I felt a disturbance in the Force... like a million players of witches screaming at the loss of their class abilities and then... silence.
Not gonna lie, it made me laugh.

This makes me wish my players would choose to play classes with familiars more.

John Reyst over at d20pfsrd.com posted an update on the Fans of d20pfsrd.com Facebook page a little while ago. The January 2021 listings show that Pathfinder 1e is far from dead. He didn't post the numbers for PF2e but he said "2e is literally a drop in the bucket compared to 1e. I've about given up dedicating *any* effort to working on the 2e SRD."
Dang.

*looks at how long P1 has been around and all the 3PP content that was/is being made for it that d20pfsrd also sells*
Umm yeah, but then I stopped using d20 a long time ago except solely to look at 3pp stuff, for P1 and especially with P2 everyone goes to Archives of Nethys, which is not only official but with P2 has art for all the monsters. So little to no reason to use d20 until more 3pp stuff gets made for it.

My group, for the most part, and me included, decided when PF1e became our game of choice that it would be the iteration that we someday "retire from gaming" with. After decades of gaming and amassing huge collections of books for different editions we decided to just stay with something we enjoy and not worry about updating everything AGAIN. As the GM, I sometimes use Archives of Nethys for the deities, but nothing else. There is one player in my group who plays PF2e but that's with another group in his hometown. I use the d20 site much, much more and am more comfortable with navigating around in it and I enjoy the 3pp material a lot.

Yeah, being submerged in frying oil by a Scottish chip shop does seem preferable.

How’s everybody this Friday?
More cold rain here. So much rain.
I did have kind of a weird thought about rain tho. As far as we know, this is the only place for trillions upon trillions of miles where it rains water. So there’s that I guess. Squish squish.

If it rains here, my driveway is gonna freeze solid. :-)

Oh yeah, we get that from time to time. The out-spout for our basement pump feeds right onto the concrete. So if we're on that freezing edge, it's a nice slick surface. And it's a steep rise. I went down once and realized physics was going to have its way with me until I cruised all the way into the street. Fortunately, no one was driving by.
Stupid physics. :)

Doing (mostly) OK. A repeat of last weekend's upset stomach shenanigans keeps trying to make itself known. I don't know what's up with that at all. The weather here in the 50s during the day and low 30s/upper 20s at night (I wish we still had real winters here).
Physics and I have never been friends.

Of all the many odd competitions in this world, surely the World Helsinki Citizen Impersonator ranks among the strangest.
Every year, people from over 150 nations enter. Each contestant must pretend to be a native-born resident of Helsinki, before a panel of actual native judges. Every year, regardless of the winning outcome, the Norwegian contestant invariably performs the worst, failing within seconds to fool the astute evaluators.
I guess it's really true: Norse guys Finnish last.

Fantasy Monster: Birdflower
There were pics of this flower going around on Twitter the last couple days or so. Is that what you were inspired by?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I saw that picture on Scott Gladstain's facebook feed today (together with a few other photos of Yulan magnolia bird-like blossom). I already planned to make a familiar-suitable CR 2 plant today, but that soldified the pick and contributed to the shape.
I had to say goodbye to my Rosie Girl tonight. She ruptured a disk and lost all mobility and sensation in her hind legs and there really weren't any truly viable options for her. Her mobility had begun to dramatically go downhill starting about three months ago and today...well, today. Next Sunday would've been her twelfth birthday. If you have pets, give them an extra treat or two tonight.

Awww, I'm so sorry. You filled her life with love, and I'm sure she carried that with her into the beyond.

I miss her so much. One of the weirdest things I'm having to adjust to is walking just one dog now. Rosie ALWAYS walked on my right side in the lead and Buster ALWAYS on the left and behind me. It's something they decided on their own and never, ever varied from it. So now when I'm walking Buster I don't know what to do with my right hand. I guess I can start throwing rocks at passing cars with it, I dunno.

Heartbreaking how absence can be as real as presence--and so much more painful.

I'm managing, with the occasional micro-breakdown every day or so. I got her ashes back yesterday and today is the day we'd chosen as her birthday because we didn't know her exact age when we rescued her. She'd have been twelve today.
So, some of you might have heard that across the southern midwest (Arkansas, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and so on) is in the grip of record breaking cold and snowfall amounts. Right now the temperature is 7 degrees F, with a possible low overnight of -1. Wind chills can drop as low as -20 degrees. I remember very cold winters as a kid, but none this cold. I'm a winter person and quite frankly I'm enjoying it. What I didn't take into account is that I weigh much, MUCH more than I ever have, so that, bad knees, chronic back pain, and so forth walking in snow will likely kill me, so I've stopped. Right now there are 10 inches of snow in my yard and up and down my street and I tried walking Buster twice today and only made it about 25 yards each time before my heart and respiration rates began to go into a sort of warp core breach and we had to turn around. And there are as much as 10 more inches forecast for Wednesday.
When my dad was young Arkansas regularly had really hard winters, but over the years climate change has caused most winters here to be pretty mild. This is the first snowfall we've had in 1,124 days! People here aren't used to this and are really either struggling or thinking "Pshaw! It's nothing!" and ending up in ditches or worse. So it's been an interesting couple of days. I know that years of easy temperatures during the winter have lured me into complacency and I wasn't prepared in many ways for it, but I'm adapting fairly well now that I've realized that extended walks for me and Buster are out of the question for a few days. But I've got plenty of groceries to last until temperatures begin to rise on Thursday and Friday, though I'll run out of Mountain Dew tomorrow which is better for me healthwise I'll start imagining things like bottles of coffee creamer might magically appear to be 2 liters of neon yellow goodness. I guess it's time to break out the Ovaltine.
Stay warm, everyone!

Gah!
That's crazy.
It's like Tommy Westphall is shaking the damn snowglobe as hard as he possibly can.
Here in North Carolina, we're seeing the sun for the first time in eight days. At this point I'm 85% Morlock and 15% vacuous sparkly vampire. Not sure which part I hate more...

I was worried I wasn't going to make my appointment with my podiatrist this afternoon because up until I went to bed last night it was supposed to start snowing shortly after that and continue until tonight sometime, dropping at least a foot of snow on us. When I got up this morning I found about four inches on my driveway, which is now fairly well cleared, it's not snowing now, and not expected to do so again until Thursday. So I guess I'll make the appointment after all. Freakin' weather guessers. Do they ever get it right? :-)
It is cold though. You can tell because water is falling from the roof of my building and forming ice right in front of my garage door. Stupid landlord's stupid "repairs" to the gutters ain't working. :-(
Winter of '70 or '71, I leave Ithaca the day before Thanksgiving about noon, figuring about five hours or so to Pittsburgh to drop off my roommates and then on to my grandmother's house in West Virginia. Soon as we hit the Pennsylvania line, it started to snow. Long story short, we finally made it to Pittsburgh about 4 AM. Now *that* was a snowstorm! :-)

It's all about perspective. It's 15 degrees Fahrenheit where I live. That's 263 degrees Kelvin. I think that's pretty cool.

Even when it rains for days and days, above the clouds the sky is blue. And then it's real cold. Higher still and everything goes black and you suffocate and drift lifeless forever through the void...
