I had a Philips BT7220 for 10 years now. Battery is still ok, but it sometimes snags my beard and makes it so i have split hairs down the line (I wish i could find a replacement head + blade but so far no luck). I would ideally use something ONLY for the beard and not a multi groomer, if there is a multi groomer product that has some quality build then feel free to tell me.

I heard a lot about the Norelco, especially the 7900 series but the thing i hate about these products is the seventy different products with tiny differences. Most things i see online are geared towards Wahl, Brio in the US, but I wanted Braun, Philipps.

What do you guys think of these two i found?

Philips

Braun Series 7

I managed to snag Reach Adventures 1-5 cause i read and heard that High & Dry might be a nice starting adventure.

I saw Skorkowsky's videos, and even his Secrets of the Ancients.

Currently reading through character creation.

Now to my questions.

I saw H&D is on Walston, but the other Reach Adventures are barely close by, with the H&D they'd be at least 2 weeks away from every adventure, and there seems to be no connection in between the adventures themselves (i thought there was).

Is it even worth to try and connect all the adventures together? Would that be a lot of work?

I've been checking travellermap.com and i can print out a booklet with all the planets on a hex grid, but i read most people say here and on Skorkowsky's videos that it's best to focus on one sector and just start from there (I tend to agree, hundreds of planets at your disposal will 100% paralyse my players), so how should i go about adventures? On one hand i want to respect preestablished lore and UWPs, on the other i don't know how to make my players go to a sector adjacent to the beginning one unless it's just "you guys got a job here now" and using the excuse of guaranteed work for the players.

Also, i should make the players create characters from the sector they'll play in right? thanks!

We've been playing for a year Rime of the Frostmaiden. Two of the players, since the beginning, but now more, have been almost sleeping at the table. One of them in particular is the least engaged and i saw him sometimes basically nodding off. Now i understand we're all in our 30s, long days, working till late, but we play evenings cause they want the weekends free.

I can understand being tired, i'm the first with a trash sleep schedule, but as i say with another player, RPGs tend to take out that little energy you have left and concentrate it, no matter how tired you are you still feel a bit energised to try and understand where the session is going.

Sure, this could be a talk with the player, but i know that this will probably go nowhere with "man i wake up at Xam and i gotta work Yhours, of course i'm tired etcetc". So i ask you guys how you dealt with it.

hello! my ginger bug developed a mold in the fridge and i started a new one.

Pediococcus. For the 4th time. I read that pH helps kill it, and it's getting less ropey 2 days after i put some lemon juice in it and topped with water. Should i just be patient for another 1/2 days?

Since there is no wiki, do you guys have a master recipe i can use? I saw some people use just juice from the store, ginger bug and some sugar. Any other way?
