According to Facebook's calendar, a large proportion of my friends are turning either 27 years old, 35 years old, or 46 years old over the course of the next year.
Also, I may potentially have to go to five weddings next year.
Nope nope nope nope.
I used to think that too, until I realized how much booze and food there was at at weddings. And gambling. And women! Go dude, if you can take me with you!

I didn't do this out of hate, I did it out of love!
Now Sharoth can go to work every day instead of having to stay at home playing video games.
See? I'm a good friend!

Nope nope nope nope.
The wedding I went to after that, I got paid to be *the guy* in case something went wrong. Nothing went wrong, but I got really sick, and I didn't know anyone other than the members of the groom's old band.
Next up is the wedding of one of my college friends. He asked me to be one of his groomsmen (because he only has like 3 friends), but I really don't want to go because his fiancee is a heinous b+%~% who screwed me out of $400 a couple years ago, then bragged about it to her friends.
And then there's like three or four more, all of friends who I've played in bands with or roadied for. Weddings that I have to be sober for are just depressing, and I don't think I can handle more than one per year.

Two Orthos's! Or is that Orthi?
Has the world gone all topsy turvy!!
Well, "orthos" is an adverb in modern Greek (it means "right" or "correct/correctly"), but if it was a second declension masculine noun in Classical Greek, that would make the nominative dual "Orthō" and the nominative plural "Orthoi."

As long as they're not Illumians, we're fine.
Apologies to anyone who now has to cope with the memory that Illumians were a thing.

I remember them existing (Races of Destiny came out right at the peak of my gaming years), but I don't exactly remember them being a *thing*.

Their name sounds like Illuminati. Coincidence?

Touché. They were a thing in that they existed in a book. I would speculate that no one ever played one, ever.

Yeah. I never seen anyone playing one. Of course I haven't seen many GMs allowing exotic races anyway.

Some of their ideas looked interesting on paper - getting bonuses based on their glowing sigils and developing them with more complex bonuses by getting more sigils as feats (or something like that).

Probably, though it could have been coffee. :'(

The GM of my old gaming group (for all you old-timers, he used to post on Paizo as "Dirk Gently") would put up a brave front, but would always cave in the end when one of his players (usually me) wanted to play something dumb and/or broken from one of the 3e splatbooks. I got to play a (super-angsty) Incarnate / Binder, an Infused Warrior, and an epic-level half-elf CODzilla of Hextor (also super-angsty) with a displacer beast cohort and a private army of blackguards*, but I don't think I even thought of playing an Illumian.
*(My first character. Shut up, I was like 15.)

I love Illumians. I love the lore and the mechanics, while not perfect, were definitely fun and one of the few things that actually made multiclassing workable even in Pathfinder.
I've played several, including this character from our first attempt at Age of Worms. They're one of my favorite races, and probably the closest of my favorite races to actually liking Humans.
