The dinner came out well. I was particularly happy with the garlic mashed potatoes. I think the sirloin with red wine sauce wasn't as good as the actual boeuf bourgignonne, but people seemed to like it. I'm always my worst critic.
I'm glad the dinner came out, well, well.

Morning Patrick. I wasn't around much here this weekend, but I see from further up the boards that the trolls were. That's why I tend to steer clear from the rules sections more often than not.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to a rather sucky work week. Lean events are even more s&&#ty when they are (a)unfunded, (b)redundant, (c)and when I'm the leader.
Yuck. I hope you survive the week.
With that out of the way, have a good Monday, everyone.
Something I think many people don't realize. Everyone gets so fixated on that there MUST be someone for everyone, not everyone NEEDS someone. Sure, it is nice to have a person there to share things with and live life with, and I don't doubt that I may yet find that person that will grow old with me, but if I've learned anything from the last four years, it's that if you're not happy alone, you'll never be happy with someone else.
(Fortunately, I will always treasure this time I've spent in Minnesota to remind me How to Be Alone).
Night all!
If she did her hair a little and slapped on some make-up, she wouldn't have to make that video. Just sayin'.
P.S. Schizos are never alone. Right Urizen? Right!
Dude, awesome! You should create that alias, and just post that whenever a rules thread gets too heated. You could be the new Vomit Guy!On the contrary. My vast intellegence, and obvious mastery of all that is RPG makes me the perfect focus of these rules threads. Let them overheat! I shall prove that my way is right, and anyone who plays differently has a Candle of Invocation shoved up their ass.
A worthy adversary for Spanky.

Hmmm... never thought of that. With all my aliases, I have enough people for two football teams plus a cheerleading squad! (Of course, it's one of the UGLIEST cheerleading squads ever...)
GoooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Morning FAWLTY HOUSE!!!
FHDM IS IN DA HOUSE!!!
Yes, I've been waiting for a while to whip that one out.
Whip It....
Roller Derby Girls...
Yeah.....
Okay, in case you can't tell I'm pretty burnt out after all the work this weekend. Well, maybe overstimulated is the right word. Cuz after going to my first ball this Saturday and the wife's attempt to play matchmaker on Sunday, I'm a weird combination of hyper and pooped. Here's hoping some monotonous paperwork evens me out a bit. I'll be going gaming upon the morrow as well- here's hoping I get some quality sleep tonight....
God Morning FAWTLy members, this is the first post from developmental psych my 8 am gotta love large lecture halls, next for the day German 101 and that is just my morning classes.

No...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
[EDIT] Wait, you said developmental, not experimental. *whew*
I...I think I've found the first thread on here that fills me with enough rage to count as a pet shop for me! Uh..that is how it works, right?

hey FHDM I am looking at getting a new bike later today, I will show you picture but living here in Iowa would you say a Mountain Bike would be suitable to even ride in the winter?

First a potential pet shop thread for me, and now a bike question! Today is shaping up well, on the site for me at the very least!
Yes, I'ds ay you need a mountain bike. It's Iowa- your winters are no joke. Even I- a seasoned NYC cyclist used to riding in conditions that make friends, relatives and acquaintences wonder as to my sanity- shudder at some of the things you'd have to put up with up there. You're going to need something reliable- maybe not oversized tires, which is something of a trend aroundabout- but with enough teeth to grip the road, dirt, and snow that I KNOW is coming your way.

Frankly, you don't have the necessary intelligence to make fun of me. The math just doesn't add up.

I will take a picture and post it later today to show you guys what has caught my eye. it even fits my color scheme :) It originally has aggressive off-road tires, and I am thinking of picking up a set of additional good weather tires
Urg, getting up in the morning to teach people is painful. Why did I want to do this again?
Maybe had a little too much fun last night with friends and margaritas.

The eternal debate- point buy vs. 4d6 drop the lowest. Someone on there made a very eugenics like comment regarding people with low stats being in your party that I took offense to. They have since explained themselves better, but it still irks me. If people come to me in the party and say that my character is a bit too weak to play with the big boys, I'll consider what they have to say. If they make an attempt on my character's life in game, or worse, try to put hands on my sheet out of game, then we have a *problem*.

Agreed. Why do people feel that every character they play has to be optimized? And why do the seeming majority of those people feel the need to proselytize when someone else brings in a character where they want to try a "suboptimal" character which fits a role-playing concept they have.

To be fair to those I disagree with, the thread really isn't about optimizing, but point buy, with a subtle eye towards the changes the Pathfinder system has made in 3.x. The game is now a hell of a lot more mechanical than ever before, and a few people have implied(if not made arguments for) that Pathfinder has changed "the game" to the point that randomly determined stats for character creation really no longer work. I have no problem debating that last one, and I'd really be interested in what the heads of Paizo think about that, but what pissed me off was the attitude, not the argument.

The way I see it, if you're more of a drain on party resources than you are a contributor, I'll simply stop spending my part of the resources to enable your continued draining of said resources.
That is not to say all PCs need to be 'optimized', but they do need to be 'effective'.
It's like that friend you've all had. You know, the one that is just overly negative about everything, is rude and seemingly unintentionally pisses everyone off... all the time. You may have reasons to like him, but sooner or later you stop inviting him to your parties because he makes it less fun for everyone else.

Cool. I need to see that.Alabaster Caverns. Spelunking and watching the horde of bats that come out at night, and camping.HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!Caught in a bad romance?

Sorry, man. The longer I live with these contests, the more I wonder about them. Anyway, I think it's one of those things were persistence is one of the most important virtues. It's a competition, not a Judgment from the Mind of God.

Well, hell, I *like* getting rid of randomly determined stats.
Might be the nightmare of trying to build a half-elf ranger in AD&D that made me dislike it so... :D

Ok, so a conversation with my 4-year-old went something like...
ME: Who's cutie?
SON: I'm cutie?
ME: Is daddy cutie?
SON: NO! I'm cutie. Daddy genius.So if anyone was doubting... (Hey, have you ever tried to argue with a 4-year-old? -- Kind of like arguing on certain threads actually...)
Enjoy it while it lasts.

Yeah. My older son already knows everything -- at 8. (And my experience shows that this doesn't start to change until they get to be around 25...)
So, the school's computer system is down so you can't retrieve ANY information about your classes. YAY!

Because in real-life, min/maxing is a very bad idea. Also, it helps to not sound like an uneducated clod when you write.

I shall prove that my way is right, and anyone who plays differently has a Candle of Invocation shoved up their ass.
*sigh* Here's the lowdown:
I am currently summa cum laude at the Mengele University of Troll Surgery in East Ossterfuchs. I have dozens of playtest and freelancing credits to my name. I can optimize a wizard in 4.5 seconds from memory using a stick of charcoal, three marbles, and some bark. Therefore, I do not have time to deal with nose goblins such as yourselves. So quit your butthurt whinging and read up on the rules a bit, it might stop you from looking like such n00bish asses next time.

But I don't like to try to be something I am not. Meaning I am an uneducated clod.
I really enjoy my German class so far.
