Out of fear of not being able to finish the campaign before school lets out, one of the Rainbow asked if I would be okay if she took over DMing over the summer.
Yesssss they have an interested baby GM so they can keep playing past graduation without being weird and coming back to high school
Lucky.
My kids? "Hey! Since Deady quit, doesn't that mean there's room at the table for a new player?"
NobodysHome: No.
Impus Major: But what about <names two of the most annoying kids in his entire circle of friends>?
NobodysHome: Especially no.I just don't understand how you can already have 6 people at the table, be constantly bellyaching about how long turns take, and then ask whether you can add more people. Exactly HOW is that going to help!?!?!?
But yeah, I had 7 players in the kids' game, and none of them are willing to step up and GM with the exception of Impus Minor. But after 3 abortive attempts, I just don't think he has the patience to actually do it, and he certainly doesn't want to do it for the current group.
That's the problem with big groups: They're too unwieldy for good roleplaying with the NPCs, so unless they interact with each other there's virtually no roleplay at all (that's our table), combats take forever, and everyone sits there thinking that it's a mediocre, tolerable game.
But no one's willing to leave.
So we have enough people to have two really fun groups. Instead we have one overcrowded group. Feh.
The main thing Infound when running for overly large groups is a huge dose of flexibility, “self-social” culture (where they interact with each other), and “well-prepared” actions. I needed to have the gist of how much everything was in my head, so I could run things smoothly, and I had to be willing to “fudge a bit” on creature hit points, AC, track bonuses, and the the like, in order to make encounters smooth without referencing stat blocks - it helped that I’d memorized half the monster manual. On the player end, everyone needed to be able and willing to discuss the current events while my focus was elsewhere, and needed to be able to plan their actions - again with a good dose of flexibility - in advance. Strategy and tactics were extremely important, but for the sake of speed, many such decisions became much more generic; “okay: I’m going to use magic missile on this guy or this guy when it’s my turn; they’re dead? Okay, magic missile this guy.” Rather than, “If we can coordinate to take down the leader, it’s important that I use magic missile first, so hold your action until...” because the former allowed us to play, and the latter forced us to r do the conversation every time.
I also tended to use a lot fewer, but bigger and more dangerous combats - especially compared to how APs structure the whole, “combat every few rooms” - so people often knew that when combat was here, it was a big deal, as it was a story encounter just as much as the other stuff, usually with more than one villain or “leader” dude (either because one was the Leader and one was the “Dragon” (ala tv tropes), or because the Leader has a body double, or because the leadership was parceled into specific roles, or because one was the “leader” while its “second” (nearly-as capable) did most of the work most of the time.
The major differences, of course, being that I was a young married guy with no kids, was not following an AP, and was playing the vastly simpler and more internally-consistent 3.5 system, instead of PF’s clunkier interface (which leaves you with plenty of awesome character options, but also causes more difficulty in decision-making, and slows down gamelplay).
Right, moving on...

In more seriousness: I am extremely empathetic with your bad experience, Rosita. Having been all over the world in various airports, I’ve been no stranger to some truly horrific ones. I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure of LAX, but it doesn’t sound too far away from experiences I’ve had over the years (though the “no cellphone/WiFi” thing - when LE entirely understandable and relatable at this stage in life - made me grin, thinking of my experiences befor such devices were available; totally a reasonable complaint, just humorous to me in light of older experiences); sorry you had to go through that.
Its nekkid t-lion...
I’m not nekkid! I said, “dressed” up there, and I’ve got a pair of pants! LOOK AT MY PANTS, VIDMASTER 7!!! LOOOK AAAAT MYYYY PAAAANNNNNTSSS!!!
... see, they’re right here on my arm!
Miami International is hands-down my least favorite. And I've been stranded there overnight more than once. JFK I like. Rome Airport, I saw a carabinieri playing a game with a three-year-old, using the red dot from the laser sight on his weapon in the way you would play with a cat. The child loved it. It was creepy.NOPENOPENOPE I may have a probably-unwise fondness for playing with knives and axes and similar implements, but that's about 3 bridges too far. Playing with blades gives me the occasional minor laceration. Playing with guns kills people. Seriously, how do so many trained firearms professionals not grasp the "Don't point a g**$+#n gun at things you aren't ready and willing to put a bullet into" principle? Not to mention that specific "game" most certainly is creepy.
What Rosita said. That is a healing scoop of NOPE.
Also, Rosita, one reason you might end up with more lacerations from plasticware instead of more traditional cutlery, is your skin is either soft or weakened to minor lacerations, or you have a high manual strength compared to its resistance, and the balance and weight of plastic utensils is all wrong, plus it’s flexy and bendy in all the wrong ways, so your more likely to result in weird movements, generating a clash of Well-trained muscle memory and realty - hence the cutting that also yields problems. The solution, of course, is to play with more knives! (Specifically the lousy plastic ones.)
(This is not really recommended.)

The sheer chutzpah of my family knows no bounds. <snip>Sweet unmerciful Tharizdun. What in the everloving hells. Are your parents related to Ayn Rand?
You know, Ayn Rand was my go-to thought as well?
That said, my mother-in-law’s brother and his wife became increasingly that way, but also refused to share food (this was during a period where they were they were getting an ever-more-restricted diet - not by doctor’s order, but by their own desire), until they realized, “that’s a terrible thing to do.” and so (in backlash) started to insist on paying various bills for family. My father- and mother-in-law also started paying various bills, and it eventually devolved into a, “bit the bill you paid was seventeen cents more than this one, so I pay you a dime and nickle two pennies...” fever-pitch, and then... sometime in the last few years, there was some sort of argument. We don’t know the details, but this: now they either alternate every time on who pays the food bill or get split checks.
All this, and it’s totally worth noting that the relationship never soured. That’s probably because the period of “charge for things” was very brief (and before my time) and the “worst” and longest period was arguing over who was allowed to be more generous to whom. (There are still arguments about this on occasion, as people forget who got the last bill, and there is occasional jockeying to snatch a bill before the other gets it.) We still have trouble with our family getting us and our kids too much stuff. It makes it impossible to clean the house with so much stuff, but it’s really nice stuff and I don’t want to say “no” to it because it’s a really thoughtful gift and I really do like/want it...
I, uh, started this to say that sometimes people can get into weird thought patterns, but, man, I lucked out wi h extended family.

It's one of my loremaster quirks. I pickup odd bits of information. Besides in a certain way I share some similarities with mob bosses.
I keep my connections with my vendors amicable and friendly so I can get what I want out of them(and sometimes at discounted rates), and both sides do business happily. Even if I am generally not a people person.
I willingly share food recommendations with others, so that they'll share them with me in return. As I said earlier, you scratch my back, I scratch yours.
Did I tell you I started a Milo Van lookout group in the university? I had eyes all over the campus looking out for the Milo van distributing free milo. The requisites for the group was simple. All you needed to do is to inform the other groupies by txt if you see the milo van around where you are on campus, and where you are. Then we'd form a small mob and jump the milo van for free milo =)
This is actually just good sense no matter who you are - even if you’re a miserable cuss who hates humans, it’s actively in your best interests to be nice to the the people you get stuff from. Doing otherwise is just... unwise.
Lol. Actually assaulting a mime would be to assault a human being. So that wouldn't be allowed by the law. Eating bear...well I suppose it depends on which part of the world you are. Singapore, it wouldn't fly. Other countries...depending on which one, possibly no one cares.

“This will be the first PBP I run on these boards and I prefer to have a game with fewer players as I find it can make for a richer storytelling experience in PBP style games. I will be selecting only 2 recruits, and the character creation rules will generous to support fewer players. I am looking for long-term, active posters that can tell a rich story.”
Posting requirements:1-2 posts Monday-Thurs, 1 on weekends, more is better.
Comments from me: For someone with less then a 100 posts under his belt, and no PBP experience at all, are YOU sure you can commit to that kind of posting requirements. Do you even KNOW what is required to run a PBP on the board, having no prior experience on PBP gaming on other aliases as well? Lesser players – fine – Too many players can cause a system overload, I can understand that.
And if you want to really move fast – you should vet for compatible timezones, like I did. I told European players – sorry your timezone and mine is not compatible. I don’t expect people posting in the middle of the night, and neither, as a GM would I do so myself (unless I happen to be up late due to other reasons). Or you waste time waiting for the other player to wake up and post.
“To me, an excellent backstory shows a number of things. It goes a long way to showing writing skills, and investment in character. It shows how well versed a person is in the shared lore of the world (Golarion in this case.) When it is also written in the spirit of the upcoming campaign (eg. taking cues from the Players Guide), it further shows an interest in contributing to the shared story.”
Comments from me: Sure – what you’re trying to say is just a check on how much money the player in question has spent on paizo buying splat books. Biased towards rich people, aren't we? What shared story? If you get people pushing the plot, you get story. If you get inactive/argumentative fks, forget about it.
Yes, I...
Harsh!
To mellow the cynicism, somewhat, pathfinderwiki.com is rather comprehensive, free, and (when combined with the Archives of Nethys and d20pfsrd.com) means that access to everything is pretty much free. While it does require the free time to pursue, in fairness, so does the hobby that we play.
That said, it’s fair to question whether a posting noob has the staying power - but you might want to mellow the manner in which you question those things: not only for the sake of others (as it’s doubtful said poster will see this), but also for yourself (as you’ll be a lot happier in life finding ways to take a less embittering take on things). Not that Inspeak from experience, or anything... >.> *cough*

TL - I disagree with you on that - pathfinder wiki tends to be all over the place and you really need a map of Golarion to scan the nearby towns, then even so, many towns are just described bare minimum. You need to buy the AP for the full description.
They say nothing about Natharen Safander or Old Mother Theodora. Yet should you have bought Snows of Summer book and read it, you would know that Natharen Safander is the elderly priest of Erastil who's wife worships Sarenrae and Old Mother Theodora is a Varisan fortune teller who is the owner of the magic shop in Heldren. You'd also find out about the town blacksmith, Isker, as well as the town alchemist Tesserra who lost her husband to an ice troll attack. And the place practices an agrarian economy. So pathfinder wiki does not give everything and can be really skimpy on that regard.

So, I don't know whether this is forbidden politics or advertising or whatnot, but while Freehold is distracted at work, I've got to marvel at the difference between Anthem Blue Cross and pretty much every other health insurance company we've dealt with. It's as if their executives understand how much money they lose having their agents deal with disputed claims.
Every other health care company:
Claim denied.
Oh, you've filed a dispute? Well, we'll see about that...
...well, you're right. I guess we have to pay you. And you've done all your legwork so we have to pay you the 80% we guarantee for out-of-network. Curse you, paperwork man!
Anthem Blue Cross:
Worker: Well, a claim came in, and it looks legit. What should we do?
Manager: Just pay them 60%. They'll be ecstatic and we'll save money. Tell them the rate is higher than we allow so we'll only pay 80% of 75% of the cost.
Worker: Will do, boss!
The result is that Blue Cross is saving employee time, saving payout money, and making me a happier customer, even though they're giving me less money. There's value in less stress and my own personal time.
That's some pretty impressive song-and-dancing...

While you’re free to disagree (nothing wrong with that) the nature of the source of your counter argument doesn’t really hold weight in the context I’m using.
Effectively, I’m suggesting that you have everything you could possibly need to be “well-versed” in Golarion lore (the only stated requirements in the part you posted), and your response is the equivalent of, “No way; there’s a picture that only exists in that one book!”
While it’s certainly true that you don’t have access to fine minutiae, being “well versed” by any reasonable metric doesn’t include the level of detail you’re suggesting.
I have no idea who my neighbor’s grandmother is. Heck, I don’t know what hf the names of the streets I use on a daily basis are, in real life. I’m still “well versed” in Ocala lore and culture, moreso than many others - I am, in fact, a local. Others could be more “well versed” than I, easily, but if I spun a fictional character out of Ocala, few would call it a poor creation due to minutiae.
Pathfinderwiki is a breathtakingly thorough free resource by any metric - using it has netted me far more information about the areas of Golarion I’ve run games for than the APs set in those areas in a manner less difficult to navigate or handle. I know more about what makes Varisia tick and how to run Rise, for example, due to the Pathfinderwiki.com, than Indo from the AP itself. Repeat this for Cheliax and Council of Thieves, and Ustalov and Carrion Crown. Fine details about specific settlements might be lacking... but then again, there are cross referenced fine details about other settlements that aren’t available in any two sources.
Perhaps the GM does, in fact, require you to own everything. But being “well versed” doesn’t mean know everything. Otherwise, nobody would be well-versed in anything!

And speaking of teachers who go above and beyond the call of duty in their attempts to give all teachers a bad name (we were, weren't we?):
Impus Major is not good at math, so I work with him. His math teacher knows this. In fact, he knows that:
(a) I work with Impus Major extensively on his math homework
(b) I have a Ph.D. in Mathematics
(c) Impus Major has gotten a straight-up A in math all this year.So he implemented a new rule: If you don't check your answers in the back of the book, and show that you checked them by putting a check mark in ink next to every problem, then you lose 25% of your homework score.
Considering I helped pay for grad school by writing solutions manuals and error-checking the solutions in the backs of books, I dare say I am far more qualified than the back of the book to determine whether an answer is correct.
Color me livid.
Like, I don't even know what the teacher actually thinks he's doing.
Why does the teacher require this?
What possible purpose could it serve?
Saves him exactly zero work, and will functionally push most of his kids into lying to save on time.

Oh, on Monday night's homework I had fun.
- "This solution in the back of the book is incorrect."- "This solution is incomplete."
- "This format is unacceptable for the way the problem was stated."
If he's going to make me look at the solutions, I'm going to let him know just how bad they are. And trust me, those solutions in the back of the book? They were written by an 22-24-year-old trying to make a couple of extra grand to make rent for the summer. Quality control is not in their top 10 list of priorities.
(It was yet another job where I took it seriously, did the work I was asked to do, and had the publishers saying, "Our double-checker says the stuff you're sending in is the best they've ever seen! What are you doing?"
"Er... taking my job seriously."

I am weird when I am sick.
Most days, I am of the "The flu? Bah! NOTHING stops Freehold!" frame of mind.
When I get sick, this becomes "Please take care of me!"
I croak out my requests for hugs and cuddles, and I have been known to be...amorous...when very ill. I also become ravenously hungry, to the point I will eat anything, even okra and grits. If I am not demanding love, food, or both, I am probably asleep, having incredibly vivid dreams of food, love or both.
I get highly self-recriminatory.
Like, all my flaws come into crystal-sharp focus, and I become extremely frustrated with my seeming inability to do things, and I'll begin apologizing for all sorts of things and crying about how awful I am and nonsense like that.
It's been pointed out by my wife enough times that this is a sure-fire sign that I'm sick or have a fever that I've started trying to "fight" being sick by explicitly avoiding saying that I've done anything wrong, and instead fall into a grumpy-puss state where I'm just mad at myself, but won't say anything, because I don't want to admit that I'm sick. It's all very meta and weird.
... also, I get very amorous and want touches (unless I'm the burning/super-sweaty thing, in which case not-so-much). So I hear you, Freehold.

Pathfinderwiki is a breathtakingly thorough free resource by any metric -...
Very often newer APs like ruins of azlant start in places that there is little or no description like Heldren above. The GM in question asking for a rich background with lore speckled was recruiting for a ruins of azlant game.
So your GM asks you to create a PC from Heldren. The description on the wiki states, "The peasant village of Heldren is found in southern Taldor lying close to the Border Wood"
How helpful is that description? Maybe from the town stats you may decide to roll a human, saying humans are majority, but other then that, pathfinder wiki is no help...

Actually I did tell people before you get what you get from the AP, I do not reference other sources as I don't own them as I has limited budget. Any other details lacking I'll apply imagination liberally.
A lot of Lovecraft's works work under the fridge horror trope. Many times, it's not what he put in the story, but what he intended you to realize on your own that was the true terror.
Given one of his main themes is that seeking knowledge isn't necessarily a good thing and science won't necessarily make the world better, that type of horror fit his works rather well.

And, good news on the work front!
They finally figured out the final procedure I had wrong. I was delivering the mail in the order they told me to deliver it, rather than the completely opposite order they wanted. Because, apparently, I'm a telepath rather than a pyromaniacal necrokinetic.
Some other sucker gets to do that position and f%^^ it up now.
