Anyone know what’s going on? There are tons of police blocking access and I think a few ambulance.

It looks like crime rates are quickly heading back to their pre-pandemic levels. Not that they ever got anywhere near the levels of the 70s and 80s.

Since the mod has asked we post about Canada here, I thought I’d ask the question. I work for an American company and am envious at the level of mobility they have within the US. Someone can grow up in New York, go to University in Texas and then take a job in Arizona. After working for a few years, they sell their place and relocate to Florida.
Canadians don’t have that level of mobility. Apart from the Calgary’s oil patch and Toronto’s financial district, Canadians just don’t relocate much. So what could we do to improve Canadian mobility? Is it even a desirable thing to encourage?
Would having cheap flights to all major cities help? Is it a lost cause if there aren’t job opportunities?

I have some domains coming up for renewal and they are currently with Amazon. Any suggestions on a good inexpensive domain registrar?

I normally buy VEQT or VGRO, but would like to hold only non-US ETFs. Do I have to go back to buying the underlying ETFs like I did years ago, or is there an equivalent that excludes the US in its portfolio mix?

I can't seem to figure out how to transfer money from my USD Wise account to Questrade. I'm converting the USD to CAD on the Wise side. When I choose 'add recipient' and CAD to 'myself', it then prompts me for 'local bank account' information, which isn't an option for Questrade. I don't see any way to initiate it as a wire transfer...

To celebrate getting WotR:AE to the table 5 times during the holidays, I've created an insert for the tokens that fit under the AE books.

I was gifted a Nespresso Vertuo Next & Aeroccino 3 and am looking for a more adequate user manual. For example, there is no mention of "double clicking to have a more concentrated coffee extraction to pair with milk" - which is only mentioned in the (only two) recipes linked to the machine. So is that supposed to be done every time you're planning to pair with milk? Is that what it means when there is a pod that just says 'for milk'?
Can someone suggest a more comprehensive guide than what's in the box or on their website?

I was reading through OSRIC and couldn't understand the following statement on p.122 for Missile Attacks.
If a character has a missile weapon in hand, his or her missile bonus is also added to his or her initiative roll, allowing the character to potentially attack first even if his or her party has lost the initiative roll.
Say the initiative roll is party: 3, monsters: 4. So the monsters will act on segment 3 and the party will act on segment 4. A player has missile bonus of +2. How do they apply this to their initiative roll to "act first before their party"? Is it applied as a -2 to the monster initiative roll of 4, so the player acts on segment 2? It wouldn't make sense to add it to

For those who have run Arden Vul, do you think it would work with open table episodic play style? PCs have to end the session out of the dungeon and back at safety (or at least close enough that getting to safety can be hand-waved)? I'm thinking 3 hour sessions. I've run Barrowmaze this way, but I'm not sure if I can pace Arden Vul the same way.
I'm ok if occasionally PCs end up stuck in the dungeon and the next session has to continue from the same point, but the norm I'd like is to have 1:1 time passing between sessions.

Is anyone aware of additional info on the pre-Greyhawk Wars Duchy of Tenh beyond what's in the Greyhawk setting box set?
