Is that a Linfield kit? Not a sight I expected to see today. Wow.

I think you're right, meaning we've got him, Trippier and Manquillo who can all play left back too. Just feels like buying an actual left back would have been simpler.

Manquillo is meant to be leaving and going back to Spain. And Ashby has gone to Swansea, right?

Well, what do you expect from fans whose team's season is usually over by July (at the latest)?

 

I think that was the joke.

Turns out there's an Adventure League where I live with one off games 4 times a week. So I guess I'm trying D&D.

Bring the Oilers back permanently. 

I'm not sure the Oilers are a particularly good branding decision when every day another country seems to catch fire.

It's just a terrible game.

I wouldn't believe anyone who says they didn't see that coming.

Yeah, not at all surprising if dissapointing. Max held his line brilliantly and made it as difficult as possible for Hamilton.

Just a shame for the rest of the race. Take Red Bull out of this season and this would have been a brilliant season.

Well that was fun while it lasted.

LEWIS!

I have no idea how they're circumventing the DP rules in the MLS.

Messi and Busquets have been made DPs, two of the DPs have been shifted to a regular roster spot. Jordi Alba is also coming in one a regular roster spot. The latter three are having their additional wages covered by Target Allocated Monies, of which Miami recently traded for more of.

The heads on the CAWs are terribly out of proportion.

Of all the advances in open wheel racing over the years it's absolutely the advances in safety and structural integrity that are the most remarkable.

The fact everyone has walked away just fine from that, especially the T-bone at the ends is quite incredible.

Are his performances to a level where he's even worth the hassle anymore?

If someone wants to run an online game manageable for GMTime then let me know!

Looking elsewhere but it's all very daunting!

Managed to convince myself that Red Bull want to see how Danny Ric performs over the next couple of races and if he does well they'll dump Checo during the summer break and bump DR up to the RB seat for the rest of the season. This is me mainly trying to understand why they didn't wait until the summer break to drop DeVries.

Finished my first character build. Given I don't have a bloody clue of the world and I somewhat winged it I think I've got a decent character there (if likely a little stereotypical).

So I've gone with:

Human paladin who previously served in the military but has now pledged himself to the Girded Healers. Reserved, a bit of a grouch but Lawful Good. Proficient in intimidation and athletics.

Somehow I managed to string 21 wins in a row together on FUT. Three consecutive promotions without losing a single game. I'll probably just quit now while I'm ahead.

If you have any rules or build questions, don't hesitate to ask! I love that stuff.

I will absolutely be taking you up on this. I'm going to play around with the Beyond character build feature just to get a feel for it.

Okay, there's a few games shops locally so I'll check that out.

Would prefer local for sure although online might not be bad for figuring out what the hell I'm doing in the mean time.

What's the best way to find a local game? I'm in the U.K. if that makes any difference.

You don't have to act or have a voice or anything if you don't want to. If there is anything you need to know for the campaign, the DM should let you know.

In the game I DM, only one of my characters puts on a voice and they don't do a lot of roleplaying. They enjoy the other parts of the game more - the combat, the puzzle solving, and the plot of the story. 

That's good to know. I guess my view has been skewed by watching videos online that are hamming up the role play element.

So I've always been intrigued by D&D but it's not a thing I've ever really had happening around me and I've not particularly sought it out.

Ended up in a spot recently where I don't know anyone where I live so thought I'd try and find a place to go play but first did some looking into how the game actually plays. Watched some videos, etc. online and it's not what I expected?

I mean it looks great but didn't expect players to basically be ad-libbing their characters and acting within the game?

Also, do you have a bunch of information before the game for direction? I watched one game on D&D Beyond, three characters and two of them were just constantly asking the third if they were happy, wanted to leave where they were, intimating they were being held against their will, etc. it was so on the nose and constant that I assumed they already knew something about that third character that I'd missed?

It also kind of put me off because I'm pretty sure I'd be terrible at it 😂

They made out fine. The safety car did keep Piastri off the podium though. Loved seeing Lando up front though. It was fun while that lasted.

Yeah. The gap at the end made me wonder for half a second whether softs would have kept Lando with Max but then I realised Max was probably just managing the gap.

Time might prove me wrong but McLaren have utterly cocked up that compound choice, especially the more this safety car drags out. 

We just can't have anything nice this season.
