Player's handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide and Monster Manual

Player's handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide and Monster Manual These three books are the "core books" for Dungeons and Dragons 5e. This is not an in depth review of these books as they are so fundamental. But I think it is good to mention them at least, before I go any further with the more cool-but-not-so-neccessary-books. Player's Handbook The Players Handbook [1] (PHB) contains all the basic rules that the player needs to know to play the game, equipment, spells, character options, feats, races, backgrounds and everything to put it all together.

D&D - My confession

Dungeons and dragons - My confession I have always been fascinated about fantasy. The computer games I appreciated most during my young days was role-playing game such as Baldur's Gate, Diablo and Neverwinter Nights, all games with their own mysterious setting there evil lurks at every corner. For half a year ago, a friend of mine introduced me to Dungeons and Dragons 5e and I was hooked. Maybe a little too much.

Oppigård Amarillo, third batch

Oppigård Amarillo, third batch This recipe is also from the book [1] and the third batch of this beer and it is one of my favorite hopier beer. I think it is fun to brew single hop beers since you learn to recognize the taste and aroma of a single hop at a time. The aroma of Amarillo is described as flowery, spicy and citrus-like with a distinct orange bouquet.

Green fingers

Green fingers This year I have engaged more than usual in growing vegetables. I grow quite common things like cucumbers, tomatoes, dill, beans, peas, squash, salad, carrots and potatoes. We live in a moss that cools the environment quite a bit, so it's hard to grow without a greenhouse - which we happily have. In the past years it has become a mediocre harvest of vegetables, but this year it has really exploded.

St:Eriks Pale Ale, second batch

St Eriks Pale Ale, second batch The book "Klona öl" [1] ("Clone beers" in English) has collected recipes from many Swedish breweries. One challenge is to brew a recipe and then buy a bottle with the same beer and compare, hope This is the second time we brew a St:Eriks Pale ale, which is a pale ale with a lot of citrus aroma from the Citra and Simcoe hop. The body is quite light and it is a perfect summer beer.
