That's... correct, but it's not out of any particular skill. I could have gotten rich off of something else instead.

That sounds to me like you have a particular skill for making money.

I live in pretty much the best place in the world for making money, through absolutely no fault of my own - my parents moved here when I was small enough to fit in a microwave oven.

I don't suppose that it's normal on your planet for people to put babies in ovens?

Permalink

Oh, but it is! For every person born on my planet, there's been at least one baby put in an oven.

Permalink

...Whack.

While you're on Golarion, I would like to please refrain from putting any babies in ovens.

You're the one with alter self, Ileosa, not me.

Choryon.

Is it normal on your planet to put literal babies in literal ovens?

Permalink

It is not normal on my planet to put literal babies in literal ovens.

Permalink

I'm glad to hear it.

Now were you, as a baby, ever put in a literal oven?

Permalink

I was not, as a baby, ever put in a literal oven.

Permalink

That's what I thought, but I didn't want to assume.

If you're nobody important on Earth, and not particularly skilled at selling shoes, why don't you use the skills you have to become someone important?

Permalink

I don't think my elite gaming skills are in particularly high demand!

You could tell people how to defend their castles. Or, your friend designs deadly dungeons, right, I'm sure you

Permalink

He designs deadly dungeons in games.

Permalink

In games so detailed that you can take any action available to someone from Golarion! 

The games you play are just real life with extra steps!

Permalink

Real life is harder than games.

Permalink

Is Earth such an utter death world, and your competition in it so fierce, that it makes everything from Golarion look like an utter joke?

Permalink

Well, it doesn't hurt that the encounters on Golarion are usually level-appropriate...

Permalink

But you're saying that anyone from your world if they sat down at your game table could tear through my nascent Evil Empire like it's all written on paper.

Permalink

Oh, no way. Pathfinder is crunchy, and Altronus most people emphatically are not.

The game I played in before this one - Skulls & Shackles with a bunch of strangers from the college I go to - we got wizard diff'd in the fifth book and the whole party wiped. My crew might make it look easy, but most tables struggle with the printed APs.

Then how can you say that real life is harder than games are??

Do you just mean that games are easy for you? Choryon, you moron, that's called being skilled.
