Start of #Exalted buffer: Thu Jun 18 18:14:12 2009 03[09:30:15] * Now talking in #Exalted [15:05:30] Oh, yeah, if Eilenia and Paera wanted to talk would you guys be up for doing that before Youkai? I need to do something to keep me occupied so I don't pass out [15:05:45] Sleeping three or four hours a night for the last few days is catching up with me [15:06:04] Sure, I guess, but I need to run to the store first. [15:06:11] Sure [15:06:26] You gonna be okay, Cha? [15:08:21] How'd game go last night? [15:08:39] Yeah, probably. I'm just tired [15:08:48] * Demota nods [15:09:04] It went alright. Logs are up at... [15:09:10] http://demota.sandwich.net/rpg/ednd/odal [15:09:21] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [15:09:53] Summed up, we got the food back to Odal's Fen after taking a teleport circle into the tower where Elena dtudied [15:10:46] Eve seemed interested in Elena's teacher, Ialin Anyss. [15:11:15] Elena got a grade for her special assignment, "Acceptable" [15:11:46] After, we took the food to Odal's Fen with Tenser's Floating Discs, and we visited Paera's home. [15:12:11] A celebration was going to start that evening, though Anyss was headed back to the tower. [15:12:13] So we went back, eh? [15:12:16] Yeah [15:12:23] But then we heard big nosies outside [15:12:31] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/471220/beret-bow-chibi-daiyousei-easel-eyes_closed-fang-h Hahaha, I like the comment [15:12:47] And Anyss was back, with the students, and they were firing fireworks like all awesome wizards [15:13:45] Paera's mom had a tiny clockwork Quadrone toy [15:14:25] We learned about a temple to the north of Harborhead where priests if Ioun might know about ways to deal with the Eye of Vecna [15:15:31] It was actually a city that housed a temple. [15:15:57] * Eilenia nods [15:23:25] "hey iranians! we like you! check yes or no if you like me too! [15:23:25] *"yes" wins with a mysterious 99% margin*" [15:32:03] http://content.turbine.com/pages/www.ddo.com/beta_signup/index.php?utm_source=ddo_com [15:34:51] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/470889/alice_margatroid-chen-cirno-ex_keine-flandre_scarl Hahaha, I like the Cirnobot [15:35:28] Okay back [15:35:32] Re [15:35:56] Hahaha. The Cirnobot's great [15:38:29] I also like that the Letty Whiterock robot is far [15:38:31] Er,f at [15:38:55] Yeah [15:39:17] I like that Shanghai is a Funnel. [15:42:13] hee [15:45:42] * Eilenia pokes Rusty. [15:46:52] yes? [15:47:59] Odal interlud ething. Does that seem like something Xan might be up for? [15:48:08] Also, I think Odal's moving to mondays [15:51:02] * Darkheart is now known as Awayheart [15:55:57] * Yon is now known as Paera [15:56:21] What about dem's game? [15:56:52] And whats the interlude thing? we decide yet? [15:57:08] Mr.Mousavi & Mr.Karoubi ask supporters NOT to attend Friday prayers (which is being delivered by supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei) [15:57:17] Decide on what? [15:57:27] On what the interlude game's going to be [15:57:37] ... oH! That's not what we meant by INterlude [15:57:46] I think Charles wants to jump right into the next season or something [15:58:00] I can do that [15:58:09] Yeah, unless people really want the orc game. [15:58:21] The "interlude" we're talking about, right now, in #ODal, is us during the coming home party [16:00:02] As for my game, did you mean Monday or today? [16:00:14] I meant monday [16:00:18] nseonarn [16:00:41] Aah [16:00:54] I'm not sure. I may put it on hold, or try to run it on Friday [16:01:09] You know I can't do fridays [16:01:21] * Eilenia nods [16:02:11] But it's fine if you've got a big enough group or can recruit someone else [16:02:20] nah [16:02:41] I might put it on hold, since Eberron'll be starting soon. [16:02:49] ... though I'm not sure what day Eberron'll be running [16:03:07] I can play Monday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. [16:04:02] Monday-Thursday as usual for me [16:04:02] So I'm confused, what day is Youkai switching to then? [16:04:12] Weekends are just way too hectic for me to cite availability [16:04:40] I'm not sure. :/ [16:04:50] It' shard to figure out scheduling because it's so hard to get everyone here together at the same time [16:05:25] I was thinking of alternating Fridays to go with charles' work schedule [16:05:30] But then ... eugh. [16:05:40] Maybe I should just put that on hold too for a couple months, but that'd suck [16:06:30] * Awayheart is now known as Darkheart [16:12:13] Hahahahaha holy shit I'm laughing so hard at the grognards.txt thread. [16:12:24] Oh? [16:12:26] I love 'the unoptimal character'. [16:12:51] The level 20 milk maid? [16:13:28] (apparently all clerics are strong. Could have fooled me, that's Paera's dump stat. :V ) [16:13:39] hahaha [16:17:37] Ahahahahahhahha, mathmateically determining if rape or murder is worse. [16:17:55] Hahahahahahh [16:21:37] New episode of Haruhi out, unfortunately so far there's just a low quality rip. Has the new opening, though (I am surprised by the lack of dancing) [16:21:47] aw [16:21:55] What about a new ED? :( [16:22:23] That was already in the first ep of the new season. [16:22:44] ooh [16:24:58] http://slangdesign.com/GURPS.jpg Ahahahaha [16:25:09] hahahaha [16:25:33] going to a friend's house. Be back later. [16:25:37] Later Rusty [16:25:39] Have fun [16:26:31] If Elena scares Paera enough is Paera going to turn human? :| [16:26:39] Hahahaha [16:32:26] And now I'm reading a guy who thinks that D&D should be like Paranoia at least in regards to what players know. [16:32:35] Oh? [16:33:18] IF THE PLAYERS KNOW THE RULES, THEN THE DM IS SUBSERVIENT TO THE PLAYERS. THE PLAYERS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO KNOW WHAT THE DM KNOWS ABOUT THE RULES [16:33:49] hahahahahhaa [16:34:08] Clearly D&D was based on Machivelli or Sun tzu. :| [16:34:29] Hahahaha [16:48:51] Do you figure knowledge of the basic three planes is commonplace? Like, the Feywild being a vibrant reflection of the World. [16:50:51] Yeah, I think so. In folklore, at least, since people can wander into them relatively easily [16:50:54] ... acutally, given the Player/GM divide, I can juts check the PHB [16:53:48] Shoot. Charles, do you have a d20? [16:54:13] Yeah [16:54:31] Roll it plus 13? [16:56:10] 33 [16:56:28] Lucky first roll for the d20 that came with the star wars minis starter set. :| [16:56:49] Haha [16:57:00] I wanted that set. Though I didn't super want it. [16:57:03] Is it pretty much d20? [16:57:21] I would have really liked if " Imagine a deformed purple giant. And one of its eyes is swollen and distorted and unnatural." was just a total non-sequitor from Eilenia. :V [16:57:31] hahaha [16:57:32] Yeah, it's reasonably close to the D&DM rules [16:57:48] * Eilenia nods [16:57:52] More of a focus on ranged fighting? [16:58:18] Yeah, except with the jedi [16:58:32] I'm assuming they get a higher defense versus blasts or something? [16:58:59] Yeah, and a focus on close combat, I think [17:03:54] Charles: I was basically trying to roll an Arcana check to see if Elena knew what Fomorians were the reflections of. [17:03:59] 30+ brings up "Titans" [17:04:25] Considering the titans were the ancient enemies of the gods, I guess that makes them extra spooky for Paera [17:04:33] * Charles nods [17:04:57] From Eilenia's perspective, the World is probably a reflection of the Feywild, with the Titans being copies of the Fomorians. :| [17:05:32] Yeah, I just figure she's explaining it in terms Paera can understand. :| [17:07:45] Huh, that's kinda cool. One of the new weapons in Argos Naval Yard is a superheavy, slower than light Tarka cruiser that was impossible to adapt to FTL travel. So the Tarkas build a FTL Dreadnought as a carrier for it. :V [17:08:40] Ahahahahhaahhahahahahahahhaahhaaaa [17:08:42] Awesome. [17:11:21] It kind of reminds me of the end of Gurren Lagann [17:11:56] Oh wow [17:12:19] The Zuul get a dreadnought that lets them scavenge ships post-combat and build new ships in deep space to augment their fleet [17:12:55] Wow [17:13:57] Huh. Morrigi get ships that let them set up colony and asteroid traps [17:14:43] :argh: [17:14:52] Do Hivers get any new Gates? [17:16:48] Nope. Humans and Hivers don't get any unique ships [17:17:42] Nyoro~n [17:18:27] I forget, do Gnomes trance? [17:18:38] Propaganda ships are interesting. When stationed by your worlds, they raise civilian morale. Stationed at enemy worlds, they can lower enemy morale and incite revolts, flipping a world over to you, presumably [17:18:44] Nope, pretty sure they don't [17:22:21] Oh, man. I can't find any results for graviton particle beam or main deflector dish on youtube [17:22:24] Did they take the songs down? [17:23:42] Ahahahahah "Play a Yukkuri if you want to: -take it easy" [17:24:47] hahahh [17:25:06] Hahahaha [17:25:28] Dem: I'm pretty sure the song is SS Make Shit Up [17:25:41] Try searching for Banned on Vulcan, too. That's the album [17:25:53] Found [17:27:36] http://zip.4chan.org/tg/src/1245373994647.jpg hahahah [17:31:19] Oh, nice. They have support dreadnoughts now [17:31:29] They act as refineries and repair ships [17:34:54] Huh. That sounds cool [17:35:06] I wonder if you can do things like refine wrecked ships for fuel [17:35:59] That'd be interesting, though I think that's sorta unnecessary. Like, unless a fleet is out of fuel at a hostile world [17:36:32] Denial of resources to the enemy, I guess [17:36:55] * Charles nods [17:37:13] WEll, wrecked ships get added to the system as resources, and refining removes resources from the system [17:37:33] So I guess by refining in an enemy system, you're denying the enemy those resources from the wrecked ships [17:37:45] True [17:45:58] Yon: A miserable pile of secrets [17:47:36] Hahaha [17:55:55] Ahahah, this is the best introductory line. "I'm very interested in the topic and personally have a view of the hobby as a shamanistic pursuit. That conception drives my GMing." [17:56:13] Oh man [17:56:56] Is that the mask guy? [17:57:38] It's an entirely different post but I suppose it's possible? [18:08:48] Anything else we can do here? [18:10:43] I'm kinda getting a little tired, honestly, and running out of stuff to say. [18:10:52] Alright [18:10:56] You feeling awake enough for Youkai? [18:11:14] #Youkai's open [18:11:23] Sure. [18:11:45] It's not so much that I'm sleepy as that I'm tired of being Paera for now. [18:12:24] Ahahahaha [18:12:25] What's missing? Specific (and sometimes even generic) rules to cover any non-combat situation. If you're on the battle grid, and you're using one of your power card attacks, you're well covered. However, some other situations that might come up in a role-playing game; such as: [18:12:25] Climbing, Digging, Hiking, Holding Your Breath (and Suffocation), Jumping, Lifting and Moving Things, Running, Swimming, Flying, Throwing, Catching, Influencing NPCs, Fright Checks, Mounted Combat, Flying Combat, Hit Locations, Striking At Weapons, Unarmed Combat, Starvation and Dehydration, Sleeping (and Missed Sleep), Acid, Cold, Falling, Fire, Seasickness, Aging ... not really covered in the depth you find in almost any other RPG [18:12:53] hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha [18:12:58] OH NO, 4E DOES NOT HAVE SPECIFIC DETAILED RULES FOR SEASICKNESS. [18:13:21] I like how people keep saying that 4e kills imagination [18:13:26] I have been playing wrong by not rolling on a table to see if I puke or not. :( [18:13:36] * Paera is now known as Yon [18:13:39] * Eilenia is now known as Demota End of #Exalted buffer Thu Jun 18 18:14:12 2009
