Yeah 32 degrees is rough. My BF would be sweating buckets. I'd be fine, as long as I was walking. But if I did any kind of physical exertion like running, then the heat would catch up with me too.

I barely sweat. My dad does t sweat either. So we dont loose heat fast enough. Summers are miserable for us.

If you wanted a green tea with milk and sugar, you should be going for this.

But my opinion is that if you do that it loses its ability to help you digest better, since the milk makes you full.

For me its more like tea with honey and milk is...?! Though Gong Cha serves black tea with milk and sugar, while adding tapioca pearls, cold and call it pearl milk tea.

Though when I was a kitten I used to take English tea with sugar, then gradually I cut the sugar, and now i take without sugar. I find that sugar actually hampers you from tasting the true taste of the tea.

At the end of the day I am an eat everything cat pretty much so yeah I eat most stuff. I mean I wouldn't take Lutefish, Blue cheese, anything too bitter, or spicy, or too sour but other then that - anything goes.

For Woran's benefit:

Yes, I ate fried grasshoppers before. And a scorpion in a lollipop(even took pictures, it too me an hour to finish the lollipop).

EXACTLY


I still have trouble with the idea of eating grasshoppers or locusts, even though (a) I absolutely love crawfish, prawns, lobsters... which, when you get right down to it, are just a kind of undersea insect, and (b)I understand all the ecological reasons why they are a more sustainable protein source. If I were to make a recipe with a strongly-flavored sauce, substituting one protein for the other (locust saganaki, for example) I would probably not be able to tell much difference.

And yet...

I dont like eating any worm insects because I have a mild phibia where I imagine them crawling in my body and I get freaked. Zo putting them in my mouth, even when they are dead, is a no-no

As Impus Minor put it, "That was the STUPIDEST ending to an AP, EVER!!!!!"

It was... hilarious.

And Impus Minor doesn't get off the hook:

Whingey Wizard wanted to know whether summoning worked in the area, so he summoned a brownie.
Shiro's goblin, seeing a cute small female creature appear, started flirting with her. Diplomacy 33.
Brownie, being fey and being hit on hard by the goblin, obliged him... at least for the 15 rounds she had left. Meh. Goblin.

Impus Minor: Well, i guess that brownie came out of an Easy Bake oven...

When we gamed in the Troll Hole, we went out of our way to buy bugs and serve 'em up:

  • Crickets: There's nothing wrong with the flavor, but it's like eating a dish with a bunch of small sticks or hay in it. I don't like them just because the legs 'n' such get caught between your teeth, stick in your throat, and it's just, "Why am I eating this?"
    I suppose if you de-legged them they'd be fine, but who's going to build a grasshopper de-legging machine?
  • Scorpions: There's a bitter part in them that REALLY overwhelms your senses when you hit it. So, "This is fine. This is fine. This is fine. This is.... YEAAAAAARGH!"
    So nope... don't like 'em.
  • Ants: Combine the worst features of crickets and scorpions into one small package. Again: Why?
  • Mealworms: We had the dried ones, so same issue as the crickets. I suspect fresh mealworms would be better.
  • Earthworms: Taste like dirt. Surprise, surprise.
  • The Exchange

    I actually thought fried meal worms might be nice. They're mostly protein. I'll skip on eating earthworms, but if I get an opportunity for fried meal worms, I'll take them.

    I thought crickets would taste like grasshoppers.

    And I shall eat spiders if I get the opportunity.


    One of my friends mentioned the other day that he rescues snakes, and he can hook us up with everything to take care of one.

    Haven't really tried all the bug stuff…
    Tried pan seared ants a long time ago, a touch too bitter for my taste though. Might be better if you caramelized them instead, to balance the bitter with some sweet they would go down a little easier.
    Then again my stomach complained from even trying the ants…could just have been a coincidence though (crosses fingers that his shellfish allergy doesn't somehow magically include terrestrial Invertebrate).

    Crimson Throne: A Brief Summary of the Stupidity:
    After the goblin-on-brownie (or vice versa) incident, the party had the big fight with the furies and Ithelier (or however you spell it), but Waves of Ecstasy from the cleric not only made what might have been a close fight much easier, but resulted in half the furies being "wracked by orgasms" for the fight. Awkward!

    Once Queen Ileosa knew her furies were done for, she started buffing herself, and the party could hear her. Instead of racing up the shaft leading into her room, they moved slowly, buffing themselves as well, giving Ileosa time to position the taniniver so that it could breathe on the entire party as soon as they were all in the shaft. The goblin, satisfied that he'd led a good life, would have none of that, so he flew up and used a Force Cage bomb (or whatever it's called) to trap the dragon, but a full-round attack from Ileosa sent him to over -100 hit points and that goblin fireworks factory in the sky.

    So, I was really excited because both Ileosa and the party wizard had Spell Turning up, and I was looking forward to a massive explosion. Instead, the wizard just flew up to within 10' of Ileosa and cast Antimagic Field, causing everyone to plummet to the bottom of the shaft and fall prone.

    Unfortunately, a level 20 bard, even with all the applied templates, was utterly no match for a level 17 fighter grappling (and then pinning) her, so one fighter grappled her on the ground while the other beat her with Serithtial as the cleric walled in the entire antimagicked combat area with Wall of Stone to make sure the queen wasn't going anywhere, even on a lot of lucky rolls. Instead, the NPC assassin, who'd been studying Ileosa, strode up and assassinated her. Ileosa's save? A natural 1, of course. Ileosa died rather ignominiously.

    To make matters worse, once Kazavon started coming through the portal, the party immediately knew to throw Serithtial in there, but the fighter failed his Fortitude save and was stunned, so that same NPC assassin made her save, made a massive Drag roll, and dragged the stunned fighter with Serithtial into the portal to end the campaign.

    Yep. All in all rather silly.

    Yeah the south Likes everything super sweet. They seem to hate bitter with a passion.

    Speaking as a born-and-raised southerner, yes. There is very, very little as far as food goes that could be defined as "bitter" that I care for. Meanwhile I have a runaway sweet-tooth and am quite aware of it.

    Though I prefer sugar substitutes to real sugar. Real sugar does not dissolve properly or evenly into cold tea. (Hot may be better, but again, I don't care for hot tea.)

    It's not as bad as it used to be, though. I tried Mountain Dew a few months ago and found I simply did not care for it as it was far too sweet; ten years ago I practically breathed the stuff. Likewise straight sweetened tea is a tad too much for me, I prefer it with lemon or lime juice. Unsweetened at all however is too much in the other direction.

    Yeah there are reasons I have made extensive plans to change that particular encounter significantly when I run this for my group.

    CT:
    Off the top of my head: making Ileosa much less of a one-trick pony and giving her some significant melee capability (not 100% sure how I'm going to do that, but I have ideas), making stopping Kazavon's rebirth take a lot more than dropping the right Tab A into Slot B, and a few other things involving minions and arena effects.
    I've got a couple more years of Savage Tide left to run first though, so I've got a while to figure solutions out.

    I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum and am extremely loathe in tampering with the AP even with the players cakewalking through the AP. I will change monster tactics (anyway most of the time they don't give listed tactics).

    If they are likely to have difficulties with random encounters I will reroll on the table saying,"Nope, it's not fair, I'm not throwing that on you."

    Fixed encounters I'm more of the line of,"Sorry, AP said what the AP said, sux to be you."

    I will consider very carefully before I even think about making changes to the AP.

    Of course if you ever saw me tweak the AP in a non CR appropriate way, it means I'm really, really pissed.

    I've got this really sore spot about people abusing NPCs...
