Hi, Josephine!

How about a semi-coincidence? It’s been previously established that Nace goes for morning runs around town. If Coyote is out walking, and the town is small, it would be likely that they would run into each other.

As with the day before, Nace wakes up early. He falls into his morning routine, donning his familiar UConn hoodie and heading out for a run. The air is cold, but he warms up quickly with the exertion and his warm attire. He takes in the early morning sights - the town is quiet. It’s almost like he can imagine the place is deserted, but for the occasional sight of a fellow early riser.

He is deep in thought when he turns a corner and spots Coyote. He slows up. ”I didn’t peg you for an early riser,” he says with a slight grin.

We’ve all been there, Quinn. You’ll figure it out.

”Good thing I’m not Secret Service,” Nace mutters.

K Local is replaced by Street in this ruleset.

Street: 1d20 + 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (7) + (5) + 7 = 19

”A dollar bill,” Nace says, playing along. He looks around. ”Kinda rough crowd - and I don’t even mean at this table.”

Thank you, I'll be here all weak. Try the veal. Tip your waitress.

tips veal, tries waitress

My dad broke his leg tipping veal....

Or rather. The Veal got back up and then broke his leg...

That’s why it’s better to cook it first.

Happy Pride, Everyone!!

Hi Orthos!

It’s great to see you and hear your story. I’ve always been a supporter of personal growth. We all have our own journeys to get to where we are supposed to be.

I was just thinking of the Hugo Solis commission…

I feel obliged to swing by the old clubhouse as well. Good to see all* you bastards again. I hope life is treating you well and that you found someone as abusive as me to put you in your place.

*RIP PMG

Nobody abuses me as well as you :(

pours one out for the PMG

Stopping by to post in honor of PMG.

Same. This came as a shock to me.

I am saddened to hear of Gary’s passing. He was a central figure in my early experiences with Paizo - a brilliant man who always stayed down-to-earth and accessible.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends. Farewell, PMG

Nace after Miyuku fires

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

How many rounds were we out of combat? It makes a difference for both protection from evil and infernal healing

Nace acted. He wasn’t exactly wearing his sword on his belt, so it would take a bit of action economy to retrieve it and close in.

”Admit it - you’re a little curious what’s in this well, aren’t you?” Nace says. ”Miyuku, do you think you can bust those locks? I left my sword in the trunk.”

He looks thoughtful for a moment. ”Who… or what… is ALF?”

Nace smirks. This does kind of feel like a LARP. If only it were so simple. ”Sorry to interrupt your… burglary… or whatever. Do you always just announce that sort of thing?”

He got off easy. I had half a mind to make it a baby shower instead of a birthday party.

Hi Gay!

Thank you all for this blog.

Dern hums along to the elevator music.

You’re in!

I’ve been letting this be a bit of a hiatus, since Tilnar was away, and I knew you and Patrick were occupied. I’m hoping to get us moving again this weekend.

*Sees angel-shaped bat signal in the sky*

I did share such a server previously. The server owner has previously shared it publicly, so I will share it here again.

I’m on Discord a lot more than I’m on Paizo these days, so I will check out Gwenn’s server!

Dern is going “nova” on that check! I checked my sheet and noticed all sorts of things he has to help interact with xenophobic humans. Reading my character sheet - a truly novel idea!

Sorry for the lull. Things have been busy, and I have to spend some time extending my notes. (It was easy enough running you through the ruined abbey, since I had laid out that dungeon and its encounters some time ago!)

I am going to try to get us moving again.

Here's praying they change their minds.

I am also worried for Amby.

Yeah I thought of her. Glad she is not on Sanibel Island anymore.

So, I have a Nextdoor account (that annoying location-based social media platform) mostly so that I can check it if there’s a utility outage or road closure, but today’s top post is too hilarious.

Someone complaining that the new sign in front of “Applebeam’s” spins too quickly and nearly knocked over their grandchild. It is the entire absurdity of that platform epitomized in a single post. If someone was trolling, they did it perfectly.

Edit: They specifically said it was rotating “at lightning speed” and included a video of the slowly rotating sign.

"Mebbe the big guy 'ere could 'andle it all!" Norveg reaches up and pats Volidrian's forearm.

Wrong half-orc ;)

Same character avatar though.

I always figured it would be Captain Yesterday who brings about the apocalypse.

Afternoon, all. What did I miss?

I would start with the hand that landed on me. Auguste is not that selfless.

So.

Have an interview later on today. Same company but different position and a little bit more money.

This...could be big. I'm nervous but also excited. This is an opportunity no other job I have had before offered me so...yeah. Even if I don't get it, I'm still going for it.

You got this!!!

Yes - dating can be a good experience, even if it doesn't go anywhere. The more of it you do, the easier it gets.

Tragon has rope too. I’ve been around the block a few times.

As a reminder - you’re here to retrieve water from a well in the courtyard.

Wait.. you waited until 2 weeks before the Con to suddenly start selling badges after two months of telling people that you would not be selling them?

How.. how does this make any sense? We had three friends planning on flying in from three different places across the country who canceled their flights and plans because there would not be tickets for everyone.

What an absolute let down on every level.

Paizo asked people with badges to notify them by March 11 if they wanted a refund, so that they would know how many badges to issue. But then they didn't actually process any of those refunds for almost 2 months (May 3rd). I suspect that is the reason they have only just discovered that they have excess capacity.

Has this been resolved yet? The whole thing just seems baffling.

May the 4th, and a refund check be with you Celestial Healer!

I have received an email from Tonya that my refund is in process now.

I have completed all tickets that were submitted before this weekend. I will be working through the tickets received this weekend. I expect to have those requests done tomorrow.

I have two tickets: 148977 opened March 6 and 154538 opened April 29. Neither has had a response, and my 2022 PaizoCon badge is still active.

The issue has not been the ticketing system. It was a process that had me as a logjam. Other issues going to CS are resolved in a timely manner, this is all on me.

I've cleared the back PaizoCon tickets received before April 30. I'll be back at it tomorrow finishing the last 40 tickets that came in over the weekend. That should bring us current.

How are people being notified? I still haven’t seen an email or any other communication, and my account still shows a 2022 PaizoCon badge (and I should be in the “before April 30” group, as I opened my ticket on March 6).

Yes, the problem is not my email. It generated an automated CS ticket number. They just haven’t acted on it.

And Cori Marie is correct to point out that calling CS was not an option. They have not taken CS requests by phone for 2 years.

At any rate, I very much appreciate that the Paizo team is looking into this.

Correct. They deleted my PaizoCon forum post. I don’t like putting it here either.

I was inclined to let the matter drop, but when they actually deleted my post to the PaizoCon section of the boards - and still did not respond to me - I realized that Paizo’s CS team was actively ignoring my attempts to contact them through the appropriate channels.

I have been sending almost weekly emails to Customer Service since March 6. It has been almost 2 months, and I have sent 5 emails in that time.

This is just to request a refund of my PaizoCon ticket, purchased in 2020. I know how badly some folks wish they could go this year. It saddens me that I am apparently still in Paizo’s headcount for the Con. My badge shows as active for 2022.

But I am especially disappointed given how I have been an enthusiastic supporter of Paizo over the last 16 years, spending thousands of dollars on your products, only to be treated like an annoyance undeserving of the courtesy of a single response.

What happened?

“The blog wasn’t only Dragon Age-focused. McKay also said the Mass Effect team is hard at work concepting new ideas for the latest installment in the alien romance simulator that occasionally masquerades as a very good action RPG.”

Article on Dragon Age 4 development that includes that hilarious Mass Effect summary

History has its eyes on youuuu.

Guess who just saw Hamilton?

Aaron Burr?

I would recommend it. I've been checking into this part of the messageboards (and this thread) periodically for updates on PaizoCon. Had I not been doing so, I would not have known.

Got it.

Eve was talking smack again about prepping for Dallas winter storms v. Maine winter storms, so I let her know that I exchanged the empty propane bottle and picked up a bottle of schnapps for the cocoa.

Like I don't know how to prep.

Seriously, though. Dallas folks hear we might get an inch of snow, and suddenly the grocery store shelves are as bare as during the first month of the pandemic. Good freaking grief.

We're on the northern side of this thing rolling through and one would have thought that it was the apocalypse or something... we went from moderately decent stock levels don't get me started on that to half-bare shelves.

We LIVE IN freakin' NORTHERN ILLINOIS. This is **winter** folks! FFS! One would seriously think that the End of times or something was coming... eesh.

One of the great things about living in an eternally drought-parched area is that if you need to make a big shopping trip and you see rain in the forecast you can wait until day 3 of the rain: The shelves will be full and the stores will be empty because nobody wants to go out in the "big storm".

In the Central Valley we had an occasional storm that hit a rate of 1" an hour, which is really a downpour. 1" in a day is an unusually wet day in the area I live.

When I lived in L.A., I always thought the fear of the rain was crazy. Then, the first time it rained, I saw the problem. The streets do not drain, at all. And the months of dry weather leaves an oily sheen on the roads that gets incredibly slick in the rain. Driving in rain in Southern California is no joke.

That's the American healthcare system for you.

Sorry for the slow return. We were exposed to COVID over Christmas. My husband had mild symptoms and tested positive but is well on the mend. I somehow tested negative, but we are still quarantining for the duration. It has left me in a weird headspace.

I hope everyone is faring reasonably well with all that is going on.

Well, Irikar wouldn’t know.

Maybe you don’t want to… rat… on Tybalt.
