Yeah, I live in Kansas City, and my in-laws are in Fort Worth. The best thing about Oklahoma and into Texas? Coming back to Kansas. :D
Better than living in Missouri, used to live there. Work down here, and the weather is better. Plus I'm from Louisiana originally, so being in Texas is kind of like being back in Louisiana, but without the 280 days per year of rain.
It could be worse than that, I'm originally from Chicago. Talk about crappy weather, crappy traffic, lousy sports teams...About the only thing I miss is being able to go jogging along Lake Shore Drive, facing Lake Michigan. From my old apartment, I could go about 15 miles from the Soth Side to near the end of the beaches along that road. Along the way, I could see Soldier Field (now a giant toilet bowl, or an inverted UFO, depending on your view), The Field Museum, Grant Park, all those lovely beaches...mmm
Good lord, I need to get to a beach. Anyone know of a good place in Galveston where I can get an old fashioned and some beach shorts? ;P
These days I'm living in DC. The city has its good points and its bad points. (Lots of both.)
Ugh, DC. Traffic. Nasty.
I can't drive. One of the good things about DC, I don't need to.
I have a 30 minute commute door-to-door, from downtown DC to where I live in the suburbs. Assuming the subway does not break down.
My ex-wife and daughter were the same way; they lived in Gainsville up until a couple of years ago. Then the ex took a teaching gig in Qatar; they traded ease of transportation for 105 in the shade at 8am.
Remember, Androids do have to sleep to regain spells. Unless your race specifically says you don't sleep, you have to sleep to regain spells. If you don't sleep, you have to 'rest' which is basically sitting around doing nothing. If you don't have spells though (like Shi'Vatha) then no worries.
I am aware of this, but I have expended no spells today.
A rest period is fine by me.
I've always played by the concept that, if you haven't cast any spells in a given day, then you don't need to rest, just for the purpose of re-memorizing spells. You can rest for the sake of resting, but you don't have to reset your spells every single time.
Just makes sense to me; do you really want to read the same novel over and over every day, if you don't have to?
Just my 2 gp.
Nope, never had any GM require rest just to reset uncast spells (rules seem to say you don't have to either). Only time you have to rest (other than avoiding fatigue) is to reset spells. Now, if you wanted to pray for new spells or memorize new ones, I think you probably need to rest and be fresh...

This is how I always interpreted it.
If you have to pray(divine spellcasting), then you don't have to rest, you just get the horrible stipulation that if you cast any spell in the eight hours before your predesignated time(dawn, noon, etc) then they count against the number of spells of that level you can prepare. :(

I just want to give a shout to all of you guys. You're really rockin' the roleplay here. Keep up the great work :)
Posting this in all my games.
I'll be travelling this week, Monday through Wednesday, and I likely won't be able to post as much as I usually do. I should be back to normal posting by the end of the week.
Yeah that seems to be happening to me too.
Weird. I haven't seen it yet, but I'll keep an eye out for it.
Is it just dice rolls, or actual posting?
Posting in general, but thread specific. I've been able to post normally in other threads.
I am also not currently able to post in the gameplay thread. I am not having any problems in other threads.
Everything seems to be working again. For those who posted their Perception here, you can either let the roll stand, or re-roll it in the gameplay forum.
It seems to be doing it again, at least for me. When I tried to re-roll Perception, the Submit Post button acts like the Preview button and never actually makes the post.
It doesn't seem to be affecting any of my other PbP games or forum posts.
That's pretty weird. I haven't needed to roll anything in the last couple of days, but that seems pretty weird that only this thread would be so wonky.
I just tried it again, with the same result. Just for grins, I also tried with a different browser and got the same result.
Feel free to make the perception (and even initiaive) rolls for us, if you like, so you won't have to wait around for us all to make the rolls. That being said, if we continue to have trouble posting, the Discussion thread may need to become the new Gameplay thread. :P
Or we could contact a website administrator.
I didn't seem to have any trouble, so it's really weird.
Seems to be working for me again this morning.
I get to the airport at 4:30 Wednesday for my 6:30 flight.
United tries to get by cheap and puts just enough gas in the jet to make it to destination. They screw up, have to turn around once they make it to the strip, and then take 2.5 hours to fuel up again and take off.
The plane lands at 8:30 (this is the plane coming to where I am). They swear they will have us out of there in 10 minutes.
At 9:15 we take off. We land at 10:45. My connecting flight is at 10:55, and is in another terminal. I run to the train that connects terminals. I get to the gate at 10:58. They didn't hold my plane, it's against policy.
It takes me 45 minutes of arguing with them but they won't give me a hotel, because it was the weather, not them putting too little fuel or refusing ot hold my flight for 3 minutes. BS.
I get to the hotel about 1:30 (actually in the hotel room that is). I'm so afraid I'll sleep through the alarm at this point, that I can't sleep. So I spend 4 hours resting on the bed watching tv before going back to the airport for a 7:25 flight.
The 7:25 flight leaves the gate at 7:45. We take off at 8:30. I get to my airport at 9:20. It then takes me another hour to get my luggage (they got it on the plane that took off without me the night before!), and finally get my car and head off home. I run into traffic, and it's 11:30 by the time I actually get into my house.
I then promptly fall asleep in front of the computer trying to work after having had no sleep for 36 hours.
So yeah, sorry for not posting yesterday. I'll get posts up today sometime.
You have my utmost sympathy. Your day was definitely worse than mine. Get back on when you can.
*sigh* The problem with the forum is happening to me again. Feel free to roll initiative for me. Or I suppose I can roll it here, just not sure if I'll be able to post what she's going to do.
Updated, save for the two spells add to my spellbook.
Leveled up!
As I joined the game late am I still level 1?
I'll update character shortly.
As I joined the game late am I still level 1?
Nope, you can level up with the rest. We'll chalk it up to you having experiences before you met the party.
What's the HP rule for level-up? Max, Half, Roll?
Max.
Max per level, it's in the house rules, first discussion thread post.
Updated character completed.
Kewl beans. Corian is updated as well.
I want to give everyone about a weeks notice: Next week, my company is flying me to Nassau for our annual meeting. Theoretically, I'm supposed to have wi-fi access in my room (although I suspect that I'll have to pay for it), so I should be able to post. The problem is that, with our meetings being held at the pool, with the dolphins, and at some of the restaurants and lounges there, I'm not likely to have much time to open my tablet, let alone do any serious posting. So don't feel like I've abandoned the place if you don't hear from me. I'll be out from Tuesday through Sunday of next week (8/5-8/10)
My goal is to post once per day, but it will likely be either early in the morning or late afternoon, if that. Also, Tuesday and Sunday are travel days for me so don't expect to see anything on those days.
Posting this in all my games, both run and played in.
As you all know, I've been rather busy and traveling a lot lately. This is going to continue for awhile. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up the posts. It's now confirmed I'll be going on an overseas job for 6 weeks at the end of August, coming back early October. I will hopefully be able to continue posting, but wanted to give advance warning.
I'll be 11 or 12 hours off my normal schedule, as I'm going literally to the other side of the planet. :) First trip to this area, so I'm not sure what the internet will be like, or even if I can get to Paizo. So if, after I leave, I vanish for a month, please don't give up on me, it just means I couldn't connect due to country filters or something.
Thanks for letting us know. I'll keep that in mind as we keep going. BTW, where are you heading, anyway?
Kuwait
Ouch! well, you can at least wave hi to my daughter; she's in Doha for the next year or so. So you don't know if you'll have even satellite access or anything?
It's not that, I'm supposed to be in a decent hotel with internet. I just don't know how good that internet will be, or what site filters may be on it. I wouldn't think Paizo would be very controversial, but, the artwork in the books are somewhat risque at times and it may have made it onto a ban list at the government level.
Yea, that's a good point. Perhaps we can setup an alternate means of posting if that is the case.
I'll see what I can do, but until I'm there, I won't know.
