What you did today

[PK htiw klaw eriF]

PF? Can't remember that abbreviation...

Pathfinder.

[Calax]

 At work currently. Think  I can get me a Ranger from California and dad swears he'll drive it to Iowa if I put 20% down on it.

[ManifestedISO]

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. 

 

 

 

[Gorth]

Bloody horses got it all wrong...

 

Nope, didn't win anything in the office sweepstake. Ah well, there is a Melbourne Cup next year too

[Azdeus]

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.

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]

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]

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).

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).

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.
 

[Rosbjerg]

I wanna give up, not in a depressed kinda way, just in the "ugh, adult life is waaay too much responsibility" kinda way.. and I don't even have kids, so I'm also kidding myself..

 

Oh well, back on the horse (or whatever the equivalent English idiom is).

I don't think your avatar is helping.

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?

My life the post...

 

It's getting harder to finish that last sentence however.

[Tale]

The phone is nothing but a tool of evil. Nobody understands me over it.

 

Me: "Hello, this is (my name)."

Guy on phone: "Oh hey (my boss's name), I've been to get ahold of you."

 

No. No. No.

 

Me: "Hey, we need someone to do 1 and 2 job in Reno, NV."

Guy on phone: "Yeah, we can do that."

2 days later

Guy on phone: "Whoah whoah whoah, we don't do 2. Nobody told me about 2!"

 

Me: "Hey, we need someone to do 1 and 2 job in Reno, NV."

Guy on phone: "Yeah, we can do that."

1 day later

Guy on phone: "So here I am in Las Vegas, what's going on? What do you mean Reno? I can't do Reno!"

Looks like our drunken white trash mayor is still hanging around in Toronto. What's funny is - he'll get re-elected.

Hey, he only smokes (crack) when he drinks

Malc I am following this story its amazing that he hasn't resigned. I saw him also getting very aggressive with journalists that were camped on his property.

 

Why do your Canadian politicians feel that smoking crack cocaine and getting filmed doesn't mean you should resign? You obviously don't have enough serious  social problems

'twould be impolite to resign and leave all those people hanging.

 

Had court of appeal yesterday. Full review, so everybody was heard again. Happily, they forgot to lie this time around, so it looks a bit sunnier for my client who's been in jail for almost a year now... The bad thing is that the court of appeal's in another city, one even more remote from civilization, even if a bit bigger. Had a good hotel there, but my back's killing me from the sittign and all the gear hauling I've had to do.

[melkathi]

Applied for a job that would be awesome...

Now to wait for the rejection

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.

 

Sounds like a pretty neat book to have though, we might have to get some of them. For free. Because Sweden? It's fricking pwnge.

If you can be bothered with beaurocrazy that is.

Snel hest?

 

Oh, right, and about the doctors from yesterday; They looked at my left eye and shrugged. Said that if it gets worse, use meds. If I run out of meds, call them for more.

Filling out some paperwork, was obliged to re-examine correspondence from around my mum's death.

 

Quite saddening. But I'm proud of having kept my measure, judging by the writing.

"Gear hauling"?  Scandinavian litigation is weird.

Arrogance, it has to be. People think him doing crack or being a drunk doesn't matter because hey, everyone has been drunk and no one should judge (ironically these are the same people that have orgasms over 'tough' laws on drugs or gangs). Which is depressing - large segments of my city think that their mayor hanging out with drug users, gang members or being blind drunk frequently is not a concern.

 

So he will be re-elected, people buy into this image of him being an average joe (why you want one of those as mayor, I do not know)

Heavy laptop, paperwork and overnight kit I had to haul around in a "city" with invisible cabs.

I read in the paper that it's just frustration with slick controlled politicians.

 

I have to say that I find the idea of anyone getting to 40+ or however old politicians are these days, without cutting loose once in a while betokens a sick mind.

 

I'm not endorsing crack smoking, but being wild doesn't scare me at all.
