You should get checked for asthma. Some people wheeze, but some like me get this horrible dry cough during an asthma attack. Just as hard to breathe, but much louder/more annoying to others.

That... is not something I had considered, or was even aware of.
I'm probably due for a checkup/physical anyway.

And now back to homework. I have lots, especially since I don't want to leave much to do over the weekend since my birthday is on Saturday and I'm planning to do fun stuff on my birthday instead. :)

A lot of people don't know that asthma can present in more than just the one way. And cold is a common trigger for asthma.
Always best to get things checked out with respiratory issues.

I'm planning to get all dolled up and going to dinner somewhere fancy. There are just too few excuses in life to get all dressed up. At least for grown-ups. But it's not like it got less fun! :)
I'll try to remember to post pics after. The last pics I put up here I was about twenty pounds heavier and had significantly darker hair than now.
And now I'm really going to go do homework...or procrastinate a bit by updating my PBP....but I AM going to actually do homework tonight.

My doctors think I probably have mild asthma, but they find it impossible to guage.
Imagine someone who is physically strong going to one of those carnival games where they test their strength with the giant mallet and they hit it hard enough so that the marker goes all the way up to the top. Then they expose that person to something that should make them weaker, but they're still strong enough to make the marker go all the way to the top, so it is impossible to say how much weaker it made them.
That is what my opera-lungs do to their asthma tests. They just gave up.

Asthma is ridiculously common (relatively speaking) among the world elite in cross country skiing, with the added wrinkle that several asthma medicines are on WADA's list of banned substances (in this case it's possible to get a license to use them).
And speaking of cold, with less than three hours left before work the temperature here is just above 0, it's pissing down rain, and judging by the sound there's a fairly strong wind going.
I can't wait to get out there!

My woodwind lungs do the same thing. So they gave me a sample inhaler for the cough. It worked! Therefore, asthma! Diagnosis by medication.
Yeah, peak flow meters are kind of a joke when you can peg them and still feel like you can't breathe. ;)

Remember! Monster as BBEG is better than NPC! NPC will probably have some fancy stuff tailored to his role that party will loot and use against you in the future games!
PCs are your natural enemies! They'll spoil any plot you'll write!
Hey, I can give a monster class levels.
Why does a catfolk blackguard or antipaladin just seem so obvious?
Too obvious to use, but still.

On a brighter note, 1.5 hours before the axe fell, my wife booked our hotel for Gen Con. It's the same as Justin Franklin. Courtyard by Marriott, the official hotel for FaWtL GENCON.
If I don't have a job by then, I'll GM for a room and a ticket.
Will GM for food! (and beer!)

Oh, I do. I'm just having a hard time making the AP open to all of that when it's very clearly written in a "Go A then B then C" style.Yeah, that can be frustrating. My personal bailiwick are aps that really show that different writers have different priorities in adventures - some encourage exploration and slaughter, othersmoving ffrom point a to b as shown above and the careful application of violence with a plethora of conversation.
As a player I can live with some rail roading to move the plot forward in an AP, but I have to say that I truly enjoyed the freedom and lack of time pressure in King Maker. We only got to the second book IIRC, but the freedom to take a year off and craft items and kingdom build was very liberating. I also really enjoy wilderness adventures.
I'm enjoying the same DM running Serpent Skull, but I would truly love to finish or replay King Maker some day.
I hope I'm running RotRL well, but it has a fairly linear feel to me.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Kingmaker has the benefit of every playthrough being potentially different just by how you deal with certain NPCs (Kill Em All, Befriend Everybody, etc.), how you build your kingdom in different ways, and which sidequests you pursue in what order.
It's the only AP I've ever seen that I would say has true replay value, though you might have to drop/ignore the main plot.

Bummer.
I moved heavy object for seven hours today to help a friend.
I feel like two miles of bad road even after a hot shower and six beers.
If I had know I would live this long I might have taken better care of myself.
I have got to get back into the gym.
It's not the years; it's the miles. ;)

I'm waiting for the weather to get back to warm and not-rainy, and to stop getting off work well after dark, so I can get back to going on walks in the evenings.

love kingmaker, but it requires quite a bit of work as there are a few books that drag. The expanded eventsrtable in the kingmaker heading helps, but kingdom building is easy to break. That said, it could be my approach to kingdom building that is losing the players, but it's not that hard to abuse. I think it may be time to make the heads that wear the crown heavy...
Don't mean to jar people, but I think it's time for a new pair of glasses. I changed my avatar today.
Akkk...
I'm not a huge fan of change, but at least you're still flying the Dwarven colors! ;)

The RAW kingdom building rules failed our group entirely due to a combination of lack or any kind of realism, our refusal to min max them, and a series of epically bad rolls that actually collapsed the kingdom. The DM put together some house rules that solved all of the problems except the rolls, and things were tough but fine.
Most of the encounters were very well balanced. We got close to two TPKs, but they were due to a) a party build quirk and b) 5 or 6 natural 1's for us in one fight. O_o
For the holiday sale thing Paizo always does, I went ahead and ordered PDFs of some stuff I didn't have. One thing I got was the module The Godsmouth Heresy. Very interesting delve into the Godsmouth Ossuary beneath Kaer Maga. The level you explore has links to deeper locations - some of which are discussed in the Kaer Maga sourcebook, but at least one of which is left completely up to players to flesh out.
I found it....inspiring. Mayhap some mapping is in my immediate future.
Going back to this....

I enjoyed your adventure at Paizocon!
Yes - fortunately, the Houston job market is quite active. My first desire is to stay here. However, I'll relocate if I must. Can't be as choosy in my current situation. After all, I have a subscription needs that must be met.Alas, I have lost my cool subscriber tags...

I'm sorry to hear that, Tordek! Hopefully you'll find something awesome really soon. There's no place where it's awesome to be let go, but Houston's one of the less horrible ones.
Hang in there!
Don't you already live in Texas?
(I might just be confused by the beer and pain.)

So, I was looking forward to a big refund...I claimed no exemptions at my new companies because switching jobs can do funny things to your witholding, and I had my first full year of interest payments on the house to cut down my taxable income.
Just did my taxes.
Gr.
I didn't get much, but at least I don't owe anything, I guess. My strategy worked...I just wish it had worked better!

This morning in swedish weather seems to be even more fun. As above, but more wind. Sweden is a country where it matters if it gets warmer or not. If it does, the moisture increases, which means the chill of the wind and cold get amplified. So I am hoping for cold and still. Apparently we are going to get much colder and storm beginning of february. :(
