  1. Apparently she is out of surgery and recovering. Take that 2016!
  2. (Just cutting and pasting from Wikipedia today.) 583 – Yohl Ik'nal acceded to the throne of the Maya city-state of Palenque. 1793 – French Revolution: The Royalist counterrevolutionary army was decisively defeated in the Battle of Savenay, although fighting continued in the War in the Vendée for years afterward. 1916 – First World War: Allied forces gained a strategic victory in the Battle of Magdhaba, located in the Sinai Peninsula. 1938 – A South African fisherman discovered the first living specimen of a coelacanth (pictured), long believed to be extinct. 1986 – Piloted by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, the Rutan Voyager became the first aircraft to fly around the world without stopping or refueling, landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California after a nine-day trip.
  3. Jesus, 2016, cut it out already. It's not funny.
  4. I'd really rather Trump pick up a weapon and go deal with ISIS in person.
  5. I'm not sure that second sentence really factors into his analysis.
  6. Ironically a Magus is what I played that one time. Kind of a weird class. I remember I had to switch his preferred weapon from a spear to a rapier, and I had to make him a particular shade of elf in order to get a certain ability I needed, and I was going to have to use a hell of a lot of Shocking Grasp, because Shocking Rapier is how a Magus stays competitive. So I was able to play the high-dex human wind mage that was my original concept. Sort of.
  7. I've made this comment elsewhere, but I attempted to play Pathfinder once, and OMFG the proliferation of archetypes, feats, classes, races, specializations, and variants is mind-boggling. If there is a class-based system that is most likely to be able to handle a given character concept, it is surely Pathfinder. But wow do you have to wade through a lot of text to find it.
  8. Every single Christmas winds up this way.
  9. In aeons past, Armitage quoted the passage for Temporal Fugue from the even more ancient 100th issue of Dragon Magazine: I actually ran a character with this power once. The GM and the other players hated it.
  10. He is, but his power level is certainly cosmic. Strange mostly hangs out on Earth as well.
  11. Yo dawg I heard you like guns so here is a way to put guns on your guns
  12. Kan ku ingat s'lalu sorot mata itu Dihantu cemburu, dalam tatapnya berjuta duga Teringat selalu sorot mata itu Tak pernah tahu di dalam dada hatiku terluka * Ku ingin kembali Tanpa resah hati dari semua tanya Dan tak akan kupendam lagi Cinta ini dari semua yang menyangka Dan tak berhenti Kan kucoba mengerti semua pertanyaanmu Tentang perasaanku walau semuanya biasa adanya T'lah kucoba mengerti dan jelaskan dirimu Semua perasaanku dengan dirinya, dia yang kucinta **Kuingin kembali Tanpa resah hati dari semua tanya Dan tak akan kupendam lagi Cinta ini dari semua yang menyangka Dan biarkan aku kembali Tanpa semua sangsi yang s'lalu meraja Di relung hati Lepaskan diriku dari semua duga Dan biarkan aku terbang ikuti malam dan pagi Jalan masih jauh yang harus aku tempuh Dan harus aku coba meraih asa, cita dan cinta Lepaskanku dari semua duga

  16. Farsighted is more appropriate to old age tbh.
  17. Twelve of them. Speced, quoted, bought, shipped, received, configured, and tested. By New Year's.
  18. I could swear this has been addressed elsewhere in this forum, but I can't find it for the life of me. I'm interested in coming up with a comprehensive list of character concepts that certain class-based RPGs can't effectively handle. Here are some obvious ones, but what else am I missing? - Experienced But Aged Veteran Warriors - Lightly Armored Warriors That Aren't Monks - Characters With Severe Physical or Mental Impairments - Kids - Arbitrary Races Like Anthropomorphic Animals Or Dralasites Bonus points for characters out of popular works of fiction that could never be done in class systems, e.g. Last Airbender.
  19. Supervolcano under Naples shows signs of reawakening
  20. If you think that tagline fits, wait'll you see this g-string.
  21. Not sure I want to wait that long. Where else can I find cars driving fast in a straight line on a flat expanse? ...I know! The freeway!
  22. Okay, when I made my original comment about Lynda vs. Gal, I was kind of joking. I did not intend to start some sort of body shaming flame war. If this discussion stops being civil I will start posting nudes of myself in all my wrinkly, spotted glory. You have been warned.
  23. "Field Marshal, thousands of paratroops have landed in this area, three kilometres from here." "What? Why? There is nothing important here... me! I'm important! They must've landed here just to capture me!"
