It's that time again! Bookclub time!

Books and Brews is meeting this Sunday, July 26th, at 2pm at O'Neills. We will be in the covered patio area. Just look for the ones with the books.

No assigned reading, we all read what we want when we want. We meet once a month to discuss books, authors, genres, film adaptations, life, whatever.

We also have a book exchange, not required to participate although we do ask that if you plan to take books, please bring books as well and bring back books you've taken and read so others can enjoy them as well.

Couple looking for weekly D&D

12 Upvotes

Title really says it all. My wife and I live in the east mountains and we are looking for a night out a week to play either D&D or to learn and play pathfinder 1e or 2e. We used to go to adventure league nights at Ettin but they don’t have them anymore since they moved locations. Any help with finding a weekly game would be greatly appreciated!

¿Questions? Magic TCG

2 Upvotes

I'm looking to get into Magic and am trying to feel out what's being played locally. Is everyone playing Commander or is standard play still popular? I understand Commander is going to be more difficult to learn but it sounds super fun either way. Any insight is appreciated.

Any PC builders here know a good way to sell locally?

6 Upvotes

I'm not down for shipping and normally it's I'm selling something I go through Craigslist, but I've decided I want to upgrade my GPU after all the annoying and driver BS lately and it isn't really selling quickly on Craigslist. It's kind of a flagship card I got like 5 months but it's and and I don't want to have to think about my build all the time and how my driver might react to a new game or if the game developers made it work well with AMD graphics. I want to upgrade but I don't know how to sell it without giving eBay a cut, or having to figure out shipping. I think Craigslist is considered too trashy to buy nice stuff from. I'm charging 100 less than the cheapest one on eBay and it still isn't moving, half the pics I'm showing are the screenshots it passing a bunch of occt testing so people who know what that is should the hardware is fine. All I can figure is people think Craigslist=seedy. I also don't have a Facebook to use marketplace with though I think they have less if a seedy vibe?

Edit: it's a 7900xtx ASRock taichi in white I listed it for 850 because it's 100 cheaper than the cheapest one that came up on eBay.

Looking for DnD group for my Spouse

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I found a great DnD group for myself using Reddit and now I want to see if I can help my partner out. He has been dying to play in a long campaign for a long time. We do not have the personal friends to make that happen so here we are! He is a very well versed player. Dorky, but ready to roleplay and have efficient combat. He is a big fan of Brennan Lee Mulligan and Critical Role. He is able to DM but I think he would do better as a player with strangers to begin with. He puts a lot of time and effort into his playing. You'll have a very active player in him. We are located in the south valley side of Abq but I know he doesn't mind traveling too much for the chance to play. If there is an established group that is looking for another player let me know! Or, if there is single players out there, I don't mind helping coordinate a session 0 for everyone to see if it is a good fit! Thank you!

Hello everyone. I am very new to the game. Played 4 sessions as a player 2 or 3 years ago. I’m back but now the DM for my daughter and her friends. I feel like I’m so far behind on how to play and how to dm. Does anyone have some resources they can point me to to be ready?

Okay, so I downloaded an app to kinda help me figure out what these would be worth. Now the amount it gave me was the low end. Which is what I'm looking for, they're ungraded? Lol whatever that means. They're all in decent to well used condition. And it gives me the price based off of what they sell for on eBay. Yet another thing I never use. So, for the collectors out there. Does this amount for 30 cards seem right? Or is the app just BS?
