@Tfmonkey convinced me. I just bought HeroQuest for $50 brand new. Looking forward to playing!
Guys, if you have a moment, instead of watching tons of tv or playing videogames nonstop this summer, take a chance and try something new. Go to the library. I've been learning how to care for cows, learning Russian through Memrise, playing bass, & took a $5 4-session fencing class for beginners.
*Side note -- dueling a left-handed swordsman is completely different than a southpaw boxer. It's freaky!
@RoninGrey I just got the new expansion and I have to redo some of my homebrew materials to incorporate the new stuff.
The base set is great and you don't need to paint it if you're not into it. The minis hold up on their own.
If you want any help with homebrew, I'll share my resources.
@Tfmonkey Thank you. I'll reach out once I get a good handle on how it works and what I may think it needs to fit our play style.
@RoninGrey Here's a quick conversion guide for D&D
Strength = Attack Dice
Dexterity, Initiative = Movement
HP, Constitution = Body Points
Armor Class = Defend Dice
Intelligence, Wisdom = Mind Points
Saving throws are basically just roll 2D6 and you succeed on a 5 or 6.
@RoninGrey @Tfmonkey Great work! Raising cattle is a rewarding experience. Scratch behind their ears when they're young, and they'll love you forever... the heifers anyway... +1 for learning Russian!
Fencing is a demanding sport; every day is leg day with a foil/eppee/sabre in your hand. Check out HEMA too.
@DoubleD Bro, yeeeeessss. My legs! Hahaha.
@RoninGrey I always want to learn new things that's keep me busy. But sometimes I must force myself because I often learn or read something on the internet and forget what I was doing.
I use duolingo for German Russian Spanish Arabic Chinese Japanese and Korean
And I have books on programming so far had no time to start even sometimes I watch videos or some websites.
Plan to read my country some laws to find loopholes to use but the shit is so boring to read😩
@Stahesh Yeah, sometimes the next best thing is to just watch someone giving summaries on YouTube / BitChute / Odysee / Rumble. You can also try setting aside time on your calendar as if it were a real class you have to study for (even just 15 minutes of no distractions once a week), or try reading while you poop, or try an e-reader text-to-speech thing.
@RoninGrey When I want to do something but do not have energy I do nothing to recharge my focus and energy.
I try to do one day of high activity and one day of low activity to have rest day after workout. But found out it is good to do for your brain too not only for your body to have rest days.
I have hard time to do nothing even I could push myself to workout every day. but focus and thinking suffers because of it.
Indonesian looks like it would be easier than Korean
I do not know of any other foreign language to study easier than Korean other than Indonesian
Every time I try to study some other language than Korean it looks discouragingly a lot more difficult
Indonesian is easier than Korean for native English speakers because it has a similar word order to English and is written with English letters and it might not have different conjugations based on honor / politeness status
There are two or three very different kinds of western point fencing
One moves in straight lines and you only try to hit people with the tip of the blade
The other moves in curves and you can hit people with the side of the blade
The third uses a third kind of sword where you can hit people with the side of the blade or the point
Each is very different
There are also other styles like Japanese competitive Kendo
Then there are sword arts that are not competitive
@RoninGrey @Tfmonkey
Because they emphasize lunges with the type of fencing where you only hit with the point of the sword & they might emphasize only one side
If you are not doing both sides
Try to estimate how many they have you do for the one side they have you practice
You could do that many for the other side at home so that your body does not get out of balance
U could
1 stretch the hip flexor muscles
2 stretch the knee extensor muscles which are different muscles
Not medical advice
@RoninGrey @Tfmonkey
That sounds awesome brother.
