You are a wonder. If you're dumping a charisma headband, I can likely cover the cost of that. I felt a new one wasn't urgent enough for the +1 bonus. In fact I am moving from a +2 to +4 belt (I think the gorgon is cool, and gives aoe, but not really worth 7k extra unless someone disagrees) I'm uncom...

So, I'm not sure if Tanks are just expensive, but I'm trying to predict what we'll face, and 30k (after tithe) is a good start. i actually had some thoughts for Sam. I passed on the spell absorbing ioun stone. If she buys a shining wayfinder (2k) she gets the ability to absorb spell as an immediate ...

As far as the manual goes, Hal has it, but hasn't read it. I thought after going 'round on it that we concluded raising his minimum made the most mathematical sense. When we get a ruling from Darcs on the rough totals, of everything, we'll likely spend a bunch of time investing in Magnimar, etc. Hal...

So can do we do now? First we have to get Putin's dick out of our mouth. Nothing useful happens until that first step. Next, we fund a think tank in Turkey for Syrian ex-pats to figure out what needs to be done on the ground. We get everyone to lay off the Kurds. We push what's left of ISIL into Syr...

To answer the Assad question, worst mistake of Obama's administration, not behaving like a superpower. Guy gasses his people, again. Finally have pretty solid evidence that he did it. Without more than an hour warning, but with an hour warning, that we are going to respond, we cruise missile every a...

I will ask the quill if it can draw us a detailed map of the road to xin shalast. I suspect either some of the books we have or the librarian will be able to supplement this with good intel, so that's at least a partial library visit. If the old books don't have high cash value, I'd consider integra...

Really Bad experience with an East Indian suitemate, took me years to recover. Blessedly, I have lived and worked in very diverse circumstances with mostly terrific people. Do I blissfully lead friends and family into situations that make them uncomfortable? Yup. Kids are over it. In some defense of...

This week, I think it's this week, I'll be wrestling with time zones and transportation. I'll do my best. Try not to die. If I don't get there fully, Hide behind Hal if Darcs lets you. He has like 8 lay on hands left. 6d6

So, white...only plausible reason I'm not in jail. Slovak, Celt, generally unliked, but still white. Stumbled on http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26471707/jazz-korver-reflects-racism-white-privilege ..which addresses some of the messiness of the social construct. Just because something is intangib...

Ditto on tardiness. Chauffeur duties, not too extreme.

Concur that Sanders and Biden should both have declared backup.

It's a lot, but California is a big state, and the article really slides around as far as dates and connections. Once again, though, if she suffers for it, it's only because there's accountability expected in one party. If she was a republican, it wouldn't matter as much. (Especially since some of t...

It's a golem. I moved into position to give you and kay flanking. I think, It may be attracted to the weapon you just made. If we can pour some healing into you or a wall of force in front of you, or something to slow the thing down, it's just a matter of time before it's dust. If dwyn shows, we'll ...

F.U.L.L. R.O.M.A.N.O.V. Nuke them from space. It's the only way to be sure.

Diane Feinstein is old. If she's the basement on detritus, then we'll be ditching most of 100 million people, assuming the metric is bombast and self importance. If you throw plain old selfish cussedness in, well, I think smallpox might be a less costly population trade. Ya, it's time she got it or ...

might be traveling on thursday, will update as possible, no playing while driving this time, Im afraid, unless spouse can handle device....hmmm

Exceedingly unlikely. Though nothing is impossible. There are fundamental differences, despite the whole starbucks, coffee is coffee whether it's white or black attitude. I submit that in the main, their difficulty with unity and direction is reflective of an attachment to reality. Everyone on this ...

Long, Ranty, Political, full disclosure. My father visited me at college one time, total, not for graduation nor dropoff, but to see a show I was in. He camped in for the weekend, saw the show, sat down for an extremely memorable D&D session, hung out in my suite, drinking and telling stories. D...

If I am hearing you right, she could pop into this plane, but location tricky. Wouldn't want her to end up, for example, in a part of wrath that we hadn't finished, Their boss is still around. Most other segments are survivable with some notable exceptions, traps, etc I was looking at the ioun stone...

Totally on point with proverbs. No interest in revenge, nor suffering. There's been more than enough suffering already. Unsurprised that Stone, mostly because of self characterization, was apprehended the way he was. He's likely to be armed. He's likely to destroy evidence. He's predictably going to...
