There was a huge Verizon outage on the same day that suspended service for tens of millions of Americans. I thought I was one of those, so I didn't call the company to report it. I became suspicious when I found out my neighbors all had service. Turns out it was a coincidence and a power outage had caused a power spike in my Verizon box. Fixed in about ten minutes once they arrived at the house.
What can I say but "Yikes?"
It was awful. I was forced to play "Pathfinder:Kingmaker" offline and talk to my family!
I really should get around to actually playing that instead of fiddling around with the character creation screen. It's just frustrating that there don't seem to be any complete guides or wikis out there.
That's true of most games out nowadays, come to think of it...You used to have full walkthroughs for games like Ocarina of Time or Baldur's Gate...now you have to piece together your gameplan from disparate articles and incomplete wikis connected together with red string like a conspiracy theorist's corkboard! And then the game's sequel comes out and you have to do it all AGAIN because the context of the game's endings has changed!

Let me give you some advice: Never sell any items that give you free Freedom of Movement. You'll really want that for the endgame. Also, give all your warriors Blindfight. You'll really want that for the endgame.
And communal resist energy and communal resist poison. They come in so handy!
My video card crapped out just before the turn based mod and a big update happened so I'm itching to fire it back up. Unfortunately, to get anything near a current gen video card, I'll need to upgrade my mobo and processor. I'm currently stashing away nickles!
I get a ton of mileage out of Tar Pit+Sirrocco. Aided, once I got 9th level spells, by Mass Icy Prison.
Good luck with the new rig, Perfire!

Thanks for the tips! Though, yeah, I'm familiar with that guide. It's incomplete at the moment...
It helped me tremendously. I just now finished the game, by the way. Those last fights were brutal!
Before my computer tanked I had gotten to the big undead cyclops tomb thing and was clipping along but I eventually ran out of spells and stuff. I had also been neglecting to buy rations, because, hunting and encumbrance. I had apparently ALSO been dinking around too long and hit a 'you lose' timer before I could go from my slave outside the tomb back to where I could buy rations. It was dumb, but I learned a bunch and v2.0 will run a lot smoother.
I'm going to be too busy to get a post in over the next few days. Hoping to be back to regular posting by Friday. Bot me if needed. Thanks.
Take your time, we'll be here!
Sorry about not being much of a driver in this game. Perfire isn't set up much to take the lead and he's a-scurred down here.
I've been waiting to show off what a smart piggy Triath is for a while! :D
Meloriel, tell us about your freelancing!
Update! One of the projects I contributed to now has a product page! Pathfinder Lost Omens: Legends. So exciting!
Oh, and another was announced today! I also contributed to Starship Operations Manual. (Exciting day today!).

Man! I'm impressed (and jealous)! Way to go Meloriel!
Fantastic, congrats!
Great job!
Side note, I'm abroad without my computer, so I'll be mostly AFK until next Tuesday. Bot me and my skill checks as needed!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!
Everyone else, happy Thursday!
Thanks! :D
I had a great time!
Gobble Gobble, y'all
I hope everyone (who celebrates) enjoyed their Thanksgiving!
Meloriel, tell us about your freelancing!
Aw, man! That is so cool! We get to say we knew you back when you didn't need an entourage!
I can say I fought beside a real life celebrity!
Entourage? Ha! Do my children count?

Woah, that's a nice one! Congratulations!
Sorry for the radio silence for the past few days. I've had an eight-day stretch at the hotel, and my brothers had some big events a few days ago so my time and my mental health have kind of been stretched a little thin...
Happy Holidays!
I've got family in town and won't be posting for the rest of December. The first week of January I should be back up and posting, but it might not be consistent until January 6. Feel free to bot or skip me, if needed.
All the best!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!
And we'll go at whatever speed seems good for the next two weeks, I think.

Merry Christmas!
God Bless Us, Every One!
Happy Yule to one and all, may our rolls be high (not the NPCs trying to kill us, though)!
Merry Crystalhue to all you Shelynites out there! ;)
Hi! Sorry for the delay. I’m back up and running now. Thanks for your patience, and I hope you had a happy holiday and new year.
Welcome back, Lilika! I know I did, but I'm glad things are...relatively back to normal! XD
Family emergency means I'm going to be AWOL a bit.
It's not AWOL if you inform us beforehand, which you just did. So it's cool! Hope everything goes okay.

Meloriel, tell us about your freelancing!
A product page just appeared for my next SFS scenario! Out this month. I can now acknowledge it exists! Haha.
Wooo, spooky!
Awesome! Congratulations, Meloriel!
Nice!
If I inadvertently started a "mercy dilemma drama" by suggesting we capture them and look for a bounty, I'm really sorry. :(
No worries. Lilika wants to kill them, but won't anymore since she was told not to. She's used to obeying.
As a player, I'm fine either way. No complaints from me for mercy.
When I play Paladin, like when I play with a Paladin, I revel in the drama.
Sure. If we were just clearing a dungeon, we could as easily play a boardgame. This may be a combat-heavy adventure, but that's all the more reason to lean into any role-playing we stumble across!
Besides, who doesn't want to see Wymond try to convince Lilika she's doing it wrong? No chance of mixed signals there!
Let's see if Wymond's bashful farmboy charm prevails! :P
Haha.
Side note: I rarely play characters like Lilika. It's a nice change of pace.
