The Wyrm's Rest Accord: The Cabal Neighborhood

I’ve been avoiding beta stuff because:

1.) I’mma decorate my home when I’m tanked off some wine and cozy music

2.) I don’t need to spend MORE time planning stuff when I’m already doing a D&D campaign, WHAM, and need to get some remaining stuff in Legion Remix.

My idea is just play the expansion then at the end of Season 3, get a house and decorate. Between world drops, running the auction house (there will be lots of leftovers), and plenty of matts on hand, should be able to put together something real nice.

I decided to remove myself from beta. I think I am getting unnecessarily annoyed because there’s still so many limitations. I will wait until live.

…then I can be angry. lol

What’s your favorite beer or otherwise non-alcoholic canned beverage? We can be grumpy about it in my garage while everyone else thinks we’re talking about tools or whatever.

I’m sort of phasing myself out of the beta. I wasn’t leveling because I did that once and it kinda ruined the expansion for me.

I’m really only looking for a couple of prefered lots right now. Which as I said isn’t going well. Also, I’m probably just messing with it all right now for avoidance. Meh, I need a vacation… or a new job… or to win the lottery.

Deschutes Black Butte (porter) is my go to. If you can get your hands on it, good stuff.

Had that one a few times, solid choice.

It’s stout season, so I’m going to be on the hunt for stupidly decadent beer. If it smells like roasted barley and bourbon and pours like crude oil, I know I’m in for a good time.

I’m trying to throw together CoS Death House for a couple pre-teens RN.

Yes, I know I’m a terrible person.

I mean, there is nothing wrong with giving children, under supervision, a very weak form of alcohol to introduce them to it, and so you can explain it to them without it just slapping them down and going “No! Just do as you’re told.”

I know we introduced the pre-teens at the support group to very weak alcohol and after they’d finished off their glasses, ran them through the ‘This is what abusing alcohol does to you’ horror-slideshow, and taught them Drink Safety, ie


  • If the drink doesn’t have bubbles, but the one you just got did, or it is meant to have bubbles but it is flat, don’t drink it and alert your friends, this isn’t a safe place.

  • Never leave a drink on the edge of the table, keep it in front of you at all times, and if you have to leave a drink unattended, just pour it out and get a new one.

  • If somebody is itching for a fight, go get security and as soon as you can get out without them following you, book it. Pride isn’t worth being turned into a paraplegic or an impromptu knife-rack because some tweaky little smear peaked in high school and is still mad about it/is suffering from nature’s cruelest handicap/mad that Andrew Tate won’t return their calls.

  • And of course, Rule of Threes, if there’s alcohol involved and you’re in a public area, always move in groups of three, nobody gets pulled away on their own, nobody goes into a stall without two friends checking the toilets out first for folks hiding in the bathroom, nobody goes off with the hot guy/girl/cryptid, you get their number and talk to them when you’re not impaired, etc etc.

I might have survived that :poop: when I was their age, but I’m not taking any chances that their luck might run out, and I know for a fact they aren’t running a stacking Constitution/Stamina build!

I got reported again….. you guys LOVE me!

Kids are always drawn to the “forbidden”. If you demystify stuff and explain what and why I think kids are less likely to sneak it behind your back. I think a fantastic deterrent for me was the communion wine at my church. It was an impertinent little vintage, aged a couple weeks, and enhanced with silver polish from the chalis. Nearly 50 years and I can still taste it. I think that’s why I don’t really like many wines.

I was never a beer person. It was the one thing that I access to - meaning it was always in the house - but I never liked it. I do like hard ciders, but never had around. Doesn’t mean I did drink though, I discovered cocktails in my early 20’s and became quite fond of them for a while.

Guys he was talking about kids playing D&D. Curse of Strahd, Death House is an intro campaign. It’s got some spooky stuff in it, but I’d say it’s more suitable for kids than uh… high ABV craft beers.

Disagree on this one. Do not give underage children alcohol to “introduce” it to them. Supervision does not prevent addictions and does not make it legal. Please, don’t.

Whiskey on teething babies is still a thing.

No worries. I figured it for a personal lore dump.

My grandmother gave me ‘medicinal’ whiskey shots regularly up through age five…didn’t really help whatever ailed me but it knocked me out long enough to give her some peace until ma got home from work.

Probably explains why my blood tests still have an octane rating on ‘em these days

I only play on 4v4 DM nights in the arcade which is typically every other night - at least that way if your team is a buncha gum-swallowers the round is over super quick

You should try Arc Raiders. It’s PvP, but it’s also a looting simulator while you avoid robot drones. And there’s a LOOOOOT of meme-ing done in vc by the players. One of my friends is running around yelling “Riddle me this, Batman!” before gunfights. I’ve heard “Warriorrrrs, come out and play-ee-ayyy” a couple of times. There’s a piccolo in game that people just play while they’re looting. I have never laughed so hard while being chased.

Oh, and you get a pet chicken. Mine has a boonie hat.

There is an innate desire to delve into what is forbidden or even taboo!

I may be a bit off-topic, but what was the final word on this community’s name?
