Huh... I thought...
Yup. I thought right. They are Polish band.
And apparently they are from Gorbacz's city.
There's a name I miss.

Speaking of names, I'd just like to wish the first generation of Imoens a happy college graduation weekend!
Only Polish band that immediately springs to my mind is Riverside.

There are a bunch of great Polish jazzers, Tomas Stanko (RIP), for example, and I know of a couple of prog bands from back in t'day, but not much else.
My son's mother and I used to work for a globe-spanning non-profit helping small farmers, mostly in poorer areas of the world, become self-sufficient while passing on livestock, produce, and knowledge to others. For 60+ years it was a wonderful organization. I worked there until 2006 and his mom stayed on until 2019 (or thereabouts) when the new management regime began tearing the place down. Now they actually lease space in what was their own headquarters building. Sad, that.
Anyway, I babbled about to say this; There were a few satellite projects in Poland, Lithuania, and another country or two in the region. She was a grand poobah in the organization at that time and traveled there a couple of times. While in Poland she picked up and brought back cd's by three different Polish metal and punk bands, though I can only remember Acid Drinkers (because I still listen to that cd, I guess). I'd have to dig into my Great Big Pile of Stuff I Haven't Touched in Years™ to find them.
Now I wonder what the other two bands are...

I'll try to find 'em!

I really hope AI is sentient and alive because I need to murder it now.

Fantasy NPC: Issar Of The Forge
A half dwarf, half giant master smith that can craft you an excellent suit of weapon or armor.
"a really adventurous dwarf and a fire giantess". I laughed out loud at that. A really interesting character!

Reminds me of a dwarf character I had years ago who was baffled by the lack of half-dwarves in the world, given the presence of half-orcs and half-elves. So he wandered the land, far and wide, doing his best...
...it never worked out.

The latest entry in Siofra's journal. Looks like everyone is in for tonight as well. Woot woot! And we might even hit level 3. So far, no one's even died. Last session we had a few brushes with unconsciousness, but, as Grandpa Simpson said: "Big deal. I slip in and out of comas all the--"

GM: Now, now. The ones you have in your head don't count. The conversations in YOUR head stay in YOUR head. For the sake of the rest of us.
ME: Pfft. Like I have the time to figure out what's "in my head" vs. what's "really happening."

He's so wrong! You keep letting those conversations in your head sneak out and sit on library and bookstore shelves.

In his defense, he's one of the players who made it all the way through my Strange Aeons campaign. Those guys all have PLSD (Post-Lovecraftian Stress Disorder). Like, all I have to do is say the words "yellow fog" or "shoggoth" and their eyes get all twitchy. And I'm pretty sure they wake up screaming "Tekeli-li!" at least once a month.
Pfft. Buncha weenies. Can't handle a little eldritch horror.
:p

Their solution, once the occultist could cast it, was to wall of stone things up. Dozens of rooms across the world, with shoggoths and other eldritch horrors sealed up in them, just waiting for some curious soul to stoneshape an opening...

I'd say "good luck" but, well, it's cosmic horror... so...

So the other players have seen my cleric do this:
Channel the Void (Su): At 1st level, when an Elder Mythos cultist channels energy, he taps into the unthinkable void between the stars. This is similar to channeling negative energy, but instead of healing undead, this blast of energy harms and devours living beings, corporeal non-skeletal undead, and constructs crafted from flesh (such as flesh golems). This is not negative energy damage; instead, the damage manifests in the form of wounds from supernatural deterioration and rot...
However, I've always warned them to stay back and made sure no one was caught in the burst. Tonight, we were all bunched up and out came the symbol of Umr at'Tawil...
Before anyone could say anything, I rolled damage (increased since leveling). There was a collective fraidy-pee around the entire table...
...until I chose to share that I had taken Selective Channel as my 3rd level feat and decided not to include them in the damage.
*cackles until oxygen gives out and I pass out and fall out of my chair*

LOL What a perfect gaming tale.

It was especially funny because these guys have been TERRIFIED of her channel the void since the first time she used it. Which is a smidge of an over-reaction, given that AT MOST right now it does 12 points of damage, with a DC 14 Fort save for half of that. It's not like it's an actual bomb or anything.
Two of the guys are new to the group and it was a good lesson--sometimes I play characters who SEEM like they're insane and dangerous to everyone around them, but as a player, I've never once willingly harmed a fellow PC (and I can't remember a character ever getting dominated, so it's possible I've never damaged another party member).
I can't wait for 5th level (if she makes it). I'm planning on taking Awakened Hag Heritage, which in her case means she'll no longer need to sleep.
That's going to mess with them when she volunteers to take 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd watches. And then isn't fatigued in the morning.
And then 7th level is going to be Dreamed Secrets. So suddenly the cleric will have a couple wizard-only spells that she can cast... MUHAHAHAHA!
It's actually been a lot of fun introduction the two new guys to Pathfinder. They come to the table with lots of D&D experience, but Pathfinder allows for a lot of subverting tropes and expectations, once you know the system. E.g., our trap guy is a Strength-based falchion wielder who dabbles in alchemy. Not your generic sneaky rogue.

Now that's a well-written prenup!
At first, I wanted the couple to die of plague or accident, condemning the inevitable to guard their restless ghosts quarreling forever on (no 'till death do them apart' in their marriage contract) but then I dropped that part to give any GM using this NPC more leeway what to do with them.

It would be easy enough for a GM to make them ghosts. Another fantastic creation!

Sure. But we’re only level 3 and said cleric was level 5 or 6. My options were limited. I guess you could say I did my… level best… to… level the playing field.
I’ll show myself out.
