That day, no. Doing good to remember lunch yesterday. But I still have a link to a gaming blog where we started a game on Sept 14, 2005 so it seems the group adopted it fairly quickly. May have taken that long before someone was confident enough to try running and for us to wrap up whatever...

Consider buying the Beginners Box. Between the Player's Reference Card(PRC) and the last two pages of the Game Master's Guide, you have probably 80% of what you need to know to play PF2 after the players get their characters setup. Provide copies of the PRC to each player and yourself.

Milord/Milady might work. An honorific that is used when the speaker doesn't know who is being addressed. Also used for untitled nobles and offspring where Lord/Lady is inappropriate. It would be incumbent on the addressed to politely correct the speaker if desired.

Melee is available as a free download from Warehouse23, the Steve Jackson Games online store. As mentioned above, it is a subset of Fantasy Trip but for the price, a good way to give it a try. If nothing else, you wind up with a free quick to play combat game.

Why humans? D&D probably wouldn't have sold well if the main pitch of the game was "Buy this game and pretend to be an Orc..." Once the game was established, players wanted to try different things and the publishers obliged. But even then, it is far easier to imagine a Human centric world as...

Tripped over this while searching for results of the Aug 5th thing: The Hearing is Set for August 18 to Hear Motions Regarding Diamond's Consignment Sale Plan - Graphic Policy

No beard but I did play D&D before there were versions, saw Star Wars before there were episodes and remember when Monty Hall was a game show host.

Saw this topic: I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism and looked up the word 'bioessentialism'. And now I have yet another use for that 10' pole so popular in early editions.

If the levels are within 1 or 2, can work. Too far apart and something like a sleep spell can take the low levels out while ignoring the higher. Almost any AOE spell that does damage can put a low level at risk while leaving the high levels with lots of HP left. Burning Hands vs a 3,3,3,1...

In 1980, The AD&D PHB was $10 by the price list in the back with a page count of 126. (DMG listed as future publication) Adjusted for inflation, today's price would be $39. By comparison, the PF2 Players Core is listed at $60 on Paizo web site and it has a page count of 326. By page count...

In my experience, a majority of game ends are due to the GM running out of ideas or exhausting the campaign they started and not some mystical level issue. I think this is why the 1-20 adventure paths came out. But adventure paths have their own, well discussed issues and often end early for...

Drill out the holes if you have small drill bits. If the holes wind up a bit too large, glue to the rescue. Or as mentioned, sand off the pegs and again, glue to the rescue. If you plan on painting the base, rough it up with fine grit sandpaper before you glue on the mini.

Was playing RPGs before reading Tolkien but not by much. Was introduced to both in college. I knew of the Hobbit in high school as some class I didn't take required reading it. For a couple of weeks each semester, you would see several students carrying around paperback versions. Other then...

Standard IANAL disclaimer. Names from classic mythology are generally safe. Zeus, Apollo, Jupiter, Hector, etc. Names from older text should also be good. Think Bible era. I would avoid a direct reference to published settings. Don't call it Dark Sun. Cast it as taking place in a desert...

This tactic by Visa/Mastercard isn't new. Been going on in the US for several years. Discover has long been the card of choice in such situations but Discover was recently bought by Capitol-One(What's in your Wallet?) so that may change. Don't think Discover works in the EU/GB since it has...

Lore is very portable between game systems. Not that hard to run a PF game in Waterdeep. Or Cidri, the primary world of The Fantasy Trip. I have an impromptu experiment going featuring PF1 and PF2. Two different GMs are running games and I have a similar character concept running in each...

This. I have used coins, slugs, glass beads, etc to represent encounter critters. My red T-Rex D&D collectable purchased for $5 on the secondary market has seen many uses as a dragon, giant, or at least once a T-Rex. Most players would much rather have a close match to how they visualize...

Any info on the scheduled hearing today or if it even happened?

Some of the best fries were had when I was a kid at the local Dixie Dog hamburger joint. When you ordered the fries, you could watch the owner put the potato into the magic curly fry maker and crank the handle. So really fresh fries. The place is still there. Don't know if they still hand...
