We've instituted a Jerk Jar, any time the kids are a jerk to each other they have to put a quarter in the jar (they've been pillaging my spare change for years, they can afford it)
Edit: Damn kids! my clothes better be on the lawn, damn kids, ain't got no respect!

Definitely. Praying for you guys.I did that last night. Tonight I have an art class with the wife. Neither of us have had any sleep and we are both very angry, sad and weighted down. I should be hearing new information any moment about the situation but Its been a very rough 24 hours.Best wishes from us all - hope it gets sorted out :)
I for one hope that your life improves a lot!!!

Loved season three of American Horror Story Coven, super awesome, I thought Jessica Lange's version of hell was an especially nice touch, I'm pretty sure I lived in that house. :-)

Cap, how do the quarters get back out of the Jerk Jar?? Good deeds? Or are you just recouping your losses, as it were?

Any paritcular reason? Is there construction or something?very much so. My boss has been breathing down my neck about it. It is getting to the point that it would be faster to walk.Has it been taking longer than usual lately?Over an hour commute to work today.
This is getting out of hand.
there was some construction and roadwork on Friday. But nothing to back up me needing an hour and a half to travel a distance that takes 50 minutes to walk.

greentea is an avowed hater, too. "More money invested = plays better" is his gripe. Which I get. Don't think I know yours, though, cap'n.
But ol' Xorn is an evangelist about his beloved game. And I get that, too. Perhaps on an equal footing as I am about Star Wars, even. And y'all have read quite a bit of me "telling it like it is" on that subject . . . .
I just don't get card games. Outside of War and Go Fish I need the rules explained to me every time, I even get lost hand to hand.
Also most of my brothers got into it pretty hardcore and thus gave up D&D, which only left my brother that sent beholders and mind flayers at our fourth level characters, and me being the martial or rogue type bore the brunt the disintegration and mind raping.
So i gave it up until discovering 3.5 which stopped for fourth edition not even a year later.
Of course, no Beholders or Mind Flayers in pathfinder. :-)
Oh, man. Too bad about the 3.5 --> 4th transition happening so fast . . . . I still like a lot of 3.5. I *have* most of the 3.5 products, in tandem with Darth Narsus (aka Phalanx-brother). We got most of 4th, too, though . . . . Since finding Pathfinder, we haven't gone for 5th yet; I'm just picking it up by default so I can game at all.
4ths vs beholders and mind flayers? Ummm. Sadistic much?

I hate magic with a passion. It(and other card games) appeals to the absolute worst in people, only mmos are worse. But I also know one of the first true world champions of magic. We went to high school together. My friends and I all laughed when he went to Japan to play Magic. But he came back a legitimate millionaire, and oh man... Did I have to eat crow and apologize. He now owns a FLGS opened with the championship money(at least in part).
". . . appeals to the absolute worst in people . . . ."
How do you mean?
Daggummit.
I'm trying to download pictures from the iPhone.
This shouldn't be this hard, nor should every step take multiple hours to process.
I'm not sure how, but I feel fairly confident in ascribing the blame to Windows 10. Even if it's not true, it makes me feel better, as Windows 10 has been an (at least mildly) frustrating, irritating experience everywhere else (except where it does the same things it used to)*. >:/

just what I said. It appeals to the worst in people. Or maybe I should say it brings out the worst in people. I have seen a lot of ugliness come out of people who play the game regularly and wizard's business model with respect to the game did not help.

Today's the day. Scarf breakfast, finish packing, get the U-haul, it's go-time!
GO GO GO!!!
After two crazy days, we are successfully moved and mostly unpacked.
...Well, half unpacked.
...Maybe one-third unpacked.
Aaaand I still need to clean out the old place before the month's end, and pick up a few odds and ends that we need for the new house.
It's been exhausting!

Considering how easy it is to find bad eggs in most every hobby or endeavor, I'm not sure that burden should be laid on a particular game. Sounds to me like you've mostly been exposed to the "higher tiers" of play -- tournaments and such --, and those are pretty cutthroat, I'll grant. But jerks will out themselves no matter what they like.
I have no argument at all against business models and cash-grabbing efforts on the part of corporations -- what else could we expect from Hasbro?? And they expect/demand things of WotC -- proceed ad nauseam from there.
Me and my EDH group play at the "kitchen table", free of tourneys and the constant push to get playsets of all the newest/best cards. We're effectively resting on the laurels of the ridiculous amounts of money I was making a few years back, some of which I invested in the cardboard just because I wanted a diverse array of decks. We game 'cause we're friends/family, and we're friends/family 'cause we game.
I reckon I've just been lucky. Sorry your mileage varied.

Are you with anyone else? If so: a solo player PF-lite game.
Take a prepublished module. Build a character (or, if you take turns*, you can build two and either have one be "on stage" or let them share a bound scar of destiny - so each is more or less aware of what's going on but literally doesn't exist while the player is GMing) that's a little over-powered for the module. Have the GM run the module for the solo character (mythic agile template encouraged, but not strictly necessary - just be prepared in case your character dies that you as a group know how you want to handle it).
Dice are handled by GM (usually electronically) or by "I choose a number, you choose a number; non-GM says theirs out loud and GM adds numbers and wraps around to minimum and counts up from there, if the sum exceeds the maximum dice value" or some other system of your own devising.
For information on the scar of destiny, and simple mythic templates (agile) look on d20pfsrd.com; it's an official Paizo publication product.
I recommend a build where you can remember the gist of what it can do - if you can't recall the specifics, whoever isn't driving should be able to look it up for you. Heavy prep work for the GM (unless they wing a lot, which is fine, too, depending on style), but fun.
If you can't make a character, roll up a random monster - awakened if it needs to be - and do the same thing.
Lawful neutral incubus hellknight you've always wanted to play? Decent chance.
Origin story can be anything you need, but remember, no matter what world you're in, "the mana wastes and maelstrom cover a multitude of wwwhhhhhaaaaaa...?" and generally speaking super-hero origin stories work well for whatever weir thing you come up with.
If you e played all the prepublished modules you own, no sweat: play again or have the GM paint that desert town as a desert... ted island! That prison module is now an extraplanar town full of necropolitans (non-evil undead template from 3.5) and no way out! That big city in Brevoy is now a jungle city or even an extrplanar metropolis! That jungle town is now a backwater thorp or northern hamlet of modern suburb of... you get the idea. Go nuts.
If you're by yourself... I dunno. I used to entertain myself with thoughts of my various games and characters that I'd like to play.
* I meant if you take turns GMing - I tend to guess that people take turns driving, but I know it doesn't always work out that way. If you can't GM and drive, than you SHOULD take turns GMing.
