Cool. Thanks.

So... uh... when does Round 2 go live?

Bards, while not great for combat-combat, are still a viable class for supporting combat. Bard songs, buffing, hampering foes, countering spells...

I believe I can cut the Gordian knot of how Seoni can have a CHA four more than Kyra, when Kyra is obviously just as hot. Simple. If Kyra took her clothes off, her CHA would increase by four.

See! I've been saying this!

Kyra's the choice for the Civil War-era pornography buffs. "Wait..is that an exposed ankle?! Kyra, you tease! I'd better hide this from Aunt Flo, lest she take me for a carpetbagger!"

Or for those who have improbable hot young catholic nun fantasies.

Which, uh, is not what I'm into. Um.

WHAT ME AND SISTER MARY PATRICK DO IN MY FANTASIES IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!

No. Charisma is 4 less :P

As we all know that 1]Charisma represents more than physical beauty and 2]in fantasy settings ALL women are hot babes, I think it's safe to say that Kyra's lower Charisma score could represent aspects of her personality such as her "fierce will" as mentioned in her backstory.

Plus Seoni cheated. I bet they'd be right even if Seoni bothered wearing clothes.

oops. forgot to [/threadjack]

So...

since they don't smelt under the sea... What do you suppose is the coin of the realm down there where its wetter and life is so better?

Pearls? Clams? Shiny bits of corral?

Wood. They use the clams for their clothing.

Sect, your mission in case I am late, is to grill Dr. Jacobs about the Starstone and all things aquatic in tonight's chat. I post this here, so that he has fair warning. No, "Uhhh, I dunno, we're going to uhh, reveal that later." :) Just kidding James!

Unfortunately, with the alterations to my work schedule, I'll be dead asleep when the chat happens.

[threadjack]That is, IMO, the best part of that whole movie.

I love the whole movie, especially the nit-pickery between the witches, but yes, Dragon-Maleficent was indeed the best part. I mean, that sleek physique, the wonderful color scheme of her scales, the ferocity of her breath of emerald flames...

... But, yeah, Lilo and Stitch kicked ass.

Oh I know. I have a 18 year old daughter. Don't think for a moment I didn't sit through the Little Mermaid a dozen times. I was always partial to Beauty and the Beast myself. :)

But yes, I have a bad mind. After 40 one becomes a little jaded.

But hey! What about all that cool stuff that James has been alluding to?

Me, I'm a huge fan of Sleeping Beauty. Dragon-Maleficent is hawt!

Anyways, all I know of the seas of Golarion is right here. I'm just stoked at JJ's serious response to a joke question I asked last week.

So what's this about aboleths pulling down Starseeds or whatever?

NINJA EDIT: Starstone. Whatever. What is it? Is it tasty?

That's okay buddy. I'm partial to Seoni myself. Perhaps that makes me shallow, but if so, then I have come to terms with it.

Which is weird, because Seoni has a lot of qualities that attract me, while Kyra, as of this moment, doesn't (haven't seen her without her armor...).

Clearly, this must be rectified. More pictures of Kyra, preferably sans armor and/or clothing and/or dignity!

Mr. Sect, I believe we can come to an accomodation. Deal.

In fact, let's throw in some old style Drow babes. Scimitar weilders need not apply.

I would not object to the Drow babes, but I would be very sad if Kyra isn't included in the deal.

If can't tell yet, Kyra is my favorite iconic so far. I don't know why.

Only if it includes Cheetara.

So can anybody see any opposition between land and sea in the gradually unvieling of Golarion's aquatic mysteries? Perhaps there is both opposition and relationship?

Why would the mermaids/sahaugin/other mysterious fishy creatures want anything to do with the land? After all, that is a big mistake. They just need to take a look at the world around them right there on the ocean floor. There's such wonderful things surrounding them, what more are they looking for?

Okay, references aside, are we talking about the Chelixian dead god, mentor of... Desna? or whas that Iomadae(sp?), or some other one?

Doo doooo doo-doo

Don't worry, McCoy! We'll save this thread!

Still, always pleased to hear from a fan . . . and to get a free joke out of it.

Hm, cool. I'll try to watch it as soon as I can.

IMO, that joke'll probably work best if it deals with an interview with the a$@&@## cartographer who named the damn places. Or something.

Going back to the elemental weapon question, will the enchantments still do xd6 damage, or will they be lessened to account the fact that they can pretty much flash fry any creature?

Mr. Peterson:

Will your and the other judges assessment of the countries be spoiler-fied? I want to make my own judgement, then afterwards look at what you wrote to compare our opinions, rather than potentially having someone else's opinion influence who I vote for.

Continuing the geeking:

The sea is such a source of myth-building inspiration.

This is obvious horror. The likes of which are HP Lovecraft's Deep Ones, and Dagon..

And beauty.. like the obvious myth of the merfolk themselves.

Interesting aside: in Celtic mythology, the Fomori, giants who opposed the gods, were said to have came from the sea.

EDIT: So when are we going to see the transcripts for this week and last week?

Eh, I kinda sorta like Affleck. Not the best, but decent.

Y'know, that's all good, until the Hand gives you a premonition of becoming a demonic minion, and then, whoop, bob's your uncle, there you are.

Betcha they would've saw that one coming if they had the eye of Vecna, too.

My dream was, um, bizarre last night. I dreamt that I was talking to the Great Eye about programming. (A big eye floating in a cubicle surrounded by servers...yeah. >.> )

So... are you saying that Mr. Teter is actually the Machine Messiah from WoD?

Anyways, a month ago, I had a weird dream, where a swarm of black somethings were crawling up my legs, and I sprinted out the front door... only to wake up, outside my trailer, standing barefoot in gravel, wearing only my underwear. -_-o

Then yesterday I dreamt that one of my battles had faked his death, and Wil Wheaton was apparantly involved.

I like less-lethal D&D for the same reason I don't play Call of Cthulhu: I really can't see the point in spending any kind of time developing a character if the character I now know and love will be very thoroughly permanently dead within two sessions.

Hey, my character BROKE that rule of CoC! How many investigators do you know of have taken a hit from an evil bird-god of Sumeria or whatever and lived?

Granted, the slash to the chest had shocked him into unconciousness immediately, and they had a hell of a time explaining it to the hospital...

<sigh>

Another example of 4e really being d20 WoW instead of a new version of the game that people have loved for the last 30 years. Disappointed, but not surprised.

Actually, WoW already has a d20 version out, and I'm certain that acid puking shamans aren't in it.

Well, if it's the winning the money that's the problem, just tell him up front that you really didn't mean the odds that you had told him. After all, you WERE wasted and tired. Just lower the odds so that he still makes a profit, but not as great as one.

Either that, or let him profit from his wily tactics.

Spirited Charge + critical hit = dead Shalelu.

Whoops!

Let us know what you come up with Shisumo. I'm sure there have to be other people out here that are having similar problems too.

Well, the PCs forgot to grab Shalelu's body when they fled Thistletop the first time, so I think I'm going to have Lamashtu raise her as some kind of undead. Since Lamashtu is (roughly) aligned with Alaznist rather than Karzoug (thus far, anyway), I plan to have her be the reason why the party gets involved with Fort Rannick - Lamashtu will basically be interfering with Karzoug's plans by drawing the PCs in. (Shalelu will probably send a message to the PCs saying something like, "Turtleback Ferry is in a bit of a spot. Say hello to my father when you see him. - Shalelu") I may change my mind when if I see Sins of the Saviors before I get to the end of The Skinsaw Murders, but that's my plans for now.

Anyone got any suggestions for a suitable undead type to make Shalelu when she reappears?

I believe PF 2 or 3 has the perfect answer for you... if you can find a way to have Shalelu blame the heroes for her death.

Of course, that particular undead requires the person to be murdered, so maybe not...

The spelling and grammar is a bit questionable at times though . . . and don't even get me started on the typos! hmmmm, on second though don't read my campaign journal, it needs some serious editing, and is probably a tad preachy . . . and it contains some strong anti-bullfrog remarks.

Yeah, um, Fray? Don't draw us into something that we aren't even involved in.

Good to hear that about your girl, by the way.

If you think this is utter madness, wait till Lillith posts the minutes from this week's Paizo chat.

Till all are one!

Holy crow! That's a lot of modules! And why wouldn't I want to pay good money for it? Is it bad?

First off, alot of these modules are written to be played in a maximum time of four hours, and several eight hours. THe just don't have the sheer amount of content that most published modules do.

As for quality... some of it's good, and some of it's "Dwah?!". There's a reason why one of my characters hates hates hateshatesHATES the City of Greyhawk (as a player, I love it, but in one of the modules, things happens that just plan pissed off one of my characters due to the sheer ridiculousness of it).

Oh, and the dwarven assassin that gets eight actions per round. Don't ask. Please.

And the f~%&ing flying monkeys on the way to Tenh.

... I could keep going. In any case, there definitely are keepers, but there's also plenty of washouts, as well as modules that you could've easily made yourself.

SO, why is W1 a 6th level adventure and W2 & W3 4th level? Are these not the old adventures where they were great as single shot but better a campaign?

They are not part of a series; W is used to mark it as a Wilderness adventure.

Seriously, though... This really bums me out. I'm not asking for these modules for free. I'd pay good money for them. Probably five or ten bucks a pop. How many modules are we talking here anyhow?

I've been aching to get my hands on this material for years, but I've never really wanted to run them in the Living system. I just want the material. I can't believe people are publishing modules for Greyhawk that I can't buy, borrow or steal.

Grrr!

Er... for some of this, you wouldn't want to pay five dollars. Two, maybe.

As for quantity, think of it this way. My region, Verbobonc, comes out with roughly fifteen modules a year. There are about twenty or so regions.

Sam being a bummer.

Man... okay. Forget it, then.

Seriously, that's kinda sucky... and weird, considering that no one even profits from the adventures. I can understand using the adventures to make a profit apart from LG, but just giving them to someone to play...? Weird.

Ask me again at the end of next year; by that time, LG will be over, and I can give you a bunch of Verbobonc regional modules.

You also gotta remember that the dam is partially destroyed, creating a constant drain on the water in the lake. So, it's quite possible that the controls are no longer needed, though the lake will be pretty low from now on.

Damn, Lil, that's alotta qustions. Think that many questions would scare some players, and make them nervous about their background.

Baaaarrrrrffffff

I can feel your pain...

... And I can smell it, too. Ew. Breath mint?

A mummy with a hairy chest...

I have the notes for it written up somewhere on an old computer, but basically it involved a trip to one of the lower planes that started in the island prison outside of the city, involved an insane prisoner who thought he was Mayor Charles Oliver O'Kane, and a bunch of nasty fights on other planes, including a nasty battle against a sentient moon (I think it was called Mimicry, and I actually pulled the idea from a Planescape sourcebook).

I... I can't even imagine the stats for a giant moon.

Does this help?
