Pathfinder: Burnt Offerings

[CanadienneBacon]

Don't make anything yet. Unless you just want to.

I won't guarantee I pick this game back up to DM it. I've applied to Bellarmine University and am waiting to hear back re: my FAFSA to determine how much of the $28k in annual tuition I can borrow or get in the form of a grant and/or scholarships. If that falls through, I'm looking at finishing up vis a vis U. Maryland. And if that falls through, then maybe I'm working part or full-time while Shannon goes through seminary for the next three years. That said, I've been happy to take my year's sabbatical from PbP, but I also miss gaming here and am examining options.

Things are percolating in the back of my head and as registration at both Bellarmine and Maryland ends August 25th-ish, I should know soon how much time I have to devote to pastimes.

I do really the idea of Martial Rogues (Unearthed Arcana variant, swaps out Sneak attack for fighter bonus feats).

Martial rogue from UA might be okay. I sold UA back in 2007 so if we get this shindig going, I'd need you to e-mail particulars to me. In fact, several of the books that are one the original "allowed" list for this game I no longer have. Will have to inventory my books, I guess.

You can find most things from UA in the online SRD.

You're awesome, Rhun, thanks.

I had a meeting this morning with Bellarmine University. I'll receive a call from them later today or tomorrow re: my application, how many credit hours will transfer, and what my financial aid packet might amount to. Hope it goes well!

I just find it a lot easier most the time to look up my rules online, instead of in my books. LOL.

Good luck, CB!!!

So where are we at now on this?

Good to hear from you, Olaf. How's baby?

We're still waiting on this. Or, more accurately, I'm still waiting to see if I can indeed do school this fall. I was admitted to a school but am waiting to see if I will be awarded financial aid. In the interim, I've registered for 17 credit hours this semester. As I was late applying, however, odds are that I won't receive financial aid in time and will be dropping the coursework in favor of waiting until the spring or even next fall to attend. The tuition's a ridiculous $28,000 per year, so without the financial aid I certainly won't be attending.

Thanks for letting me know CB.

Baby Sophie is going great. She is 11 months old now and is a real little person now rather than a baby (man they grow up so fast! - cliche but so true ) Not walking yet but she's commando crawls all over the place. She is starting to stand on her hands and feet a bit more now so I imagine that she'll just go from commando crawling to walking. But enough of my blathering!

Bad news, I won't have time to resume this game. Thank you all for your patience in waiting and for your openness to participating a second time.

Good news (well, for me at least), I was accepted at Bellarmine, registered for 17 credit hours, got a financial aid packet, but ended up withdrawing because--after some hard thinking--I decided it would be better not to borrow a lot of money in student loans to finish my bachelor's degree. Long story short, I'm in at U. Maryland and will finish up this spring from them with a B.S. in Information Systems Management. I have 30 credit hours until completion, so what with full-time studenthood, part-time employment, and family life I figure I shouldn't be heaping much more on my plate for the year.

Catch you lot around the boards.
