The only thing that sucks more than the bad news is the waiting.

There is a FAWTL steam group. Everyone interested feel free to join.

Might hopefully turn up here...if I can get my act together ^^'
This story's for Freehold. Maybe.
So yesterday on the way to Mrs Sunrise's birthday escape room event, she wanted coffee. So when we saw a sign for "Bikini Beans Coffee," she said "Oh good, let's stop there." The sign should have been a clue, but neither of us thought anything of it. We pull up to the beachcomber style coffee stand, and out walks a 120-pounds-soaking-wet 20-something in a bikini to take our order.
Mrs Sunrise's comment to me: I guess it's your birthday too!
Belated happy b-day to Mrs Sunrise!
Also……
I suddenly feel like having a coffee…

Delivered by a soaking wet 20-something in a bikini :p
Also, f&@* cancer.
*Waddles by Worna's house with a bundle tied to his shell and knocks on her door*

*Also snuggles up besides Woran, giving her a sympathetic look while listening to her intently and offering her hugs or reassuring pats on her forearm*

What's it like having long hair in Green County?
When I went to the gas station to get diesel for our mini bobcat I cheerfully held the door open for a person, he stopped, and instead went to the other entrance to go inside.
We've been working at this house in the backyard while painters paint the house, I tried talking to the guy ALL DAY while co-worker was driving, dude doesn't say shit just glares. I leave the yard to go clean up and move our trailer and the guy just starts yakking with co-worker, I walk in back and it's back to silence and glaring.
Co-worker, yesterday, goes to the quarry in the next town over and the guy is super nice "oh sure, just weigh in, let the guy load you and then weigh out and leave the slip" I go there in the exact same truck the next day and he's all combative "well, I'm going to need to get your company name and billing address so I can confirm this before I load you up".
Anyway, so when I got the information from our truck I knocked my phone on the floor board and it fell through the massive rust hole on the driver's side (not to be confused with the massive hole on the passenger side) and was promptly run over by a dump truck.
I told the boss I'm fine driving a Flintstones truck as long as he hooks me up with a PteradactylSaw.

That makes sense. I may have had my vocabulary infected by later editions - that might be a reason I'm not finding what I'm looking for (though I thought it was the language used).
Tiers of play essentially tells you what kinds of adventures you tend to go on, depending on your level.
As a made-up half-example:
1-3: village heroes
4-6: heroes of the city
7-9: heroes of region
10-12: heroes of the country
13-15: heroes of continent
16-19: heroes of world
20+: heroes of foreverObviously it doesn't quite line up like that; I literally just took groups of three levels and made up something about them. You could go into more specifics, like:
Quote:1-3: village heroes - At this tier of play, the PCs are generally facing threats that might threaten a few people, or even a small village. Perhaps saving a child lost in the woods, a farmer's daughter that was kidnapped by a small gang of thugs, or exploring an old graveyard said to be haunted.(Again, this is just made up by me just now.)
Basically, I'm trying to find the "scope" expected at different levels of play across the 3e-to-PF systems.
Back in 2007, Ryan Dancy said this on an RPG.net forum post:
"D&D 3/3.5, by design, changes roughly every 5 levels. You may find that your group becomes comfortable in one of those 4 quartiles, or you may find that your group enjoys the changes of pace that happen when moving from quartile to quartile."
Someone on EN World broke 3/3.5 down into quartiles like so:
Levels 1-5: Gritty fantasy
Levels 6-10: Heroic fantasy
Levels 11-15: Wuxia
Levels 16-20: Superheroes
Of course some of you may have heard of the E6 hack of 3.5 by Ryan Stoughton which was birthed from this discussion, to keep play in the Heroic Fantasy realm.
Hm. More straightforward than I recalled, but okay! Also, it uses the "quartiles" language, so that might have been part of my problem. Neat!

I actually found that exact post yesterday when you asked the question, but I didn't think it was what you wanted. It doesn't seem right to me, anyways, because I consider those different styles of play rather than different power levels. You can be pretty strong and still have a gritty style, or be weak as balls but act like a superhero.

Devil: Why are you so sad?
Guy: Why do you think? I'm in hell.
Devil: Hell's not so bad. We actually have a lot of fun down here. You a drinkin' man?
Guy: Sure, I love to drink.
Devil: Well you're gonna love Mondays then. On Mondays, all we do is drink. Whiskey, tequila, Guinness, wine coolers, Diet Coke. We drink until we throw up and then we drink some more.
Guy: Gee, that sounds great.
Devil: You a smoker?
Guy: You better believe it.
Devil: All right! You're gonna love Tuesdays. We get the finest cigars from around the world and smoke our friggin' lungs out. If you get cancer, it's okay -- you're already dead.
Guy: Golly!
Devil: I bet you like to gamble, too.
Guy: Yes, as a matter of fact I do.
Devil: Good, because Wednesday is gambling day. Craps, blackjack, horse races, you name it. You like to do drugs?
Guy: Yes, I love to do drugs. You don't mean...?
Devil: That's right! Thursday is drug day. Help yourself to a great big bowl of crack. Smoke a doobie the size of the Titanic. You can do all the drugs you want, and you'll never die -- you're already dead.
Guy: Neat! I never realized hell was such a happenin' place!
Devil: You gay?
Guy: No.
Devil: Oh. You're gonna hate Fridays.

You should. It has Johnny in it.

They just don't exist at the price point of White Castle and Old Country Buffet. Or Denny's. Or Waffle House.Beyond politics, I've never been impressed by their food. It's just chicken, a slice of pickle, and a touch of butter.
I'm not above some garbage food (there's a local BBQ place that does a bacon-wrapped fried hot dog covered in their chili) - but Freehold likes both White Castle and Waffle House. This I cannot condone.
Yes. But pickles are gross.
