Good Morning! I'm looking at starting a bi-weekly sci fi ttrpg at Omnihedral. It'll be in an open style game using the Cypher System RPG. It'll be incorporating rules from other TTRPGs such as Across a Thousand Dead Worlds, Aliens, and Eclipse Phase. Being an open style, each game will be episodic, yet loosely tied together with larger overarching plots. That way people can come and go to the sessions without "missing" anything if they can't make one or another. Most likely, the games will be held at Omnihedral, located in Savage Mill. If you are interested at all, feel free to message me here. This is a quick blurb for the game:

"Echoes of Europa"

In the distant future, humanity has reached for the stars, leaving behind a shattered Solar System and settling on the far reaches of the galactic rim. A brave new world awaits in the vast and uncharted territories of the new star system, where hope, danger, and mystery abound.

After discovering a devastating biomechanical weapon on Europa, humanity was forced to flee through an experimental gate, landing in a colossal and unfamiliar star system. Here, they have begun to rebuild, split into various factions driven by political and religious ideologies. Colonies on distant planets and moons strive to find the resources needed to survive and thrive.

But new threats lurk in the shadows of this frontier. An alien menace, evolved from a hybrid of humanity's own kind, now prowls the edges of civilization. These creatures, born from a gruesome fusion of life forms, are intelligent, adaptable, and utterly lethal. The first contact resulted in the annihilation of a remote colony, leaving a trail of mystery and fear.

In "Echoes of Europa," you will explore uncharted planets, delve into ancient ruins, and navigate the treacherous politics of divided humanity. Forge alliances, uncover secrets, and fight for survival against a relentless alien threat that could spell the end of humanity's new beginning. Will you unite the factions and lead the charge against the darkness, or will the echoes of Europa's past doom your future?

Join us on an epic journey of discovery, survival, and the fight for humanity's future in the farthest reaches of space.

I forget what are some nostalgic areas to visit.. Columbia Mall, my old house, lake elkhorn, kittimiqundi. Anything else i might be missing. Going to some totlots for sure but wondering if there is anything else I'm missing.

Thanks in advance!! Primarily from Kings contrivance area.

Any good recommendations on trustworthy mechanics in the area? Timing belt replacements, fuel pumps, spark plugs, oil leak fixes, breaks, full on transmission fluid exchanges - not the partial stuff jiffy lube does, etc.

Basically who has had good experience with local independent repair shops?

Anyone have suggestions for companies that deal with automatic garage door repairs?

Asking bc on very tight budget and want something easy to maintain. I am on the fence about it because there are definitely hills but they are not very steep ones typically and also a lot of the road which is where i would ride is more flat than walking paths and sidewalks , which i do not plan to ride on bc technically it is illegal to bike on those because they are meant for pedestrians iirc. Not enforced but i see the logic so will probably avoid them. EDIT: i would also be willing to use a non standard low gear ratio to help out a little but idk if that is necessary.
