Start of #Exalted buffer: Tue Aug 18 13:30:23 2009 [16:09:24] Yon, wanna finish up Mari before Odal starts? [16:09:41] (assuming we're not starting right now) [16:10:48] We've got a while, I think [16:11:27] Sure. [16:13:08] Cool [16:14:07] Alrighty [16:14:42] whoops [16:15:02] what were your skill choices again? [16:15:14] something, something, something, heal [16:17:15] Firing up character builder [16:17:48] Oh, I got my replacement Gurren-Lagann and new Enki today [16:18:23] History, athletics, heal, thievery [16:18:25] Enki comes with the helmet-less Gurran-Lagann head, so I took my scraped and broken Gurren-Lagann and took off one of the shoulder plates and gave it that head. [16:19:04] Cool [16:19:18] Did you look at swordmage/artificer powers any after that one night? [16:20:43] Yeah, I did, but I really didn't come to any decisions. :( [16:20:51] heh [16:20:59] alright lets start where we left off [16:21:02] level 2 utility [16:22:08] It does not help that I have a retardedly huge list to pick from. :| [16:22:15] Indeed [16:22:42] I have 10 utilities to choose from, just from one class. D: [16:22:45] Restorative Infusion is pretty good for a leader utility [16:23:05] 20 temp hp to one character, who can then distribute it as a free action to other characters [16:23:13] minor action [16:23:52] Use Magic Item is really pretty good if you plan on using a lot of magic item dailies [16:24:22] Basically you use the utility instead of a "daily magic item use" when using a magic item daily. [16:24:48] Do you know how using magic item dailies works? Personally I find it the most confusing thing about 4e so I always make sure to ask [16:25:07] I have some vague idea but I'm not sure exactly. [16:26:19] You get one use of a daily magic item power per day. [16:26:33] Like, you could have two items that each have a Daily power, but you can only use one of those two per day [16:26:40] brb, relocating [16:26:43] I know that part, but isn't there more to it? [16:26:45] * Mechazawa (rustangel@ip-118-219.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) [16:26:45] Yeah. [16:26:50] Like some condition that lets you use another? [16:26:57] At every milestone, you get the daily item use back [16:27:15] Yeah [16:27:29] At heroic tier, you start with 1 use of a magic item daily. [16:27:52] So if you have three magic items with daily powers, you only start out with the ability to use one. [16:28:19] After 4 encounters (combat or skill challenges) you've reached 2 milestones so you can use the other three. [16:28:22] other 2 rather [16:28:52] Also, each individual magic item daily power is still only a daily power. Meaning you can't use one of your magic items three times just because you reached 2 milestones. [16:29:11] I see. [16:29:25] With Use Magic Item, you basically start the day with an extra use of a magic item daily power, since you're using your class utility power for it. [16:29:28] I hope AV2 has more magic items with cool at-will powers [16:30:00] (Personally I try to find as many cool at-will, property, and encounter powers on magic items as possible) [16:30:08] Argh. That's a pretty cool power, but restorative infusion is SO GOOD. [16:30:26] Well, we have, what, three other leaders? [16:31:14] Aurora's primarily a leader [16:31:18] We've got Aurora as a main leader and Aun as another hybrid leader. [16:31:21] And so is Aun as.. yeah [16:31:37] You can probably go for cool over leader. [16:31:44] Isn't Phanos a shaman, too? [16:31:52] with that said, lets take a look at Swordmage [16:31:53] Fuck it, use magic item because that's pretty sweet. [16:31:59] Druid/Invoker [16:32:02] Or we could do that [16:32:13] Heh [16:32:27] Well we just narrowed down artificer to "UMI" [16:32:42] Huh. I would have thought that shaman fit better. Is he taking the summoning powers to represent the undead? [16:33:56] I think he's playing up the Deva thing. [16:34:14] Basically, Phanos as a spellscale was some dragon trying to control the prophecy. [16:34:47] It screwed up his reincarnation cycle, so he's got missing memories, but he's coming back as a Deva [16:35:21] Yeah, it's just that shaman makes more sense than druid to me unless he's going summoner [16:35:44] ? [16:35:48] Host of shields looks pretty good. So do arcane teleport and eldritch speed. [16:35:52] You mean druid/shaman instead of druid/invoker? [16:36:33] Eldritch Speed looks like it has the most potential to come in handy. [16:36:44] I mean Shaman/Invoker [16:36:45] Actually Host of Shields does. [16:37:15] Well he was always a druid. He's gonna wildshape into plant-zombie hounds. [16:37:27] Can you explain the stance thing? Because assuming I'm understanding it correctly, it sounds AWESOME. [16:38:12] Once you activate a stance it's always on until the end of the encounter, unless the power says otherwise, or you use another stance power. [16:38:48] That's what I thought. That seems pretty damned good. [16:38:54] It's a really effective way of increasing your survivability. Who wouldn't want +2 AC and Reflex [16:39:17] Since you're going to be in melee combat a lot, it's probably a good idea to take it. [16:39:33] I think I want that, but then I still need an artificer utility somewhere down the road, right? [16:39:34] * Demota nods' [16:39:47] Yeah but we'll just keep that in mind for later [16:39:56] Yeah. Just saying. [16:40:00] Alright, level 2 utility: Host of Shields [16:40:13] Level 3 encounter attack... [16:40:34] Either this one or your level 7 encounter attack has to be a swordmage power [16:41:59] I don't think I actually want it but dimensional vortex is hilarious. [16:42:40] What's that do again? [16:42:49] Hehehe yeah [16:43:12] You teleport an enemy that's attacking and make it hit one of it's allies. [16:43:26] It's an immediate interrupt where if an enemy you marked attacks an ally, you teleport it mid-attack so that it reappears next to any creature you want, making it's attack hit that creature. [16:43:49] It's actually really good [16:43:54] heee [16:44:07] The Aegis of Shielding bonus you wont get, but it's pretty sweet regardless. [16:44:21] What's the bonus? [16:45:15] Extra damage on the enemy's attack equal to your con [16:45:26] +modifier [16:45:58] Dual lightning strike looks pretty nice, since it lets me mark two targets at once. [16:46:01] Dual Lightning Strike is pretty nifty [16:46:15] Possibly. You have to hit to mark them [16:46:31] Indendiary Sword is awesome though. [16:46:32] Well yeah. [16:46:42] (Just imagine silver flame) [16:47:15] 2d6+int fire damage to all enemies in a 3x3 square [16:47:34] plus 5 extra fire damage if they make an attack that doesn't include you on their next turn [16:47:55] Oh man. I just noticed the 3x3 square on that. [16:51:07] I think I kinda like dual lightning strike better though. [16:54:00] * Mechazawa (rustangel@ip-114-188.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [16:56:06] re [16:56:21] Hahahaha, this podcast I'm listening to is talking about transcendant experiences at concerts, and each of them has to explain what they think transcendant means [16:57:02] "It's when you go beyond something. Like, when you go to a normal rock concert, the band usually doesn't turn a firehose filled with fake blood on the audience. When you go to a GWAR show, you move beyond that mundane barrier." [16:58:41] hahaha [16:59:18] thanks dem. How long til gametime? [16:59:58] I dunno [17:03:37] Yon: Alrighty, do you wanna look at artificer powers and wait for level 7 for your swordmage power? [17:03:42] I was waiting until Nova and Yon were finished [17:04:05] Since I could use the time to brainstorm some stuff [17:04:14] I wasn't planning to run until wednesday. :/ [17:05:09] I'm really wondering if Eve is vindictive enough to blame Paera for not healing Coldheart fast enough to stop him from killing himself :V [17:05:21] Seeing as how this is the Feywild and all [17:05:42] Well, you know, we almost run ourselves yanno [17:05:57] Yeah, I was looking at the artificer powers and I kind of like predatory shards, what do you think of that one? [17:06:04] Yeah. If you guys are up for some RP fucking around while I brainstorm stuff, we can start now [17:06:10] I'm good for that [17:06:15] That's what I figured was going ot happen anyway [17:06:26] Nova: I think we're going to learn that taking Eve into the Feywild is like taking an alcoholic to the liqour store [17:06:41] Predatory Shards? [17:06:48] hahaha [17:06:49] Hahaha yeah [17:07:15] I almost want to do it just because I like it when Paera talks. :V [17:08:15] Yon, that's a daily power [17:08:26] Isn't that what we're looking at now? [17:08:29] Or were you finished with your level 3 encounters? [17:08:54] Yeah, I went for dual lightning strike. [17:08:58] Gotcha [17:09:36] Hahaha, another event from the GWAR show was when one of the bandmates took a bet to put a NSYNC hat on and got punched in the head, so he had to wear it on his elbow. I really want to see GWAR before I get too old to love that shit [17:09:38] And I guess we can do some RP fucking around? [17:09:59] I don't think predatory shards works with a melee weapon [17:10:05] Alright, get IC and get in-channel when you guys are ready to play [17:10:22] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [17:11:28] Hahahah, GWAR cut the Pope in half on stage and fed him to a dinosaur. What a good band [17:12:39] hahah [17:13:17] * Mechazawa is now known as Xan [17:15:56] * Yon is now known as Paera [17:17:35] Nova: Huh, I guess you're right. It doesn't say it doesn't, but it implies it. [17:17:43] Yeah [17:18:10] The part about "burst in weapon's range" makes me think it doesn't work with melee weapons, because technically melee weapons don't HAVE a range. [17:18:34] If you wanted to use it with a melee attack I'd let you though. [17:19:03] But it'd just be exploding in your face. It only hits enemies so there's no danger of hurting yourself, but you'd be hogging one square of the attack's effect. [17:19:33] On the other hand, hitting an enemy with a sword so hard it explodes in his face IS something Loharath would do. :V [17:19:35] But also remember that Area attacks provoke OAs [17:19:36] hahaha [17:19:49] It's a burst though, not an area, right? [17:19:51] Cha: Oh, absolutely. [17:19:56] Area burst [17:20:07] Close is the opposite of Area, not burst [17:20:09] Oh, whoops [17:20:13] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [17:20:16] I'm just so used to Close Burst [17:20:18] yeah [17:20:28] Well, lemme look at swordmage dailies for level 5. I don't really care for the other artificer ones... [17:21:32] Enervating slash seems pretty awesome, especially for elites/bosses. [17:21:50] ooo, nifty [17:21:51] yeah [17:21:58] What'd he do again? Scream something about a Maimed God then smash his head on a rock? [17:21:59] Especially since it'll stack with the Weakened condition. [17:22:04] Yeah [17:22:06] Okay definitely taking that. [17:22:14] How many gods with physical deformities are there? Gruumsh and Vecna? [17:22:28] Maimed God is an honorific specifically for vecna [17:23:02] Eve blames Paera D: [17:23:03] ahahaha [17:23:45] http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3187904 Mikan's selling RPG books [17:25:33] I'm wondeirng about Dreaming Cities. I wonder if it's good [17:27:16] Dem, you might want to consider getting IC [17:27:26] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [17:27:27] Hurr [17:27:29] I assumed I already was [17:29:24] looks like it's for tri-stat and not specifically BESM. Shoudl be easy to convert though. http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=2109&it=1 [17:36:28] * Eve_Kasnora draws her weapons on Paera. "You've doomed them! Doomed them all! Leave my sight before I exact their justice upon you!" [17:36:45] Feywild + Eve = Crazy bitch [17:36:47] haha [17:39:12] Hahahah "Do you remember Woodstock 99, where they charged six dollars for a bottle of water, and then a bunch of people set the concession stands and trucks on fire, and it was like a race between corporations and contemporary teenagers to see who could betray the spirit of Woodstock faster and more thoroughly." [17:39:49] Hahahahahhahaha [17:40:03] Did that seriosuly happen? [17:40:07] Now look what you've gone and done, Eve. :colbert: [17:40:09] Yeah [17:40:18] Wow. That's awful. And hilarious. [17:41:00] Eve makes baby tieflings cry. [17:41:10] Entire team is babies. [17:41:13] What a great paladin. [17:42:55] Once, not if. Whoops. [17:43:28] Aahahahahah holy shit, I'm watching that video linked from Slacktivist where they claim that U2 is satanic and one of their 'proofs' is that they covered Helter Skelter. :laffo: [17:43:38] Hahahaha [17:44:36] man... mountain dew totally freaks me out [17:44:57] At least when I drink it from a non-colored container [17:45:12] It totally looks like carbonated piss, but it tastes really good :/ [17:46:27] Isn't pee usually darker? [17:46:45] I have less of a quandry regarding Mountain Dew, because it looks like carbonated piss and tastes like corn syrup [17:48:00] Dem: It's actually the exact color and hue of my piss after I drink a Red Bull. [17:48:17] That's good to know. D: [17:48:49] haha [17:49:12] So now I know not to drink any flat mountain dew at your house if you've been drinking Red Bull and feeling saucy [17:49:32] That you do, my friend. That you do. [17:49:52] I nominate that "empty of piss and vinegar" be substituted for "saucy". :| [17:50:17] ahaha [17:50:29] I like how Paera is the last one through the portal. [17:50:49] I wonder if Eve should immediate appologize to Paera once they're through [17:50:55] +ly [17:59:47] haha [18:00:25] any sort of skill check I can make here? [18:00:26] :D [18:00:34] Streetwise seems fairly appropriate [18:00:40] TO figure out where we are? [18:00:40] I have streetwise [18:00:53] 1d20+21 [18:00:53] Xan rolls 1D20+21: 11 +21 = 32 [18:01:07] "We're on the corner of 21st and Heironeous." [18:01:57] I like how Eve is still very clearly scared shitless by Baba Yaga, but handles it a lot better. [18:02:02] http://fi.somethingawful.com/customtitles/title-tristesse-2.gif "Chasing the dream." [18:03:14] You can tell that you're near the old town district in the northeast part of the city. It used to be where the proper temple complexes used to be (as opposed to annexes like the library) along with the seat of government [18:10:48] Hm [18:11:07] I just realized. If the Feywild makes Eve blow things out of proportion, what would the Shadowfell do? [18:11:33] Ahahahhah holy SHIT. [18:11:44] http://img.waffleimages.com/b9a40f77a3b8e06667c0098f782e4c8704b26102/3829359208_5093b89d6f.jpg Anonymous comics issue 1, Comiket edition [18:11:54] haha [18:12:31] Ahahahah the entire thing is a gigantic Eva parody, I think Gendo is Xenu. [18:12:46] hahahha [18:13:32] hahaha [18:14:28] gah [18:14:49] every good looking girl I see on this one dating website is a mother. [18:15:03] Maybe you should stop looking on milfdate.com [18:15:12] plentyoffish.com [18:15:27] plentyofmilf.com [18:16:41] That's what they should change their name too. [18:16:56] Cause there's seriously plenty of milf here. [18:17:26] They're all my age or younger though. Like Florida was so boring all they did was procreate. [18:18:23] Maybe Florida was so exciting they got caught up in the moment [18:18:34] Doubtful. [18:18:46] A way down from where? [18:18:49] Maybe the hurricanes and typhoons picked them up and dropped them on top of each other. [18:18:55] There are people under the age of 65 who actually live in Florida? :| [18:18:57] hahahahahha [18:19:11] I like Dem's hypothesis. [18:19:46] "So, you have a kid, right?" "Yup! He's my little sweetheart!" "So what's the deal? Broken condom or typhoon baby?" [18:20:03] hahaha [18:21:27] I mean seriously... like look at this girl [18:21:28] http://pics.plentyoffish.com/dating/64/39/SaintAugustine_personals_59495117.jpg [18:21:54] She's really pretty and she sounds like a pretty decent fit for me. Laid back, easy going, whatever. But she has a kid. [18:21:59] I am totally not read for that. [18:22:12] ready either. [18:22:30] The left side of her face is at a 30' angle from the right side of her face, and I'm not ready for *that* [18:22:45] ?? [18:22:56] Yeah, and the left side of her body's skin looks all bright [18:23:15] pff [18:23:30] Nova: Half her face just droops off at a pretty significant angle [18:23:31] haha [18:23:36] Maybe she had a stroke? [18:23:52] I'm not seeing it. [18:24:18] I could demarkate it with MS Paint, but that's too much effort to say some girl from the Internet has a weird face [18:24:18] I sort of imagine Xan like this now. http://www.theonion.com/content/news/nate_robinson_jumping_over_d wight [18:24:25] heh [18:29:19] I misread as Libarbarians. [18:30:28] hah [18:31:18] Hahahaha, I just had a really good idea [18:31:38] You should contact these women and tell them you're interested, but only if they put their kid up for adoption [18:33:10] hahaha [18:33:53] @_@ [18:34:31] A friend wants me to deisgn a game for the iPhone, then he'll handle the marketing stuff. [18:34:38] "Hi. I think you're amazing. We have so much in comon and I can see us being extremely happy together. But you have to lose the typhoon baby." [18:34:40] Can iPhones communicate directly with each other? [18:34:42] hahahahaha [18:35:03] I believe so [18:35:22] There's a commercial with an app to share friend info by bumping iPhones together. [18:35:47] And flicking photos from one iPhone to another. [18:35:53] That sounds homoerotic [18:36:25] Well it is an iPhone. [18:36:59] My father got an iPhone, and I'll be honest, I'm *super jealous* [18:37:05] Can an iphone detect if it's face-down, or does it only detect horizontal/vertical movement? [18:37:09] I want an iPhone too. :/ [18:37:19] He's started torrenting TV shows and watching them during his commute, I think [18:37:32] My sister got an iPod Touch as a graduation gift from a family friend, and it looks super convenient. [18:37:45] I want an iTouch, yeah [18:37:50] That family friend, as a graduation gift, got me the blackest, most metal gift of all. [18:37:52] Really like the spiraling tower fight idea eh? [18:37:53] For reference, this isn't, like, Sharn tall. But it is unusually tall for a Nerathi city [18:38:02] Ah okay [18:38:02] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySGMnmiqlss&fmt=18 [18:38:11] Is it Manhattan tall? [18:38:20] Or Rome tall? [18:38:28] Um. [18:38:52] Isn't Sharn shorter than Manhattan? And I think Rome topped out at maybe four stories? [18:39:02] Sharn is three times the height of Manhattan. [18:39:14] Sharn's nearly a mile tall. [18:39:27] Well, I guess that's because New York is just another bullshit town. :colbert: [18:39:38] I was seeing the buildings as maybe six or eight stories tall [18:39:43] Gotcha [18:40:09] Thats pretty impressive for medeival stuff that isn't just a huge barrel vault church [18:40:14] Still pretty goddamn tall for medieval stuff, yeah [18:40:34] Yeah [18:40:45] If anyone can make an arcana check to detect magic, you're able to tell that the buildings aren't being held up entirely by the laws of physics [18:41:00] Sure thing. [18:41:15] 1d20+13 [18:41:15] Eilenia rolls 1D20+13: 4 +13 = 17 [18:47:44] Oh crap, the vibrating tile. [18:47:51] I don't have the book or the candle and I forgot what the third thing is [18:47:58] The bell, that's it [18:48:06] Haha [18:48:26] I'm seeing that prison escape fight from chrono trigger [18:48:43] The Dino Tank? [18:48:50] yes [18:48:54] Oh man, I want a dino tank now [18:50:03] Dem: It's less of a tactile vibration, though it can probably barely be felt. [18:50:03] Where are you seeing a Dino Tank? [18:50:35] * Eilenia nods [18:59:18] * Xan (rustangel@ip-114-188.atvci.net) Quit (roc.esper.net excelsior.esper.net) [18:59:29] * Xan (rustangel@ip-114-188.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [19:03:38] Magnet Beam - At-Will. :| [19:09:25] Magnet Beam? [19:11:19] Mega Man. You know. [19:11:24] It lets you cheat vanishing tiles [19:13:06] Oh? [19:13:22] When you fire it, it creates a horizontal beam you can walk on, and it sticks around for like, ahlf a minute [19:13:46] This puzzle was a lot better in my head, before I realized I'd have needed to write a song and a music-playing flash app to really make it work. :V [19:15:26] heh [19:16:36] mthen lets just say we solve it [19:16:47] Or skill challenge it [19:19:08] A skill challenge might have been good, except I don't think anything interesting would have happened as a result of failure [19:19:20] Well, we could drown in the lake. :| [19:24:28] haha [19:25:32] I guess all the noise could have attracted monsters, but then we'd have to have a big fight, and I kinda don't want to deal with supplementary fights right now. :| [19:26:50] Hahahah, I love the most recent Elemental blog update [19:26:51] So BETA 1 will be fun then right? NO. It’s going to be HORRIBLE actually. At least, for the first month and a half it’ll be represent such a dense level of crapitude that it actually has its own detectable level of gravity. [19:26:51] The alpha testers could attest to this right now except they’ve all lost consciousness (the smart ones anyway) due to passing out from it. [19:27:02] hahahaha [19:32:44] The eye of Ioun is just the icon of Ioun shown in the PHB [19:33:02] It's sort of a stylized eye inside a crook-looking thing [19:33:52] I like that Eve is just freaked out by anything that has an eye, though. She's gonna love Beholders in a few levels. :| [19:34:13] haha [19:34:21] And Fomorians [19:35:01] And OMACs. :| [19:35:29] Hahaha [19:35:30] OMAC? [19:36:04] Oh man, once you guys get closer to finding out the deal with Vecna, you're going to have to deal with OMALs. (One Man Arcane Liches) [19:36:17] Dem: Brother Eye's minions. [19:36:20] Cha: Ahahahahahaha [19:37:05] (Or, prior to Infinite Crisis, just a really silly looking Jack Kirby character) [19:38:22] http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/8039/omac.jpg Seriously, look at the guy. [19:39:06] What's an OMAC? [19:39:21] Besides a giant stone head that dispenses gameshow rules and information on prizes. [19:39:57] In Infinite Crisis, they were people who were infected with a nanotech virus [19:40:51] That, when Brother Eye decided to kill a superhero, would take over and reconfigure their body, making them into killing machines [19:41:21] (Brother Eye was a satellite that Batman built after Batman decided that he hasn't spent enough time doing stupid, douchey things) [19:43:42] haha [19:43:56] Way to go Batman [19:45:21] And then they gave them their own miniseries written by one of the worst writers in comics which pretty much made everyone fucking hate them with a burning passion. :V [19:45:55] hhahaha [19:46:20] So OMACs were... cyborg superhero zombies? [19:46:48] So, uh, given that I'm saying it so much, how the fuck is cyllendar spelled? :saddowns: [19:47:04] cylander? [19:47:12] SIGHLANDER [19:47:23] :psylander: [19:47:24] (s'how the word always looks in my head) [19:47:31] I can't searh for it in a dictionary because there's no dictionary that guesses what you meant when you fuck up spelling words [19:47:34] Cylinder [19:47:38] Thanks [19:47:42] Well, you could search on google [19:47:45] That looks right [19:47:48] They like to offer spelling corrections [19:47:53] heh [19:50:19] Oh crap, lurker below. [19:50:26] Check for ropers and mimics. [19:50:34] And ragamoffyns. :( [19:50:48] Alright, cha, anything about this chamber different? also, GT up? [19:50:50] Wait, why is Xan dying? [19:51:25] [16:09:21] 71.202.41.240 port 6812 [19:51:37] Xan's dying because his white stuff is leaking out [19:51:57] Why is he dripping his white stuff all over the place? That stuff is precious. [19:52:39] Different than what? [19:52:52] http://www.destructoid.com/littlebigplanet-gets-a-game-of-the-year-edition-144631.phtml [19:53:50] http://gamepolitics.com/2009/08/17/report-xbox-360-failure-rate-pegged-54 [19:54:27] http://www.destructoid.com/preview-starcraft-ii-single-player-144445.phtml [19:54:29] If you mean different than how it was before, it's colder, and also, strangely, much better organized. [19:55:09] Also, it was packed with people before, though that might just be an effect of a ritualist and high priest being murdered and people getting out [19:55:23] heh [19:55:50] I'm really freaked out by that eye now, but also curious why proximity has anything to do about it [19:55:50] Starcraft 2's single player is sounding awesome [19:57:37] aaaaaa [19:57:38] My favorite level, though, was one that basically amounted to a zombie movie. You arrive on a planet to find tons of abandoned buildings, all infected, and no signs of life. You start to go exterminate the buildings, but suddenly, night falls, and all the infected Terrans come out of hiding and start attacking you. You have to set up a base and barricades and defend them at night, and then use your limited daytime to clear out all the infested buildings. [19:59:40] Here we go, Elena taking the initiative again. :| [20:02:39] http://www.destructoid.com/phoenix-wright-had-been-planned-for-tatsunoko-vs-capcom-144287.phtml Aw. [20:03:17] :( [20:03:50] Cha: Does the matt stop moving when I move away from the pillar? [20:04:23] Nope [20:05:09] huh [20:06:56] Is it coming toward me? [20:06:56] * Eve sticks her finger under the mat. It latches onto her. The mat moves forward, crushing her finger between the mat and the ground. Soon, her entire arm is spread out flat on the ground. Soon it will reach her shoulder. Then her head. [20:07:18] durrr durrrr durrrr [20:07:22] Nope, it's moving away, towards one of the arches [20:07:38] Someone else take the init here. :/ [20:09:47] I'll do it again. [20:16:54] This is admittedly working out better than Eve's plan. (yell at the mat) [20:17:25] You know I'm just picturing all of us slowly and carefully edging after the coin, and then Elena's out in front chasing after it at top speed and totally "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY :V " [20:17:51] Hahahaha [20:18:19] hahaha [20:19:23] hahahahaha [20:21:37] Casting Light on the coin. [20:24:44] There may be movement down there, but i [20:24:55] Oh, whoops [20:27:08] Do I need an Arcana check? [20:27:34] If you want, yeah [20:27:43] Can I just say I know what it is? :| [20:27:45] 1d20+13 [20:27:45] Eilenia rolls 1D20+13: 18 +13 = 31 [20:28:38] It's the Shadowfell. [20:28:43] :toot: [20:31:36] and I'm going to pretend he said "uninitiated" [20:32:23] That'd make sense, but I imagine both are entirely applicable. [20:32:44] "Her ways are mysterious to *us*, so how are you going to have any idea figuring that shit out?" [20:33:54] hahaha [20:34:37] Just read through the starcraft 2 preview [20:34:44] CAN'T EFFING WAIT [20:34:57] :D [20:40:04] oooh [20:40:23] the SMT Persona game for the PSP is a remake of the first game? I thought it was just a new one [20:40:41] Yeah, it's a remake of the first game [20:40:59] I wonder if they'll rerelease both Persona 2s [20:41:10] I hope so [20:41:12] Is it a total remake or just a port? [20:41:18] It's a total remake [20:41:25] Oh wow, awesome [20:41:27] Now with 99.9% less mangled localization! [20:41:35] YES [20:41:35] Mark danced crazy [20:41:49] Mark danced crazy? [20:41:50] That's why it's not 100%. :V [20:42:16] Heh [20:42:27] It's a line that they aren't going to retranslate. [20:42:32] It's the Spoony Bard of SMT [20:42:37] That reminds me of how every re-localization off FF4, including the DS remake, includes "You spoony bard!" [20:42:43] HIVEMIND [20:45:36] I like how Eve describes an Eladrin as mad. [20:45:51] It's like describing a halfling as short [20:46:37] hahaha [20:47:55] Some halflings are shorter than others. :colbert: [20:48:01] That is true [20:50:57] Persona... Preordered! [20:51:00] Man, after figuring out the whole 'changing names to stay within the GSL' thing, I kind of want to write up Mabahut as an evil bizarro to Bahamut. :| [20:51:02] Grats [20:51:06] hahahahaha [20:51:59] * Xan (rustangel@ip-114-188.atvci.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [20:53:42] What're teh D&D settings that are worth noting/ Greyhawk, FR, Eberron, Spelljammer, Dark Sun, Planescape? [20:53:46] Oh, and Ravenloft [20:54:05] Arguably Dragonlance depending on how you qualify worth noting [20:54:16] Oh, yeah, Dragonlance [20:54:42] Dragonlance isn't worth noting. [20:55:04] It's old generic fantasy, even moreso than FR. [20:55:14] Huh [20:55:15] At least FR has some political depth to it [20:55:20] Why do people keep talking about it like it's so special? [20:55:29] FR has a lot of depth in places you wouldn't expect. :} [20:55:38] Cause it had a really good opening trilogy. [20:55:52] Hahaha [20:56:08] Thanks Dem. I wanted to make a depth/:} joke but couldn't figure out how. [20:58:04] How much damage would a thrown Eladrin do? I figure i'ts a Heavy Thrown Improvised Weapon. [20:59:21] MAN DARTS [20:59:26] hahaha [20:59:51] I don't think we have a bag of holding or a haversack [20:59:55] If I crit with a man dart, does it get more powerful? [21:01:20] Wow. The Mask of the Red Death setting is called Gothic Earth [21:01:40] I know what they mean, but the first thing that comes to mind is that it's where everyone goes to Gothic Dance. [21:01:53] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Eilenia [21:02:40] Mask of Red Death? [21:03:45] Mask of the Red Death is a D&D setting that takes place in Gothic Earth, a setting that's Earth in the 1890s, where there's a dark and terrible force that's on the rise. [21:04:01] It has the Ravenloft logo on it, even though aside from the horror theme, it's got nothing to do with Ravenloft. [21:04:10] Huh. [21:04:41] S'probably when Ravenloft was published by a 3rd party in 3e [21:04:58] Nope. This was an Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Second Edition product. [21:04:58] Wait [21:05:03] Oh okay [21:05:09] Oh, I spelled it wrong. [21:05:13] It's MASQUE of the Red Death [21:05:18] Haha [21:06:12] That's actually a fairly important difference, since a masque is, like, a masquerade or a party. [21:06:34] MASK*DEMASQUE [21:06:44] hahaha [21:06:47] When was it published? It kinda sounds like something TSR might have done to compete with White Wolf back in the day [21:07:07] 1994 [21:07:19] Yeah, that sounds about the right time period [21:08:13] * Paera is now known as Yon [21:08:40] * Eve_Kasnora is now known as NovaSeaker [21:08:42] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [21:08:54] "The back roads and ancient houses of New England are infused with the ghosts and spirits of the restless dead." That sound about right? [21:09:01] * Eilenia is now known as Demota [21:09:16] "ancient houses of new england"? [21:09:24] A hundred years is ancient? [21:10:06] * Xan (rustangel@ip-118-219.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [21:10:27] * Xan is now known as Mechazawa [21:10:34] Argh, sorry that took so long [21:10:38] There've been houses in New England dating back to the 1500s or so [21:10:48] It also says Dungeon Masters will find countless adventure ideas based on e lore of the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 or the Revolutionary War. [21:10:48] My town has a few from the early 1600s, even [21:11:05] I really like "lore" applied to the Revolutionary War [21:11:07] So what happened? [21:12:00] One moemnt while I snip the log [21:12:53] The ghost basically sent us on a quest to rescue an Ioun worshiper from an Orcus cult [21:13:08] To proove that we had good intentions, despite bringing his murderer into his temple. [21:13:23] And the corpse of the guy who ordered the hit [21:13:36] Now we gotta go rescue the worshipper. [21:13:52] yeah but that part I was less clear on why he was unhappy about it. [21:13:55] Eve wants to figure out if there's a better place to store Coldheart's corpse. [21:14:17] For some reason she isn't considering cutting it into easier to manage parts. :| [21:14:19] It's not really that important to her [21:14:27] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masque_of_the_Red_Death Interesting [21:14:58] Nova: If you were a priest, would you be particularly happy if people dragged a corpse into your concecrated temple? [21:15:06] I need to get to bed..I taught the masque of red death last semester [21:15:11] heh [21:15:15] Night [21:15:15] I'd be more dismayed that peeved. [21:15:17] I'm teaching the cask of amontillado this time around. [21:15:19] than [21:15:20] Night [21:15:24] Night Rustmeister [21:16:03] Yeah, but I figure that being a ghost, he's kind of operating at a level of detatchment. [21:16:30] Yeah. And we're in the Shadowfell [21:16:36] Everything's more muted and Elena hates it. [21:16:38] If he was still alive, it might be more of a "WHAT THE FUCK WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET THAT OUT OF HERE", but now that he's dead and in the Shadowfell it's probably hard to muster that amount of offense [21:18:21] Haha [21:20:20] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masque_of_the_Red_Death_%28Ravenloft%29 The list of classes is absolutely :psyduck: [21:20:32] Yeah [21:20:43] Oh, durr, I forgot to mention that Eilenia sensed magic between the towers. [21:20:53] I got Spelljammer, Masque, Council of Wyrms, and Ghostwalk if you want any of those [21:20:56] (Basically, there was a platform of force between them) [21:21:05] ooh [21:21:20] I think it's kinda interesting that some of the ideas here are like a precursor to d20 Modern [21:21:28] Yeah [21:21:31] Like "treasure" that isn't literal treasure [21:24:23] Oh, Nova, be sure to poke your buddies about Nesonarn [21:25:31] Lee and Josh? [21:25:39] yeah [21:25:42] kayo [21:26:00] Oh, it's Monday. I should check Dragon [21:26:47] PLaying Githzerai [21:27:53] Hey, 28th [21:27:54] DRA: Deities & Demigods: [21:27:54] Bahamut [21:28:21] Maybe Eilenia could enchant Coldheart and Eve could wear him draped over her shoulders like a cape. :V [21:28:35] hahaha [21:28:55] Dem: Not as good as Deities and Demigods: Mabahut :( [21:29:13] :( [21:31:58] heh [21:32:07] I'm really excited for that article. [21:33:58] heh [21:51:36] I'm really excited about Mabahut too. :| [21:53:08] I keep reading that as Mahabut. [21:53:18] Mahabut? [21:53:32] Instead of Mabahut. [21:53:39] aah [21:53:51] Actually, now that I pronounced it outloud, it reminds me of Wabafette. [21:54:00] haha [21:54:07] ( Wobuffet ) End of #Exalted buffer Tue Aug 18 13:30:23 2009
