I think I might have been Patient Zero this year. With all the late nights working over the past week getting stuff ready, my immune system was vulnerable, and I've been out of commission since yesterday afternoon.
Hope I didn't pass it on to too many people!
I'm sorry that the Emergen-C didn't 'fix you right up' as I had predicted. Rest-up and feel better.
It's always harder to do good than evil...I think it's fine that it takes WAY more effort to get back to goodness once you've allowed yourself to sink into glorious depravity. Who wants to go back anyway, we throw better parties.
And d20 Spectaculars, though that wasn't quite finished...
I so wanted this book to come out. I own everything that WotC and Green Ronin decided to publish for d20 Modern. I think I even offered a bribe to someone who worked on it to get a copy of the shelved manuscript.
I've certainly been offered bribes for peaks at this project. Some more NSFW than others. But I know for a fact the final manuscript was never finished, so there's nothing worth being bribed for, more's the pity.
NOW you've done it...you're supposed to take the NSFW bribe and then hand over what you've got...if it amounts to nothing, that's their problem. You held up your end of the bargain. <pun pun>
So, who has to get 'disappeared' for PFS to get The Sagamore Ballroom? WotC doesn't look like they need all that space anymore.
They should just build another gigantic ballroom in the convention center and name it the Hall of Gear! Though it should probably have a bar in it. The Sagamore Ballroom is missing a bar.
I'm a reasonable person, they can just haul a bar in and keep it fully-stocked, tended, and open for the entire convention. That is, in my WHOLE NEW CUSTOM BALLROOM!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA We shall have to come up with some custom designs to etch into the "imperial" pints and jiggers. Being a PFS room, maybe put faction symbols on some of the jiggers.
I have a regular gaming group that gets together on Tuesdays from 18:00-22:00+...we play APs, but several of us have active PFS characters. Speaking only for myself, I'd be very happy to get with a group for PFS on some Tuesdays.
Perhaps I'm alone in this, but I would be willing to cut out individual pieces from a whole printed card. There are 40 whole squares on a map pack card, which could be twenty horses of different breed/color/barding. Or eight 10x10 war machines with eight squares left over for ammunition piles etc. etc.
I'll be playing Nimh as often as I can, but since he's 6th level I'll have a 1st level of some kind on stand-by.
Solid for GenCon
Ogre can correct me, but I think the idea is to have a group of level 1 characters who are already friends coming out of Pathfinder training. Obviously that won't hold true forever as new members join, and heroes will certainly fall from time to time. But it will be awhile before any of the charter members hit the 5-6 tier.
I'm pretty sure I'm going with the Human Barbarian. And fairly positive about my PaizoCon attendance.
h'yup...you're right. :D I'll think of something in plenty of time for Indy.
Please: Useful from 1st-3rd level; REAL rules; cleric, fighter, rogue, wizard; all core races; "basic" equipment aka Standard Adventuring Kit; dungeon crawl with a map (flip-mat?); dice (big purple d20? ;)); and GOBLINS!
Some WANTS: useful from 1st to 6th level; REAL rules in a 7x5" book; paper minis; village/urban adventure with a map; new and improved Campaign Workbook (maybe 7x5 like the rule book) box to be made of plastic molded with compartments for everything to be secure; and a Paizo-purple mechanical pencil. hmmmmm...yeah...that may take the price point a bit too high. :D
For my own purposes, I'm adding X and L to the lamia fight in Jorgenfist, with no advancement. Xanesha has added onto every major boss fight so far and made them near-TPKs, so they will be glad to have their revenge.
I will be doing the same, for many of the same reasons. Xanesha TPKed the party in Skinsaw. So I used her at Rannick, where Lucrecia convinced the party that she was an ambassador being held prisoner after the Ogres took the fort; then, the invisible, Xanesha struck, crippling the Paladin in the surprise round, killing the Fighter at the beginning of the first round while the Wizard covered Lucrecia's "escape", Xanesha finished the Pally at the beginning of the second round, and brought the Wizard to 0hp as he fled the fort. I decided not to have her follow the Wizard and Barbarian out of the fort because I didn't want another TPK. The goals that I had in mind were to give the players revenge on Xanesha, and throw them a curve ball later when they find out who/what Lucrecia is.
I picked up my items at GenCon and payed for them there. Got my CC statement today and was charged there too. Order# 1477684
I double checked with our credit card processor. There was only a transaction on 7/26, for the full amount. There was no charge for the subscription materials when you picked them up at Gen Con, and when scanned at the checkout these books would have come up as $0.
Watched a 'grudge-match' Saturday night...played in two scenarios after that, on the Keeper's Keep map. It was great fun...highly recommended. This book is on my short list to buy, I'm thrilled that the rulebook is available as a PDF on their site, hope it's not too long before Paizo offers it too. If you've got players that show up later than the others, this makes for a fantastic 'pre-game' while you wait for the straggler(s) because it doesn't take very long to finish a scenario.
Lords of the Boards...I do summon thee from thy graves! Arise and Post again! I, Yasha, Caffeine Lord, do call thee to service in meeting this completely ridiculous goal of 100 posts in one hour!
Yeah maaaan...lemme get some more of that good $#!+...I got this VCR if, you know, you wanna take it in trade. Or if you could just float it to us, I'm good for it...just ask..uh..that guy...I'm good for it. C'mon, just lemme get a little bit more...that last taste was soooo good...c'mon man...it's cool.
Yes to rings, yes to pendants, and YES to Wayfinder. As long as they are all of the quality that we've come to love. I'm happy to pay a premium for quality merchandise.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I concocted the best snack dessert ever for gaming tonight.
confectioner's sugar (8 oz, half of a 1 pound box)
philadelphia cream cheese (8 oz, one box)
blueberry pie filling (21 oz, one can)
Warm cream cheese up to room temperature by setting out of refrigerator for a half hour or a little longer. Blend ingredients together. (Note: I don't have a mixer, so I put it in a bowl and mixed it by hand to a good result)
Chill and serve as a dip with graham crackers.
Alternatively serve as a topping on vanilla ice cream.
Back ground:
Imperial world (agri-world)
Proven innocent: Lose 1 fate point, gain +3 to all characteristics and +1 wound.
Sons of Dispater: You gain Common Lore (Underworld) (Int), Intimidate (S) and Security (Ag) as starting Skills. Equipment: Exchange the sword that Assassins normally gain for a stub automatic, a silencer and two clips of ammunition.
