Oooh!

Thank you to Caladors for a succesful trade of miniatures for a Fiend Folio and Dragon magazines.

Malice.

Cool, you just described practically 80% of the posts on the boards.

Have you learnt to use the letter u in flavour, colour and neighbour?

Still using feet instead of metres?

I like American English. It is, however, a regional dialect, and ought to be culled from international fora.

Insisting that Paizo exclusively adopt the American form seems a touch parochial to me.

one of my favorite quotes is that reason and faith are the two wings which shall fly us to truth.

Faith and reason are very difficult to reconcile. Faith is an apriori defiance of reason. Faith is the opposite of reason.

Faith is an answer that cannot be questioned. Philosophy is questions that cannot be answered. Science asks good questions. Religion is a collection of bad answers.

Science flies us to the moon. Religion flies us into skyscrapers.

I like them because they are beautiful.

I have finished Age of Worms up to the wormcrawl fissure, where we ended the path.

I have finished Savage tide.

We are about to finish Rise of the Runelords.

Legacy of fire is next.

Well I don't like hippogriffs. They have long nasty beaks, and they wet their nests.

1: Charm an animal.
2: Speak with the animal. Get it to get you some mistletoe.
3: use endure elements, produce flame and create water to break bars on the bottom, so gravity assists you in breaking them. I am assuming a metal cage. Heat stress is your friend. (rapidly heating and cooling metal breaks the temper, and can severely weaken it.)
4: Summon an eagle to help break your fall. That is what you needed the mistletoe for.

You have a few days to do this. Use the animal you befriended to get you some help or backup, and scout out your gear and companion for you.

Figurative rejoinder.

I always find it funny when people drive to the gym.

If intellect devourers were incorporeal, I would like them a lot more. I think they should be tentacular ethereal consciousnesses that bind to the nerves. Makes them a lot more scary if they can lurk in the walls of Orv and Sekamina.

Lot didn't offer himself. Humble ye them is a bit of a strange invitation. Don't look for morality in the bible.

And that is why we can't have nice things.

I wish China would allow Taiwan to declare independence, and become an ally.

Hello guys this is actualy my first post on the messageboards.

My name is Mario, from Monterrey Mexico

taken from the PFRPG SRD

"This suit of full plate is made of dragonhide, rather than metal, so druids can wear it. It is otherwise identical to masterwork full plate. "

I think this gives the Druids the oportunity to use them, it doesnt states thou that you need the needed proficiency to use heavy armor.

Use of heavy armour requires a feat.

I live in Taiwan. I wish to trade my unused 3.5 materials for a variety of common and uncommon minis for use at my table.

Have:

Player's Handbook.
Dungeon Master's guide.
MM II
MM III
Spell Compendium.

Dungeon magazine from 110 to 150.
(I would prefer to trade these as follows:
Dungeon 110 to 122 - loose issues.
Dungeon 124 to 135 - Age of Worms adventure path.
Dungeon 136 to 138 - loose issues.
Dungeon 139 to 150 - Savage Tide adventure path.Issue 148 is missing
)

Want:

Dungeons and Dragons Miniatures from any set. Common and uncommon. I have no interest in them as collectibles, and simply want more minis to use at my game table. I am looking for quantity and quality, not rarity. I would rather have a lot of cheap plastic than an Elminster or Drizzt or what-have you.
That said, If there is a rare that is an iconic creature from the monster manual, I would be interested in the cheaper rares.

I want to allay any doubts and fears by proposing that I send my part of a trade to you first, and that, on receipt of my part, you then send yours. I will thus absorb all the risk on the trade.

Because of the great distances involved, I am unwilling to pay for air freight. Shipping standard mail only.

I look forward to seeing your replies.

Please use this thread to reply, so that everything can be in the open. That way, everyone has full information.

I have a copy of this post on Hordelings.com

I will be ready to start up again on the fifteenth of October. It is exam time coming up, but I can post a few times a day again from then. I would start earlier, but long experience has taught me not to try to do anything at crunch times.

Merlin Faraday is four months old tomorrow. He gets to eat his first food ever.

Any questions about the game, ask away.

Wait, here's an eye...

And here's a hand...

Talk to the hand.

Thank you both.

Sock it to me, baby!

Thank you Radavel.

Blatantly ignorant claim that rouge is the correct spelling for theif in the world's second most popular roll playing game.

Claim that a spelling edit was made, despite the evidence of te post itself.

My father comitted suicide yesterday. I need to go to South Africa to administer his estate, and make funeral arrangements. He and I were very close. I will not be posting for a while, and because there are variables outside my control, I do not know how long that while will be.

Please check the >>>discussion thread.<<<

By the way, best wishes to Taliesin/Tate. I hope he and his family are okay. He lives in Taiwan, which was just catastrophically struck by typhoons.

Morakot was a heavy one. I live on the fifteenth floor. Our building was swaying about a foot and a half.

My wife and son are fine.

My father comitted suicide yesterday in South Africa, and I am the only member of my family who is definitely able to attend his funeral and administer his estate. He and I were very close. I will not be on the boards for a while.

There are some trends that I think make the ignorance situation worse today than in generations before. Marketing has become so specialized in its targeting over the 20th-21st centuries, focusing on increasingly exacting segments of the population, that it's harder to see, be exposed to, or really interact with cross-segment information. There are so many choices in consumer goods and luxuries (including cable TV stations, radio stations, musical genres, clothing styles, etc) that can be promoted directly to specific market segments that nobody really has to leave their own little coccoons of comfort. It's no wonder that kids today (and Gen Xers, Baby Boomers, etc) may not have the same breadth of tastes and cultural literacy as their predecessors. They're caught in a feedback loop of stuff marketed to them based on stuff they already like and know.

That said, because of the readily accessed information in today's online media, someone who is curious probably has a better chance of being able to expand that cultural literacy on their own than previous generations. But that's an individual's effort now whereas more of it was broadly transmited before.

The wood is a seeming impenetrable thicket of white elms and hawthorne trees, but your passage is not slowed. The trees seem to lean in toward each other, and here and there, a visual artefact pops into your awareness. What looks like a string of lights is only a spiderweb. A face is only a mossy knot. Once you see a moth the size of a shield, with a copper covered atomie rider. It circles you twice, then flies upward and vanishes into the branches.

Ahead is a ring of small blue pepples. Crassus nudges Paper.

I live in Taiwan. Many Taiwanese and Chinese pop products do mangy cover versions of classic sixties and seventies songs. When I tell my students that their latest pop fix is older than I am, they shake their heads patiently, and insist that "NO teacher, this song from S.H.E"

Standout examples include:

Hotel california 'Totally by some twenty something kid from hsinchu!'
Take me home, country road.
Yesterday.
Careless whispers.
and my personal favourite, We will rock you.

I once asked a class of seniors what the most important thing to ever happen in history was.

Nothing yet. Typhoons do strange things to shipping, and we have had two typhoons in as many weeks here in Taiwan, including the deadliest storm in fifty years. More than 500 dead, and a village gone. Who cares about a book being delayed in the face of disaster like that?

I still catch my breath when I go toward my mailbox.

595 smurfing posts. What the smurf?

There are many ways to enjoy 3.5 and Pathfinder. If people like to make creative builds, and attempt to break the system, let them. If there are people who don't want to see that part of the boards, they can use the handy little triangle next to the forum, and never see it again.

There is no correct way to play. We should be inclusive.

Nothing is lost by anybody if there is a designated area for Charop. I won't participate, but I wholeheartedly support their call for one.

Even if it is not my thing.
