an excellent game with relaxing mechanics and a nice gameplay format. Highly addictive and lots of gameplay and adventure on offer.

Looks like a relaxing game, never heard of it before so I might have to check it out.

Plus the tagline is obvious a joke poking fun that his haters 🤣 worked as well, with everyone having theirs hands in the air talking about his app.

I like it. Musk has always been a fan of the letter X, using it in SpaceX, Telsa Model X, even in his child's name. And since it is his company I don't see any problem with it. Plus it's clean and minimal, and has always been his vision to create a complete app and X represents that philosophy quite well. I also like the branding and the competition element of the logo design which Elon put out to his followers. Personally I find the critics towards Twitter/ X amusing, spouting the same shit the newspapers say 🤣

What a fantastic evening, thank you so much @Luseth @Lurchzy @TheMuggySpud and @Greboth for your attendance and effort. despite being your first game you played really well and you put several smiles on my face throughout! Well done!

My character reached level 5 in an epic duel with a necromancer that had just raised an army of undead dragons to destroy the realm, on defeating the necromancer the dragons fade away saving the realm. The army he fought side by side with erupts in celebration only for them to watch on as the hero slips on the way down the castle stairs, tumbling down he bashes his head off the steps and dies instantly.

Titanus was born into a poor family. 6 years after his birth, his father was killed by soldiers whom were left to run rampant among the villages of the kingdom. Titanus vowed to protect his mother and get his revenge upon the tyrant that set those human monsters loose on the people. He joined the Fighter's Guild aged 7 and worked hard to get into peak physical health. By age 17, he had fought his way through the entire Guild and grew a name for himself. Although known as the champion of his town at the age of 23, the people of the wider kingdom had only heard stories of the warrior named Titanus. It was time to set off on his journey to avenge his father and make the tyrant rue the day he set those animals upon the kingdom. -------------- No more than 3 days journey from his village, Titanus arrives in the town of Finglas and sees a group of horses outside the tavern bearing the sigil of the King. After a decade of training, this is moment he's waited for. His revenge starts now. Titanus jumps off his horse but lands wrong on his ankle. A sharp pain tore through him as his bone pierces skin. On the ground helpless, the kingsmen exit the tavern and spot him. Laughing and joking, they approach. Titanus watches as they loot his supplies from the horse unable to stop them. Another sharp stab of pain as a blade enters his chest, just below his heart. Titanus lies there, vision fading as the sound of laughter becomes more distant.

After Zy sold his soul to the Black Dragon Monastery, he was immediately ambushed by the cult and murdered in the shadows. Leaving his soul in the overworld.

𝙕𝙮, the enigmatic Tiefling Sorcerer. He stands ominously tall at 7 feet and 2 inches. His skin, a striking bleach white with subtle patterns resembling coiling black dragons, matches the intensity of his deep, starless black eyes. Zy exudes an aura of power and mystery, drawing others in while maintaining an air of distance. Despite his imposing appearance, he struggles to connect emotionally with others due to his commitment to logic above all else. Zy made a life-altering Faustian pact, trading his soul to the Black Dragon Monastery for unparalleled knowledge and magical prowess. Now, driven by the desire to reclaim his soul and prove his worthiness, he treads a fine line between good and evil in pursuit of his ambitions, making him an unpredictabe and sometimes evil friend. https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/104763829/uPjvg4

Meet Greboroth, A ranger and the bastard son of a Noble elf and his human mistress. https://www.dndbeyond.com/sheet-pdfs/Greboroth_105073996.pdf Embarrassed and disowned by my father I hide my elf heritage as I wander from town to town tracking and killing the monsters and evil that walk in the wilds. I prefer to be alone in the wilds but the towns I find along the way do provide a good, warm, and safe nights rest. Not to mention mead! Unfortunately on this night, I found myself drinking in a strange dwarf tavern. I knew I wasn't welcome as the sign hung above the door read 'no pointy ears' but I knew if I kept my ears covered I could pass as human and the Dwarves make the best mead. I drank one cup of mead, then two, three and four...drinking until the dawn. Seeing the sunrise I knew it was time to leave but in getting up to leave in my drunken state, I slipped on the mead all over the table and falling to the floor I revealed my elvish side to the tavern. Instantly I could feel every Dwarves blood boil at an Elf in their tavern so I tried to make a run for it but I couldn't run faster than their axe which hit me in the back. As I lay dying, I heard the Dwarf walk over and mumbled that no-one is welcome in a tavern full of drunken dwarves.
