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

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.

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

Spoiler:

“Roll for Gender” server

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.

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.

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.

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).

Silver Crusade

1 person marked this as a favorite.

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.

Silver Crusade

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.

Silver Crusade

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?

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.

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.

I found a new area in Red Dead Redemption 2 and promptly helped this lady escape from a police wagon. Thus ensuring I had a bounty there.

In fairness, she did say "please".

I went to the post office and paid off the bounty (it was only 5 dollars) and walked out of the post office and promptly shot (accidentally) the first person I tried talking to.

That, right there, is RDR2 in a nutshell. Why they mapped “talk” and “shoot” to the same button is beyond me.

That's about all I've seen in recent years as well. The constant false alarms made it more of an annoyance than a deterrent.

There were at least a half-dozen in one apartment complex I was staying at. When the 'car alarms' are louder than the jetliners coming in on approach over your apartment and they get 'keyed' by other residents, it's hard to feel much in the way of sympathy or empathy (this was in the late '90's, when it was believed to be useful.. somehow).

Please note not advocating for such vandalism!

New cars generally do not have touch/motion alarms anymore. (Panic buttons, yes, but not alarms due to touch.) If you hear one, it’s likely an older car or an after-market addition.

I would like to invite everyone to the beach in NYC on Sunday. It is going to be sunny, warm, nice waves, and a gentle breeze.

The eastern-most end of Jacob Riis Park is the LGBT area, and also an area where people play club/disco music, and show lots of skin. When I was there earlier this week, an impromptu dance to the Cha Cha Slide broke out among over a dozen people in various states of (un)dress. It is basically like the super cool, 100% inclusive party that never existed in the suburbs, but now happens every nice day. But this weekend should be extra special!

I'll probably ride my bike from Grand Central around 11am, and get to the beach around 2. If anyone would like to join me, or meet up there, post here or pm me. Or just show up! It really is amazing!

EDIT: You can drive, ride, take the subway, or a ferry from Manhattan or Brooklyn. There might be a parking fee (I don't know) but the beach is free in every sense of the word!

Freehold DM and I are in. I am going to PM you for contact info.
