Ok you d and d aficionados. I have never played but sounds interesting. I used to play the original adventure, colossal cave, on DOS a long time ago. You had to type in the directions. N for north, U for down. GET for pickup a nearby object. Etc.

 

My contribution to the discussion is to supply the dice for your game. I found a six sided rock!

Personally, I have an abusive relationship with D&D. I do not like the system. It does not play nice with my sensibilities or GM style. However, I own EVERY SINGLE EDITION because it keeps saying, "Oh baby, I've changed," and I keep believing it. Also it's all anybody wants to play, so I'm stuck.

I'll happily play it with friends, but I hate running it. I've been running the current game more-or-less weekly for over a year.

 

As for people who know about Aftermath... oh sweetie. I am SURROUNDED by game books over here. I love trying new systems. My shelves are choked with books and my E:/ drive is festooned with game-related .pdf files. During my unhappy denial years, I tried to fill the void in my soul with epic piles of RPG games (also some war games and board games). The result is an avalanche of RPG products. Most of which have only been played a couple of times. Some not at all (looking at YOU 7th Sea). I seriously have more stock than my friendly local game store.

 

Hugs!

Wow we have a lot in common then. I used to collect RPG books too. I had too many tho and got rid of a bunch. Did you ever play the original 1974 D&D? It can be played pretty free form, low focus on stats. I actually made a homebrew modern zombie rpg with that and it worked quite well.

Wow, no Zelda or Mario fans? My favorite is Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time. I heard a rumor Nintendo is coming out with an HD version for Switch late this year.

Haha, I have played those. The only Zelda I ever completed was A Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo. Never completed a Mario but always found them fun. I couldn't figure out Ocarina of Time. Majora's Made made me cry in frustration and I quit after losing the first mission.

I'd be interested to hear how that goes. It is an option that I think about. All the different options are overwhelming and I worry I will pick the wrong one.

Now you are talking. I love Mario. but the only two I have completed was Yosi's Island. And Super Mario brothers II. After my accident in the service I was introduced to Mario. When I was working CQ in the dorms. I would play it all night. Nothing better to do. And that was Nintendo.

 

Now my favorite games are the Fallout series (but Vault 79), Minecraft and Forza 4. 

 

Well it is getting late and this girl needs her beauty sleep. (like for 20 yrs)

 

Good night all.

There is a huge movement in the gaming community to get back to the original AD&D in various forms.  The movement operates largely under the umbrella of "Old School Rules," or "OSR."  There are a couple of rule sets out there that are free, or at least the starter rules are free and you can buy add-ons.  I downloaded a lot of the Basic Fantasy RPG for free.

 

I personally am not a huge fan of pre-third edition.  While the 3.5 rules are not prefect and are somewhat complicated for beginners, the options are awesome.  I like that creatures such as Vampires and Werewolves are modifications of base creatures rather that just set  monsters which need a lot of freehand DM tweaking to make anything else of them.  I like that a lot of humanoid monsters and even others can have character classes, so an orc could be just an orc, or it could be a 5th-level Orc Fighter, 4th-level Orc Rogue.  You just never know.  I have to say I have been somewhat disappointed with 5e, due to the fact they've dumbed down the game so much.  It isn't that I don't think there is a place for a dumbed-down rule set for beginners, I just haven't seen the rules upgrades to allow more complex and advanced game play.

 

I played both Basic D&D and AD&D back in the day.  Basic lasted about two sessions, while AD&D became a staple in my game life until 2e came out and my friends and I converted.

Yeah, I want to offload some of my collection, but I'm having trouble finding a buyer at the moment.

 

I started playing (with the rules anyway) in 1980-1981, before that... gosh, Queen of the Demonweb Pits... that must have been '78? That was more of a free-form thing but I was pretty young. Anyway, I've SEEN Chainmail but never played. My first rules set was the pre-red box basic set. Right now I'm kind of big on GENESYS. It'll do any genre besides super-heroes (it's bad at super-heroes, not that it doesn't try but...).

 

Yeah, I miss templates for monsters too @KimmieElise. 5e has the skeleton, which means they thought about it, but the rules set doesn't allow for that level of modular critter-building. I've found encounters are way more of an art than a science when I'm trying to make a combat encounter for 5e. 3e numbers worked (mostly, looking at YOU ghouls) better.

Honestly, I am very excited but I have idea what to expect. Like so many other girly things I refused to learn and avoid them because it may have caused me to question my identity before I was ready. I know there are guy that goto events likes this and don't think twice about who they are. Maybe hyper-avoidance? And yet when my wife asked me to goto the store to get something from "that aisle" I was OK with. Of course I had no idea exactly what she needed so I face-timed her, now who's embarrassed?

I'm afraid I tried D&D when it came out.  Joined one expedition and backed out after that.  Just didn't get into role playing.  I did spend lots of time playing Risk and Civilization though.  I still play Civilization on a computer.

Good morning everyone,

 

I'm early because my right hand is on fire reminding me that I may have over worked it. On top of the arthritis and carpal tunnel, I smashed my ring finger at the fingernail, instantly filling it with bruising pressure. I was able to relieve the pressure by lifting the tip of the nail, and draining it. 

 

My large coffee mug is serving as a heat source to gently warm my finger joints. I've rubbed in my prescription strength arthritis cream, taken some Aleve. Another therapy attempt is petting Amy the cat as she tries to block the iPad on my lap.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe.

No need be embarrassed, if you don't have kids, or it's been a long time since your kids were babies. You can't go wrong with buying the perishable items that every baby goes through. Wet wipes, disposable diapers, baby lotions, bath wraps, and the like. Then cute little onesies with you favorite unicorns and rainbows on them. Toys will come later, and if you're not having kids, then you get them the noisiest ones they can operate. 

 

Have fun with it,

The first baby shower I was ever invited to was for the lesbian couple next door, who were expecting their first baby.  Who'd have thunk a few years ago that this conservative, rednecky fishing village would see a baby shower with a trans-lesbian/lesbian-by-marriage couple as guests and a lesbian couple as the stars?  Everyone who was anyone was there (the women, anyway), and it was a lot of fun.

 

I might need an extra coffee this morning.  The rain we were supposed to get overnight came down as heavy, wet snow. :(

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me.

      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
