Anyone know a good way way to translate a saying which translates directly as: "One's death, the other's bread?""One man's trash is another man's treasure."
Naked men treasuring trash!

Right now he's playing with his signing puppy. Keeps pressing the button until it sings the ABC's. Then he dances .
maybe he's a future dj?

I should do the same I have started and participated in more than one stupid thread.

Thanks - although the Swedish proverb I'm looking for an English equivalent of has a meaning that's more about someone gaining by another's calamity. "One man's death, another's bread," perhaps? (Unless someone can think of an actual proverb with the same thought behind it.)
Mrgh?

Maybe, 'It's an ill wind that blows nobody no good?' or 'One man's misfortune is another's opportunity?'

It's only going to get worse as the Fall approaches. You can see the mighty engines of the two political machines ratcheting up the rhetoric. My advice, just hit the hide button. Do not open the thread, do not bother to read. Just hide, hide, hide. I have gotten to the point where if I see certain posters I know to hide the thread, no matter how innocuous the title.
I find that once the thread is hidden, I no longer think about it. As long as I resist the temptation to peek, I am fine. I have gotten good at no peekies.

just ignore every non fawtl off-topic and especally every rules or optimisation threads, I do, and For me paizo boards are ahappy and peaceful place :-)
Well, that is your perception of it anyway.
yes :-) of course
If the forums offend, merely change your bookmark from Paizo to FaWtL. Problem solved.
No bookmark, I just have a tab always open to the OT forum =) It's me failing my will saves on the "new posts" window on the left that causes me misery.

Watched `Game of Thrones` Last night. Totally freaking awesome!!! Also Tyrion Lannister is freaking awesome!!!!

Orthos - as a cure for avoiding the endless bickering in the various threads yet staying connected. I suggest you resurrect this pbp.. I miss that campaign and would eagerly jump back in if you chose to bring it back.
Heh, I'd completely forgotten about it. Unfortunately I lack the time to devote to it at the moment, much the same reason it got abandoned in the first place >_<

If you are running an Adventure Path, those fora are generally quite helpful, civilized, and angst-free.

Yep, I have noted that on both STAP and Kingmaker. =D

Dang, I thought it was "Live Free or Die Hard".
I like chocolate milk.
I think play by posts are almost never heated. I have only seen it get heated once and someone was trying to get into a game after players were choosen and get rediculous stats.
So I kinda hit rock bottom as a collector today. I went through every DDM gallery and couldn`t find a mini I don`t already own in significant quantity. I also did the same at Dwarvenforge.com and there is only one small set (the chasm set) that I want and it is currently out of stock. So I am literally to the point where only outside terrain remains. And I could have most of that finished (through purchase) in 6 months. I will soon be at a point in my collection where I can only collect stuff as it comes out. Sad sad days :(
Also the husband finds this a relief for some reason, because he began to worry 1 bedroom wouldn`t be enough to contain my collection, and he totally didn`t understand why I would be upset about it.

Don`t get my wrong Callous Jack the paper minis are awesome! In fact I recommend them over the plastic minis to my friends who are just starting the game. But I`m a must be 3d guy. But I will still keep recommending them to all of my buddies who complain about minis prices and to new guys. It ought to help keep paper minis going. I just don`t know what I`ll do when my 3D collection is almost done. I will be so I don`t know the word........ bored I guess since I won`t be needing to collect stuff. I may start saving my money for a 3d printing commission. Because who wouldn`t want 3D mountainous terrain or desert terrain complete with dunes. Or under water terrain. etc. I`d just need to track down a willing company.
There are plenty of older minis that you could hunt down on e-bay.

Thanks for the recommendations, MM!
I think you should go with Sharoth's advice, time to start collecting RAFM, Grenadier and other old models!
Or switch to Legos. ;-)

I though about those old Ral Partha and lead minis. But I suck at painting and I want stuff I`ll use. Hence my dilemma.....

I invoke Rule 34 on that 34th post.

Or even worse, create a wuxia fauxloli.

Y'know, if you gave some away to, let's say a nice viking ship with too low an income to get its own minis, there might be some missing again. ;)
j/k

Good Morning FAWTLy Folk. Heading off to work now. See ya in ~40 min provided traffic isn't stupid.
