What kind of a heart attack would you like to eat?
First?
;PI do like my wife's (aka grandma's recipes) cooking. Sadly, she doesn't cook often.
Not because she can't or won't or doesn't want too, she is just too,... dang,.... slow,... :)She simply cannot multi task. If she is cooking a special dinner, for my birthday say, and she wants it ready for 6pm, she has to start at 1pm. 2 at the latest. :)
But I will admit, while patience is not my particular virtue, it has always been worth waiting for. ;)
My mother was a bad cook, sadly. Late in life I have discovered I have a flair for it. A week from Wednesday I will be serving up a homemade Chinese buffet. My rough draft menu is Hot and sour soup (I've made this before-really good), beef and broccoli, chicken fingers, beef lo Mein, and some sort of fried rice.
I'm a little leery of the chicken fingers as I haven't done the tempura batter myself before, but nothing ventured-nothing gained.
Do you have a recipe for the hot and sour soup? Always a favorite of mine.

Heh. Thanks. Not sure that I'll be able to post much here. I feel easily overwhelmed by having to keep up with too many web pages/groups. But I did want to stop by and say hello to everyone.

It's cool. It's casual. Glad you stopped by though.

i had a strange dream where a group of people were in a haunted house and three women became possessed by the spirits within. They transmogrified into three-eyed, purple-skinned medusas. I'm thinking I might have had an influence from a web animation I saw right before bed called 'Cthupid' . It was quite vivid, and the triocular look was quite creepy.

So, I'm trying to keep up with my commitments vis-a-vis my PbPs. I think one of my problems is starting up the NPCs for them to fight. I know Paizo has the NPC and Monster Codexes out. Are there any other resources one would recommend for plug-and-play antagonists?
The NPC and monster codexes are amazing. I can't describe how awesome they are. Every now and again Paizo puts out something that changes how I play my game, and those two books are my right and left hands when it comes to running a game when the PCs do something incredibly stupid/smart/unforeseen. I would go as far as to say I want to see sequels to those books, and anyone who knows me knows I NEVER want to see book sequels in tabletop gaming.

on sick leave myself,
I have a coughthat will not go away, with my wife it went so far that it became pneumonia (but not a heavy one)
Please heal. I need you to visit NYC again so we can all chase the green fairy. Get the little dwarf in on it, he'll probably have peach fuzz by the next time you visit. It'll be fun!

d20pfsrd has several NPCs pulled from some of the APs or just put together by the site's users. I don't think they have the full contents of the codexes, but they have a lot of things that are good in addition, like monsters with class levels should you need them.

I'm right there with you. I'd venture to say I'd buy an entire series of them, especially if they specialized each one to a class (or monster category)

3PPs often put out NPC books, too. For example, here's a Paizo store search for NPC books published by Legendary Games.

that they don't have monster codex entries is a true loss. Maybe I should put them in?

They might just not have gotten around to adding them. If you were to volunteer to do so I would presume they'd be cool with it, provided there's no legal reasons they can't. I'm not up to date on what's open for them to use completely and what's more limited.

*yawn*
Today is the day for getting my games set. I am up early, I need to hit the gym early, torture myself on the elliptical machine, take my dogs for an extended ramble, ruff draft my complaint for Litigation class, meet a friend in Orleans for Chinese food and dandle my honorary niece on my knee...
Then sit down and adjutate a wereshark brawl, a bandit blitz, and goose my plane-hopping party along the storyline to their doom triumph!
