A bad day gaming is still better than a good day fishing.

The game I walked from the table for was a pretty horrible day and wreck my whole night, and caused my friend to giv eup PFS to avoid jerks like that at the table.

A bad day at one table has had me leave a CON and quit going to other conventions for 3 months. It caused me to stop gaming for weeks - and depressed me for days.

Where as a good day fishing gets me something for lunch/dinner.

The phrase "Life is to short for bad gaming..." means don't waste time on a bad game. There are only so many scenarios/mods/APs - everyone you spend at the table with jerks is one less you can spend with the rest of us!

I used to say "If it's not fun, don't do it..."

Means pretty much the same thing.

Seems like mine. Describing the many things I would rather be doing, than be anywhere near a table where even the slightest mention of Kender occurs.

Best described as messy German fetish suicide, involving bit of glass, and things usually stuck to toilet paper. That's the most "appropriate" way I can conceive of describing it.

Forgive my rant.

As a german I am curious? Although you could mean something that made Ramstein write a song called "Mein Fleisch", my flesh in english.

Moving on!

You know you're in trouble when you get to the table and realize that you're 20 minutes late because you decided to check out the Paizo forums during the last few minutes of your work shift.

And with that, I'd best take my leave. ;)

Happy Gaming!

Entire party: "You do HAVE some bard abilities, right?"

We never did find out what he was actually capable of doing.

My paladin was suboptimal for several levels. And she's still not as "optomized" as a high strength, low int and wisdom brainless but pretty jockett.

However, I have more fun playing her than I would the brainless jockett.

For a 1 level dip that could be quite a bargain. All the knowledge skills as class skills, go diviner, always act in the surprise round, and load up on true strikes (which you can cast in full plate thanks to its lack of a somatic component)

You're going to a fancy party and realize the group consists of:

A drunken gunslinger who got kicked out of the last fancy even he went to for throwing up on the mother of the bride.

An elderly and incontinent Druid who's animal companion is basically a service animal.

A dhamphir with a charisma of 9.

An aasimar cleric of Groetus, who wears sackcloth and constantly carries a sign which reads "THE END IS NEAR"

A Witch who is so socially awkward, she has her dragon familiar talk for her.

We eventually got through the mission by putting a diaper on the Druid, "suggesting" to the gunslinger that he not drink, having the dhamphir wear a mask, leaving the aasimar outside, and then telling the dragon what we wanted to say and having it talk for us.

And no matter what fancy training you got when you play a Dwarf and asked what class you are "DWARF" is always the answer.


...you overslept and arrive last to the event, meaning everyone else has already formed parties, leaving you with the players that no one wanted at your table. All of them.

And the GM is so tired that she can barely work her fingers well enough to pick up dice.
