    EZ Pass! Still under 10 for me :D Alternatively, on the weekends you can just park on the street in some parts of JC for free and take the PATH in. Even cheaper!

    I am VERY interested in a Call of Cthulhu game, though my ability to play is somewhat dependent on what day the game will happen. I've played through a few of the mini-adventures in a couple of the books, and gone all the way through Horror on the Orient Express (well, I personally went through three characters, and I think there was only one survivor by the end of it...but we "made" it!), so I've got some experience with the game.

    Yeah if there's one thing I've learned from playing CoC, it's "don't get attached."

    Cool, so looks like we have enough interest to get a group going. Any thoughts on what day you guys would like to do this on? I know @nexuscrawler and @tapeslinger live kinda far away, and tapeslinger has issues with Saturdays. Maybe Sunday afternoons into early evening? We could also rotate where the game is being hosted, if that would be easier.

    I am more than willing to have new players show up, pen and paper RPGs aren't as esoteric as you'd think.

    They're basically adult make-believe where you pretend you're Gandalf and go kill orcs. Or in the case of Call of Cthulhu, you pretend you're a 1920s private eye and get eaten by tentacled monsters.

    Don't even have to be a private eye in Cthulhu! I know one dude who played a candy store owner nicknamed "Bubblegum" who ended up trapped for eternity dancing to the endless trilling of Azathoth's idiot flute in a place lost to time and space. These things just happen sometimes.

    Or a conservator who read an old book from an Egyptian collection that arrived in his museum during the restoration and cataloging process and has since been stalked by a tall swarthy man who looks a lot like a pharaoh from the old kingdom dynasties the collection is from... but that's just crazy, right?

    I think i'm going to get checked out by an Asthma Specialist. I think I may have exercise induced asthma. I wonder if all this time all it may have taken was an inhaler or some medicine to make a huge change in the way I live my life. Even when I was in my top physical shape, I used to be huffing wind at a quarter mile. It'd be nice to be able to exercise without feeling like my lungs and throat are aflame.

    For almost an hour after a jog every time I breath in too deeply I start coughing.

    If you're "huffing wind" at a 1/4 mile, feeling you want to die, slow down. Seriously. You're running too fast. You should be able to talk or sing while running fairly comfortably. Eventually your lungs will get used to it, and you'll gradually up your speed.

    Run slowly.

    I used to go to dinosaur BBQ up in Rochester all the time back when the lady was in college.

    4 years later and I've yet to visit the one in nyc. I must remedy this soon.

    Not really going fast. Honestly I think it's a thing.
    And like I said, it's happened my whole life. Even when I used to run 8 miles a day back in high school for 2 seasons for wrestling, and I was actually in shape.

    and when we fought the elder god they all got devoured on the first round of combat so it was just me, hobo with a shotgun vs the elder god

    and i shot it in its stupid face until it died

    These things can also happen in CoC. Or ya know, you can just get killed by a cursed bed or something.

    We built and installed our entertainment center yesterday. It took us like 8 hours because we had no idea how to put Ikea furniture together, and then ran into issues like our floor is not level. It got done though, and now we can unpack more boxes!

    So after being a poor flakey hermit the last year or two I'd like to start hanging out with all of your lovely faces on occasion again! If you'll have me.

    I have never played CoC and will likely eat it on turn two, but from my understanding that is sort of the point anyway.
