I apologize for this, but I need to yell loudly. I have had it up to my gills with the nonsense of the government of the state I live in: Florida.

"Don't say Gay" - Removal of all LGBT discussion in K-12 classrooms.
Book bannings - I can't even count how many
Government saying Pride is "inappropriate" for Florida
and now: acting as if Lawrance v. Texas had been overturned. Apparently Florida's Lewd and lascivious behavior law is still on the books and can be used to prosecute people who hooks up with someone of the same sex.

I feel like I'm living in Nazi Germany. How long before all of my friends are locked up?

A fantasy playlist my Husband made to incentivise me to GM

Currently "The Small Hours" (Yes, the Metallica cover) and
"Witch of Endor" by the Bloody Hammers

along with a rediculous amount of Ritchie Blackmore from Purple, through Rainbow, and with Candice.

Back to the Paizo forums after seven years, and I

this thread is still going.

Yeah, it really is. :( The other classes aren't really in this situation. I'd just pick an interpretation and go with it for now (either you repertoire is 3 spells per rank, or its 4 spells per rank) until the errata comes out.

Either option will work for now.

My two copper pieces:

I am going to disagree with Bluemagetim's interpretation due to the unlikliness of the inverse. Under "Spell Repertoire" in the Oracle section it very clearly spells out at 3rd level you get 2 second-rank spells. As Lore and Tempest do not add second-Rank spells, that interpretation would leave Lore and Tempest oracles with only two second-rank spells at third level. There is no way to interpret the text RAW in a way that leaves those mysteries with 3 second-rank spells in their repertoire, so the entire section is called into question as to the intention and what parts are, exactly, errors. The simpilest interpretation is that known spells = spell slots on the table + mystery.

That being said, I am still going to use Bluemagetim's interpretation, as, if in the future (which is likely) it is errata'd players are not going to object to having to add a few spells to their repertoires. They certainly would if I implemnted the other way, and had to subtract know spells due to errata.

It's about a vampire! Plus, like a lot of people, anything written by Jim Steinman.

RIP my ipod

Sorry to hear it. Here's a youtubeized (with lots of deletes) version of an old Nick Cave album I recently bought.

Mutiny in heaven is blocked here. I guess there are no rats in paradise.

As much as I preach education and tolerance over violence on these boards, it is incredibly hard to keep a level head when somebody is personally insulting you, your friends, and impersonally insulting Muslims and LGBT people.

Yes, yes it is. I've been struggling with this, and I've decided (for me) it is better to be alive and angry all the time, than alive and afraid all the time, or dead.

Right now
Muse - Resistance
Just kind of where I'm at right now.

The Strawbs - Hero and Heroine

1% of the current presidential term down

Small progress, yes... but it shows that this madness is finite. Keep counting the days until the inevitable rallying cry of the next campaign;

'Donald Trump. You're fired!'

I'm sorry, but I don't think for a second that he's going to leave peacefully. He's already moving to establish authoritarian control, and the only way he's leaving is by being kicked out. Probably violently, but I hope just legally.

Edit: It's possible this is just me being hopeless and paranoid. I did say I didn't much like what this is doing to me.

Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties

*Two thumbs up* I once made an entire campaign based on "Astronomy".

Tom Waits - Small Change

Persona 5 music

There's a Persona 5? When did that happen?

I was actually contemplating checking out. Not solely from despair/lack of hope, but more so from how the despair is changing me.
If the last week is any indicator, I'm really going to hate myself in a few years. Anyway, I'm still here. How is everyone else doing?

I'll take a hug.
On edge and fraying, I'm convinced [REDACTED TO AVOID TRIGGERING] that very, very bad things are coming for those of us in the US.

Not to get political, but this is a necessary response to events occurring locally.

Moody Blues - Days of Future Past

Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You

*offers hugs to anyone and everyone that wants or needs one*

Definitely need one. One of my dogs died yesterday after a months-long struggle with kidney disease.

Favoriting even though that particular video of "Stay Free" is unavailable in my country on copyright grounds.

Oddly enough, other videos of the same song aren't.

Ditto

I just have to say that this is the only place I've ever met anybody else who appreciates Peter Hammill/Van Der Graaf Generator.

lol. Sex isn't everything. I've been with my life partner for 13 years, and we've never, so how pathetic would that make me?

I rather liked it. I thought it sounded a bit like Eloy, in places.

Right now, Worlds Within Worlds - Basil Kirchin

EDIT: 'YMCA' in Finnish

I love Eloy! For some reason Dawn isn't on Spotify, so now: Eloy - Ocean.

The meaning of life is to give life meaning.

I disagree completely.

The meaning of life is to learn.
Every generation builds knowledge and uses that knowledge to give the next generation a boost. Exchanging ideas on a global electronic forum is just the latest boost, we will learn more. It IS what life strives to do. It IS what gives it meaning. We learn how to be moral and improve cooperation, We learn how to build better and better tools and improve productivity, We learn... ALL the things!

You disagree, and then you give a meaning? The only difference here is that you expect everyone else to agree to YOUR meaning.

The meaning of life is to give life meaning.

Belief does not make something true.

I'd like to think all the rules arguments we've seen on the forums proves that.

I believe this is true.

What are Chill Hits?

Basically easy listening and soft R&B.

4 thumbs-ups!

I might need a kitten-cuddle cannon. I definitely need a rainbow-glitter cannon.

Happy (whatever) everybody!
(We had the giant family, aunts, uncles & everybody holiday gathering at the end of November, so it's just me,the partner, and his mother celebrating whatever and watching Christmas movies.)

Blackmore's Night Winter Carols
I know a lot of people are like "what the #$%^, Ritchie Blackmore?" but I like his pop-folk stuff better than, say, mid-eighties Rainbow.
