Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with that class as well. But then, I really did enjoy the revised core rulebook version of the Star Wars RPG, so I know I am pretty biased.I felt much the same way about the Jedi class in SAGA edition. The class is analogous in many ways to the Swordmage concept, but to pull off that they neglected the classic Jedi skills of persuasion and blending in. What you end up with is a class that hits people over the head before blasting them, which is cool but not very useful if you actually want to RP a Jedi.Oh, I'm fine with any similarities to 4e's swordmage. There kind of has to be, since it's the same concept. I just hate the whole "EVERYTHING 4E TOUCHES TURNS TO S$%^" sort of thing that pops up every once in a while.I wouldn't go so far as to say it was taken straight from 4e's swordmage. If anything the difference in mechanics insures that there are some deviations.
It doesn't bother me much. Personally, I like it when game designers pull from various sources to inspire their designs.
The similarities aren't massive really. But then, I was never impressed with the swordmage implementation. That has nothing to do with 4e specifically, just the actual class.
A friend and I have decided to pathfinderize the RCR, we actually started on it yesterday. I'm really excited, because SAGA Edition was fun but just short of the mark IMO.
Okay FAWLTies... I had two good interviews today. Keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer, slaughter a virgin pig (for Urizen's bacon), but just send a shout to the 'verse to get Ashe home before Christmas. Because a Happy Ashe means a Happy World.
An unhappy Ashe means I post those pics I found. You know who you are and what you did. ;)
Bacon.... *homer drool*....
So um is anyone else experiencing facebook being a b%!!& tonight?Facebook is broken. Which is sad. I wanted to give some thoughts on the publishing venture.Yeah I had some thoughts I wanted to post on again. Not that any of my suggestions seem to have much merit but it is nice to put them out there anyway.
Why would you say that? I actually found your post concerning the old Rolemaster mods very helpful. I just haven't had much chance to respond the last couple of days. My attention is too wildly split.
I just got our replacement scanner, by the way. I have not forgotten you. :)
EDIT: Naked short attention span for TotP
Partly lack of feedback, partly because I have a bad habit (and yes I realize I have it) of rereading my posts later and wondering what the hell I was thinking when I wrote that. Makes it really hard to write any fiction at all, let me tell you. Poetry, where feeling and emotion is easier, tends to have less of a second look from me. Since it either is right or is gibberish. Of course I have not written any for over a year now and that is because the last time I did, it was gibberish. But Like I was talking to Taig about, practice helps. So I should write more. I am just way too damnably lazy lately.
What did you name him?I think it's a toss up between Moorluck and Urizen.
Cage fight to be the namesake?
*places $5 on Moorluck in the 2nd round*
*takes a dive in seven seconds in the first* *pockets the $5*
I like to thank Don King for the inspiration....
*places $15 on Moorluck in the third round by knockout

I never had the chance to play the Saga edition. We are starting up a new, I hope, revised edition game late Saturdays. If it did begin though, I have already missed the first game due to family life. C'est la vie.
Hey Brother Drow .... mini for you. Mini for me. A shot of whiskey for you, a shot of whiskey for me. Can we get a lap dance out of what's left? Ah hell, let Solnes do it. Problem solved.
They're suckers. All of 'em. ;-)
A friend and I were discussing Star Wars RPG. He's been thinking about running a campaign with his younger brother, Treppa, and I. He's already started generating a fairly long list of houserules in between my complaints about parts of SAGA edition not being as fun as in Pathfinder.
So it suddenly dawns on us, why don't we go back to the Revised Core Rulebook* and update it to Pathfinder Standard? We're taking a look at skill consolidation, fixing feats, marrying BAB/HD and a whole host of other changes in order to bring the old d20 game back to life.
We sat down and started looking at it, and realized that it's been a really long time since either one of us has really looked at it for play. We were left scratching our heads trying to figure out how we're going to tackle this, but I think we've got the ball rolling by bothing figuring out what minimum changes would need to be made in order to get it up and running again.
*RCR is the d20 edition of Star Wars that existed during the 3.5 era of D&D (for those unfamiliar). It follows many of the same tropes. SAGA seems to be a test bed for many of the ideas that went into 4e and in someways is a very basic form of d20 in a modular format. We decided to skip pathfinderizing SAGA and went straight for RCR due to rules similarities.
Put me on a list of people who wants to see the docs for your Pathfinderized conversion of RCR, please. Thanks! =)
This looks too good to pass up:
** spoiler omitted **...
I smell foul play. It's more like too good to be true. From what I understand, you usually have to pay out of pocket first and good luck with the timely reimbursements...
"Why fudging is happening" almost begs for an appearance by Urizen. :)
I ... missed this. Argh.
Damn I hate realizing that I missed taking medications all day.
He uses Cthulpoo, non-tears with conditioner.
Clevah!
What would Cthulhu scat look like I wonder? Perhaps paradoxically lovely and daffodil scented?
Just googled "dirty cricket", so I'm hoping Urizen will skip these posts. :S
I didn't see anything amiss.
EDIT: Safesearch now off. Oh.....OH!
I hate updating my resume. Reminds me how much of a complete failure I am, especially when it ends up shorter than when it started.What you need to do is get a recruiter to take a look at it. Most recruiters work for free, getting a commission from the company that hires you. And the recruiters I've been working with have been able to give me tips on my resume that increased it from two to five pages.
Misinformation and untraceable lies. *scribbles....*
for Uri and his woman tomorrow's man vs. food he is in Des Moines and the challenge sandwich sounds awesome.
I'm sure it's set for DVR.
So um is anyone else experiencing facebook being a b~&#~ tonight?
Thank you; I can clearly see I'm not alone. I come home from my second consecutive week of beer & pretzels role playing (yay!) and I had 58 notifications waiting for me. FB barfed before I got through half of them. Won't let me back in right now. But I'm getting notifications through the extension app in Chrome. That I can't get to.
*HULK SMASHZ UR INTERWEBZ*

So Cthulhu poop is skittles? Does our pony have tentacles hidden under his mane?
Hey, Facebook came back! :P
Just checked! YessssssSsssSsssss.... need to catch up on my pending notifications and get to sleeeeeeeepppy...

I say the same thing when I read your posts. ;P

Read his posts backwards and a fifty cents appears somewhere in your house... loose change. Try it. It's like Bloody Mary and Candy Man only without all the toilet flushing, mirrors, and gore.

It seriously ook me a third pass before I stopped seeing what you wrote as "testicles." What's wrong with me?

Should I start a list??
Honestly when your mind wanders so far in the gutter as that there is but few excuses save for the fact that you hang out with us here. I mean between Urizen, LPM, myself (although I tend to be mostly passive here abouts, not sure why) You are in fact doomed from the get go. Might as well wallow in the muck while you are here. It is easier that way.
Teskittles. That's what I just read.
Time for bed.
probably closer to the truth there.
"Honey what is dancing in your pants?"
"Why that is me happy that you are here tonight. My teskittles are doing the dance of the three snakes for you."
And I seem to have ran everyone off.
I took a shower today Honest.

~sighs dramatically~ I have failed to get on the list. Oh!!! Where did I go wrong? My life is wasted! Wasted I tell you! ~puts my hand on my head and acts as if I am going to faint~ Oh dear! The stress is too much!

Have a good night everyone. I have a busy day tomorrow.

And swell that head further! Perish the thought.

Very well. I am resolved to my darkly humored fate. Let us dance!

I'm pretty sure that was a pharoah.

What can I say I was channeling the dead souls of Egyptian temple prostitutes, or maybe Urizen. Hard to tell.
Morning FAWTL. These three hour feedings give you really broken up sleep. No complaints really though. Jude has some jaundice and has been in the nursery under the lights. A friend stopped to visit with a set of foam dice and a red shirt onesie.
Mmmmmm.....temple prostitutes.
Um - 'The best part of waking up....'?
<.<

[ahem]
Mornin' All (^-^)
Morning FAWTL. These three hour feedings give you really broken up sleep. ...I remember once waking up with oddest feeling. It was the first time in about 3 years of fatherhood, that I slept though an entire night without waking up. It's all worth it, though.
heh, I remember that! I woke up panicked that something had happened and I had slept through it. I ran into Kellen's room and woke him up. :)

Did they give him the cloth sunglasses? We still have Kellen's. :)
Riley is watching Jurassic Park again, I do believe it may have replaced Cars.

He has an eye covering that is cloth, we can call them sunglasses ;). He has reverse raccoon eyes going.
EDIT: Nekkid baby in sunglasses for TOTP.
