Wittenberg / Re: Curiosity on Eras
June 21, 2025, 02:38:11 PM
The eras leading up to the declaration of the Republic in 2004 are more significant than the ones after that. The pre-Internet era, for example, was completely different from what followed.

Which board games and RPGs Ian?

When it comes to board games, I tend not to play a particular game very much. Some favourites are Terraforming Mars, Acquire, Mansions of Madness, 7 Wonders, Power Grid, Village, London (2ed), Eldritch Horror, and Obsession, to name a few.

As for RPGs, I'm currently a player in three different D&D campaigns, one Vaesen campaign, and I GM a The One Ring campaign.

When you write "European", @Audrada Roibeardet, do you mean British? Because I don't recognize what you describe at all (except for in the UK and Ireland). Of course you don't use boiling water with all teas. Of course you have an insert for the leaves that you lift out of the pot after 2-4 minutes, depending on the tea.

My personal favourites are Chinese teas that are lighter and more floral, and white teas. I am fond of Darjeeling, though. Assam is too heavy for me (not that I'd refuse a cup!).

Sweden is very much into scented teas, chock-full of fruit peel, dried berries, and spices. Rhubarb-vanilla is a typical example. I really hate those with a passion.

I'm sorry I have been away from Wittenberg so much that I completely have missed this very sad piece of news. He might have been the best one of us all.

Oh my, completely forgot this memorable holiday. At the time I was an ex-citizen, having been blackballed by King Ben (completely unconstiutional, of course) for being a "troublemaker" (which meant that I was a peacemaker and not a warmonger). A couple of days before the event, I was tipped off that something would happen on June 1, and lo and behold! A revolution! I joined the Republic at once.

Ah, those were glorious days. However, the Kingdom was more exotic to Americans, being a monarchy, and outperformed us in the long run when it came to immigration. A pity.

Alas, we used to, but we no longer have. And no need for apologies, even though the TSF&WS was never dissolved, it doesn't mean it has been active in any meaningful way. Anyhow, you are its glorious leader now.

My apologies!  Does the society have a dedicated message board, or web presence?

Talossan Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Whiskey Society (TSFFWS) is here by re-established.

What do you mean, "re-established"? We never went away! I hereby hand over the reins to you. What's the whisky of the week? I'm OK with the added "fantasy", but please remove the "e" from whisky!

Blessings,

Ián

Wittenberg / Re: Potential Reunision Celebration
April 03, 2022, 05:02:44 AM
As fate would have it, on April 20 I would be unable to participate because I am hosting a traveller from the GTA - not a citizen himself, but he is at least an acquaintance of an Old Growther.
