Start of #Exalted buffer: Mon Dec 14 23:06:58 2009 01[13:26:23] What kind of RPG? Western or Japanese, or it doesn't matter? [13:27:17] I 'm fine with RPG or RTS, actually, just something complex. 01[13:28:46] I recommend Persona 3 or Persona 4. Probably the most intelligent jRPGs I've seen. We're all huge fans. If you get Persona 3, make sure to get the FES version. 01[13:29:03] RTS... well, I assume you've already played Company of Heroes or Dawn of War? [13:29:16] Yes. [13:29:17] I [13:29:25] 'm looking for a pc game, more specifically. 01[13:29:58] Hm. Have you played X-Com recently? It's not realtime, but it's a nice complex strategy game 01[13:48:45] http://www.edge-online.com/news/eidos-confirms-thief-4 [13:48:53] I've played it enough, heh 01[13:49:00] Maybe it's time for another go! [13:49:14] Nah 01[13:49:34] Spelunky is nice, bthough it doens't fall under those categories... hm [13:54:06] I'd focus on this Eberron game and be plenty occupied if I knew I coul d run it. [13:54:11] So what's the deal with Tuesdays? 01[13:54:29] Yon can't play on Tuesdays, and neither can Charles. [13:54:57] Trying to think of other days I can run things on. 01[13:59:33] Mondays are busy, tuesdays are busy, wednesdays are busy, thursdays are busy. 01[13:59:49] And Nova can only play two games a week 01[13:59:54] And he's already in Sharn and Odal [14:00:53] Guess I'm not going to run one then. [14:01:02] I just wish sharn or odal would actually run 01[14:01:14] The best solution might be to alternate with Odal if Charles is feeling unablke to run. 01[14:01:26] Though there are a few other game ideas competing for that space [14:04:02] Oh? 01[14:04:24] Nesonarn, the Modules series, and maybe HeroQuest. [14:05:46] Indeed. Hrmm. 01[14:06:14] We'll have to discuss it when more people are around [14:07:02] I just wish some of these games would actually run. 01[14:07:17] They usually do. 01[14:07:31] I wish they'd run more often lately too, though. 01[14:08:03] Though I guess I can sort aunderstand why they don't run. 01[14:08:13] I prorposed swapping Odals' time with Youkai's, but Cha raids on Thursdays [14:15:04] Sharn's been running. It just missed a week. [14:15:16] And you got into a car accident and missed the one before that :/ 01[14:15:22] :( [14:15:46] Yeah..that sucked. [14:16:28] I was reading about the principalities today. It would be a perfect place to start, sailing into mists and getting lost in time. 01[14:16:46] What're the principalities? 01[14:16:56] Aside from surprisingly hard to spell. 01[14:17:11] Type, rather 01[14:17:16] My fingers keep going to the wrong keys. [14:18:26] They're basically a series of dotted islands in the northeastern coasts of Khorvaire ruled by pirate princes. [14:25:39] Yeah, the Lhazzar Principalities [14:26:07] Dude, I cannot tell you how awesome it is to hear someone *else* in this channel talk about stuff from Eberron. 01[14:26:10] Why are you making it even harder to type, Nova? :( [14:26:40] Because Keith Baker hates you. [14:27:05] There are a lot of small, dotted islands there, and some historical shit happened, namely the war with Galifar, that I can go back to. [14:27:31] You mean Galifar's uniting campaign? [14:27:33] I like the idea of the characters being lost in time on a boat. [14:27:36] Or the Last War? [14:27:40] Heh [14:27:43] The uniting campaign. [14:27:47] That's cool. [14:27:53] I forgot about that, actually. [14:28:06] There's also Karrn the Conqueror, who ultimately failed, but tried the same thing. [14:28:24] (I belive Galifar is actually a descendant of his) [14:28:32] The pcs would be the crew of a ship as a part of the fleet, taking part in some naval flanking maneuver that takes them dangerously close to the mists.. 06[14:28:42] * NovaSeaker nods. 01[14:29:10] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd1hqcbEuMM&feature=related @_@ [14:29:11] As the pirate princes try to remain in power in the region, and Galifar's growing fleet of ships tries to take naval action. [14:29:24] Sounds pretty cool [14:29:46] High seas campaigns are a lot of fun to play in. [14:31:14] The early parts of my college game were set in Lhazzar [14:31:42] That paladin DMPC I had follow them around and eventually reveal himself as a red dragon was the captain of their ship. [14:32:37] Huh [14:33:11] Well, I can do a lot, thematically, with an open-seas campaign. [14:33:23] Especially if the characters don't know where the hell they are. [14:33:43] I can have them sail into the mist and come out anywhere in the world. [14:34:04] They may not even figure out that they're lost in time for awhile. 02[14:38:54] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) 03[14:40:16] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [14:40:35] Yeah, there's a lot for it. 03[14:42:01] * Darkheart (lol@fl-67-235-251-234.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) has joined #Exalted 01[14:42:41] Hi DH [14:44:51] Hail.

[14:45:51] I've been using Team Battlevag, so... Female!Shepard, Ashley and Tali. [14:45:57] I'll prolly swap Ashley with Wrex. 01[14:46:10] Wrex is awesome. 01[14:46:12] Ashley is dumb. 01[14:46:19] She is a racist Space Christian. [14:46:23] Yep. 01[14:46:31] Nothing wrong with a Christian character in space. 01[14:46:38] But she seems to think it's weird to be a Space Christian? 02[14:47:50] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [14:48:04] I don't like space Christians. Never did since Alpha Centauri. 01[14:48:37] Well, she's less Space Christian and more Space Inquisitor. 03[14:48:59] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted 01[14:49:39] re [14:50:53] wb 01[14:53:40] http://j883376.mirror.waffleimages.com/waffleimages/files/2c/2c44ca1708e5872a6f17731f39268155a246a73d. jpg 02[15:00:58] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) 03[15:01:30] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted 02[15:06:09] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) 03[15:11:08] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted 02[15:15:48] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [15:18:29] Hahahahah [15:18:34] http://img.waffleimages.com/5b861a3acc6ffceb3a4c86406b431fddbb20fe8c/Rifts.jpg Pictured: A battle between two average starting PC's. 01[15:18:43] haaaaaahahahahaha [15:19:45] Man, I loved that post about Siembada or however the fuck you spell it.

You've been connected for an hour [20:04:55] I never followed up on that online poll where they were looking for a new flag for the UK [20:05:03] I have? Sweet 01[20:05:28] You found the Kamina thing? [20:05:51] Well I knew about it, where someone submitted a Gurren-Lagannized union jack [20:06:01] I didn't know it won with 55% of the vote. :V [20:06:09] (or won at all, really) 01[20:06:21] haha [20:15:44] Dem: I don't think Persona missed an opportunity. The Velvet Room attendants are peoples' animuses/animas 01[20:15:57] Oh! True [20:16:34] R... really? 01[20:16:50] Well, it's different depending on the gender of the person [20:17:10] I always wondered what the fuck they were. [20:17:16] That's my interpertation [20:17:32] In P2, when you went in for the first time, your party had a man and two women [20:17:38] And Igor's attendants were a woman and two men [20:17:40] That makes some sense. Still dunno how they can leave the velvet room though. [20:17:54] P3 and P4's MCs each had a girl 06[20:17:58] * NovaSeaker nods. [20:18:05] And Minako in P3P has a guy 01[20:18:11] Teodore [20:18:14] Though she can choose elizabeth. [20:18:25] Maybe she's a... [20:18:27] DOUBLE GIRL 01[20:18:33] hahahah [20:18:35] You... you... DOUBLE GIRL [20:20:23] Plus Margaret referring to Elizabeth as her sister obfuscates things. [20:20:46] Unless Minato and Souji's inner selves are related. :V [20:21:10] 'Sister' might mean something entirely different for psychological figments 01[20:21:14] Yeah. 01[20:21:19] And they're both Wildcards. 01[20:28:07] Hey Charles, any idea about how work might be for you tomorrow? 01[20:28:50] In terms of tiredness or whatever 01[20:28:57] Basiclally, "Can Odal run tomrorow?" [20:29:00] None at all. [20:29:10] I don't know what work's like until I get there 01[20:29:40] ALright [20:31:00] Hey, Nova, you know what's a really good board game? [20:31:04] Battlestar Galactica [20:31:23] Really? [20:31:33] Yeah. [20:31:38] I kinda tend to stay away from liscenced property board games. [20:31:54] It's sort of a co-op game, except it's not. It's hard to explain without referencing other things. [20:32:01] Cool [20:32:12] I don't really have a good game store in Jacksonville :/ [20:32:20] At least, not close. [20:32:29] Basically, the crew of Galactica is trying to keep the ship stocked with enough food and feul to get to Earth, keep morale up, and keep the last humans alive. [20:33:02] Every turn, someone moves, takes an action, and then draws a bad card that describes a crisis (Most of them are taken from the show, like the missing detonators, or the water venting into space) [20:33:20] Players play action cards to avert these crisises, going by color-coding [20:33:33] But one player, determined by random draw at the start of the game, is a Cylon [20:34:05] And they're trying to make the humans l ose by running them out of one of those four resources [20:34:13] Hah, cool [20:34:27] What makes it really cool is how the game handles the mid-season plot twist and the politics of the show [20:34:38] Hah [20:34:47] Once you're halfway to Earth, a new set of loyalty cards are passed out [20:34:58] So people who used to be humans might suddenly be Cylons [20:35:02] Hahaha [20:35:12] That's awesome [20:35:12] And they're not trying to make Galactica fail while keeping it secret from other players [20:35:25] And there are two positions, Admiral and President [20:35:43] Admiral can only be taken in coups, President can have regular elections, handled as an action card challenge [20:36:02] Can they fix elections? [20:36:02] A lot of the disaster cards say they can only be handled by the President or Admiral [20:36:12] Cause as far as I recall, Roslin was never elected. :V [20:36:25] Well, the way action card challenges work is there are five colors of action cards. [20:36:51] Leadership (Green), Politics (Yellow), Piloting (Red), Tactics (Purple), and Engineering (Green) [20:37:00] In any challenge, 2-4 of those will work [20:37:11] Any ones not of the workable colors will count against the total you need to beat [20:37:59] So things like being the president or getting out of the brig are interesting because they're challenges that take up cards you might need when Cylon saboteurs are about to destroy your food supply 06[20:38:14] * NovaSeaker nods. [20:38:22] This sounds really interesting. [20:38:29] A lot of the disaster cards say they can only be handled by the President or Admiral. [20:38:42] Like, someone draws them, there's a line of text that says that, and they have to pass them off [20:38:50] I could probably really get into boardgames, but I don't have enough friends to play them with. :V [20:39:00] And then the President or Admiral has to make a choice without telling other people what the options were [20:39:24] What about the person that saw the card first? [20:39:27] Before passing it off [20:39:27] So there's a LOT of suspicion regarding the leaders, because one of the choices you can make is almost always worse than the others [20:39:38] They're not supposed to look, but I imagine it's meant to breed suspicion [20:39:44] heh [20:40:05] Like "Why did the President go to get the survivors off of Caprica when he knew we were low on food and feul as-is?" [20:42:09] yeah [20:42:16] Thats really interesting [20:42:23] Yeah 01[20:42:24] This does sond pretty cool. [20:42:28] Cause just from the description, it really follows the tone of the show a lot. [20:42:38] There are also events that let, for instance, the Admiral usurp power from the President [20:42:42] Like, even the "guy saw the choices before passing it off" thing. [20:42:48] Which is a HUGE fucking 'IS HE A CYLON' alarm 01[20:42:58] Ugh. I think I hit another one of those gloomy streaks. :/ [20:43:04] Haha, yeah 01[20:43:13] I hope I get over this soon. 01[20:43:20] How much is that board game? [20:43:41] It's by FFG, so maybe $50 06[20:43:49] * Demota nods [20:44:05] Maybe I should just start awkwardly hanging out in the game shops we have here. [20:44:13] Which seems like a lot for a board game, but like we say in the store, it's cheaper than a new video game [20:44:17] Which have unfriendly staff. [20:44:35] I bet there are some Jacksonville Gamers meetup groups or something 01[20:44:42] Can you look on Yelp for game shop reviews? [20:44:46] There are, but I don't trust them [20:45:04] Cause I went to a couple, and everyone was at least ten years older than me [20:45:16] Except for one guy, who was maybe only 5, and he was a douche. 01[20:45:21] I'm used to $50+ for board games. They fascinate me, but like... I honestly don't get as much play time out of them as video games. 01[20:45:34] Dude, he's 5. He'll mature. :/ [20:45:46] Hardy har har :P 01[20:45:52] ... oh. 01[20:45:54] Oooh. 01[20:45:56] Okay. [20:46:01] haha 01[20:46:18] I was honestly really baffled by why you'd call a 5-year old a douche [20:46:22] hahahaha [20:46:39] Well you know, kids can be cruel. 01[20:46:47] They are, yeah, but you aren't supposed to call them out on it [20:47:12] Oh fuck that. I'd totally call my kid out on it if he was a bully. 01[20:47:43] Would you call your kid out on it if he was a cylon? [20:47:47] No. 01[20:48:01] You realize that makes you look pretty suspicious [20:48:02] I'd shelter him and love him because cylons are people too. ;_; [20:48:40] That reminds me of Helio [20:48:48] He was probably my favorite character in the show. [20:49:07] Because he was an utterly good guy. [20:49:48] And he was interesting because of his goodness, because he was the first to realize that Cylons were more than machines. 01[20:50:04] Charles, you still around? [20:50:14] So his morals at first went against the public opinion, but he stuck to his guns. 06[20:50:20] * Demota nods [20:50:43] I'm still here, yeah [20:50:44] And I think he got one of the truly happy endings in the show. [20:50:59] Also, I totally read that as "He's five years old, and he's a douche" [20:51:08] haha 01[20:51:09] hahhaha 03[20:51:12] * Retrieving #Exalted modes... 03[20:51:22] * Demota changes topic to '#Exalted: You relieved yourself! Your condition became "A 5-year old douche" | Sharn II: Player Slot Open! Inquire Within!| Odal's Fen: hecho en mexico | Dem's GT IP: 71.202.41.240 / Port 6812 | Youkai Thursdays 5 Pacific | http://demota.sandwich.net/rpg |TV screens means soft core gay erotica' [20:51:27] hahahaha [20:51:43] Oh, the thing that got me in the game was that I was sitting next to my boss's wife, who was playing Boomer 01[20:51:57] Cool [20:51:58] Who, IIRC, can after a bad card, look at the next one and choose wether to put it on the top or bottom 01[20:52:03] Huh. [20:52:21] And I was playing Roslin, whose special thing is she can look at two, and choose which to play and which to put ont he bottom [20:52:38] ....interesting [20:52:41] I kind of drifted off, and my boss's wife put a really good one on top that could have really benefitted us if played right 01[20:52:58] I've never seen the show and I wanna check this out [20:53:01] And I picked up that one and a HUGE fuckoff Cylon attack, and played the attack [20:53:16] hahaha [20:53:17] And I got called out on being a toaster :( [20:53:29] Cause of course you were 01[20:53:29] :( [20:53:31] Yeah 01[20:53:50] What happens if the cylon is exposed? [20:54:08] How would that have played differently if your boss's wife hadn't seen the good choice? [20:54:24] Like, is there something worse than a huge fuckoff cylon attack? [20:54:29] So I stuck around for a few rounds, using my extra cards to fuck with events and causing a coup (Giving the Admiral title from a cylon I wasn't aware of to a human :() and then revealed myself [20:54:49] Well, once you lose your resources, it's VERY hard and risky to get them back [20:55:00] But a Cylon attack can be ended by doin g a jump [20:55:08] Ah [20:55:25] Dem: Basically, there are several 'states' of exposedness [20:55:42] So if they didn't know, they'd just assume you picked the lesser of two evils. Or assume thats one possibility while still suspecting you of being a cylon because thats the nature of the game. [20:55:46] Like, there are cards that let you look at someone else's loyalty cards [20:55:47] Yeah [20:55:59] And having looked, you can make accusations [20:56:06] But everyone is accusing everyone at all times anyways [20:56:34] There are also cards that let you reveal someone. 06[20:56:39] * Demota nods [20:56:57] If someone is, for reals revealed, there's a Cylon section of the board, where they can do things that fuck with people for the rest of the game [20:57:13] A Cylon can also choose to reveal themselves. 01[20:57:16] huh 01[20:58:01] http://castlevania.wikia.com/wiki/Akumajo_Dracula:_Kabuchi_no_Tsuisoukyoku Oh, hey. A Castlevania novel published taking place one year after Dawn of Sorrow. Japan only. [20:58:07] If they do that and they're not in the brig, they can do something big and splashy (I could put someone in the sick bay and make them discard five cards) before going to the cylon section 01[20:58:37] huh 01[20:58:41] Cool [20:58:41] The brig is a place where you can get sent by the military leaders, which only lets you play one card to effect events and you can't draw bad-stuff cards while you're there [20:58:52] Getting out is a challenge 01[20:58:53] So if they think they're about to be exposed, then they can make a fancy exit [20:58:58] Yeah [20:59:14] Which means that if someone is suspected of being a Cylon, it's in peoples' best interests to lock them in the brig 01[21:00:46] Makes sense [21:02:47] Which can lead to situations like on the show where, IIRC, Rosalin was locked up for a while even though she wasn't really a threat 01[21:03:32] huh 01[21:03:52] I really kinda want to see this show. Though I've got no idea what I'd do even if I did get my hands on it. 01[21:04:17] Like, you know when I said a bit ago that I wasn't really in the mood for WoW? It's kinda expanded to where I'm not in hte mood for anything. :/ 01[21:04:57] LPs, reading, watching anime, watching movies, doing work around the house... 01[21:05:04] I'm doing proofreading, but it's going at a snail's pace. [21:06:08] I think everyone owes it to themselves to watch the show, but it's not exactly a light watch [21:06:20] AAnd from what I read, the finale is dicks-in-ears retarded 01[21:06:24] Aw. 01[21:07:32] I remember getting a friend a BSG DVD a while ago, some standalone movie thing 01[21:07:45] The clerk said it was made so people who don't know the show would be able to watch it just fine 01[21:07:53] Except he said it was confuisng and really slow-paced [21:08:00] It might have been the miniseries that kicked it off? [21:08:08] Which is really good on its own merits 01[21:08:17] Razor [21:08:19] Because it kind of encapsulates what BSG is about. [21:08:20] Aaah 01[21:10:42] Was Razor a good choice? [21:11:23] I don't think I watched it, myself [21:11:32] But there are still parts of the original miniseries I love 06[21:11:54] * Demota nods [21:13:08] Just because, like, so much of BSG is all about "This is a TERRIBLE idea, but it needs to be done" [21:13:36] And the miniseries has a bunch of moment that encapsulate that perfectly 01[21:19:10] I guess I might take a look at the series once... I dunno. 01[21:19:17] I definitely do intent to look at the series someday, though [21:20:50] I think my favorite part of the night might have been when I accidentally called Gaius Balthar Balthazar. And me, my boss, and my co-worker's boyfriend all had the same idea at the same time. [21:21:03] A co-op game about the Last Supper, where one of the players is a traitor 01[21:21:07] Hahaha. 01[21:21:09] That could be cool [21:21:33] (My first suggesion, while interesting, is probably unworkable. It was a game about the three wise men trying to find the Baby Jesus, except one of them was a traitor. :|) [21:21:57] I kind of wonder how you could do a game about that, though. I imagine it couldn't just take place during the last supper. [21:22:18] A board game about being Christ's deciples would be interesting, but I can't imagine how it could even *play* 01[21:22:28] I'll tell you how it'd play. 01[21:22:29] German. 01[21:22:54] Attempting a hard line simulation approach isn't going to work. 01[21:23:04] Mechanics'll have to be abstracted to hell. [21:23:22] Yeah, but my big question is, like, what would the win condition even *be*? [21:23:36] Like, the Apostles were basically these dudes who hung around with this really awesome guy 01[21:23:45] Victory points, I guess [21:23:59] It's not like they had any great struggles themselves during his life that weren't overshadowed by what Jesus did [21:24:11] Hahahah, that reminds me of an idea they had on the OTI podcast 01[21:24:11] I gues... what did they actually do? 01[21:24:14] Just hang around him? [21:24:23] They also spread his word. Some of them, at least [21:24:39] They were talking about what their perfect Christian reality show would be [21:24:59] And one of them suggested an elimination contest-style game called The Pearl of Great Price [21:25:18] Where a dozen Christians were put in this house with a pearl under class and were told to do standard reality show challenges [21:25:24] Except the rules wouldn't be explained to them [21:25:45] The rules being that the first person to give away all his worldly possessions got the pearl. :| 01[21:26:19] hahaha 01[21:29:45] Are the Disciples anyhting like the knights of teh round table? :( [21:30:10] I guess they all had pretty major faults that they made up for? I dunno [21:37:32] But, yeah, for liscenced games in general, Fantasy Flight doesn't ever really make *bad* games, they just make absurdly complex ones 06[21:37:51] * Demota nods 01[21:38:00] Yeah, FFG knows their stuff. 01[21:38:11] They seem to be, for better or worse, the definition of American design [21:39:08] Yeah [21:39:18] Very, very theme-heavy, to the expense of elegance 01[21:39:42] Yeah. [21:39:45] Like, with the BSG game, it's as BSG as you could conceivably make a game, but it requires an absurd number of subsystems to reach that point 01[21:39:49] They can be very good, but they're never easy to learn 01[21:40:07] ... shoot, do I even own a game from them, RPGs aside? 01[21:40:10] I don't think I do 01[21:43:50] Nova, you around? 01[22:07:30] sleepin 03[23:17:35] * Nova (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted 02[23:18:23] * Nova (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) 02[23:19:39] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [23:35:42] Ahahahahahaahah [23:35:45] The best way to deal with megadamage is to ignore it completely. Siembieda cooked it up for the original Robotech RPG, where it was really obviously a misunderstanding of how plot armor worked in the TV series. Giant robots piloted by heroes never took appreciable damage, while the ones crewed by random grunts dissolved in a light rain. 02[00:24:11] * Darkheart (lol@fl-67-235-251-234.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) 01[07:41:13] hahahha 01[08:04:58] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/577410/bath-brush-dog-hong_meiling-izayoi_sakuya-touhou-u 03[08:57:59] * Demotafk (demota@c-71-202-41-240.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted 03[08:58:00] * Fuuko (demota@c-71-202-41-240.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted - 02[09:00:29] * Disconnected - 03[12:29:15] * Now talking in #Exalted 03[12:29:15] * Topic is '#Exalted: You relieved yourself!
