Thank you :slight_smile: Yesterday I made a yellow batter, so there’s gonna be a yellow Schweinchen soon :smiley:

Cool! I searched Google Images for “gelbes Schweinchen” and came across this beauty: Splash Schweinchen by Bátor Gábor 300 Farben. This would be excellent, but difficult-to-make soap (maybe, but what do I know about it? Nichts.).

I mean, one could use a batter with several colors mixed, but there’s no way to place the colors purposefully. The mold is a 3D-silicon-thingi, where you pour in the batter from the feet of the Schweinchen. Anyway, I will try it next time I do several colors. I want to make a Schweinchen from every batter I make anyway.

Based on your location and interest in curling, I’m assuming we might have at least one mutual. :smiley:

I collect Rubik’s cubes - I can solve any odd numbered cube (evens are more tricky) as well as several of the non-cube puzzles.

I love reading and am currently working my way through Lord of the Rings. I can also play chess (both international and Chinese) and greatly enjoy it even though I tend to lose :smiley:

Knitting is a thing I’ve done for many years and a great way to make some awesome gifts (and much like with bass, people without experience often simply have NO idea what’s actually difficult vs just looking like it is :joy: )

I managed to misplace it during one of my moves, but I once had an original cube, hand built by Ernő Rubik himself. It no longer rotated, and some of the color tape stickies were in poor condition. I also had the original note from Ernő to the woman who gave it to me. When I realized that I’d left it behind somewhere, I was sick.

Wait! Is that Scalextric?

Wow… Vintage Scaleys!

I have the entire run of Basic/Expert/Companion/Master/Immortal D&D books and still play them till this day. Are you still playing the BECMI D&D with your son and friends? Or do you use the new 2024 edition?

Hi @rlbxtate we play with old D&D, unfortunately in Italy Master/Immortal have never been published.
I read anything about new 2024 edition, but it’s too much overcomplicated, illustrated, it seems “kill” the fantasy about create new adventures.
