Gavgoyle's page

Just as a heads up... Paizo has been added to the list of banned sites at work, so I will only be able to post once I get home from work or in the evening. Additionally, I will be on a business trip to Yuma from 22 Sep - 4 Oct. The hotel I'm at will has a business center where I'll be able to touch base, but the posting may be a little more erratic during that time. I am in NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM dropping, just wanted to let you know in case of any lags.

Hey Gav -- I see that you made it to the hobos. And looks like you're having a little difficulty. Anything I can help with?

I don't think so, Moff, I just don't think I'm high enough level to really take the fight to them effectively. I'll return to Hobopolis sporatically and see if I fare any better. Thanks though.

Oh, and HHHHHHUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEE congrats, Nic!! I'm very happy for you, you defecting b@st@rd!

sigh

No tree high enough for you to hide in now, Richard. Sorry, man.

The ball is pretty much in Patricio's court, but he hasn't been on since the 23rd.

Thanks. Curious about the mechanics -- do we still have the workout machine in "storage" or is it now gone (ie. Do we need to buy a new one if we want that instead)?

Nope, new meat for new machine. That's the mechanic of it. I'll basically just see what people seem to like best.

Happy Birthday, Michael Jackson, you big ass freak!

Yeah, NPH is the f'ing bomb-diggedy (or insert more appropriate urban youth slang). The dude just rocks... kinda like 'the Dude', he's just a man of the time.

WooHoo! I can win any argument from here on in!

Han shot second!

It was like that in the 3x books as well, IIRC. I think it corresponds to the 'iconic' that is being used for the class.

I'm still a little pissed that there are no half-orc iconics in the PF, though. But that's one of my biggest complaints so far, so not really even remotely close to being an issue.

Not a birthday, but today marks the passing of Stevie Ray Vaughn in 1990.

The sky is still crying, like a Texas Flood.

Hey, Heathy, c'mere. I've got a Black & Decker cordless drill to help you stimulate your pineal. Third Eye Open!

Hehe, I was hoping someone would go there. Cuz while people might argue about whether Han shot first, we all know that Mal shot first.

Course then he got beat up, but according to Jane that ain't to hard.

But then, Jane is a girl's name. And we could start at the part where he gets knocked out by a 90lbs girl, cuz that's never getting old.

Mal shot first, Mal shot unarmed individuals, and Mal was more or less right.

As for Jayne, man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

Damn straight, but the Texas night mantids creep on.

Yes, the THX would implode.

Congrats and hope you had a great one, Kessukoofah!

Han shot first!

Testify, Brother!

I own the trilogy on VHS, and Flying Spaghetti Monster as my witness, my daughter has grown up knowing that Han killed Greedo before he could be killed, and my son will grow up knowing it, too.

You can't stop the signal, Mal!

I'm sorry, now was someone saying something about serene bossoms? That's a topic I can really curl up to!

Not per se, but I'm feeling burned out on the internets lately, and it's nice to have a place to chill.

Findin' your way through the internets today takes everything you got.
Threadjacks and trolls all the way, comments tasteful as goblin snot.

Wouldn't you like a civil board?

Everyone at Paizo knows your name...

You wanna be at Paizo where we know your name.

Yeah, I'm a 15th level Disco Bandit and it's smackin' me around a great deal.

I am so ready to ascend again. I wish my shedule let me be a bit more regular in my playing, but it's just been wonky the last few months.

Would it fit your character to have spent some time in Korvosa? If you were spending some time learing within the city, you might have been exposed to the tattooing tradion and decided to explore it...

In a game that never really took off, I had a character who didn't like the sinister bend of the Academae and went to one of the smaller mystical schools in Korvosa where he was exposed to the Varisian Tattoo tradition and took it as one of his feats. Would require DM blessing, but might be a venue.

Because if it rained bacon, we would all eat ourselves to death, Roman-style! Duh.

Geeze... if that wasn't a call for Vomitorium Guy, I don't know what was!

Both the Tick cartoon and live action.

And Futurama.

And Brimstone.

And Strange Luck (but I think that one was more on D.B. Sweeney than the network).

Dammit, where is our UltraDan? We need him here!

I don't even get what that means! why am i so out of the loop? what does the internet have to do with a dump truck? what's with the tuuuuuubes????

*brain explodes*

Okay, the longer version.

Basically, a sterling example of how when you get in Congress you may be put in charge of something you have ABSO-FRICKIN'-LUTELY ZERO knowledge of, -97% intrest in learning about, and get you to shape public policy about it.

In one meeting, Sen. Stevens, then Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, told with great authority and bombast that the internet 'is not a big truck. It's a series of tubes." And that problems with how 'his staff tried to send him an internet on a Friday morning and he didn't recieve that internet until Tuesday because it got tangled up.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart used the 11 minute speech to great effect.

edit: oops, sorry, but I'll leave it up in case there is anyone unfamiliar with it.

That I will not twist any more soundbites to take cheap shots?

Ted Stevens head should be stuffed up his series of tubes.

And I am sure employing a WMC (Weapon of Mass Corruption) is some kind of war crime.

But... but... we NEED a bridge that vaugely points in the direction of the Aleutians! It doesn't have to actually reach them... wouldn't it save us some money if it actually didn't?

Can't we just give Russia Ted Stevens and call it even?

I just read the Wikipedia article on that guy. I can see why you would want to get rid of him. But what would Russia do with him?

Render him down for snowboard wax.

And speaking of replacement characters, I'm not considering "Paizo-level deadly" to be a feature of the milieu; non-optimized characters should do all right here. But, in case ill fortune befalls you, you should consider what kind of "back-up PC" you'd like to play.

No problem, there's a whole lot of new ground to stomp all over.

I think that it can be agreed from any angle that the game has coded and TOD has been pronounced, the earth salted, and the well poisoned. It's not coming back. I think it should just close now with Dread making a good faith effort to apologize.

As a positive close, there are some good role players here and I feel like I have a fun character that I can use at some point in the future.

I just think it's a shame that WotC did away with the Great Wheel Cosmology. Then they would have had more alignments to choose from.

Oh, different kind of alignment? Sorry.

]Fox filed its lawsuit against Warner Bros in February.[/quote wrote:

It is now August, that was 6 months ago. It doesn't sound like they started this case "at the last minute". The fact that Warner decide to continue pushing the promos while this was still in litigation might come back and bite them on the rear.

I think it could be argued that 6 months is, in fact, a relatively short time in both terms of movie production and corporate law suits. The movie would have already been deep in production around Feb (if I'm not mistaken, which I could be) so they would have already had millions of dollars tied up in it and pretty firm timetables as they moved toward post production. A legal battle has a time table all its own and doesn't have to give a crap about inconveniencing a studio with lots of long drawn out litigation.

Just another in my laundry list of reasons I frequently detest FOX.

It is definitely casting a cloud over the Rann-Thanagar Holy War, which I have otherwise been enjoying. Poor decisions on Starlin's part and on the editor's part.

CWM, even if I haven't agreed with you about 4ed (at all), I think you have always worked tremedously hard to be even-handed and concientiously polite. You have always been a welcome member of the fold.

You can't hear my cheering, but I am.

Congratulations, guys! I am very excited and happy for y'all!
May the couple of minutes of shut-eye you guys get to squeeze in each night be as good a quality as your product.

Huzzah! Let's celebrate by putting cyanide in the potatoes au gratin and givin it to Jerry! The Hun won't know who ripped their collective stomach out!

Happy Birthday, Tony Robinson! What a wierd 62 years it's been! Hope you're well.

Sure, Gavgoyle. Looks like a fun character.

That's the goal! ;)

Thank ya!
