Good morning, everyone!

Thank you all for the helpful answers to my previous questions about Oshkosh. I have another one that just came to mind: how would you describe the sense of community in your local neighborhood? My wife and I are in our early 30s, and we know that meeting new people can sometimes be a challenge.

It's been since February 2023. What happened to her? Did any of you know her? Why hasn't there been any news? I mean, she walked out of her apartment and down Minnesota Street. Poof, gone. Even rumors at this point could help. $10,000 sits waiting for you if you are able to help. The info is below. I truly have no idea where to begin looking.

Don’t let the long lines stop you. Bring a book or headphones. Come prepared. There’s going to be record turn out this year.

has anyone tried it?

UPDATE: We are full as of right now, but I am still open to interest. So if you are interested still message me! Id love to talk a bit and if you're a good fit Id love to keep in contact in case of drop outs.

When?: tba but my availability is weekdays (except for Thursdays) 7-11pm, biweekly Saturdays after 2pm, or Sundays any time. Right now Sundays would be my preference, but I can make do with the other times mentioned above too.

Where?: tba, but it will be in person and in Oshkosh, so you'd have to be local or willing to travel to Oshkosh.

Who?: I'm planning for a tight group of max 4-5 players as I like to focus on character arcs. LBGT+ friendly. I want this to be a safe space for women, and lbgt+ too, so you must be able to respect and support others without judgment of their gender and orientation. 21+ Aside from that I don't care about age that much, but you must be able to commit within reason, be emotionally mature, and be able to communicate well about what you need and expect as well as respect others needs and expectations. 

Experience level?: Players of all experience levels are welcome. 

About me: My name is Carina (F38, she/her) have about 7 years of experience playing dnd. I played 3.5 briefly, but most of my experience (both playing and dming) lies with 5e. I've played in and ran modules, but my favorite is to dm homebrew settings and campaigns. I love creative and collaborative storytelling, and making friends with likeminded people! 

Playstyle?: Focus will be on story, roll play and characters. There will be regular combat, but not just for the sake of it. It's a living world which will be influenced by the characters actions and decisions, so I want players who are interested in that more than in “winning” and power gaming. The campaign will be serious, and play should reflect that, but it won't be grim, so humor as it reasonably fits the situation is welcome. Morally gray characters are fine as long as they act in the interest of the party and allies, but no evil player characters. The players are expected to make characters that get along and wish to travel and experience the campaign together. 

Premise:

On the continent of Avalora, three powerful realms stand in a delicate balance. The largest, Dasmea, thrives on its mastery of the seas, vast mineral wealth, and bustling trade routes. To the west lies Lohenheim, a mysterious land governed by reclusive tribes that forbid entry to all outsiders, guarding their secrets fiercely. To the south, the desert kingdom of Pyralia rises—a place of arcane wisdom and magical academia, renowned for its thriving trade and knowledge of rare mystic arts.

Our story begins in Dasmea, where a monumental shift has stirred. For the first time in centuries, the fierce, impenetrable winds that shrouded the islands west of Avalora have vanished. Legend claims that the gods summoned those winds to seal Avalora from the forgotten perils on those distant shores. With the barrier now gone, the Queen of Dasmea has summoned scholars and arcane specialists to venture into the unknown, both to safeguard the realm from any lurking threats and to seize untapped resources.

But no expedition into the unknown is without risk. Rumors whisper of ancient curses and unspeakable creatures waiting beyond the winds. To protect these brave teams of mages and archaeologists, the Queen has issued a call for skilled adventurers, mercenaries, and hardened professionals. The pay is high, but the dangers may prove even higher. What mysteries will unfold on the islands, and is there truly a threat powerful enough to endanger all of Avalora?

Feel free to ask questions :)

There were recent crimes committed in my neighborhood. Two men were arrested last night, my vehicle was one of the vehicles broken into. Is there a place I can go, such as the old Oshkosh Crime Blotter run by the police? Would love any information on this, thank you.

Hello. I am a senior in high school. I live in Chicago, but for college I’m going to UWoshkosh. I love the school and am going to dual major in elementary or secondary education with special education then a minor in psychology. I am goth and I’m wondering if people on campus or Oshkosh people in general are nice to goth people. I really don’t want to be made fun of in college like how I was all through middle and high school. I want a fresh start, which is why I liked how far Oshkosh is. Let me know any advice or experiences that can help me.

my boyfriend and i (plus my dad and stepmom but separate households) are moving up to the Oshkosh/Omro/Appleton area from Orlando in about 10-12 months and are trying to get some info from people other than the family who currently live there. i think were generally set on Oshkosh, hence the posting in the thread, and the main things we want to know about would be job availability and security, how well the bus system/public transportation works, what the most common things to avoid are and any other general advice.

TIA :)

Our dog has decided to start chewing on bedding and blankets including the comforter on our bed last night. Thankfully it's 90% contained to the seam but I'd like to know if it's fixable or if there's anyone in town that had a good reputation or is recommended for something like this. Thanks in advance!

Anyone have any recommendations for best thirfting and vintage spots in Oshkosh? I haven’t lived in Oshkosh since 2007 and guessing a lot has changed!
