Reducing the payout wouldn't help either. People are playing because they believe that despite the odds can get the prize. Reducing the prize reduces the incentive to play. Increasing ticket price wards off those who were more odds-conscious.
Freehold: Yes, they were born this morning! Yay!
And "leather lifestyle enthusiasts" - I like that name. It hardly sounds kinky at all!
coming up with more realistic/representative names for things is an important step in removing stigma.
That would have been an awesome TOP.

The topic is good, but I find his laser pointer a bit unsettling.
I am way too amused by coming up with rumors about my Kingmaker PCs for them to learn when they roll Knowledge (Nobility) on themselves.
I couldn't tell.

I've been doing transcription work to make a penny or two (and that's all you get, believe me). But it's interesting how many people are mushmouths with very sloppy speech patterns. People should listen to themselves from time to time. They might be surprised at how poor their speech is.

I know how awful my speech patterns are. Its why I post things on the internet.
I'm still unemployed. Time to try on my other alter-egos. Have a great Friday night everybody.
VE HUNT!
And awake again.
I wish there were Primal Dragon Bloodlines for Sorcerers.
Icy, what would you call the difference between a 'Primal' bloodline, and the existing draconic bloodlines?
Color me curious,...

Went over to my brother's house last night to DM the game we run for my nephew. I introduced them to the island of Nevlund, where they helped the halfling worshippers of Pyterpin, Empyreal Lord of Adventure and Youth. The halfling princess Lily Pad was kidnapped by pirates, and they had to rescue her.

Only if you want them to come back as a flesh eater. Then they become NPC monsters living in the island's infamous Ghoul Cove.
That is FAW-some Zombie!
;)
Hm,... I haven't had any mead in years.
Time to go shopping?
Where in this college town might I find some mead,...?
(Stoopid college kids think Miller High Life is a fine champagne,) ;P

Wow, that sounds brilliant and tons of fun. Being topped off with mead sounds like a perfect Friday night.

Bloodlines based off the Primal Dragons of Bestiary 2.
Brine, Cloud, Crystal, Magma and Umbral.
Things are rolling here at RinCon in Tucson. Maybe not smoothly, but rolling.
WOOT!
What is rincon for, exactly?

As far as I can tell, the existing Draconic bloodline works fine with the primal dragons as well - the only bloodline powers that's dependent on dragon type are the breath weapon one, which primal dragons have, and the dragon resistance one, which is based on the draconic ancestor's energy type, and, again, the primal dragons have that too.

Ursula K. Le Guin writes extremely well, but I'm sorry to have to say that on the basis of that one highly distinguishing quality alone I cannot make you an offer for the novel. The book is so endlessly complicated by details of reference and information, the interim legends become so much of a nuisance despite their relevance, that the very action of the story seems to be to become hopelessly bogged down and the book, eventually, unreadable. The whole is so dry and airless, so lacking in pace, that whatever drama and excitement the novel might have had is entirely dissipated by what does seem, a great deal of the time, to be extraneous material. My thanks nonetheless for having thought of us. The manuscript of The Left Hand of Darkness is returned herewith. Yours sincerely,
The Editor
21 June, 1968
And in case someone wasn't aware of it - The Left Hand of Darkness would get published and go on win the Nebula award for best novel in 1969, and the Hugo award for Best Novel in 1970.
I have to agree with the editor, though. :P

I was supposed to be auditioning today for a small opera ensemble, but the person running it cancelled for the second time. This time it was with less than 30 minutes notice. WTF?
For the record: I live 45 minutes away. So yes, I was in the car and halfway there when she called, not to mention everything I did to prepare in advance. I was furious.
It's not that she cancelled, it's that it was so last minute. With the excuse she gave, she would have known this morning that it was not going to happen, and had she called me then, I would not be so pissed off.
Gah, that sounds terrible and annoying. But don't let it bring down your weekend. ;)
College of Winterhold ala the Skyrim Chapter has some tough admission standards.
Good Luck to you blue pigeon, I was living in the LV area until i got laid off.
My house is being rented while I am in the SF bay area.
Sometimes a bad situation leads to a better situation.
I hope so. Hitting the applications on a Sunday. Remember, in this job market it pays to keep the tin foil hat off your head.
Expect them to watch you and send you the bill for being monitored without governmental funding.
