To be fair to Americans... most of us don't NEED to know the leaders of the various countries of the world. It's about rational ignorance - the idea that if you don't gain more benefit from information than the cost of discovering that info, you don't bother with it. As the only world superpower, American politics have a larger impact on world affairs than Germany or New Zealand. If we weren't that powerful, Germans and New Zealanders wouldn't know who the president was. As an example: Can anyone tell me who the govenor of Louisiana is? Probably not many outside the United States, because Louisiana as a political entity simply isn't as important at the U.S. as a whole.
Now, you might make a distinction between those Americans who don't know and never will, vs. those Americans who don't know but have developed the skills to look it up if they need to.

There are also all of us who have heard the names and seen the faces on the news and know who the person is, but just blank on the name when asked. Forgetting the name does not mean we think the person is unimportant. As an example, the US Supreme Court is a very important part of our government, but I could not name all nine of the Justices without looking it up to save my life.
And back on topic, welcome to the gaming family, Jenny! :)
Good luck on your character Jenny! Thank you for validating yourself, the sockpuppet threat has ceased... LOL Here's a nod to your awesomeness.Psst. You should pitch Jenny your character sheet to help out on her Rogue creation. ;)
Well, as it seems she did a great job on her own, I will ask my publishing partner on his thoughts here. I would be happy to do so in exchange for an honest review, or from any of the paizo celebrities for that matter (it makes business sense). If nothing else, the core of the sheets would be a possibility. Anyone else agree with this idea?

Given your publishing partner's penchant for shapely female characters on his product art, I can't see why he would refuse you this opportunity. ;)

Lol, I deliberately left that judgement to each individual person. ;)
Lord knows if we had the budget, I'd lobby very strongly for 4WFG to hire Jenny as a model for one of our products. Even if we had to make one up just to suit her...
Normally this is where I'd say I was kidding, but I'm not. The more RPG product covers with lovely women on them, the better in most cases.
PS: Quick quiz.... You is a Prime Minister of New Zealand and which political party are they from?
It would have to be Richie McCaw from the Union party.
That or six sheep called Gerald that wear jandels and have a chilly bin.
If I were to write that in Kiwi it would be "sex shup kalled Gerald that wear jundles and have a chully bun."

Too funny.
Anyone think I would get a thread of 450+ posts going if I posted photos of myself topless?

Hey Jenny, can I please borrow one of your outfits? Don't want to disappoint my fans, er, fan. Cool, one day I might have my very own stalker!S.
I'm NOT stalking you, Stefan.
...
Could you please turn that light back on?
... No, the one near the bed.
Wow. There's creepy and then there's...
I'm outta here.
Kinda makes me wonder how many of us have the hardbodies to take shots like these. Some people just have a knack for taking a good picture. I had some pro shots taken a few times that look pretty good, but all the pics from friends and stuff look..well...lame. Amazing what a person who can really take a good picture on either side of a camera can do. Grats to you; thanks for sharing.

I believes he is saying he will give you his very well done character sheet pack for free. So you can use it to make your character. In exchange he is asking that you post a review of the product and tell everyone what you thought about it, good or bad.
Unless i am mistaken which is possible.
ThanX Dark Mistress! :-)
well if that s wat they r asking i m up 4 it!
just not sure that i m the best person 2 judge how good it reali is cuz i AM a newbie at RPG
Big Kiss

Actually you want the opinion of long time gamers. They know what is useful or not to have on a character sheet etc. You also want new people like you to review them. Since what many of us take forgranted on how easy it is to use or understand(since we have been doing it for years) might not be so easy to understand or use to someone new to the hobby.
So really it is best to have reviews from both points of view. :)
GOOD POINT!
well i m game 2 help them out with this if they want my advice! :-)

Ok if I am not KaeYoss's sock puppet who's sock puppet am I. I was sure I was created by KaeYoss so he could express his true admiration of Dwarves and maintain his embarrassing love of elves.
You're just jealous. Jealous of my admiration of elven booty.
I said I'm sorry I cannot love you the way you want. We'll just have to stay deadly enemies.
Did somebody suggest a range of "Babes of Paizo" miniatures? o.O
No. I suggested full-size. And, to faciliate portability, I suggested inflatable. The portability thing was the only reason I suggested the blow-up version.
Oh, and my perverted, deviant urges. But just those two things. Nothing at all to do with inflation fetishes. (Freaks!)
That's like not liking football in Texas!
Or not liking soccer in Germany.
Did I mention I'm German? And hate soccer? At least the sort of soccer where you sit on your ass and watch other people running around exercising.
So you say that it was a case of "history written by the victor?"
This could mean that Sam's love for Frodo was unrequited.
Too funny.
Anyone think I would get a thread of 450+ posts going if I posted photos of myself topless?

I'll promise not to post pictures of myself topless if I get some 450+ posts thread. Make it "Post here to avoid Kae dropping the top".

I'm Australian and I hate the Australian Cricket team - they are arrogant, pompous, un-gentlemanly, bad losers and worse winners.

Must be the late hour, I don't even know what you refer to.
Hey Jenny, out of curiosity I threw your name in FB to see if you were there. The only hassle appears that there are quite a few of 'you'.
So I'm sure these lovely gamers would love to message/friend whatever you - but that's going to be kinda hard without a legit link :)
We wouldn't want anyone messaging some random fake Jen!

Thanks Jen.
Expect an avalanche of friend requests :p
Do they tag you with "pathfinder" when they send the request!?

You nailed this one right on the head! She's very fresh to pathfinder, making her a wonderful candidate. Similarly I would like James Jacobs to take a peak, but that would be another thread... LOL
GOOD POINT!
well i m game 2 help them out with this if they want my advice! :-)
Many thanks! I'm sending the message on facebook now.
I'm Australian and I hate the Australian Cricket team - they are arrogant, pompous, un-gentlemanly, bad losers and worse winners.Speaking as an Englishman, I agree wholeheartedly. It's simply not cricket, what what!
World Cup Soccer coming around, even-though the game is as about as interesting as lawn bowls, please oh fate, chance, luck let us be the ones to sink the English. Grant us revenge for that overrated exponent of boring Rugby Johnny Bloody Wilkinson.
