    Fantasy Grounds Out of the Abyss Campaign

    Wow, that's brutal (a lot of windows). I have DM'd in Roll20 and found it pretty easy. What do you find the benefit of fantasy grounds to be?

    Yeah ... that makes sense now, thanks. I hadn't considered remodel housing as I thought they were mostly for drywall ... but the idea of putting it into the tile and attaching it to the joist makes sense. Do you know if this jives with most codes?

    Wiring them to the joists makes sense and seems a good idea to bolster the sag. I don't think it handles my problem, however. The 4" or 6" both connect to the grid system and sit just above it, likely touching a traditional ceiling title/panel that sits within the grid. My ceiling tiles are...

    Some IPA's have a grapefruit flavor ... and I like that. My thought was that it might accentuate the flavor I already enjoy...but it didn't really succeed on that front.

    I don't understand the Pumpking hype. I've tried it a few times over the years and think it is a bit nasty. For some reason, I get an artificial popcorn flavor from it and from Warlock (imp stout pumking). I prefer Schlafly's Pumpkin instead.

    I'm a big fan of the Benchmade stuff too. My EDC knife is a Benchmade Ritter RSK and it has served me quite well for ~5 years. It is basically a full-size griptillian with better steel in the blade. I love the Spiderco stuff too.
