Apparently that word got defiltered. How long until somebody abuses it?

As so I!

Any body ever heard of The Magic Ring (1825) by Baron Motte de la Fouque? Dang, I need another week of Spring break so I can get it and read it.

Should anyone be interested a play-by-post possibility for those really wacky characters that you might not get a chance to play in the normal run of things. We're trying to decide if there's enough interest to get this rolling now. Only need one or two players though there's room for as many as want to play.

Spoiler:
It's a rules super light game based in the same world as Realms of Agartha (check the pbp board, possibly the archives, I can look up the link if anyone cares), though it's not necessary to have read or even be remotely familiar with that thread. I'll gladly fill you in on the basics. Basically the action would be taking place in a school for magical youngsters. Think a mashup of Hogwarts and the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. Existing characters include weredragon triplets and a good-aligned demon. Power level starts in the mid to upper teens. This is really the beauty of rules almost free, it actually supports that without making you want to tear out hair trying to keep track of all the details. Cause sometimes its fun to play superheroes. :)
We do use dice rolls, but sparingly, and if you have a concept that isn't easily supported by existing rules we can help you cobble together something that works since really all you need is a basic idea that lets you know what to roll for attacks, saves, damage, etc. The focus is more on the shared storytelling aspect of the game. Anyhoo, if anyone is interested just let me know and we can get a discussion thread going. If not then we may just hold off until some of the previous regulars acquire more free time. Thanks for reading this excessively long description anyways. :)

Returning you to your regularly scheduled thread now....

I'm gonna steal a silver stallion,
with not a mark upon his silky hide
Teach him he can trust me like a brother,
one day we'll saddle up and ride

And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds with the devil close behind
We're gonna ride

I'm gonna find me a reckless woman,
razor blades and dice in her eyes
Just a touch of sadness in her fingers,
thunder and lightening in her thighs

And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds with the devil close behind
We're gonna ride

I'm gonna chase the sky forever,
with the woman and the stallion and the wind
The sun is gonna burn into a cinder,
before we ever pass this way again

And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds with the devil close behind
We're gonna ride

Finished reading through The Haunting of Harrowstone last night. Really cool adventure. I also liked the source article on Ravengro. Overall, I think Carrion Crown is going to be another kick ass AP!

And....finally caught up on stuff I've been meaning to pre-order:

Rule of Fear
Undead Revisited
Dungeons of Golarion
PF Companion: Goblins of Golarion
PF Tales: Master of Devils

Just a few things to keep give me my new PF stuff fix.

Morning FAWTLiers!

I have extra bit of time thanks to a nursing scheduling problem, so a short day for the Pan Troglodytus Grognardicus. Time to peruse the Interwebz!

*blink*


Wow. Twas quiet last night, it seems.

The bike has officially been baptised. Rode in today in a pounding rainstorm, and I have to say after making a few small adjustments, the seat is now much more comfortable and I can make full use of the pursuit handlebars. I'll have full stats on the bike in both OGL and GU format in a few days.

Morning all. What did I miss?


Rant:
I want to smash the computer network at the department of jobs and family services. Two days I was unable to gain access to an open computer because I did not make it before the rush and would have to wait. To fulfill requirements in order to be seen & evaluated to receive grant money from the state for continuing education (and thus get a break from the weekly job search requirements), one of the things I had to do was to take a self-assessment test to determine my personality type to see what jobs would be suitable for me (that I might be overlooking). They have this program called Jasper that was reputed to take two hours and was suggested by the individual who ran the seminar in the same bldg.

I couldn't find it, so I took a short nifty little program called Brain that took me all of five minutes with twenty questions to determine whether I'm left/right brained (I'm out of my mind, actually!). I was left brained with a 50/50% audio-visual perception, which came to no surprise. Printed it out and placed the results in my folder. I then asked someone where this Jasper career self-assessment survey.

Derp derp derp. Hurr hurr hurr. No one knows what I'm talking about. I point it out to them .... ON THEIR SHEET THAT THEY PASSED OUT TO US. Light bulb dimmed all around. Asked this lady the advisor from the seminar claimed that was their computer guru and she replied, "I'm not sure ... but did you take the Brain self-assessment test?" "Yeah." "Printed it out?" "Done." "You can go with that as a substitute as one of the requirements to fulfill as it is in the same section as one of the options." "That's great .... but I really wanted to take that career assessment exam to help me reveal to myself what other job fields I should be considering." *blank stare*

I made this hour round trip drive ... FOR FIVE MINUTES!?!?!?!! I could have just done the Briggs Meyers test at home and flippin' told them I was an INTP.

*sigh* I feel your rage. I really wanted to do very bad things to the local Career Opportunities center last year. Especially after they cut off my unemployment because I tried to work at a temp job instead of sitting home and collecting a check. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I friggin' HATE bureaucrats.


This land cannot be truly great when the labor of so many people is wasted and the laws of the land are contravened by big business so that they can have access to economic slaves. Rawr!

Keep 'em dumb; keep 'em cheap; keep 'em plentiful.

When you did the census, right? Yeah. I did the math and sadly, I'd make more money sitting on my ass and I specifically recalled your circumstance.

Keep in mind, I'm going to refrain from pointing out the incompetency of their system if they take it personal and thus power trip and deny me any chance of a grant.

Truly, I don't want to do away with government, or have a corporate slave state, but honestly, can I have just ONE ..I mean ONE ..positive interaction with a municipal, state or federal bureaucrat? Maybe I'd look kinder on the system if I had any hope that the trillions of dollars being poured into it were bring spent, if not wisely, than in a reasonably non-wasteful manner?

Well, the captain finally revealed to his daughter Vicki that her true mother was actually Julie McCoy, the captain's longtime co-worker. Meanwhile, Burl was distraught to have lost his entire month's pay in a late night poker game with a suspected mob boss. And, in another part of the ship, Dr. Bricker finally learned the secret of how Isaac managed to seemingly be in multiple locations at once......No, wait! That's my soap opera!

Spoiler:
it's not so much my frustration lies on big vs small government, but wasteful vs efficient government. There are things that the government should stay the hell out of, but there are also things that the government should keep their hands in because I don't trust (by experience) the unscrupulous capitalists at the top tier living in luxury at the expense of slave wage labor. There are things that I've observed in the banking sector that I have questioned that is done for the profit margin by taking advantage of the gullibility of the average uninformed individual(s) who fully do not comprehend what they got themselves into nor did the person who pitched it to them fully understood it either -- aside from the fatter commission margin they'll receive as a result.

I had suggested at one time that commissions should not only be based on sales, but also on the basis of whether or not the risk was warranted for the customer to continually keep with payments versus defaulting. But that would require scruples; sales was going to have none of that.

Besides, the bank do make a lot of their money on those who aren't perfect payers. Waive a delinquency and/or a late charge here and there and the customer will think you're doing them a favor & thank you profusely for it, but what they fail to realize is that they're still being suffocated by the piling interest per diem being collected for each day further that payment hasn't been made timely. What was waived was gravy and would end up costing the bank more by spending the man hours tying up someone to argue with the customer by saying "no, we are unable to do this for you." After you get past the front line customer service, that is.

Okay, I'm done. :)

Alas, the complexity and lack of scruples you deride also invades the governmental side of things. I fully believe that the megacorps and the government are in bed fully. I don't want NO government, I want efficient government, written laws you don't need a JD to decipher and a tax code that only folks who can afford a tax lawyer can get around. I don't trust corporations, I am a big monopoly buster booster. But, I also consider the federal government such a monopoly, and we need to open up their contracts to the mil/ind. complex and their purchases/disbursements to some sort of ombundsman scrutiny. Otherwise the pols and their corporate cronies will continue to laugh all the way to the bank. And don't tell me we can vote them out. That only changes the top scrim of scum. The losers go to work on K Street as lobbyists until they can get reeelected. We need some serious changes or we are fooked.
