Here is a video I ran into a couple of days ago on You tube. 

 I'm not really familiar with actual amour but this guy has done some research.  It's from a few years ago and he has other related videos.

Thanksgiving dessert is usually a pumpkin pie and at least one other random dessert, typically a cheesecake or cake.  It's important that dessert be a nutritionally compete meal.

 

The family's been frying turkey for years, in one of those suicidally dangerous propane turkey fryers.  It's fast enough to make three or four turkeys in a morning.  Have to do the stuffing separately though.

 

Another option we discovered a few years back is frozen turkey breast.  If presentation is not important, it lets you make the best part of the turkey with way less hassle than doing the whole bird.

 

 

I used to joke that I liked to smoke the turkey, but it was hard to  keep it lit... until I succeeded.  I still smoke the bird, but I have invested in a fire blanket just in case.

LA is currently the hottest it's been in....125,000 years.

I live in Woodland Hills.  121 f on Sunday. I win!   

It took me two days to post this because I've been hiding under wet towels ever since.  When I was a kid, 106 was the worst  scorcher imaginable. Now we're cookin'!

John Lammers is updating Epic table and is working on making it Hero System friendly.  He is working on  it by himself  so Epic table 2 may take a little time.  The current version is clunky, but not as technical as some others. I am not technically minded so I like it.

In this case, is there a write up of the Wendigo is any of the books, either 5th or 6th ed?   I need one for my steampunk game and I sorta remember one, but can't for the life of me remember where.

I sat down with a couple of the books and worked out a chart for real world speeds.  If you wanted to have a 40mph speed with a 9" movement you would need a 12 speed.  For 27" movement, you would need a speed of 4.  I think the information I used was from the Ultimate Vehicle sourcebook. I don't know how to upload my chart.  Good luck.

I think the difference of thought here is : is the situation Man against machine (trap) or man against environment (confined space with limited  time and a set amount of damage to  escape.)  I'd just define a no cost entangle to represent the work needed to escape and a small constant killing attack (perhaps 1 damage class), against limited defenses.  No need to even build it out any farther.  It shouldn't be paid for by points because it can be done by anyone with a shovel. You could add a Professional skill: Serial Killer to add flavor and explain how he always knows where and when to do the job.

The way my group uses  an obvious focus with an indirect power is that  an observer will know something is happening with the Helm, but will not know exactly what the effect is until  it manifests.. The GM might insist on an intelligence roll for someone to know an indirect power is coming from  the helmet.  Occasionally, hiding behind something might hide the source, but if used to often that tactic violates the rule that a disadvantage must give a disadvantage. That is a GM call.

I am preparing for my groups sorta annual gaming weekend trip and wanted to  go back to mapping, which we haven't been doing lately.  So I pulled together 100 miniatures and a 30" by 7' grid with dry erasable cover for about $12 plus tax.  I bought a pack of 100 meeples  for $9.99 from Amazon. Then I numbered each color to ten and put eyes on front to mark facing.  After we tried them out I put a dot of paint on the top , a different color for each number, to help identify them from above.  I then bought a roll of wrapping paper with a one inch grid on the back  (make sure it is labeled as having a grid) and a clear shower curtain from Dollar Tree.  Dollar Tree also has dry erase markers, if you need them.  Any other cheap  ideas?

So, I'm at the movies watching Spiderman with 8 of my best friends when the 7.1 hit more than 100 miles away.  The rolling waves  felt like at  least 30 seconds.  You could tell the non-Californians by who got up and quickly left the theater.  The rest of us just stayed in our seats and watched  the movie.

Page 35 of the Equipment Guide has a write-up. Super-boomerangs are also on page 154 and give you a few more options. 

Thank you.

I know I've seen Boomerangs in one of the books but I can't find it. Has anyone got the write-up?

I am running a steampunk game and made Wild, Wild West required watching for a teenager who wanted to join the group.  One with Dr. Loveless required.  The show was a great intro to the Steampulp feel of my game.

For those who don't know, Dr. Miguelito Loveless was a mad scientist who believed he was the hereditary king of Mexico and was really ticked off with West and Gordon for continually interfering with his plans of world conquest.  He was also a little person. He was played brilliantly by Michael Dunn.

You can go ahead and notify the insurance company of your losses, because this has been _stolen_ from you.

 

 Just make it funny.   The more outlandish the effects are,  the more the player can enjoy risking the unluck at every roll.

Today I had to put down my 16 year old Shiba Inu, Foxy Dude.  He has been failing for a few months and  sometime last night he collapsed,  He may have thrown a clot or had some other  kind of stroke.  He couldn't stand and was showing signs of some brain damage.  I know that I couldn't let him suffer, but I'm feeling guilty.  I decided to kill a creature who could love.  It's going to take some time..  He was 2  years past his experation date, but it is still hard.

The ugly orange wall and I are safe so far.

I live in the San Fernando Valley, in Los Angeles.The mandatory evacuation zone for Woolsey fire is a few miles to the south, the mandatory evacuation zone for the Bell Canyon arm even closer to the north (4 blocks), a voluntary evacuation zone ends a half a block west. And the winds are changing. I guess my honey badger bathroom may not be a problem for long.  I will be leaving if the flames get much closer.

That would be a very aggressive color.

Oh, it is.  I just finished a medication that turned my urine day glow orange. This almost the same color, but not as pretty. The consolation is, I can cut out some triangles and a mouth out of felt and turn the powder room into the inside of a jack o'lantern looking out for Halloween.

The sample said honey beige, the can said honey beige, the wall said orange.

What?  It's just a cosmic monkey showing her baby how to destroy reality.  Nothing unusual here.

(Yes, I know those aren't their breeds. I'm trying for bon mots here, cut me some slack.)

The Dog is a Samurai Shiba!  Shiba Inu that is. My shiba approves.

Add tracks and a saddle and it is sold!
