Tiny Tina's page

Well I have classes so I will be off now. See you guys later.

Hey Tina, have you seen this thread?

Of course I have. I just refuse to prove I exist. :) Seriously though, my digital camera is on the fritz, so all I have is my FB profile picture.

Go to sleep Flash! Dream of happy things, like me.

The same doesn't hold true for online discussion forums such as Paizo's. If there was a discussion wherein the original poster asked people who loved playing monopoly to chime in, almost invariably, within the first few posts, we would see someone saying how much they disliked monopoly.

I just had this happen with a thread I started. I asked for some ways to talk to my fellow players about trying 4E and the third comment in the thread was "don't try." It seems like some people just have a love of their own "voice" even if they have nothing to add to the conversation.

I have tried to point out that there are still a lot less options then a 3.5 spellcaster, but they don't like having to turn to the book every round to look up what their power dies.

Our group discovered that printing out "Power Sheets" for each character took a lot of the pain out of this process. Everyone had a cheat sheet that listed their character's powers and full descriptions along with their character sheet. I believe these are built-in to the WotC DDI character sheet generator program that they have on their website. Of course, you have to have a DDI subscription to use it. You could also just photocopy the relevant pages out of the book.

Our DM has offered to photocopy the pages. Doesn't the character generator have a level 1-3 free preview?

If they've had a bad experience, you shouldn't try to sell them on it.

James I understand your point, but it's not helpful. I asked for positive suggestions not negative ones.

I undestand that can be a problem. I grew up as a sort of nomad so I never had that hang up. Did I ever tell you about the guy I met at SUU that bragged about having never been farther than 50 miles from Cedar City in 40 years?

No, but that sounds like a funny story.

The problem they have had is that combat is unwieldy for them with all the powers and such. I have tried to point out that there are still a lot less options then a 3.5 spellcaster, but they don't like having to turn to the book every round to look up what their power dies. None of them have anything invested in 3.5, they all mooch off our DM, and they all play video games like DotA and WoW when they are not playing D&D.

As long as they are treated equally under the law and allowed to marry whom they love then I'm all for it.

I'm against the whole "third gender" thing. I am still a woman even if I am a lesbian. My gender is as much a part of who I am as my sexuality is.

Let me preface by saying I am gay myself. I am also against gay marriage, because if they make it legal I have to listen to my mom pester me about "when are you going to get married." Getting her to stop was the whole reason I came out to her. :)

Plus, I'm kinda nervous because I have never been more than a day's drive away from my mom in my life.

How long are you supposed to be over there?

From the 3rd of May until the 14th of August.

Well for one, Christina and I just watched Taken the other day. I know it's just a movie, but it has me a little wierded out. Also, Christina wouldn't be able to go and I'm not sure I want us to be apart for that long.

I would like to convince my group to switch to 4E. I have already talked to our DM and he is okay with the idea I just need to sell my group on it. How would you argue in favor of 4E to convince a few people who have had a bad experience with it to give the game another try?

Hi guys, sorry I have been away for so long. I have a problem and maybe you guys can give me some advice. I was invited to spend the summer doing a study abroad program in Paris studying art history and psychology. However I'm not sure if I should go or not. What do you guys think?

It seems my post disappeared.

Have you looked at my ugly mug? I'm sure you've nothing to fear.

Well I don't have any here except my FB picture.

Not to sound blond, but what's a sock puppet? I assume its not what we made in preschool.

Ty, yep she's my hoodlum And just because I had it on flickrMy wife and raven with her elf hat

Very cute.

What's a sock puppet? I'm serious, I've never heard the term except for when we made them in preschool.

Fun stuff.

I'm with you.

But the secret is understanding why he did it.

LOL, hubby is trying to convince me to simply wear the sign with the date. :\

I think I can do the Tink shirt. I have like 10...which one would ya like?

Both sounds like a good plan.

a cephalopod/dragon/slaad mix,

When I first read this I thought it said a cephalopod/racoon/slaad mix.

Wow, it looks like this place blew up while I was gone. Lab did not blow up thankfully. Next up is my Criminal Psych final in 20 minutes.

Okay, so I'm off to my chemistry lab final. I'm so nervous I'm afraid I'll blow something up. Wish me luck.

Can we get one hundred before lunch time?

Why would we want to do that?

Wow, this is growing faster than expected.

Snark is fun?

Yes, yes it is. And this is supposed to be a fun thread.

You could call it Banana and we'd all still just sit there with our mouths hanging open, stupid grins on our faces, and too awestruck by your hawtness to challenge you. ;)

Sorry babe, you are too low tier for me.

It has a lot of consonants.

What are those? :)

Breath Patrick, breath.

Post Away.

My gut says they wouldn't take kindly to it, but then I figured "Which Paizo employees have you slept with?" would get shut down quickly too, when in fact it stuck around until it just ran out of steam. So one never really knows...

I'll do it.

Better how, Tina? (The how/for what is the center of my point.)

Maybe more appropriate is a more apt term then better.

Patrick, here's why your arguments (and Tina's and Fryer's) are mirror images of the futile argumentation of the side you're arguing against:

You are right. Let me try this. Pathfinder is really WoW! It's meant to be played by munchkins! Run while you still can, they are coming for your books! D&D is dead! Dig as deep as you can so that you will be safe when the sky falls! The trolls are coming! The trolls are coming! Is that better?

I just about died laughing. Thanks, that was a good one. :D

Bows Thank you.

Maur, Tell me if this is better.

Where did you hear that? I've had pizza of all shapes and arrangements in Italy. That might be a local law in one particular city or locality - that wouldn't surprise me, I suppose.[/threadjack]

This

Ahh. So it's only a proposal at this point. That would explain the disconnect.

It appears that way.

You aren't the only one.

I need a nap.

*sigh*

OK, let me try to convey what I am trying to say here:

*Bullet points*

• I don't care what you call the game, but legally it's 'Pathfinder'. Please don't tell me you are going to 'correct' me, as this implies I am in error.
• I personally feel that clinging to the brand name 'D&D' only pisses off 4E folks needlessly and conveys an image that we are small-minded and need to cling to said acronym like a woobie blankie.
• When explaining it to people who don't play TTRPGs, I say it is based on D&D rules, which is the truth.
• Calling it 'real' D&D is uneccesary flametrolling, and isn't it just about time for the Edition Wars to be penned in the dead book? By calling it 'real' D&D you are implying that 4E is 'fake' D&D.
• I understand that lots of people have a lot of time and effort invested in the brand 'D&D', but it's time to let go. IT IS JUST A NAME.
• Obviously, I am not going to win this fight, too many bad feelings, too many people's identities tied up the brand name. Just don't piss down my back and tell me its raining. Pathfinder isn't the 'real' D&D. It is a game derived from OGL D&D rules. There is a difference, whether you want to see it or not.

Oh and Mairkurion{tm}?

** spoiler omitted **

Are you trying to get spanked, monkey boy?

You do make a valid point though.

Yeah, it happens sometimes.

Here Damn, I got sucked in too.

You can make a pizza square or triangular, but as long as you use the same ingredients, no matter how you call it, it will still be pizza.

Except that the word pizza is not a trademarked brand name. Dungeons and Dragons is.
