#can i just say the new entry system is not very disabled friendly and was not forewarned

[swerveable]

We (@tessartist & me) met a cool Johnny cosplayer, and saw two other people dressed as their V's. I had a few people who recognized my cosplay.

I planned to meet Peter Cullen but his line was very long. Plus I was very tired from walking all day, and the entry line put me in a POTs episode.

I also got a Cyberpunk Edgerunners poster and bag w/ Keanu on it that says "Keani hold your things?"

It was super fun over all :3

And so it begins

I pasted this post from my Substack for convenience and will probably do so for the subsequent entries. Feel free to subscribe to the newsletter to get them as they release.

INTRO

First entry with reading notes about a "first adventure" module (we are getting meta already). I'm also getting into the dungeon23 challenge with my own twist on the formula.

I’m still forming the newsletter concept as I’m writing this entry (isn’t that the beauty of language? Barely knowing what you’re going to say before actually doing so). I would like to use this part to talk about what I’m working on and extract some of my thought process. My guess is that I’ll keep updating it endlessly because the reflection on a feature sparkle new ways to improve it again and again…

… Interestingly enough, that’s not what happened. Instead, I expanded this intro into another full-fledged article about “Skills” that I decided to separate from this entry. Maybe I’m digging writing even more than I thought. As for this part, I start to wonder if I need it at all, I’ll leave this one for posterity.

READING NOTES

In that part I’m using one RPG, Module, bunch of Articles or even Podcasts as support to raise design questions and start answering them. What catches my interest will most likely be very subjective, so don’t take that as a review (Although, it will give insights on what it’s about, so it can help you form a decision I imagine)

And for the first entry we dive into…

A Most Potent Brew - A Basic Rules Adventure

Free to grab over here

A classic I heard, and indeed, this module has a lot of good traps that … how can I say … “caught” my attention.

The first one is about finding clues in a poetry and using them to move on a specific part of a mosaic floor to avoid being cut in halves. I'm not keen on enigma, so I overlooked it. What got me thinking instead are the following two encounters that "felt" like traps:

The slowly approaching fire spider makes for a great cinematic moment (triggered memories of Queen Gohma for the connoisseur) when you finally notice the glowing silhouette that has been lurking over you from the dark.

The rat, drinking the "enlargement" potion, becoming a (larger) threat after one minute if not taken care of.

The characteristics that separate traps and encounters can easily shift, making their definition look similar. The former could be in motion and even have a state bloc if you want to leverage the combat system or opposite checks. Likewise, the latter can feel like a static puzzle with a clear way to "disable" it and avoid the bad outcome.

Now, more than lexical consideration, those two encounters share a common flow:

You enter a space with several intriguing things and clues about a threat.

A timer starts without players knowing about it.

Depending on their actions, they'll have a more or less challenging outcome.

That sounds exactly what a trap design should be. You have several options, and you need to make the right one to avoid something undesirable. The first example was a static choice clearly telegraphed as an enigma; players don’t have any time constraint to process and think it through. Contrariwise, the other two are only hinted, and the puzzle becomes to figure out what's up before it's too late.

Last note on a different aspect, I also liked the simple tension arc of the module: From a friendly pub to a mysterious old space, to a dangerous dungeon, back to the safety of the starting point for a casual debrief. I had the same vibe reading through the Hobbit when, after all their adventure, Bilbo and Gandalf walk the way back home. We could call that a “diegetic closure”, and it may have a special place in TTRPG.

BIT SIZE REVIEWS

In this section I put 3 links with just enough context so you can get if it’s worth your time. Expect to find reviews, design breakdown or even content on adjacent topics for inspiration purposes.

Art Book Excerpt (≃2 minutes) → Retro computer graphic dark fantasy by Plastiboo

It seems to be out of stock at the moment, but the picture still makes for great inspiration on a niche genre. You can follow the artist here or on Twitter.

Podcast (≃1 hour) → Designing Monsters for RPGs with Greg Stolze and Caleb Stokes by RPPR

The whole conversation feels a bit disconnected (with good vibe nonetheless).

Provides insights on horror game design with some great pitches like: A (truly) giant beast that may smash you while wandering. Players may want to "get inside" it because it doesn't digest precious metal. You’re effectively taking the position of bacteria, competing with others at a completely different scale.

Not exactly mentioned like that, but there is an interesting correlation to be made between HP and “time on screen.” If a monster as a low amount of HP, it may not live long enough to develop complex skills over an encounter. On the contrary, you don't want a large pool of HP remaining if there is nothing fresh to showcase on the next round.

Video (≃7 minutes) → Dungeon design tips by Baron de Ropp

Great collection of topics that could each become the starting point for a full design conversation.

A ROOM

This section is dedicated to actually making something. We can talk and reflect and talk again about that reflection, sparking a new one that… Gathering knowledge; accumulating ideas; you also need to just DO. That being said, I still wanted a framework, a big picture in which all my small expressions would take a deeper meaning. Sean McCoy (main designer of Mothership) happens to give me a starting point … while, in the meantime, arguing that it isn't the way to go… Thanks anyway

In this post on Substack he began a trend that you can follow with the hashtag #dungeon23 on Twitter. The goal is to make a room per day during 2023 with the hope that it might make a full-fledged mega-dungeon down the line. The idea is appealing, but I still needed to:

Connect it fictionally to my RPG Bonaventure (not at all a dungeon crawler).

Get a basic understanding of the game flow I want…

… So I can define the key points that need to be described for each space.

I didn't fully answer those points, and I shouldn’t try to, because the goal is to make something first and foremost. Here’s my initial take anyway:

I’m playing with the idea of a spiritual world living side by side with the grounded, near future backdrop of Bonaventure.

This structure struck me as a perfect opportunity to make a Roguelike: small encapsulated bits of content arranged by a system to produce an interesting level in real time (Which I would translate with “at the table” in this instance).

In addition to environment and inhabitant description (namely rooms and monsters), I want to focus on its “connectivity” (dead end, fork, pathway, loop, going deeper) and potential “foreshadowing/after effect” (how does it affect other space when it comes online)

OK ... see how quickly this section gets filled with thoughts, “DO” we said; here it comes:

Room

Two golems in a room (6 m tall) both extremely strong, but equally built. They’re similar except one as a red glyph and looks one side while the other as a different mark painted in blue and faces the opposite direction. They’re chained together with narrow yet indestructible links. The chain is just folded two times around the central pole of a giant crank. It would be easy for them to coordinate and free themselves from it, but the titans are constructing their own self by opposition with the other. If one wants or say something, its counterpart readjust to focus on the contrary.

The room is high but narrow, making movement around in golems‘ reach. Each one will seek validation of the players as they pass by. If one is confronted, it will build anger and finally attack (grabbing and tearing apart). The other will try to defend the victim, although, in a limited capacity because it keeps facing the opposite direction.

Side Content

A massive door with engraved representation of an army of golems marching in unison against a “dark figure” (this figure could be replaced with any important character already defined). This door is open if you find a way to turn the crank in the room.

Deep voice arguing over a topic; tinkling of a chain.

I love the open swim possibility for fogeys: whereas the kids have their lesson, parents may also bounce in for a swim, and that's one of the largest benefits of this swim academy.

The teachers have been universally affected person and friendly -- in actual fact, I am watching certainly one of gently persuade my cranky three-yr-previous to get in.

Jack is undoubtedly an expert swimmer, but it surely his technique of instruction, an ideal steadiness of humor, enjoyable, and self-discipline to the sport which allows my daughter to take pleasure in each and every swim lesson.

Anyone for tennis?

THE NORTH DULWICH LAWN TENNIS CLUB PRIDES ITSELF ON ITS FRIENDLY AND INCLUSIVE ATMOSPHERE – AND NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME

WORDS: LUKE G WILLIAMS; PHOTO: MARK RUSHER

Tucked away down a narrow, green pathway off East Dulwich Grove that it’s easy to pass by without noticing, the North Dulwich Lawn Tennis Club (NDLTC) possesses a touch of magic on the chilly and crisp April evening when I pay a visit to chat to committee member Ian Hirst.

Emerging from the pathway into the club is like stumbling into a hidden world – NDLTC is a tree-lined oasis of calm overlooking the platforms of North Dulwich Station, with the permanent soundtrack of tennis balls pinging off rackets forming a reassuring backdrop.

The club comprises four well-maintained hard tennis courts – replete with floodlights to allow for evening matches during the dark days of a British winter – a homely clubhouse and a “practice wall”.

Above all else though, it’s the club’s friendly and informal ethos that makes a deep impression, turning on its head the frequent stereotype that tennis clubs are socially exclusive and snotty enclaves.

“It’s very informal and relaxed, and while there are lots of opportunities for competitive matches and we have some great players, our main focus is on inclusivity and social play,” Ian explains. “There’s no dress code or anything like that, and everyone mixes together.

“However, we can’t rely on or take anything for granted. We are always thinking of ways to make sure the club is accessible and welcoming.

“For example, we recently introduced a buddy system, so that we match any new members with existing members to help them get settled in.

“People seem to join for one of two reasons: they want to keep fit or they’ve moved to the area and want to make friends. That was the case for me when I joined the club a couple of years ago.

“It can be quite daunting joining a new club so we’re constantly trying to make it easier for people who want to get involved. We always make sure we are friendly and welcoming when new people join up.”

NDLTC currently has around 250 adult members and 100-plus junior members, and runs a series of annual tournaments in addition to the regular teams who compete in senior and junior leagues.

It’s thought that NDLTC has been in existence for several decades, but the exact date of its inception is currently unclear.

“One of our members has been looking into the origins of the club for about six months,” Ian reveals. “So watch this space!

“The club has certainly been here for longer than any of our members can remember – and we have one member who turned 90 last year and still comes along on Sundays to hit the ball against the wall and occasionally also has a game with us.”

It’s an anecdote that perfectly sums up the club’s emphasis on tennis as a social and fun activity. “We have a lot of social tennis, where you don’t need to book a court, you just show up,” Ian says.

Young players and members are also encouraged. “Every Saturday morning we run back-to-back coaching sessions for kids, while a group of us take it in turns to run the canteen and cafe. Our juniors start really young – just six years old.”

Each year the club also arranges a host of social events, with the recent inaugural NDLTC Mixed Davis Cup having proved particularly successful.

The cup took place on March 30 and supported the fundraising efforts of club members Ian Poole and Lucy Pickles, who are running the London Marathon to raise money for VICTA and Leukaemia UK.

The event saw 40 competitors split into eight teams of five players and randomly assigned to one of eight nations: France, Australia, Serbia, Brazil, South Africa, USA, Spain and India.

The players were encouraged to sport attire relevant to their adopted nation and also brought along homemade food to share, including spinach pie from Serbia, tapas from Spain, biltong from South Africa and feijoada (a black bean stew) from Brazil.

“We hope to make it an annual event, supporting a different local charity each year,” Ian says. “It was a really fun and successful event. We had people wandering in from the streets to see what was going on because they saw all the flags.

“We raised over £2,200 for VICTA and Leukaemia UK through entry fees, a barbecue, raffle and a cake sale with generous donations from competitors, guests and local businesses. It was brilliant how many local businesses in Dulwich sponsored or donated items for the raffle for the event. We were overwhelmed by the response we had.”

Local links are important to the club, which is seeking to expand its already impressive work supporting and facilitating wider access to tennis within the local community.

“We are absolutely committed to our community work,” Ian says. “We host the Southwark schools’ tennis finals day each year. The Charter School uses our club on a Thursday afternoon for tennis coaching that we organise. We also host sessions for the University of the Third Age on Fridays as well. And we’d like to do even more in the future.”

The club is also looking at ways to increase female participation. “We are very keen on encouraging more female tennis players,” Ian says, “particularly girls, who sometimes seem to give up playing at around the age of 10 or 11. A couple of our female members are also acting as great role models to encourage our thriving junior section.”

A further challenge for the future is continuing to redevelop and improve the club’s facilities.

“We recently successfully funded a new roof, and now we want to replace our toilet and changing block with something more modern and comfortable for people, especially schools and [also have] better disabled access,” Ian explains.

“We’re in the process of meeting with architects about that and then we will look at getting funding together. That’s one of our next steps as a club and will probably take a few years.”

Of course, none of these events, or the club itself, would be possible without the countless hours of work and commitment that members of the club’s active committee devote to NDLTC.

“Being involved with the club is a real labour of love,” Ian emphasises, sentiments which are clear from leafing through the handsome and glossy 32-page club newsletter that is produced every six months.

“No one is paid for their work or anything like that, but thanks to a lot of volunteering we make the club work.”

To Cambodia, with love

When I last posted, I was heading to Cambodia. I was there for three weeks exactly and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Maybe that was because up until a week before I left for Cambodia, I didn't have any plans on stepping foot there. But the people were so friendly, and the cities were interesting. After a miscommunication with my volunteering position, I found myself in Phnom Penh, the capital city. Contrary to most opinions I came across, I really liked Phnom Penh. It has a bad rap... I mean yes, it's a big city Southeast Asia, with all the sights and smells and noises that entails, and yes, there is crime and yes, people are going to try and scam you. But even so, I found myself really enjoying the city. It's a busy hub, there's lots to do and I just found the hustle and bustle so amazing. Cambodia's recent past is horrendous, but you wouldn't know that from walking around the city. There are green spaces, tons of new buildings being built, people laughing and joking - it's just so full of life.

After Phnom Penh, I made my way up to Siem Reap. I mostly just went here for it to act as a base for my trip to Angkor Wat, which is hands down my favourite temple visiting experience so far. Angkor Wat is a UNESCO World Heritage site and you can get a variety of different passes. I opted for a one day pass, because I was doing a tour with my hostel and there were already a number of temples on our to-see list. I figured anything more would have been overkill (temple fatigue is a real thing). I woke up at 4am in order to take part in the sunrise tour option. It was pretty awesome, even though the sunrise was a tad anticlimactic. One second it was still pre-dawn, I blinked, then it was post-dawn. But after standing outside for a bit, we got to go in and explore and that's when the fun began.

I love wandering through old ruins and imagining what it looked like before, when it was new, when the people were living there when it was the seat of the Khmer Empire in the 9th - 15th century. You can almost put the building back together in your mind, like a flashback scene in a movie. We got to see Angkor Wat, Angkor Tom (including Bayon Temple), Ta-Keo, Ta-Prohm and Banteay Kdie.

After Siem Reap, I spent 13 hours on a bus and arrived in Kampot! It's a small, almost sleepy, little town in the south of Cambodia. It's located right on the Mekong River, the longest river in Southeast Asia. It was a very chill week I spent here. I actually booked into a hotel for most of it. My anti-social nature and the fact that I was battling a stomach bug won out and I decided to treat myself for a night... which turned into five. It rained everyday, one day for 5 minutes, one day for the entire afternoon. I went and watched Rouge One in a little movie house and ate pasta at an adorable Italian restaurant. I went everyday to a cafe called Epic Arts Cafe. This cafe is an organization that raises money for disabled persons in Cambodia. Most of the staff at the cafe were actually deaf. The food was fantastic (the giant chocolate chip cookies were A-MAZING).

Kampot, on the banks of the Mekong River, featuring some dark rain clouds.

A picture from one of the many alleys I wandered down in Kampot.

The food in Cambodia is what really stuck out to me. And that's because it was so Western. I don't know if it was the sudden return of Western influences after the Khmer Rouge occupation, my own laziness or a combination of the two, but I ate pizza, burgers, bagels, burritos, and Oreos. So many Oreos. I don't know why, I'm not even a huge fan of Oreos, but there is something exciting about getting such an everyday snack in a foreign land that makes it 100% more delicious. Not to say that I just ate Western style food. There was a street cart around the corner from my hostel and the lady there made amazing noodles, for the bargain price of $1 USD.

Also, I found Cambodia expensive, overall. I mean, sure, beer was 0.75 cents, and by the standards in Canada, everything is a bargain. But I just found I was spending money left and right, $6 here, $4 here and suddenly before I knew it, I had to go back to the ATM and face those dreaded transaction fees. Another factor that might have affected my perception was Cambodia's system of dual currency. You give vendors American, often times you are given Cambodian riel back, or a combination of the two. 4000 riel equals approximately 1 USD, so you can imagine the amount of paper cash that comes your way, even for just a few dollars change. And since most prices are listed in USD, it was hard to do the conversion sometimes on the spot (I tend to panic when I get to a check out counter, and always, always my mind blanks). So, every couple of days, I had to purge my purse and would find myself with a wad of riel, all of which all look similar, which makes trying to do conversions and find the correct notations difficult.  

I know I didn't see all there was to see in Cambodia. I didn't even attempt to go to Koh Rong (I knew I was going to be at the beach in Thailand, so I wanted to save up all my beach excitement for that). There are tons of national parks and day trips and activities I didn't do. Unfortunately, I think I just used Cambodia as a pit stop, an extended visa run before my re-entry into Thailand. And I couldn't really get out of that mindset, so I let myself miss things. Next time though, there will be lots for me to do!

RVing in BC - tips and hints.

If you are contemplating a similar type of journey, here are a few thoughts and tips I have picked up on the way;

THE RV

The one we chose was big. Our thinking was that it had to cope with four for the first week, and Ann and I wanted an island bed so we didn’t have to crawl over each other for a loo visit during the night. That left two single overcab beds for Andrew and Rhys. Rhys was fine, but I don’t think Andrew was too comfortable. The overcab beds are best left for kids.

The RV had a slideout which moved the dinette seats and table out by 2 feet or so and created a load more space inside. This was most welcome when four were aboard. However, for two the van was a bit bigger than necessary.

These beasts have huge V10 petrol engines, which makes them superb long distance chuggers. The consequence is having a $150 fuel bill every refill. Canadians pay the same in dollars as we pay in Pounds which means at current exchange rates fuel is about one third cheaper. As you would imagine, all RV’s have an automatic gearbox, but no handbrake – so keep your foot on the brake at traffic lights or you will creep forward. There is a foot brake instead of a hand brake but it is awkward to use.

Our RV had both cab and habitation air conditioning, and both were necessary and welcome. All windows and doors had insect screens and night curtains. There were adequate mains sockets, 12v and USB outlets, but not always logically placed. Most rental companies will disable the awning (too many return damaged, apparently) and the on board generator (although CanaDream say you can use theirs, but have to pay $75 as soon as you fire it up). There is no need for either in any case.

You see rental RV’s everywhere. The big players are Cruise Canada, CanaDream and Fraserway, who all have depots in Vancouver. It is also possible to do a one way trip, say from Calgary to Vancouver, but it costs a bit more. It is worth remembering that no rental firm will allow you to drive off on arrival – you must spend at least one night in a hotel to get over jetlag. If you choose one of their recommended hotels near the airport CanaDream will collect you in the morning (you can book the hotel through CanaDream, but it will be cheaper to do it yourself either direct or through Booking.Com). We used the Sandman Signature as Andrew had a free voucher for it, but there are cheaper ones available. Note that breakfast will not usually be included in the price.

 THE SITES

All the sites I chose had 50amp mains and water supply. There were some pitches that only had 30amp supply, but avoid these as it is not powerful enough to run the air conditioner. Most sites also had sewage disposal in situ, but if not usually had a disposal point by the exit. Servicing the RV with water input, and grey (sink, shower) water and black (toilet) water outlet is simple.

We paid anywhere between $36 and $50 per night on a full hookup site.

WiFi can be problematical. All sites (apart from the Parks Canada sites in Banff) offer WiFi, but few are powerful enough to be picked up from the RV. You will have to walk up to the office but even then we often found the service oversubscribed and painfully slow. Andrew got us a local data SIM which we loaded into my phone for emergency use, but overall communications in Canada is expensive – the SIM only gave 3GB of data for the same price that would get 10GB or more in UK.

Al l the sites had basic but clean shower and toilet facilities. Some had coin operated showers, and some also had laundry machines.  Just bring enough clothes for a week and you’ll be OK.

There was a bench table at each pitch on all the sites we used, but these are not particularly comfortable for lounging. Andrew brought some folding canvas “director style” chairs, but you can buy them quite cheaply in any Canadian Tire chain store (think B&Q but bigger and better). Some sites also provided fire pits and supplied wood for it, but with the campfire ban in place at time of writing these couldn’t be used.

Because of the ban (which even includes charcoal BBQ’s – in fact anything that could give off embers) we bought a small unit powered by a small disposable screw on gas cylinder and found it more than adequate. It is possible to connect to the RV’s own gas tank, but the cost of the extension hose and special plug in connector is more than the cylinder. Work on the cylinder lasting a week.

There are mozzies and midges in Canada, but they are not as aggressive as in Thailand, or as persistent as Scotland. Buy some insect repellent spray on arrival, and use daily. The local wasps are inquisitive but harmless.

EATING OUT, FOOD AND ALCOHOL

Bloody expensive! Alcohol isn’t as freely available as in UK, and you have to go to licensed alcohol shops. There are one or two in each town, but the cheapest (and best) is BC Liquor, a Government owned and run chain. Expect to pay around $15 (£10) for an ordinary bottle of wine. Beer is a little more reasonable, but despite all the craft beers available, don’t expect too much of interest to the bitter drinking man. Pale ale seems to be an adequate substitute, but if lagers are your thing then you are in heaven (but in poverty).

Everywhere you go you will find Tim Horton food outlets. Avoid them like the plague, they are awful. There are loads of chain fast food outlets such as A&W and Dennys, which we haven’t tried, but we do like White Spot. This is a BC chain that is a step above the others both for breakfast or lunch. Again, though, don’t expect to find it cheap, but if you want decent pancakes or Eggs Benedict for breakfast then this is the place. Little diners attached to petrol stations can be a pleasant surprise.

This bit really riles me. It is the norm here to tip at about 15%. Credit card machines will add it on automatically, and not only that, the price you read on the menu is before tax! At the end of your meal you are paying about 30% more than the advertised price!

 CANADIANS

Absolutely no complaints here. They are super friendly and helpful, laid back and non aggressive. However, you can get very tired of Country music on the radio very quickly. They really do want to be living the outback life here, and every house you see outside of the big towns has an RV on the drive, complete with canoes, fishing gear and mountain bikes, all ready to go at a moment’s notice.

 DRIVING

Surprisingly easy, even in a big RV. The lanes are wide and you soon get over the tendency to position yourself too close to the right edge of the road. On the main highways the speed limit is usually 100 k/hr, and people stick to it in the main. Uphill sections usually are dual carriageway, and the left lane is only used for overtaking. Be very careful through road works as points and fines are doubled (and police patrolled), but you are given plenty of notice in advance of them. You will have cruise control on the RV, and it is easy to set and unset.

Junctions can be a bit confusing, and in town suburbs you can get a Canadian standoff where nobody has priority. You work it out between yourselves, but usually the first one there will take the lead. Sometimes you need a left turn off a dual carriageway, so if there is no filter lane give plenty of notice of you intentions – they will know what you are trying to do.

This is a big, big country and taking 3 or 4 hours to get anywhere is common. Just relax, enjoy the sights, and the miles will fly by.

PAPERWORK

Don’t forget you need to apply for an electronic visa well before you arrive, and these are valid for 5 years and multiple entries. Do not arrive without one or you will be in trouble. Immigration is done by electronic cubicles that connect your passport to the visa, and compare your face to the passport photo.

There is no need to get an International Driver’s Licence, but I would suggest bringing a spare pair of driving glasses.

MONEY

All petrol stations are prepay. Just insert your card, tell it how much in dollars you want and fill up. If you overestimate your needs the balance is refunded to your card later (but it may take a few days).

We made great use of a new system called WeSwap. You join up in the UK and get a WeSwap card in the post, load it online with Sterling and then do a swap with whatever currency you want. You have the choice of an instant swap at 2% commission, 3 day swap at 1.5%, or 7 day swap at 1%. The exchange rate used is way better than you get using your normal debit or credit cards. The whole setup is backed by Mastercard, so you can use it anywhere. Just go online to check your remaining balance or reload and swap. Simple and very clever. Look it up.

We did bring cash with us, but have used remarkably little (for Canada) so far.

Any questions? Email me on jadmcc@gmail.com.

I love participating in game jams , where game developers get collectively to craft games in a really brief amount of time. We have a good deal of expertise designing and developing mobile games of all sorts, but our specialty is multiplayer. In addition, as opposed to a lot of mobile games, the Clash of Clans incorporates a social aspect, so the players are encouraged to interact in order to succeed. To me this seems to be an outstanding idea, for the reason that all the girls I know have mobile phones and they like to play these easy games that are readily installed on them. There are adult dice games that are as simple as creating a roll and subsequent factor you know the clothing is coming off. Security through hardware commonly relies on rigid, purpose constructed systems, and are not friendly towards dynamic and computation heavy applications such as games. For example, disabling safety controls, bypassing business enterprise guidelines, licensing restrictions, acquiring specifications or ad displays in the mobile app — and potentially distributing it as a patch, crack or even as a new application. So with these hacks you can get infinite quantity of balls and a absolutely free premium account( upgrade ). FIFA 2005 Mobile Edition: In its newest isometric viewpoint, it makes it possible for the player to play realistically. With this range, it is possible for game designers to opt for the area which they like the most and study to generate games in those places. This can be risky in the mobile games business but it is surely far more fun for item improvement. Super Mario Run is Nintendo's first officially entry to the smartphones by means of Apple's App Store. With each other with these and other popular hardware of Pc such as a show monitor, keyboard and mouse games can be conveniently played. David: Portion of our business enterprise entails the distribution of mobile games from other developers to channels in the Asia-Pacific marketplace, so I do get to play a lot of games as they come in and from time to time I get a little addicted to them and obtain myself playing them on the bus every morning. David: To be honest I have not definitely produced significantly effort to look into games on the iPhone, possibly simply because I don't have one!

'Gwyneth glows like a radioactive swan' – my day at the Goop festival | Life and style

Culver City, Los Angeles, is socked in by haze, and a line of women in black athleisure – more blondes than one is accustomed to seeing in one place at one time – stretches down the block. Each has paid between $500 and $1500 (£390 and £1,175) to stand in this line and attend In Goop Health: Presented by Goop, the inaugural “health and wellness expo” of Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand, Goop.

People are excited, a little nervous and giddy. It feels as if we are waiting for the bus to summer camp, if your summer camp gives out free lube and Nicole Richie is there. At 9am the beefy security team parts and we pour into a courtyard where employees sort us into more lines based on how much we have paid to be here. Colour-coded bracelets indicate whether you are a Lapis ($500), Amethyst ($1,000) or Clear Quartz ($1,500) Gooper. More money means more activities: a foam roller workout, a “sound bath”, even lunch with “GP” herself in the “Collagen Garden”. Apparently, a prohibitively expensive, celebrity-studded self-help salon isn’t exclusive enough: the very rich can’t have fun without a little class hierarchy.

We pass into a second courtyard, which offers clusters of tasteful white furniture ringed by a variety of “wellness adventures”. In one corner, you can sit cross-legged on a cushion and the “resident Goop shaman” will tell you which crystal you “need”. In the opposite corner is a woman who will photograph your aura in a little tent. There is an oxygen bar and an IV drip station. And there is food, of course, just in very small pieces: tiny vegan doughnuts, quinoa and lox swaddled in seaweed, ladles of unsalted bone broth, fruit.

I take a lap of the courtyard and the cavernous hangar where we will be spending the next nine hours (there is no re-entry). Inside, interspersed among the Goop-approved matcha and coconut-water stalls, is the Goop Marketplace, where attendees can buy face potions, rolling pins and Tory Burch’s new line of active wear. For $55, you can buy one of the jade eggs that Goop famously suggested women carry around in their vaginas. Or, a rose quartz egg, if you have “seen results with the jade egg and want to take your practice a step further”. I head back outside and get in line for the shaman.

Turns out, the shaman is a little backed up, so they are scheduling appointments instead. A friendly employee writes my name on a clipboard and tells me to come back at 4.05pm. The line for aura photography is even longer. I wait about 10 minutes before a staffer announces that the schedule is full and we are all fired from the line, but we can check back later. That’s fine. Everyone is feeling good. Employees weave through the crowd with trays of probiotic juice. I decide I like the Goop expo. It is silly, but most of us seem to be in on the joke – like Dungeons and Dragons for your vaginal flora. Why not?

I don’t believe that my proximity to crystals (or lack thereof) has any effect on my wellbeing, but I don’t think it is interesting or sophisticated to mock people who do. These women are having fun. They are sitting on pillows and connecting with each other. It is the kind of spontaneously intimate conversation that happens among women all the time, dressed up in the language of magic and, sure, monetised.

As long as you are not promising miracles and swapping carnelian for childhood vaccines, organising your inner life around crystals doesn’t seem much different than organising it around “bullet journalling”. There is a line, of course, between having fun with rocks and exploiting people’s fears for profit, and I am expecting to approach that soon enough.

I wander back inside and there she is, gliding through the Bulletproof Coffee line like our priestess. Here is just a true fact: Gwyneth glows like a radioactive swan. She emits light. She would be great in a power outage. Though the FAQ specifically directed attendees to wear athleisure (with a link to the Goop store’s athleisure page – just to be helpful!), Gwyneth appears to be wearing a sirocco of flower petals. She leads us, her flock, into the auditorium and the real show begins.

After a brief history of Goop (“I started to wonder: Why do we all not feel well? Why is there so much cancer? Why are we all so tired?”), Paltrow introduces her personal physician, Dr Habib Sadeghi, DO. He talks for an hour about “cosmic flow”; his left testicle; the “magnificence” of Gwyneth (“I’ve been down and I’ve touched her feet … and I’ll do it again”); and his belief that “consciousness precedes phenotypic expression”, which means, basically, that all ailments are on some level psychosomatic and your ovarian cysts are really just little nodules of emotion – or something.

The next panel, on gut health, counters Sadeghi’s consciousness theory with the assertion that all human illnesses are caused by antibiotics, ibuprofen, caesarean sections and legumes. The human gut is a rich rainforest, they say. Antibiotics are “napalm”, and taking one ibuprofen is “like swallowing a hand grenade”. Someone relates an anecdote about a marathon runner who had to get a faecal transplant from her fat niece, and it made the marathon runner fat. In mice, faecal transplants have been found to make fat mice thin, and anxious mice calm. Oh, my God, I realise. Paltrow is going to start selling her own poop.

Dr Steven Gundry, author of The Plant Paradox, reveals that from January to June inclusive, he consumes all his calories between 6pm and 8pm, because “we evolved to search for food all day and then fast”. It’s funny how our understanding of human evolution – of the point at which we were once our truest selves – can shift according to which restrictive diet is on-trend that day. Next to each of our chairs is a complementary bottle of hot-pink, watermelon-flavoured water, sickly-sweet with Stevia. You know, just like the cavemen used to drink.

Gundry argues that human beings aren’t meant to eat any plants native to North America, because we are native to “Africa, Europe and Asia”. At one point, Dr Amy Myers casually distinguishes between the gut bacteria Asian people need (because “they” eat a lot of seaweed) and the gut bacteria that “we” need. You don’t have to glance around the room to know who “we” are.

In Goop Health is shockingly white – even to me, a blond, white person who went in expecting whiteness. Obviously, this is anecdotal – I haven’t conducted a census – but I don’t recall seeing more than 10 people of colour among the attendees, and that’s a generous estimate. The panellists are almost exclusively white. I wonder if anyone at Goop brought up the lack of diversity in their speakers during the planning stages, or anticipated this criticism. But to acknowledge it would be to acknowledge politics, and In Goop Health stays as far away from politics as it can get.

However, an event supposedly focused “on being and achieving the optimal versions of ourselves”, as Paltrow put it during her welcome address, cannot truly be depoliticised. You can’t honestly address “wellness” – the things people need to be well – without addressing poverty and systemic racism, disability access and affordable healthcare, paid family leave and food insecurity, contraception and abortion, sex work and the war against drugs and mass incarceration. Unless, of course, you are only talking about the wellness of people whose lives are untouched by all of those forces. That is, the wellness of people who are disproportionately well already.

Towards the end of his speech, Sadeghi tells a story about an epiphany he had in the anatomy lab. He says he discovered that the first valve of the heart flows straight back into the heart: “Selfish little organ there! No, no, not selfish – self-honouring. Wooo! What a difference! I could never give anything to anybody – ask my beloved wife – until I take care of me. Until my needs are met. Right? Right? When you fly down, the first thing that they tell you is that before you put the mask on anybody else, put it on yourself.”

I hear that idea repeated over and over again at the Goop conference – take care of yourself so you can take care of others. Put your mask on first. Hold space for yourself. Be entitled. Take. At a certain point, it begins to feel less like self-care and more like rationalisation. I don’t know anything about the personal lives of the women at In Goop Health – who they give money to, what hardships they have endured, why they were drawn to this event – and every person I interact with is funny and smart and kind and self-aware. But it is self-evident and measurable that white people in the US, in general, are assiduous about the first part of that equation (caring for ourselves) and less than attentive to the second (caring for others).

It is OK to love skin cream and crystals. It is normal and forgivable to be afraid of dying, afraid of cancer, afraid of losing your youth and beauty and the currency they confer. We have no other currency for women. I understand why people spend their lives searching for that one magic supplement, that one bit of lore that will turn their “lifestyle” around and make them small and perfect and valuable for ever. I also understand, especially at this moment in history, why people long to step outside of politics for a day and eat kale-flavoured ice cream (real, not satire, actually good) in a warehouse full of Galadriels. But the idea that anything is apolitical is an illusion accessible only to a very few. And the absolute least the Galadriel-in-chief ought to do is acknowledge that.

At 4.05pm I dash outside for my shaman appointment, only to be told they are running about an hour behind. “Should I come back in an hour,” I ask. “I mean, you could try,” the woman says in a way that means, “No”, or maybe, “Not with that bracelet”.

For her keynote to close the day, Paltrow purports to dissect the complexities and woes of being a working mother with a panel of famous gal pals: Cameron Diaz, Tory Burch, Nicole Richie and Miranda Kerr. How do they do it? How do they have it all? The women deliver a bounty of platitudes about ambition, female friendship, self-care, their mothers and sticking to one’s “practice”. They are charming and humble. Richie is funny. But at no point do any of them say the words: “I HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY AND A STAFF.” In the context of a conversation about the challenges facing working mothers, the omission is, frankly, bizarre. It is a basic responsibility of the privileged to refrain from taking credit for our own good fortune. They might as well have been reading from Ivanka Trump’s book proposal. As with all the other panels, they do not take questions.

There is one moment I can’t stop thinking about. Near the end, Kerr casually mentions that she once tried leech therapy as part of her wellness practice: “One was on my coccyx because it’s really good to, like, detox the body, rejuvenate the body … I had a leech facial as well. And I kept the leeches. They’re in my koi pond.”

I am fat. I was the fattest person at the Goop expo. Strangers regularly contact me to tell me that I’m unhealthy and I’m going to die. A sampler from my emails:

“Being obese is NOT OK. It is associated with many health risks including: diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and premature death. Go lose some weight you fat slob, and do it before you go on disability so we don’t have to pay for you.”

“I don’t know what sort of message you are trying to send out to young girls/women, but that it is OK to be obese, and it is some sort of feminist sin to want to keep to a natural healthy shape can’t be a good one.”

Kerr’s body is almost certainly what those people mean when they say “a natural healthy shape”, because our society conflates conventional beauty with health. But, I don’t know – I might be fat, but I’ve never felt like I needed to get an IV drip on a patio in Culver City or put leeches on my butt to suck out toxins, and I’m grateful for that.

I guess Goop did make me feel well after all.
