Architectural terms, stairs
Jul. 12th, 2026 09:45 pmoldshrewsburyian posting in little_detailsHello all, I'm trying to find specific vocabulary for staircases. I'm looking at an interior staircase in a Georgian home (but the stair itself might be later.) The thing that strikes me as distinctive is that it surrounds a hall on three sides, having one landing that runs along an exterior wall. I love the look of it, and I'm trying to find vocabulary more specific than risers, balustrades, landings, which is what I tend to get when looking for glossaries.

Casino table games
Jul. 12th, 2026 05:42 pmelisheva_m posting in little_detailsIs there anyone here who knows enough about betting on casino table games to help me work out a few things for my novel? Table games please, not slots. Sitting at a machine stuffing coins isn't that interesting in prose and doesn't provide much room for interaction.
One scenario is that he loses big and blames another player for it. Or something else happens which is plausible for a casino and makes him mad but doesn't involve the gambling directly. I have no experience. It doesn't have to be justified anger, he's hair trigger. My one idea is that another player scatters his chips, but I'm not sold on that. Spilling drinks happens in a hotel bar five chapters earlier.

The other scenario is that someone is intentionally egging him on to bet badly. This isn't necessary, just a slightly wicked idea. It would be a later scene.
He favours simpler games as he's always drunk & high. From what I've been able to find, roulette might be the best - simple mechanism but a complex set of betting options. I could pick and choose from pages about the game but I have no idea how the flow of it might go and it would be cool to write the scene around a plausibly realistic sequence of bets. The other players know what they're doing and how to play the odds.
If you can suggest something around another simple table game, please do. I'm not attached to roulette - his eyes can go blurry watching it go round and round another time. Poker is probably too complicated, blackjack is easy and I use that for a scene where there's little detail about the gambling.
Thanks for any help.
