I have spent way too much on gaming stuff this month...No you haven't. You need to donate to the Kickstarter I just linked above.
See that was the problem. I donated to the Bones Kickstarter so my Kickstarter budget is non-existant at this point.
I forgot my favorite detail from the Black Goblin's misadventures:
So his character was some magus archetype called the "bladebound" or something. She had an intelligent sword and every time someone said something to her, the Black Goblin would mutter inaudibly and talk to his sword before firing back with an insult! Hee hee!
Anyway, my game is not all about the Black Goblin--poor Dok who had been kissed by a vargouille lost all his hair and now has giant flippity-flop ears; Avianna Silverplume met her long-lost brother, Pennywhistle (and then ignored his plea to come see her dying mother); the party was attacked by eleven (eleven!) werewolves, but nobody contracted lycanthropy. Yet.
We haven't even gotten to the first encounter in Broken Moon, though.
I recently purchased the Ultimate Equipment book. I suggest getting it on PDF versus the hardbound book.

EDIT: On a more serious note, I would have to know what your qualifications and skills were.

Well....Bachelors degree in English.
5.5 years of EMS dispatch, 2.5 of which at supervisory level.
2.5 years of general call-center experience.
Decent painter, decent carpenter, decent landscaper.
Funnily enough I considered animal control before my current occupation. I don't think it would be good to have me armed and up close regarding animal abuse/neglect cases.

That'd make two of us.
Go back to school and become a High School English Teacher. Sounds lame but depending on your school district, High School Teachers are in fairly big demand and unless you plan to live in a very "urban" environment, you won't have to worry about getting shot. Also, the pay may vary based on school district and you are guaranteed a retirement in most states.
Someone suggest a better (feasible) career than EMS Dispatcher/supervisor.
Please.
Well, without knowing where in the Northeast you live, if there is enough local tech or medical business to support it, maybe get into techwriting? Figure out what they need and start practice writing months before you apply so you can generate some decent samples of your work. I'd recommend picking up a Microsoft Manual of Style and/or Chicago Manual of Style as a guide. Practice, practice, practice.
And whether you become a techwriter or not, try to pick up an additional language, preferably something applicable locally or to whatever career you hope to get into.
I, of course, have only one answer: Link

I'm surprised. I was certain you be advocating hydroponics "tomato" gardening.
Well, if you're going to go that route, Psionichamster, let me give you some advice that a wise man once gave to me: "Don't get high off your own supply."

Well, independent pharmaceutical representative / agricultural produce manager sounds pretty nice on the resume, now doesn't it?
If only I could legally do so...there would be no debate over "career" choice...I'd be a farmer. With coveralls, a tractor, and all!
Some good suggestions here.
DA: while I wouldn't mind working for UPS, physical labor/driving is NOT my cuppa tea. I've tried that, hated it even more than telling those drivers/physical laborers what to do. I appreciate the offer, though.
Perhaps I shall have to bite the bullet and start producing salable written material...that's worked for a lot of folks in the past, right?

My new bf works in nursery management and frequently jokes, "Until I entered this business, I had no idea how many young people were so passionate about growing tomatoes."

Apparently growing tomatoes is very similar to growing "pipeweed", which led to some very strange "ah, tomatoes, nudge-nudge, wink-wink" moments from strangers until I got a clue what they meant. And although I've tried pipeweed years ago with no real noticeable effect, I do find heirloom tomatoes irresistibly delicious, especially the black varieties (Carbon, Cherokee, Paul Robeson, etc.)
Two of my Irish Catholic friends got married and he wanted to grow some weed in the closet and she was like, okay fine, you can do this until the baby gets here.
So he and his brother-in-law went down to some garden equipment place with a list of supplies they needed derived from watching youtube videos. They found most of the stuff, but there was one item they couldn't find (I don't remember which at the moment) so they approached an employee. "Do you have any ______?" they asked. The employee looked at what they already had and said in a loud voice "Well, it looks like you boys are planning on growing some marijuana!"

Yes - the soil requirements are apparently identical.

That sounds about right. He said he likes messing with people and saying things like, "This fertilizer will be perfect for your weed... err... tomatoes," just to make it clear they are not fooling anybody.
Naturally, he happily takes their money. He just likes messing with people.
In unrelated news: do you think gargoyles bleed?
Yes, it does help to practice them. Also, your degree in English should come in handy because there is a writing portion.

Well, Isaac seems to have mostly harmless for SW FL. Some flooding from all the rain (and weeks of rains before) and still gusty, but overall got off pretty lucky. Sanibel/Captiva (and Fort Myers Beach) will likely be pretty soggy for a week and suffer some beach erosion, but it could have been much worse--Hurricane Charlie literally almost cut North Captiva in half.
Well that's good?
Jesus Christie I have been really away from the news this week. But I did pick some huckleberries, visit some family, and go camping with some friends.
My cousin, who previously failed to convince his brother to help him drive five plants up from California, is now holding down a stable seasonal job at a winery! He's moving up in intoxicant derivation sophistication. Or he's getting access to free fertiliser or something.
Oh, I forgot: she was allegedly Lawful Good.
No No No NG....No way in hell i could play a LN PC. Hmmmm maybe thats not a bad idea. The fall from grace is that much further.
The cells will do her good, and the community better. Of course, if she likes, there's always the axe instead. I'll do it myself if she'd prefer.
The Ruby Lady disapproves of such reckless misuse of magic, and I trust that similar deities watch over whatever world you hail from. And likely have a less twisted interpretation of Good and Order.
One day she will be free and what good is magic if you cant use it recklessly? Really magic has nothing to do with good or evil or whatever. We dont need no water let the motherf*%#er burn burn burn. Yes there are always people hurt by friendly fire but thats what people are for. Unless your being payed or feeling overly sensitive..

I think ill be rolling up a new character every game now! how do you like that hm? Until the day a new SkullCrusher comes into the world let the rest be meat for the beast

Your reckless disregard for the appropriate use of the gift of your magic and your callous consideration for the lives of your fellow men and women landed you where you are. Justice is served for now, but if ever your jailers make the mistake of allowing you free and you resume this trend of abhorrent misuse of your talents I shall feel no remorse in introducing you to the business end of my flails.
Take that, Hiawatha Huwelsta, or whatever your stupid name was!

Hmmm, that's funny, because Dok and Lodi were saying that they were just going to kill your next character as soon as they met him/her. Save them a bunch of time and grief, they said.
In between massive amounts of politrolling yesterday, me and The Black Goblin ran his new character, a 3rd-level cleric of Iomedae/2nd-level cavalier through some stuff. He's already dead.
R.I.P.
His new character is going to be a halfling gunslinger. His name?
I'm sure everything will be fine.
So the Magic Item rules are very biased against spontaneous casters. My DM is requiring, and rightfully so, that in order to make an item I have to have the pre-requisite spells involved. Now this isn't a big deal but I'm a sorcerer so I'm limited on the spells I know and I'm not going to take a spell like "Bull's Strength" when it will eventually be made obsolute due to Magic Items. Now according to the rules, if you have a magic item or someone else helping you make the item. It counts has meeting that pre-requisite. My DM is stating that it isn't the same thing, still ok, but again it makes it biased towards non-spontaneous casters. Anyways, I now see why some people say the Magic Item creation rules are broken. I also wish my Wizard hadn't bought the farm.

He won't let you make it from scrolls?
That's pretty lame, IMO.
Yeah it specifically says someone else can provide the spell or you can use a scroll.
Or, unless you're making a wand or potion, you can just take +5 to the DC to make it without the requisite spell.
Well, he wants to make it "difficult to make magic items" but I don't think he was intentially trying to make it more difficult for me. But he was trying to make it more difficult for Wizard like casters. He also stated that he feels that using an item for the spell component isn't the same as "knowing the spell". I'd argue that with him, but I'm also trying not to get on his bad side about this.
-_-
Yeah I'd be requesting to be able to trade that feat in, as it seems like this guy is one of those GMs who is pretty biased against the Magic Item Creation process and is going to make it difficult on principle rather than out of any intent to make it more enjoyable. Perhaps ironically, in attempting to weaken it for wizard-like casters he's weakened it for everyone... except wizards. And maybe clerics.
Well...he is pretty biased towards Wizards and has only played Wizards or Wizard-like characters in every game we've played. So maybe he is being biased against non-Wizards and I can call him on that.
Also, he read on these forums that it's probably a bad idea to let players have Item Creation feats for Kingmaker as it could potentially unbalance the game. -_-

Well, crafting in KM rapidly becomes: "everyone is decked out in max-level gear", since you can reasonably get infinite money, and time is not an issue.
That being said, its still kinda lame to not just ban the feats.,
I'd be all for a replacement feat.
More like Leadership and get a Wizard cohort who uses all of his feats on item creation....
Hah. If he allows it go for it, I wouldn't be surprised if he nixes it though.
I am doing well, but I have to run...
Can't talk, gotta go!
Never mind. Today's socialist activity has been cancelled.
More time to troll Paizo!
We're trying to start a group to do eviction and foreclosure blockades. I was going to go canvass all the foreclosed upon homes in Nashua, but the other dude (not chick, unfortunately) got called into work early.
I don't think I can do lunch this week. I'm busy and broke. :(
Vive le Galt!
