Wow, they can count in Arkansas.

Yup. Until I run out of fingers and toes.

You can always just chop them off and grow more.

One, two, many, lots. We've about capped it out already.

I wonder if this Peyton Manning thing will now get brushed under the rug. He will retire and everyone will say doesn't matter he is retiring nothing to see here move along. Integrity of the game my butt.

Maybe we'll get lucky and the Colts will be stripped of a couple first round picks.

You know what's more refreshing than a cold Coors Light? First post after the Super Bowl!

Those other people are more than free to play the literally hundreds of other options out there for tabletop RPGs.

I am not there in person, so I can't quite see the guns being held to the heads of those complaining about Pathfinder while they roll the dice, hands shaking for fear of having their brains blown out if they choose another competitive option.

With f+&$ing who?

We don't play Pathfinder because it's good, we play it because it's f!##ing popular and getting together a table of a better game is nigh impossible.

"Play something else" is f&!*ing useless advice.

I've always wondered... are you typing out the little symbols, or does the forum do that for you?

f!&$ if I know. And apparently it does it for you.

I'll probably just wait for the Family Guy version to come out.

What would be the Nerd power of a dude that's never seen Star Wars?

178. That one moment when the GM screen accidentally falls and we all see his notes and prepared minis.

209. When sentences and words condense and you see something else.

Is this a baptism?

edit: the previous posts not the new years cheers.

Talking pretty big there for someone who said this only a few months ago:

just got back into gaming a few months ago after 20yrs....wow a lot has changed,

I'm curious as to why you don't have more respect for the decade and a half of experience the others have in this current editionthread's idiosyncrasies.

Though, knowing the vast majority of your experience is from 2e or earlier.. and a couple decades old at that.. could explain your stance on this.

I just don't understand the attitude.

I would say I fixed that for you, but really I just did it for my own entertainment.

Try these:

• I like this one
  
• That could be an instrument he's playing
  
• Oh, the humanity

#2 That's a dwarven shot glass if I've ever seen one.

Dumb Fact: This alias was the name of my last Fantasy Football team. I think it hindered my ability to make trades.

Snag!

There better not be a new thread titled 'Nerf the 1v1 Scenarios'.

How about Nerf the 1v1 Scenarios at the Gate?

That wouldn't work for me of course because I skip the beginning and go right to the end.

There better not be a new thread titled 'Nerf the Gate!'

I'm not falling for that one.

I recommend cooking it first, especially since you must harvest it yourself.

Wait, this isn't a stick, and the other end is giving me a weird look.

What was the DC for jumping on the bandwagon?

Everyone leave and that person can stay.

You could alter a bag of tricks. A tan bag is 16K and pulls out CR 3 and 4 creatures. You could alter it to pull out an equivalent NPC or other equivalent things like maybe a dancing weapon that attacks on its own.

Dear Captain Yesterday,

I just reached 100 posts for the first time with an alias. What should I expect from here?

Thank you,
Live Bait

And I liked that post. Dang!

Reminds me of one time I was in Brooklyn with La Principessa meeting some of her friends and we were in some overpriced coffee shop. She and her friend started chatting and the friend's husband was cramming to pass the bar, so he had his headphones on which left me with a copy of Asimov's More Soviet Science Fiction eavesdropping on a couple of white, French I think, but what do I know?, maybe they were Belgian or something, hippies arguing with a black hippie about GMO's.

The Euro-hippies were adamantly anti-GMO and the black hippie was all like, "we could wipe out rickets in one generation." "I don't trust science," said Eurohippie. "Science is great" responded black hippie, who was wearing a t-shirt advertising something like Doctor Zang's Electrotherapy Clinic. I figured it was a band or something, but after they left, the law student looked it up and it turned out to be some quack in Bushwick or something who claimed he could use electric shocks to make you stop biting your nails or quit smoking.

I guess Quitter's Inc. was taken.

Arguably, I might not allow a dragon to deliver touch spells with its face. There are no rules that I know of that say you MUST deliver touch spells with your hands (claws), but it kind of makes sense - after you do all the casting with your hands, then delivering the touch spell by licking the target seems a bit weird.

More often than not you're doing half the casting with your mouth.

Juice by Tappy! Juice by Tappy!
Juice by Tappy!
ohhh, Tappy's got juice!
Tappy's got juice!
Whoa, Tappy!

I prefer a chair that isn't under any GM if that's ok.

Yep, lost again.

Weird, I've been argumentative since Georgia.

The Pacific is strong with this one.

Wait, so that's not the complete guide to traits? I've been misled.

Great, all the free chips have been wolfed down before I could get one.

If I ever actually give my wife's stuffed animals PFS numbers and take credit for running them through scenarios then I'll take the crazy bait.

The DM mentally picks a number (1-20 for a d20)

The player picks a number (1-20 for a d20)
The DM adds them together and subtracts 20 if the result is over 20.

So the result is always 1.

holy crap ... over 1000 posts about jumping over a pit?!

the world has gone insane. there is no other explanation.

** spoiler omitted **

more like 700 and then 300 on people secretly trying to post random stuff to get to 1000 posts.

And that is somehow more sane?

Yes

Dude...go look at how a long jump is measured in track and field.

Dude... go try some track and field. With a 10-ft. pit. I assure you that you do not want to jump exactly 10 feet, regardless of how you choose to measure it.

To be fair the pit in track in field is at the same level as the runway so you're probably in more danger of injury if you clear it than if you don't. ;p

Note to self: bring 15ft pole to 10ft pit discussions.

Finding agreement in this forum should confirm that your sanity has left the building.

It didn't look good that Tl's posts were going unfavorited here. I've remedied the situation, but don't let it happen again people. It's not cool.

Depends: do tequila and lime constitute "your own experience"? ;)

I suppose that depends on how much tequila and lime you use as a substitute for "your own experience".

Well, since the discussion lasted a whole 3 days in January 2003 I don't know how promising it is.

I think the big issue here is the PCs saying mithral protects them from silver.

Which it doesn't.

Especially when it is forcibly removed and they are then beaten with it. Good times.

I did some research while developing this, and the size of such an egg seems to be roughly the size of an American football or a cantaloupe melon

How big and heavy would that be for us Europeans? :)

I'm curious as to how my players will perform during the chase scene, next week.

Roughly 5.5 kg. unless using one of the NE Patriots balls. Then it would be 4kg.

At first I was picturing the eggs to be the size of ones in Godzilla movie (mathew broderick one)

Totally read that as the Neutral Evil Patriots.

I could not stab them Phyl-li-an

but that's not his name. Pretty sure Phyllain is two syllables.

Probably should have been "Gol Phyllain" or maybe "goblinworks."

And if I hadn't missed changing the second "like" to a "stab."

Change stab to fillet and it's all good.

Just threaten to start sundering and they will beg you to CdG.

Nice touch with the owlbear cub death trap.

What is wrong with smurfing? Guys, let's all chip in and discuss smurfs!!!

It's smurfing contagious and it really smurfs me out.

Smurfing.

That's not the kind of drama we're looking for!

Well, they've already developed owlbears. How much longer really before they crack the owldragon?

Just remember, when in doubt, blame Cosmo!
