They make these big pots of seafood, and if a group of diners makes an order for one of these, it is MUCH better,... Are you talking about this pot?!
Trying to keep this one in mind. We will have two songs. My wife and I are bringing Minnesota to PaizoCon!
Say it isn’t so!Wait ... are you saying Boomer is a Hall and Oates fan? Well, he'll just have to come to Paizocon to either verify or deny it, I guess. ;) That is the plan.
Zuxius, you are now very high on my personal list of honor. Just got off the phone with the hotel, upgraded from 5 nights to 7 nights. The guy at the front desk gave us a lower rate for the entire week, and the free breakfast. It only increased the cost of staying (after tax) by $170 bucks, and with effectively $140 breakfast credit throughout the week, it comes out to a functional increase of $30 bucks. For two extra nights. Man, you rock. Thanks for the suggestion. :) I am glad to be of service! These hotels...where there is a will there is a way.
Perhaps in the future the Grand Convocation will return. It was amazing how it involved so many ages and people. It was incredibly engaging. I do understand how stressful it is to pull off a multifaceted event. This is your weekend and it would be nice to see you enjoy it. Afterall, the original idea behind PaizoCon was to celebrate you guys. I hope to make this PaizoCon worth it for you too.
I did overhear Erik Mona say that the turn out for the Grand Convocation was terribly underwhelming (where were you guys?). On a different note, the Convocation did have some serious bottlenecks. If everyone had shown up, they would have not been able to get in certain games for 20 mins or more. I think this event needed fine tuning, that's all. Everyone that attended loved it, despite its drawbacks.
Pah! You know where to find the free beer!
***************************************************************** I will give you one right now! Mwangi Spit! It is a tart beer that is brewed regionally in Kibwe. The recipe was taken from a brewer that hailed from the Lands of the Linnorm Kings. He ran brewery this brewery using the locals and kept a tight supervision. He never shared the recipes and was secretive about his yeasts. Before his death from a terrible illness he burned the recipes and exposed his yeasts to contamination. Tutwe, his foreman took over the brewery trying to replicate the recipe using the contaminated yeast and memory, but failed in some aspect to recreate the brew. People from out of town that visit the local bars call it Mwangi Spit! For it seemed to offend their beer sensibilities so much that they spit it out! This beer is my Berliner Weiss. It is a tart beer served with a slightly squeezed lemon slice. *************************************************************************** *******************************************
That is where I really fall short sometimes when time is of the essence...excellent names. Now if Clinton Boomer was here. He would have had it done and baffled everyone with the incredible thought process it must have taken to come up with the names. I still am amazed by his story Road to Varno. I do lament his absence. Trust me, these names will be bizarre and out of the way of mainstream.
Of course you can pretend, but the idea is to make it real. I am using the blank side water, day after tomorrow. My players are going down the river in Jason Bulmahn's Masks of the Living God. So, the blank waterside makes perfect sense. I am also using a barge and the dinghy from Map Packs Boats and Ships. The textures between these two products blend seamlessly with little printer fade or off coloring. The experience promises to be vivid. Not like taking a blank green map and saying, "Pretend it is water" or "this plastic dice tray is your barge." I bought this stuff, and I am happy they are making it. Blank sheets and all.
Hmm, I have to agree with KaeYoss to some extent. I don't have ATT towers where I live in Elko Nevada. This basically means if I want to enjoy the happy iPhone world of Mac Users...I will have to leave my home for an ATT umbrella. Ok, I live in the sticks. I am an excluded minority of all the people that "do" have the opportunity to have an iPhone, but that doesn't mean I should be considered a non voice. I am not an iPhone user because iPhone won't have me. I guess Macs are neat. They run real innovative software. The Apple corporation won't compromise when it comes to being forced into Apps like "Flash". They know it is dated garbage, but PDF reigns supreme. Apple won't compromise their superior software to acquire the use of PDFs. They really don't like Flash. When you see such standards being held against industry giants, you realize Mac is struggling against immense pressure to "give up" advancement of technology and instead just labotomize themselves to become vessels for "accessible mediums." I sort of feel for Mac's plight there. They are being bullied by "big norms" that hold keys to vast consumer numbers. iPhone is becoming the strong man in its market and I believe that it will crossover into other markets letting Mac stand on its own two feet where they weren't allowed before. Their success will pave the way for several improvements (including ones to our game). I get the feeling that Paizo feels they have a part to play in this movement. Their desire to support Apple in every way adds their financial vote to moving forward in technology. Erik Mona at NeonCon appears to resonate this philosophy. He is excited about future technology and how it will relate to pen and paper gaming. It appears that he has seen several demonstrations as to how this will come about. Apple? I think this is a no compromise line for Paizo. As an owner of a PC and not an owner of an iPhone, it sucks to be me. I wish I had an iPhone so I can appreciate those Apps that Paizo supports (or will support). I never owned a Mac, but they do look fantastic from what I have seen. I would love to see Paizo related Apps for other phones, but I know that isn't feasible. I would love to have Pathfinder support for Fantasy Grounds ( I do own 2 full licenses and 5 limited ones for players), but I know that would keep people using PCs instead of Macs. I respect their decision (if I do understand it correctly) and I think this post needs their input before it goes any further. However, it is a pro Apple stance and not a very friendly gaming one. Especially if you consider my situation. Cheers,
I find out my days off for next week today. I am hoping to have a hellacious ketchup day when I get it free. I predict like tuesday or wednesday. Yes, Anchor Steam has long been an infatuation beer for me. I drink it slightly warmer than refrigerated temperature. It really mellows out the harsher hoppy overtones. Of course, me beer has some harshness like Anchor Steam, but a bit smoother. I drink my version as cold as I like. It is a very good tasting beer and a worthy attempt at the Steam category. I use the Anchor Steam yeast, which makes it taste like a very close relative (sister beer if you will). I can firmly say we have a Qadiran Ale (Pumpkin Ale) These beers I plan to display as showpieces, 1 label per type. I will also be creating a beer menu which will feature your labels too. Considering the idea of a beer sample tray as well. :)
