Nine years ago, I adopted a cat who was hurt by a car. The veterinarians were going to put him to sleep, but as he lay there, mangled and bloody and awaiting the needle, he began to purr when the vet touched him. The vets decided then to save him and sent him into surgery. His right front leg was amputated and his back right leg had a steel rod inserted, assuring that it would never again bend below his hip. The humane society put an ad in the paper looking for someone to adopt and I responded. That was one of the best decisions that I've ever made. I put antibacterial on his wounds, massaged his leg to make sure it got blood flow, and kept his steel rod from getting caught on everything (it actually stuck out from his skin), until the day that the surgeons removed it. The following years were full of some really good times and some really terrible, terrible times. There were days when I felt that I did'nt have a friend in the world. But the one constant was that Mervin was always happy when he saw me. That meant alot to me. There are so many stupid little things that I'm going to miss. I'm going to miss not being able to read a newspaper without a cat plopping down on it. I'm going to miss not being be able to open a tin can without hearing hearing a plaintive meow. And I'm going to miss my warm ball of fur that goes to bed whenever I do and wakes up when I do, no matter the hour.

So in short, If you have a pet, pet them and love them today, for me. Because today, I cannot do so.


I don't think it works that way


..or "How I learned how to stop worrying and love the zombie apocalypse."


The scenario that almost came up this weekend was thus: BBEG is hiding with project image up. Paladin uses his aura to grant everyone within 10' his smite ability. Everyone declares BBEG's image as smite target. Now say that upon tussling with the BBEG, everyone makes their disbelief save. Is the Smite now wasted? Or does it carry over to the actual BBEG? How would you rule?


Help me out fellow Savage Tiders! Im working ahead a bit, and noticed all the empty cells in the fiendish prison. I ask of you to help me come up with some really evil, Hostel-ish window dressings for the PC's to find. I want them to really hate Demogorgon even more after this. (and if I can get any evil pc's to maybe think about their life choices, so much the better.)

What's everyone's thoughts on the new National Defense Authorization Act?

Personally, I kind of always knew that our freedoms would end, not with a bang, but with bi-partisan support.

roll call

That takes care of our 5th and 6th Amendments. Patriot Act took care of our 4th. Tonight, there will be a vote for SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act), which should seriously cut into our 1st.

Thoughts?

Now the President of the United States may waive your first, fifth and sixth amendment rights, and may have you killed without a shred of due process. It has been talked about before in this adminstration, but now they have succeeded. I do not think this is a good thing. Thoughts?

Article here. There is an embedded video too that is good on the article.


In honor of the Luke Skywalker vs Harry Potter thread, I offer some more fight suggestions.

Uncle Jesse from Dukes of Hazzard vs Uncle Jesse from Full House

Bob Seager vs Bob Sagat

Discuss or post your own!

Anyone here from Indiana? Please tell me that there is a huge protest planned.


Please discuss.


He's got my vote


Just wondering if anyone Pathfinderized the Totemic Demonslayer prestige class and, if so, whether they would be willing to share?


Also,
5. Kyuss should know every tactic that the PCs use. All those kyuss worshippers that the pcs have been fighting have been Kyuss' familiars. So most definitely make sure that Kyuss has access to spells that fit his flavor but arent easily blocked by common pc tactics. (Death Ward, anyone?)

I also want to add that this AP was a blast and Ive enjoyed running it (3 years and 2 weeks!). It was a great learning experience, and I am greatly anticipating applying what I've learned to Savage Tide in a few months. (I need a break.) Also, This was my groups last dance with the 3.5 rules and I think its a fitting send-off that they basically won DnD by killing a god and retiring and all. Pathfinder, Here we come. Finally, one of the highlights of the last session was collaborating with each player and telling the story of what each character does in their retirement.

So after 3+ years, 21 character levels, and many many character deaths, Age of Worms, I salute you!


Anyone here play this on the PS3? Im tired of everyone on my team being complete morons and constantly dying and/or standing in front of me right when I try to aim.


So, my group is getting set to head into the fissure and I redo all my NPCs to account for spell compendium and Complete ---- books. So, Thesselar's fight seems kinda like a walkover to me. So I added a greater shadesteel golem (MM3) standing atop a symbol of death in Thess's room. He has Craft Construct, might as well put it to use!

My dilemma is thus: I traded his forge ring for Craft Contingent Spell from Complete Arcane. I figure this guy is an ancient powerful lich, he should be prepared for anything! So I got 20 contigent spells to work with, any suggestions from the community?


Anyone out there who plays Dnd 3.5 or pathfinder in the Altoona/Hollidaysburg area? If so, let me know.

My group (7 pcs level 15-16) have just recovered the Hand of Vecna from Darl on Last Resort and I'm pretty sure that they want to destroy the Artifact before continuing on with the AP. However, I've been having writer's block and am asking the boards for some good artifact destroying quest ideas.

Also as a side note, I own most Dungeon magazines from #66 ish onward, so if theres a good easily convertable adventure in one of them, let me know. Thank you in advance!


Where exactly does Loris store the froghemoth and other giant beasts for use in the games? My group hasn't asked me yet, but they are almost done exploring the understructure and I know it's gonna come up. Any ideas would be appreciated.
