I am so awesome I don't need hookers and blow to be awesome.

But would they make you a tiger-blooded tornado of awesome? Charlie Sheen knows the answer to that.

EDIT: Wait, nevermind. I already used that joke like 6 years ago. That is NOT awesome of me!

I'm surprised we got this far without this.

Go to a butcher, ask for a pound of mince. You'll get a blank look.

Same goes for an American butcher, but it wouldn't be the unit that was causing the problem...

Can't wait until Toddler Gersen is old enough to see this.
P.S. Part 2 out in April!

Beignets were declared the official state doughnut of Louisiana in 1986.

You could have just said, "States have official doughnuts," and, to my mind, that would be a wondrous enough entry for this thread!

P.S. Here's a list of official foods for my state:

Spoiler:
State fruit - Tomato; red grapefruit
State bread - Corn bread
State dish - Chili con carne
State nut - Native pecan
State pastries - Sopaipilla and Strudel
State cookie - Mexican wedding cookie
State pepper - Jalapeño
State native pepper - Chiltepin
State pie - Pecan pie
State snack - Tortilla chips and salsa
State vegetable - Sweet onion

One will note that we have both an "official pepper" AND and an "official native pepper!"

If Matt Damon is unacceptable in a Chinese-made movie set in China, is it equally unacceptable for, say, Jackie Chan to star in an American-made movie set in America? Just wondering what the limits are.

(That said, I don't like Matt Damon and don't understand why he's in the movie.)

I think one should simply consider using other idioms for calling things as they are or cutting through irrelevant details.

From village guards?

I only hear those numbers from double digit CR outsiders.

In a lot of Paizo AP modules, the village guards ARE double-digit CR outsiders. And for some reason no one thinks it's odd that a devil capable of subjugating entire kingdoms spends decades sitting with 5 of his friends in room C12 cutting up turnips, because sooner or later the adventurers will happen by and it would be disappointing if the fight wasn't suitably epic.

All that being said, in my 30-odd years of playing and GMing experience, there is one definite thing I can say about a GM who makes all his/her rolls in the open: Those tables are far more deadly to the players.

More deadly to the characters, certainly. I roll in the open and have yet to see a player drop dead at the table.

Call it what it really is - cheating.

A lot of people have the exact same opinion about a DM "fudging" dice rolls.

You'll never look at the Count in the same way again.

Clarification: There's a difference between (a) noting a statistically large number of unfortunate occurrences within a given interval, vs. (b) actually blaming that interval for those occurrences.

So I am in a pathfinder carrion crown campaign and the DM running it is a super min/maxer. The group has a magus, a samurai, and a slayer.

Assuming you're really serious about the DM, my advice is to fire all members of the group, and instead advertise for a cleric, a wizard, and a witch or bard.


I am so daggone sick of comic book superhero movies that I sort of wish Marvel would kill them ALL off, just to give us a break.

I don't favorite my own posts, mostly because I'm afraid it would be a distraction when I constantly click on "Favorited by Others."

I MET HIM AT LAST YEAR'S NYCC!

I was at my table selling shirts. A tired looking man comes up to look at shirts wearing the most AWESOME star wars rebels jacket I have ever seen and I ask him whee when got it. He says he can't sell it to me, it is a cast jacket. I am confused and then I put two and two together and flip out. He puts the hat on for me and I take a picture of him.

It was awesome!

That was actually Joss Whedon in disguise.

Spoiler:
Just kidding. Please continue.

White Plume has a 3.5 conversion, and it's pretty easy in comparison to some of the others. Tomb of Horrors had one as well.

And what a disappointment it was! The Tomb seemed to go from "irrevocably snuffed out, no save" in 1e to "DC 10 Fort or take an insignificant amount of damage" in 3.5.

I'm not gonna vote this election because I don't like the candidates.

When they count up the votes in my state they're gonna be like, "hey, where's Spastic Puma's vote? He's a pretty smart guy. Why didn't he vote?" And the other guy's gonna be like "Didn't you check Facebook? He thinks both candidates are dumb because they don't match his impossibly liberal tastes". And then Trump and Hilary and the party leaders are gonna be like "What have we done?" and impeach themselves. Then the whole country will unite and from the ashes will rise the perfect political demigod -- like a phoenix born from apathy and disdain for incrementalism. Then everyone will know that being right and having the most correct worldview is much more important then stopping the most ludicrously destructive incarnation of beta carotene this nation has ever seen.

Was it Steve Brust who said something like "Sarcasm works a lot better when you lightly dust a phrase with it, instead of drenching every word."

COOOOOOOOOOL

For the record, Star Trek is the poster child of nerd subculture. It could therefore be considered the very antithesis of "cool."

I think you guys have too many letters and are just trying to get rid of them through overuse!


I suspect that, if you want to convince a bunch of rabid foaming-at-the-mouth Tolkien fanbois that fighters can be as awesome as wizards without being "too Anime," then as soon as you reference something called "One Punch Man" you've lost the entire thread and might as well give up.

If you really want to see, go ahead and post a full fighter build and see what druid can do in comparison.

I can guess from experience how that will come out:

1. For everything the druid does, we get "You shouldn't do that!" or "The DM shouldn't allow that!"
2. You respond, "Let's just look at what the rules actually say."
3. He answers, "A DM who doesn't use common sense is a bad DM!" and then goes into accusations about MMORPGs.
4. If you somehow divert that, you're still "not a team player" because you use the casters' potential instead of gentlemanly using them solely to boost the martial guys' fragile egos and try to make them look good.

The trick any GM needs to learn is simple: "How could I stop this without breaking verisimilitude?"

Never, ever, try to out power the GMs narrative. They will always win.

This is great advice if you want to make sure that approximately no one I've ever played with will willingly come anywhere near your table.

Which book there was that illustration with Seelah enrage besides a tree with two signs "This way to Antipaladin Castle" and "This way to orphanage on fire" pointing to opposite directions and the antipaladin laughing hidden behind the tree ?
I'm going to guess either Ultimate Campaign or Pathfinder Unchained.
Pathfinder Unchained page 101 in, appropriately, the alignment section and right after the picture of Seelah in a John Woo movie (lots of doves.)

No one puts ranks in Perception anymore!

This just kicks Xanatos in the jibbly bits. This is a Paladin. Paladins cannot lie. This is a Paladin who just said, "No. This man is a liar."

I'm interested in this Negate Bluff (Su) ability that paladins apparently get. Does it only work within their aura? Or within hearing? On the same plane? Does it have the [language-dependent] descriptor? Does it automatically overcome a glibness spell, or do I need to make an opposed check or something?

I feel like I should be using it more often, but I can't seem to find it in the rules.
