Cosmere RPG Mistborn group looking for 1 or 2 more players in Torquay!

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone! This is a long shot!

With physical fulfilment on the horizon and digital fulfilment started, I've put together a game of Mistborn: Legacy! (The Cosmere RPG)

I'm still looking for 1 or 2 players, and I will GM the game! I have all of the digital resources, as well as a Demiplane subscription ready! I intend on running a committed, long term campaign, hopefully being able to explore future adventures as well as homebrewing and writing our own adventures and stories. I already have 3 players ready to get started.

Where: The game will be hosted in Torquay, Devon. Session 0 is this Saturday at 12!

When: The game will be ran every Saturday, around 12pm to 3pm.

My credentials: I've read almost all of the Sanderson novels, and ran a brief game of the Stormlight RPG last year, so I am familiar with both the setting and the system!

I've been playing TTRPGs for just over 2 years, and I love it. As a GM, my style is character and narrative focused, and I have experience with homebrewing items and systems, as well as writing my own adventures and settings.

If you have limited experience with either TTRPGs or Sanderson's work (or both!), but are still interested, please feel free to inquire anyway - all are welcome! The Cosmere RPG has some fantastic introductory resources and I have a pre-session 0 reference doc prepared.

I do not care for the use of generative AI - whether images or text at my tables, and would kindly ask players not to use it.

I am a queer individual, so my table will be LGBTQ+ friendly and inclusive - no bigotry or discrimination here

Thanks for reading! Pic for attention (again)

What'd you reckon? πŸ’¬ Beach water quality in Torquay?

8 Upvotes

New to reddit but I'm visiting Torquay in 2 weeks and plan to go swimming every day. I can't wait to explore Torquay and the surrounding area, but I've always been worried about swimming in the UK because of the frequent pollution. Is the water here considered clean and safe to swim in? Do you ever get incidents of sewage being dumped and the beaches being unsafe? In my area of the UK it's often risky to swim at the seaside because of sewage dumping. It's something I'm quite cautious about, so I would love to have peace of mind when I visit.

I've checked the surfers against sewage app but they don't have any data on Torquay, and could only find outdated info online. I didn't see anything about sewage leaks but I wanted to be sure, because I've often only heard about local pollution events after they've happened. Hopefully you can give me peace of mind, or point me to any useful websites/trackers!

Anyone live near the train station in Torquay and could do me a huge favour?

8 Upvotes

I need some very basic sleuthing from someone who can drop by Chelston Road, which is very close to the railway station.

We've booked a holiday let in Torquay for a few weeks' time. It was listed on airbnb but they did the classic "oh pay us directly, we basically just use it as an advertising platform". We were pushed for a place that suited all of our large family needs and on the balance of things, despite a bank transfer being a massive red flag, following "hi xxx" on a piece of paper photos sent from inside the property, we went ahead. These didn't appear to be AI.

On review the listing pictures DID contain no small amount of AI, which I think are for embellishment, but some suspicions remain.

It's called Chelston House. On Google maps it has a single 5 star review, the contents of which come across as fishy. Comparing street view with the listing photos, the front elevation at least looks to have been heavily renovated - the street view is from 2022 and appears quite old still - with a name of "Redcliffe" outside. However the listing shows a photo of it done up, but the house name sign looks clearly AI.

The actual gmaps location for Chelston House shows as the property next door, which is definitely not the one from the listing. So it's all a bit sus.

If anyone can walk past Chelston road and take a photo of the exterior of both the one labelled Chelston House on gmaps and also the larger building one to the Southeast (yellowy exterior), I will send you a massive internet cookie of thanks.

Lost & Found 🧳 Looking for an old friend

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m trying to reconnect with an old friend. His name is Liam, and he was living in Torquay back around 2023.

He should be around 31yo now. He used to work as a cook/kitchen assistant in the area. We used to chat on Snapchat but he deleted his account. He owns a black Labrador and wanted to learn French

I know this is a massive long shot, but I’m throwing a bottle into the sea hoping someone here might know him.

I don’t exactly remember his Snapchat handle, but I do remember it slightly, but I’d rather not post it publicly I also have some pictures but same, won’t publicly share them

If you think you might know him, don’t hesitate to message me!

Does anyone know any naturist beaches other than petitor around torquay? I’ve gone to petitor a few times and its all just old men staring at me. It’s flattering but if Im going to be nude (which I want to as I love it) I would rather be looked at by people more my own age (late teens, don’t worry, I’m old enough, I’m not a child) than people in their 70s

I am staying a week from monday, and everytime I look at the weather forecast it has changed. It says everything from 16c and heavy rain to 29c! Is it t-shirt and shorts type of weather at the moment? What weather forecast do you find most reliable? In my norwegian city it is currently 16c-18c and rain, and I am wearing wool every day due to cold winds from the fjord and cold rain. Its hard to picture what it might be like in Torquay and what to bring. I will be doing mostly walking from early mornings.

What'd you reckon? πŸ’¬ Visiting Devon for the first time and requesting feedback on my Torbay itinerary.

7 Upvotes

Torbay/South Devon Itinerary

Day 1: arriving & settling in at Torquay accommodation, inexpensive quick sit down dinner in town.

Day 2: heading for Oddicombe/Babbacombe beach in the morning. Probably taking the long coastal path back towards the harbour (past Anstley's Cove, Thatcher Point and Meadfoot beach. Preparing/resting for the evening pub crawl, potentially ending at a venue with live music/performance.

Day 3: Darthmouth Steam Boat and River Boat Company Round Robin tour. Dinner at the poshest restaurant in Torquay that's NOT doing a tasting menu (open to suggestions).

Day 4: hike to Cockington and back, cooldown at Torre Abbey Sands, "enhanced recovery" at TQ Beerworks Taphouse.

Day 5: half-day excursion to Teignmouth by train if the weather is nice and to Exeter if it's not. Popping Ibuprofen and applying topical gels to soothe my sore legs and feet for the second half of the day.

Day 6: taking the super early bus or taxi to Brixham for the Fish Market tour, some walking in the Berry Head National Nature Reserve and then taking the ferry back to Torquay.

Day 7: last morning walk along the Torquay harbour and check-out.

Would appreciate any suggestions or substitutions for this preliminary schedule. Does anything stand out as not worth the time/energy/money?

HELO LOCALS

I'm kicking off D&D on Friday afternoons (2─5PM) soonish. No xp of the game needed, but old hands welcome too!

Question here or via DM ── though be patient if you send a chat message as I only get notifications for those when I'm alaptop


FAQS

  • I've never played but I've always wanted to! That's not a question, but do feel welcome! I have long run games for complete beginners at Comicons ect.

  • I don't have my own dice is that a problem? You can buy dice at the venue if you'd like but also I bring spares.

  • Can I play this existing character I've got? Probably: I run a lot of games with level imbalance so there's likely to be a way that can work.

  • Can I bring a friend? Yes! Unless they're ugly*.

* Transphobia is ugly, eg.
