I only ban Leadership.
My games aren't the place to play Entourage the RPG.
I ban Leadership, too. I frown upon animal companions, familiars, and Summoners, though I don't ban them. I do ban certain types of spell, namely Raise Dead/Reincarnate/Ressurection, teleportation, planar travel, and speak with diety/dead/animals/plants. Also no using Channel Energy against undead. I probably ban something else I haven't remembered.
On the otherhand, there is 3PP I allow, and a lot of feats were consolidated or made into parts of the normal combat system (as in, everybody can now do what the feat said).

My wife HATES trying to talk to me in the house because I'm constantly in motion, picking things up, washing things, and otherwise trying to keep the house tidy. But in a family of 4 where I'm the only one who consistently puts anything away, it's a constant struggle. (One of the family-wide New Year's "resolutions" I've forced upon them is, "Finish what you started." I suspect I'm going to be a less-than-popular dad this year, but it'll be better in the long run if I'm not fighting this battle alone.)
My apartment looks like a college student lives there.

Weird, isn't that?

We kinda psuedo used Leadership in Skull and Shackles for awhile, considering how many NPCs we had on the crew. The first time we captured a ship and had to decide who would captain it, I volunteered my cohort just so I wouldn't have to keep track of him anymore. Same reason my druid took a domain rather than an animal companion.

~sighs~ I will have to start hitting the books sooner than I though if I want to finish up my associates degree before 2019. I will need to reteach myself algebra, calculus, physics and all my electronics classes. I will be talking to an adviser next time I am on the evening or night shift to see what I am missing and what I need to retake. I also will be starting to look into getting my A+, Network+, CCNA, and CCNP starting the middle of next year. Work will repay me for most of this, but I still have to shell out the money to take the classes and certifications.

Electrical / Computer Engineering Associates Degree. Of course, the question will become can I move this over to a BS degree. And even more important, is it worth my effort to do so.
Edit - I will probably try to add this on to my workload, since I will be doing most of this anyway.

Hanging in there. A lackluster week for Vegas at the end of the year.
Consumer Electrons Show hit this begins Tuesday. Airport and cab work should keep me busy for the next two weeks. Other than that life is good.

I most certainly did not stay up last night, as I had to be up at 3:00 today for my flight.
Yay?
where are you going?
It is not Germany, I asume, because you have not informed me how long you will be our guests :-)
...and you didn't see me in Vegas. Ugh!

Man, I absolutely love slow three day weekends with nothing to do. I think I have spent about thirty hours lying in bed since 2016 began, mostly sleeping, playing computer games on my laptop, napping, and watching TV shows I hadn't caught up on that my wife bought on black Friday on DVD.
This is heaven. How do retirees ever whine about having nothing to do? I honestly do not understand workaholics.
I am so unashamedly lazy.

What did you think? I didn't think the game would offer much replay value, but I was wrong. It is still fun to play again. Maybe just not immediately.

There is no such thing as "nothing to do".
Books exist. Libraries are free. The internet is cheap. Walking is free and every major city (and most minor) has gorgeous parks. Dozens of hobbies require minimal fiscal investment. Podcasts, YouTube, message boards, audio books, and other net media offer so much free media you couldn't possibly take it all in if you started at birth and lived to 120.
Again, I do not understand retirees whining about being bored.

It was tremendously engaging, but it felt very padded-out, and kind of mentally exhausting. I'll probably go through it again, but it will probably be next year at the earliest.

Seconded pretty much my whole last week.
I am so not looking forward to going back to work overtime tomorrow.

I only have all this free time because I'm not the one in charge of providing for the house right now.

I think we need Advanced Nekkid Guide... Or Would it be Ultimate Naughtiness?
In the hindsight we could actually use one... The party bard had multiple flings, has a longstanding affair with a cleric of Tyr (who became her cohort when she picked Leadership... and recently moved in with her), but is polyamorous at heart with a few paramours of both genders around.
The party witch asked out an acolyte of Tyr one one of the early sessions but he died soon after.
The party warlock is a really handsome devil... And not above having an affair here and there. Well, he is aiming to become a devil in the unforeseen future.
Only the party paladin is either completely asexual or (as some suspect) totally sexually repressed.

I like the attention to detail from the sleeping kitten to the wingtip dress shoes on the gangbangers.

So, Bards with the Detective archetype use performance, but it doesn't specify what performance it is, I was thinking dance.
Edit: for Hell's Rebels (starting Tuesday) I have an Elven Medium, but Medium is, frankly, underwhelming to go a full 18 levels, so I was thinking of multi-classing into Bard (detective) or maybe Magus or Occultist

Ah yes, I do miss being in New Orleans and working the conventions. (I was in AV, we did ALL of the booths and meeting rooms and the big stages)
To be honest, I only miss the big paychecks. I am now salary.Man I miss hourly,...
Glad to hear your doing well, otherwise. ;P
Keep it up Pigeon! Keep it up! :)

OK, it was s10 ep19. And they did show what happened : Maine picked up Carolina by the throat, her helmet dropped to the ground, then blood splattered the dirt and the implants were in Meta's hand. THEN he dropped her off the cliff.
And Texas vanished because she entered Church's virtual prison. Same when he was in the new box canyon: he was really inside the AI container, so her presence was virtual.
I catch on eventually.
