Ahhh... almost forgot: the bonus thing could be that I'm Polish and my wife comes from... Lublin:) And I live in the area of Kalisz :)

Hi Pedrop. Welcome to the... bleachers? ;) Hopefully, all references to Polish towns and landmarks will be historically accurate.
I'm a big fan of Black Boss Porter, which is said to be made by Browar Witnica SA in Witnica.

Unfortunately I'm not expert in historical things:( (only remember general things from my history lessons), but maybe I will be able to add some "local flavor" if the occasion in game will be proper:)
Interesting thing DED! From what country are you from, that you know about - what looks from the website - as very small brewery in Poland? :)
And it's true: sometimes you can find those small local breweries in Poland (what is not as common as I think it is in countries like UK) that offer very unique tastes. What is more interesting as I don't think we have a long breweries traditions or certainly not as long as some other countries. Especially considering that world wars and the 2nd specially destroyed a lot of our infrastructure in many fields, this too.
So: I really must try this beer from Witnica now! :)

I'm from the USA, specifically Connecticut, a small state on the east coast near NYC.
The discovery process was a bit convoluted. A local beer importer apparently thought that it was worth including in their catalog. The alcohol distributor that services a store that I shop at includes this importer in their catalog. The beer manager at the store thought to include the Black Boss Porter in his imports/craft beer aisle. As I love porters, especially Baltic Porters, I was intrigued. At $2 US for 500 mL, the price was just begging me to try it. I did and I love it!
I don't know if you're into that style of beer, but if you like your beer dark and malty, maybe you will. If not, I know that they offer different styles of beer. Be warned though, it clocks in at 9.4% ABV, which is a lot more than the typical pilsner or lager. :)

Dice Pool Code Update
Hey everyone, rolling 10, 11, or 12 counts as an additional success. The dice pool code for our game only counts these numbers once. I reached out to a moderator to see if I could update the dice code to reflect that. However, we're limited on what we can do, and I can't update the code to show the total number of successes for those higher numbers. What I've done instead is added some additional formatting to make those numbers really stand out.
Here is an example, that result of 11 should really = 2.

Would something like this work? Could hide the total, then count the checks. :)

That is slick. Can you share the code with me?Quote:

Group Do you all have any preferences on how the dice display? See examples above.

Honestly, it doesn't matter to me, so long as it makes sense to you (being the GM).

I'm old school and prefer the dice results without accoutrement -- but I'm fine if the others want 'em. The checkmarks are neat. Remember a 10 should get 2. ;)

Thanks again for the code!
Dice Code Behavior
- Successes display ✅
- A roll of 1 displays ❌ (1s can't be pushed and have negative effects on AMMO rolls)
- The key word "Hit Location" will show where you hit the target.
- The total displayed is the sum of all dice not the count of successes. (This is helpful for AMMO rolls)

Moving forward, I'm highlighting key phrases in longer descriptions for those of you who want to just quickly scan a paragraph.

This week it looks like Harrigan is traveling and ForeverDED will be out for surgery. As a group, do we want to slow down posting for the week, or have Dmbrainiac and saevikas take lead and keep the story moving forward?
