Whew... 3 hours in the car just to pick up Arden from school and Kellens' meds... my tooshie hurts...
So, I've been getting caught up on new Paizo threads (for example, did you know about this D&D Essentials thing?), and I came across this, which killed a few hundred thousand neurons.
Moff, don't read this. I don't want you to experience apoplexy.
At what point can a GM allow there players to control there companions
in combat without feeling like there ignoring the rules?
FaWTLers Assemble!
No, it needs to be alliterative...
Reporting for duty. Time to go.
Lots of new names around the old thread lately. :)

Glad you could make it. You're going to miss the vote on whether we allow Urizen to join...

Good. I mean, WTF? "Let's play Monopoly. I'm going to force you to roll the dice." Good grief, the world is weird.
Tis a silly thread, that "Forced to Role-Play" one. I thought it was a Star Wars PBP at first. :P
Studpuffinly Awesome.
"This is not the kind of game you're looking for..."
Enjoy your trip to Atlanta.Yes. I'm very excited about visiting the underwater Coca-Cola factory. Although, I hear disappointing things about mermaid anatomy. Oh well. There will be free booze to wash down all those lectures and read papers.Busy, busy. Trying to get a job, and wrap up this week's classes so I can go out of town.Atlanta?
Thanks, Badgah.
Evening.
Underwater coca-cola factory?
:confused:
There is pie. PIE.
And by the way, what happened to our Post Your Pics thread?

lol. In light of that comment that whole thread became so much less annoying. :)
Dan is having way too much fun prepping for gaming. We start Witchwar Legacy tonight and I am hearing much too much of the evil DM laugh. Well, that and he likes poking fun at my poor character who has an unrequited crush on a fellow party member. She has a 27 Charisma. He has an 8. For some reason this makes the situation so much more amusing. Lately it's kind of been the how can we make Elijah's life a living hell game. Sigh. Serving up a side of heartbreak to go with that steaming dish of humiliation. ;)
(In case you can't tell I'm really looking forward to gaming. I am so burnt out right now. This is like the only non-responsible adult thing I get to do all week.)

Very good. At the risk of being dumb: Witchwar Legacy?

I am so fried from teaching and applying for a real gig.

Yeah, for a private university with tenure track.
To answer your earlier query, I tried to link the episode of Futurama, "The Deep South," but there's some new YouTube TV Series thing. Anyone else run into this bullcrap before?

Ah. For some reason I thought the name of the module was Witchwar something else. I was trying to figure out how WW and LoF might be mashed, and coming up with fail.

OK, thanks.
I haven't watched enough Futurama to have caught on to the allusion. I don't spend much time on youtube either except to occasionally listen to some music. I guess I don't have much of a life. ;)
Good luck with the job hunt.

lol. That would be an...interesting mashup to try and do.....not really sure how that would work though.....all the ice would melt. :)
Later guys, my computer quota for the day is about up.

Lack of internet. The arguments were always there, but the GM had the final say. It's still that way, some people just have trouble accepting that. Games are on an individual basis, not some meta-physical perfect game that only exists in thought experiments.I never thought I would say this but I think I miss AD&D.
Fighting over the placement of prepositional phrases or editing consistencies as the basis over whether a game is fun is so disheartening. I wouldn't care so much but it has sort of infused the culture at large...I just don't remember it being as bad as it seems *now*
Is this what getting old feels like?
Yeah...
I know that but sometimes I still naively believe that the dynamic will shift.
Ultimately I think it isn't just the internet but the need to lay out game books in an increasingly technical manner or rather that people expect a more "computer" like interaction of known terms and verified dependencies.
My bread and butter is the Internet so I take the good with the bad but I think the increase of like minded access and more strict a+b=c layouts and interpretations make someone like me nostalgic for the days where I just said "I climb the wall".
It's probably all of those things ... but mainly I blame the internet.
Stupid mike and ikes. Now my soda doesn't taste sweet because my taste buds have been burned with so much sugar. :(
I say we start a charity.

I got your reference. Unfortunately, I couldn't respond in kind.
