An old college buddy invited me and Mrs Sunrise to a campaign DMed by herself and her husband.
My character is a shifter druid, which are apparently high powered again in 5e.
Oh and it's an evil campaign set in the underdark, what could go wrong? I have darkvision, don't know about those other suckers.

This looks good.Frederick Douglas was a boss.
EDIT: Yessir, may I have another?
like Fredrick Douglass, love John Brown.
He did nothing wrong.
I've been wondering about shape shifter druids in 2E.
I've been wondering about shape shifter druids in 2E.
How so? I remember in 2e you picked one animal form you could shift into, and that was it until like 16th level when you could turn into elementals? And iirc, your chosen form couldnt be a bear or whatever combat beast — wild shape was a utility power.
I just wondered if the 2nd edition versions was a big improvement.
Run done. Peloton arriving later today, then pool and sun and grilling and adult beverages and derby.
Derby? In september? wtf.

Wow. I would watch Daveed Diggs in *anything*, and this does, indeed, look good. And I have always liked John Brown.

Yesterday was a weird freaking day at school. I need this weekend so much. They took away my prep period and cut my one break from 30 minutes to 15. I'm tired.
WW is supposed to work all day Monday in the Census office, but it's also his 8-week renewal date, and he still hasn't been told whether that will be his last day or whether he's getting his contract renewed for Sept/Oct.
Fingers crossed.
Is it sexist that this week I got a mailer from the Trump campaign specifically addressed to me while the General got one from Nancy Pelosi.
I'm going to say yes, but then the question then shifts to, do I start a Twitter account to specifically call it out.

The answer is Do not make a Twitter.

My goal for Fallout 76 today is to find some f#+$ing Addictol (to cure my alcoholism, which I've been dealing with pretty much from my first day.
In hindsight, I should probably check with the First Responders.
My second goal is get another two hundred points so I can get the blueprints for the alien spaceship you can build in your camp, which will pair nicely with my evil wizard throne.
I also have to figure out how to flip useless perk cards that I chose (if I'd known about the expert lockpick card I wouldn't have spent an extra card trying to rank it up).

My camps are hilarious, most people build walls and add turrets, vending machines, and sychophants to their camp.
Not me, I have a small hovel for my sleeping bag, a few crafting stations, a turret, a stash box, a cooking station and my evil wizard throne which I always put at the highest point so I can lord over everyone like I'm f@*!ing Saruman.

My "camps" were always a pile of random crafting stations on the train tracks.
Because why not?

Success! I just went and claimed a couple of places withstood their pathetic little seiges and voila, spaceship!
After I finished with the dirt track siege that triggered some event wherein you have to hunt down a bunch of wolf pack leaders (for reasons!) so I pulled out my hunter's switchblade (because EVERYONE hunts with a switchblade) and went stalking through the woods murdering wolves until my bloodlust was sated. Of course, the king wolfpack leader was holed up on this farm something like two miles away and you only have so long to get to them because it's on a fifteen minute timer so I had to run to get there but you know Appalachia is a dangerous place (irregardless of nuclear war) but I didn't want to unequip my switchblade just in case I stumbled across another wolf pack or something, so I stabbed my way across the country to get there and then stabbed my way through the alpha wolf pack.
In my travels, a couple of miles, I stabbed to death the following.
2 Super Mutants
1 Raider
6 Bloatflies.
I'm pretty sure I could have stabbed more, but I was on a timer. But I did stab the s!*% out of the wolf king and his brood.
Now, I must rest and brood upon my throne to contemplate my next step.

I've decided to say f%+! it and just live with my alcoholism, turns out there's enough booze in Appalachia to enable me indefinitely it would seem.

Just like real life!
It's nice to see some places resist the march of time.
It helps that Appalachia is already barely a part of society in the first place so it stands to reason they'd have the shortest fall when it collapses.

It is not possible to adore Amby more than I do in this moment.
Wow! Thanks-
{just now notices hanging on the wall the Chekov's shotgun loaded with 12 gauge buckshot of disappointment} Oh no.
I just stabbed an entire herd of Radstags to death with my Hunter's Switchblade, and a Yao Guai.
Now I know what it feels like to be Leonardo Dicaprio.

I've reached that point again where I'm caps and ammo poor, but this time I have an assortment of knives and a mutant killing baseball bat that I should be fine until I can scrounge up some more ammo and caps.
I've ceded control of the PS 4 to Tiny T-Rex for the rest of the day.
Also, I cooked a radscorpion omelet and now I'm a recovering alcoholic.
In celebration I threw out my last bottle of craft beer and got killed by a group of super mutants.

I will say, even though Fallout 76 gets a bad wrap I had a blast playing with CH last night! I was actually going to stop playing when he suddenly shows up waving and we ended up rampaging for another three hours or so until I couldn't go on (I'd been awake since 4 AM, plus building a wall with 60 pound blocks all day).
We left a trail of carnage all over Appalachia, or at least the parts that don't immediately kill me (though they did kill me a few times).
I ended up playing it in my longest game session since I was college age and I got GoldenEye and four controllers.

My copy of 'D100 Dungeon' arrived yesterday - it's another solo RPG/dungeon crawling game, similar to 'Four Against Darkness', except a) you're on your own and b), it's a lot more rules-heavy - and I played my first game this afternoon.
You have to roll randomly for a lot of stuff - your class, your race, and the weapon and armour parts you get at the beginning, which meant I got a falchion, a scale male cap, some studded leather gloves, and some leather shorts, so I looked a lot like Rob Halford. Missed out on getting the MIGHTY CLAYMORE, which is the best weapon of the lot, and the only one with MIGHTY in front of its name, but that wouldn't have suited the character concept, anyway.
Falchions are ace, but being a a human rogue/mage with a strength score like I had, I wasn't going to be very effective in combat with it, and so it proved to be, until I got a hold of some throwing spears. Also, if you can't find any spells in the dungeon, you can't learn them any other way, which makes being a spellcaster a bit crap initially. I can now resurrect and clone myself, which is a start.
Overall, I haven't got into it in the same way as I've got into 'Four Against Darkness', but maybe it needs time to bed in.
Speaking of pseud-retro games. I started playing something called Wargroove. A very pleasant tactical game in the vein of (supposedly, I haven't played it) Advanced Wars, except it is a fantasy.

I did not play online untill world of warcraft.
We probably also didnt have good enough internet before that.
I first played in a guild with people who I knew real life. Was OK. When they quit fairly early in, I was left wandering a bit and quickly fed up with Alliance a$@!*@% boys.
When I switched to horde, I ended in a pick up group for blackrock spire with some weird norwegian dudes. Best fun I had in ages. They invited me to their guild. Played and raided with them (from molten core and onixia) untill the end of the lich king expansion.
By that time I was pretty done with the game and the time it ate.
Still in touch with my crazy norwegians :)

NH, dont tell gothbard. But today I want to an egyptian exhibition at a museum. And now I own a mummy cat plushy.
Pics or it didn't happen!
Well, the September heatwave is actually hitting us, so we got up to 94°F today. Thanks to the fires we also had an AQI in the 80s. On the bright side, since it was so hot we had everything closed up anyway so the air quality didn't affect us as much.
Plus, we bit the bullet and paid for Bill and Ted: Face the Music since it was the same price as going to a theater to see it, and it's a cute, perfectly decent finish to the trilogy. MUCH better than the second, with a lot of the sweetness of the first, but yeah, it's Bill and Ted. Great cinema it isn't.
EDIT: And I have to admit, as a fanboy I would've loved to have seen Ted break out some John Wick moves, as Keanu takes his training very, very, very seriously, but yeah, it probably would have distracted from the movie as a whole...
I got part of a wall built, I'm quite happy with that.
...
Retaining wall or decorative facade?

You should have gotten some decent loot from all those legendary alpha wolves.

Awesome!
I hope to join in the nuclear strike scene at some point but I'm guessing that's for someone more advanced than 23rd level.
I set up camp at a crossroads, and set up my evil wizard throne right at the fork in the road. I guess I should have put a stool and guitar there but I'm no Steve Vai so it wouldn't be authentic.
I'm also no longer cash poor as I got to the point in the season boardgame that awarded 2,500 caps.

I did, I found an animal killing switchblade, a bug killing bowie knife, and a mutant killing baseball bat, as well as an assassin's arm guard.
I should check that out. I love Advance Wars.
i also love advance wars.
Days of ruin doesn't get the respect it deserves.
No lie detected
especially after the spamming of enemies who had money draining/affecting based supers in the earlier games. It was a nice change.

Found some amazing cheap Mexican food at the flea market here. Seriously, the best tacos I've had outside of Texas near the border. One of those little family restaurants in the middle of a flea market where only the daughter speaks fluent English and everything is cheap as hell and it's hot as balls out. Hole in the wall for the win!

That’s always the kind of place where you get the best Mexican food.
