Attack the zombie; gawd! i hate having only an hour of sleep lol

For David

oh we have tilapia in abundance here; prices hit rock bottom when the floods came....

And now we have a servant of the Omnissiah joining us. Could an assassin be far behind....

Hi Laz, I'd love to run a Mutants and Masterminds game based on this Darker than Black. Is season 2 already finished?

Congratulations!

Posted!

More meat for the grinder

Am excited to follow your adventures, guys.

Still here, Rev.

You should. Read or listen to the audiobook of "Twinkie, Deconstructed". Also, a $100 investment of seed will produce roughly $2500 worth of vegetables with a modicum of effort and energy, and a more useful use of a house's yard space than a lawn.

This topic has drifted from the OP's intent though...I wish you the best of luck Radavel! Keep us updated on your progress with your mission.

A point of fact, it's not that expensive to prepare seedlings for the forest I envision. Just provide students with some mangos have them eat them (sort of a reward) and then plant them in a pot. Once the plants are big enough, the process of transplantation can begin at the project site.

Ok, it seems that this thread has devolved into a science class.

KC, can you send me a link to the solar-powered whatchamacallits you mentioned aboved.

Giving in to despair though is not an option. As I said above, we must win the hearts and minds of others. Be Positive.

Oh and please remove the glaring red reminder in my account, you know which red sign I mean.

Sigh, just saw the problematic post on the IC....

Have you guys have seen Six Degrees that Could Change the World?

Not I, no. Let me guess: it's either A) six simple changes to the lifestyles of human beings that could prevent anthropogenic climate change, or B) what the anticipated effects of a 6-degree change to climate would be on life as we know it?

Edit: I was right with option B. Is it any good?

Yes, I agree, planting trees is not enough. But you have to start with something easy to encourage those who help that they can do it. A few easy successes should give them the inspiration and conviction for the long haul.

This is a war for the hearts and minds of people; to win them a way from apathy and despair. Maybe later once it has been established that things can indeed be done then we may have the moral persuasive power to encourage more radical change.

Well said, Radavel. That's why I suggest that you work on making this a community-based project. If you can get the people to understand the true value of this work, it makes a difference. I would assume you're looking at this to deal with the problems of an open, ugly mountainside and/or stormwater runoff, so you might look into some of the studies done on communities working to replant the mangrove forests over in Bangladesh (think it was Bangladesh). They've decimated their saltwater mangrove forests and are working to replant them and it's an effort that involves getting the community to understand their value.

Again, best of luck! I'm a Plant Science student, 3 weeks from a thesis defense, but I'll try to keep track of this thread. I'm not an ecosystem engineer, but I understand some of the basics. Where are you planning on doing this exactly?

The project will cover the mountains around Metro Manila; we had massive, as in once in a century, flooding. So I hope people will be eager to help.

Never Again I Say.

Any further suggestions?

Are there any local conservation organizations that could tailor a program to promote environmentally responsible living in kids? Are you in a position to help put together or assist such a program?

Getting the next generation of kids to be true stewards of the Earth is probably one of the best ways to improve things.

This issue appears to have been fixed!

thanks,

I figured that the problem was caused by the above.

Glad to hear that I am again credit-worthy!

hahaha

EDIT: Very much aware that maintaining the forest will be a primary concern for the next few years, hence, my idea of using fruit trees, so that the forest will yield produce that can be used for its upkeep.

Also, there will be the nay-sayers along the way. We call it the "crab mentality".

You may have read my other thread I'm Just Glad I'm Alive or may be you haven't. But the point of this thread, my fellow gamers, is discussing ways and means of combating the problem of climate change on a scale that will put a dent on the problem. Sure, each and every one of us have some idea on how do it. But if only a marginal percentage of the human population actually does something about it then there will be no noticeable impact.

What I believe is needed is an organized effort.

I have started letter writing efforts directed at various persons of influence to ask for their active support for a reforestation program I have in mind.

To Congress (Senators and Representative) - to declare the denuded mountain areas surrounding our metropolitan area as a watershed;

To Big Corporations - seedlings, fertilizer, equipment, transportation, food and water

To Schools - to encourage tree planting field trips

Any further suggestions?

Just need a little more time... will be bringing the books to the office.

It's alright KC.

As it stands, Drint will be going solo, unless your partymates interpose any objections.

Still need a few days to clean up the remaining books. It would have been easy to clean up if it was only water but a lot of foul red brown mud was thrown into the mix.

Basic services are back to normal, though a big chunk of my RPG books drowned.

And another storm is headed our way.

A Season of Storms? Sounds like a good title for a book.

Hello, Guys, been very busy, you may have noticed that I am not posting as often in Paizo as I used to.

Linky

Good luck to everyone! :-)

Essentially starting Rogue Trader PCs are equivalent to rank 5 Dark Heresy PCs.

Could it be that once we get to Deathwatch the power level would be so high that only a full Inquisitor can participate?

Happy Halloween to everyone!

Halloween in a few hours here.

BTW, I live less than a 100 meters from two cemeteries. Ghost-hunting anyone?

Love the work you've done, Rook.

Pre-ordered mine.

Shisumo, my workload just increased by another big notch and I don't want to delay the game, so please go on ahead without me.

Did any of you guys get the PF Chronicles Seekers of Secrets book? We can make you guys legit Pathfinders and there's some good looking PrCs in there.

Pre-ordered my copy.

Volume 4 is now available for pre-order and is called "Don't Split the Party"

I recommend everyone read a copy of the Redeemer for the proper portayal of the Redemption.

An excellent question... to which no answer is apparent.

Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles (Interview with a Vampire, The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned)

We can be creative. Power level is 10?

The styles in Imperfect Lotus tend to be more esoteric and dark than the ones in the original. At least that is how I read it. They are th truely hidden styles, that many in the Martial Arts world don't even know about.

I see. I only have volume 1.

Dave, when you want the stats ready? Also can we have characters from any place in Creation?

Not even close. If you want in, you're in!

Do you have M&M Conversions for the songs and other distinctions?
