I feel like I need to hit the rules forum for this one.
My pants keep disappearing.
I will probably actually just not use some grappling monsters for awhile.
At least I wouldn't be the only one getting a kick out of that.
Ok that would cause a war.
Florida has pretty easy-to-obtain concealed carry, so there may be a pretty open loophole to exploit here.Can't I get an alligator with built-in artillery?(It was a small hole. He and his buddies had some black powder they'd bought in Mexico and made a shrapnel cannon with a steel clothesline support.)Again. They could have easily gotten themselves killed(maimed more likely).
And people yell at me for enjoying my adult material as a kid. I wasn't blowing holes in anything!
Both adult me and kid me know this was wrong, but both of us also agree we would have done it too. Because a'splode!
Heck, if I could build a black powder shrapnel cannon tomorrow, odds are at least 50/50 I'd do it. Because a'splode! And my self-preservation instincts are probably lower today then they were as a kid.
Can you not buy light artillery (at least) at your local 'mall', and get fresh shells (HE or armour piercing) delivered to you each morning with the bread and milk?
Is everything I have been told about Florida a LIE?
You're thinking of Texas.
In Florida they can't sell artillery at the mall because that would inhibit the natural destructive creativity of Florida Man.
However, you do get a free alligator with every bath salts or meth delivery.
Ah. New loophole. Take your alligator to Tennessee.

It’s time for deep questions from Celestial Healer:
Within the realm of cellphone etiquette, how quickly should one send a call from a friend or family member to voicemail if you are not in a position (or in the mood) to take that call?
On the one hand, sending them to VM quickly makes it obvious to the caller that they were sent to VM.
On the other, letting them linger and listen to the phone ring for an eternity seems disrespectful of their time, especially if you know you aren’t going to be answering it.
Thoughts?
(Okay, let’s be real. Anyone under the age of 60 would text first. I guess I’m just talking about parents at this point...)

I always just mute the ringer and let them leave a voice-mail.

I hate talking over the phone, text is the best way to get a hold of me.

Fantasy Monster: Owlslaught. Sort of depiction of owl companion that our online Grobacz birthday group's ranger has.

I usually just say "I couldn't get to the phone." If they press the issue beyond that I just mention the word "bathroom" and see how far they want me to go down that subject.

Hmm...I wonder how much you could piss off your players if you implied that there would be a lot of grappling monsters ahead so they would load up on spells to get out of it, and then you just didn't have those monsters use their grappling attacks?
Imply they should expect grappling monsters and let them choose their spells/magic consumables without GM comment.
Then throw several encounters at them with opponents swinging from/descending/climbing lines attached to grappling hooks.

We're discussing the leadership roles in our Kingmaker chat, and no one wants to let my horse be the king. I'm disappointed in them.
Tell them neigh!!!
They made me put a chicken as major in my kingmaker-esque game I ran. Clucky the mayor. that had a statue built of him.

Hello, John!
Watch out for Grappling Bears.
Hey john. Yes watch out for falling bears.
It's very difficult to fire a grappling bear out of a crossbow.

Not if you give it a nice trim and a landing strip to line up your shot.

Woohoo! After jerking us around for two months refusing to process any payments, the Texas Workforce Commission is FINALLY going to pay all the Unemployment that WW is owed from February 7th to now.
I'm still pissed, but also relieved. This has been pretty stressful.

How bad do you have to be at golf to hit a ball backwards.
The most hilarious part is there's no wind and he didn't look drunk.

The entire family now has their first doses of the Pfizer vaccine, so by May 17 we get maskless social interactions with other vaccinated individuals!
Woo hoo! Progress at last!
For the adults, it's pretty easy since our entire "social group" is just Shiro, Lara Croft Guy, and Joanie's parents, all of whom (except Lara Croft Guy) got in ahead of us. For the kids it's harder because we're near Berkeley and the liberal wing of the anti-vaxx movement, so I'm not sure we're going to see even 50% vaccination among the kids' friends. And Impus Major is really protective of us, so if his friends don't get vaccinated, he's perfectly happy to leave them in Social Distancing Hell for the foreseeable future.

You know you're having fun at work when you look up and realize it's a quarter after 4 pm.

Way to go!
Rough times lately. Move in less than a month. Lead up to it has been...rocky, to say the least. It's been really stressful.
That's rough!
We moved once when Crookshanks was a month old and then again to Wisconsin when she was a year old.
