...And you can't kill the hot dog and get your money back after it heals you.

I've moved recently from Skyrim to Dark Souls...apparently because I hate myself and have been feeling far too confident as a person lately, and wanted to do something to rectify that.

Try to take away a knife from someone without specific training in the ability to do that, and see if you don't get stabbed. It's pretty reflective of that.

Yeah, but fish smell awful, so it's more offensive to hit someone with it.

I like Orthos's policies on "not being crazy" even though he seems distant and not quite as relatable, but the captain says what everyone is thinking, even though I'm pretty sure him as ruler may mean the end of the world.
...why does this seem like a poorly veiled political joke?

Instagram is just a photo sharing program, not even a full social media service. Its like saying nobody uses the hospital anymore, its all the eastern wing inside the hospital these days.
If you wanna stick it to Facebookers, use Google+. It's actually capable of more, but much less people (comparatively speaking) use it.
Or Twitter, where absolutely everything is public.

:-/ I found it.
It wasn't in those pants.
I dug through literally all the dirty and clean clothes in the house after running out of ideas. It was in a pair of shorts that I don't remember wearing at all this week.

As if the stupid theme park event wasn't bad enough, now I haven't been able to find my wallet since then. >:-( I also can't find the pants I was wearing that day, though, so it might not have been stolen.

It didn't really seem possible - the only reason I even included cleric was the darkness domain can give you some of the shadow spells, but I don't think druids can even access that domain.

"Sensitivity" to heat, for most people, can be tamed through systematic desensitization. Why would you do this? Well, looking like a badass aside, spicy food has a ton of physical benefits. I'm too lazy to link them. Use google.

Because if, worse case scenario, they promise 9:30, and the surgery doesn't happen until 10:00, and a person dies at 9:45, that's a lawsuit.

I have a theory as to why that worked:
Nerves are pretty much wires and thoughts and movement and such, even pain, are electrical impulses. When the heart is off rhythm, we electrocute it to restart it properly. Even people who suffer severe mental problems are treated with electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT, where you basically just zap someone until their brain stops suffering the negative effects and scientists still aren't 100% sure why it works, but more often than not, it does! (At least temporarily.) I worked at a mental institution where this therapy was so effective that other patients would request it after hearing the results some got. We've come a LONG way since the 70s and One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.
Pretty much, you probably hit ctrl+alt+del on your nerves in your shoulder.

And then from the emails I assumed it was last weekend, but it was this weekend. So now both weekends are screwed up.
Why yes, I was planning to take Pea Bear to see Civil War as a cool movie father daughter bonding experience. Which we're doing anyway.
I f+&+ing hate Facebook. At least when it's the only focus. Email is still a thing people do last I checked.
The following is based on the information provided and may very well be wrong based upon lack of context, so do take it with a grain of salt:
So, basically you're saying everyone else voluntarily agreed on a common and easy means of communication that you arbitrarily refuse involvement in, and they all need to change because of it to accommodate your refusal?
Occam's Razor might disagree with that.
Even getting in for free, I absolutely hate theme parks.
Never again. Not even for family.

Yes, but you never know if you'll be sensible until you've started. I'm sure my idiot brother thought he would be. It's pretty foolish to start if you know you have a genetic predisposition.

Why do children of alcoholics, who grow up seeing how their parents' lives are ruined by alcohol, start drinking? Especially when they have an older brother who constantly warns them that alcoholism is strongly genetic?
In other news, I sometimes really hate my brother.

Damnit. I have reactions to this, but I don't want a flaming bike thrown at me.
She is BRAND NEW to GMing. I don't think it's fair to ask her to do all that when she's never even GMd before That's why she's using an AP in the first place.

I bet when you hear that intro to Ice Ice Baby, you turn the music up and PRAY it's not Under Pressure
I am a HUGE fan of the 6-player conversion for Kingmaker that's stickied in that thread, and I was wondering if anyone has undertaken an attempt for that with this game? We will be starting this AP this weekend with some friends, and the GM wants to add a sixth player, but doesn't want to unless she can find a conversion similar to the one in Kingmaker (she's a relatively new GM and just doing all that herself would be a handful). I told her I'd hit the boards and ask around...

It's probably because they're required to do the compressions even if they know the guy is 100% dead. Only a doctor can legally pronounce their death, so anyone else in the medical field, until that point, has to do their diligence - even if they know it's pointless. Unless there's like a head missing, you just can't not do it.

I love curry. Thai curry, Chinese curry, Jamaican curry, Indian curry - I love them all.
If I could eat nothing but curry and cheese I would be a happy man.
If they're tactical, up the tactics of their enemies - don't use the "tactics" block of the NPC enemies; they're generally pretty inferior. Play them just as smart as your PCs are playing against you. Also, give your bosses "villain points" to counteract their hero points.

I do love cheese. So. Much. I never met a cheese I didn't like at least a little. Even that weird soft one that tasted kind of like butter my mom found from France was decent with crackers.
Because we've evolved beyond our primal instincts. We're also naturally ingrained to mount every female we find attractive whether they want it or not, but it doesn't make it a good idea.
I just meant as a habit. Change isn't easy. Change after two decades is next to impossible.
Try doing anything for over 20 years and stopping.
I'm not saying it's the right choice. I'm just sayin it's understandunderstandable.

That's nice. Some cities don't offer that luxury. Taking the bus anywhere in Jacksonville takes like 2 hours, as they only show up about once an hour and usually require at least one transfer.

Maybe they're not getting any lazier, but this is easily the wimpiest generation with the "oh please no free speech on campus, words hurt so dearly" movement.
I'm starting a new game tomorrow with three players out of six brand new to tabletop and excited to play with a nice role play heavy group.
What would you say are the most important things to convey to new players outside of the rules?

Well, like I said cap, I had to scrounge many a site. If you can't find one, make one, I guess.
Yeah, but then you'd take that first every time. I mean, humanoids comprise so much of your challenges. They're everything that isn't a monster! And giants!

I'm more than a little annoyed.
I live in one of the top 20 metropolitan cities in America.
I have gone to the various game stores in town. I've gone to PFS events. I've seen there's a few hundred people that play tabletop here. I see the Meetup site with over 500 members, and yet...
Nobody seems to ever be looking for players. Like, ever. Type in "Jacksonville, Florida" on Gamer Connection and there's like 7 posts, any of them after 2010 are likely to be posted by me, and replied to by nobody. The Meetup I mentioned? Not a reply to anyone looking for a group for - months. Not just for me, for anyone.
PFS events are absolutely packed, but nobody seems to want to meet on the regular outside of that. It's so weird. Those who do? Everyone already knows everyone and it's incredibly cliquey. Seriously, I've bounced in and out of about four groups in the last six years, and 80% of the players were friends of mine I've played with and been in and out of groups of before.
Anyone else experience something similar to that in their neck of the woods?

I really want to get a recumbent bike, motorize it for uphill climbs, add solar panels, and sell my car, but noooooo, that apparently costs thousands of dollars and is something you have to make yourself, or tens of thousands if you order one custom built.
Neveryoumind that its used almost exclusively for the Firefly RPG...
