Evening folks. I'm back from the interview. It went OK, but no definite employment. Seemed to be positive though ...

Water out = shut down building. By code. They should be getting ready to send you home.

This place? Send us home? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.....

Oh wait! You were serious?

LOL. Yep, my group hates the pugwampis. Just like they're supposed to.

The stuff they do meta-gaming, or out of boredom is driving me nuts though. Thankfully I only run 2 weeks out of 8.

Tracy Update: ** spoiler omitted **

You do good work! :)

Very Very Very Very AWESOMTASTIC NEWS. Both Solnes and I said so. :)

I'm guessing part 5. It doesn't work very well as written. The rest of the path I thought was great.

We've already finished LoF and we enjoyed it immensely. The DM rewrote parts to make it harder (we tend to be power gamers and there were nights when 6 players showed up).

The hardest part for us was the 5th book as it had been a while since we'd been able to resuply. It took 5 very long sessions for us to finish that book which about double our normal 2 or 3.

We really had some trouble with the BBEG at the end of the path. The DM was very clever with his tactics and it was only some quick thinking by our dwarf that prevented his escape.

I'm going to spend some time enhancing things but GMing for a large group like this is a pain in the patootie!

BUT.....the group was grumbling about playing 1st level but have loved the story so far! Pugwampis FTW!

For those of you helping -

Tracy Update:

Man, that game has got them all tied up. He's not even had his people contact our people.

Maybe he's researching how to put Pathfinder into a video game. Hmmm...

The answer is... sometimes. 90% of the time, you have to go out to the party camp on the world map to change party members, but in some villages/cities where there is no combat element, you can switch party members freely. I'm playing the PC version myself, but I have no reason to believe the Xbox would be any different in this regard.

You can indeed. It seems that in civilized areas, once you handle the problems in those regions, you can swap out party combinations on the fly. The option on the Xbox version to do this is accessed via the radial menu using the left trigger.

And yeah... this game is super awesome. It's pretty much taken over almost everyone on the ground floor of Paizo, in fact (the majority of the art and editorial staff). Good times.

EDIT: My favored party combo = me (two-weapon elf rogue), Alistair, Morrigan, and Lelianna.

Thx. Note to self - Must research magic combos.

This thread is nuts. Just a highlight:

I looked at the multi-classing section of PHB and I can't find anywhere that it says you cannot take the same class more than once.

Or Sorc3/Arcane and Sorc3/Draconic?

munchkin alert on that thread.

Oh, the monanity! Or, in-monatity.

Tracy Update - Still not home from the hospital and depressed. Blood transfusions but white count still high. Yesterday was a bad day but she's still fighting to get home.

Thanks all.

What would this signal accomplish? Do you think we can recall Mona from his waywardness? So far, he's remained silent about these charges.

I think we need the Mona Signal. It's cloudy in Seattle, right? We could leave it on 24/7.

Emperor7, are you going to take these dangerous circumstances seriously?

AAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!! *faints*

There are some hilarious things to find if you google 'Mona'.

Relative? Seattle

Neon Mona?, linky

Or the creative Mona, Motown Mona?

I think Erik has been branching out a bit, Franchise Opportunity?

We need someone to get us a menu.

Just started this and have a general Xbox question -

Is it possible to easily change party members inside of a region, or do you have to go to the world map? I apologize if I'm too dense to find it. I tend to just start playing and learn the commands as I go.

I GOT THE BESTIARY!

I'm running low on Girl Scout cookies :(

I'll have to find one of those tables at the mall or outside the grocery store where I can buy more.

Around January, I can sell you a bunch. My daughter is a girl scout, and my wife is the "cookie mom".

Shipping might be a problem...

How much to ship to NY? Cuz' I love me those peanut butter ones. I think the wife loves hopscotch? Or those ones with coconut in them or on them? Either way, January. Yeah. Cookies.

I'm sorry.
I'll stop venting now.
Next to some of you my problems are so small it's not funny. :(

Vent away! :)

Sorry if you're having another bad day. (hugs)

Firstly the girl who is supposed to be closing the shop tomorrow night calls this morning and tells me she can't do it so I have to go in on my day off to do it.
The tonight the guy that can do Open (other than the new girl I've just finished training) informs me that he is quitting effective immediately and so I also have to go in on Monday (once again on my day off) to do his shift starting at 6am. Of course this is also the day when I am supposed to be minding my kids all day.

But not only that, but now that he has left I am back to being short staffed once more and so work is going to be harder and crappier because of it.

Can somebody help me with this problem?

Since I don't play 4e, I can't help. I'm sure you'll be told why it's easier to make a three-member party in 3e, though. :)

Can't help you, though. No 4e experience.

It's an appeal to the wood of the cross of Christ. So, it's kind of like crossing yourself. Or for that matter, crossing your fingers, which was a hidden way of crossing yourself.

Anybody know, or what to know the origin of "knock on wood"?

Nope.

Is it connected to the term 'graveyard shift' and the bell strings they connected to coffins?

Nope. Do you want a 3rd guess? B/c Taig wants to know.

The roller coaster continues for Tracy and her family -

Update from Mom "Tracy had a rough day today. Steroids saved her life, but they come with a cost. We are very tired. She is weak and discouraged. Thankfully, there is an end in sight. Her #'s keep improving. She has to push herself so hard, though, to do such basic things. We really need to focus on the physical therapy and get her up and moving a bit. If you could keep those prayers coming a bit longer! God bless!"

Thank you all for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers.

I'm glad she is getting better. We will keep praying for her.

+1 Keep the faith bro!

Glee.

I hear this odd thunking sound as I finish the last mile of my drive to work. I get to the office and park, and discover a lovely hex bolt jammed to the hilt in one of my tires. I'm now waiting for the phone call from the tire place nearby telling me I have to get a new tire. And the federal holiday this week bumped our paychecks to next week instead of today....

YAY.

[Sigh]I guess all I can do is laugh about it. Happy Friday all... ;P

[EDIT]: I stand corrected - I need all of my tires replaced. And I have to cough up a kidney to replace just the one for right now.

Joyous....scratching off 'laughing' as an option for the next hour....

Of course, he was 'too busy' to put on the spare and get it fixed himself. I woulda left it alone but the wife gave me one of 'those stares'.

Well the place I interviewed for told me I would here from them this morning if I got the job. It is no longer morning. I guess I know what that means.

Good luck on the continuing search.

Nice to know when you're dreaming about wood you let me talk a little, even if you're scared by it. ;)

You and Mairk both spoke...alot! :)
Mairk was like this floating talking leaf that follwed me around giving advice. :)

No actually, just the stuff that wasn't his.

Uhm, he offered to help, but he isn't strong enough, it takes some real strength to get it off. :\

I am trying to decide how to punish.
