  1. At this point I could say great minds think alike! But, my ma used to say, "fools seldom differ" so maybe I shouldn't šŸ™‚
  2. Though I am not the one you asked... I might have an answer. I think Blogs... under Browse on the upper left of the BRP windows... and downloads, same place but to the left of Blogs, might serve your purposes.
  3. When time permits I will try Davis Scott's (PDF Expert) and see if I get the same results... Until the I can confirm similar results to yours with both Acrobat and with Preview on MacOS. Worthy of a note, I had terrible results with the Red Book of Magic and the Runes that powered spells and ending up working with SimeoĢn Cogswell for a week trying to find a better result. Conclusion was that Adobe handled it, Preview did not. I wonder if PDF Expert will be this months solution.
  4. Even with the AAA, or do you have it?
  5. Austin Conrad (Author of Monster of the Months and many great works) and I have been squinting through many maps over the years and it can be quite difficult. Good luck! Agreed!
  6. If this continues I will be asking the management to shut this thread down... this is incredibly insulting to me as a socialist and a trade unionist! And a fan of the IWW...
  7. As long as you never call them... the murderers socialist again... I will be happy... now again I ask this conversation be moved to another thread... It has no place here and worse... I do not like to be made kin of murderers It irks me a lot!
  8. Sir, I did not create this topic to be an argument about what socialism or what capitalism is or is not, I created it as a way to have a bit of fun at the expense of a head of lettuce as I recover from a devastating year of horrible health. Can you please create a forum on the evils and benefits of socialism or capitalism elsewhere in this fine tavern. We are now totally off topic and it is not looking pretty. Let's keep this are light and civil, SVP!
  9. China is not socialist. I have no idea what to call it, but socialist it is not. Do they still call themselves communist?
  10. As I am playing in an RQG Campaign, out GM have vetoed me reading some scenarios, in case he uses them. Fortunately, he is staying away from Pavis, Prax, and Dorastor, so I can read those. Just stay away from the ones you wrote Simon, unless ya have old folks disease. In which case go for it, it might well all be new to ya!
  11. I must say I disagree with it entirely as it exists today. But then I prefer socialism. Of course, not only is it legal up here (and has been for close to a century) we have a party dedicated to democratic socialism that is steps away from government... Now as I created this as a humorous forum I would love to find a joke to insert here but when I think I have zero housing rights in capitalism run amok Alberta, I can only cry when I think of the amount of money I get charged for rent, that I will never get anything back should I leave here and I can be kicked out in three months without cause or recourse. Oh, and this is after having paid 170,000 canuck bucks over 17 years!
  12. Oh sure, you tell New York landlord Donald Trump that! I ain't going near him!
  13. With his Secret Service guards he becomes the big man on tha block and takes over the contraband market muscling out the mafia, the bikers and all the other gangs! (proudly returning topics/threads to humour since 2017)!
  14. Shiny, absolutely shiny! Folks, I did not get a chance to work on this puppy, volume 3 was where I hung my hat, so getting a copy of this was a pleasant surprise. Volume 3, when I worked on it was 60 or so pages (Ian tells me it will possibly grow even larger!) and that one was filled to the brim with Pavic Goodness. This hefty tome weighs in at a mighty 201 pages (and the goodness is not stinted on from what I can see with a cursory glance! And this is only a portion of it. Ian, you are going to have to consider a leatherette slip case for the full series when it goes to Electrum and can be Printed on Demand! ;) Let's see. Great cover, name and art! Old skool look! Check, it is old skool, after all! Hmm, that name looks familiar, now where have I seen it before..? Crack it open and... page after page after page of lore. Wow! "Dust in my mouth and dust in my heart Even feeling homesick for Boldhome. If ever I go to Pavis again 'Devil shall be me sergeant. Poor old soldier - poor old soldier. If ever I go to Pavis again 'Devil shall be me sergeant." (Informal marching song, Army of Prax) Yep, now I can taste the dust of Pavis... So, it's off to Bob's Bison Burger for a pint to wash the dust away, and maybe a burger... now where is that joint.... flip, flip, flip, flop... ah here we go...Bob's Bison Burgers, page 147... In a small courtyard are benches and squat stone plinths that serve as tables, and through a large gap in the wall, patrons can view the peculiar machine, the ramp up which the (often unwilling) beasts are led, and the pistons and levers of the machine itself. This place is a talking point of the city, and makes a great profit despite not always using the highest quality meats. It doesnā€™t take much to describe just how fascinating this place is for the group, so make sure to do so with some enthusiasm and a sense of wonder. In my campaigns they returned several times, so describe how delicious and filling the burgers are. Anecdotes and info, check! Remember, Bob's not only yer Uncle, he makes a fine burger too! Best thing of traveling is the folk one meetsā€”and here are just two such fine folk. My money is on the short one! Oh yeah, the art. Pages of great old skool art by Dario Corallo, with a few new ones as well it looks like, and the great cover art is added to by the fine folk from Beer With Teeth (Kris Herbert & Diana Probst)! Any more inside, @Ian A. Thomson? Flip, flip, flip, Temples... check! Flip, flip, flip... Villains, er, I mean Lunars (boo, hiss, boo)... check. Flip, flip, flip... Our hero, Pavis (yay, huzzah!)... check! Flip, flip, flip... Dwarfs, check! Flip, flip, flip... Rubble, ohhh yes... Check! Gazetteers... yep, it's all right here! And that is only half way though! Looks good Ian, but if I keep on typing I can't be reading! Bravo and well done! Ah hell, put yer money down for this bad boy, you'll flip! (and keep on doing so, enjoyably, for quite a while!)
  15. and damn, this is not funny, but I could not find a button to give me Confused, Sad and Haha.... Hey, I just realized, I resemble that remark!! šŸ„ŗ
  16. Worthy of a mention, I only post this, and have a bit of a laugh with y'all because I have met few from Britain sans a sense of humour, and lord knows we all need a laugh on occasion. Okay, these days we need more laughs than that! Besides I'm Irish, I truly can't help it.
  17. My vote is for Natasha Fatale! Too, late, with that knack for scandal are you sure you are not a British MP? No. but isn't that Jesu, never mind... let's not start that scandal.
  18. Champions might be better, see Pavis city god in CoP for ideas. Don't forget, BRP is kinda OGL and this might be just great for it if yer up to a big project that will make you no bucks and keep you awake at night. And health permitting, I evan no of an edotor er too;who nose a byt aboot BRP and profredding hoo mit by able two hep...

  20. Someone has been there, done that, and got the t-shirt by now, shirley... er, surely.
  21. Debuting shortly after the perennial fave, the Upper Class Twit of the Year competitions. Off topic, hardly!
