I think I can buy only what's on the Chronicle Sheets.

The Exchange

Core or RPG mode? If you’re playing RPG mode, you can buy anything that you have the books for, which is PFS legal.

If Core mode, then what’s in CRB + Chronicle sheets.

In which the list would fall to:
Holy Longbow +4
Locked Gauntlet
Belt of physical perfection,
Headband of wisdom +6
Cloak of Resistance +5
Ring of Freedom of Movement
Ring of protection +5
Boots of speed
Pearl of Power (2) - Level 1.

Consider getting someone to cast heightened continual flame on something you have, like a rock or so you can drop out.

Consumables:

Potion of invisibility
Oil of daylight
Potion of gaseous form
Potion of delay poison
2 potions protection from evil
Potion of Fly
2 Scrolls Lesser restoration
Potion of Darkvision

PFS has weird rules on what you can masterwork or not. I know someone wanted to hit people with adamantine frying pans but I said in PFS it might not be allowed.

I'm guessing if I wanted to I could get a mid teen character created from Strange Aeons and Reign of Winter credits. If I could be arsed, which I can't.


I won't say that I don't get the appeal of heavy metal. I think I understand that it's supposed to feel cathartic, in a bastard-spawn-of-blues-and-punk kind of way. And I love the blues, and I really like old punk (Hermione and I had a conversation once when she asked me what I was listening to, and I tried to explain the concept of 70's punk, and she asked me if it was "steampunk".) And while I find both of these enjoyable in and of themselves, all I usually feel when I listen to metal is like I need to find a fallout shelter and hide because we're all gonna die. I won't say that I don't like it or that it's not "musical", it just makes me worried and stressed.

I pretty much hated metal throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s. (Except for stupid glam metal like the Scorpions, which hardly counts.)

Then Impus Major introduced me to European metal, and I'm just gonna say, the Europeans just do metal better.


So if people still made mixtapes--not playlists, actual mixtapes, and not the 90-minute Maxell gold either, but the short tape that can only take about six songs per side--what would be on your ultimate mixtape? The one you would play when you felt rotten and needed to be reminded that the world isn't entirely crap?

Heavy metal! top 5 bands go!

In no particular order:

Kamelot
Sonata Arctica
Within Temptation
Nightwish
Falconer


(Which, btw, is not a reflection of how I'm feeling now. I'm just testing out a theory that people who like harder rock and metal have a different emotional response to music than people who like, well, "softer" music.)

Some lady instructors wear shoes that have toes when they're doing dance based classes, ie zumba, k-pop, piloxing. There are even toe shaped socks, I'm not sure what they do...

Apparently heavy metal fans aren't loud and obnoxious, they're just newer generation could-be classical music lovers.

Half-Truism: The Offspring

Holiday in Cambodia: The Dead Kennedys
Our World: D.O.A.
I Need a Hero: Bonnie Tyler
Escapist: Nightwish
Wake Me Up Inside: Evanescence

That's 6, most of which would probably make the final cut if I spent more than 10 minutes on this...


Holiday in Cambodia is a brilliant song.
California Uber Alles is still my favorite DK song, but that's the runner up.

California Uber Alles is my favorite DK song, but you asked me which I'd crank up as a pick-me-up. There's a difference.

EDIT: I mean seriously -- I don't think I'd put Bonnie Tyler in my "Top 20 favorite songs of all time" list, but OMG if you crank "I Need a Hero" to 90 decibels and you don't feel like jumping out of your chair and screaming a lot, there's just something wrong with you.

Man I don't think I could ever narrow it down to just six. Or if I did, I'd re-record over the tape a week or two later. That's certainly what I did with my many cassettes that I recorded songs onto when I was a kid.

Clocked in.

Offspring: Smash and Americana are both perfect all the others have songs on it that are good but I can't listen to the CDs straight through like those two.

Nope. Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace is their best.

EDIT: Though I'll admit, Smash is definitely an end-to-end listen. Americana doesn't do it for me as much.


Well I think the problem with americana is that's always the album the radio grabs from so you tend to hear those songs more then any others.

I swear I hear "pretty fly", or more likely "The kids aren't alright", every time I turn my radio on (at least back when I listened to radio. yay for modern music devices. )

If I admit I like Pacabells Canon in D do I get stoned or burnt at stake?

There are a few weird laws in the netherlands too:

1. You cant feed seaguls in the city of Haarlem

2. You're not allowed to use chalk to draw on the street/pavement in Maastricht

3. You're not allowed to grow peach trees in the province of Flevoland.

4. After 22:00 its forbidden to play any kind of ball game in the city of Maassluis

5. There are very strict laws in rotterdam about your dog barking. Is your dog too loud too often? You can get fined. Pretty steeply too.

6. In the city of Meppel its forbidden to spy on people. This includes peeping into someones home when they are not there.

7. a LOT of cities have outlawed metal detectors for use by the public.

Yeah but you guys have had legal weed and shrooms for decades, so it's worth iy.

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is broody and wonderful.

Not a fan of metal tho, unless you count certain Battlestar Galactica themes.

And I don't think metal fans do.

This is totally off the top of my head without thinking in depth...just a few songs I love:

Incubus - Pardon Me
Muse - Madness
Imagine Dragons - Demons
Watsky - Whoa Whoa Whoa
Jack Johnson - Better Together
Michael Jackson - Thriller

Nothing wrong with Canon in D. It's so good everyone copies it. That was the point of that video from long ago: it's ripped off in everything.

My favorite "classical" (not technically the era but the style) composer is Yasunori Mitsuda. The soundtrack for Chrono Cross was amazing and the only part of that game that wasn't a disappointment.

I like Lindsay Sterling too for mixing classical, techno and trip hop. I'm a sucker for the violin. It's so beautiful. Piano has more versatility but a well played violin can just move you more...I don't know how to explain it.

Well I'm umbral. Umbral dragons are similar to black but live on the shadow plane primarily, can eat incoporeal undead, and breathe negative energy.

Are you saying all black dragons look alike?


Had Formula D league tonight. One the guys chose to only run 1 car because "I do sooooo much better when I'm only running one car instead of two." True, he did manage to move from 5th or so up to 1st, and had an impressive lead over 2nd place, but then he crashed on the last corner of lap 2. Now he's going to finish in last place. So, maybe he should have run two cars.

I don't like the violin. It's so squeaky. Besides there aren't many songs you can play solo on violin while piano you can carry off most songs.

Cheering up is a bit tricky, I do like a bit of catharsis when I'm down. So something like;

My Dying Bride: Crown of Sympathy
Anathema: Fragile Dreams

Whilst something catchy like;
Katatonia: Sweet Nurse
Within Temptation: Ice Queen
Killing Miranda :Discotheque Necronomicon

Are a bit more uplifting, as are most symphonic metal.
