I finished my initial read thru of APG. It is okay...it expands option somewhat. They continued with the things I liked about 2nd ed.... but also continued with the things I didn't like.

So, in your opinion, does it help enough to overcome the "illusion of options" problem you had with the original system?

It does in small drawn out way...It is still there but you have slightly more options.

Also for your AC, saves, save DCs, 'To hit Bonus'....

They are all going to be equal in the end no matter what options you choose....so in a odd kind of way it is liberating.

I am Doing okay. Going to track down the full time supervisor this week and remind him of what he told me several months ago and see if I can get that promotion or is he going to tell me more lies.

Is it possible to have the illusion o free will without really having free will?

Is it possible to have free will and be unable to perceive it?

Yes, people are great at self-deception. People like to think their decisions are based on free will so rationalize their decisions are based on their own feelings and not imposed on them by a outside source.


Lord Fyre wrote:

Yes again people a great at self-deception. It it fits your own narrative that you are a victim or if your decisions turn out badly people will find something to blame.


On the topic of free will, which I find interesting,

I believe we are born with free will...and we surrender it to various sources as we grow up. To society, political parties, religion, etc.

We do this to avoid responsibility for our actions, to justified our actions, and in the end it is easier.

Also these forces seek to usurp our free will as it makes us easier to control.

Personally I try to hold on to my free will as much as possible. As I feel it is the only way to live a true life.

(At least that is how I veiw things...I welcome hearing about other veiw points and beliefs)

I don't agree. Like many things in life, free will must be earned. That's why I like the Rush song that I linked.

One must choose free will. And, that is not as easy as it sounds.

For example, when you realized that your "gender assigned at birth" was incorrect, you still had to choose to become a woman.

It would have been all too easy, and yet very difficult, to keep going as you had been up to that point, as John Kretzer. I would certainly have simplified your living/work situation.


Out two PoV on free will I don't think are far apart.

Choosing to have Free will entails that you have Free will to choose.

I think our choices rather we know it or not, costs us free will...or reaffirms it.

Work Update: Good news Bad news on the promotion front. I don't have to deal with the lying guy to get it....He got transferred to a different area. The bad news when I asked the new guy in my area the response was, "I will keep you in mind when a position opens up."

Which from the 'lying guy' would probably have me giving my two weeks notice today. The problem is I don't know this guy so I have no ideal what is word is worth.

Otherwise physically I am a wreck...my knee and shoulder are killing me.
I don't know how long I can keep pushing it till something gives.

I am in a very lonely, dark, and frustrating place right now. (Not even close to suicidal...I would never. Can't let the basterds win.)

I will be okay....I don't think I know what to do with myself in being loved, light, calming place. ;)

Technically no. Otherwise, I would have found this a lot sooner.

And after your last posting about your job situation, sending you things that are funny is good.

Actually I do like Renée Zellweger, but this is one where we can easily agree to disagree.

Did you know that Catherine Zeta-Jones was offered Roxie? She instead wanted Velma Kelly, because she was in the early stage of pregnancy (Carys Zeta Douglas) at the time - this allowed all her dance numbers to be recorded ahead of time. The draping Prison Uniform could cover her baby bump when it was starting to show.

It is all right I can't explain why I dislike her...I just do.

And I didn't know that.

It is a monster of such great renown and horror a GM's mere mention of it in box text inspires such fear in the PCs that the entire party novas on it.

If only it was that weak...even Rovagug fears a Gazebo.


Golarion was just a giant gazebo to contain Rovagug?!

So... Golarion is missing in the future (Starfinder) because either it was eaten by miniature giant space termites or it burned down in some parent deities' gender reveal party for their new kid.

Hey, what would you say to the announcement of Legendary Games "forking the kernel" with Pathfinder 1.5 Corefinder? It's still really early yet, but does this sound more interesting to you than Pathfinder 2ed?

RPG Superstar 2009 Top 32

More serious question ...

Do you have any thoughts on how to include non-combat events into RPG games without boring the players?

So this is my life...

Yesterday as I was unloading a truck with unstable walls a box fell and hit my good knee....So now that hurts. It is really hard to limp when both legs are compromised.

Now this is why I get so frustrated at work. The accident was completely avoidable if the people in charge just listen to me. It was a mixed load of regular packages and irregular packages. The best and safest way to handle those trucks is to put two unloaders in them so that one can unload and the other can pick off the irregulars. And more importantly you can have one of the corners doing the slide(for the irregulars) and the other sorting the regular packages.

The only reason I got hurt is because since I was alone in this truck and I needed my sorter doing the slide I needed to stack the regulars to the sides...So when the wall collapsed I had no where to go and fell onto the regulars than the 70lb.+ Irregular landed on my knee.

Major problem is they are hiring supervisors who are ass kissers 'Yes Sir!' Types who lie and blame the employees to cover their asses...instead of people who are smart and can fix problems.

Problem is that any large corporation (including the Government) gets this way as people are put in charge who have no (or very little) experience with the work. :(
