Guess the site is back up.
Nope. You failed a Sanity check and are hallucinating this.
Go lay down. Don't worry. Try to ignore the clown with the shark teeth and glowing red eyes in your closet. It'll be all right in the morning.

And Mort, if you need a break then obviously take one. But please come back here from time to time. I need someone to help me drive Vidmaster7 crazy.
I frankly don't think you guys need that much help... She is the first one to dis the beard however.

Speaking of driving someone insane we have a wrestling team staying with us tonight. So noisy. I hope all the irate people that their bothering sleep in and can yell at 1st shift for it.

I already had to call them out on yelling. Seriously its midnight Go to bed!

Go to bed? Yeah, that'll happen. Just as soon as the adults responsible for them stop drinking and start doing their job.
Not my group, not my job!

NobodysWife's description of our cat Lily:
"She's like guy who walks up and sits down really close next to you on a bench in the park, then starts punching you in the arm. And if you try to push him away or stop him, he pulls out a knife and stabs you."
That's our Lily, all right!

Random Question:
Have any of you ever had a piecaken that was worth the trouble of actually lifting your fork to your mouth?
If so, what was the pie/cake combination?My son's birthday is Pi Day and he really wants a piecaken birthday cake.
After last year's Justice-League-on-a-Train-Cake debacle that had me ugly-crying on the floor of my kitchen, I'm glad he wants something easy this year, but I don't want it to taste awful.
I found a recipe for a peanut butter pie baked inside a brown sugar chocolate cake, but I'm afraid it will be too sweet for even a five year old.
Other ideas include: some type of berry pie inside chocolate cake, peach pie inside sour cream butter cake, pecan pie inside hummingbird cake, etc.
Thoughts?
LM - I only bake two kinds of cake these days. Banana cake and orange cake. I've never made a pie. If you want either recipe let me know, but I won't be able to get to you till Tuesday as I am not anywhere near where I stashed the recipes.

Vidmaster - well clearly I don't have a beard nor will I be growing one anytime soon...
So of course the solution if you don't fit into the helmet must be snipping off the beard! =)
Also HS is giving me crap since I can only open blizzard app in compatibility mode or it gives me an error then crashes.

First: no one you guys know is in trouble. My wife and kids are all fine. This refers to a thing that's happening elsewhere.
Second: sorry for the wall. I spoil'd it so you don't have to get inundated. (Also religious things, but mostly horrendously large walls of text.)
Third: I love you all. You're awesome and valuable and I'm glad you're my friends.
Fourth: Sorry about the whine. It helps to share, I suppose. :)
** spoiler omitted **...
Hey we here for you man, might not share the religious demension with you much, but listen, learn and give support is something I can do if you need it.

We got about three inches (of snow) last night, bringing our unofficial since the groundhog hosed us total to about 20 inches (of snow).
Bring. It. On.

I have come to the conclusion that people found on the paizo forums are not the kind of people I should be running games for - and as such I will probably slowly pull out of any PBP activities I am on/have signed up on the boards. And with that, my activity in FATWL will decrease since I can only talk about things that I like, and since there's nothing holding me here...per se.
And the sad thing is I still believe that I make a better GM then most of those people out there.
Its a rather sad day for me.
And I think I am too different from anyone on the boards. I did at first think sure I can't game in RL because of schedules/times, then realized that even on the boards I am an odd duck.
It's harsh getting your illusions shattered. Ah well. Sux to be me.

Your not different. Your Unique, and I truly appreciate that. Heck reading about your expolits and "Raw-fulness", actually made me genuinely curious about having a more stirct approach to GM'ing instead of my own particular lazy laissez faire style.
Heck, I would love to try and play under your watchful gaze. even if it would be inviting disaster, as I'm told I can be somewhat of a challenge as a player as I sometimes (qoute): read Rules as boundries to be tested and Setting Flavour as malleable guidelines.
Please don't let other people get you down Kitty! Hang up that hat for while. Rest and recouperate. Then hopefuly you'll hear the siren-call of the hat again someday.

Doesn't "turducken" have an "n" at the end because it's a portmanteau of "turkey" and "duck" and "chicken"?It has an "n" on the end because of turducken.Pie...cake...n?
Never heard of such a fusion. And why is there an N at the end?!
Anyhow, sorry, can't help. Berry pie seems like it might go well with vanilla cake, but that's a stab in the dark.
Yeah, but we also put "-gate" after everything because of Watergate despite it being the name of a hotel. Modern lexicography is stupid.

Thats horrible about Lily. But I am actually appreciative for the downtime in this case. Gives me some time to just get some distance away from everything.
*deep breaths, kitty cat*
Did you know you can't keep cats in HDBs here? You can keep dogs though...
I don't know what an HDB is.
But Lily is a running joke. She's a calico, so you kind of expect pissy behavior, but when we were searching for a new kitty at the shelter she was a basket case: She'd been living on the streets for a year, was preggers, got brought in, and had an emergency spay. So she was hopped up on all kinds of hormones when we "interviewed" her and was the most loving thing we'd ever seen.
Once the hormones wore off, the *only* thing she loved was Impus Major. Every other human needed to bleed or die. But having a cat THAT loyal to your mourning 6-year-old is something special. And as I've posted before, there is something about her in that she recognizes young children and won't hurt them. She rubs against them, purrs, and suffers their abuses. Once you're over 3' tall or so, it is time to learn to bleed.
Unless you're in the bathroom, in which case she loves you unequivocally.
She's our eccentric, "Love you or stab you", crazy calico.
I'm sure she's going to live to 25, just because she needs that long to make enough people's lives miserable.
But she really is a wonderful cat, as long as you don't try to cuddle her unless you're teensy.

In other news, over everyone else's concerns I'm bringing Impus Minor to the Sunday game to play our halfling paladin NPC. Because I want to be able to roleplay in the ONE game I'm in, and playing a CG gnome rogue and a LG halfling paladin at the same time would break my brain.
We'll see how much Impus Minor understands "paladin".
My guess is, "Not much". Should be fun!

Because it's Oakland, we went to a house/goat-warming party last night. Some friends bought a new house, and then bought two pygmy goats.
I can look at, hold, etc. someone else's new baby and find it adorable and yet feel NO DESIRE WHATSOEVER to have another one of my own, but those chubby little kid goats?
Luckily my daughter started asking when we could get goats, too, so I could snap to my senses and start listing all the reasons it would be a bad idea.
Reason no. 1 where we live? Tragic coyote bait.

Actually NH - there are times I wondered if I could play a paladin, but then I decided that it wasn't worth the trouble arguing with a GM on what passes for a pally code.
I know my idea of a pally code is really rather lax. You may sneak around, do not need to challenge bad guys before attacking them, but basically you need to be on the side of good.
I think the more challenging one would be to play a PC like a paladin, but is not actually a paladin.
But you do know that kids may not be the best people to play paladins due to urm their chaotic nature?

As someone that's been on a farm with goats, chewed up socks are the least of your worries.

Yeah it really depends on what the DM expects of a paladin.
The DM demands strict adherence to LG, the RAW code, as well as his/her own particular take on what that code implies? Get ready for arguments, fallen paladins, and hurt feelings all around.
The DM treats paladins as holy warriors of any and every god, with the same code as the cleric? That'll be some smooth sailing. :)

I would count wood as vegetable matter for DnD purposes. Might not be what they intended, but I don't want to sit through another wood argument. It's enough to make you want to take a plank to someone.
