That sucks.

I can understand people being angry, but what is the actual point to these protests? It seems a bit of a ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t’ situation for Greece at the moment, but this appears (to an outside observer who may not have a strong understanding of the situation) to be the slightly less worse option.

Are these just angry young men and women with no real understanding of the situation who’ve decided they’d like to burn things, or is there a salient point to the protests?

Stay safe anyway man.

So, has facebook done that pubic stock offering yet?

Ods bodkins!

Yaaaaay. Second time making quinoa. Got it right.

I only discovered quinoa recently, it’s great.

Happy b’day BP! Congrats on passing your exam CH! Well done on getting your apartment HD!

Sorry if I missed anything else major.

Hey all.

Ith, I hope you're managing to stay away from the riots?

No, doesn't ring a bell!

Sounds like we already have some volunteers – I’d be happy to run one too if people like, but I can’t promise that the pace would be a whole lot faster than Ith’s at the moment.

I’ve GM’d Mists of Mwangi (in 3.5, for no credit), but don’t mind playing it if others are cool with it. The other one I’m not familiar with.

Okay, we just got done with Kellen's Solar System 3D model and I got 2 questions.

#1. When did Pluto un-become a planet?

and #2. Why in the hell is this marker all over my hands not washing off?! Damnit. :/

#1. 2006 (it is now a dwarf planet)

#2. Permanent marker?

Ninja’d.

Yeah, I don’t think there’s any rule against it in PF. And I don’t see why there would be – you can still add strength behind attacks made with speed.

I don't know if it's because he listens to newer music, or that he listens to Australian music, but Mothman is my weak spot,

Ha! Probably a bit of both. I’ll try to link some of the better ones if I have a chance.

Speaking of new music, I can’t believe that I seem not to have been listening to any of Cloud Nothings’ new stuff while I’ve been browsing the message boards. Gark the Goblin is on to them though I think. It’s pretty awesome, and very different to their last record.

Urizen, I just followed your link to SKR’s Sword of Killing Hitler, I’m not sure how I’ve not seen this up until now, but that is gold.

How is everyone today anyway?

Happy Birthday Sebastian, have some hooker and blow.

But ... shouldn’t he make today special instead of same old same old?

Happy birthday Sebastian.

Hopefully the naked well wishing will help.

Studying for the securities license exam is kicking my butt. I think I had a dream about variable annuities last night.

Are you doing series 6 securities?

Yes, that's the one. Test is on Saturday.

Hope it goes well man.

Good on you for giving blood FHDM. I feel really bad that I don’t, so I make a monthly donation (of money that is) to the Red Cross instead.

Good news about the watch lynora

Bad news Heath, hope things go ok.

I'm thinking.....finessing a two handed weapon might mess up something; haven't really done any hard research though, but leaning against it.

Well the elven curve blade is a two handed weapon that IS finessible by RAW. I think the question is, whether it is reasonable to modify the Dervish Dance feat to apply to this weapon rather than the scimitar (would let you apply dex rather than str to damage rolls and allow the weapon to count as a one handed piercing weapon for purpose of abilities that rely on such a weapon.

Nevermore Spanky, nevermore.

Many congratulations guys, fawesome news.

Hang on ... wasn’t Sara Marie still answering customer service emails like 24 hours ago? Wow, Paizo are harsh taskmasters. ;-)

Sara Marie is a machine! She was actually at work doing her customer service best mere hours before giving birth!

That beats my wife when our 2nd was born. 'I won't be into work today. I had a baby this morning. Guess I'm starting my maternity leave.'

2nd child was 3 weeks early. ;P

I was singing in a concert one time where the principal oboist went into labor during the performance. She played on through her contractions and went to the hospital when the concert was over. That's dedication.

My partner works across the road from the hospital. A month before our son was due, she was having pains, and went to the hospital. They told her it wasn’t labour, nothing to worry about, go home, take some panadol and try to rest. She went home, took some meds, went to sleep, woke up in intense pain, realised that the baby was crowning, called the ambulance, gave birth on our bed, called me (getting a phone call at work to hear ‘I just had the baby’ is a shock), then had to go downstairs to unlock the front door for the paramedics before they smashed it open.

Sounds like an awesome trip aeglos, I hope one day I will get a chance to visit the US (and perhaps Paizocon) ... not very likely at this stage though.

Glad to hear about your averted disaster lynora!

I see why this is. You're a subscriber to our bedroom webcam feed.

Yeah, that’s kinda why I decided to go with Dark Matter (modern, spooky investigation style game) rather than Star Drive (starships, gravity weapons, crazy aliens) when I ran it.

Might work better in pbp.

Then, DarkMatter was pretty cool too .... hrmmm ...

Yeah ... I don't know anyone, either in my RL groups or amongst those I usually pbp with on the boards.

That's why I figure I'd probably run it using d20, at least you can get that as an SRD.

But then ... I'd have to convert a lot of the Star Drive stuff to d20 (not that much i guess, quite a bit of it is in the srd already), then I'd probably want to Pathfinderize d20 Modern ... too much to do, not enough time.

It was a fairly good system – a lot of it was sort of streamlined to become the basics for D&D 3rd edition. Then a lot of the Alternity stuff was re-introduced into d20 Modern and Future when they did those.

I GM’d a campaign of Alternity using the Dark Matter campaign setting (sort of an X Files clone), I think I only ran about two sessions of a more future sci fi game. I have a whole bunch of the Star Drive setting books, I think its a really good space opera setting. I’ve contemplated a time or two running a game set there, either using Alternity or d20 Modern/Future, but like 95% of my planned games I’ve never gotten off the ground with it.

Did you ever play Alternity? The Weren in that were kind of late medieval / early renaissance period big, war-like brutes, running about with greatswords and flintlocks in an FTL capable scifi setting. Good stuff.

so you had one Gary in your dream (me), and a non-Gary (studpuffin) who looked like your friend Gary, and Treppa, who looked like halle berry? Sounds awesome, but I'm sure Treppa makes a better storm than halle (still haven't forgiven her for the trilogy).

Yeah, I think it was my subconscious knowing that you are a Gary also putting in the person that I most associate with the name Gary in there as well. I think Halle Berry was in there because I (unfortunately) caught a snippet of Catwoman when I was channel surfing before I went to bed last night (I like Halle Berry but I don’t like her in that movie). I’m not sure what prompted me to associate her with Treppa though.

You had a great loft apartment in my dream by the way! :-)

Of course, I'm so far behind the times that this was probably posted a long time ago...

Still, I find this very humorous.
D&D now has its own theme song, roll a d6, a great parody.

It’s a good one.

Please, continue...

It wasn’t that sort of dream.

That would have been the dream I had the night before ...

Congratulations Daniel! Although there were a couple of shaky bits in this submission, I thought the central idea was fantastic, I’m glad to see that you advanced. Good luck in round 3.

Congratulations Sam, a well deserved advancement ... and without once re-visiting this thread to encourage voters.

Well done on moving forward Russell – gnolls with guns FTW! Looking forward to seeing your monster.

Congratulations Will, very glad to see that you made it to Round 3. Hope that you rock that monster entry!

Congratulations Jacob! While I had a couple of questions regarding your submission, I liked the core idea and some of the details. Seeing your recent post I can also appreciate that there was actually a lot of thought and, well, fittingness to this one. Glad that you made it through. Good luck in round 3!
