Re: Applying Our Culture Practically

Firstly, no I'm not (I'm assuming by RC you meant Roman Catholic instead of Republic Commando *smiles*). My beliefs are not necessarily a specific group (although my beliefs are very Protestant Baptist, and I go to a church of that kind), because I'd rather base my beliefs on the source of my faith,...

Re: Applying Our Culture Practically

I was mostly just curious about what you thought of the whole thing, but I should have put it better. Good on ya for the reasoning, and it gives some good perspective. I also don't think of the jetiise as my enemies, but the whole inner peace and well-ordered thing makes me fidgety. Warning: smallis...

Re: Applying Our Culture Practically

Glad to hear from you guys! *looks at Vlet and nods agreement* *looks at Belandrie* That's usually the approach I take, because, though I'm no fan of jettise, I prefer not to step on toes if I can avoid it. I still recognize, though, that Mandalorian honor requires me to stand tall and respect other...

Re: Mando Skraan and Recipes

Good to know; also the stuff I make has to be gluten-free, otherwise some of my vode won't be able to eat it, making high-gluten flour a no-go. Also, good to see a new face; su'cuy, bur'cya!

Re: Wordplay, Euphemisms, Double-Meanings in Mando'a

We have a good insight into Mando humor through the insults I'm sure most of us probably over use (osik, nibral, di'kut, chakaar, etc.) and the scene in the book where all the vode gathered to hear the tale of that di'kut'la aruetii who bought the old amusement park that was rotting over. That tells...

Re: On the dar'manda concept

I actually did not see your post, Adi'karta, until just now. Being particularly aweful at social stuff, a few weeks ago I defaulted to directly asking my vode about the topic in general, and they said pretty much the same thing as I thought and you said (at least to me, this doesn't down your knowle...

Re: Applying Our Culture Practically

Alright, here's another one: influence. Let's start with our culture impacting the world around us. How obvious do you guys let your Mando-ness be and why? And also, I believe the Mando culture is real (if there was one American left on the Earth in a thousand years, American culture would be real),...

Re: Mando Skraan and Recipes

So I was wondering... Could I make haashun by simply making dough, spreading it "thin enough to see (a) betrothal ring through", and baking it?

Re: Tabletop Roleplaying without Tables (5th Ed. D&D?)

Praise God! After a scary couple months, I'm back! Through some di'kut'la actions by several unnamed parties, I ended up with something I'm allergic to in my shabla bloodstream. Hence the medical issues. At any rate, I'm healing, and I should be getting, gradually, back to normal life. It's not comp...

I won't hog the forum space since this is for D&D, I'll just edit this every once in awhile to say that I'm not inactive or dead. *looks at Ruus* Thanks for the prayer, Ruus, I'll be praying for you and Adi'karta, too. *turns to Adi'karta* I appreciate it. And to each 'is own, but I'm curious why yo...

I suppose I meant not that there aren't any, but rather why there seem to be fewer dalyc vode (dalyc is an adjective, and it is unnecessary to pluralize it).

Re: Tabletop Roleplaying without Tables (5th Ed. D&D?)

It's okay. Actually it may be temporarily for the best, as I am having rather worrying medical issues, and, although I probably won't die, it is rather distracting. My jatne'vod and I are praying, though, so although I'll be not posting for awhile I should be back posting per normal in a few weeks. ...

Re: Tabletop Roleplaying without Tables (5th Ed. D&D?)

Alrighty then... For those who'd like to play, please answer these 3 questions: 1. Do you like puzzles, exploration, combat, or role-play the best? 2. What tone do you prefer (like horror, comedy, realistic)? 3. What do you find the most rewarding about D&D (like loot, character development, finding...

Re: Applying Our Culture Practically

I have two questions to ask. One is why it seems mostly men make up the Mando'ade. Two is if any taken Mandos have advice for those of us who are single on both finding a spouse and interacting with their family with the Mandalorian/American culture gap. *chuckles* Yes, lads, we're finally talking a...

Re: Mando Skraan and Recipes

You could, of course type in the URL... I know it's a pain in the shebs, but the page is still up. Maybe you should just google it and find the search result with that URL; it isn't too far down the list. Also, on the record, I cannot claim any credit for the recipe at all; I just found it to tell y...

Here's the URL for the uj cake recipe

Unfortunately, my kitchen is a mess at the moment (replacing kitchen carpet with not carpet), so no home recipes just yet. I'll contribute where/when I can, though.

Re: Tabletop Roleplaying without Tables (5th Ed. D&D?)

*turns to Vlet* Happy gaming then, vod. Also, any word you can spread would be good... A 1 on 1 game is cool, but ,in my opinion, a 2 or 3 player party is the most fun.

Re: Tabletop Roleplaying without Tables (5th Ed. D&D?)

Sorry, ner vod, my other party is new, hence my habit of double checking. Be advised: I have only the free version of the core rule books of 5E, but I'll trust you if you want to use full version races, classes, etc. like Barbarian, Bard, Monk, etc. Also, as for back story, pick what you want, becau...

Re: Tabletop Roleplaying without Tables (5th Ed. D&D?)

You're right, it'd be good to use Mando'a more often. "Kot" = Strength, "mirdala" = Intelligence, "jarkiv" = Charisma, "iviin" = Speed; I haven't found constitution, wisdom, or dexterity. Also, Ruus, have you read the D&D 5E manual yet? I'd wait off on making your character though, until we figure o...

Mando Skraan and Recipes

Food for thought... Subject change, but anyone have some Mando recipes like haashun or shig or something? I know there's an ujayli cake recipe floating around the internet (it's even gluten free, YAY!) but that's all I've found. Also, no haters; making Mando skraan is important to being mandakarla. ...
