sorry guys, screwed my back up so been slow again.
That is sad when it happens. I hope you feel better soon.
I second that. From a chronic pain sufferer.
No problem, take your time to get better.
Yeah, I moved something I shouldn't of. The Next day I couldn't bend. Its a chronic issue that tries to kill me from time to time.
Sorry, been gone for Jury selection.
I guess my quote of hang the guilty bastard wasn't what they were looking for in an impartial juror. :)
Actually, it was because I could not speak french that they turned me away.
Heh, I had the opposite experience. I got excluded from the jury for saying that I didn't give LEOs special preference with regard to testimony, and if they wanted me to believe something, show me the evidence.
I got selected once and all we did was sit up stairs one day a week for two weeks. I may have also forgot I had Jury duty one day and freaked out lol
Keeper - so, you were an alternate juror?
I've been to two jury selections. In one of them, the defense lawyer asked the guy sitting next to me if he was related to so-and-so, because they had the same last name. I'm not exaggerating when I say the guy sounded just like Goofy in the way he talked : "Huh-yuh! Could be - I dunnow!" (imagine Goofy saying that - that's how he sounded).
He was accepted by both the defense and prosecutor.
In the other one, I asked a clarifying question about the "do you know anything about the aspects of this case beyond the average person" question, and wasn't selected.
Lesson learned : to get out of jury duty, look at the prosecutor and defender, and appear interested in what's going on. Ask a clarifying question if possible. They don't want smart people on the jury...
No, it was more for drug court. We sit up stairs just in case someone wanted a trial. No one did, they either took their sentence or made deals. That is good advice, they don't like folks asking to many questions.
Unconfirmed announcement from Paizo: It looks like the plan is for Paizo.com to go down at 8 a.m. Pacific on Monday, November 3rd, and the site will likely remain down for a few days.
Savage Worlds Fans: There is a recruitment going on for a SW game, in case anyone is interested.
Sorry, I got busy an didn't notice the site was back up
Will look after the christmas season (AKA 7 Jan) to determine if the army grabbed those papers.
Rufus - I have lots of time on my hands, so I went back and re-read the entire scene, from seeing the flying jetpack getting shot down to being chased by an unknown group of men to the Army Captain arriving and nearly arresting us for being spies. Check Gameplay...
Flying Eagle, it was during the time, that we were almost arrested for being spies that the army might have grabbed them.
If not I will re-review the current scene, and figure out what I am going to do
.
They did, but that does not mean this guy will believe you.
also Happy New year all
Happy New year. :)
Still not really available until the 7th when I am back at my regular post.
I hope the GM doesn't mind my posting this here, but I'm recruiting for a Cleric or Paladin to join the SW for Pathfinder game I'm running. We're running the Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path. Click HERE if you're interested.
I don't mind at all.
Give me a couple of hours over the next couple of days.
I should have either a warpriest, or cleric, or Paladin put together.
More partial to the warpriest.
Rufus - haven't heard from you in a while, how's the build going?
I did not do it this round, but can I can use the -2 multiple action penalty to take two melee attacks? Or do both actions have to be different types of actions?
Flying Eagle.
Just starting the build today. I should have it done by tomorrow.
I got flooded out in my games room when my grandson decided to turn the outside water on.
Pipe burst, and 2200 dollars later, I have it fixed, but a lost of lost and broken gaming stuff.
Good grief! Sorry to hear about the lost gaming stuff, hope most of it is replaceable...
That sucks. Its good how much we love family at times.
Lost and not replaceable
AD&D 1st Ed - All books.
Replaceable
Star Fleet Battles
Federation and Empire
Advanced Squad Leader
Not sure
1/2 my Rifts collection
Still checking the rest of my stuff to see if its recoverable.
Edit, I could have strangled the little bugger.
I will have traveling from Friday March 6th, until Saturday March 21st. I will try and keep up posting, but please feel free to bot me as needed.
Damn Rufus, that is rough man. I would have been highly upset as well.
Sorry I have not been on for the last couple of days.
Have a Stomach bug that has had me high centred on the WC facilities for the last couple of days.
After finishing the catalog of despair I found my Battle tech stuff from the 80's and 90's were destroyed as well.
Absolute sadness.
Ah hell man, the BT stuff is another sad lose. I lost many of my old BT minis in a move and was in another state when I found out some boxes had been left.
BT was a fun quick game until you got to company and Battalion sized units.
Man, I loved my Steiner Scout Lance. (AKA - 4 Atlases)
After all, if everything is dead in the area you went to check, you still scouted the area.
I tended toward Mercs or Hell's Horses TBH. Large scale games got nuts. If you have never checked out megamek you should.

I was a merc unit. Just 4 companies of 16 vice 12 because I went with a base 4 system.
Usual engagement size was only a company, and always had one in reserve holding down the starport / landing field to protect my ride home.
I kinda wanna try alpha strike which is made for copay sized engagements to play in about 2 hours. Gotta be faster than the ye olden days of 8 hour games
Never tried Alpha Strike. I only know the old style, where the machines could take a beating. Same as the tanks, and planes.
Same,I just keep seeing it and the idea of doing a company on company fight in 2 hours is interesting. You recall fighting elementals when they were new?
Was running a campaign in the former FRR (Lyran Mercs) with some Dracs thrown in, vs a couple of Drac companies
They were given a contract to hit a small engine factory on a drac world.
They had planned to hit other locations around to draw off the reinforcements and then strike the main site and bulldoze the defenders.
That was their own idea.
They dropped onto a planet slightly to the galactic north of their target when thier sensors started picking up unknowns.
As they approached, their sensors started going crazy with strange identifications. Heavy Company Vs Heavy Star w Elementals.
The look of shock on some of their faces when they started getting hit by ERPPC's, and Gauss rounds.
Then one of their machines got swarmed by Elementals, and blew up.
Man what a fun fight.
Hell yeah. Those bastards were a menace. I recall the first time I used em they swamped a Shadowhawk and it wasn't a good time for it. 3025 tech, the best they had in the whole group was a PPC.
3050 clan tech verse 3025 tech is just brutal.
