Stopped for lunch on the way back from LARPCon. Mrs A, your stepdad found me! Gave them the best deal of all weekend. :)

Finished at more than double my original targets and even smashed my self imposed stretch goal. I can’t stop grinning tbh.

I’ll be announcing new flavours and a new Goon Special in the next couple of days, so keep your eyes open!

Yeah he happily showed me the bounty! Thanks so much for the extra, very cool and good of you :D

The fudge absolutely whips rear end. My step-dad likes fudge and it meets with his (and my) approval, and my mom doesn't like fudge but I got her to try a little bit and even she likes it.

Congrats on a successful weekend of fudge vending!! It's on the back of an extremely good product so very much deserved.

Just as a quick thing, is it points buy or rolling for stats?

You get to choose! Standard distribution (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) or roll. If you roll, roll wisely.

So what you do is roll 4d6, drop the lowest and add the rest together, x6.

If you mean a minimum for rerolling everything I dunno, if it's really bad go ahead and do it. We're here to have fun, I'm not going to be :hitler: GM or anything.

Depends, I think britain is pretty low on all the other stats and I think if your reduce those to zero it has fun effects too. 0 int I think makes you brain dead for example :v:

Do array for the top 3, 4d6 drop lowest for the bottom 3. best of both worlds.

That I definitely believe.

I do like the original Gothic cathedral style when it's all painted up in bright reds and blues like it should be, but Gothic Revival is like they saw all these crumbling churches the colour of a toilet bowl in a hard water area and said "yeah, more of this."

The logical conclusion when Gothic Revival infests a whole area is Dark Souls.

Oh yeah I like the ones where they finish the exterior with something, or I guess just if the stonework is very good and well preserved, but the excessive ornamentation combined with rough stonework and staining with age just makes it look like a mess.

If you paint it white it looks much better, IMO:

After Granda died, my Granny Sadie moved to Newtownards, so when I was a kid and stayed with her every time school was off for more than a week, I'd fly into Belfast City and we'd get a taxi home and the best moments of my childhood were the first glimpse of Scrabo Tower because then I knew I was home, at least for a little while. :3:

And further;

I loving hated having to stay with my Auntie Georgina if Granny couldn't get time off work to exactly match up with my arrival, because the room I stayed in there was like, right at the foot of the hill and the window was high up and had no curtain, so Scrabo Tower's terrible red eyes just loving stared down at me and bored into my nightmares.
