Hola, Fawtlfolk! Apparently I've not been here in over 3 years. Where does the time go? Edit: Is the top post of the page = naked still a thing?
Damiel is full elf, by the way, not half.
The rest of us recommend getting someone else to rub it for you.
It doesn't have to be living. I just want there to not be so much snow on the ground. Preferably there won't be any, but I'm not holding my breath. EDIT: ...and I realized I missed the joke about 2 seconds after clicking submit. I can see that type of grass pretty much whenever I want.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! ...it snowed. AGAIN. I would like to see grass before Easter.
I'm lobbying for a Pathfinder Spell Compendium or something similar in this thread.
Also agreed on not having core in it. Would free up a lot of pages for the other stuff.
Stephen Hawking has died. Saw that at work last night. Very sad. The world has lost one of the greatest minds of all time.
I have seen geese flying north, then back south, then north again for a month. I think they've been confused. Hopefully the warm weather sticks this time.
Aldi is great over here. I love shopping there, when they actually have the stuff I want. I've stumbled across all sorts of interesting or useful things there that I would never have expected from a grocery store, and their prices are usually low enough to even give Walmart a run for their money sometimes. I wish we had an Aldi here. The closest one is a 3 hour drive. When we were living in Texas, we had started getting most of our groceries there.
I worked at Walmart for the better part of the past decade, so I know the store inside and out, and it is the cheapest place to shop in town unless there's a sale going on.
Yeah, for those kinds of problems NH, I don't blame you. I shop almost exclusively at Walmart though, so if things are that bad, I just take it back for a refund/exchange. Edit: For our toilet paper, we get Cottonelle Ultra. It's not quite as expensive as wiping ourselves with dollar bills, but its worth it.
Well, its not so much that we don't have them as we can't find them. Probably about 30% of the time they wind up in my wife's purse of the month and left in the trunk of the car. About 60% of the time they turn up weeks after we needed them and only 10% are we truly out.
I usually don't have problems with store brands. There are a few things I insist on name brands for. Soda, for one. I only get Sam's Choice if we are broke now. Clothing is another, after having 3 brand new pairs of jeans rip in the same week a decade ago. And toilet paper, because I have to wipe my ass with that single-ply sandpaper enough at work. But stuff like band-aids? Meh. Half the time we don't even have them in the house and I wind up using tissues and duct tape.
38 here.
I would sell you all for two days above 60 degrees. Hell, I'll take above 40.
I've never been to a Disney park, but I've been to Six Flags Over Texas more times than I can count, Six Flags Astroworld once, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg once. I prefer waterparks to amusement parks though.
With Pathfinder 2e on the horizon, is there any chance that we could get a book collecting most/all the spells in 1e in one place? The 3.5 Spell Compendium is still one of the books on my most wanted list, and would much prefer a Pathfinder version. Similar products for other parts of the game (such as feats) would be useful as well, and I'm sure that I'm not the only person longing for these to become a reality. A second Ultimate Equipment collecting what has been published in other books since the first came out would also be very welcome.
So, it took a week of waiting for enough snow to melt, the ground to get to the right consistency of frozen enough not to sink but not so much that the wheels are frozen in the ground, 3 hours of chipping at half frozen mud, and a big truck, but my (good) car is finally not in the ditch anymore.
After reading/listening to the available info so far, unless they bring it back closer to PF1e I will not be switching. I have spent the past 12 years and thousands of dollars on Pathfinder and 3.x products, and cannot bring myself to just throw away that investment. My money will be simply going to buying up what I do not yet own of the current Pathfinder line. The reason I got into Pathfinder in the first place was that I only started gaming in the end days of 3.5, and it was a lot easier to switch to the new system which was compatible with the few books I had already picked up than track down the 70+ 3.x books (not that I don't still want them).
For me, its not so much that I don't have an interest in any of these systems. In fact, I do. PF2 as well. I just have to be realistic about what I have the time and money for. I work 6-7 days a week, overnight. I have played 4 sessions in the past 2 and a half years. I don't want to spend money on books I don't plan on using, and I don't have time to learn a new system.
A wonderfully smutty webcomic about halflings that beyond the porn has a decent plot. Definitely not safe for work. Or home. Or anywhere you suspect eyes other than your own might catch a glimpse of your screen.
So, my thoughts on the edition change, as succinctly as I can put it. After reading/listening to the available info so far, unless they bring it back closer to PF1e I will not be switching. I have spent the past 12 years and thousands of dollars on Pathfinder and 3.x products, and cannot bring myself to just throw away that investment. My money will be simply going to buying up what I do not yet own of the current Pathfinder line.
I've been through seven editions of D&D (conservatively), at least seven editions of Traveller, half a dozen editions of Champions, three editions of Mutants and Masterminds, four editions of Twilight Imperium and more editions of Diplomacy than I can count. I bought so many 2e boxed sets I could ballast a cargo ship with them. Please, tell me more about how your vast trove of Pathfinder stuff is now just sitting on your shelves, useless and forgotten... Not all of us have been through as many edition changes as you, Tarondor. I've been through one, 3.5 to Pathfinder. I know many who started with Pathfinder. And for many of those previous edition changes, there wasn't the digital component. For most of this hobby's lifespan, there was always the option to sell your old stuff to fund the upgrade to the new edition. In this era of PDFs and other digital content such as Hero Lab, that option is not there for many. It is true that many gamers hold on to their books just to have them, but plenty sell.
So, I carried my laptop into my wife with the PF2 announcement pulled up, somewhat heartbroken....and she goes"ooooooooo" and smiles, then asks if it's going to cost anything.
Can I just say that I can't stand that new font for the logo? I realize that is probably just more unnecessary negativity, but it really pales in comparison to the old Pathfinder font.
NOOO!!! How dare you replace Damiel as the iconic alchemist! More seriously, I am very apprehensive about this. I understand the game needs to evolve to keep bringing new blood into the game, and to keep driving sales. I went with Pathfinder over 4th edition because it was compatible with 3.5. Now, 10 years later, most of my 3.5 books never get used. So the same thing will likely happen to my PF 1 stuff if I switch to 2nd edition. The difference is the investment I have in Pathfinder vs 3.5. I have maybe a dozen 3.5 books, and about the same in Pathfinder hardcovers. On top of those hardcovers, I have a half dozen APs, just re-upped my subscription for the next couple, and about $500 invested in Hero Lab. That last one is the real killer. Because of that, it is unlikely I will make the change to PF2E without significant pressure from my group.
Dallas itself is miserable. The surrounding area isn't so bad.
I am well aware of how stupidly expensive houses can get in other parts of the country. I grew up in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, and while they have nothing on California, it isn't uncommon for homes to run upwards of $750k.
We just paid off the house! No more rent! Not too many who can say they own their house, free and clear before they turn 35. :) Landlord just has a form to sign when he gets back from Florida, and the deed will be ours. Thank you! Admittedly, the house is old and a bit on the small side, and it needs a lot of work, but it is mine. One of the perks of living in a rural area of South Dakota (not that there is much in the state that isn't rural). We paid $20k plus interest over the past 6 years. Came out to around $22k with interest. The house is over 100 years old, just under 1,000 square feet, and we have 2 lots of land (somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 an acre).
Busy! Exhausting! Trying not o blue my wind/stamina enough in TKD! You?Hola! How's things?Ivaaaaaaaaaaaan~! ...I am unsure what that means, but okay. Going pretty good other than the whole car stuck in a ditch thing. We just paid off the house! No more rent! Not too many who can say they own their house, free and clear before they turn 35. :) Landlord just has a form to sign when he gets back from Florida, and the deed will be ours.
Ivaaaaaaaaaaaan~! Hola! How's things?
I haven't even tried driving my car yet, still snowing. Mine's been stuck for 2 days now. Happened Sunday when i was trying to leave for work. Turns out that the melting snow turned the slight ditch in the yard to pudding, and I got stuck. Borrowed my in-laws' van to go to work with plans on getting it out with my father in-law's truck later. Then the blizzard hit, and we literally cannot drive the block from my in-laws' house to even attempt to get it out.
Hey all. Just came to say, thanks Freehold.
Happy New Year, Fawtlfolk! I hope everyone's 2017 was better than mine.
Merry Christmas, Fawtlfolk!
Thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I just feel broken right now. Tears have stopped coming for me, though I don't want them to. We hopefully get to go home today. We will find out in a few hours. My son's obituary can be found here.
Hello everyone. I know it's been a long time since I was an active member here. I made a couple of half-hearted attempts the past year to jump back in, but merely resulted in a post or 2 essentially boiling down to "what's up guys". I know I was never really close enough to anyone here to truly call them a friend, but once upon a time several of you I'd consider a regular and enjoyable acquaintance and thought you deserve know the tragedy that has befallen my family. On Monday August 21st, at 1:16 PM CST, my son, Dean Edward Matthew Slade, was stillborn. He was planned to be brought into this world in just a couple of weeks on September 5th. As of this past Thursday, everything appeared perfectly normal, and he was healthy. Sometime Sunday night or early Monday morning, the placenta detached and sac filled with blood. Usually, there is some external bleeding when this occurs, but there was none. As such, despite the pain she was in, my wife held out until I got home from work. We rushed to the hospital. My wife could still feel him moving during the drive, but by the time we got to the hospital he was gone. We were told that the odds of such a thing happening with no blood showing is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 in 50 million. I myself am not particularly religious, but much of my family including my wife is, so I'd just like to ask for those that are to keep us in your prayers. Thank you. EDIT: At this time we are not asking for any donations or anything like that. Funeral costs are covered. If you would like to donate something as a gesture, our favored charities are the Children's Miracle Network and Ronald McDonald House. Both helped us tremendously when our daughter was born 3 years ago.
Things are turning for the better. 2016 was probably one of the worst years I've had in the past decade, hence my long absence. I'll give a bit of an update later, but for now I've gotta get ready for work.
Week and a half late, but Happy New Year, FaWtLfolk!
Rise of the Runelords: Goblins, ghouls, ogres, stone giants, themed dungeon, lost city.
Sounds like someone should toss mom in the pool; then the kids would be having fun. So apparently my earlier post was post number 1000 for me, including all aliases. Well, thanks for the sympathy guys. Time for me to hit the hay; work tonight.
Odd thought; how does one go about brewing in zero gravity? Certainly the station will have some sort of artificial gravity, but if it fails? Ivan must have his vodka!
Need to vent.
skip over if you want; not looking to bring people down:
This past week has sucked. First, my sister-in-law ditched out on finishing her character for the new campaign to go to the water park. Next we end up so broke because we forgot to cancel a movie club order that we had to borrow money so I could make it to work. We did get a hold of customer service and cancel it, but the money had already come out and didn't show back up until today, which is unhelpful since I got paid today. And my wife wound up with a severe UTI. But far and away the worst thing to happen was finding one of our cats dead in our landlords yard. She was in heat and ran out a few weeks ago. We'd seen her around but were unable to catch her. She did the same thing a couple years ago and came back home after about a month. Wednesday at about noon was when we found her. She was next to the road so she may have been hit, but there was no obvious impact trauma. And on more than one occasion my landlord has said he will kill any cats that go in his yard. I wouldn't put it past him to have poisoned her, but I don't want to get tangled in a legal battle with the person I'm buying my house from, especially not knowing for sure what happened. My wife is taking it very hard; this one had claimed her. This is the 4th cat she's lost in 5 years; one was due to old age, and the other 2 to illness (meds didn't help), and now this which is really hard because we didn't have a chance to prepare ourselves. In happier news, I discovered the joy that is d20monkey and binged through their entire archive. Also I am no longer broke. Yet. The wife is going grocery shopping later so that might not last the day.
...I approve.
Honestly, I thought it was attempt at a Pinkie Pie reference. Well, g'night all. Work tonight, so must sleep.
Well, older kids. 14 year old brother and 16 year old sister. They're mature enough that I wouldn't mind having them become part of our core group eventually. If I can ever not feel awkward talking to them the same way I do my friends. I can be (ok am) a foul mouthed SOB when I'm hanging out. And the generational gap is there. They are still younger than I was when they were born. But yes, gaming with them shall prove to be great fun I'm sure. So, in other news, I think I'm becoming a closet brony after watching most of the series with my daughter over the past few months.
I would have to see Gravity Falls to get the reference, and unless they put it on Netflix, I'm unlikely to anytime soon since I don't have cable.
Hola, FaWtLfolk! What's up? So, weirdly for me, Facebook devoured most of my internet time the past few months, and YouTube ate most of the rest. Gaming has started again! For the first time since August! I'm starting up a RotRL game for my wife's siblings. Character generation was (mostly) last Saturday, finishing up tomorrow. Running We Be Goblins as a prequel. Should be interesting. This will be their first "real" game. I ran the Beginner's Box adventure for them 2 years ago, and they loved it, but they are usually so involved with sports that we never had time to play. This summer neither is involved with anything (unfortunately one is due to medical issues, but its minor; sprained knee, has to take it easy for a few weeks), so we get to play.
