Start of #Exalted buffer: Thu Jan 28 09:38:05 2010 [17:08:16] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [17:09:08] Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey [17:09:15] * Demota is now known as Aurora [17:09:15] woot woot [17:09:23] Hey you guys! [17:09:24] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [17:09:33] Launching Gametable [17:09:41] One sec [17:09:48] Before everyone gets on GT [17:09:49] IT'S NOW OR NEVER [17:09:51] WE CAN'T WAIT [17:10:02] No one else is in character yet :. [17:10:04] :/ [17:10:28] Why would I be in character already? [17:11:04] You shouldn't. Dem is just being impatient [17:11:06] Anyway [17:11:33] EVERYONE IN SHARN!: Open the gametable.bat file in notepad, and replace the text in there with this: java -Xms32m -Xmx1024m -jar Gametable.jar [17:12:34] I'll try but I've had limited success getting the bat to work in the first place [17:12:56] Are you on a mac? [17:14:18] I'd rather light myself on fire than use a mac. [17:14:22] Also, I need everyone to download this: http://exaltedsharn.wikidot.com/local--files/start/Dungeon %20Tiles.zip [17:14:36] And unzip it in the underlay folder in your gametable directory [17:14:40] * NovaSeaker hugs Yon [17:16:58] Also I'm kind of out of it tonight so I'm not sure how much use I'll be :\ [17:17:32] Damn [17:17:45] Is anyone else even here? [17:17:56] Missing rusty [17:17:57] I'm here. [17:18:06] IMing DH [17:18:10] Checking Steam for Rusty [17:18:46] OH FFFFF [17:19:26] Apparently the .bat is working but I have to leave the stupid dos window open or GT will close. :psyduck: [17:19:30] He's not on Steam. Should I gext it? [17:19:31] Rusty's incoming [17:19:35] kk [17:19:42] And that's the whole group, right? [17:19:43] GT up? [17:19:52] Upscroll, DH [17:19:57] I'm hoesting, yeah, but follow Nova's instructions [17:20:29] DH, you hear about the drivethru thing, yeah? [17:20:50] This the 20 for HUGE CACHE OF STUFF thing? [17:20:59] Yep. [17:23:03] * Darkheart is now known as Mauz [17:24:23] Whoop. People found counterfeit perfumes contained urine. [17:24:25] Who knew? [17:28:45] * Rusty (rustangel@ip-115-213.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [17:28:46] OH SHIT [17:28:51] CHaracter Builder works! [17:28:54] And has been updated! [17:28:55] * Rusty is now known as Phanos [17:28:58] Hey Rusty [17:28:58] SHIIIIIIIIII [17:29:24] http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=78023&SRC=haiti This is the thing I was mentioned earlier today. [17:29:38] Donate $20 to the Haiti relief effort, and they'll match it. Then give you about $1,500 in RPG product. [17:30:15] Hey rusty [17:31:37] Alright, everyone lemme know when they've done that prep stuff [17:31:46] Did you tell Rusty the prep stuff? [17:32:28] Yeah [17:32:41] He won't be able to do GT today, on a friend's puter [17:32:52] Okay [17:34:27] He's downloadin now,a ctually [17:34:28] Okay [17:34:34] DH, Yon, did you do that stuff? [17:35:01] On, Yon, if you didn't already, delete the old dungeon tiles folder before unzipping the new one [17:36:30] I did it [17:36:38] * Yon is now known as Marianysa [17:37:28] Oh wow [17:37:34] RC7 lets you save pogs [17:37:43] with all their attributes and stuff [17:37:47] Huh [17:38:18] Not sure how you *load* them, but hey [17:38:50] Huh. [17:38:57] THe new character builder launches way faster [17:44:50] Oh just to be clear [17:45:03] you guy's aren't so much in danger of dying from starvation [17:45:18] it's just you have to ration, so you're always left hungry [17:45:48] Mauz is being Mauz, so there you go. [17:45:49] Ahahahah [17:45:49] Avengers are supposed to be a divine Batman. You know, like how Batman fights with giant swords/hammers and wields them extremely accurately but only if he happens to be standing next to the one enemy he has singled out to punish. [17:45:54] I liked how in that one comic, Batman prayed to his god and then teleported right next to the Joker. [17:46:15] hahhaha [17:46:23] Oh, Nova, did you hear about a new D&D setting? [17:46:29] They're breaking their 1 per year rule for this one. [17:46:32] It's launching October [17:46:35] Ahahahahahahah [17:46:41] Also, Mari's magic items that protect people from environs are preventing heat stroke and such. But it's still really hot [17:46:49] Oh yeah? [17:48:08] Gamma World. [17:48:11] http://www.amazon.com/Gamma-World-Roleplaying-Game-Setting/dp/0786955082/ [17:49:43] h...huh [17:49:54] So it's.... modern Dark Sun? [17:51:22] Well, if you wanna look at it that way. [17:51:26] FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF [17:52:37] Wasn't Gamma World a third party setting? [17:54:48] I'm trying to look it up, but my browser is bogged down as hell [18:00:56] Okay, I was right [18:01:03] It's an old TSR product [18:01:15] So if by "Third party", you mean "TSR and not WotC", yeah [18:05:48] That's not what I meant [18:05:54] Huh [18:06:06] So is Gamma World really modern? [18:06:21] With guns and stuff? Or was it just "post-apocalyptic DnD"? [18:07:53] It's fantasy, but with sci-fi explanations for things [18:07:59] ah [18:08:02] And treatments [18:08:07] Races and magical creatures are mutants, for example. [18:08:13] ANd magic is psychic powers [18:08:21] ah [18:08:23] And magic items are really pre-world war 4 tech that still works [18:08:23] weir [18:08:32] so... swords? [18:08:32] So it's a heavily reskinned fantasy [18:08:37] Yeah. I think so. [18:08:52] Sort of like how Warhamemr 40k is a fantasy setting, but it's reskinned with sci-fi stuff [18:12:37] Ah [18:13:14] If anyone's curious, I can tell you what I'm trying to get at about giant culture [18:13:42] Sure! [18:14:29] In my Eberron, Primordials aren't creatures that existed at the dawn of time. [18:14:46] Primordials are giants who've managed to ascend [18:15:30] Not every giant in the height of their civilization was a primordial [18:15:56] But all of them knew more about their own potential, and were closer to it, being Titans and such [18:17:11] That's why it took the entire army of Argonessen to wipe out giant civilization, because they had managed to become a race capable of attaining Overlord-level power. [18:17:55] It's also why the reality of Xen'drik also had to be shattered, because the primordials were in essence the embodiment of parts of nature or reality. [18:19:49] * Aurora nods [18:24:47] Wasn't it the giants who were all "Grr, magic sucks" so we all hid our magic shit? [18:26:13] Oh yeah, the Rusheme` are suspicious of magic [18:26:35] But those are the current day ones, and that's just their tribes, who distrust arcane stuff [18:27:07] Mostly because they seem to be spirit worshipers, a mix of primal and divine [18:27:26] And probably blame arcane stuff for all of Xen'driks ills... which isn't too far from the truth [18:31:32] BTW, update positions on GT [18:32:29] Staying, as susual, 2 spaces behind the tank [18:33:24] Wow, those tiles lag my GT something fierce. :( [18:33:48] Man, that was a disappointing hole in AC2's AI [18:34:18] I just dozed five guards with the poison, and the crowd around them didn't really react even as the guards started spinning around and cutting people down [18:35:02] Aw. [18:35:06] So my suggestion didn't help much? [18:35:16] Well, they were paying attention to the guards [18:35:25] Just not running away when they started getting murdered [18:36:42] Well, they're Italians, not cowards [18:37:02] Italians have all the self-preservation instints as lemmings, then. [18:37:19] It's amazing Columbus got to the new world without walking off his ship to look at a particularly interesting wave [18:37:50] Hahahah, someone posted a 'Batman is every class' rant, and this got posted in response, with regard to Batman being a bard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4LtC4D2-4k#t=4m44s [18:38:23] Hahhah [18:38:28] Yon: Did you edit the bat file? :( [18:38:53] Yes. [18:39:18] I dunno why it's lagging then... :/ [18:39:29] Dammit, they're so pretty :( [18:40:30] Alright [18:40:31] So [18:40:58] You guys are going down the hole, or....? [18:41:01] Sure! [18:41:18] If an adventurer sees a hole, her duty is to thrust into it [18:41:25] ...uh huh [18:41:37] Well go on then, go down it [18:41:56] Well, I don't wanna like... climb 10 stories [18:45:09] Well alright then [18:45:12] I can summon a lift. [18:45:15] make with the lift and go [18:45:20] Cool [18:47:26] Oh uh, just in case I wasn't clear [18:47:40] This *isn't* Cavaret Libiel Shakaroz [18:47:47] Yeah [18:47:59] We're searching this place for clues to wher eit is, yeah? [18:48:05] Yeah [18:48:52] When you hired him, Par said he hadn't ever heard of it, but knew it sounded like something from the "Furant" era of giant civilization. So he brought you to where he knew the furant-era ruins were. These are one of them [18:52:08] * Aurora nods [18:52:12] I assume he can read giant? [18:52:36] Nope [18:52:48] .... D: [18:53:10] He can pronounce the written letters, and knows a few key words, but he can't read a passage [18:53:33] * Aurora nods [18:53:37] He has a guidebook with stuff like "Etk = East" and stuff [18:53:39] Alright, good enough. [18:53:57] Alright [18:54:15] Rusty, I wish you would read rituals fully before declarign your using them [18:54:27] The disc can't hold that much weight [18:54:30] Tenser's Lift is too big to fit in that hole [18:54:54] :( [18:54:58] Can he make it smaller? [18:55:10] No, that's Floating Disc in 3e [18:55:15] the weight thing [18:55:44] And I'll let you use it here, but c'mon man. First you try to shadow passage everywhere without looking for shadow crossings and now this [18:55:44] ah [18:56:04] But whatever [18:56:21] What will Rusty's punishment be? :( [18:56:33] Aw man, I'm sorry. I figured size was somewhta manupulable. [18:57:06] But whatever. I'm sort of out of the loop when it comes to games these days. [18:57:13] :( [18:57:42] I've just been really busy with work. Not meaning to drop the ball here. [18:57:58] * NovaSeaker nods. [18:58:06] How's teachin going? [19:00:01] Sort of getting into a groove and finding more of a center now. [19:00:16] cool [19:00:32] Man, you guys really think Johen would murder Shezna in cold blood? [19:00:34] It just occupies so much time.. [19:02:37] Man, Assassin's Creed 2 has the best renaissance carriage chase sequence I've ever seen [19:02:48] And I have a feeling that'd be true even if I'd ever seen one before [19:03:01] hahah [19:03:57] Mari thinks he would! [19:05:22] Like, Ezio and Leonardo di Vinci are escaping from Borgia thugs, and Ezio has the reins of the carriage, and you have to try and get the guys on top off before they get to the front and force Ezio to throw them off manually, taking away from steering time. And you can knock guys off by scraping them off with obstructions and low-hanging branches, or by swerving [19:05:31] And you need to keep from tipping the carriage with sharp turns [19:05:38] oooh [19:13:26] http://img.waffleimages.com/3008a2265d43a39275e4e168fb465b6fb0cefd89/21950_229103842069_229102697069_3 031043_1607676_n.jpg [19:13:33] For added hilarity check out the fans. [19:13:33] Ed Greenwood :monocle: [19:14:50] so is everyone agreed with Johen and Shezna staying behind? [19:14:54] Or is there still more debate? [19:15:21] I though tthere was more debate. [19:19:51] Can anyone explain to me why everyone is acting like the only option is for two people to stay behind? [19:20:03] Because they can't fit on the lift otherwise [19:20:06] Not everyone has to use the lift. [19:20:34] Pard was expecting to climb down, Mari has no problem doing so. [19:28:52] I would just like to note, I'm really not sure why it's so crazy that Mari would suspect Johen would off Shezna if he was left with her, given how he was in favor of killing her when they originally took her prisoner. >_> [19:29:55] Because he'd have to answer to everyone once you returned and already got punched in the face for expressing his opinion in words. [19:30:25] I think it is kinda crazy to think that he'd murder her just to spite you and... then run away? Into the wilds of Xen'drik alone? [19:31:56] Yeah, that's only if he had a deathwish. [19:32:04] Who said it had anything to do with spite? And it's not like we have any idea what resources the guy who just conveniently 'happened' to join us and then acted like a suspicious motherfucker ever since. [19:32:44] Not to mention the 'friendly fire' [19:33:06] Was that something he did what Cha was playing him? [19:33:18] I don't think so. [19:33:43] He was suspicious before, but mostly someone you could trust in a professional fashion. [19:34:29] I don't think he's stopped being professional. I mean, the feather fall thing looks pretty bad, but you can't blame the guy. [19:34:55] Yeah, you can't. [19:35:08] I mean, you can target someone besides yourself with Feather Fall, but then he'd be killing himself doing it. [19:35:13] And Loharath he ain't [19:35:21] He was kinda taunting us during that, though. [19:35:31] No, he saluted you in farewell [19:35:36] That's taunting. [19:35:58] Only if you're predisposed to see everything he does in a negative light. [19:36:46] What would've been more professional? Expressing unfortunate partings and saluting you for all your efforst thusfar, or just casting it and leaving everyone behind without a word? [19:37:15] I don't know. [19:37:31] * RowynAway (rowyn2001@66.201.146.49) has joined #Exalted [19:37:48] * RowynAway is now known as Rowyn [19:37:52] Maybe something indicating that he hopes we can find a way. I dunno. [19:39:10] Maybe that wouda been *nice*, but isn't necessary for him to be professional [19:39:42] I dunno. [19:41:18] Being nice and being professional tend to cross over a lot [19:41:25] Especially in adventuring [19:42:01] Hey Rowyn [19:43:37] Howdy [19:43:45] I understand there was some Carcassonne earlier [19:44:04] Being sensitive: Not one of Mari's strong points. :V [19:44:24] There was [19:44:29] How did you know? :O [19:44:37] haha [19:45:04] Nah, Mari didn't say anything too insensitive [19:45:09] Because I saw that you guys were talking about it just before I left for work [19:45:13] oh, right [19:45:18] I won. Whoo. Farmers. [19:45:38] Awesome. [19:45:45] So you're finally getting farmers? [19:45:57] A little, yeah [19:47:09] They are pretty complicated at first but they make sense the more you play it. [19:48:26] Any alcoves? [19:49:34] passive perception? [19:49:55] Mine's 26 [19:50:01] I'll point out handholds [19:50:11] I remmeber something about... shelves? [19:50:11] 17. [19:50:24] 21 [19:50:30] heading out for the night. Later doods [19:50:33] Night AE [19:50:37] * Alt-Eisen (neorook@cpe-76-175-9-161.socal.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [19:51:36] Aurora and Phanos think they see shadows further below, maybe a tunnel leading away from the magma [19:52:24] Wouldn't just being in proximity to the magma hurt us because of the heat convection? [19:52:47] You've got Mari's environmental protection magic charms [19:53:08] But you're really uncomfortably hot even with them [19:53:35] Like, something that's hot enough for you to feel through those charms is really hot. [19:59:59] Tenser actually traveled to Earth, and played some Super Mario Brothers [20:00:34] ... seriosuly? [20:00:38] Old D&D was weird [20:00:50] No, not seriously :P [20:01:11] I suggest everyone emote their escaping before the third blink :P [20:01:11] It's hard to tell sometimes. [20:01:24] Otherwise you'll kill their character? [20:01:41] I mean, Elminster has a space base where he can go to Earth and talk to RA Salvatore and Ed Greenwood. D: [20:01:44] And that was canon [20:02:29] Used Armathor's step. [20:02:38] OFF. [20:02:39] Bah. [20:05:34] Did he do the 'sliding down the wall with your claws' thing? :D [20:06:22] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/605502/ awww [20:06:44] Jesus FUCKING CHRIST. This one part of Assassin's Creed is SO obnoxious [20:07:11] You've got to do precision jumping and climbing under a time limit that's seriously about four seconds too short to actually get it done [20:07:32] * NovaSeaker eyes Yon. "That's a wolverine reference isn't it?" [20:07:44] Would I do that? [20:07:58] * NovaSeaker eye's narrow. [20:08:21] Maybe I'm tired, but I'm imagining Nova just making fun of Asians with that emote. :( [20:08:27] http://nerfnow.com/comic/230 *snerks* [20:09:18] .... [20:09:37] Is it getting late for everyone? [20:09:39] Wanna stop? [20:09:47] I can keep going [20:09:58] Don't take being tired as a disinterest in the game. :( [20:10:33] I havta admit that I just wanted time to do the cave dungeon tile sets >_>; [20:11:06] ooh [20:12:04] I can continue. [20:12:08] ... Okay. [20:12:11] THat's fair. <_< [20:12:26] Yeah, that's fair [20:12:30] Sorry I threw you for a loop directionally there. [20:12:36] heh, no problem [20:13:02] I like when you guys do something unexpected. Keeps me on my toes. [20:13:12] When we do something unexpected, huh? [20:13:27] Unexpected and somewhat logical, yes. [20:13:27] What would you do if Aurora were to start making out with Mari? [20:13:34] Watch. [20:14:27] I'm still waiting on Johen X Temper [20:14:47] hahahahaha [20:15:08] What would their couple name be? Jomper? Temhen? [20:15:58] Sorry Cha, big gay magic robots is kind of a Dragon Age thing. :| [20:17:21] Hey, after this, anyone wanna learn Dominion? [20:17:58] Yay, fun [20:18:48] cool [20:19:03] Next week... [20:19:05] Bulettes! [20:19:17] What's a Bulette? Is that, like, Bullet Bill's sister? [20:19:20] * Marianysa is now known as Yon [20:19:27] A bulette is a classic DnD monster. [20:19:32] It's basically a land shark. [20:19:48] http://draconusdictum.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/bulette.jpg [20:19:51] Oh. So don't accept any candygrams. :| [20:20:13] * Mauz is now known as Darkheart [20:20:54] Nope. :V [20:21:20] Also, Pardrengo knows that Bulettes are usually more than he can handle. [20:21:32] Well, he's not alone! [20:21:32] I wanna learn Dominion! [20:21:34] Cool. [20:21:42] But after seeing you guys in action, he's all ready to eat some landshark steaks tonight. [20:22:07] We just need to find a female landshard for Mauz and then we can do this non-violently. :| [20:22:14] hahahaahahahahaha [20:23:02] * Phanos is now known as LostInTangents [20:24:20] How are you guys feeling about the game? [20:24:37] Anything you want to see more of, less of? [20:26:29] Hmm, well, it seems like this is an odyssey [20:26:32] I like it. [20:26:51] haha [20:27:00] I like exploring new territory [20:27:33] I want... [20:27:47] More NPCs based on X-Men. [20:27:48] * Yon ducks [20:28:11] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/601025/ aww [20:28:30] hahaha [20:28:47] Well, you are in a giant ruin. I suppose a Cyclopes would be fitting. [20:29:06] (One that knows and has worked with Pardrengo, but they dislike each other) [20:29:20] So, no one wants to learn to play Dominion tonite? :{ [20:29:25] It's also a warlock and shoots Eldritch Blasts out of its eyes. [20:29:30] hahaha [20:29:56] Jesus H Christ, I had to consult a walkthrough for a jumping puzzle [20:30:02] Ugh [20:30:04] Also, there's a female pholarch living in that lava. [20:30:22] What kinda jumping puzzle? [20:30:24] (pholarchs are humanoid phoenix things) [20:30:24] What's a pholarch? [20:30:25] ooh [20:30:40] I had to get through this gate before time was up by jumping between these beams and pillars [20:30:43] Oh, oh, and Xev can be Professor X. [20:30:53] He's bald enough. :V [20:31:00] You just have to find him and cripple him. [20:31:02] And it was set up so there were two ways to get to the end, except one path was twice as long and more obvious [20:31:06] Who would I be? [20:31:18] Well you're not an NPC so I dunno [20:31:29] I see. [20:31:54] What game? [20:32:13] Nova's Eberron game, which is in need of players [20:33:37] Nova's Eberron game has a jumping puzzle? ;P [20:33:47] Oh.
