That sound fun. Is he GMing?Yep. We're stranded on an abandoned pirate isle, getting beat by skeletons and traps.
I take it you guys are starting Serpent Skull as well. Our party lay out is a hoot.
I have no idea. I just showed up. :)
LOL!
uh, Hi.

We are coming to the end of Curse of the Crimson throne... there have been periods where I got tired of the game - not the story.We are in the Final stretch and I am looking forward to killing the big bad evil person and every member of a prominent Korvosan family.
Mothman is running our next AP, very much looking forward to that.
Things I learned from playing an AP:
Set aside 2 years.
Do not let me inject a full module as a side quest when the GM wants a break. Play it as a seperate module with different characters. It dilutes the story and confuses people.
Do have breaks at the end of each book - one or two sessions wih pregens (stops people from getting too invested in the new shiny) for a different setting/system or play a board game.
If the GM cant make it have a one off or a boardgame ready.
That side trek was awesome. Plus we ended up with a Deus Ex Machina machine to play with (until we broke it).
A new campaign will be fun, but I’m unsure if we should do Kingmaker. As awesome as it is, it will take easily 1.5 to 2 times as long to finish as CotCT.
Grimm is such a cool show.
Yes, it is. And I am currently working hard to finish my homework so I can watch this week's episode. I don't think I'd get to watch tv at all if it weren't for the DVR. :)
And yes, this week's episode was cool....I have got to use that hall of doors somewhere. It was so creepy. I love it when watching tv gives me dungeon design ideas. :)
And got the kidlet signed up for chess club. It meets Wednesdays after school, so perfectly solves the daycare dilemma. And he's super excited about it since it's his first ever extracurricular activity.
Now I'm just hoping that he can go to school tomorrow. poor kid has a molar coming in and the toothache was bothering him a lot today. If he's that cranky tomorrow they'd just send him right back home anyways.
F!~~ING SNOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

It is a kickass show. I do get a lot of ideas for it, but primarily for Changeling: The Lost, a game which I don't think I'll ever really get a chance to play.
Also, Lynora since you're up, I did a bit more research into the stranger aspects of dyscalculia and my horrid spatial perception and apparent lack of dance skills are other signs I may indeed be dyscalculaic. I remember being a very klutzy kid due to my poor spatial perception. At my grandmother's house I half spilled half dropped my milk three days in a row because I constantly misjudged the distance between the glass, my hand and the table. Martial arts later on in life helped a lot, especially because I got into a style that was direction heavy and encouraged me to remember the world around me in a sense of 8 directions. I'm glad I didn't get into more linear point-based fighting systems because I kept thinking my arms and legs were too short due to spacial perception issues. Katas and forms were too much like dancing, but I did enjoy tai chi like movements without a problem because, perhaps paradoxically, they seemed less like dancing to me, possibly because I could move as slow as I wanted.
Go Giants!
Was there ever any doubt?
Me getting this new job would still be the best thing that could happen to us. Otherwise, it's going to take some creative strategies to back out of our lease and get into somewhere more affordable. Will this be the week?
I'm pulling/praying for you, CH!
Maybe they had kids, and did not supervise them well?Doubtful--they're student apartments, basically glorified single-serving off-campus dorms.
It sounds to me like the prior tenant was really.....chaotic neutral.... (which IS chaotic stupid actually, dumf+&&s,.....) and had a beef with the owner and did some wanky stuff.

You know, I never knew that that was associated with dyscalculia. I've always had issues with spatial perception. I can visualize things better than most people, but I can't truly put myself into the picture. I have to close my eyes in order to play catch because my brain knows where to go before I get all confused by what I see. I took dance for many years, but yeah, I always had trouble with getting the steps right. Except ballet was easier because the movements are slower. And I also enjoy tai chi and yoga, although I find it difficult to get into the right position. I just got an excerise program for the kinect that is really helping with that since it can tell me when I'm doing it right.
Anyways. I always thought my extreme klutziness was just due to menniers. Odd to think that whatever makes it difficult for my brain to process numbers could also be the culprit.

That's also me. I've never been able to put into words before, but yeah..I can see things in my head(this game of ours IS a mental one), and I can rotate items in three dimensional space mentally quite well(although I discovered yesterday my brother in law is better at it- trunk tetris FTW!!!!), but very rarely myself in relationship TO them. It could be why I'm always late places- I really have no sense of how long it will take me to get there because I don't really process myself GETTING there, although I've gotten better at picking a time to leave. My wife has gotten used to having to correct my judgement of space/time/distance and I often look to her to determine whether or not I really can just walk or ride my bike someplace. And you just made me feel a whole lot better about not making little league- I felt almost as if I had to close my eyes or somehow shut out visual distractions to hit(or more often, catch) a ball.

10 Of The Strangest Unclaimed Airline Baggage Items Ever Found
1. Hoggle from the movie "Labyrinth." Yes. Someone checked the orignal puppet.
2. A Gucci suitcase filled with ancient Egyptian artifacts.
3. A rattlesnake. Yes. A snake on a plane.
4. A $250,000 guidance system belonging to the U.S. Navy.
5. A Barbie doll stuffed with $500 in cash. Best. Birthday. Ever.
6. A suit of armor. Stupid TSA probably wouldn't let the owner wear it in the cabin during the flight, as planned.
7. A 300-year-old violin. Has Dave Carroll taught us nothing? Don't check your valuable musical instruments!
8. An ordinary-looking sock, which contained a 5.8-carat diamond set in a platinum ring.
9. A camera designed for the Space Shuttle. NASA flies commercial?
10. A 40.95-carat natural emerald.

What's that Joss and Alton? You want to know where Freehold DM lives so you can go to his house, tie him to a chair, and make him watch all your shows over and over until his eyeballs bleed?
Sure thing. I've got you covered. I'll send you the info via Facebook.
Thanks AZ! I've been trying to get them to come over to my house for the longest. Here's hoping the rube goldberg esque deathtraps I set up work!

How do you go about getting that unclaimed luggage? Do you buy it from the airline or something?

morning.
coffee not working yet....need more caffeine....dreamed math last night and kept waking up to write down the solution. last time I do trig right before bed....
Mmm, nothing like a cup of tea to start the morning.
currently drinking what my people refer to as fever grass tea, and most Americans call lemongrass. Mild and soothing, but not nearly as as strong as I would like.

that sounds like less a dream and more of a nightmare.

That sounds delicious. Might even be better than my much loved chocolate rooibus tea that I buy from a little shop here in town. Though jasmine green tea is still my favorite favorite. :)
Having an English caramel flavor today, with honey and cream. It's lovely.
...and this sounds like coffee. :)
But I'm biased. I usually drink tea plain. I might put honey in if I'm sick and using it as cough medicine, but otherwise no cream or sugar in tea for me.

Rant time.
I am sick of being patronized by people who refer to my illustration / fine art work as "decorative art" just because it doesn't have any sort of political or social commentary worked into it. I mean, seriously, it's a painting of a f!*!ing dragon. Do you want me to put Newt Gingrich's face on it? No f%*+ing way. The reason I won't put Newt Gingrich's face on my dragon isn't that I'm a Republican, it's because then the painting would SUCK. And the fact that you're calling the existing artwork "decorative" cheapens the amount of work I've put into it. This is not something I enjoy doing, and it's certainly not something I'm good at, so you'd better at least view it for what it is (a mediocre painting of a f@%!ing dragon) and not for what it "should be" in your eyes.
For those of you who are curious, no, there is no painting of a dragon, though there may be in the future. This was more of a hypothetical scenario closely based on a conversation I had this morning.
Hi everyone
Having an English caramel flavor today, with honey and cream. It's lovely.
Diane seems to associate your avatars with ham now. :)
When You come up in conversation you are now the guy who came by and had ham. It's funny how people remember things.
Hi everyone
Howdy!
Morning, all. What did I miss?
Ham?
Now I'm hungry.
EDIT: Naked ham? It could be worse.
