Nakkid job search for the top? o_o

wanders through thread putting up a montage showing the deep friendship between Freehold DM and Joss Whedon: amicably playing chess together, Joss handing Freehold some cotton candy at the fair, watching the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer, drinking a few beers, building a snowman.....
You know they are making a new Buffy movie.
Blast. Well good luck with that. Hopefully it goes better then my job search. :PNo, but CJ and I are working on a way to predict lottery numbers. No luck so far.Ugh job hunt not going well....might end up working at the gas station until I can find something better and less gas station-y.
** spoiler omitted **So how is everyone doing?
Is anyone planning on robbing a bank? :D
I am well. Looks like I am headed to PaizoCon so that is exciting.

I used to work, several years ago, at a gas station. The lottery was in it's infancy here at that time. They did not have a power ball yet. It was just 7 numbers. I worked with a guy from Egypt. Lived in Alexandria till he came to the states. Cool dude, college student taking aeronautics at WSU. We produce tons of rocket scientists, who knew?
So anyway he was a math wiz and pretty cool with computers. This was maybe 97 so everyone loved windows still. He made himself this little program. He inputed the numbers of every lottery for the 9 months or so that it had been in effect. Then he tried to deduce the winning numbers. Did this as a game. One day he didn't show up for work and I had a double shift. Turns out he was pretty good with math predictions.
Never saw him again.

Belated- Good Job Kellen, keep it up.

Sorry to hear that. I hope something better turns up soon.
hey Paris, quick question. How does one become an officer in the Navy? Does one need a Bachelors degree before signing up or can he finish up while in the service?
I can't remember if I already said something about this, but thank you very much to those of you who told me how to switch my power settings to save batteries. It's worked like a charm. And I have much more readable notes as a result. :)

I know there's going to be a new Buffy movie. I am brewing an extra special batch of Haterade(tm) just for it.

yeah so are all the diehard Joss fans. They hate it already, you know, since he will have nothing whatsoever to do with it.
I am keeping an open mind.

Hrm.
I"m a nerd. I love analyzing rules, optimizing character builds, theorizing on alternative rule sets that would better model some behavior I don't think d20 or Pathfinder models well enough. I love check out playtests and playing around with new rules.
But these playtests are just...wow. Lots more emotion than I've seen in others. I felt pretty strongly about the magus (still unhappy), but the amount of vitriol and rudeness right now makes me cringe. I don't like quite a bit about the playtest...but that's why Paizo does the playtest. To find these things out, and change them as they deem necessary.
I'm half tempted to defend the design not because I think it's good, but because I don't want, in any way, to be associated with the raving haters out there...
Thanks, Paizo, for doing playtests. I really appreciate that you seek out customer feedback. You are all braver and more gracious than I would be in your circumstances right now.

I hear it involves gladiator combat, pit bulls, and twinkies, but what do I know.hey Paris, quick question. How does one become an officer in the Navy? Does one need a Bachelors degree before signing up or can he finish up while in the service?
Yes, sounds like a party
Your just lucky I patrol mini prices as often as I do :PThe glue is awaiting to follow its instructions. I'm crossing fingers.There we go I hope you enjoy.Urizen check your FB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*thumbs up*
Believe me - when it arrives, and the gluing is successful - you will get your just recognition. ;-)

I too am saddened by the Magus and felt it was the only missing component to the rules. We do not need tons of base classes or even sub classes. I just do not see myself spending any money on the Ultimate books. Any.
Also I would playtest, gladly with my kids, but the vitriol on the threads just do not allow me any well reason to do so. Rather reason not to. Maybe I can playtest and just FB it to Jason instead of the threads. I just do not want to pester him on FB you know?

+1 to everything save the optimization(although I'm not sure how you optimize- you could do it in a way that's a lot less offensive than the optimization I'm used to).

Nah I found him a Tiamat. Also I haven't forgotten about your minis CJ I just haven't gotten time to send them with all the extra shifts I've been working. But I just trained in a new guy so things should calm down enough for me to get them sent. My buddy Malcolm is also yelling at me to send his Beholder box set thats been sitting in my living room for 2 months.

I'm nervous, though, because I don't have much experience statting up baddies for Pathfinder. What are some good resources for fully-statted mooks so that I can focus on creating a story rather than calculating attack bonuses for town guards?I tend to recycle stat blocks from other products. I subscribe to the APs and keep a bit of a stat block data base (though its not that up to date) - good for finding stock mooks, town guards, thieves, pirates etc.
I beleive the GMG has similar stat blocks too. Also the NPC Guide.
Hmm. I may need to pick up a GMG then. What do others think? Is there a large quantity of statblocks there that would be helpful to me?
(It almost makes me wish I hadn't used my gift certificate from <anonymous> for minis...)
I do outreach/surveys for studies on sex, primarily in msm nightclubs. More recently there have been new studies added to the roster that need bisexual and heterosexual individuals, so now my job has gone from talking to gay men about sex to talking to *everyone* about sex, which I am quite ecstatic about.Someday I must find out what the second job is.Huh, I thought that white stuff was your second job?? :P
Keep that white stuff a-comin'!!! If we get enough of it, I may not have to go to the second job today!
*sigh* I just realize now what that sounded like.
Cool
Ironically it is snowing here now!So....you're opening an invitation to show how you color and manscape your shrubbery? Hmmm...Oh....fine then.
Oddly parts of my lawn are still green.
EDIT: You can move over here. ;)
YIKES!
NO!
I'm just promoting how sunny and beautiful Colorado can be.
No one wants to see my "manscape"!
(with some exceptions that I won't share unless in person with several beers)
:)
Now it is sunny and we are watering the yard.
*Shrug*
So tired and I don't know why. I went to bed early last night, got a whole seven hours. I was less tired last week when I was barely getting five hours a night. Grrr.
Also I don't have a good feeling about the day. Took kidlet to the doctor this morning and he was very upset about the change in routine. And then freaked out because parts of the exam meant that he had to be touched in ways he didn't like.(He can be abnormally sensitive to pressure in several areas of his body such as his neck and belly.)And then I had to send him to school right after. And didn't have enough time to stay and help him transition because I was running late for my class too. :/
Also we have to go to super expensive pediatric psychiatrist again because the pediatrician can't prescribe anti-anxiety meds, which aren't usually given to children anyways. But he's going to hurt himself or someone else during one of his panic attacks if we can't find a way to deal with them, so it looks like we'll have to scrape up a couple hundred dollars from somewhere. Insurance not covering treatment for autism really, really sucks. :(
What? They don't cover autism treatments? That is angering and absurd! I am really, very sorry. Ridiculous.
Blast. Well good luck with that. Hopefully it goes better then my job search. :PNo, but CJ and I are working on a way to predict lottery numbers. No luck so far.Ugh job hunt not going well....might end up working at the gas station until I can find something better and less gas station-y.

Yes. There are a ton of useful statblocks in there. The book in general was a good read, even if I already knew much of what it was saying. However, the sections on adventure design have some great random tables. Oh, and the book has some treasure tables that supplement those in the core book, if you are into that sort of thing.

I am the terror that flaps in the night. I am the batteries that are not included.
Darkwing is that you? Why does the mouse have a specific limit to the number of episodes in a series. Cancels some but renames/re-imagines others? I mean come on how many Hanna Montana shows do we really need? Really? Another ducktales/Darkwing duck....woo hoo. Or another Gargoyles.

As kickass as Gargoyles was, I don't see it coming back. Just waaaay too much lightning in a bottle to ever do the original justice, as the Goliath Chronicles proved(IMO).

+1 to everything save the optimization(although I'm not sure how you optimize- you could do it in a way that's a lot less offensive than the optimization I'm used to).
I generally wait until everyone else has picked a character, then create a character type to fill any "holes" in the group. From there, I make them awesome. :)
I would say I'm an optimizer as opposed to a power gamer. When I want to let my power gamer tendencies go crazy, I pick a character type that is very underpowered so all my optimizing goes toward keeping them from being a drag on the rest of the group, or I make a buffer so doing my job super well just makes everyone else in the party kick butt.

fair enough. They did however have several shows, that could have lasted longer. Yet they have this silly rule as to how many episodes they will cover. This causes things like series sequels such as the Goliath Chronicles to be conceived.
Just because you can make a saved by the bell the new class, does nto mean you should.

I think that you all need to stop hogging all the snow.
I'm planning on going to Rocky Mountain National Park around the end of April and thought I'd check out how much snow they've gotten.
Here is a webcam in Estes Park pointed towards Rocky Mountain NP. Notice that it is January 26th and there is a significant lack of snow on the ground in the foreground.
I'm actually a little nervous about the Front Range this year if we don't get some serious snow fall soon.
Ah....Darkwing Duck, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, these were some of my favorite shows. And Jonny Quest.
