Morning, all. What did I miss?
Let's see... Freehold has mysteriously disappeared again, completely missing the spectacle of a giant silver and ebony robotman stopping a kaiju from stomping on BonChon headquarters; Dr. FrankenBadger has sent more final drafts in to delighted 3PP publishers, who remain completely unaware of his hidden passages from the Turnipnomicon; city planners have finally mapped all the permutations of Orthos' routes to work and, starting tomorrow, begin road construction projects on all of them; a certain Paizonian Sales Imp is considering taking up a new career as a pied tromboneer of cows... oh wait, that's Oprah's soap opera!
Edit: Nekkid soap opera?!

Orthos, you stop having birthdays at 29 and just celebrate the anniversary instead. That way you never get older.Oh I understand the excuse of it. I just never thought it necessary =) I'll be hitting 30 next June.
Ebon and I had a friend who did that a lot when we were both living in Phoenix, it was always a little silly we thought.
Yeah, I agree with you on this, Orthos. I'm 37 and I have never in my life seen any reason to be ashamed of my age. I mean, geez, it's not like there's something wrong with getting older. I think of it more as an achievement. Hey, look, I made it another year without dying. Woo! ;P

My mom used to say she was 39 and holding. When I was very little I tried to do the math to see how long it would take to pass her because I took her literally.
I'm watching a movie starring Sean William Scott ...and not only is it not bad, it's actually good. And not in a silly way. Just good. Wonders never cease, I guess.
Also, Allison Pill is kinda cute, and Eugene Levy is always good.

Indeed.

Goon. It's kinda like Youngblood meets Slapshot.
And you know your apartment is too warm when you get swesty by sitting around doing nothing.
Orthos, what level is your FFV party? I found some strange news while looking at a walkthrough.
** spoiler omitted **
I think I was somewhere in the high 20s/low 30s. I did quite a bit of level grinding because I'm a sucker for Blue Magic.

I will be starting Mummy's Mask tonight for PFS, nothing like that new AP feeling.
I'm hoping to DM that AP in the future. We have a TON of campaigns planned out for our group already though, so who knows when it will be.

For me, it's silly for multiple reasons (mainly that nobody ever believes I'm over 30). I'm 33 and quite happy. =)
Count me in the group who didn't stop counting at 29.
35 and counting (and despite a proper beard I got carded last month...)
That forest fire I mentioned on Sunday - still going. "Only" one death so far, thankfully, but it's a pretty good sign of seriousness when the person being interviewed on the morning nrws isn't the local fire captain but the minister of defence.
Damn, I've only written a bit over 800 words on my main story in the span of seven months.
I really need to up my game if I want anything worth publishing done within the next decade...
The problem is that I try to revise as I go instead of actually doing the first draft and then going back to edit it.
Tuesday?? Fortunately it's wednesday here, so only today before I'm off to a music festival!

Err... right. Wednesday. Yes.
There was a bank holiday this past Monday, so this is my second day of work this week. As usual, that throws my time-sense something awful. So, yes, very much Wednesday. And happy Wednesday. :)
Hope you enjoy the festival. :) And particular bands playing you're looking forward to?

I did have my first heart attack moment this weekend though. Sunday night, the little dude was jaded and I was getting ready to put him down for the night, when he lost his balance and fell on his face. Not an uncommon occurrence, with his insistence on running everywhere, but this particular time he cut the inside of his lip when he fell. I've never heard him wail like he did then, and the sight of blood sent me into a complete panic. In 5 minutes, and a change of bloody jammies, he was like it had never happened, and went to bed no problem. Bless his heart, I was still a bundle of nerves.
Left him back with his mum on Monday. He may be moving in with me for a few months soon. That'll be big. We'll see if it actually happens though.

Well Emperor are playing, if they weren't then I might not have gone. But there's Primordial (from Ireland), who last time they performed there the singer lost his voice during the first song. Saxon, Wynterfelleth, Amon Amarth, Old Corpse Road, Lacuna Coil, Megadeth are also performing.
Yeah, with Arabian Nights you really have to play it for fun - not too win. Although getting the disadvantage that doubles your Story (?) points is great strategy.
Do you have a caller/reader or pass it around (the person on the left of the active player)?

Good morning FaWtL folk. :) Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone is happy and healthy, and has a good day ahead. Weather is pulling a total Jekyll and Hyde here at the moment, wearing a pair of shades while carrying around an umbrella feels weird some times. :P
Or like you're living near to the North Sea, at least. ;)
And gah. Twenty hours since I woke up. Time for a pizza, followed by the Irish whisky my parents brought back from Scotland (a Kilbeggan), and then bed. Play nice FAWTLs.
Arrgggg! Just did n f5 on myself!

That's thankfully easy to do, because it's so funny. Crippled, yeah, very handy "disadvantage". Story seems like it should be easier to increase than Destiny, but it's still really common that you wind up with massive Destiny and no Story. It's lucky it's so fun. :P
We do it by the book (Book of Tales to the left, Reaction Matrix to the right), mostly 'cause I never thought of doing it any other way. It might actually run smoother with just one person dedicated to the job. It does reduce the amount of time people end up on their phones though. :P
True, we had a 5 player game & 1 'caller' - that did end up with some boredom, especially since only 1 or 2 people could win. Although I do find that playing the game is more enjoyable than victory.

Well if you enjoy that egyptian tomb crawl feel(Which I totally do) I recommend it. Granted this is based on 1 session but We have a good DM and the players are good.

I've not worked on my campaign setting in a while...Less than 50 words in the same timeframe, I'd say.
800 words in 7 months. Who do you think you are, George RR Martin?Damn, I've only written a bit over 800 words on my main story in the span of seven months.

I appreciate it man. :) I hope so too. Big changes are in the wind. With a bit of luck, things will be better going forward.

A few weeks ago one of coworkers asked me how old I am and couldn't believe when I told him. He thought I am in early 20ties...

People usually peg me for mid-20s. It's flattering, but also frustrating professionally because people assume I lack experience.

You look young on photos.
CH has indeed drank from the fountain of youth.
Me? Black don't crack, baby. It's fascinating that I look in my 30's now, to me. But at the same time I've been growing out my facial hair to pull off my Dutch cosplay this weekend...
I look furry and raggedy.
Did I not mention that Otakon is in 48 hours?
Because it is.
Last Otakon in Baltimore, to my knowledge...
