Master / Slave relationship and the oriental female is wearing a dog collar.

Old habits are hard to break.

Dear FSM, that was a nightmare. I still credit AD&D with teaching me math and English way back in 5th grade.

I know this is the PF realm and any positive comments about 4e are like peeing in people's Cheerios, but still...

4e has a LOT of great game design things. A LOT of them.

Indeed, many of the posters on this page have referred to them (stuff like the saves mechanic, or the minions rules, or the healing surges or the wands-as-implements), making me wonder who, exactly, you are talking about. Lacking enough people saying the stuff you want to reply to, have you found it necessary to have an edition war with yourself?

Like many PF players, there are 4e rules I like, and 3.5/PF rules I don't, but, for the most part, PF better suits my tastes, which I don't consider more or less valid than yours.

They got their own darned plane! Dice! Dice have their own plane!

In Texas, they'd call Delaware a "ranch."

HEY!!! It's nothing like a ranch.....way too much industrial waste lying around polluting the aquifers for that.....;P

And don't worry Heathy, I check in almost daily now...

Fingers crossed for you Mothy. Job hunts suck, and I hope yours is brief.

I love how a thread starts about how Arizona does something goofy, and within a page it's devolved into passionate oratory about how awesome Texas is. That's one thing that no one can deny Texas does better than any other state: teaching its citizens to loudly change any subject you'd care to name into a discussion on how much better their state is than yours.

Kirth perhaps you missed:

See, we should have just given Arizona back to Mexico as a gift for Cinco de Mayo and had done with it.

Only if they take Texas as well. Also, give Florida back to Spain.

as well as...

If you give Texas away, there goes most of the U.S.'s job creation.

ORLY?

You can play funny with numbers to get any outcome you want, I suppose.

not top mention...

Job creation relative to population growth? Really? I'm playing games with the numbers and Think Progress is all sciency and on the level?

That's a good one dude; you should have a standup act.

Well, uh,......why would.......population grow when job creation numbers are high?

Huh.......I know: WAIT!!! I guess they go hand in hand, and that would explain the "California license plates" phenomenon I see on the road every day.

here's a graph that shows the best jobs creation numbers from the BLS as well as the worst.

And what kind of jobs were gained?.

Hiring a ton of minimum wage people to work at McDonald's isn't exactly economic growth.

I should also mention a bit of...

I removed some posts and changed the thread title to be a little less inflammatory.

So when people stand up against inaccuracies and ignorance it is all about screaming loud, and changing a subject which had already been changed by others, now??

Srsly hate the state that much, move.

Please, if you're out there, don't come to Texas right now.
Take Ciretose's explanation of the meaning of the statistics.
He doesn't have to actually be here in person, like me, to see these things.
He has......STATISTICS!!!

Trust your gut instead. Facts have a well known liberal bias.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!! Oh, wait a minute. You were serious?

I want zombies to kill!

Woot! Good news FHDM!! The Avengers has passed the $1 billion mark!

I haven't looked at this thread for 5 days and there are 1000+ posts to read! I'm not sure when i'll get to that so a big Happy Mother's Day to everybody!

On a personal note, I finally got a job this past week although it's a temp position but hopefully it will turn into a something more. Worst case scenario is that it will look really good on my resume when I look again. We'll see...

My players had an insane idea: running Kingmaker around a group with a Master of the House mentality.

I'm very curious about how much of a lovely trainwreck it would be....

Finished reading that new Stephen King book last night. Good book. Reminds me of why I used to love King's work.

What was it about?

It was a new Dark Tower story, technically taking place between books 4 & 5. The usual crew gets stuck in a storm, hunker down to wait it out, and the lead character tells a story from his past. Cool thing was - during the story he's telling, his past self also tells a story. So those two stories make up the majority of the book. It flows really well, and was very entertaining.

Edit: and it had the Man In Black as one villain (at his douchiest) and a shape changing skin man as the other villain.

I'm a bit annoyed, seriously like 50% of the Paizo forums concerning Paladins is "how can I make my friend's Paladin fall" or "Is this action gonna make my Paladin fall?". Cut Paladins some flak, its getting quite stale.Not all Paladins are lawful stupid!

Wizards had like 1 spell, so they'd pop that and then they had to throw darts at stuff.

Hehe I had to have a good laugh at that one tonight. It reminded me of a 1st edition game years ago where our new 1st level group braved the proverbial dungeon ruins, and one of the new players was a 1st level wizard. He used up his single Magic Missile in the first fight, then foolishly rushed a carrion crawler with his four hit points and dagger and nearly got eaten for his effort. He ended up being saved by the fighter but scolded for his lack of understanding his own squishiness. On the very next fight the wizard found a chair and sat down to read his spellbook while the party fought - hilarious and awful all at the same time. Needless to say the new player didn't stick it out with the wizard - I think we talked him into the wonders of a demi-human multi-class :)

Yay! Generosity!
Yay! Mothman!

Onto the second print - huzzah!

My attitude is that if I'm going to allow pirates with tricorne hats, their ships need to have cannons, and if they can have cannons on their ships, they can have a brace of pistols in their belts. It's a matter of setting the century and looking at the technology.

Certainly bullets can bypass plate armor, but so can crossbows, and yet you see lots of paladins clanking around in full plate while there are rogues with crossbows in the same party. If I can stand that sort of anachronism, I can stand the anachronism of plate armor in the age of bullets, especially if enchantments could make it the equivalent of kevlar vests.

Plus, it should also be noted, there is plenty of historic magic from the age of bullets, stuff like inscribing bullets with the target's name, silver bullets for werewolves, etc. If you've got werewolves running around, it doesn't ruin the fantasy to be shooting them with silver bullets, and if your flesh golems are based on Universal's take on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein? What century are you operating in again? It's certainly one with bullets and guns. If we can backdate firmly 19th century flesh golems into our medieval fantasy without ruining it, we can also backdate 19th century guns.

reminds me of this

I really enjoyed the movie. It seriously deserves an award for "Most Unfairly Criticized Film of the Year" and "Worst Marketing Campaign for a Good Movie".

Definitely getting it when it arrives on DVD.

Somewhere a power-gamer is crying into his splat books at none of us taking that ioun stone...

We've concluded that tornadoes have something serious against mobile homes. There was a tornado a few years ago that hit a mobile home manufacturing plant. We figured it decided to hit the nest before they could mature and move out into the real world. ;-)

Happy and Blessed Easter, all! Be safe and I hope you have time to have time with family.

Thank you all, once again. This is a truly amazing milestone, and it's a credit to your support and encouragement that I reached it.

“Boring conversation anyway.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Best avatar yet.

Closing this thread before it starts.

Oh, how I love hiding threads.

“How you doin’?” Beldan smiles crookedly and winks at the cutest grand-daughter who seems the least like Omma.

Read today that select AMC theaters will show a Thursday May 3rd marathon of Avengers related movies, culminating in a midnight screening of Avengers.

Sweet.

When 3.5 first came out I really disliked it because people stopped making noncompatible products.The ogl made everyone convert to the d20 system.3.5 wasnt bad far from the worst system I ever played but some settings(wod,earthdawn)dont work well with d20.Then Pathfinder came along and fixed everything i hated about 3.5.If wotc hasbro hadnt made 4th edition paizo likely wouldnt have made their own game.So I would like to thank you WOTC for your accidental creation of my all time favorite rpg.

LA is pretty trippy, but I've yet to see someone with a panther. There is a pirate who hangs out on the corner yelling "ARRRRR" at passersby, though. He even has a hat with the Jolly Roger on it. So, I guess that's trippy.

Taig, I can see why you like doing monster stats so much.

Huzzah! The adventure I've been working on for years (and once again am thanks to the eventually to be impending PaizoCon) has cleared another hurdle! I've actually written stats up for an NPC! And not just any NPC, but the BBEG!

With luck, I'll get to run it for some of you FAWTLY Folk in person!

Beldan creeps-five foot steps back from the mudnoid to R77, and lets fly with his crossbow, rapid re-loading like a pimped up Inevitable.

Haste, inspire, deadly aim and point blank shot all factored in to the attacks with the shocking burst crossbow:
#1: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35 Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 plus 1d6 ⇒ 3 electrical, plus 7d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 2, 2, 4, 4) = 17 sneak damage.
#2: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28 Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 plus 1d6 ⇒ 4 electrical, plus 7d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 5, 1, 4, 2, 2) = 22 sneak damage.
#3: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30 Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 plus 1d6 ⇒ 2 electrical, plus 7d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 4, 6, 3, 2) = 26 sneak damage.
First successful sneak attack also does 7 bleed, plus 2 strength damage.

So 132 damage if they all hit and it doesn’t have any resistances or immunities.

checking in, still alive.

I think it's creepy, Jeremy.

Huzzah! Huzzah! All the best to you, Daigle! From the moment you asked Gary Gygax to sign your teets, I knew you were special. You're a great designer and a great human being. Paizo once again chooses its staff with the utmost discernment. Congrats!

I did not see a Congratulation post so adding one.

Congrats Adam Daigle with your new job at Paizo!

Now I will have an excuse on why I only see you at Conventions..;)

Daigle got hired by Paizo...WOOT!

Sitting at the Iron GM event right now. Lord, the nerdery is amazing.

Count me in.

It seems like the weirder stuff Paizo does, the better it works.

Inbred blue people? The Old Ones are only sleeping.

And in other news...

...I got engaged over the weekend. Shocking, right?

This is a strictly Paizo-only announcement for now, since we're not going to tell her family for another few weeks at least, but still...

Oh, and Grimtooth's Traps, adapted for PF.

Oh heck yes

Well done on your superstar submission taig, and good luck!

Huh... Paizo only lets you favorite a post once.

Conjure mount (Su) As a move action a Sidhe Lord can summon and mount a Tiny phantasmal bird (spectral ravens and glittering swallows are common choices). The bird has fly 100 ft. using the Sidhe Lord’s fly skill, AC 22 (+4 Dex, +4 natural, +4 size), 19 hit points.
Gallant charge (Ex) When mounted and using the charge action, a Sidhe Lord may move and attack as if with a standard charge and then move again (continuing the straight line of the charge). When charging with a lance, a Sidhe Lord uses its Dexterity modifier on attack and damage rolls.

Intoxicating arrows (Ex) Arrows the size of thorns induce gleeful euphoria. Bow—injury; save Fort DC 19, frequency 1/round for 6 rounds, effect 1d4 Wis, cure 2 consecutive saves.

Primal magic flares constantly from these minute humanoids, and the whispered pulse of their music drives mortals to acts of passionate madness. Courtiers in the First World’s Hanging Bower, Sidhe Lords are otherworldly poet-knights, armored in iridescent dragonfly-scale, skilled with lance and lute and illusion.

Adventurous Sidhe Lords often venture through breaches into the Material Plane, driven by curiosity and the unrequited love they bear for the Green Mother. They guard sacred groves in the Lands of the Linnorm Kings, or protect those druids powerful enough to summon them. Sidhe Lords are prideful as oak and impetuous as fire; the slightest perceived insult is swiftly answered by deadly charges on conjured phantasmal steeds. In more playful moods they shoot intoxicating thorns and use spell-like abilities to mock those they see as unworthy of real combat.

When questing in the Material Plane, accompanied by enslaved pixies or other lesser fey, Sidhe Lords seek diversion from their immortal life. Beings of primal emotion, lust and anger burn hot in their mercurial hearts. Toying effortlessly with mortal minds, they drive simple folk to dramatic arguments and ardent trysts. They orchestrate cruel betrayals acted out by charmed victims, with no regard for the mortal lives they ruin. Violent passions rule where a Sidhe Lord walks, bright and beautiful and deadly in their careless power.
