<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>Hope you have a good conference</span> </blockquote><p>Funny: The educator who is coming in from the UK is an American Educator who teachers kids at the US Bases there (ie US schools based out of the various Military installations throughout the world to service the US Dependents of servicemen and women who take their families with them to assignments).
<p>Though this does remind me of a funny post I saw running around:</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote><p>To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen... Elizabeth II:</p>
<p>( Not meant for those lacking a sense of humor, and or those that refuse to read a note in its entirety before making a comment)</p>
<p>In light of your immediate failure to financially manage yourselves and also in recent years your tendency to elect incompetent Presidents of the USA and therefore not able to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)</p>
<p>Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas , which she does not fancy).</p>
<p>Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.</p>
<p>Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated sometime next year to determine whether any of you noticed.</p>
<p>To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:</p>
<p>1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.'Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary'). (I love that one)</p>
<p>Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.' ' (I love that one too)</p>
<p>3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.</p>
<p>4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse.</p>
<p>5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.</p>
<p>6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.</p>
<p>7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.)</p>
<p>8.You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.</p>
<p>9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. New Zealand beer is also acceptable, as New Zealand is pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.</p>
<p>10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.</p>
<p>11. You will cease playing American football. There are only two kinds of proper football; one you call soccer, and rugby (dominated by the New Zealanders). Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).</p>
<p>12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America . Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the Australians (World dominators) first to take the sting out of their deliveries.</p>
<p>13. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.</p>
<p>14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).</p>
<p>15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.</p>
<p>God Save the Queen!</blockquote><p>Captain Brittannica wrote:Madam,

Our goal is for participants to recognize our interconnectedness, acknowledge and explore the intersectionality of institutional racism and institutional homophobia so we can stand together against societal injustices. it is important that we recognize how different identities intersect and affect an individual's reality in lived experiences, shaping their perspectives, worldview, and relationships with others.

I am so proud and excited that in spite of all the turmoil regarding community rights and procedures, I have to say that California is doing it right. The rules and regulations to support and protect our LGBTQ+ students and staff are firmly embedded in State law, and the support mechanisms are being built and enforced throughout districts in the state. Even in rural conservative areas of the state, the CTA (California Teachers Union)is strongly working to ensure that they are implemented, supporting our fellow teachers, staff and students who are coming out and/or going through transitions.
<br />
This is such a change from 30 years ago when I went through my own transition, and I wondered if I would ever work again in a technical field or be able to rent or own a home, or have a spouse.
<br />
My students know are so blaze about so many of the issues that I was scared to death about.
<br />
I am glad that many of these support structures are in place for our new generation, and I believe that in spite of the attack from the Federal Executive level of government, I believe that we shall stand and overcome.
<br />
Part of why, maybe I am optimistic today was to see that even in as conservative state as Alabama, where I went to Jr High and much of High School, that change can happen, and we can resist and overcome.</p>Just had a wonderful weekend with 250 LGBTQ+ educators and allies in San Jose., CA.

<br />
We were going over agenda items of things we would like to see talked by the state union BOD, and I added an item to have our state union start to develop a more detailed plan of action and guidelines on how to help our members who are anticipating or going through transition on the job at our various school districts.
<br />
I enforced that I have always been disappointed that it seems that each person who goes through transition or comes out at a job within the state always seems to have to re-invent the wheel and always feels alone.
<br />
I was informed that we offer many legal and other support services for our members, and if they are put in contact with our state diversity team, they are able to get guidance.
<br />
I pushed back that this is rather reactive, and that many members and chapters never know about this and am asking for better publication and centralization of resources that our Union offers to our members regarding this issue.
<br />
I understand that this is an evolving target each year, but that is what we pay our dues for, and it happens too often to remain reactive.

I was successful in adding it to the list. Now to see how far I can drive it forward.</p>I got to go to my first GLBT+ advisory committee meeting on Friday for the State Union.

<br />
This was a very active year regarding TG and LGTBQ rights in schools and the workplace. A number of new Business Items were passed during the assembly:</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote><br />
<br />
New Business Item 54
<br />
Action:
<br />
Adopted As Modified</p>
<p>NEA will encourage all state and local affiliates to use existing means of communication to promote developmentally appropriate resources that help all educators support gender equality and safety in our schools such as, but not limited to, “Building a Gender Friendly School Environment: A Toolkit for Educators and Their Union,” from Education International.This resource can be found at https://download.ei-ie.org/docs/IRIS Documents/EI%20Campaigns/EFAIDS%20Programme/2007-00169-01-E.pdf.
<br />
Rationale/Background</p>
<p>Students learn much about their gender identity in our schools and the issue of gender identity is closely connected to gender equality and safety. All educators need a toolkit of resources to build an overall gender-friendly school environment.</p>
<p>New Business Item 57
<br />
Action:</p>
<p>NEA will encourage all state and local affiliates to use valid and existing resources to provide transgender and gender nonconforming awareness training for faculty, staff, and administrators such as, but not limited to, “The Teaching Transgender Toolkit: A Facilitator’s Guide to Increasing Knowledge, Decreasing Prejudice & Building Skills.” This resource can be found at http://www.teachingtransgender.org.
<br />
Rationale/Background</p>
<p>Most educators do not receive training or support in transgender awareness and it is not fair to assume that they will arrive at their schools with the skills they need to work effectively with youth from these communities.</p>
<p>New Business Item 60
<br />
Action:
<br />
Adopted As Modified</p>
<p>NEA will provide all state and local affiliates with existing model language developed jointly by Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and the National Center for Transgender Equity focused on district policy on transgender and gender nonconforming students that our school boards can adopt. This resource can be found at: http://www.glsen.org/sites/default/files/GLSEN%20Trans%20Model%20Policy%201 6_0.pdf.
<br />
Rationale/Background</p>
<p>State and local affiliates need policy language that reduces the stigmatization of and improves the educational integration of transgender and gender nonconforming students to further the successful educational development and well-being of every student.
<br />
</blockquote><p>So out of 125 new business items presented to the assembly, three were directly related to our community, and passed overwhelmingly in the Representative Assembly of Teachers and Educations from throughout the US.
<p>I was very proud to represent California in this assembly and see the progress we are making and hope to see these issues percolate throughout the US, and hopefully become standard throughout our schools and educational establishments throughout the US.</p>Recently attended the NEA (National Education Association) Representative Assembly in Washington DC.

It was 5 years before I returned home after my transition, and it was slow going to start with.

My mom still makes mistakes when she is talking about me to friends, but it is neither malicious or intentional.

Though she makes the same mistake when talking about my partner also, and my sister had to get on her case about this "Mom you never knew her before, why do you say him?"

I have had a number of friends who have been harassed, stalked, blackmailed and attacked this past week. Issues have involved dead names, former family, political activism, coming out about current and former mental conditions and seeking treatments, and attempts to help out and educate about much of the hate and discrimination that occurs on a daily basis in many minority or under represented groups out in society.
<br />
Non of my friends are hateful people, people who use violence to promote agendas, nor place their past into people faces, but instead are quiet advocates who while not in the closet, do not evangelize, rather performing quiet and helpful mentoring, and sharing of their own past to those who ask in order to help and guide the next generation and promote positive understanding of what they went through and to hopefully minimize the trauma of those who are still going through or facing those issues.</p>
<p>I know I am being cryptic, but the issues they share about are so diverse: Cancer, depression, gender dysphoria, transexualism, homosexuality, women's issues, etc.</p>
<p>This is part of what saddens me, the general attitude of the privileged majority that think it is ok to treat people like dirt, making snide comments in response to their posts, and their activities. They cry out that 'you should just stay in the closet', 'how dare you flaunt who you are', 'be a good little drone and stay out of my sight', 'your existence harshes my buzz', 'how dare you...' and the list goes on.</p>
<p>What right does anyone have to say that you shouldn't exist? And that their way is the only right and normal way to exist?</p>
<p>I could list all these friends names now, but the list would be long, but know that every one of you going through this garbage, that I feel blessed to have you as a friend, and that I and Tara love and support you against all the asshats of the world. You can count on us to believe in you and support you, now and in the future!</p>

<p>These groups would volunteer with our LA Pride festival as a way to raise funds, and place those funds back into the local groups in need (whether that was for homeless youths, for LGBT soup kitchens & Pantries), and for many other activities that you would expect from charitable organizations.

<p>Originally CSW/LA had purchased a house to turn it into a retirement home for the LGBT community. But due to the overwhelming crisis of AIDS, the house was turned into a hospice for those suffering from that plague.</p>

<br />
I was fortunate that insurance paid for my primary surgery back in the 80s. Having an insurance company was a crap shoot back then, and often times, required massive correspondence and negotiations
<br />
I believe that many instances back then depended on a combination of which insurance company you had, and the company you worked for.
<br />
I had many delays and scary moments when I did not believe that the insurance company would ever approve, but I actually had a very good agent at the company office who sheparded it through some of the tight spots, and I had great guidance from several sisters at the time, who were going through the process at the same time.
<br />
Sister Mary Elizabeth out of Southern California was a major advocate at the time, and her research and guidance helped many a time.
<br />
At the time many Transwomen needed from around $15,000 to cover surgeries without insurance. This was 1985 dollars, so I know those costs have only risen since then.
<br />
This did not cover peoples usual living expenses and continuing medical costs that women go through.
<br />
Side procedures are seldom covered by any insurance, even today. Look at what Jenner has decided to go through: Electrolysis, adams apple shaving, moving of her hairline, and facial reconstruction. Most women, I don't care who or what your background is, can afford all of these procedures.
<br />
Many of these procedures can be avoided if a woman begins her transition earlier in life. It is good to not have to reverse the poisoning effects on Testosterone on you body if you can.
<br />
But for many to do that at that age would require the consent and support of parents or guardians, something few are willing to do.</p>
<p>For many of us, we are told what we should be doing, and who we are, whether that is "Your gay", "Your a Transvestite", "Your just going through a phase"</p>
<p>There are many sacrifices that we all go through. And not all are willing or able to make those sacrifices. Some wait till they have and raise children, some wait till a significant person in their life is gone, some wait till they achieve financial security. The desperation of the individual and the internal dysphoria drives you to the point where you can no longer wait. The individual has to make that choice of how much they must suffer before they must make changes.</p>
<p>I have had friends who sacrificed more than I did, and I have had friends who have sacrificed less. No ones can say that their sacrifice was harder or easier than another, but none of them have left themselves unmarked.</p>
<p>It always break my heart when the pain of an individual becomes more than they can bear, and they make a choice that ends their life, life the young girl in Cincinnati. Ohio is a hard state, but it saddens me that she wasn't able to find support, when I know personally of several support groups in that area, and even in that city. No one should ever be pushed so hard that they believe their only choice is to remove their own life.</p>
<p>anyways, off the soapbox.
<br />

<p>I can't recall who made the comments I was referring to. They were all long ago. I have heard contradictory things through the media presented as fact. And I have heard one transwoman interviewed who regarded the surgery she had undergone as not needed. But one person's views don't tell you anything about a population.</p>
<p>Even if the Swiss study is right about the suicide rate in post operative trans women, it may well be lower than the rate in pre-operative trans women. </p>
<p>Good luck with the insurance company. </blockquote><p>JJ,

My sister talked to me about it, and we shared our thoughts on all of this talk going around, and the level of support that Jenner is receiving from the general public is amazing.
<br />
Back in the day when I went through transition, things weren't so accepting. I moved across country to avoid my own family. My brothers both spoke about tracking me down, and kidnapping me, and beating sense into me. If they had done so, I doubt that many in the Midwest community would have felt sorry for me and would have had empathy for my brothers instead.
<br />
When I had come out to one of my brothers (the one I believed was more liberal), he threatened to kill me, stating that the shame of killing a 'brother' would be less than I would be putting my family through.
<br />
It took 5 years after my transition before I felt safe enough to visit my family in the midwest. It has been slow, but my own successful transition was what probably made my family become accepting of who I am, without much help from my family.
<br />
Finding a partner in life is what helped me get through my transition.
<br />
30 years of life after trump 25 years of pain.
<br />
I am always proud to see little brothers and sisters achieve their potential, and hope that the path that I and others travelled before have made their lot in life easier.
<br />
We are all not there yet, but it is better than it ever was before. I hope for success and peace to Caitlyn, and to all you youngsters.
<br />
This is what those of us who marched on Washington in the 80s, and all the street parades throughout the US and the world always hoped for.
<br />
My partner and I had our 27th anniversary this year. I hope the same happiness for all of you.</p>All this publicity about Jenner is interesting.

What a weird, strange trip it has been and what a great ride!! As part of the original 13 VC crew appointed by Paizo in September of 2010, we all had large geographic areas and large expectations. Here in Los Angeles, we jumped into our local gaming conventions of ORCCON/GATEWAY/GAMEX and we squeezed out two tables from the Organized play area of the convention. Over the years we have added, and carved out our own dedicated area, with over 85 PFS tables each convention, making for 3 weekends of four days of non-stop PFS gaming throughout the year. We have had a number of stores joining us with regular gamedays: Game Ogre, The Warhouse, Comic Quest, Game Empire, The Realm, Socal Games and Comics, Seth’s Gaming Stores in Ventura, Thou Shalt Game in Temecula, Pathfinder Online Gaming Collective, Aerohobbies, Brookhurst Hobbies, Dicehouse Games, Emerald Knights, GMI Games and Collecibles, Knight Ware Inc, Pair A Dice Games & Commics, the Last Genadier, Third Planet, and a number of other current and past stores throughout Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Los Angeles County and Ventura County. We were a huge region covering many players and many stores.
<br />
Our Volunteer crew grew and I received excellent support from my Venture Lt crew: Brian Darnell, Preston Poulter, Jon-Enee Merriex, Mark Dorrough, Nicholas Milasich, Frank Perkins and Ron Feldman. The Store Owners, GMs, store Coordinators and Volunteers made my job a joy: Don Collins, Eric Collins, Bruce Higa, Grant Gaines, and so many others, that I know I could not and have not listed them all, have made this a dynamic and growing region and just because I did not list your name, does not mean that your help was unappreciated nor overlooked. I could not have built this region without each and every one of you.
<br />
So what does this mean for the future of the LA Grand Lodge? Due to the growth of the region, and the number of stores and an expanding number of conventions, and events; the region shall be splitting into two new regions: Jon-Enee Merriex the current VL of Long Beach shall be stepping up and coordinating the region of Los Angeles County and coordinating with the Los Angeles Gaming Conventions to continue their run of games, reformulating the Grand Lodge throughout the area. Ron Feldman, VL of Orange County shall be stepping up and taking charge of a new Grand Lodge of Orange County and the Inland Empire, helping the expanding number of stores and conventions that are happening in Anaheim and the Greater Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino Counties). I know they will be stepping up and introducing themselves and their new staff (Venture Lts and Store Coordinators).
<br />
Both Ron and Jon-Enee shall be appointing new Venture Lts to help them in their expanded roles and to continue to provide coverage for the play base here in Southern California. And I know that the surrounding Grand Lodges of Northern California and San Diego will continue to support them in their efforts to service the player base of California and the Western United States. I always felt blessed by the support of the surrounding Grand Lodges and Venture Officers who would often join us in the area, coming down to both play and GM in the local events, and I know that the close relationship between the entire PFS community in Southern California shall continue.
<br />
Let it be known that I will miss serving with and coordinating events with all of you, and while I will be taking a break, I am not leaving the community and look forward to playing at many of your tables, and continuing to GM a few tables in the future. I love the Southern California gaming community and want to see what is best for the community, while I continue to take care of personal matters and spend more time with my family.</p>It is with sad feelings that I submit my resignation as Venture Captain of the LA Grand Lodge.

It’s why we speak out against the deplorable anti-Semitism that has resurfaced in certain parts of the world. It’s why we continue to reject offensive stereotypes of Muslims — the vast majority of whom share our commitment to peace. That’s why we defend free speech, and advocate for political prisoners, and condemn the persecution of women, or religious minorities, or people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. We do these things not only because they’re right, but because they make us safer.</blockquote><p>This is the first time I have ever heard a sitting president talk about the basic human rights of the LGBTQ community by name!!

It’s why we continue to reject offensive stereotypes of Muslims...Jessica half Orc Pistoliero (alias of miniaturepeddler)2015-01-22T02:53:18ZRe: Forums: Product Discussion: [Rite Publishing] Perram's Spellbook: Magus Spellcards (PFRPG)miniaturepeddlerhttps://paizo.com/threads/rzs2rpqq?Rite-Publishing-Perrams-Spellbook-Magus#42015-01-21T04:06:22Z2015-01-21T04:06:22Z<p>Are you going to do the rest of Perrams card lists?</p>Are you going to do the rest of Perrams card lists?miniaturepeddler2015-01-21T04:06:22ZRe: Forums: Local Play: ORCCON 2015 - Presidents day weekend - Los Angeles, CA 4 days of gamingminiaturepeddlerhttps://paizo.com/threads/rzs2ru42?ORCCON-2015-Presidents-day-weekend-Los#32015-01-02T20:06:56Z2015-01-02T20:06:56Z<p>Updated new on the silent auction/Charity Scenario GM'd by Mike Brock on Sunday: The scenario shall be 0-10 Blood at Dalkard Manor!!

<p>As you know Pathfinder at Strategicon gets bigger and bigger every year and as of Gamex, this growth has caused us to start using a new GM assignment system. Gamex was very successful, we had great reviews about the con, an ESPECIALLY the quality of GMs. We hope this scheduling system was part of that, and we believe it successful enough to use it again for Gateway.</p>

<p>A year or two later, I started seeing actual d10s with 10 sides (amazing... but violating the Platonic purity of our dice collection....), dice that had the numbers pre-inked, d20s with two-digit numbers, semi-transparent pretty colored dice, pretty swirly dice, etc. Kids had it so easy.... </blockquote><p>Actually I remember the LGS selling wax pencils of different colors so that people could differentiate the ones from the tens of those twenty sided dice.

<p>Wednesday (All Day)
<br />
Thursday (morning and Afternoon - I have con activities starting at 7pm)</p>
<p>My preference is to make the Seattle sabbatical on Wednesday, since I do not have to report in or be anywhere at a particular time.</p>

<p>Is this good for anyone?</p>
<p>So: Wednesday, 9am
<br />
Meet at Hotel Lobby/bar
<br />
If we have a driver, then we will utilize that, if we don't then we will take the light rail transit.</p>
<p>Agenda:
<br />
Downtown: Farmers Market/Space Needle
<br />
Parks: Olympic park (if we have not private transportation)
<br />
Discovery Park (if we have private transportation)</p>

<p>Brian is one of the Venture Lieutenants in the Southern California Region, running many games not only in his hometown in Riverside California, but traveling throughout Southern California; San Bernadino, Los Angeles County, Orange County and San Diego Counties.</p>
<p>I cannot say enough great things about Brian, so I will quote just one of the recommendations that I received on Brian:</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote><p>Brian is a wonderful storyteller with a deep understanding of the history, politics and lore of the Inner Sea region. While GMing, that knowledge is on full display and as he uses it to help tell a compelling story. Rolling a knowledge check with Brian is always a joy because not only do you get the box text, you get the context of where that box text comes from. He explains the location of the scenario so well that it gives players a firm grasp on what they are doing, where they are and why.</p>
<p>Brian also has a clear perception of the core rules of the game. In the few instances where he is unsure of a rule (and player doesn't know the proper rule either), he is very good about choosing speed and fun over accuracy. This keeps the game moving at a brisk clip without slowing down. But he's also willing to bend when needed. Allowing the player to look up the rule in question and adjusting as needed.</p>
<p>Brian's table management techniques are so refined, players never feel rushed. He ran through Murder's Mark in just over 6 hours (a feat I've yet to be able to do) and one of his players commented afterward: "I had assumed this was a single slot game that just ran a little long. Now I can play another game too! It was awesome". </p>
<p>Finally, Brian is a fun and interactive character while in the GM seat. NPCs he portrays are always vibrant and full of life. They have their own interests and he is very good about playing into that. I cannot think of anyone more worthy of 5 star status than Brian. He is hands down one of the best GMs in the greater Los Angeles area and, in my opinion, exactly what a 5 star GM looks like. I'll leave you with one last quote: </p>
<p>"Now THAT is a 5 star experience!" Said by me, from my first time through 'The Cyphermage Dilemma' gmed by Brian Darnell.</blockquote><p>So join me in congratulating Brian in achieving this benchmark in his PFS career!!

<br />
I was in several teacher meetings in our district as they wrestled with their response to the issue and present solutions for our district and our campuses.
<br />
In general this meant designating restrooms which had individual stalls and doors for use by students who were stuck in transition, allowing all parties to 'feel safe', and not forcing the students transition onto any party until the student was comfortable presenting appropriate gender identity for themselves.</p>
<p>Unfortunately a conservative group in California has scared the citizendry of California and feel that the Governor has gone too far in supporting Transgender rights and providing support for those students struggling with this issue. It looks like they might have gathered enough signatures to place the issue on the ballot for this fall, and this has put the implementation of the Governors mandate on hold for many school districts throughout the state.</p>
<p>I am fortunate that the superintendent of our district is a good man and plans to continue the implementation of the policy in our district, feeling that promoting diversity and understanding in our typically conservative district in Orange County, Republican stronghold of Southern California is the right thing to do.</p>
<p>I am sure that he will get some grief from some elements of our local community base, but it is good to see good men do things for the right reason. </p>
<p>If the issue is certified and goes to the ballot for all of California, I hope that there are enough people of good heart to support the full implementation of Transgender rights throughout California. The results of such an initiative will be binding on the State Constitution and will be an important milestone for the state of California, and by proxy the nation.</p>California was suppose to have implemented a new law on January 1st that required recognition and support for gender dysphic students, to allow them to use appropriate facilities (bathrooms/lockerooms/etc).

<p>Question had been asked back in January on how many cases would be necessary to 'ensure' that you received a complete set of the miniatures.</p>
<p>It was kind of left hanging whether that was one or two cases because of the large size of this set.</p>
<p>What was the recommendation on this one?</p>

<p>So its actually VERY hard to sneak into a place and slaughter an opposing party (villans) unless you clear them out the first round.</p>Hmmm, so people are pretty much assured of getting into the 2nd round of combat, given how easy it is to wake up then.

<p>The question: What are the rules for waking up? I cannot find them in the core rule book.</p>
<p>I have always understood that its a standard action to wake a fellow adventurer (or villain).</p>
<p>But what are the rules for unassisted waking? Minuses on the perception? What is the DC? </p>
<p>Where are these rules found?</p>
