dual curse... fine
reason for taking it...Bad
I played Cards Against Humanity with my group tonight to break the ice with the new player. Which is why my mind is going to horrible, horrible places. I am a terrible person.
The black card was "(blank) + (blank) = (blank)"
I played "Picking up girls at the abortion clinic + My collection of hi-tech sex toys = Praying the gay away".
The table was in tears.
Answers to Ronnie's questions:
1. No, for the simple fact that I don't want to have to deal with the paperwork. (Besides I always got the impression that you had to play the module as is.)
2. As long as you declare before you roll, I'm cool with it.
2.a - Need to call it when you roll.
2.b - Yes, but only when using versatile performance.
2.c - Nope
2.d - No, if you use versatile performance, you are not using the skill. However, an item that affects the skill you are using will work.
2.e - Yes. I'll add it to the Campaign info tab at lunch today. Keep in mind that this takes the place of the versatile performance as written. (And renders about half my previous answers moot. I'll still say that the ACP does not apply if you have that performance.)
Never mind I mis-read the rule. With the rule in place, my answers are.
2.a - Rendered moot
2.b - Rendered moot
2.c - Yes, you're using the skill
2.d - Yes, since you are using the skill the item affects.
2.e - Still yes.
I'll also be making a modification to the rule, I just need to mull over the effects.
Cards is always good fun. That game is so terrible :)
1. I don't think you have to run it as-written - the S&S game I'm in has houserules including an extra trait, a bonus based on character background, and bonus feats, and the GM's still providing chronicles. It seems you can use as many houserules and as much extra content as you want, as long as you run a particular part of it... I think. But if you don't want to deal with the paperwork, that's cool. Just thought it was worth an ask.
2. Eeeeeeeexcellent. This means less 'planning out my skill ranks' and more 'stuff it, I'm going with what feels natural'. Which I like. :D
And yes, Cards Against Humanity is awful. It's terrible, it's offensive, and if you play it, you're going to hell. But oh man, it's so good.
So, because I had to wait up til an ungodly hour for my boyfriend, I decided to update the "opinions of other party members" tab in Horatio's profile. Notably, I added Ping and Asuriel. Noro's been given a higher word count, and Saroune and Pavanna have a couple more sentences each (and one for Olivius).
Hell, I don't know if anyone even cares, but hey, it's half past midnight and I needed something to do. :p
Made a change to house rule for Versatile Performance. You get a number of ranks equal to your bard level in the skills a versatile performance covers. So if a Bard 2 takes a versatile performance that includes diplomacy, they get 2 phantom ranks in that skill. At bard 3, they get 3 phantom ranks. You still get the class skill bonus. so without the CHA mod, that bard 2 would have a +5 to Diplomacy.
That said you only get the number of points you put in back. So if you only put one point in a skill that is then covered by one of your versatile performances, you only get the one point. If you put 5 points, you get those five points back.
Ranks gained from skill points and phantom ranks still don't stack.
@ Horatio: Glad to hear I've hit my mark on playing a gnome. I hope that I've made her likable enough.
Oh! I made the list! And yes, of course I'm beautiful! :D
Oh! I made the list! And yes, of course I'm beautiful! :D
He said I was pretty also, so don't get too big of a head...
Too late:
Ok let's review:
"Asuriel is beautiful, to be sure - certainly one of the more beautiful women he's seen."
"Noro’s a strong woman, and not too bad to look at"
Hmmm. Game. Set. Match.
Next?
Suddenly, Asuriel finds her self under a curse. Any time she thinks of herself as pretty, her hair turns lime-green and her nose turns into that of a wizened crone, complete with the hairy wart.
Wait-what!!? Does it have to be green! Speaking of green...
Oh. Don't worry, you have yours coming to you VERY SHORTLY my friend.
Want a hint? It's green and YELLOW and likes purty girls...
Oh? What's that? You want a sneak peak, do you? Ok.
Raseri, I'd like you to meat (heh) your new friend Krosk. You two are about to become fast friends I think.
Raseri's going to make what Noro did look like a love tap.
And don't worry I've got plans for you too.
with the Life Noro lived, she will take that as pretty.
Like the hair by the way...
betcha I can get Horatio to kiss Noro before kissing you....
BTW this is not a real bet...Noro would never act like that in game...
Hey, I'm not artists - that's the best I could do. If you can draw Krosk up before your party gets there, I'll use that one. But I have a feeling you'll get there before then.
Betcha I can get Horatio to kiss Noro before kissing you....
Unfortunately Asuriel would probably lose this bet. I'm pretty sure Noro would walk up and punch Horatio instead ;)
Aww, are you two fighting over me? It's okay, there's enough to go around! :D
And Salsa, I like Ping. I think Ping is fun and adorable. Gnomes are one of my favorite races.
And I approve of the bet. Bonus points if you can keep Spoony from clueing in. :p Even if it's not an IC bet and more of an OOC betting pool...
I'm SO glad that Spoony has the girls fighting over him and not Thirzin. Cause lots of booze does NOT make a dwarf prime candidate. Besides, we all know how creepy dwarven romance is from the extended version of Fellowship of the Ring.
I never saw the extended cut. I know, I know, I'm missing out. But I find it hard to spend four hours watching a movie, even if it's amazing.
And I SWEAR I didn't plan this. I mean, I'm not complaining, but seriously, it's hilarious.
Suuuuurrrrreee you didn't ;)
Well folks I've got a bit of bad news. Big project deadline is this sunday and we have a long way to go. I'm going to drop off the radar for the weekend so I can focus on that. Once that's done, I'll post again monday (May be tuesday for the ANZACs in the party.)
Things may slow down for a bit until the workload lightens up.
It's unplanned, but not at all unwelcome. ;-)
And that's fine. Life gets in the way. We'll be waiting... And I'll let the girls fight over me in the meantime!

Poppycock. We can still do some rp'ing!
And I'll let the girls fight over me in the meantime!
Hmmmm. Asuriel isn't fighting over anyone quite yet I'm afraid. H is going to have to have one helluva convincing discussion to make that happen.
The keyword is 'yet'. Soon Asuriel will realize just how dashing and handsome and desirable he is. ;-)
And then, Horatio will get the double slap.
I'm working up to the quadruple.
Hey buddy, there's five of the fairer sex here, who are you giving the cold shoulder to?
Fine, fine. The quadruple slap and a kick to the shins, then.
Oh, right, you haven't seen Ping mad yet.
hehehehe.
Let me guess - we wouldn't like her when she's angry?
Well. Y'all know how I had my wisdom teeth out a while ago? And how it was in preparation for braces?
I had them put on today. Turns out, it hurts like hell. So if anyone were to send me hot chocolate filled with Bailey's Irish Cream, that would be great. >.>
sorry all I have is bubble gum and caramel coated apples
...
...
...
*punches Noro* :P
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL*snicker-choke-cough-hack-gasp*
... are you laughing at Noro being cold and heartless, the punch, or the fact that I now have braces? >.>
The first two. Braces suck. :)
As I'm discovering first-hand. Sweet baby Jeebus, it hurts to chew, talk, or even just close my mouth. Putting the brackets on my molars was one of the most painful things I've ever gone through.
I think it's back on liquids for a while, then. I mean, I like tomato soup and bourbon, but one cannot live on such things.
Yikes, Ronnie, hope thinks get better
So, I preordered the Lego movie on Amazon about a month ago. Last night, I saw that it had appeared in my movie library.
This movie is awesome. If you haven't seen it, you need to.
Yeah, my stepdad-to-be has snuck me some of his morphine-based pain relief from his surgery, which is easing the pain enough that I can sleep at night. Been doing a lot of sitting around, moping and feeling sorry for myself. And I have a terrible lisp that I KNOW my players will make fun of, because they're jerks. I love them, but they're dicks, all of them.
Oh man, that was a weird movie. I'm still not entirely sure what I thought of it, but I THINK I liked it...

Whats so funny anout a lisp
Send in noro....
I greatly enjoyed the Lego movie. I've watched it about five times already with my boys. It cracks me up because I'm a 36 year old boy who plays with Lego's :)
I actually haven't seen that one yet. I need to do that.
I keep getting the bloody song stuck in my head :p
And hey, Noro can rock a lisp and still be badass. I can't. :p
Happy Memorial Day, everybody!
And I hope our Australian/Kiwi friends have a good day too. :)
Well, I get to go out for dinner tonight, so it might be a good day. Depends on whether my aching teeth will allow me to eat schnitzel :P
I keep getting the bloody song stuck in my head :p

been meaning to ask this, which can't you do, rock a lisp, or be a badass...I thought you guys from down under were all badasses.
Oh, being an Aussie, I'm badass by default. I come from a country where everything wants you dead, even the sun. But considering I've always been very well-spoken and enunciated clearly - a love of 19th-century poetry will do that, as will five years with the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy - a lisp kind of makes me sound goofy.
It'll be interesting to see how my next Kingmaker session goes. Mikmek the kobold might sound good with a lisp, but I doubt the beefy and bad-tempered Oleg Leveton will. Especially considering I portray him with a horribly stereotypical Russian accent...
I personally am prepping to play Noro as a PFS character. at a con in July.
wonder how that will go. may do away with the lisp for that

the two most important lessons I learned in the Navy.
1. never piss off an Aussie2. never try and out drink a Marine.
Nooooo, the lisping drunken bare-knuckle boxing barbarian is awesome! Without the lisp, Noro is just a drunken bare-knuckle boxing barbarian!... which is actually still pretty awesome.
Will be moving things along later tonight.
Apropos of the impending boar-hunt — and in the hope of lightening the mood for my fellow players, some of whom have been having some unpleasant experiences in the last few days — I bring you all your daily dose of LARGE HAM (with extra cheese). On one of my other forums, I’ve been following the ongoing adventures of THE TECHNO QUEEN!!! , Brockton Bay’s newest cape. (Warning: this fic is NSFW owing to occasional salty language and being hysterically funny, with occasional d’awww.)
Short version: this is a Worm fan-fic where Taylor Hebert’s reaction to Triggering was to go all Silver Age Comics zany-super-villain. How zany? Let’s put it this way: one of her ‘evil schemes’ was to zap the town with a ray that would turn every last piece of chocolate in Brockton Bay into broccoli. O.o
