Coming up, we've got a three-day weekend with no plans that I know of, other than starting to process tomatoes. Break out the homebrew: my first Nut Brown Ale. Delish. (Full-disclosure: NOT a homebaked hamburger bun. The shame.)...
Our previous Fresh Hop IPA had a flavor we can only describe as “plastic”. We attribute that to two things. First, we picked the hops on a Saturday and brewed with them on a Monday. While the hops were stored in a cool, dry place during that time, they did begin to oxidize. Sec...
Very cool. This entry was posted in linux, web servers on November 25, 2015 by markn. Brew Day 12 – Reddit /r/HomeBrew Collaboration APA I often frequent the /r/HomeBrewing sub-reddit and over the last few weeks a member has been developing an APA recipe based on feedback from ...
While homebrewing, you are not getting paid but you do get to enjoy the fruits of your labor. And you get to choose what those fruits are (guava acai pomegranate DIPA anyone?). Although with less consistency and control, they might not always be the sweetest fruits. There seems to be a...
s train ride across the countryside. The steam train on a narrow track over narrow stone bridges on the mountainside. Jane was keeping her eyes on the inside of the car while I would have been gazing out the window at all the things to see. There were also detailed descriptions of the ...

For BASIC, as an interpreter, it would to a large extent do similar things, but display access, IO access, etc would all be different. Bank switching on the 6502 is complicated by the fact there is no IO address space like the Z80 has. The C64 used the built in IO port of the ...
Fortunately, of the big three things I’m describing, narrative structure’s the least important. And it’s the easiest to simplify. Which is precisely what I’m going to do in this series. When I titled this Let’s Start a Simple Homebrew Campaign, it’s really the narrative structure ...
That's a holdover from the "fail by 5 or more" BS rule that 3.x had, but I agree, it was trumpeted as "Here's all these things you can do now with 3 actions per turn!" and then it became "But if you fail, it'll be worse than if you just stood still." Cast...
In 2nd Edition, this isn't nearly an issue. In fact, if I want to do something simple like increase a monster's power by more than a level, it's almost mandatory that I homebrew, since the adversary advancement and creation systems are top down. This creates an expectation and, along...
