With the P1 sale ongoing. Which campaign setting books do you deem valuable? Our group has been toiling around Faerun for so long we are looking to switch things up next campaign. Collectively we have 0 knowledge of Golarion.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Well that's not a simple answer. Golarion is a kitchen sink of a setting - just about every major genre is represented in this one setting, so it really depends on what you're looking for.
Start with the Inner Sea World Guide as a good general book, and that will give you a better idea of what kind of "theme" is in each region, and then you can get more specific from there.
EDIT: I'm terrible at book names.

In Tiger & Bunny, I know there is reference to a “Power-type NEXT” (Cis was erroneously identified as such, and Tiger was accurately identified as such) but does anyone know of any other “types” of NEXT listed in-universe?

I ordered a few things off Amazon, and took advantage of their $2 trial for a week of Prime, mainly so I can watch Good Omens. I have watched half of it so far, and think it is generally good. And then I come to work tonight, and we have a guest named Crowley. What are the odds?
Before that show, a very very very small chance. Since then? 3 in 16.

2:28 AM, here.
The neighbor is not being noisy - there isn’t really anything loud.
But I can feel the vibrations of that ginormous truck in my friggin’ bones. Alos inner-ear canal, and my ear tubes partially clogged with back drain. The floor is vibrating. The rhyth of the DAGGUM ENGINE.
Bzzzzt. Bzt. Bzt. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt. Bzzzzzt. Bzt. Bzt. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt. Bzzzzzt. Bzt. Bzt. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt. Bzzzzzt. Bzt. Bzt.
Over and over again. I don’t know how long, but I woke up realizing the rhythm has invaded my sleep tonight for a very long time - fragments of numerous dreams disturbed or even shattered by it.
Like, there is literally nothing reasonable to get mad at them for.
“Hey, you know, you can’t actually hear any noise, but the vibrations are driving my inner ear insane. Yes, right, I understand that I’m a dozen yards away, at closest, and, as noted, I can’t actually ‘hear’ anything. But, see, the floor of my house vibratesfsintly to the rhythm of your engine cylinder. Right. Only slightly. Yeah, it’s funny, our AC makes the house shudder far, far more when it hits overdrive. Right, so an extremely slight vibration from your vehicle parked in its driveway that I can feel through the floor and in my bones has been disturbing my sleep for hours. Yeah, it’s even fainter than the electrical hum - you know the barely audible ringing sound that only exists when a place has power (or electricity is running over large cables), and you can’t even notice is most of the time? Yeah, so anyway, that thing. Do you mind... not doing whatever reasonable thing you were on your own property with your own property? Thaaaaaaaaaaaanks.”
There is nothing reasonable about such a request. The family is half “nightlife” people due to jobs in the nursing profession, anyway.
It also seems that literally no one else is bothered by this - everyone else in my house has slept through the whole thing, and my wife doesn’t make the little tale-tell faces or movements she normally does when something disturbs her sleep.
This is literally just a “me” problem. But. That FRIGGIN’ ENGINE RHYTHM. It is everywhere I go in the house, and-
Oh! It stopped! How nice. Now to see if I can coax myself back to sleep.

I have similar issues with smells nobody else notices. There was a time, several years ago now, where Aiymi and I were getting ready for bed. I'm sitting in the bed and I started smelling cigarette smoke. Nobody in townhouse smoked. I had never smelled smoke through the walls from our neighbors before either. Aiymi argued with me. Then she went to the window. She saw the glow of a cigarette...in a car...in a driveway two doors down...through our closed window...on the second floor...
Yeah. I get it.

Er, idling a freaking truck for minutes/hours at a time!?!?!?!?
I've complained vehemently about it before, and I'll complain vehemently about it again: There is no rational reason to idle a modern vehicle, especially in a warm climate like Florida at night.
So yeah, owning a stupid big rumbly pickup truck is already a huge knock on your neighbors in my book (I doubt he's ever used it to actually haul anything), but sitting there idling it makes him a jerk. Whether it be at 2:00 am or 2:00 pm.
So go ahead. Feel the wrath. Join the dark side...

OK. I'll admit it. My new build has me falling in love with Linux all over again.
Yeah, getting it up and running is a nightmare.
But then the whole, "Yeah, I'm going to be stable forever. Oh, you want to do xxx? Of course I can do that! Just install this package and do a bit of configuration," is SO nice.
I got it running, I fixed the kinks, and now it's just a rock-solid, "Do anything I want" system, without having to pay for extra software, and without having to worry about random updates resetting my settings. It's a nice feeling...

I feel you man.
I have VERY sensetive hearing. That electrical hum? I can hear that often, and it drives me nuts.I'm that weird person who keeps things in powerstrips and then shuts off the power strips so things wont be making their annoying electrical noises while they are in standbye mode.
