I am one of the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything.


Off-Topic Discussions


I can't remember the last time I posted anything outside of Community. Sure, I've had my projects in the past, but I never finished any of them. I don't work on them anymore. I don't even game offline. All I do that's remotely Pathfinder related is post weird stuff here after I've gotten a couple drinks in me, or ask for advice on non-Pathfinder related stuff. Is anyone else in this boat? I've the urge to start up a whole crew of lazy scallywags.


It doesn't seem so long ago that you were writing in your thread about your thoughts on D20 Modern and Pathfinder.

But yeah, I was once in the same boat. Back in 2009, I got hooked on posting on these boards. I had things I really wanted to say about RPGs, and this community was a great place to read and write about them. Then I felt the pressure to get Paizo products, to support the company that provided this wonderful website, so I bought a lot of Golarion and PFRPG books. I was spending money on Paizo stuff like I had never spent on any one company's products before.

Then in 2010, I found out that I was going to lose my job. I had to quit gaming for various reasons, and I decided that I'd better find a cheaper hobby. I went back to playing the piano, and starting getting into Chess. But I was still kind of hooked on these messageboards. It was still a fun place to hang out. I still occasionally posted in the Classical Music thread, or wrote about fantasy novels I had read.

Later in 2010, I found out that I wouldn't lose my job after all! I soon celebrated by buying some gaming supplies, which I had wanted for some time, from paizo.com. Later, I got back into PFRPG, and spent money on Paizo stuff even more heavily than before.

Recently another (less severe) financial matter came up, and I've again decided to quit my Paizo spending habit. But I still play PFRPG, and you never know when I might relapse. This website keeps me coming back.

That project has been going on in my head for three and a half years in one form or another. The problem is, instead of putting it to paper, I play video games.
