ManifestedISO Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Been playing the "check availability twice a day" game since July with this new, unreleased figure. They only let you pre-order one at a time ... got two separate orders in the bag, shipping on 12/02. All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azdeus Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Pathfinder. Ah, not heard much about it, D&D3.5 variant or something, right? Got a scheduled appointment to the hospital to check my iritis on the right eye, wich is'nt clear yet annoyingly. And friday evening I noticed some reddening around my left eye aswell, so I'm pretty damn certain it's started there aswell. Started selfmedicating at once since the opthalmologists department was closed when I noticed it, and since it has'nt progressed like it did the first time and actually started to look better with the meds I'm going to assume that it's iritis. Oh, and after going to the hospital I'm dropping in on my friends for some Only War RPG.

Raithe Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Somewhat of a variant, but Pathfinder is done by Paizo and works a bit more smoothly then D&D3.5 did. In a lot of ways its more a decade of fan tweaks and house rules collected together from a huge chunk of the fanbase, tidied up and then run through some professionals. Had some very Escher-esh dreams. Mixture of perception and weirdness, and then dreams about dreaming, and dreaming about waking up, only to actually wake up, falling asleep, and dreaming about trying to get to sleep and realising that I already was (due to weird dream stuff), and repeat through the early hours of the morning...

Azdeus Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Ah, cool. Is it a world in itself or just a ruleset in the same vein as D&D? I've never had much contact with D&D since we've mostly been playing local games of the fantasy variety. I'm personally not a fan of systems that take actions away from the player (Such as Defence as a passive stat). We do have things like Star Wars, Wheel of Time and Midnight, but they've never been our most played games.

Raithe Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Pathfinder per se, is a rules set. Paizo ran with it when you had all the fan kick-off over Wizards creating DnD4th Ed. (Which I have to say has some pretty art, but some pretty goddamned awful mechanics). http://paizo.com/pathfinder However, Paizo have also created a Campaign Setting to go along with it. Part of what helped push it is they had the big online shop set up, and they print the books but also publish pdf versions are much reduced prices as well. They also do the "loyalty" thing that if you have an account and set up a subscription you get reduced prices. There's the "Pathfinder RPG Books" which are pretty much core mechanics and interesting variations, the "Campaign Books" which are purely setting stuff, the "Player Companion" stuff which are a mix of player options, ideas, and more fluff all wound around the Campaign setting but a lot can be used easily enough outside, and the Adventure Paths they run (which are long arc stories, publish one adventure a month, done in 6 month chunks). 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Woldan Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Today I contacted like a dozen shops for reloading equipment about the availability of a specific type of bullet. Its a great bullet, cheap, accurate, has a great crimp groove and three of my rifles love them, sadly its manufactured in Serbia and the general importer -who holds the exclusive rights to import stuff from this manufacturer- is an incompetent unreliable dimwit.They're all sold out and don't accept backorders because availability in the coming year is highly uncertain. I can't even order them from overseas because the new ITAR regulations of the US prevent me from ordering parts of ammunition. No brass, no projectiles, no primers, nothing because I could be a bloody terrorist. Further proof that monopolies and ridiculous export regulations destroy the economy / world.

Amentep Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Weird Dream - Eartha Kitt was announcing to the press that she was going to do a 90th birthday tour around the world. She didn't explain how she would do this having, sadly, passed on a few years ago, instead dodging the question. Nor was there any explanation as to why the press conference was happening in my shower as I was trying to get ready to go to work and, in fact, taking a shower. If Freud taught me anything, you're obviously repressing deep and traumatic sexual urges directed at your parents. Isn't that pretty much the response to any dream with regard to Freud? I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever move! We're not for want of fantasy RPG's up here, what with DoD (Drakar och Demoner / Dragons and Demons), Eon and others, so we never did go to that ruleset except for licenced games and just to own the books for sake of having them.
