Hurlshort Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 I had a rough dream where I was yelling at my dad and shoving him. I was still in a bit of a funk about it, so I went for a jog until I felt better. Cheaper than therapy, I guess.

Never before has your ending quip been so fitting. --- My coworker reversed into my car driver door a couple of days ago, quite an impressive feat. His reason? "I wasn't paying attention about what I was doing"... And this guy has the same job as me; Shunting... I'm not overly pleased, but atleast he said he'd pay it out of pocket. His own brand spanking new car had a crushed rear light, but since he's got plastic bumpers it wasn't to serious on mine except that he's scratched up the paintjob. Going to have it looked over this weekend. And today he showed his age when me and another guy I worked with were diggin' Part Time Lover and he stood there looking utterly confused. Goddamn is he young. :S And that is not to say I'm a methusela, the song is from the same year that I was born iirc - but damnit - you don't listen to Stevie Wonder and look confused.

Azdeus Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) I just hope the next one doesn't involve my car. Oh yeah, and I've gotten confirmation that I'm going to be bumped up to 100% (Fulltime) employment from 1'st of June until 31'st December, meaning I won't get an "overtime stop" once I'm about to get the really nice dough. Every time they order overtime I'm going to get twice(~300sek/h) the hourly wage instead of "extra time"(~150SEK/h) pay.

Gfted1 Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 TGIF! I feel like buying a bottle of whiskey and getting my drunk on, but I hate drinking alone, I just get bored and tired. And lately my drinking buddy neighbor has been all "waa I cant drink because Im taking medicine" and "waa Dr says it will mess up my liver"...suck it up and drink that shot of Petron I just poured. 1 http://www.sloganizer.net/en/image,Gfted1,black,red.png

Azdeus Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 What system are you running Azdeus? Right at this moment, we're running DnD 5e, I'm running one freeform campaign (Wich was originally played in 3.5E but all the players nagged me into switching over) with some inspiration from NWN2 and I'm reading through Princes of the Apocalypse to prepare for that later. I've got one Warhammer40K Only War campaign I'm running, and I'm writing an campaign for Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader. I've got Shadowrun on my table aswell, but my players are severely disillusioned by the system itself. I've got one campaign going for a Swedish game called Neotech(Cyberpunk) and I'm writing one for Eon(Low-Medium fantasy) from the same company. The "main" GM is running Storm Kings Thunder - wich we are currently focusing on-, Curse of Strahd and Out of the Abyss, a Vampire campaign, Dark Heresy, The written adventures for Rogue Trader and Only War. One campaign for Eon wich is on hold I think (Since his ex had one of the central roles). And he also holds the Mutant Chronicles campaigns. He also holds an On/Off Star Wars campaign. His girlfriend is prepping for the Tyranny of Dragons campaign, it's going to be her first foray into GM'ing. So... alot of systems! I've missed some probably, that's just what I can remember on the top of my head. We've got dozens of systems that we're running, my personal favourite is the old Eon/Neotech(Different settings, same system), but noone else likes them. Eon/Neotech DnD 3.5 DnD 5 Mutant Chronicles Warhammer 40k Vampire StarWars 3.5e I'm going to have to look through our bookshelf to remember the rest XD 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Azdeus Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 How are you enjoying 5? I am heavily invested in Pathfinder so likely staying for time being. On a personal note; I dislike it, but I'm particular they say. So I'm a bit biased towards old 3.5e. It's quicker and easier, the classes (Druids and clerics are still stupid powerful.) are generally speaking more fun, spells are more balanced; Cantrips scale with your level, so attack cantrips are almost always useful, you can push your spells with higher slots for more duration/damage or targets, the feats are more useful and balanced but more rare; but some are very much more useful than others, and sometimes just plain needed to play your character effectively. (Constitution saves are used instead of a skill to maintain focus on a spell, wizards, warlocks, bards, clerics and druids don't get constitution save bonuses unless you pick a feat) Skills are more boring now, you no longer allocate points, you have a proficiency bonus wich increases slightly with level, so you have to use one of the rare feats if you want to expand your portfolio. You can still use non-class skills, but you're limited to your abilityscore, so if you feel your Wiz needs some points in diplomacy you're SOL until you get a level with an Ability Score Bonus; Either raise attributes by two points or pick a feat. So your characters are more stiff. That said, you've got more options to chose skills when you create that character, just make sure you pick the right stuff. Monsters don't have any scaling mechanic anymore, so if you want a really badass orc chieftain you have to improvise. There might be more, nothing pops up right now, I'm a bit to tired from work.

Fionavar Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Thanks for sharing Azdeus - appreciate the reflection and time! I do not think I can rationalise shifting to a new system considering the size of the library Paizo does seem to be incorporating some game play shifts that echo what I understand has been implement in 5e. 1 The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161)
