Re: What are you listening to?
The Offspring was my favorite band as a kid and are entirely responsible for the development of my taste in music. That said I haven't listened to them much in the last several years and until yesterday I probably hadn't heard this song in a decade. I've probably heard it a hundred times but the lyrics never hit as hard as they do now. As an almost 21 year old song it's more relevant than ever. 
Bonus older song that never got the hit single release it deserved.
Extra bonus (because I love this band so much). Lead singer Bryan "Dexter" Holland is (to my knowledge) the most intelligent
rock star of our time. The man holds a PhD in microbiology concerning HIV. His dissertation can be read in full here http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/ref/collection/p15799coll40/id/364391

Re: Expo 2019 Tiki Oasis Challenge
If @cola gets 5 new friends to show up, I'm pretty sure he becomes King Of The Oasis. That's just science.

Expo 2019 - Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Bomb Defusal Competition
Introducing for the first time at Expo: Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Who Can Play
EVERYONE.
You do not need to be good at video games, you do not need to bring anything to participate.
This game is easy to learn, super fun and suitable for any skill level. If you can operate a mouse and keyboard, you can play. If you can't, you can still be on the defusal squad!
The Game
One person on your team has a bomb in front of them while the rest of your team has the manual. Only the defuser can see the bomb, and they are the only one who can not see the manual. You must communicate with each other in order to defuse the bomb before it explodes.
This is a PC-tabletop hybrid. The bomb will be on a screen which only the defuser can see and interact with. The rest of the team will have a paper manual.
What to Bring
Just your wonderful self (and your friends)!
You may download the manual here, but copies will be provided: http://www.bombmanual.com/
The Competition
Many bombs will explode and teams compete against the clock, rather than each other. Thus this is more of a ladder than a tournament. All teams will complete the same number of rounds and scoring will be based on total # of bombs defused, and shortest total defusal time. You'll need to stick around until the end of the event or else abandon your team!
Now Hiring
I am currently looking for one person to assist in the running of this event to enable us to run two games simultaneously. If you are interested, please PM me.

Aww yiss. Can't upload an image, though. But green lock looks good.
Yeah, noticed that fairly shortly afterwards, I'm just out of server diagnostic steam for the moment. It'll get fixed soon-ish.

Expo 2019 D&D One-Shot: Monster Slayers
Announcing our 2019 Expo D&D game - Monster Slayers
It's simple. You kill monsters for money. You don't overthink it. They die so that you can live. Sometimes you even think you are helping others, saving them from horrible deaths at the claws of alpha predators. How you ended up in the steaming jungles of Chuult is your own business. Why you teamed up with those other Slayers isn't a mystery, though. Everything in Chuult is bigger than you, stronger than you, and hungrier than you. You need their help if you want to claim the big prize.
Who can play in the game EVERYONE and ANYONE. No D&D experience needed, we will teach you at the table
Characters We will be playing at 5th level. If you have a 5th level character that you want to play with, bring it. This includes the characters in my Talus IC game. If want to create a character, use the dndbeyond.com character builder and choose 5th level. Lastly, I will bring a few pre-gen characters that you can play as well.
Will there be Miniatures and Terrain like last year? YES. I am going to bring the big box of monster minis that I have and I'll bring some terrain. HOWEVER, I'll admit upfront that if I wasn't moving two weeks before the game I would have a better setup, so setting expectation accordingly, this might not be as epic a layout as last year, YMMV. But that does mean you should bring a mini for your character if you have one.
Can I PVP kill @primesuspect ? NO. Unless he is being very annoying. Then sure.

Re: Moving servers soon
I must be getting better at this because I noticed the logs were going to fill the hard drive overnight before it happened and prevented it, see.
