Seeking players for an irl ttrpg campaign!

Hey! Its me, the Osmond Ward guy again. Ive been running an irl table game of my custom steampunk ttrpg - osmond ward - for the last year or two now, and while we started at 4 players, we’re down to ~3-2 at the current moment.

We’re still regularly playing, but two players isnt nearly enough for a mid level campaign like this.

As a result, we’ve decided as a group to put out feelers for new players!

If you are interested in steampunk, gaslamp fantasy, action adventure novels and world ending threats, this game system is for you! The game itself is run simultaneously to a massive online game being run over discord, and your actions influence the greater world and vice versa.

Ill willingly admit the system isnt fully polished. Things break here and there. Thats partially why we’re running the campaigns at all - we test the game by playing it! As a result, breaking and tearing things apart are kinda part of the system.

If any of this interests you in any way whatsoever, feel free to leave a comment or pm me. Id be happy to chat further.

Police chase near Arthur Hatton?

Anyone know any details? I had seen, looked like a green 90s Camaro, being chased by a police vehicle up three different streets. Crazy to see it happening so close to a school…

Friends?

I’m a 21F who is a 2nd year science student at TRU and it’s been really hard to make like genuine friends here since I moved here 2 years ago. I’m queer, I love anime and gaming and I’m starting to get into snowboarding this season. Shoot me a message if you want to make friends

Jewish Community?

Hey all, I’m in conversion classes, and so far my only real community involvement is schlepping to Kelowna every so often (don’t get me wrong they’re a lovely and super welcoming community) or going to services any time I visit Vancouver. If there is any community or events in town (young adults especially) to be involved in, that would be really helpful to my journey and I’d greatly appreciate it. TIA!

(For additional context I’ve only lived in Kamloops for a little over a year)

New house build questions!

Hello! I’m reaching out to see if anyone has experience or insights into building a home in our area. I’d love to hear about your experience with the process—what was it like?

My biggest question is about costs. For those of you who have built a home here, how much did it end up costing? I understand there are many factors that can influence the price, and I’ve looked into this online, but I’d really value feedback from people who have firsthand knowledge of building in this area and how local factors come into play.

Any additional tips or advice would be greatly appreciated as well!

Does anyone know what happened to the cannabiz staff on the Northshore?

They were great, and the last couple months they’ve all but one disappeared and been replaced by people that have me genuinely not wanting to go out of my way to shop there anymore. Does anyone know if something happened? Beau, Katie, and Chris were all fantastic.

Weekend/day road trip ideas?

Hey I just recently moved to town and I wanted some ideas for road trips that’ll last a day or two, and things to do or go see around this time of the year. So if you could help that would be great!

I’m willing to drive 5-6 hours to places from Kamloops.

I’ve considered Banff but really what’s there to do once you get there and look at the one lake with 300 people there?

Any hot springs or resorts around?

I’ve been the wells grey a handful of times already but is there anything in that area besides the waterfalls?

What do you do for fun?

I'm not new I've been here for about 2.5 years now. I'm not into partying, drinking, smoking. The only "fun" thing I do is gym when I'm not busy. What else is there?

Aviation enthusiasts? Piaggio P180 with transponder off at Kamloiops Airport???

Literally 15 or 20 minutes ago I saw a Piaggio P180 fly out of Kamloops airport, heading East, then , 5 minutes ago (at 16:14), I saw it coming back, so I quickly went on to Flight Radar 24, and ... nothing, I highly doubt it managed to land and turn off its transponder within the 40 seconds it took me to get to my computer! or maybe it was a one of scenario that he had a broken transponder? I have seen a P180 fly the same route about 15 months ago, around the same time of day, but its such an unusual plane to see in Canada, and so easy to recognise. I am surprised it didnt show on Flight Radar

PC repair shop recommendations?

I’m having some PC issues that are beyond my expertise to fix. Anyone have experience or recommendations with local PC repair shops?

I am leaning towards taking it to Josto Computers just out of convenience.

Thanks.

Best place to go dancing?

I’m new in town and I know Kamloops nightlife is awful, but where would one go to dance, preferably where there’s other people who like to dance also? And actually dance, not just white people awkwardly bopping around in a circle ?

Looking for music with a beat; latin, hip hop, r&b, caribbean etc

Live in Kamloops, spending this weekend watching family play field hockey tournament in the Okanagan. For our kids I’m wondering if there are any clubs, leagues, or groups playing in Kamloops? Or is it left to school activities? Anyone know?

Anyone else having garbage/recycling pickup issues?

Hello all,

Figured worth an ask - has anyone else had issues with the curb side pickup lately?

In the last month there has only been one normal pickup on my block…

4 weeks ago the crew skipped my house and the neighbours house for organic pickup

3 weeks ago they didn’t pick up my garbage - when I inquired they said that my house didn’t have a registered garbage toter associated to our address, as the reason why they didn’t pick it up - and advised I order a garbage toter… when I responded asking to clarify, as my utility statement from the city states otherwise - no response… but they picked my garbage up the next round of garbage pickup.

Last week the organics truck broke down so they had to do a late run

Today they took our organics, but not our recycling- and a truck just rolled by picking up organics down the block…

I have been in the same place for 5 years, generally haven’t had issues until now - is this just a run of bad luck, or are any of y’all having the same issues? (We are in Brock)
