Tales from the City of Opal

Game Master Patrick Curtin

DOT!
Or just checking in on you Pat. :)

Hope all is well, and see you soon.

I'm busy in the final weekend of Addams Family the musical.

I need to figure out how to share a few pics. We're having fun and doing a good job if the opening weekend crowds were any indication. :)

Have a good weekend all! See you soon,

~Rags

Dot-Dot!
:)

No posts?
Sad wizard is sad. :(

Hope all are well! And hope to see you soon!
(NO PRESSURE! Just hoping!) ;P

I think he said this would be the bad month, so well see how he's making out in September.

Yeah I seem to remember that too.

Like I said, NO PRESSURE!
:)

Mostly just checking in, DOT-ing, and making sure all are ok.

I mean, my kids just started back to school, and the college starts back on Monday, so,... you know,... craziness continues apace.

:)

See you later, (OR sooner, whichever works) ;P

Hello all!

September looms, and with it, my desire to play. I am going to be bringing back my games.

Besides a strange month, I was floored by an unexpected surgery this August. Hernias suck, just to let you know.

I also visited my ancestral spawning grounds in the wilds of Nova Scotia, where I sat upon the beach, ate well and drank mightily.

But now, I am back! Refreshed, sewn up in more or less whole fashion, and ready to get back to the gaming. Stay tuned!!

It's been unusually hot this August, I hope you had a good time, definitely good beach weather.

I did. Your province is very beautiful, especially around the Cabot Trail and Ingonish where I was lucky to be. I got to meet a few more family members too. It seems like I am related to about half the people up there.

Lol, sounds nice Pat. I'm glad you had a good time. I've never made it to that part of the globe. I'm officially jealous. ;P

I highly recommend it should you ever decide you need a beach holiday. Just go in August, otherwise you might get non-beach weather. They had snow until June!

Plus I know you are from Louisiana, I don't know if you have Acadian ancestry, but there's a lot of cultural Acadian stuff up there. Including Louisburg, a fully-restored French fortress/town that does the whole recreation thing with period meals and costumes. My ancestors fought in the battles over it back in the 18th century.

That sounds very cool.

I'm actually from Oklahoma originally, (And a couple of other states that didn't want me either) But my Wife is born N bred in Naw'lins. :)

She's not Acadian either, her grandparents both came over from Italy to get away from Mussolini. ;P

Still sounds very cool. I would enjoy that sort of thing. My wife probably would, my kids,... sadly, they either would love it or hate it. And it might just depend in what mood they woke up in that morning.

My daughter just had her 16th bday today, and I still can't figure her out. ;P

Cape Breton is beautiful, the trail is best to drive in the fall, but Nova Scotia in general usually has a very nice mild summer so as long as you're not visiting in the winter or early spring you won't see any snow. Last winter was the worst I can remember, and even then we didn't see any serious snow till January, and the worst of it didn't come till February.

Oh man that sounds lovely. After dealing with Lousy-anna for the past 20 years that sounds great.

Here we only have 2 seasons.
Hotter than H@!!, and not-quite-so-d@#ded hot. :/

(It's only funny because it's true) ;)

Finally got to post!
Sorry it took me so long, had to re-read how his powers worked.
I have all these grand plans on what he should be able to do, but haven't actually gotten to use them yet! ;P

Edit- Animate weapon lasts for 1 rnd/lvl, so this is round 1 of 5 for this usage.

Ooo, NICE one Citali/Mark! :)

I confess I have read diddley squat about the Oracles yet. I did not know they had powers like that. Now I have to go read about them! :P

It's pretty cool, would be even worse if I had the blindness curse, but yeah Oracles have some freaky goodness in there.

One of my favorite characters from my Pathfinder Society run was a character named Fibula Bone, she was a blind oracle, who really played up the blindness despite the fact that technically she could see out to 60ft by the time I finished with her.

"Arrows! My one weakness!"

I never picked up the ability to share my curse but it was one I was considering.

Just checking in. :)

Yes the Oracles sound like they have some cool stuff.

But I must confess, My curiosity is peaked about the New Occult Adventures classes. I am waiting until they get the classes listed in the online resources so I can check them out. (You know, before I spend MORE money I don't have on another book) :)

Good news, you can check it out for free over at the PRD

And THAT'S what I was waiting for! :D

Catching up, missed some fine points of the conversations,...

Hello all!

September looms, and with it, my desire to play. I am going to be bringing back my games.

Besides a strange month, I was floored by an unexpected surgery this August. Hernias suck, just to let you know.

Yes, yes they do! That was my second (and hopefully LAST) surgery.

At least you got to have a great recuperation/vacation! Beats sitting on the couch! :)

It's pretty cool, would be even worse if I had the blindness curse, but yeah Oracles have some freaky goodness in there.

I haven't read much yet, but the Oracles have,... potential,... :)

Fortunately for us the Deafness curse is perfect to use against a caster! Gives an automatic 20% (?I think?) chance of spell failure. :)

Yup!

Hi everyone

Just an update: my house is going through the sale process right now.

Bad news: along with that and the job most of my free time is spoken for
Good news: Once it is finished, a large time eating segment of my life will be over

Please bear with and I will be posting as I can. Thanks

Good luck, I think the only thing I might hate more than house shopping might be house selling. :P

Just a guess, only bought one house, and have no intentions of selling anytime soon. :/

Good luck! :)

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

Just FYI
STarting another week long rental for a show (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang)
So I will pretty much be unavailable this week. ;P

I should be able to check in once a say, but my posts will be short and tired. :)

See you on the other side of the week!

~Rags

*sigh*

Just after I posted last my computer got horribly bunged up. I had to summon the fearsome command prompt daemon box to try and fix it*

*Note: IANAITguy

Good news: I fixed it!

I am finding a bit more time, so I am working on things. Hang in there folks!

YAY! :)

Just have to get through this weekend of big shows. (Children's production of Chitty Chitty bang Bang) and then I'll be back to the USUAL busy-ness.

See you all soon!

Hey all,

Going to take the family on a surprise Vacate this week, (got a gift of a weeks stay in a condo, and enough $$ scraped together to spend a few days in Universal)

I hope to see you all when I get back!

Happy Thanksgiving in advance!

Have a good trip Rags

Thanks, I did!
:)

We all did actually.
I'm BROKE, but the trip was good! :/

Glad to hear the vacay was good Rags

I'm trying to win time for this game. I know I keep saying that but I do mean it. I hope to get things together soon.

Hey where's theres a will theres a way.

My home- duo PACG has been on hold for a month now. We both too busy to get together for a game. But we not giving up. Our first run at the first adventure deck ended in Villain making fools of us.

Ripnugget and Stickfoot must pay!

Erm, I mean, No worries. I'm just glad your ok. :)
RL MUST PAY!

:D

It's hard sometimes. 2015 has been a year of challenges. In fact I really haven't had an 'easy' year in quite some time. I do want to salvage this game. It is my homebrew and you guys are on the cusp of exploring a very interesting piece of it I have only sketched out in very minor detail. I'm excited to have you venture out into the Blackwraith Desert.

Pat you do have a talent for understatement. :P

"Challenges" indeed. ;)

Ooo, sounds interesting. A chance to explore something even the DM doesn't have all the details too yet? Now THAT's exploring! :)

LOL! If we're heading towards a desert, I'll have to start stocking up on witty quips and complaints about a certain characters poor abused skin!

:D

Grrr,...

SPeaking of 'Challenges',... :/

I hate being poor.

RL MUST PAY!

It's quiet. TOO quiet,... ;)

Just checking in, been busy (Still am) with work, but my Christmas break is ALMOST here!

Hang in there Monkey!
(Hm, reading that, it sounds a bit redundant. Or at least obvious.) ;)

Yeah,... I'm tired. My jokes are WAY off. :/

Ugh. Another "interesting" week. Today I have off. I am sitting down today and reconstructing this game.

Hmmm,...
'Interesting' being the word we are using in place of;

'This week sucked. But not badly enough to actually CALL it sucky, but badly enough that it cannot in good conscience be called good.'

THAT kind of 'Interesting' ? :)

OR, 'Interesting' in the definition of;
'This week was SO bad and filled with so many stupid persons that if I actually dwelled on the stupidity that I had to deal with this week, my head would implode, causing a tiny black hole to form and suck all of the stupid persons I had to deal with through a sphincter-sized wormhole to the other side of the universe, where they can then inflict their ignorance upon another poor, unsuspecting alien species. Far removed from me.'

(Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part. I deal with a lot of people who keep telling me, with the best of intentions, how to do my job, when they don't have a clue what I even do.) ;P

Hang in there Pat. :)

And Merry Christmas, in advance! I know a few persons, including you, who definitely deserve it! :)

Lol. More the second definition sadly.

Merry Christmas Rags. Despite the bad year I am still above ground, still relatively healthy (knock on wood golem) and I have somewhere to live. Everything else is window dressing.

Sadly, I still didn't sit down like I wanted to get things going. Something always seems to intrude. Once I am done with my evening chores I will attempt again. Monkey out

Good points my friend. I tend to keep forgetting that all of the important things are covered. And all else is bonus. ;)

Something ALWAYS intrudes! (Dumb somethings. I'd like to give them a piece of my mind. If I had any left.) :/

Hang in there Monkey man! Peace!

I'm hanging! I also started to get my notes together. I should be able to get this story back on track soonish. I got called into work early, and my day off Tuesday is now gone as well. However, I should have some time to do things. We shall see

Hey, at least when YOU go in to work on your day off, you get paid for it!
(Have I mentioned that I hate frickin salary?!?) :/

Iz all good, I'm busy trying to get my Christmas together at the Castle Ragadolf. We're getting there. Slowly. ;P

Be good all, we'll see you soon! :)

Heh. Non salary does have its benefits. I have been getting called in pretty damn regularly though. It plays hell with my free time. I need a good four hour stretch to reconstruct the NPCs you guys were battling. It's annoying.

Anyway, just a heads up that I will be basically stymied until Tuesday with work. The holidays is always a big production. I am keeping my reconstruction in mind though so stay tuned

Oh and ...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Hey all, I'll be visiting family after Christmas, so just wanted to say, it's been a fun year, hope to have another one starting January!

Merry Christmas to all! And to all a game night!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

That is all.

For now,...

;)
