Yeah, you need to get on that and get some games going. Give back to the community that gives you so much.

I am working on it. I need to quit a few more games though. Just ended one game recently, but would need to drop about 4 more to get any quality dming in. crawling though attics this time of the year wears on me mentally and phiscally...130 degres on a good day, 140 degrees on a not so good day (55 C and 60 C if i did my math right)
I hear you...if I have to get into my attic this time of the year, I only go up in the early morning hours.

in an attic, there is no air flow and the shingles absorb heat which in turn radiates into the attic space. I have taken an electronic meter and measured it at 130 F. as for the sahara, I have been there and you are right. it does indeed get that hot there!

I've got DeWar's back on this one...poorly ventilated attics can get up to 140F +. It is insane how hot in can get in an attic.

Well that's a lot of heat. I don't really know what an attic is, I presume it's a part of your houses up there, we just build different I think, at least from what I see on TV.

The attic is the part of the house above the ceiling, but beneath the roof. So you've got heat rising into the attic from the house, as well as the sun beating down on the roof...and with little ventillation, it is literally a "hot box" during the summer months.

Generally, there's nothing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most houses up there have two winged roof, and most of the house is made of wood, the planks in the roof that support the... well I don't know the word, the little red thingies that cover the roof in a "scaly" way.
Here hoses are made mostly of concrete, and mostly cubic. Here's a picture
As you can see there's no room for such things as an attic under the roof, which is usually made of... another word I don't know... This: http://www.maderas-techos-tirantes-m...da-de-zinc.jpg
covered with membrane of some reflecting metal over a tar base. Again the specific word escapes my mental dictionary. That's for avoiding rain and heat, the tar is hydrophobic and the reflective membrane stops heating.

They are called shingles, shakes or tiles, depending on the material they are made out of.

Shingles are made of asphalt with a pebble like coating on them, shakes are made of wood (usually ceder) and tiles are ceramic or clay. a good example of clay tiles in the southwest united states can be seen in the mediterrainian coast line cities, like spain and portugal.
The other covering with which you had the link to was corrigated steel. Rather nasty diring a hailstorm as there is quite a bit of noise. Usually used to cover sheds, animal shelters and barns. Have you ever expirenced a hail storm?
Animal shelters are usually lean-to like structures that house anything from horses to cattle to pigs.
Yhea I ahve experienced hail several times. The latest big storm did things like this
And I agree it makes some noise, even during normal rain, but most houses have concrete ceilings. You can walk on them, or build on them, just as it was regular floor. At least my house has that kind of roof on most of it. We have a second floor, which has the corrugated steel sheets.

Hmm you know what i just figured out. Constable Dawnhorn is a female Sun Elf. Abby is a female Sun Elf. She is also a Bard, with maximum ranks in Disguise... Right now if she takes 20 she will have a 28 disguise check. Add in +5 for minor details only (because the major details are gender, race and age. Sun elves have hundreds of years of adult time span in which they do not age visibly) and that's a 33 disguise check, at level 1!
No one will be able to recognize that she is not the real Dawnhorn - the largest bonus modifier for intimate knowledge of the character is +10. Most NPCs won't even get a Spot check unless Abby draws attention to herself, but even diligent ones won't succeed: If you come to the attention of people who are suspicious (such as a guard who is watching commoners walking through a city gate), it can be assumed that such observers are taking 10 on their Spot checks.
If she waits until level 2 she can get one more rank in Disguise and Bluff, making the base mod +9, with +2 synergy bonus from Bluff. She can also get the Disguise Self spell for a +10 bonus. So at level 2, Abby can make herself look like Elaria's twin with a 20+9+2+5+10 = 46 check!
What do you guys think.. Should she cause some mischef?

Well Abby is Chaotic but she is not Evil. So while she could do it for kicks and possibly for the greater good of Harrowdale (if it was a way to help out), she will not be stealing.
