My small TTRPG group has now started playing Pathfinder 1e, and one of the players is now DMing this new effort! We had our first session last night where we spent a lot of the time learning some of the game mechanics that are different than our previous sessions with D&D5e. Pathfinder is a lot more detailed (crunchier?) for stats and has more math in it. We're meeting again this Thursday to play more Pathfinder, so we'll see how that goes.

The Adventurer’s Guide to the Bible for D&D5e
FROM THE ARTICLE:
The Adventurer’s Guide to the Bible converts locations,
characters, and monsters from the Bible into material playable with
D&D fifth edition. As I read through the 350 pages, I was struck
that the material was sufficiently true to the source material while
also being a heck of a lot of fun. It isn’t merely a list of people and
places as they appear chronologically in the Bible. Instead, Red Panda
has created a unique adventure experience that brings roleplaying
loosely into the narrative of the Bible.
The book details the basic historical setting evocatively in order to create an immersive campaign setting, as well as an adventure that takes characters through levels 1 – 10. Importantly, the campaign runs parallel to the events of the Bible, so players will encounter familiar people and places from Bible stories, but the adventure, while “on rails” still offers flexibility enough to tell an interesting story around the table.
And if you think inspiration from the Bible isn’t already in your D&D game then you don’t know your history. The Bible has leviathans, giants, oracles, serpents, and sorcerers! It’s the OG D&D. In fact, half of Gygax’s inspiration was the Bible and the other half was Tolkien, who took his inspiration from the Bible.
The spell summon monster and cleric class was created by Gary Gygax using direct inspiration from 2 Kings 2: 23-24. The spell gentle repose is taken from an ancient Catholic ritual. King Solomon was a demon wrangler. And I’m honestlyly going stop there because, as I think about it, I could be here all day with examples and I haven’t even touched on Tolkien and his influences.

Weekly TTRPG Time
I got some people (who shall remain nameless to protect the guilty) who are coming over this Thursday evening, as we resume our weekly get-together to play Table Top Role Playing Games (TTRPG). This week we are going to try a short adventure/one-shot using the Pathfinder 1e ruleset. Should be interesting since we have been using the D&D5e rules up until this point. Not sure if we will continue on with Pathfinder, as the company (Paizo) has gone very woke. Maybe I'll just have to limit myself to the first edition material that came out before they went totally woke and ignore the second edition stuff. I also have Basic Fantasy RPG and Old School Essentials, so we might try those.
How to play Pathfinder 2e
Here's a pretty good explanation of how to play the Pathfinder 2e Role Playing Game (RPG).

End of another year...
Here we are at the end of yet another year. They seem to be going by faster now. I still have my little corner of the world with my wife and my dogs, which is good. We shall see what 2023 brings.
Celsius vs Fahrenheit
Ok Americans, time to catch up with the rest of the planet.
Temperatures in Celsius:
100 is boiling, 30 is hot, 20 is nice, 10 is cold, and 0 is ice.
100C = 212F
30C = 86F
20C = 68F
10C = 50F
0C = 32F
37C = Normal Human Body Temperature
120F = 48.8C (In Arizona, but it's a dry heat...)
The number 9 is interesting...
According to the Theory of Nikola Tesla's 3-6-9, there are all together 1 to 9 digital root numbers exist. All other higher or lower numbers are the combination of those digital root numbers.
The number 9 produces an interesting pattern:
09+09=18 (1+8=9)
18+09=27 (2+7=9)
27+09=36 (3+6=9)
36+09=45 (4+5=9)
45+09=54 (5+4=9)
54+09=63 (6+3=9)
63+09=72 (7+2=9)
72+09=81 (8+1=9)
81+09=90 (9+0=9)
90+09=99 9+9=18 and 1+8=9
9x9=81 and 8+1=9
You can continue past 100 as well:
99+09=108 (1+0+8=9)
108+9=117 (1+1+7=9)
117+9=126 (1+2+6=9)
126+9=135 (1+3+5=9)
135+9=144 (1+4+4=9)

You can also take 2 aspirin first, the google "Tesla 3 6 9"...
Today I learned...
Today I learned that the phrase "Dungeons & Dragons", translated into Spanish, is:
"Mazmorras y Dragones"
Relativity Limerick
There was a young lady named Bright,
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night.
To her
friends said the Bright one in chatter,
"I have learned something new
about matter:
My speed was so great,
Much increased was my weight,
Yet I
failed to become any fatter!”
The Stein Family...
There's a notable family named Stein
There's a Gert & there's Ep & there's Ein;
Gert's prose is all bunk
Ep's sculpture just junk
and nobody understands Ein!
