Start of #Exalted buffer: Mon Jul 27 21:56:23 2009 [16:07:09] Alright, get IC. I'm gonna try to start in 20 [16:08:10] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [16:08:14] Oh, Yon, did oyu see Divine Power? [16:08:19] * Eilenia is now known as Demota [16:08:24] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [16:08:24] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Eilenia [16:10:26] * Mechazawa is now known as Xan [16:14:00] * Yon is now known as Paera [16:14:02] No, I did not [16:16:06] Oh, okay. Lemme see if I can ge you the pdf [16:19:38] Oh wow, we're starting early [16:19:40] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [16:20:28] DCCing isn't gonna work, Dem [16:21:25] drat [16:22:16] Maybe not so early :/ [16:22:16] I suggested 20 mintues so I could get my classwork done since I'm picking my TESOL lessons back up [16:22:16] But the lesson plans are taking longer than I thought to put together [16:22:28] aah [16:24:07] ah, okay [16:24:28] So maybe another 10/15 past what I had said [16:29:29] no prob [16:30:27] Hey, Yon, do you remember if Al Ray from GCP was an okay player or not? He's looking for a Mage game and I can't remember a thing about him [16:32:26] I'm pretty sure he was mostly just really :downs: [16:32:34] Whoop, just finished my seventh TESOL unit worksheet [16:32:45] Finally 1/3 of the way done [16:32:53] Grats. [16:32:59] Nothing horribly offensive, but I'm pretty sure he was just mindblowingly dense. [16:33:02] * Eilenia nods. [16:33:35] Charles, what do you think? [16:33:52] He's a dude I don't know, and I don't like running games for dudes I don't know [16:34:06] Alright, told him it's full [16:35:05] I'm kind of uncomfortable with that. Like, I know 'I don't like running games for strangers' sounds dickish, but at the same time, now I'll feel bad if anyone else gets involved. :/ [16:36:06] It's okay. Other peoples' games wll be used as a filter to help you get used to people, probably [16:36:58] Yeah, it's more of an issue of lying to some poor dumb guy. :/ [16:37:10] Did he contact you looking for a mage game? [16:37:10] Oh. :( [16:37:14] Yeah. [16:37:21] Though he had one lined up at rpg.net already [16:37:25] He just wants to be in more games [16:37:53] Further clarified with this: [16:37:55] There might be space in the future, but the GM's just new with the new system right now, so he's trying to keep the number of players low-ish [16:38:07] So, leaves some wiggle room int he future [16:40:44] I actually thought up a concept for the game. I want to play a not very bright mage who doesn't know much about magic or anything at all but is really good with Matter. Also he's a giant mysoginist. :V [16:41:06] w... [16:41:07] wait [16:41:31] Yon is not only going to play a guy.... but a mysoginist. [16:41:38] Damn, not I really want to be in that game. [16:41:41] now* [16:41:47] I can't tell if you're making a reference to anyone or not. :( [16:42:23] Should I have added something about a sword obsession to make it less subtle? [16:42:33] Griever? [16:42:40] No Cha. [16:42:42] Oh [16:42:44] Ooooh [16:42:47] OOOOOOOOH. [16:42:48] ??? [16:42:57] hahahahahhaahahhaahah [16:43:25] (Is there a rote for not dying when you're killed? :V ) [16:43:38] :downsuicide: [16:44:02] * Adyen (senranda@bas1-unionville55-1177733259.dsl.bell.ca) has joined #Exalted [16:44:04] Oh man [16:44:21] If you played Shirou as a Moros, you could use death magic to make it so people don't die when they are killed. :V [16:44:22] Aahahahahahahahaha [16:44:39] Oh wait, you made that joke [16:44:42] I read 'rote' as 'emote' :( [16:44:47] Hahahaha... [16:45:01] Oh god... that's the best thing to see when I just log in. [16:45:07] haha [16:45:15] hahahahah [16:45:20] <- was just reading the F/SN LP. [16:45:28] heehee [16:46:09] Man, playing F/SN as a Mage campaign would be maybe the worst way to use the system and the setting. :V [16:46:26] As if F/SN isn't broken already [16:46:39] (Although clearly lesbian sex is an oblation used for getting magic. AND THAT IS THE ONLY REASON FOR IT TO EVER HAPPEN :nasudowns: ) [16:46:49] Er, for getting mana [16:47:36] Ya, but if you summoned Saber, you're basically invunerable to anything anyone can cast. [16:47:39] Look, if we're going to have a Nasu emote, it can't be based on :downs: [16:48:06] :nasubert: [16:48:15] It has to be based on :cthulhu: (for seafood :V) or :asperger: [16:48:26] Hahahah [16:48:37] Man, the :spergin: emote is my favorite backstory to an emote ever [16:48:54] What's that look like? [16:49:00] Oh, Adyen, do you remember much about Al Ray? [16:49:03] It's just a dude's head [16:49:03] What IS the backstory? [16:49:13] Err... the person? [16:49:22] YEah [16:49:23] Like, it comes from this handbook for people diagnosed with aspergers, where one of the first pages is about how people can't see that you have it by looking at you [16:49:37] Cause I can tell you a bit about Al Ray the cartoon character, but that's besides the fact, it seems. [16:49:43] And it shows three normal people standing there, going "I like chess!" "I'm a painter!" "I have aspergers!" or something like that [16:50:04] And goons took the face of the guy saying "I have aspergers!" and made it into the :spergin: emote [16:50:20] lol... Anyways, I think I remember that person. Nothing special, tho. [16:50:29] It just seems like such a dramatic subversion of the intent of the booklet. [16:50:51] Yeah [16:51:52] Why'd you ask anyways? [16:52:04] http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-HOI3/hearts-of-iron-3 Ohhh... that's... quite a lame trailer. [16:52:13] :down: [16:53:00] He asked me on AIM if i knew of any WoD games starting up [16:53:04] Er, MSN [16:53:08] So I didn't know how to respond [16:53:43] Ummm... When in doubt, don't answer and go talk to the person it's about? [16:56:37] Man, I'm not sure if it's possible to make an exciting trailer for the Paradox alternate history games, but if it is, it sure isn't done that way [16:59:51] >_> Here's an example. http://media.ps2.ign.com/media/669/669664/vid_2222820.html [17:00:02] Well, Civ4 had some cool trailers [17:00:11] Civ4 also has animations [17:00:46] That trailer reminds me of what Spiritarmor said: EVERYTHING can be done in HOT BLOOD!!!!!! [17:03:22] Civ4 also had amazing music which helps too. [17:03:43] Yeah [17:04:50] Oh, Charles? If I took Mentor, could I improve the rank later in the game? [17:06:01] Hahaha [17:06:03] The Missing Link posted: [17:06:03] My guildmate just had a forced name change for his shaman. It was Kfukudome, the name of a japanese outfielder for the Cubs. [17:06:03] Yeah don't look for any rhyme or reason to this. You use a name generated by the game and still be forced to change it if it happens to sound dirty. [17:06:03] Turns out one of the names the generator can come up with for dwarves is "Fagnix" [17:06:10] hahahahahah [17:06:41] Adyen: Yeah, I figure that'd just be your mentor getting broader reach and the like [17:06:53] Maybe your character helping him out to improve his influence, at times [17:07:03] Oh, Yon, get in #Odal [17:07:14] I finished my lesson so we're gonna start once I get a drink [17:07:37] Hmmm... In that case, I think I can just get Mentor 2 and Resource 1 to finish off my character. [17:08:59] Lithe? [17:09:13] Man, Lethe was femmy enough but I've never heard lithe used to refer to a dude. :V [17:09:34] haha [17:10:13] Oh man, so it turns out one of the MAJOR UPGRADES I'm paying an extra $40 a month rent for is...painting the balcony a slightly less ugly color. [17:10:43] Who cares. [17:10:51] I took it from one of the previous conversations or something [17:11:11] Oh, who cares for that too. [17:11:16] Wow. [17:11:49] Oh. I'd suggested Lethe before. I thought you'd had some intent for using Lithe. [17:12:01] Oh, just to make sure... but they're not painting the INSIDES of the balcony, right? [17:12:19] I just needed a shadow name. One better than goldfish. [17:12:34] Charon? [17:12:37] I dunno [17:12:49] And has something to do with forgetfulness. [17:13:22] No, just the part you can see from the street! [17:13:31] The part I can see is still painted puke green. [17:14:56] Well, that's not entirely fair. [17:15:01] Puke green and RUST. :V [17:15:14] Styx [17:15:24] The River Styx wipes memories clean [17:16:05] That's related to Lethe [17:16:25] It was lethe that wiped memories clean. Styx was just kind of there to be crossed [17:16:45] Ah. DnD got its mythical rivers cross then. [17:16:53] I fucking hate this rental agency, but at least they're not as bad as the one I rented my first apartment from. [17:16:59] The River Styx will make you lose levels cause it whipes your experiences away. [17:17:11] Also, I think if there was a mage named Styx, he'd have to have a rival mage named Whitesnake [17:17:13] I'm glad 4e doesn't have level loss anymore [17:17:24] haha [17:17:32] it doesn't? awwwww. [17:17:37] .... [17:17:42] * Eve_Kasnora peeeeeers at Adyen. [17:17:51] Grongard.txt joke, yes? [17:17:55] * Adyen is not a zombie in disguise. :p [17:18:09] heh [17:18:13] Where they once made me pay to replace a broken window. A window that only broke because they didn't maintain the building and the frame was ROTTING. [17:18:20] Not really. I just had a silly arena idea that involves monks and level loss. [17:18:21] geez [17:18:22] (zombies didn't drain levels) [17:20:24] Oh, hey, Thoth was a god of memory [17:20:32] That could work and wouldn't sound totally femme-y [17:21:08] oooh [17:21:10] Or, at least, he was a god of thought and intelligence, which was similar [17:21:21] Cool. I'll use that. [17:22:57] Oh, I'd like to put out there that so far, only Dem's put a loot wishlist in a referencable format for me [17:23:06] (All I did was close the fucking window, and the frame flexed in a way that wouldn't be POSSIBLE for non-rotten wood, causing the glass to shatter. THIS IS MY FAULT SOMEHOW.) [17:23:26] What's a loot wishlist? [17:23:31] I know at least some of you guys have stuff you want, so it'd be good to put it somewhere I would look up [17:23:37] A list of what items people want to get [17:23:40] I don't really have a wish*list* per say. [17:23:50] I just want something cool to happen to Eve's grandfather's sword. [17:23:58] Anything else I get is bonus. [17:24:12] Well, yeah. But if you, like, wrote a list of *what* you wanted, that'd be a huge help [17:24:33] I don't really know what I want [17:24:52] Or, hell, a list of things you're inclined towards, just so I don't have to realize "Hey, Eve hasn't got anything in two levels, and I need to flip through Adventurer's Vault RIGHT NOT to figure out something to make up for that" [17:25:04] Heh, okay [17:25:06] I think the prologue proved that I'm pretty terrible at keeping track of who got what [17:25:16] * Eve_Kasnora nds. [17:25:41] I'll give it a shot. I suffer from a similar problem to Nova as to having no idea what gear I want at all. [17:25:49] * Charles nods [17:25:49] So... where would a magical notebook that always open to the page where I want it to and never runs out of pages stand? [17:26:00] Oh, I was talking about D&D [17:26:12] My D&D game is running right now and all the players are here [17:26:19] rofl [17:26:32] In Mage terms, I'm guessing that'd be a imbued item using some level of Mind and Matter [17:26:38] Oh. I didn't see a "HEy, we're tstarting now" thing in this channel [17:27:10] I assumed people would be watching the channel the game's in for when the 'session start' thing was announced. :( [17:27:28] A mage discussion was going on at the time [17:27:31] I'll ask you later then. Going afk. [17:30:32] I'm kind of amused by the idea of Eve getting caught in an infinite loop of trying to draw the big bad out as he just sends more and more minions at the party ad infinitum. :V [17:30:55] Did exp get distributed last session? [17:31:39] Nah, but it worked out for a level 5 encounter [17:32:18] If you want XP, then you can have it, but I figured I was just gonna award levels at narrative milestones, so you'll probably level before 10 equal level encounters go by [17:32:25] * Eilenia nods [17:33:05] Well for me it's not so much that I have no idea, it's just that I wasn't particularly interested in mapping out my treasure for a 4e character. I used to map out character wealth by level for my 3e PCs because magic gear was so goddamn important in 3e [17:33:24] Okay [17:33:28] Well, it's not so much mapping it out as 'this item is cool and I would like it' [17:33:36] In 4e they're more like little perks, so I just kinda wanted to be suprised. But if it's a bigger help to Charles, I can make a list. [17:33:37] Xan sounds like Christopher Lambert when he talks. [17:33:46] .... [17:33:53] Like from Highlander? [17:33:57] Yep. Gonna go with that one. [17:34:08] I can see wanting to be suprised, [17:34:27] But, like, if you give me four or five options to pick between, you can be suprised *and* get something good [17:34:38] The what? [17:34:50] As opposed to being suprised that I had a loot-related panic attack and decided that your grandfather's sword was a flaming burst longsword. :V [17:35:20] :( [17:35:45] ...Hahahaha, when typing that out, I momentarily forgot you used bastard swords [17:35:52] Awesome, does he have the Conner laugh? [17:36:05] And I'm really amused by the idea of me freaking the fuck out and transmuting your sword to a slightly worse sword when awarding treasure [17:36:18] "BLAAAAGH EVE GETS A LONGSWORD PAERA GETS A GREATAXE" [17:37:13] Yes he does. [17:38:40] hahaha [17:39:10] You know, the first time I heard that laugh was in Mortal Kombat when Raiden does it just cause he's being played by Christopher Lambert. [17:39:18] Yep. [17:39:30] I hadn't seen highlander until I started playing DnD in college and Mortal Kombat came out in highschool, I think. [17:39:37] I've never seen Highlander [17:39:43] Also, Cha, would you allow worship of the red knight? [17:39:48] Honestly? Wasn't that impressed. [17:40:20] Okay, we have cyclopean, let's see if Cha can work in gibbous and squamous before the session ends. [17:40:34] ? [17:40:44] Me neither, but of course, Lambert was memorable. [17:40:57] Nova: H.P. Lovecraft's three favorite words. [17:41:17] Is this Cyclopean as in like, the Fomorian ally? [17:42:07] I'm pretty sure it just means incomprehensibly huge or something to that effect. [17:42:16] Thats some really awesome description, Cha. [17:42:28] Thanks! [17:42:38] Yeah, just incredibly huge [17:42:56] Xan: Who the fuck's the Red Knight? [17:43:12] FR god of strategic warfare [17:43:46] Oh, yeah, sure. I'm willing to say that the planes are linked through Sigil, so it's possible that Xan, as a planar traveller's heard of him, or been to Abeir-Toril [17:44:55] Well, Xan is FROM Sigil. [17:45:05] * Charles nods [17:45:13] Her [17:45:19] Red Knight's a she [17:45:32] Oh. I'm just a mysogenist when it comes to knights [17:45:35] heh [17:45:49] My fault for not saying "goddess" [17:45:54] I think that, as a planar traveller, you're probably aware that gods aren't really much of a help outside of their home plane [17:46:19] But then, unless you're an invoker or have relevant Epic Destinies, they're not much of a help INSIDE their home plane [17:46:25] haha [17:48:36] Let's see [17:48:47] Nature check work okay here Cha? [17:48:50] Tracking him down [17:49:11] Yeah, sure [17:49:17] Man, that makes me wonder how invokers in Eberron work [17:49:20] 1d20+10 [17:49:21] Eilenia rolls 1D20+10: 20 +10 = 30 [17:49:23] Wow [17:49:25] Welp [17:49:47] I was gonna say it'd be hard to guess which set of tracks are his, exactly, buuut. [17:50:57] wow [17:51:09] Okay, here's the deal: There are a bunch of tracks that seem human, but off, as though their weight was strangely distributed, along with a group of horses. There are also the tracks of a bunch of humanoids, probably eladrin, heading in a different direction. It seems like the first set of tracks follows them, and then doubles back [17:51:38] Finally, heading in a *third* direction is what appears to be incredibly light, remarkably carefully made prints [17:51:43] Probably gnomes. [17:52:00] Hahaha [17:52:10] I'm picturing that being in the same tone Indy uses to say "Snakes." [17:52:14] haha [17:58:48] You just lost your shadow and his dog, too. [17:59:23] Wha? [17:59:36] It's a final fantasy 3 thing. [17:59:40] hahaha [17:59:50] Hahahaha [17:59:55] Nah, we still have Elena. THe dog will protect her. [18:00:09] Oh man, if Xan was Eilenia's father, mind = blown [18:00:13] hahahaha [18:00:15] Kinda sucks to be edged out of the fucking party though, man. [18:00:22] * Xan is now known as Mechazawa [18:00:31] Don't worry, we can grind dinosaurs for days so that General Leo will come back and save him from dying at the end of the game. :| [18:00:36] What do we do now? [18:00:37] So should I, like, run a Xan side-adventure? I'm not fully sure what to go with here. [18:00:41] Sorry, man, but you said "I love killing [intelligent creatures]" [18:00:58] Like, I kind of expected this to happen, since the Feywild pushes relationships to their extremes [18:01:03] And you're in the party with a Paladin. YOu can only push me so far. [18:01:09] Just not *immediately upon entering* :| [18:01:09] I think the campaign's over. :( [18:01:17] Campaign isn't over! [18:01:23] He generally was fond of killing anything, really. [18:01:35] Deep-rooted sadomasochistic tendencies [18:01:39] I thought he was doing it cold-bloodedly. [18:01:45] Anyway, let me throw up a gnome. [18:01:53] oh god what have I done [18:01:56] Because gnomes are fucking awesome anyway. [18:02:03] oh jesus guys I'm sorry [18:02:09] Great, now I gotta figure out what to do with teh wiki [18:02:18] Maybe once we get to the shadowfell, it'll be super-depressing for everyone and Xan and Eve can have a beer at some zombie cafe and make out. :| [18:02:29] Man, you know what's great? [18:02:36] I'm imagining Xan vomitting up a gnome now. [18:02:40] I wasn't even going to mention the gnomes until Dem rolled a 20 on that nature check [18:02:52] So that's TWICE that Rusty's stayed in the game specifically because of a natural 20 [18:03:10] Uh.. [18:03:22] No, I'm sort of laving the game this time because of a natural 20 [18:03:30] I guess that's true [18:03:42] When you said you were throwing up a gnome, I assumed you meant to, like, stay active in the game [18:03:43] I'd prefer he survive, though. [18:03:57] I am, but I didn't want to lose the character. [18:04:14] Oh, yeah. I don't have any intent of killing Xan. [18:04:19] Not over this, at least [18:04:21] Anyway, got any incentives for me here? What do I set them at? [18:04:40] Incentives? [18:04:44] I think the character is pretty lost already. :/ [18:05:21] I'm hoping Eve gets to kill or be killed by Xan, personally. [18:05:25] :V [18:05:34] Yeah, like, eh, do I give him an extra magic weapon or anything? [18:06:06] Whatever you do, do it fast, because I've been really annoyed at the game not running lately, or running really slowly. [18:06:11] who? [18:06:12] Oh, well, nobody's got any magic items yet, I think, but if you wanna start with something that'll take the place of your item cache thing, I guess [18:06:13] I hate to sound like an absolute dick here. [18:06:23] But I"m just really annoyed [18:06:23] No, fuck it [18:06:29] I'm making Frog from Chrono Trigger [18:06:38] sweet! [18:06:46] With gnome stats? [18:06:57] No, with bullywug stats [18:07:03] Bullywug, I assume. Even though they're terrible abominations [18:07:03] Hah! [18:07:07] Their very being is corruption [18:07:17] But your racial power will almost never get any use [18:07:21] So if Matt comes back we'll have Frog AND Robo. :haw: [18:07:25] Hahahah [18:07:27] HAHAHAHA [18:07:28] he's going to be a Swordmage [18:07:36] Eve's pretty much Ayla already. :| [18:07:37] Sweet! more melee! [18:07:45] hahahahahaha [18:07:46] We need a Striker. [18:07:55] We don't NEED a striker, dem. [18:08:05] Well, I could go with a striker instead. I'm fond of damage. It'll be melee [18:08:07] You CAN play the game without all roles filled. [18:08:11] Lemme check around. You guys keep playing. [18:08:13] I guess. [18:08:14] Honestly, I'll probably just cut monster hitpoints down if we don't get a striker [18:08:25] I'll mess around in the builder and pay active attention [18:08:28] Because fights last long enough already [18:08:31] Probably hopping in by the first combat. [18:09:21] An avenger [18:11:21] * Charles nods [18:11:37] That's cool. I'm really excited about avengers in general. [18:11:42] Mechanically speaking, that is [18:12:07] He could have been, actually. [18:12:10] Saved. [18:12:30] maybe in some other game, I guess [18:12:33] Or as an npc or someting [18:13:41] Maybe. But he just professed a love for killing intelligent creatures. You do remember Eve going crazy when she heard an eladrin was hunting people, right? [18:13:59] Not really sure what you expected her reaction to be. [18:14:08] yeah [18:14:15] Does Xan just not realize people can hear what he's saying? [18:14:31] He's probably used to living in Sigil [18:14:33] I think Rusty just likes to test my paladins, personally :V [18:14:59] Where he can say "I love killing gnomes" and some demon can walk up and be all "NO WAY BRAH I LOVE KILLING GNOMES TOO" and high-five him :V [18:15:08] hahahaha [18:15:09] Pshh, I just play morally ambiguous or fucking evil pcs [18:15:19] haha [18:15:27] Yeah. It just seemed like Xan swung more toward fucking evil once he was outted. [18:15:45] Or at least, once he stepped into the Feywild. [18:16:16] Speaking of which, RUtsty, when my game resumes, I'd appreciate it if Ungyo stays more heroic. [18:17:53] Ungyo was incredibly noble. [18:18:12] * Eilenia nods [18:18:16] Yeah Ungyo wasn't that morally ambiguous at all [18:18:18] It's been a while. I can't really rmemeber much [18:19:35] I really love the idea of a Frog Prince avenger existing in the Feywild, just because. [18:19:51] Like, if Rusty wasn't *actually* a bullywug, but just a fanciful creature. [18:20:05] Huh, that's a pretty cool idea [18:20:28] huh. yeah [18:20:37] I was thinking what good races are in the feywild other than gnomes and eladrin, and I like the idea of these, like, one-off creatures that're just spawned by virtue of the pure *life* that's surging through the plane [18:20:48] That's what I thought he was doing when I thought he was going to mechanically be a gnome [18:21:04] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [18:21:27] They could literally be taken from fairy tales, because the Feywild is the source of fairy tales in the DnD setting. [18:21:32] Like, intelligent animals born from regular animals and stuff [18:21:33] Yeah [18:22:02] Or nursry rhimes. Like Jack-Be-Nimble [18:22:33] ....I wonder if there'd be a fey race of all-men, counter to nymphs, who're just called Jacks. [18:22:41] Cause there are a LOT of Jacks in fairtales [18:22:56] Yeah. Though I dunno the degree to which I want to make the feywild into the realm of stories from Fables. :V [18:22:57] Yeah [18:23:11] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [18:23:13] Fables and Zorceror of Zo, which are both about fairy tales, handle that in interesting ways [18:23:23] Well, Cha, would you allow me to maybe play another race with a frog body, then yes [18:23:26] I'd like to think up of specifically DnD fables, instead of just translating our own. [18:23:39] In Fables, one of the major characters is Jack-of-Tales, who's *all* the Jacks in *all* those stories [18:23:50] hahaha [18:24:08] And Zorceror has it such that one of the possible identities of the Zorceror who rules the continent is the famed, heroic Jack who did all that shit [18:24:20] Like a deva in Frog form. [18:24:21] heh. [18:24:22] I don't have a problem with mechanical approximation, yeah [18:24:35] As long as it isn't something wacky like a minotaur as a tiny frog [18:24:45] Sort of a subtle joke of reincarnation. [18:24:49] A penance. [18:24:51] Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes = Fable's Script? [18:25:06] "Nonono, he HITs the bugbear." [18:25:30] Huh, that's kind of a cool idea. [18:25:39] Like, he wasn't QUITE shitty enough to be a rakshasa [18:25:44] HAH [18:25:47] But still not quite good enough to be a deva again [18:26:03] morally ambiguous! [18:26:21] Please don't enjoy killing intelligent creatures :( [18:26:58] Well, I was sort of thinking that he became a victim of a curse [18:27:08] Aaah [18:27:10] * Charles nods [18:27:22] Maybe something put on him by a hag? [18:27:27] Can't come back as a humanoid until he breaks it [18:27:39] No, how about a curse from our current villan? an unreversible one. [18:27:45] Oh, good idea. [18:27:46] It'd get me tied in. [18:27:49] * Charles nods [18:28:11] Nice [18:28:14] And that works with how Coldheart turns men into beasts [18:28:24] Awesome! [18:28:46] Are we going to totally rip off Frog's intro from Chrono Trigger? [18:28:58] Paera "Eeek! It's a talking FROG!" [18:29:01] Maybe you guys are, I can only barely remember it [18:29:03] Hahah [18:29:12] I don't remember at all [18:29:37] Also, it'd be fantastic if you talked in fake olde englishe rusty [18:29:38] Paera has horns and a tail, I think she's got less room to talk about that than the rest of the currently present party. :V [18:29:55] Then we can deal with bad faux-russian and fake olde englishe at the same time. [18:30:10] nooooooooo D: [18:30:13] I just said I was playing Frog, didn't I? [18:30:25] Are you playing SNES FRog or DS Frog? [18:30:26] This is gonna be :awesome: [18:30:41] I think I'm going to go swordmage for elemental melee attacks though [18:30:47] Cool [18:30:49] Assault? [18:30:52] Yep [18:30:57] Big two hander too [18:31:01] Assault swordmages are good stand-ins for strikers [18:31:15] Maybe Ensnaring [18:31:21] constant pursuit [18:31:23] Go Bastard Sword so you can maintain your full Warding [18:31:44] By free actioning your off-hand on and off the blade [18:31:51] I'm going to go with a fullblade [18:32:26] Just gonna soak the AC hit? [18:32:43] Ahahaha oh man, someone ELSE in grognard going on about how it's not D&D without the sacred cows. WHY DO GROGNARDS THINK A SACRED COW IS A GOOD THING? [18:32:50] I forget, were there racial feats for various races to be swordmages with different weapons, or did I just have an awesome dream [18:32:53] hahahah [18:33:06] Like, having dwarven hammermages and that sort of thing [18:33:09] Yon: Maybe they're hindu. Did you ever think of that? :colbert: [18:33:25] Cha: That was warlocks [18:33:29] Oh [18:33:30] They have Pact hammers and stuff [18:33:32] That's too bad [18:33:35] for dwarven mages [18:33:48] Because I don't really see any reason for swordmage to specifcally be *sword*mage [18:34:26] they exist [18:34:27] Nova: If they were Hindu, I don't they'd be comparing THAC0 to a sacred cow. :colbert: [18:34:28] Like, I really like the idea of dwarven mages with runecarved hammers doing an arcane defender thing, or some wuxia spearman doing that shit (though reach weapons might be overpowered or useless for swordmages) [18:34:37] Elena bought Xan's services didn't she? -_- [18:34:43] No [18:35:07] Elena's being eladrin-y. [18:35:13] Cha: I think it's a fairly tame houserule to let Swordmages be Spearmages or Hammermages. [18:35:18] Yeah [18:35:22] Perhaps it's a message. [18:35:25] Or a reminder. [18:35:34] It's also fairly easy to implement in the CB [18:35:50] Just houserule and extra feat slot, and then take Arcane Implement Procifiency in spears or hammers. [18:35:51] I mean, worst comes to worst, they can take a feat to be unique and beautiful snowflakes [18:35:54] * Charles nods [18:36:01] heh [18:36:13] Hell, you can just take Arcane Implement Proficiency and do it. [18:36:38] And just houserule that Swordmage Warding works with it. [18:36:43] Yeah [18:36:52] (you can manually raise AC in the character sheet viewer) [18:37:14] I um, already sorta made this character [18:37:41] ...gotta love Character Builder [18:37:56] whooop [18:38:02] No, I made him before just toying around at level 21 [18:38:10] heh [18:38:30] Is he going to be Small size in fluff, just not mechanically? [18:38:42] And once again, Elena takes the front in the marching order. :/ [18:39:00] (It's FUCKING HYUUUUGE biceps letting him wield weapons like a medium character :V) [18:40:04] He's medium sized, just hunched over like a frog [18:40:21] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [18:40:58] Fun Fact: I tossed Paera the coin cause I just didn't want to deal with adding a copper to my character sheet. [18:41:00] :V:V:V:V:V:V [18:41:24] Um. [18:41:27] We have shared party loot [18:41:28] Remember? [18:41:43] Wasn't sure that was implemented [18:41:54] So you have my 320 gp? [18:41:54] ... it's in our party log. :/ [18:42:18] Maybe it's the whole "forgetting to eat lunch" thing but I'm a bit high-strung right now. I should eat something [18:42:29] Yeah, you should [18:42:55] oh, so close. Gibberish, not gibbous [18:43:09] Cha, sending. [18:43:40] Um, could we possibly houserule in a +2 to Athletics checks? [18:43:48] Background it? [18:44:18] Yeah, I think a background that gives +2 to athletics (renamed 'Is a frog') would be the best solution here [18:44:25] http://img.waffleimages.com/40cae1db1737ec1b1baedceae027fe1de7637159/soniccorruptor.PNG *snerk* [18:44:40] No background yet. Roughly, a Deva noble cursed by the hunter in a game of cards with possibly a deck of many things involved [18:44:55] The hunter killed his child. [18:46:14] Yeah the +2 athletics could be from your "Was cursed into a frog" background [18:46:27] I feated in Long Jumper. [18:46:36] hah [18:46:46] nice [18:46:51] Okay, sending now. [18:47:53] Sent [18:48:11] Man, if we end up finding out Coldheart is in actuality trying to defeat Vecna, and end up having to ally with him, Eve is going to have an enurism. [18:48:40] Hahaha [18:49:08] Yeah, he's just being really proactive about rooting out servants of Vecna (by murdering anyone who might possibly worship him at some point) [18:49:35] And inr egard to the thing that's watching you, nobody's passive perception cuts it in terms of knowing for sure. anyone want to make an active check? [18:49:37] First step into hoarding secrets is writing them down and putting them behind locked doors. [18:50:15] I'll give it a shot [18:50:17] 1d20+4 [18:50:17] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+4: 13 +4 = 17 [18:50:23] better than my passive! [18:50:59] Not quite good enough. :( [18:51:07] Passive, leme see [18:51:14] 1d20+5 [18:51:14] Eilenia rolls 1D20+5: 13 +5 = 18 [18:51:17] waagh [18:52:21] 17 was not quite [18:52:30] 18 must succeed! [18:53:06] Well, at least I don't have to look at Xan's creepy fucking pog again. [18:56:50] Eladrin children are told World Tales, where things are just kind of mundane and boring and then someone dies of the grippe. :| [18:57:01] hahahahaha [18:57:07] Hahahaha [18:57:35] "And then he fell ill and died." "Mother, why didn't a princess kiss him and make him better?" "Because kisses don't work like that in the World." ".... ;_;" [18:57:47] (Yes, Eladrin children speak in emotes) [18:57:52] hahaha [19:00:07] What about Shadar-Kai children? [19:00:56] Their parents just scream Ramones lyrics at them for hours on end until they pass out [19:01:54] hahahahaha [19:02:45] Do these things ahve doors? [19:02:58] Or just transparent crystal that you teleport through? :| [19:03:07] HAH [19:03:09] awesome [19:03:38] You don't need line of effect for teleporting, do you? just sight, right? [19:03:48] Huh, that's actually a pretty neat idea [19:04:02] yeah [19:04:13] Considere it stolen. [19:04:23] But just so everyone else isn't left out in the cold, I'm gonna say these eladrin houses have doors [19:04:26] (Feyspires in Eberron now have no doors, just windows) [19:04:42] Which is too bad, because eladrin make a better door than a window [19:04:46] DOOOOOH HO HO HO [19:04:53] ....? [19:04:59] I don't get it. [19:05:11] Just sight, yeah. [19:05:19] And the issue with teleporting is tha tit takes 5 minutes. :( [19:05:48] It's one of those cutesy-douchey things parents (or at least my father) sometimes says. Like, when you're standing in front of something they want to see and they want you to move [19:05:57] Since windows are looked through, and doors move [19:06:00] Eladrin live forever. Waiting five minutes is the same thing to them as taking the time to turn a doorknob and open a door, then close it and lock it, is for us. [19:06:23] I've never heard that saying [19:06:32] Consider yourself lucky [19:06:35] haha [19:07:00] My grandfather said that all the fucking time. [19:07:02] Leon Kennedy is an eladrin? [19:07:47] Why did I just get the image of a martial arts master when you said that, Yon? [19:08:28] I don't know! [19:08:35] Personally, I thought it was kinda funny there because of the reference and it implies that, like, Eladrin are more skilled at crafting doors than they are at crafting windows [19:08:39] But they just make windows [19:08:53] heh [19:09:05] I'm actually still laughing about it IRL. :( [19:09:27] It's okay, Charles. I still respect you. [19:09:38] They stopped making windows as much becuase humans kept trying to jump through them to get out. :( [19:09:46] hahaha [19:10:01] Oh, guys. I'm gonna be home wednesday and thusday. [19:10:16] If Odal can run again on wednesday, that'd be great. Or Sharn. :| [19:10:37] I'd like to run Nesonarn, but I'm not sure I should be GMing anything other than Youkai while my class enters the big worky period [19:10:51] I'd be okay with running my game again [19:10:57] Man, my grandfather had a LOT of those dumb sayings. "You are like a little pelican, your eyes can eat more than your belly can." Holy shit I got sick of that one. [19:11:02] If we run Sharn, we'll have to bust out my character again [19:11:14] Holy shit, wow [19:11:31] My father used to just say my eyes were larger than my stomach, which was stupid on two levels [19:12:07] heh [19:12:16] My mom always said that about my dad. [19:12:17] One, I was a total glutton, and could eat any fucking thing, and two, as a child I didn't understand metaphor, but I understood biology well enough to know that was *not fucking true* >:( [19:12:25] Ahahahaha, on the X-Men anime movie: Then we can have Rogue physically abusing Gambit every time he makes a pass at her, Jubilee blushing all the time around Wolverine, and Psylocke can be a tsundere. [19:12:25] AND THERE'S A HOT SPRING ATTACHED TO THE MANSION! [19:12:35] Usually, my mother's eye was bigger than my stomach, and she made me eat all of it anyway. [19:12:43] oh god, I can't be at ease with pelicans anymore [19:13:07] haha [19:13:11] Hahahahah "All you did was add a hot spring to the mansion." [19:13:16] hahahahaha [19:13:53] Hahahahahah [19:14:49] There's not really an X-Men anime movie with all that bullshit, is there? [19:14:57] Like, that's just a joke, right? [19:15:07] No, but there IS an X-Men anime movie, which is what they were joking about. [19:15:17] heh [19:15:33] Hey Charles, how old were those footprints? [19:16:21] Well, snow hasn't covered them up. [19:16:37] But then, it's possible that that snow's been there for a very long time. [19:16:56] Oh yeah, Cha, I'm probably going to trade out Valiant Strike for one of the Divine Sanction at-wills when DP gets uploaded to the CB, that okay? [19:17:06] Yeah, feel free [19:17:25] Also, how do you feel about giving Divine Sanction to any specific paladin power that used to just say "you mark the enemy"? [19:17:45] I was considering a houserule like that, wanted to know what you think [19:17:56] I feel that's something I'd like to test before I have it in a game that I run [19:18:01] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [19:18:26] Like, it might not be unbalancing, but then, it might also give the paladin near-constant access to attacks with decent damage and a sanction [19:18:40] DC and DS are supposed to work together, too, I think [19:18:44] 1d20+4 [19:18:45] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+4: 8 +4 = 12 [19:18:45] And I think as-designed, the saction's kind of intended to be something you need to give up damage for [19:18:46] Yeah [19:18:47] :V [19:19:11] You can't see shit! [19:19:23] I'm snowblind! [19:19:30] Passive insight is 15, if anything's up [19:19:47] Also, I think that philosophy of minus damage for sanctioning might've carried over from minus damage for extra marking [19:20:47] Like, Arcing Smite is a 1st level encounter power that hits two enemies with at-will damage and marks them. Lots of DS encounter powers I saw involved marking several targets at once. It seems like it fits, which is why I got the idea. [19:21:09] You can tell that they're honest, but they're also drunk and more than a little clueless [19:21:15] " Lots of DS encounter powers I saw involved marking several targets at once." I just sort of picture Eve using a stylus to draw a circle around every enemy. [19:21:35] Holy shit that's a lot of eladrin nobles. [19:21:44] hahahaha [19:22:43] I think it might be workable, but it seems kinda drastic to just put in on the hunch that it might be workable [19:22:49] You know what I wish we had? [19:22:53] Liquor? [19:23:06] WotC's formula for making level-balanced powers that they hinted existed in the Psion development article [19:23:35] heh [19:23:46] trade secrets, I guess? [19:23:58] I think it's stuff like "dazed until end of next turn = 1[w]" [19:24:08] I can see why they're not releasing it (if people could make balanced classes easily, what the fuck do we need WotC for) but still [19:24:13] Yeah [19:24:18] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [19:24:21] I'm curious about PHB3 being about choices [19:25:00] It'd make stuff like "Is giving all these powers Divine Sanction balanced" easy to tell by checking the DS powers against the old mark powers and seeing if they all worked out [19:25:17] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [19:25:33] It'll probably be easier to do once they're uploaded in the compendium [19:25:44] Or, you know, I buy the book [19:25:56] And do research not during gametime. [19:26:00] Heh [19:26:53] * Eve_Kasnora tries to forget he has the pdf [19:27:17] I'm totally digging 4e DMing though. [19:27:29] I already made like 11 encounters for the Sharn game. [19:27:37] Are they scary? D: [19:27:43] Some are. [19:28:01] It's five clowns with five bags of spiders D: [19:28:09] oh god no [19:28:10] noooooo [19:28:12] bags of spiders? @_@ [19:28:21] That'd be an awesome skinswap for the drow arachnomancer [19:28:34] Hahah [19:30:15] hahahahaha [19:30:40] "You see a clown. He is holding a bag." "OH FUCK" [19:36:29] Would Elena know if the eladrin might just be *lying*? [19:36:32] When ddi the ... rift thingy open? [19:36:48] I'll try an active insight [19:36:49] 1d20+5 [19:36:50] Eilenia rolls 1D20+5: 18 +5 = 23 [19:37:15] Like, maybe not maliciously but just "tee hee, let's confuse the travelers!" [19:37:46] The rift opened up maybe a year or nine months ago, IIRC [19:43:21] Dammit, Coldheart is trying to help Nerath to. >:( [19:43:33] We are going to ally with him. >:( [19:45:20] Heightened emotions and Eve do not mix >_>; [19:48:30] Then maybe she should take up the ritual of kolinahr. [19:48:33] Like a proper vulcan [19:52:34] Eve is not a proper vulcan >:( [19:56:17] Guys, I gotta get up early. Mind I join in next session? [19:56:40] Aw [19:56:46] alright [19:56:49] No problem. Sorry we didn't get to intro you yet. :/ [19:56:51] I was kinda hoping to see Frog :P [19:57:03] Okay, not kinda, I was super-hoping. [19:57:03] There's wednesday, at least [20:01:00] its cool [20:02:13] * Mechazawa (rustangel@ip-117-113.atvci.net) Quit (Quit: I am not ignorant, I am intelligent. I'm not an ape, I am the way, I am the truth. I am religion, I am politics, I am a psychoanalyst, I'm an inkblot shaped like Zeus) [20:07:45] Oh for fuck's sake, what the hell, Voyager? I was just randomly browsing Memory Alpha and apparently there was an episode where Seven of Nine fights The Rock. :psypop: [20:07:54] Aaahahahah [20:07:57] hahahaha, I remember that episode [20:08:02] @_@ [20:08:06] what the hell? [20:08:22] Maybe it's Threshold, but that just doesn't freak me out so much [20:09:08] It's not so much being freaked out as just been astonished at how ridiculous it is. [20:09:27] Speaking of freaked out: [20:09:30] GREEN DRAGON [20:09:34] http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Tsunkatse_(episode) But, uh, yeah. Episode summary. [20:12:06] Oh jesus [20:13:24] humanity? or humility? [20:13:27] Also guys [20:13:33] He just accidentally let a secret slip out [20:13:42] DRAGON WANTS MAH EYE [20:13:42] Vecna? [20:13:44] aaaaa [20:14:18] Nova: Humanity. I figure that humanoid gestures don't come easily to something built like a cat-bat-lizard [20:14:47] Ahahahahahah "Wait, who stole our food porn and replaced it with archery porn? I NOTICED, DAMN IT. GIVE ME THE FOOD PORN BACK. " "It seems like one can almost see the mind of Nasu [20:14:47] "Archery, is awesome!" [20:14:47] "Food, is awesome!" [20:14:47] "Young men who can be killed but not die, are awesome!" [20:14:47] "SWORDS ARE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....." [20:14:54] Ah [20:18:57] Wow. [20:19:21] A Dragon being sarcastic towards me is probably the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced in a DnD game. [20:19:26] Hahahah [20:19:31] lol [20:20:46] Mimicing the dragon was unconcious on my part too. [20:20:48] @_@ [20:20:55] haha [20:21:01] I'm just totally freaked out right now [20:21:13] Obviously, you people have not been to Hogworts. [20:21:25] You know, as much as I have a strong 'fuck dragons' stance, I'm actually kind of enjoying playing this dick. [20:21:37] hahaha [20:22:51] Hahahaha, Eve [20:24:21] She was seriously starting to freak out worrying whether this dragon was going to try and eat her or not. She couldn't take the suspense anymore. [20:24:25] haha [20:26:28] I think I might be enjoying this encounter particularly much in large part because, in my head, the dragon sounds *exactly* like Shannon from Home Movies [20:26:56] How do you do italics in mIRC? [20:27:00] You don't [20:27:04] Bold? [20:27:11] Ctrl_b [20:27:25] This dragon is totally freaking me out. [20:29:23] I like the idea of the dragon just looking at eve and periodically raising its eyebrows or something [20:29:34] Hahahah [20:29:34] Like, I totally can't tell if his sacrasm ended at calling Eve wise, or if he was being sarcastic about her being blessed too. [20:29:51] ohgodIdon'tlikethatideatatall [20:30:25] You know, it's fun playing a paladin scared out of her wits. [20:31:55] Hahaha [20:32:30] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrScKYp_Qy8 Shannon starts at about 2:25 in this video, if you want this encounter made better/much worse. :| [20:32:45] I'm just glad he wasn't out for the fucking Eye. [20:33:40] Has eve ever seen a dragon before? [20:34:34] Nope! [20:34:42] How does she know it's a dragon? [20:34:53] Cause it's a fucking dragon [20:35:07] Couldn't tell you what it does [20:35:13] But hey, that's a dragon. [20:35:18] I dunno. It could be a hydra [20:35:40] What the fuck is a hydra? [20:36:01] I heard it's kinda like a bear. [20:36:08] I think the question is, how high is her nature skill? [20:36:20] Because if it's at zero, holy fuck, that's the weirdest bear she's ever seen [20:36:34] I don't think bears exist in swamps [20:36:44] hahah [20:37:51] You know, when you think about it, in the DnD world there is *so much shit out there* just as dangerous as bears, it might not be that implausible to make knowing what a bear is and does not automatic knowledge [20:38:06] Yeah [20:38:40] Especially since sane people generally don't leave cities and it's not like there's media past bestiaries written by guys who may have only ever heard of half the shit out there [20:39:00] It's like "Oh holy shit what is that? Is... is it intelligent?" "I don't think so!" "Okay... okay we just gotta back away slowly... don't be threaten HOLY SHIT ITS STANDING UP NOW!" [20:39:35] Hahaha, yeah [20:39:46] Yeah [20:39:59] And honestly, I don't think printing presses exist in any significant number [20:40:07] At least not in Eberron [20:40:08] So every depiction of an animal has to be hand-made by someone [20:40:11] er [20:40:16] Hey, we've got plenty of shit more terrifying than bears. Just most of it's at the bottom of the fucking ocean. :gonk: [20:40:19] D: [20:40:19] At least in settings that are not Eberron, rather [20:40:25] Like Aboleths [20:40:31] Hahaha [20:40:39] Aboleths are the worst thing. There's nothing else worse, okay? NOTHING [20:40:42] PISTOL SHRIMP [20:41:01] Nova, have you seen the medieval writings about bears? [20:41:15] Shrimp that snap their claws shut SO HARD that it creates a sonic blast SO FAST that it CREATES LIGHT and heat HOTTER THAN THE SUN. [20:41:29] (That is a real creature) [20:41:33] Yeah [20:41:41] But there are more horrifying-looking things. D: [20:41:42] Nope [20:41:45] True [20:41:54] You know the phrase "licked into shape"? [20:42:01] ....yeah? [20:42:17] Medieval people believed that bears were born as shapeless blobs of fur [20:42:19] They thought bear mothers licked bear cubs into the shape of bear cubs? [20:42:22] And the mother literally licked... yeah [20:42:25] hahahahahahaah [20:43:18] http://bestiary.ca/beasts/beast171.htm [20:43:38] Newborn cubs are a shapeless lump of white flesh, with no eyes or hair, though the claws are visible. The mother bear gradually licks her cubs into their proper shape, and keeps them warm by hugging them to her breast and lying on them, just as birds do with their eggs. In the winter, male bears remain in hiding for forty days, and females for four months; during this time they do not eat or drink, and for the first fourteen days are so soundly asleep that not even wounds can wake them. [20:43:45] not even wounds can wake them. [20:44:28] I was about to say "wow, sounds like they got something right with the hibernation" and then they spoiled it. [20:45:10] A bear's weakest part is the head; some say the brains of bears contain a poison that if drunk drives a man bear-mad * Retrieving #Exalted modes... [20:45:23] * Eilenia changes topic to '#Exalted: You relieved yourself! Your condition became "driven bear-mad" | Sharn II: a game that makes your hand sweaty | Odal's Fen: hecho en mexico | Nova's GT IP: 24.129.25.205 / Port 6812 | Dem's GT IP: 76.126.71.112 / Port 6812 | Youkai Thursdays 5 Pacific | We Like Everyone |TV screens means soft core gay erotica' [20:45:30] hahaha [20:45:37] HAHAHAHAH [20:46:49] Dont drink bear-brain brew [20:47:36] how common are they? [20:49:05] Not *especially* common [20:49:22] Probably less so than the world, though green dragons have an affinity for it [20:50:04] nooooooo [20:50:21] THE FUCK?! [20:50:26] HE IS GOING TO EAT US! [20:50:28] It was a lich all along [20:50:55] * Paera is now known as Yon [20:50:55] What the hell? [20:51:07] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDJT_7W-e8s&fmt=18 [20:52:12] I'm so confused [20:52:15] what just happened? [20:52:20] It lured us into a trap? [20:52:23] Yeah [20:53:09] And it was undead? [20:53:14] Apparently so [20:53:18] It... but... [20:53:20] what? [20:53:23] Must be the Shadowfell's influence [20:53:29] No, I was just trying to figure out how dragons smile. :( [20:53:32] Maybe when we leave Eve will be a death knight [20:53:32] zuh? [20:53:45] Of deeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaath [20:53:53] So it was the same dragon [20:54:05] Yeah. Same young green dragon. [20:54:25] And it just had us follow him to his favorite eating spot? [20:54:36] Seems like that's the case! [20:54:49] FUCKING DOUCHEBAG! [20:55:15] :( [20:55:25] End of campaign, guys [20:55:26] It was fun [20:55:34] I think it was the line he said at the end right there. [20:55:46] It sounded like something he should have said way back when we first met him. [20:56:21] "Oh, so nice of you to enter my territory. I wanted to deal with Coldheart, but I suppose I could have a snack first." [20:56:42] He's still being sarcastic. :( [20:57:01] oh heh [20:57:24] I wonder if his hoard is around anywhere [20:57:26] Green dragons have *ridiculous* bluff from day 1, and nobody decided to roll active insight against creatures known for being schemers who try to trick their prey into doing all the work of the hunt for them. [20:59:28] too terrified [20:59:29] I'm assuming our passive insight's not good enough? [20:59:42] 19 wasn't [20:59:47] Not unless anyone's got a passive insight above 25 [21:00:07] haw [21:00:08] Oh well [21:00:39] What's Draconomicon say about dragon corpses and magic again? [21:00:51] I remember their bones are good for rituals? Or was that blood? [21:01:06] Various parts of their bodies can be harvested for different things [21:01:10] hahahaha [21:01:20] I love how that's the first thing that enters your mind. [21:02:08] Yeah, I kinda got into character a bit. :| [21:02:31] Yeah, I figured :) [21:02:46] Man, today's session was pretty good, I think, initial party meltdown aside [21:03:29] Yeah [21:03:51] Yeah, it was pretty neat. [21:03:59] We got to go to the Feywild! [21:04:02] Eve went NUTS. [21:04:07] We saw a DRAGON [21:04:22] hahaha [21:04:23] Now we just need a dungeon and I'm good on my quota for the tier. :| [21:04:23] We spoke elven like FOREIGNERS [21:04:32] hahaha [21:04:36] hahaha [21:05:00] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDJT_7W-e8s&fmt=18 Everybody watch. :( [21:05:19] Well, I guess we might need one more of each after that [21:05:30] I saw, what the fuck. [21:05:41] You guys signed up for Dungeons and Dragons and so far, I've only provided dungeon and dragon [21:05:50] Hhahaha [21:05:53] haha [21:06:45] I saw it, but my 'favorite' part was the homophobe at the bottom bitching about how the store should be boycotted for not having the treeman be fucked. [21:07:10] The internet is so stupid that I can't tell when it's actively trolling me and when it's just passively trolling me by thinking stupid things [21:09:04] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decameron This was my inspiration for the eladrin nobles' lodge, by the way. [21:09:25] I'm wondering if the Xan thing should be dealt with within Odal or if it ought to be settled in some other game. [21:09:32] Just so you guys know I'm actually quite literate. :| [21:09:37] haha [21:10:23] ... did Divine Power have any items/ [21:10:28] Nope [21:10:34] Oh, okay [21:10:40] And Xan being, like, a cross-game antagonist could be pretty cool [21:11:25] I was thinking it might be kind of interesting for him to show up as a foil every so often, working for enemies of the group, or for people trying to accomplish the same thing as the PCs [21:11:31] I was hoping to see him reform in time. [21:11:32] * Eilenia nod [21:12:35] Final chapter of Onani Master is UP! [21:12:47] That would be pretty interesting, yeah [21:13:07] What'd keep Eve from eating him? :( [21:13:38] I think if he showed up on the other side of the initiative order, either A) he'll be running away, B) He'll be dying, or C) Eve'll be dying. [21:14:07] There'd be nothing really stopping Eve from trying to get him dead if he actually fought her. [21:14:22] Actually... [21:14:32] She'd probably go for a knock-out. [21:15:01] "SEE?! SEE WHAT YOU'RE CHOICES GET YOU?! If I was anything like you, you'd be dead! IS THIS HOW YOU WANT TO LIVE?!" [21:15:35] yeah, but would she really be that forgiving of him if he ends up being contracted to go after more innocent people? [21:17:18] She'd probably deliver him to authorities at that point. [21:17:40] If he then breaks out and attacks her AGAIN, she'd fight him with sorrow instead of anger and put him down. [21:20:21] Man, Pizza-ta's pimpin' in the last chapter [21:21:40] I hardly noticed him over how HUGE Nagaoka was. [21:22:10] Ahahahah [21:22:19] http://img253.yfrog.com/img253/9475/kokb.jpg I want a beatles rock band one that says [21:22:19] We're more popular than Jesus [21:22:19] John 4:3,66 [21:22:36] hahah [21:25:53] Man, I like playing Odal [21:26:06] Heh [21:26:12] Me too. [21:26:18] Yon: It was at the reunion where he was wearing that big parka and the shades [21:26:19] Honestly it really seems to have clicked with me lately. [21:26:46] And I was thinking "That's the look of a guy who's got it going on". Even though he's a total lardo. :| [21:27:05] Howso? [21:27:06] Also, man, what a good ending. Onani Master is probably my favorite manga [21:27:59] Man, Nagaoka really is just looming over the crowd [21:29:05] Hahahahah [21:29:05] Guys, you're really missing the point of the chapter. [21:29:06] The point is that Nomiya-sensei is still the best sensei [21:29:06] When he asked for Kobayashi to hook him up, I swear he started sounding like Coach McGuirk from Home Movies in my mind. [21:29:14] I want to read Onani Master again with that in mind [21:29:20] What do Eladrin nobles eat for a hundred year,s anyway? [21:29:33] Probably magical food [21:33:34] Oh yeah, that reminds me [21:33:58] We still need to buy our everlasting provisions. [21:34:09] Elena's and Eve's money isn't enough. [21:34:17] * Eilenia is now known as Demota [21:37:25] Whoop. [21:37:38] One vial of draogn blood gives +5 to any skill checks for rituals [21:38:00] Bones augment Restoration rituals [21:38:08] Brain's for Divination [21:38:47] But only for stuff the dragon would have knwon [21:38:54] Same with eye and divination [21:39:24] maybe we can divine some stuff about Coldheart's fortitications [21:39:29] Use in Rituals: By using an appropriate dragon’s [21:39:29] heart as part of a ritual associated with that dragon’s [21:39:29] destiny or as part of an epic quest, you might choose [21:39:29] to treat the d20 result of all skill checks related to [21:39:29] that ritual as 10. [21:39:36] * Eve_Kasnora is now known as NovaSeaker [21:39:37] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [21:39:56] BEHIND THE SCENES: [21:39:56] ORGANS AS TREASURE [21:39:56] Dragon blood, bones, or other remains could have a [21:39:56] defined market value or general effect on rituals, but such [21:39:56] rules are best used with great care. Considering a dragon as [21:39:56] a set of component dragon parts could turn every encounter [21:39:56] finale into a bizarre monster-butchering exercise “just [21:39:56] in case” the parts in question have some value. [21:39:56] Unless you decide otherwise, the remains of the vast [21:39:56] majority of dragons have no particular ability to enhance [21:39:56] the potency of rituals, and thus the noted components [21:39:56] have no value. [21:40:16] I really like the ide aof every encounter finale being a bizarre monster-butchering exercise [21:40:57] Then you'd LOVE old D&D modules where you did that because if you didn't find treasure you wouldn't get treasure [21:41:11] And the modules had shit like 'This orc has swallowed a diamond necklace!' [21:41:38] hahahahahah [21:41:45] what the hell [21:42:36] You know, I really like the "part of an epic quest" part of the heart thing [21:42:44] Since we had quests like "Get to this town" [21:43:29] Ahahahahahahah http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3098558&pagenumber=65 #post363811232 [21:43:38] My favorites parts are his complaints about elves and monsters [21:43:41] What thread is that? [21:43:57] Oh, wait. Grognards [21:44:23] 200 years, what the hell [21:44:54] Centuries, not TWO HUNDRED YEARS :downsmug: [21:45:16] SACRED COWS [21:45:50] * Senranda (senranda@bas1-unionville55-1177733259.dsl.bell.ca) has joined #Exalted [21:46:02] Sacred cows that lived for decades, not 20 years! [21:46:15] hahahaha [21:46:23] i"m really amazed by the Sacred Cow confusion [21:46:26] Hahahahahaha [21:46:29] And those cows were statted as characters which... somehow makes it easier to figure their shit out and adjust their abilities? [21:46:50] Honestly, I just can't fucking fathom how wrong someone can be about the monsters as characters things [21:47:13] Like, there's matters of opinion, and there's being a whiny fucking beard on legs, but then there's just being *objectively wrong* [21:48:07] Yeah.
