Darkwolf's page

It's because of things like this.
Closing a large section of park land to U.S. citizens, leaves it to drug and human traffickers.
This is expletive disgusting. Unless something is done, this shows that if you just up the violence enough, America will back down on it's own soil. Yeah, that's the image of a strong World Leading nation.

I weep for America that was.

Pigish Orcs and doglike Kobolds. I need some MONEY!

This came up in our Second Darkness campaign today... yesterday. My Wizard is a Universalist, and he carries the Staff of Dark Flame found early in the AP. At level 12 I have 3 slots of Metamagic Mastery and wanted to use 2 of them to Empower a Fireball cast via the Staff. Legal? Not Legal?

The DM made a quick call and allowed it to work, but I wanted to run it by everyone here and see what the consensus is.

Arguments:
Since the spell is cast at your caster level instead of the staffs and because the metamagic slots are consumed, I can see some logic to allowing it to work.

But at the same time, since the spell is not powered by your personal spell slots, I can see logic to not allowing it as well.

I am forced to accept the fact that I am not going to be able to afford to go myself. So, I have a Con + Banquet ticket available. :^(

I'd like to get my money back, but can be negotiated with.

Ohh, shiny!

More Cthulhu gaming goodness that I must buy. Puts new meaning into, 'Roll your sanity'. :^)

Just received my recent order, very fast shipping by the way, thanks for that.

However... (Yeah, what would this section be without the howevers?)
The shipment only contained one of the two Gamemastery Combat Pads I ordered. I double checked the box and then triple checked it, I even dumped all the little annoying foam popcorn out and had to pick it up, and then I rechecked the paperwork. It's not hiding anywhere that I can see. Maybe the bugger jumped out of the box before it got sealed and is hiding in some dark corner of the shipping area?

So I finally found a local group to play Call of Cthulhu with and we met last night to roll up characters.

Every thing was going well as I rolled the general stats for the Private Investigator I was planning. Not as strong as I wanted and way more educated than I expected, but it was all fine. I can work with that. After getting my skills mostly situated it came time for everyone to roll for wealth.

I rolled a 10. Max roll. In a modern game that would be $500,000 a year. In the classic 1920s setting my yearly income is $20,000. Not exactly a working man's salary. I'm having a bit of trouble finding a motivation for this guy to be a PI. If anybody can come up with some suggestions I'd sure appreciate it.

I could also drop the PI bit and go with another profession, but I'm not sure if I want to do that.

Haven't been able to access my PFS character page this evening. My regular alias pages are fine, but I was wanting to double check the factions of some new characters I made and registered last night. I keep getting a "You have made too many requests for the same page too quickly.
Please wait a minute before trying again." message.

Season Eight of the Jack Bauer Power Hour. Rumors say it could be the last season. Here's hoping it's a good one.

... Hmmm.

Went and saw this at an early showing this morning. I thought it was pretty darn good. It had some slow spots (tavern scene OMG...zzz) but over all it was really good. Not a lot of gunfire for a Tarentino flick, other than a couple of big scenes, but lots of other gratuitous violence.
(Oh, and it's LONG. Not sure exactly how long, but previews started at 10:20 and I didn't walk out until well after 1pm so it's close to three hours.)

How are your FLGSs doing with the release?

Fat Ogre, my 'home' store had 10 copies. I bought the last of them for a friend about 4pm.

I'm not sure about the other 'big' locals; Nan's, Third Planet and Midnight Comics.
