It concluded when Pharaoh Hatshepsut (amused by the gender reversal which paralleled her own claim to the crown) decreed that the man had been given Bast's blessing, and it would be churlish of her followers to reject such an obvious miracle.
...and there's where the fun began, as Ajani struggled to adapt to his sudden rise in station, and the antagonism he faced from almost all his new peers.
VMWare is a pretty famous software vendor, mostly involved in machine virtualization technologies. One of the recurring bug in their software (one that actually is pretty common in other vendors software too, but not so aggravating) is that often the copy function(ctrl+c) between the VM and the host won't recognize the key combo.
but it paradoxically sort of wasn't as fun as it could have been with more PC's and was kinda too focused on my character to easily bring other PC's in
this is the reason why they often say that the fastest way to recognize someone that works with VMWare is to look at the way he copy a file. If he/she furiously tap ctrl+c multiple times then you will know VMware has another victim.
Ahh. My issue is all physical. The keys on this laptop are just really stiff. I have to press them harder than any other keyboard I own, so my typo incidence has skyrocketed since I started using this computer again.
Once I read about a discussion between a gm and his players. The group was going down a corridor, about 3m wide and 3m tall. Suddenly, they find the path "blocked" by a glowing pyramid, also 3m wide and 3m tall.
from there it seem that gm and players got lost in a discussion about the possibility to just continue past the pyramid since in a square corridor a triangle must leave some space on the sides...
Bah. Glowing pyramids that size are usually psychic containers for ancient god-like beings that want to suck out your brains, literally and/or metaphysically. Squeezing past them just isn't a winning proposition.

(Hmm. Idea for a new self-help book: Shanghorns are from Venus, Osirans are from Mars.)
@trogdor I'm not sure I'll ever be able to top it. The group was perfect, the timing was right, and "Yetis are gentle and timid" hit a note I'm not sure I could ever hit on purpose.
@BESW remembers me of a friend of mine that always roleplayed "animal tamers" characters. He would go for hours claiming how timid, cute and defenseless creatures Nightmares where.
@BESW I get the difference. The whole point was that he one-handed managed to "persuade" the gm (or to be more realistic "stress the gm enough to have it like he wanted") that the nightmares where just "poor victims of the circumstances and actually good-hearted"
> Hey I didn't say thMMPH! Once per session you may, at any moment, loudly and obnoxiously clear your throat and then pretend to be the GM for one sentence, as long as you're also acting an impression of their speech as well (badly). You must pay a fate point for each subsequent sentence.
@BESW I like "FOR MUSTARD AND KETCHUP!". Sure to also rile up any true believers in Ketchup and BBQ sauce. The people who shout for BBQ Sauce and Mustard have just given up and accepted its unpopularity.
You forgot something like "Don't ask where it kept that", the almighty power that enables any good rpg videogame character to find a sword inside a dead sewer rat.
@BESW You are right, my bad. Then maybe something like "Give them the popular characters" that enables you to call on your side a famous character from your setting for the rest of the session... even if that does not make any sense at all. For a totally random example, you may want to call an elf ranger to help you on the road to a lost dwarf city...
Even better if you are going to save a princess and manage to have said princess join you in the journey.
> Why was that even there..? Once per session you may produce one piece of equipment that you found in/on a nearby storage place or corpse, regardless of how likely it was to be found there, or whether they're even remotely the same size.

A quest where you have to save your living sentient world from all the dungeon creatures digging into it to setup their dungeons are slowly killing it.
@Sandwich That wouldn't be a bad idea. The sentient planet recruits a child raised by one of the dungeons that isn't harmful. (It's an above ground dungeon or something)
@Sandwich Well, while I would probably pass on the dog suit loot roll, I would really love a sci-fi version of it that operates like Megaman ZX biometals
@Sandwich but..... what if instead of a dog-suit it was a dog-shoe? Would it still go by Mario rules? Because, you know.... you could wear a Tanuki suit and be in the Kuribo Shoe at the same time.
Well, if you get enough people to agree that something is a thing, then it becomes that thing. Cause words are just agreed upon signifiers. Get enough people to call your shoe a suit, and it becomes a real suit, cause that's the commonly held objective reality.
@doppelgreener "Why was that even there..?" makes me think of Maid. That is the kind of thing you can do with a Luck roll. It does require the roll, though, and odds may be high. (But then, somewhere I saw someone sum up Maid as "roll if it would be funny if you failed, " so this isn't a bad thing per se. Failure is comedy in a proper Maid game.)
"Don't worry, master! I have that right here! [pulls out something completely different, or falls on face and breaks thing, or shoves it into master's face]"
We have a scroll tag with all of six questions (though one doesn't seem to deserve it).
Do we need this tag, or does magic-items suffice? Should it be merged with magic-items as a synonym?
@DavidReeve No, 4D Dress lets you produce anything in the mansion without a roll. As long as it's conceivably there, you can pull it out.
If you're looking for something that has no business being in the mansion, or you don't have 4D Dress as your power, then you would roll Luck. The less sensible the thing, the higher I'd make the roll, but if you're trying to use Luck this way, you probably have high Luck (or are prepared to fail hilariously). You can also spend Favor if you really want to succeed.
Pokemon is this way too, but for generally much better reasons/in ways that are much easier to accept. It's funny, though. People love to concoct grimdark fan theories about Pokemon, but you don't even need them. Its world is absolutely horrifying.
Children are literally catching the souls of the dead and pitting them against dragons who never stop attacking everything in their path and living toxic waste.
Pokemon are so dangerous, like so dangerous, and people are like, "Well, child, you're all of 10 years old now! Time to go out into the world and tame these creatures so you can pit them against each other!"
And that's honestly just scratching the surface. :P
But let's briefly examine some ghost Pokemon. Just some of them.
> Each [Yamask] carries a mask that used to be its face when it was human. Sometimes they look at it and cry. [Drifloon] are called the "Signpost for Wandering Spirits." Children holding them sometimes vanish. [Haunter's] tongue is made of gas. If licked, its victim starts shaking constantly until death eventually comes. [Haunter] hides in the dark, planning to take the life of the next living thing that wanders close by. If anyone dares to grab [Honedge's] hilt, it wraps a blue cloth around that person's arm and drains that person's life energy completely.
Anime Pokemon are considerably different as they often entirely discard the pokedex, which is kind of funny since the entire point of your Pokemon journey is supposed to be collecting this scientific information. :P
It's not just ghost Pokemon, either. Spoink dies of heart failure if it ever stops bouncing, Ninetales can curse you for 1000 years for pulling one of its tails, and Xatu "stays still and quiet because it is seeing both the past and future at the same time."
This isn't even touching what Pokemon are physically capable of, either -- just the ones that are by their nature terrifying or distressing.
Just imagine if Team rocket had built a machine to see what is inside a Xatu's brain instead of trying to capture the same pikachu for thirtyteen seasons
@Sandwich It was a good experience for me before, but I think that was because of C/C++ questions. Now I have fringe questions on Jasmine/MongoDB stuff, so it's not mainstream enough to get replies :(
Morning Musume is the best way to get pumped for things like punching skeletons to death with your bare hands. (I know of people who do the same thing with kpop and MMO dungeon raids.)
I'm not actually a LoL player myself. Tried it briefly, didn't especially get into it. But a couple of my friends are super into it, and Jinx's trailer song had just come out around the time of the anime convention I stay at their house for. So I heard Get Jinxed... roughly 1000 times. xD
