My friends and I are gonna start playing a campaign soon in 2e. I've played a fair bit of D and D but never Pathfinder.

We're gonna be level 3 and I was just wondering if people had suggestions for the most fun class to be? As a player, I need to have magic so any purely or mostly martial classes aren't my thing (although I could be tempted by something like an artificer.)

I've been looking at Kineticist and Oracle currently, but I'd love to hear from more experienced players.

Hint 1: It's not in English. Hint 2: I'm not using pronouns for the beauty for a reason.

Have fun

In case anyone needs clues

I doubt I'm the first person to think of this.

Have fun

Sorry for the long post and the florid prose, I originally wrote this for my blog but I thought people here might enjoy it.

On Friday night, my friends and I sang through most of the soundtrack for Les Mis using a single YouTube video which had all of the songs with colour coding for every single character (RIP to whoever edited that, your sacrifice is appreciated).

I'm writing this not merely to brag but also to encourage everyone else to try this because it was incredibly enjoyable. I'm a big fan of karaoke anyway, but adding in the continuity of all the songs being from the same show as well as the chance for amateur theatrics heightened the pleasure tenfold.

I invited fifteen people, of whom six came (one of whom left before we began singing.) We started with I Dreamed A Dream because more than one person wanted to sing it and not everyone had arrived yet.

After that, and with all the guests in place, we began at The Chain Gang and went more-or-less through to the end. I'd estimate we skipped five songs, mostly either the battles because there was very little singing or some of the soppier ballads because they drag a bit. We ended up singing I Dreamed A Dream, On My Own, Master of the House, One Day More and Javert's suicide twice either because people wanted to try different parts or because they were too much fun.

Too much fun is how I'd describe the whole night. I did get a bit drunk, but even beyond that, it was just incredibly enjoyable to put my all into these songs, surrounded by my friends, adding in the occasional quip or fun bit of physical theatre (my mates from my improv troupe had a blast recreating the cart stuck in mud scene using only our bodies).

I think Les Mis is a great vehicle for this activity because it's such high-octane cheesy melodrama that even the side characters have a lot of personality. Maybe my favourite part to play was the random customer who Fantine rejects; he's such an entitled, venomous prick that it was brilliant to sing his ninety seconds. On top of this, it means having multiple people join in on the group numbers is incredibly moving. You really feel part of something, even if that something is just a noise complaint in the making.

A lot of people have expressed a wish that people behind the scenes had recorded footage of Carol Ann Ford going into a regeneration in case something happens to her before the show comes back.

If you had one day of shooting with her in front if a green screen what would you have the actress say?

I'd go for

"Yes."

"No."

"It's me. I escaped."

"Ow! Oh no, I'm regenerating!"

"I can't believe the Abzorbaloff was the War Minister all along."

My boyfriend is Korean; I asked him if he'd seen Knives Out, he said yes and proceeded to describe a completely different film.

The plot he described was about a writer who'd just finished a book and translators from all over the world were called to translate it. However, someone's murdered (he couldn't remember if it was the writer or one of the translators) and a detective has to try and solve a case where no one speaks the same language.

He couldn't remember a year or if it was a Korean film or in English.

(I think this is also quite a good idea for a plot, so if no one comes up with anything, copyright my boyfriend.)

Should be fun

Pretty simple

Hint: this one uses some slang

I have a 20 quid note in my wallet. Everyone pitch in, we can probably sway them with, like, two hundred.

This is easy
