ake, take it easy, and don't push the injuries. do what the Physioterrorists say to do, and don't push it to hard. :)
I thought I knew better in my 20's but after 20 years of abuse, my body says no more. :)
Having a forearm which is mostly steel and titanium, I don't really dig the bitter part of winter. Imagine leaning against a metal pole in winter.....on the inside of your arm. Not fun.
Snowmobile accident 16 years ago
Today's alchemical mishap brought to you by people who I play PFS with!
I know Concentrated Nitric turns the fingers Yellow, what turns them pink ?? :)
Psh - I'm not limiting myself to stuff that I know could actually happen. That's boring. Also I wasn't that good at Chemistry.
hmmm what's the worst that can happen. More injuries have occurred following those words. :)

I almost killed the entire chemistry lab once when I ended up with vaporous nitric acid billowing through the lab stemming from my workstation. The look on the teacher's face just before he evacuated is one I'll never forget.
ooohh what were you mixing nitric acid with ?
The nitric acid was actually the accidental by-product.
LOL those are the fun results. . . the unexpected ones. :)
Yeah
So what were you synthesizing ?
I had so much fun in Chemistry. Except for the math. Sooooo much math.
As I like to say.
Math, the science of numbers.
Physics, Fun with numbers.
AstroPhysics, Fun with Big numbers.
Chemistry, Making those numbers mean something. :)
Took Chem as a retraining program, the only beast was atmospheric chemistry.
Calculate the amount of this gas in ppm(v) at this altitude.

LOL I like that song. :)
There is never such a thing as too much math! :p
When Sacred Geometry came out, I spent a lot of time figuring out how frequently and fast I could generate the numbers before realizing that I hadn't looked at what the benefit of the feat was.
Oh don't get me wrong, I have a deep and abiding respect for mathematics. It is the language of the divine, the truth of the universe. Pi is the name of god.
That doesn't mean it doesn't drive me bat $h!t crazy when I'm faced with a complex equation, or worse, mathematics that are completely beyond my comprehension.
Apologize about missing yesterday. Called to work early, crazy busy entire day, made it home and did like two things the n fell asleep.
And today was just as busy but not called in early. Final rush at my work before the 'slow season' kicks in. Then it'll be really slow for like 3 months.
It's OK love, just glad you didn't bail on us.

Hmm, I see the RNG has it out for Orin.
None of us are particularly observant. . .must need more coffee.
Just a heads up to you all that life has gotten really crazy over the last few days and it's taking a toll on my ability to focus much on the games. I'm still checking in, and still moving things along, but you might find that I'm less inclined to follow the rules too closely right now. I hope this doesn't spoil the fun for anyone, but I just don't have it in me to worry about mechanics right now.

No worries, if it is family, that comes first.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Absolutely, do what you need to, post when you have time. More than that, no on has a right to ask.

Yay, LARP! What sort of Larp do you do, Ravel?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
We are here for the fun, not the mechanics, do the things that need to be done.
Exploding the bad ju-ju with fire sounds kinda marvelous.
Marvelous inbound.
edit: Also of preview of mt future talents!
:D
No worries.
So, sorry for yesterday, I was planning to write in the evening but got quite busy and totaly forgot.
Darn you Ake, I thought you were going to mention something truly marvelous!

to all, I know my thoughts sometimes will get warned as meta, but I assure you all, I do not, nor am I a subscriber of the AP's. (Cannot afford it, been unemployed since 2011 due to injury)
I will say, I tend to get ideas, and have asked GM Twilight to warn me if they get close to meta, even though I have no idea what is going on.
On another note, I will not be able to post tomorrow, as I will be attending rememberance day, to remember my 13 friends, and 35 drinking buddies that did not return from Cda's commitment to afganastan.
The problem is, even if you do have the AP (and again, it's fine if you do) you have to remember that certain things that might seem obvious to a player would not be to a character. You, the player, know that this is a game in which you will likely be lead through a series of clues, lead to a series of locations, let through a series of traps, made to fight against a plethora of smaller guys, and then finally face off with the 'boss'. Your character doesn't know that. So, yeah, you the player are following along what may or may not be obvious plot stubs with all of that player experience but sometimes you're letting that player experience dictate how your character thinks and acts. That's still metagaming. Think of it this way, I know what happens when you combine vinegar and baking soda (as most people do in our world) but I can't as a DM or a Player give that knowledge and experience to my NPC/PC if they wouldn't have had any real reason to know this in their world. Just because you have a reason to suspect something might be the case while playing this game, even without having any familiarity with the AP, does not mean Terrance would have a reason to suspect the same thing.

Understood, and I will try to prevent that.
Mental note, no cesium and water. :)
Funnily enough, I've had a number of chances to review the game in intense scrutiny (friend has AP), but I never really touched it beyond a quick once over of the first and last modules, and even then, most just glancing at the monsters in the back. That was quite some time ago, so yeah.
Still, I also try to mitigate my own metagaming as much as possible anyway.
Browser issue fixed. Kinda. For now at least. I'll mark the map and reupload it for you folks later today. I'm going to take a Benadryl to see if I can vanquish this sneezing fest I've been having since yesterday and take a nap.

I'm trying really hard not to, I just spent most the day in a Benadryl coma. Every time I tried to get up and moving around again I stumbled around like a drunk person until I gave in and collapsed back on the couch again. I still feel groggy, but my sneezing has stopped and my sinuses don't feel as full. My ears still feel like there is fluid in them though, so yeah, that's lovely. This had better just be an allergies issue I swear. I cannot get sick right now, and if I do, heads will roll :D

Ah, the Benatrips... Not a good feeling, that's for certain.
And I'll prep and oil the guillotines for ya, just in case, Twilight.

Ake is most grateful her player choose Dex as his dump stat, not Con.
My aim is not good enough for little things yet, so...um, er...get unzombiefied and better!
I'm better with groups, so if you need several heads burned, I'm your girl!
Sorry, passed out exhausted after doing laundry.
scratches head in confusion. I don't see the problem. :)
It's all good :) You still posted in a timely manner.
That's probably about it for me for the night. I had my pupils dilated today at the doctors office and can only just now bear to look at the computer. I've got a headache from all the extra light getting in today so as soon as my kid goes to sleep I'm going to take a hot shower and crashout.
no worries, this can wait a day or two.
Look out after yourself first.
also, could you put the map on the campaign page when you can, saves us looking ?
Sorry guys, between a sudden job interview and prepping for a con, my week got shot. I'm going to try to get a post up in between slots tomorrow.
