When are you back in the states?TBD. Possibly by Christmas, but I'm not expecting earlier than February. Maybe we'll be in Kuwait by Christmas, but it's really up to the politicians.Just be careful man. One of these days I will make my way to Houston and I want to say hi.
Also thank you for being over there.
+1!
Wouldn't a "Spank Me" sign be more appropriate?
Deployed naked spankings for ToP? ;)
just walk around with a target on your ass, its my plan for a future paizocon.Thank god I don't work on Saturdays anymore- If I came in from a hard night of screening and saw this, I'd certainly take it the wrong way. :-D
LOL! You and your second job. ;)
good morning everyone
Good afternoon!

Good luck with the house-hunting Jess; keep at it, Lynora; good morning and my condolences Aeglos; get home soon TOZ.

Yes.

that our female team is even capable of losig was a shock. we are so used to them winning that everyting before the final was just seen as pastime - and that is one 0f the reasons they where that bad :-/
In all honesty, the Japanese were a lot better than expected too. I'd say Japan - Germany was the best game of the tournament so far, followed by Germany - France and Sweden - USA.
Because I'm a little bit bored, translation from Swedish football-writer Simon Bank's blog:
I'm a Survivor
And there, half the World Cup ended. Germany is gone, the party is over.
But, you know what, that doesn't mean the stories get worse, or that reality takes a break.
First and foremost: This was a different sport than women's football four years ago, a different level, a different speed, a different physicality. It's no longer enough to be stronger and larger; in 2011 games can look like this one, with a furious tempo and a passing-speed that is at a different planet compared to just now.
Japan was quite simply better at most that has to do with technique and passing to do, they survived the defensive set pieces with good organisation, and they had the stamina to run for 120 minutes.
The World Cup's best game, hands down.
And the reality?
Well, if you saw the game, you also saw Aya Sameshima, Japan's number 15.
She now plays for Boston in the WPS, but the last five years she's played for a club called Tepco Mareeze. It's called that because it is owned, by the Japanese corporate model (which works the same on the men's side), by Tokyo Electric Power Company.
Tepco is one of Japan's largest energy-suppliers, but the players in the women's team had to work on the side to make a living. Aya Sameshima did so, as most of the other in the team, at one of Tepco's facilities.
The facility was a nuclear power plant. It was situated in Fukushima.
When the disaster struck, when Japan crashed through all the safety nets, the football team was away on a training camp. They survived, but there was nothing left to return home to, and now Aya Sameshima plays for Boston and for a national team which has begun every game in the World Cup by thanking the world for the support when disaster struck.
Before the World Cup Sameshima told people what she's really doing here.
- I want to play for the people of Fukushima, and for my team-mates who no longer can play football. I want to play with all my heart.
Now Japan is in the semifinals, and Germany knocked out. That does not mean the World Cup is over.
Because I'm a little bit bored, translation from Swedish football-writer Simon Bank's blog:
that's really touching, I did not know that. Thanks for sharing!
And he is correct, the World Cup is not over, we will do our best to keep the party going and support the teams still in the tournament
Out of the bath, turns on the TV, and 12 minutes into the game... Sweden 1, Australia 0. YAY!!

Sorry, I've been recuperating. Ran my Shadowrun game yesterday (no PC deaths, but plenty of paranoia. And I got them to spend most of the money from the last round, keeping them hungry for more...), then did laundry this morning, then I gotta leave in about 45 minutes for the Carrion Crown game.
If it were for some other personal stuff, this would be a great weekend!

Don't you mean if there weren't any personal stuff?
Glad to hear you're enjoying Shadowrun. We may disagree on edition, but we both still love the game. I haven't been in a Shadowrun game in...wow. A decade. I also miss the fiction, I don't think the newer novels are very good.
ah, there you all are
good morning america how are you?
Good morning folks! Seems like a nice day today. Already got the doggies up and taken care of and sounds like Treppa is awake too. Guess it's time to go put on my pants. :P
Don't you mean 'take off my pants,' my little Studpuffin? :*
So making up my own prelude adventure for Curse of the Riven Sky has been a real pain in the ass, particularly since my players won't do anything that I want them to.
They ran into a high-level duergar cleric who scared them so bad they all fled the volcano and were going to hightail it out of there when I had to remind them that they were under a geas to clear out the volcano.
So, they spent the next 14 hours making camp and resting up...after they had fully alerted a complex of dragon-worshipping dwarves to their presence...[facepalm]
Needless to say, they were quite surprised that the white dragon didn't sit around idly waiting for them to mount a second expedition and instead tracked them down to the crevasse they were hiding in.
Some good tactics ensued...and some really terrible ones. The half-orc had found himself toe-to-toe with said dragon.
"What kind of reach does the dragon have?" his player asked.
"Why don't I just show you his entry?" I countered.
"Hmmm. I take a five foot step back."
"Okay."
"And I cast a spell."
One attack of opportunity, a lost spell and a full attack later and poor Krugo Giantskinner was sent back to the breast of the Lord in Iron. No tears for Krugo, though, he was a right bastard!
Luckily, the sorcerer had a full complement of fire spells at the ready, so now my group has finally defeated a full-on dragon (albeit, a white one). Huzzah!
Anyway, I think the new player had fun and she'll be coming back. Huzzah!
Still, I'm going back to prewritten adventures.

I'd go with "Why am I wearing pants? I'm a bird for Pazuzu's sake!"
You'd better not make like a dove on a statue if you want to keep your tail-feathers. *swivels his figurehead*

What game is this and what are you running it on?
For those who like to write adventures....
I have a feeling my "Dormant Volcano of the Ice Drake" won't win. :(
And not only because I stole heavily from The Crystal Shard for good chunks of it. And, yes, the dragon's name was Icingdeath!
