Session Report: Root.

𝗥𝗼𝗼𝘁 by Leder Games and designed by Cole Wehrle with Kyle Ferrin as an Artist, doesn’t need a lot of words, I guess, as by now, everybody in the boardgaming community knows, how great this game is. Since a couple of months, we have a monthly get together at our local boardgame bar Das Brett, to dive deeper into the game, cause this deserves to get played regularly. Not only are we trying out…

My sweet old bastard wolf Nail and his adopted fox ward Dende.

The Root RPG is very good and I highly recommend it. I’ve been playing a campaign in it about a year and I like it more then D&D at this point.

clove hears about a job from an old cat. a simple robbery nothing he hasn't done before, unfortunately punching above your weight in a proverbial powder keg with two fellow thieves that you are now stuck with is not a good idea.

Do the people know popular board game ROOT's woodland alliance faction was inspired by counter intelligence and insurgency war games specifically one of which (the COIN system) which was made by someone who worked in the CIA.

Been playing marvel Rivals these past months, it's fun !

Wanted to draw my favorite character in the style of Kyle Ferrin (Root), because I'm an absolute fan and I want to buy every boardgame he illustrated

Since a couple of months, we have a monthly get together at our local boardgame bar Das Brett, to dive deeper into the game, cause this deserves to get played regularly.

Not only are we trying out the many different factions, we also explore the different mini expansions and maps of the game.

The last time we played the game, we tried the lakeside map, which changes the geography and connections in a big way, as there's a huge lake in the middle of the map. You either can try to go around it, which takes some time to get from A to B, or you can use the boat, that's an integral part of this map variant.

Using the boat not only gets you faster to where you wanna go, also, whenever you use it, you're allowed to draw a card, which makes this option very rewarding.

Generally this map is a lot of fun and adds to the tactical decision space the game already offers, and I can only recommend it, to give the game a little bit of variety in between.

But not every faction profits from this map variant in the same way. It's mostly for factions, that don't have it that easy to move around on the map. For example, we had The Underground Dutchy and the Maquis de Cat in play and both factions have a big radius of movement already. Also the Corvid Conspiracy, that was also in play, don't have to move a lot, as they can recruit into almost every space on the map.

Therefore the boat wasn't used that often and I think that map variant would have made more sense, with other factions on play, that have it harder to get around.

Still definitely wanna explore this map and it's tactical possibilities more, so for sure gonna play it again.

Autumn and winter is a RUBBISH time for my love of solarpunk to be rekindled, because so much of what I can act on is guerrilla gardening. Alas, here I am, getting back to my solarpunk roots.

Do you have any suggestions for solarpunk activities we can work on in the cold months?

God I feel for this!!! Winter always feels like such a festering time to be in love with solarpunk. Not to mention how starved we are for winter content for solarpunk and lunarpunk in general. But yeah!! Here's some ideas to do in winter!!!

Out and about:

There are a lot more social clubs in your city then you'd expect! I know 2 different community associations in my city that have social clubs that go in adult field trips (like to farms and cafes ans boardgame places!!)! And have crafting clubs! And the best part is if their in your community, it's within a decent walk of you but it's almost always walkable!

Using a library!! For anything! Everything! In my provenance we got a saying "Use it or they

Graffiti- leaving kind messages or fun stickers all over the place isn't really a weather restricted activity for the most part. I know someone who made a Playlist filled with union songs and rebellion songs and put a code for it and links to how to unionize on stickers and did that.

Adopt a stop- more cities have these then you might think! But adopt a stop programs basically let you take care of a certain bus stop and this lets you add things (like good benches, shoveling and removing ice, asking the city to add heaters, etc..) you become the advocate for that bus stop. If your city doesn't have a program like it yet you can ask your city or community to start one since it saves a bunch of money on maitance costs!

At home:

Archiving and pirating - highly recommend doing it in a physical sense if you can afford it. Bc then you can give them out as gifts!

Create!! - Sewing, sewing for friends, knitting gloves/scarfs for ppl who might need it, make art to inspire others via writing or drawing or other mediums! Gift economies require gifts after all so make some!

Learn! - learning a new skill, like canning or how to install solarpanels. Researching in general, but also keeping up to date with local politics and what you can do on the ground there. Building up knowledge is such as useful even if it doesn't feel like your doing anything.

Connect! - Shoveling neighbors walkways, or in general connecting with the ppl in your immediate surroundings! They can help you out in ways you couldn't imagine, someone didn't bake often so they gave me 15lbs of flour!! And their extra pair of snow boots, I hadn't had snow boots since I was 12 years old and it meant the world to me. The pizza I taught her daughter to make and a cheap meal for them meant the world for them. These small acts really are what tie each other together.

Plan! - plan for next year, what kind of equipment can you gather? What do you wanna accomplish next growing season? Seed swaps are also a fun thing I know ppl will do in winter as they start preserving food!

Reading TGCF: Chapter Five

For those who don't know, I am reading TGCF for the first time and sharing my thoughts!

If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.

Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag Bloopitynoot reads TGCF. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read BUT if you followed along with my SVSSS read, the rules and vibe are the same.

Happy New Year!

I was doing new year's day things today (playing boardgames and making steamed buns) so tonight I have my night time tea with this chapter (chamomile).

This is probably the cutest tea I own; the little flowers bring me so much joy. I also hope it knocks me tf out so I get a good night's rest before I go back to work from break tomorrow XD

Let's go chapter 5!

Oop! I was not expecting the boy to have a face of several faces! p143

Oh no baby! Come back, poor kid :( p145

(This art though- it does NOT do the description justice! I was expecting way more baby faces and for it to be significantly more frightening. He just looks like a sweet lil guy. I still want to adopt him and cook him soup.)

Okay but tell me why I love the dynamics between Nan Feng and Fu Yao? These little bickering cuties. Like get married already. p145

BYE. "Please, your cross-dressing wasn't that terrifying" p146

Human Face Disease :( How'd he get it though? pp146-147

omg. Xie Lian brought the body of Xiao-Ying into the tea shop. This guy is going to owe so much in reparations to the shop owner. p148

Good for Fu Yao for affirming Xie Lian's gender presentation! We love a supportive king! "Was I talking to General Pei Junior in this dress the whole time? Nan Feng, why didn't you remind me?" "Probably because you looked so obviously happy in it," Fu yao replied. p148

Jeeze. This woman is too much. Not Xuan Ji offering the corpses too. I thought this was the work of the Green Ghost but it really was her working for him this round. p152

okay! Butterfly man is Hua Cheng and WTF four calamities??!! p153

oooo! He sounds so dang cool! A ghost- rad. Wraith butterflies; even cooler! Crimson Rain Sought Flower- so hot. p155

Wait! and he is a shapeshifter?? pls the fic potential, I am so stoked! p156

AND he's powerful??? Say less, I'm already rooting for this Chaotic Neutral Icon. pp157-158

HE'S ALSO SMART?? What is this guy's weakness?? p158

Same xie lian! The death butterflies were cute! p161

I hope we see more of the little man

I am so sad Xie Lian couldn't find the Human Face Disease and centuries old (probably) boy. I loved that little guy. He really seems like he's been through it.

BUT ALSO! We have Hua Cheng's name, and some info that may or may not be rumours? I will take it though.
