You should PbP with me! I'd find you a spot. It's fun

True, but sometimes I can't help wonder why some people just feel the need to ruin these messageboards with their trolling crap.
I mean, I know some do it because they're idiotic young punks who think they're smarter and cooler than anyone else, when really they're just little shitheads hiding behind a keyboard.
Others, well, they just seem to be a%%$!+!s. And not the cool kind, like me.

People say I'm no good, and crazy as a loon
'Cause I get stoned in the mornin', I get drunk in the afternoon
Kinda like my old blue tick hound, I like to lay around in the shade
And I ain't got no money, but I damn sure got it made
'Cause I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way I'm livin'
You just leave this long haired country boy alone
Preacher man talking on TV, puttin' down the rock and roll
Wants me to send a donation, 'cause he's worried about my soul
He said, "Jesus walked on the water.", and I know that it's true
But sometimes I think that preacher man, would like to do a little walkin' too
But I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way I'm livin'
You just leave this long haired country boy alone
A poor girl wants to marry, a rich girl wants to flirt
A rich man goes to college, a poor man goes to work
A drunkard wants another drink of wine, and a politician wants your vote
I don't want much of nothing at all, but I will take another toke
'Cause I ain't asking nobody for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way I'm livin'
You just leave this long haired country boy alone

This reminds me, however, I have to speak with my younger brother. There are several birthdays and an anniversary (mine) in close proximity to Mother's Day. Last year, we did a big, one-day celebration for all of it, complete with a crawfish boil and taking my nephew to see the second Captain America movie. We were able to pull it off by having #2 brother start the crawfish while younger brother and I took his two eldest kids (and the nephew's friends) to see the movie.
This year, however, our #2 brother is no longer living here in Houston. So we might have to rearrange events somehow. That is, IF my younger brother and his wife haven't already made other plans.

Might you be interested in being a PC in another game in the not too distant future?

I'm actually considering making another game. Maybe another Planescape one. Or maybe an AP like Skull and shackles.

Long day in a long week.

Thanks man. I just a bit depressed. I am coming to the realization that I will likely be unable to keep any of my dogs while in school. I really don't want them to all go with my wife. I'll never see them again. As you might have noticed from my FB postings I am insanely devoted to my pups. So I'm feeling rather low about this. I can hope, but I think they will also be lost to me.

It'a An Ancient Evil. Feel free to peruse.
We lost our rogue, and then our gunslinger. We still have an inquisitor, an alchemist, a cavalier, and a druid.

That is no good :( I hope you are able to figure something out with that.

I've been doing meat up in advance then parsing out into salads I eat when I get home from work. I can't eat a full plate of meat at this point, but a salad with a bit of meat, pasta, cottage cheese, and croutons is easy on the stomach, and easy to make. Keeps me primed for food. The rest of the day it's protein shakes. I can't eat lately. Stress I think.

Aberzombie's Really Grimm Fairy Tales
The Winter Princess
Once upon a time, there was a young princess who found she had been gifted with wintery powers. She considered these powers a curse and, with the help of her parents, concealed their existence from everyone, including her own younger sister.
Then, tragically, her parents died in an horrific carraige accident, leaving her to face the world alone. She tried to keep her powers hidden, but ascending to the throne made this increasingly difficult. Her young sister tried to get her to open up, to reinvigorate the bond they shared as children, but the now queen kept herself guarded.
Things finally came to a head at the coronation celebration, when the queent argued with her younger sister and accidently revealed her icy gifts.
Then came the real shock. The younger sister revealed her own, summer-based powers of heat and flame. She also revealed that she that it was she who caused their paren't accident, and that she was finally ready to make her move and seize the kingdom for herself.
The two sisters fought, unleashing the full might of their powers. Flames roared. Ice cracked. Everyone died.
The End.

How about a fighter?
Not a bad choice. Between the alchemist, druid, and inquisitor, they have decent spellcasting. A martial character is good, or something crafty. They are a bit lacking in skills, stealth, and street-smarts. Also remember that guns are fairly common, which may be a consideration. I'll PM you tonight.
