Oh boy

Fun times begin @Shalvenay

@Sandwich -- it's triggered by a rollback during server restart, so its not really exploitable

Aww lame

Unless you can do something to force a server rollback

Doubtful

but it's still rather aggravating -- had to stop-the-line and stand down my top end char until the DMs can fix this up. it's a known issue, apparently too!

Sounds like a fun server

"If you see a desiccated corpse crying forlornly in the wilderness, run. Run as fast as you can. Pray to the distant stars the corpse did not see you."

O.O

That's the same concept as a duck in the dungeon @DuckTapeAl

"a duck in the dungeon"?

For example

Lets say your party is in the second floor of a dungeon

And you just arbitrarily see a duck, in the dungeon.

The act of there being a duck in a dungeon should provoke a fight or flight response

Because there's obviously something horribly wrong going on

Ah, I see.

In these circumstances you should never ever pick up the duck

Because something awful is most definitely going to happen

If you're a REALLY good DM

You can use Duck in a dungeon to screw with people

@Sandwich -- its a NWNism :P

@Sandwich -- OTOH, a duck in the dungeon might just be there to be food. :P

(the bug that is -- it's a consequence of NWN not having a proper DB for char vaults)

I've been trying to put together an adventure for a while now in the Lovecraft style, except that there's actually nothing supernatural going on.

So like, I set the player's expectations before the game by telling them it's sort of Lovecraftian, and have the characters slowly go mad from investigating a creepy mansion.

And at the end, reveal that the only thing that drove the characters mad was their own expectation that something awful was going to happen.

@Sandwich Omg Omniglot.

that duck was tasty with a nice orange glaze

im far more concerned with dungeon graffiti

"FOR A GOOD TIME, CALL GIGGLES THE ELF"

@DuckTapeAl :DDDDDDDDD that would be awesome

@DuckTapeAl What about it?

I'd never heard about it before, and it's amazing.

Oh yeah.

Yes it is.

wizards has such a complicated publishing system for dnd

so many hoops to jump through

Yeah, at one time I had hoped to make stuff for 4E, but the steps made it ridiculous.

They are very hardcore about holding onto IP and defining things, which is great for brand management but draws a harsh line between WOTC publishing and anything else anyone else might want to make.

To a degree I wonder if they're afraid of fostering another Paizo.

Augh. I am having a ridiculous time finding a Pathfinder character spreadsheet that works for me. Either it autocalculates a bunch of stuff like class skills and won't let you set your own (which would be fine, except it doesn't have the skald), doesn't actually work in any software I have available to me, or is just too huge to be practical.

hey again @Bankuei

@Pixie Spreadsheet? Do you want it to be online or do you want it to be editable?

@IronHeart Preferably both. Online game. Something that functions with Google Drive or OneDrive is ideal.

PDFs are out of the question because they are a pain, I have tried this before.

But so far I'm having tough luck finding anything that even functions 100% in LibreOffice, and if it does, it doesn't meet the other requirements.

I am about to either give up and just throw it into a text file or do MythWeavers, but having lost several of my characters when Plothook went down because I didn't back them up, I am now leery of the latter option.

@Pixie I had the same problem during my last PF game, and I wasn't able to find any good solutions.

@DuckTapeAl Ouch! Well, at least I'm not alone.

I found one that I think is extensible enough to add new classes, but the data is formatted sort of weirdly.

[offers al coffee]

...I've been doing too much foruming lately, I think.

Unrelated, I finished Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood on the weekend, and I had forgotten how much of a tear jerker it could be.

I think mentioning FMA when you're in a chatroom with someone whose name is based on an Alphonse cosplay is always related. :P

I've never seen Brotherhood. I'm guessing it's good?

... that's where your name came from? Awesome.

Well, unrelated to the Pathfinder thing, but that is what reminded me, haha

Take a look at my icon. I'm on the right, and my wife is on the left, as Lulu.

@Pixie His avatar is one of his cosplays featuring an Alphonse made out of duc[k/t] tape.

Oh! I see it in your icon now. It is so tiny I could not tell before. xD

Very nice!

...back when I had a deviantart.

Heh.

First draft of my campaign influence map is in the Spoil-Lair. There's a lot I'm going to change on the next pass, but I really like it.

Not gonna lie: that format makes me think of the cover of a GURPS book.

That's fair.

I had a lot of fun breaking the lines.

It definitely looks cool.

Kaldur! Yay! Very nice all around.

@Pixie I've always loved those magic waterbending tattoos.

They are pretty cool.

(Also Atlanteans will show up in one form or another.)

(The robot arthropod is another Atlantis reference, as well as just being a crystal-powered giant robot arthropod.)

The only thing I recognize is Indy. :P

From top left, across and down: Hellboy; Thunderbirds Are Go; Grimm; Warehouse 13; City of Lost Children; Lord of Light; Young Justice; Mystery, Inc; Indiana Jones; Dinotopia; Janelle Monae; Lovelace & Babbage; Warehouse 13 again.

I'm not satisfied with all the pictures and will probably switch out at least Grimm.

But the general idea is there, and it was a lot of fun.

I used to watch Young Justice. It had some flaws that made it less enjoyable as time went on, but at the outset at least, I really liked it. Kaldur was my favorite character.

Oh hey, I figure I should ask in here: Anyone interested in the Fortnite beta? I've got a couple extra keys.

Fortnite?
