Today was pretty good. Broken AC got replaced. Kidlet felt comfortable staying home alone for a couple hours while I ran errands. (This is a big improvement) I wore a new T-shirt. It says “My body is a temple, ancient & crumbling, probably cursed, harboring an unspeakable horror” Seemed appropriate for the monthly run to the pharmacy. :)
Green curry for dinner turned out amazingly well and went great with the purple rice (half nishiki half black cargo rice comes out purple), and I found gluten free Oreo like cookies! They were awful! Like a knockoff of the cheap knockoffs! It was awesome! (Look it’s been a while since I had Oreos, okay?)
And best of all, I am finally caught up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now off to get too little sleep before all the appointments tomorrow

Mort: the flexibility and variability of laws... :D
That was a great episode today.
I've always liked his film theories a bit more than his game theories though.Edit: and if you want to start a Lawful alignment war ask about unenforced laws...

The most sadistic thing you can do to a masochist is be nice to them.
Then there's me.
The sadist, who is Lawful good, finds it funny when people try to surpass his pain tolerance[not threshold, I have a normal threshold] and while I hate watching bullying, I'll troll you every chance I get. But you will learn something while I troll you.Edit: I've been told I have sociopathic tendencies...
But who's keeping track?

5'11" (though I haven't measured my height in ages), shoe size, hmmm somewhere between wide 42 and 43... Maybe closer to 43. What? You mean in your weird American numbers? That's, uh... Between 9 and 9.5... Uh... Why women's shoe sizes are different than men's shoe sizes?So that women don’t realize they can spend less money buying boys shoes... or it’s the whole weird everything must be gendered thing....or both. It could be both.
Ive started buying jeans from the mens department long ago.
Those jeans have pockets. I need pockets.|

Fun fact: The offending players in question were over the age of 25.
Under the PFS rules you cannot ban particular characters from your games, nor particular players, if I am not wrong, no?
Don’t get me wrong, I understand why the rules were there, so that PFS can get maximum number of people playing and don’t get GMs saying they’re not running games for certain people out of pique.
If you cannot answer certain things due to confidentiality as your position as a VC/VL/VO, I understand as well.
But on the other hand, there’s GM’s feelings to consider as well, and trying to run a game with people you don’t get along with just leads to GM burnout. And then you have a smaller pool of GMs.
In Singapore mostly everyone has played most scenarios non core, so they’re currently waiting for Pathfinder 2.0, and currently playing Starfinder. But before the scenario exhaustion, there was a shortage of GMs. I had a group that I ran scenarios from rather low level (3 ish), all the way to seeker level. They were cheese monkeys, but also an adorable bunch. I liked them.
Well…to me GMing is entertainment, but it really s*cks your energy when you have people you can’t get along with. And honestly it seems like you’re more likely then not to recruit one these types in an open recruitment.
While you cant ban a person from a public game space, short of as a group deciding that person is no longer welcome, you can absolutely refuse to GM for certain individuals.
Usually its up to a venture officer to try and avoid a situation like this, working with the parties involved.
Sometimes there are misunderstandings. Sometimes people just need a talking to. You want to avoid situations where you have trouble sceduling because Bob does not want to GM for Joe, because Joe plays an alchemist, and Bob hates the class.
If Joe however goes out of his way to derail the plot every time, and after some talking to does not improve, its Bob's every right to say he will not GM for Joe.
And if it ends up with no GM in the whole group wants to GM for Joe, then its best to ask Joe to leave.
Speaking as a general, we dont like conflict, and we dont like confrontation (we're generally more on the introvert side). So working out problems like that isnt the most fun, but something that does need to happen. If all GMs have their 'exclusive' people, then sceduling becomes hell. You want to avoind petty reasons, and if there is a good reason, to try and work it out first.
I've personally banned 1 person from my location. Not due to behavioral problems, but because he refused to contribute rent. Not a single cent. He had no reason not to (I know he had a comfortable job, he worked at the same firm as me).
That was a jerk move, and I told him he was not welcome untill he was ready to contribute. He's yet to come back after a year and a half.
GMing should be fun. If its not fun, you can shoulder trough for a while , but you'll burn out real quick. Your local PFS structure should support you in that.

Also this! With url'd link! :DYeah I'm playing Shaggy, Alchemist, with the construct rider archetype (which of course that is the Mystery Machine). I also took whatever Alchemist archetype (can't remember off the top of my head) that allows me to share my mutagen at half strength with allies (that's the Scooby Snacks).
I'm using the Shaggy minifigure and Mystery Machine minifigure from the new Lego dimensions game - it has a spot directly on top where I can have Shaggy sit when he's 'mounted'. (fixed link)
that one time that I saw TOZ play games!
Tell cyz, "hi!" for me, and sorry we were never able to get together!

Ummmm......not so sure about that....slime is not compatible with wool. I can’t give up my knitting!maybe we should turn you into a slime girl? The monster, not the band.Well, if you can figure out how to add some kind of healing factor to take care of the damage that all the dislocations and subluxations do, I’m all in! :)Vanykyre, I think you're like Lynora who can twist herself without even realizing it. But is your finger causing you pain or something? I don't think I'd go around with a broken finger...
Oh I'm also running a sleep defecit but it's my own darned fault for too much slay the spire. I just had an electrifying run last night.
Psst: I played the defect and focused on lightning powers, then started blowing everything up in short order. And it looked completely natural.
Oh, god, for his sake I hope not! I wouldn’t wish my issues on my worst enemy!
*pops jaw back into place* (not saying this for dramatic emphasis or anything either. I really did just pop my jaw back into its socket. It’s been acting up lately.)i am torn between wanting to heal you and wanting your x factor to continue your transformation into a superhumanly flexible being.
Wait, why cant we do both?
maybe we can get you a nice set of slime impermeable gloves so you can knit?

There was someone in Singapore playing a character that used the *private parts* of enemies as an improvised weapon. I understand player freedoms, but I cannot tolerate such behavior at my table. I'd flatly say you leave your nunchucks at the pathfinder lodge or you don't adventure.
Sorry Cover Turtle that I'm repeating myself, I've vented on FAWTL before. Cover Turtle said he would give the guy a long look and just say you don't do that, coldly while rolling RL intimidate.
There's another guy who causes derailment by extremely long rules arguments with the GM, every table he goes to. And when you're trying to finish your game before 11 and everyone misses the last train home... to say it irritates people is an understatement.

The only mention you made of mosquitoes was when you were talking about how hot Florida is. Other than that, no.Yeah, I can find a few others, but not the post I'm looking for: it was actually one I was talking about morality and comparatively (seemingly) reprehensible actions and mass extinction by creating a fake creature that just so happened to (intentionally) strongly resemble... mosquitoes. I've found a lot of my posts simply aren't coming up in post searches anymore. Anyway, thanks! Goodnight!
dont we already have mosquito hunters?

Last I looked at this was around 10:15am yesterday. Took off work yesterday and still out today due to an uncomfortable stomach situation. I *could* work from home, but I really don't want to right now, so just trying to catch up on stuff in between trips to the bathroom.

More seriously, women need quality clothing. With pockets. That enhance their cuteness.

The 7 FaWtL?

I think it's hilarious that the only two actual suggestions are, in fact, for the same movie.
(Yes, they are, in fact, the same movie.)
Just to shake things up, I'll throw in the other titles that could possibly be generated from that film:
- The Magnificent FaWtL
- The FaWtL Samurai
- FaWtL Magnificent 7
- FaWtL Seven Samurai
Anyhoo, I actually like the first two, sans "l33t speak," more than I thought I would.

I love the story about Kurasawa sending Sturges a sword as a gift.
Also, I'd forgotten that Vin lived.
Because McQueen always dies, like Sean Bean, I "remembered" him dying in this one, too. Weird.
EDIT: Oh, yeah. Because he died in Mexico.
