I have officially reached the end of an era.
This afternoon, I handed over the last of my D&D 3.0/3.5 materials to Goodwill. I made the decision with only a little bit of difficulty. The fact is that I haven't cracked open a 3.5 or earlier edition book since Pathfinder came out. I'm "losing" a lot of source material, since I had a lot of the Fantasy Flight "Legends & Lairs" and Alderac Entertainment Group books, but given how much time I really do have to plan a campaign the Pathfinder books already provide more information there than I can realistically use. Everything else was just taking up space.
My hope is that some gamer can spot a great deal on good books in great condition and make use of them while helping out the Goodwill, as well.
...An hour and a half later, I still haven't done it. I just can't stick the needle in. I almost had the nerve, then the dogs barked and she bolted and I had a meltdown because I've been doing this for an hour and it's probably too late at this point and now it's even later and anything that happens because of this will be entirely my fault.Davi I understand your pain. You just have to grit your teeth and do it. I love my cat too, but if it's for the good of the cat it has to be done.
Yeah, it really sucks to give shots to pets. It does get easier once you do it regularly. I hope you don't beat yourself up too much over it.
...Now I've got to come up with something from the kid as well.
Maybe a nice shiny Mark II suit?
Also it seems that synesthesia is becoming a new standard symptom for me with migraines. The last migraine I had I had an episode where I could see sound for like an hour and then last night I had one where I could see touch. It's disorienting and rather unpleasant. Can't wait to have insurance again so I can go see a doctor about this.Ugh. I've heard of that, but (thankfully) never experienced it.
...Yesterday he had the most intense frightening panic attack I have ever seen him have. Holiday shopping does not agree with him. :(
Hope he (and you) have a better time of it than the shopping expedition.

~chokes~ Oh damn! I would have taken some of that stuff. OTOH, I too hope that someone enjoys what you have donated.

Sorry, Sharoth. I knew I was taking a risk posting the news, here. Unfortunately, this is stuff that's been sitting on my shelves for some time. If I had come up with a reason to hold onto them any longer, I'm not sure they ever would have left.
In related news, I realized a few moments ago that I left a box of books in the garage. Therefore, I have a bunch of original Deadlands RPG items I haven't offloaded. Anyone want them? If you agree to pay for the shipping, I'll box them up and send them to you.

~thinks~ Ummmm... I would be interested, but I need to see what Deadlands stuff I have in the attic. Also, if anyone lese wants them, then let them have it. I doubt that I would play Deadlands anytime soon.
P.S. - I understand about clearing out all the old stuff. There are days when I have thought about doing the same.
P.P.S. - Also, I will not have the shipping money for at least a month. The past few months have been rough on the wallet.

Looks like phone calls tomorrow. Again. Pointless, but I gotta try.
Aetna sucks. Hospitals suck.

Thanks. Seems to be better this evening. I decided the cookie baking could wait until tomorrow when he was less tired, and he got a present from his aunt. That calmed him down. Unfortunately it was the same present I got for him so I have to brave the horrors of toysrus at Christmas time again. *whimper*

** spoiler omitted **
Yes, that does suck. :(
*hugs*
I've been very busy: I hope all are well and nothing too big has happened, unless it's good.
If I don't make it back again:

Christmas break has begun! One work day left on Monday between now and the new year. Best of all, my son is going to start running a Curse of the Crimson Throne campaign for us. My Inquisitor of Sarenrae is ready to go.
I hope a big demon thing kills you in one shot. Just like you killed me friday night

So, I figured out something else to get my wife for Christmas - yesterday she was complaining that her scarf wasn't really long enough to wrap around her neck against the cold. So - new scarf!
That's two things.
Of course, she also let me know that she got me something from her and something from Baby Ironman. DAMN!! Now I've got to come up with something from the kid as well.
Is the scarf long enough to cover her whole head? If not get a bigger one.
As for the Boy, get her somthing that says "mom" they love that stuff. Your sister in law eats it up, anything that says Mom will do.

touchy, touchy - but you aren't staying dead. I didn't count on your Inn being a phylactery in disguise by providing you enough funds to rise from the dead.
Grrrr!

Oh, I agree. I am just greedy.

Not while my fighter has anything to say about it. I've pulled his bacon out of the fire at least twice now. And I'll do it again as long as I'm able. ;)

You and I both. A habit I try to avoid which is why I am trying to not ask for the stuff and scrambling to find postage.I think it was great thing you did Paris giving it to the goodwill.Oh, I agree. I am just greedy.
Thanks, guys.
If either of you (or anyone else, here) can put these items to use, I'm glad to share them. I can put together a specific list of what I have, just in case you are interested. I took another look in the box and it's basically a bunch of the Deadlands: Hell on Earth books, an opened, but unused box set for "The Great Railwars" game, and several original Deadlands pewter minis (still in their blister packs).

Please tell me Ptolus or Iron Kingdoms wasn't included in this. I would cry. Horribly.

Which version? D20 or the version that came out in the '90s?

No. As a matter of fact, I've kept the Witchblade Trilogy of modules for my own. It's the only Iron Kingdoms product I own.
The stuff I donated was all WotC, Legends & Lairs, or AEG supplements.
As for the Deadlands stuff, it's all the original Deadlands (1990s) products, but most of what I have left is from the "Hell on Earth" product line.

*breathes sigh of relief*
You have no idea. If it were, I would have force choked you through the Internet! :P
The only Hell On Earth product from DL I have is the d20 softcover they released. I'm only interested in the d20 releases. In that case, carry on. =)
A girl I went to school with had that body type as a senior and junior in Highschool. She did in fact suffer from back pain and is the only woman I know of to have had a breast reduction, to get her to a DD size cup. Ah Mickie, ah puberty.Hence why she lives in space? Zero gravity would help.With boobs that big I really just can't imagen living on a day to day basis. What a pain in my back. :PIt had to be said.Hm. This place needs more boobs. Lots of boobs. Plethora.the same could be said for practically everywhere on (and off) the planet. :PHere we go, from deviantart...
Boobs in Space by MurderShow72
This is a picture of Misaki from the anime series Divergence Eve. The series is also joking referred to as “Boobs in Space” for obvious reasons. The storyline of the series is crappy as hell but I like the way the character looks, especially the colors of her uniform, which really make her stand out. Plus, outrageously big boobs are always fun.
Here's to Mickie. And Puberty. Although I wish she would have done the exercises and kept the boobs...

Twas a typical "ZOMG D20 STUFF RUINED MY BELOVED SETTING/GAME SYSTEM WHICH IS ROLEPLAYING BUT FOR *SMART PEOPLE*" rant that I usually get whenever I'm around people who play CoC, Gamma World, White Wolf WoD, L5R(Oh..BIG one there) or whatever RPG that had a D20 suppliment a few years back. Usualy said suppliment was my first exposure to the game with rules I recognized, and I enjoy talking to people about such stuff for the most part, but whenever I mention that I play or prefer the D20 version, I'm usually in for a disgusted sigh or a 20 minute long rant on how I'm doing it wrong.

That's too bad. I suppose there is elitism even among elites, isn't there? I mean, it's not like "dumb people" can really develop an understanding for the complexities of the d20 system, either, but there're always going to be those who need to feel that their game of choice is superior. Whatever.
I enjoyed playing Deadlands when it first came out, but not really because of the system. It was fun, but my enjoyment was due mostly to the fact that Shane Hensley was running the games for our friends in Blacksburg, VA. I got to participate in the origianl playtesting and even got a playtest credit in the rulebook. I just never did anything with it after that.
Oh...and as for shipping, I'll have to check and let you know. I'm sure I could manage a few of those flat-rate boxes. I think I have several in the garage, after my brief foray into eBay sales a couple of years ago.
I'm at work, now, but I'll try to get a list of available titles posted when I get home this afternoon. My wife will sincerely appreciate having one more box of stuff cleared out of the garage. ;-)

Lugging around food and presents for Christmas party at work. My feet feel like I've been standing in acid. Dang, I'm really out of shape.
Looking at the sizes, they appear to be about 1.5 to 2x bigger than the 1" standard...at least the dragons and so on.
I got all excited as I started reading this as 'looking at the boob sizes...'
EDIT: Now this is a proper ToP! *does happy dance* nekkid, of course
