Start of #Exalted buffer: Fri Jul 10 08:35:38 2009 [16:27:06] [16:07:04] Fighting a sasquatch? [16:27:06] [16:07:14] Of course! It'd be awesome! [16:27:06] [16:09:32] It'd be silly. What are you going to say? [16:27:06] [16:09:55] Well, talking doesn't seem all that necessary in a fight... [16:27:06] [16:11:02] I dunno. Can sasquatches even talk? If it said anything maybe we could talk trash for a bit. Otherwise [16:27:06] I'd just punch it in the face to get things started. [16:27:06] [16:12:00] * Berny laughs. [16:28:38] Medium sized? I've heard of microscopic black holes, regular black holes, and super-massive black holes. [16:28:54] Nova: Yeah, they only take up one square. [16:29:01] :V [16:29:16] There are, like, two kinds in space [16:29:24] Stellar mass, iirc, and supermassive [16:29:32] And the new kind is between those [16:31:16] Daisuke's sounding more and more like a Japanese Michael Cera. [16:31:42] Weird [16:32:08] Haha [16:33:09] I dunno if you saw before, so would you be up for a Mage game on alternating Saturdays, Maha (If you're free on those days?) [16:33:17] I'd ask you, Nova, but I know you wanna keep weekends free [16:33:59] Oh, thanks for the invite. I have a game on Saturdays right now, but I might be able to do them concurrently. Not sure. ^^ [16:35:39] * Kentaro nods [16:36:04] Well, I figure it'd probably be a pretty social-focused game, like Youkai, which means it probably wouldn't be too fast-paced [16:36:10] Sounds fun. :3 [16:36:22] * NovaSeaker nods. [16:37:53] Awesome. Do you have any experience with Mage? It's kind of a hostile system to newcomers, but from what I've heard, the new edition's made it not quite so bad [16:38:12] I don't think I've ever actually played Mage before. I just read over the books a lot [16:39:00] I was in a Mage game for all of...maybe a month. [16:39:03] Before the game collapsed. ^^ [16:39:04] The pain mostly comes from the magic system, which is kinda freeform, so you can more or less do anything, which can be kinda overwhelming [16:39:07] Oh, cool [16:39:27] I've run Mage: The Ascention before, but that collapsed even earlier than that [16:39:33] But I only know some minimal background information about it. :3 [16:39:39] Ah, yeah, that was the version I played. [16:39:45] however briefly. ;P [16:39:52] I'm going with The Awakening this time, just because I've never run it before, but I'm kinda curious about it [16:41:54] Hahahah, these targetted ads get a little absurd when you live in a town with maybe 2,000 people [16:41:56] Chester Mom Lost 47 Lbs Obeying 1 Rule!I Cut Off 47 Lbs Of Stomach Fat In A Month Following 1 Old RuleRachelRaysGiveaway.comChester Mom Lost 52 lbs Following 1 Rule!I Cut Down 52 lbs of Stomach Fat In A Month By Obeying This 1 Old Rulewww.RachelRayBlogging.comChester Mom Got Skinny Following 1 Rule!I Slashed 53lbs of Pure Fat Effortlessly by Obeying 1 Old Rule. (Read)www.KristinGotSkinny.com [16:42:18] Apparently an inordinate amount of Chester's population are, or were, morbidly obese mothers [16:42:24] wow [16:44:07] I'm back [16:44:31] Wb. [16:45:01] Hey [16:45:25] Maha: The major difference in Mage: the Awakening (Aside from tone, the new World of Darkness is focused a lot more on just being a modern horror world and less with reflecting pop culture) is that they simplified and focused mage society a *lot* [16:45:55] * Yon is now known as Megumi [16:46:02] * Adyen (senranda@74.12.123.50) has joined #Exalted [16:46:11] Hey Adyen [16:46:20] Now, instead of the nine magical traditions, and the five technocratic conventions and marauders and nephandi, the world's predominant magical tradition is descended from Atlantean mages [16:46:23] Hey, Adyen [16:46:38] Hi Adyen. [16:46:43] Hiya! I'm back! :D [16:46:48] I dunno what I'd play in that Mage game. [16:47:39] And the player character types are representative of realms in the Supernal world (The sort of mythic over-reality from which magic flows into the mortal world) rather than world magical traditions. [16:47:48] Hey dem, any chance I could see a log or something to catch up? [16:48:00] http://demota.sandwich.net/rpg/youkai/ Logs are here. [16:48:10] We'll probably end htis scene soon and skip to the next day at school [16:48:12] Dem: The general thing of the New World of Darkness is that you're not so much making a monster ex nihilo as you are creating a person and then altering them [16:48:25] Both mechanically and conceptually [16:48:53] So I figure that if you can't think of a specific Mage concept, thinking of a normal character concept might be a good way to start [16:51:35] ADyen: Anyway, whnever you're set up, you can hop into channel or something [16:53:04] I figure we'll probably use the Boston Unveiled setting, since I have a passing familiarity with the setting, and the emphasis on civility seems good for a slower-paced game. [16:53:24] I might want to replay my old Mage character from scratch, since she didn't live long. ^^ [16:54:08] What was she like? [16:54:23] * Adyen is now known as Emmy [16:55:23] I don't know how different Awakening is, but in Ascension, I think most mages found their talents through some sort of traumatic event. [16:55:57] I think that's still the case with at least some of them [16:56:18] Personal revelation seems to be big, now, too. [16:56:33] I don't remember it overly well, but my character lost her family in a car accident during a college tour [16:57:19] Like, seeing the burial of a family member who tormented you might lead to awakening as a Moros (the group specializing in death and matter) even if the actual torment doesn't [16:57:39] I don't thinkw e need dice for this, do you? :| [16:57:48] Also, after this scene, I figure we'll skip to the next day and get Emmy back [16:57:51] Heh [16:57:59] Well, tanuki are, at least, pretty strong. [16:58:19] I figured I was gonna try for an Earth roll to at least hold my ground, since Kentaro doesn't seem like he'd really try to win. :V [16:58:24] heh [16:58:28] One moment [16:58:42] * Fuuko (demota@71.202.41.240) has joined #Exalted [16:59:01] 4d6 [16:59:01] Kentaro rolls 4D6: 2 6 3 5 = 16 [16:59:17] Using my Stalwart specialty to reroll the 2 [16:59:18] 6d6d [16:59:20] 1d6 [16:59:20] 6d6 [16:59:21] Emmy rolls 6D6: 4 2 3 4 5 3 = 21 [16:59:21] Kentaro rolls 1D6: 5 [16:59:29] 6d60 [16:59:29] Emmy rolls 6D60: 31 35 1 43 43 59 = 212 [17:00:30] Megumi's turn [17:02:52] Remind me for a sec, but Kentaro wanted to know something about who bought out his home or something, right? [17:03:15] Yeah [17:03:30] Oh, shit [17:03:34] Wasn't paying attention [17:03:37] I'm going to use that as my excuse for missing days, alright? [17:03:45] Sure. [17:04:00] 5d6 [17:04:00] Megumi rolls 5D6: 3 3 2 3 1 = 12 [17:04:09] Oh you're shitting me. [17:04:17] Nyoro [17:04:18] Well, this is interesting [17:04:24] Too bad Kale's not around. [17:04:26] Okay, rerolling the 1, 2, and a 3. [17:04:30] 3d6 [17:04:31] Megumi rolls 3D6: 3 3 5 = 11 [17:05:16] ... I just realized that this might not be how the system works. Not that it matters a whole lot since we roll stuff and figure out whatever's interesting [17:05:38] Yeah. Apparently when two PCs are in conflict, we're supposed to decide on the active and passive participant [17:06:08] And then the active participant gets adversity equal to half the passive participant's relevant resistance stat [17:06:26] * Demotafk nods [17:06:31] I guess Megumi's the Active. [17:07:18] Yeah. In this case, it'd be discarding two dice before the roll, but at this point, I think it's just something to take into account in the future if we really wanna [17:07:42] Kentaro's going to put 3 in narration, 5 in safety, 5 in motion, 6 in style [17:07:55] * Demotafk nods [17:11:03] Um. [17:11:09] So how does that effect my roll? [17:11:38] Well, if we wanna do it by the book, then you'd do the roll over again but with two less dice, I think [17:11:38] It doesn't. Let's just say there's an Adversity 1 on it, though. So one of your rolls is reduced by 1, Cha's pick [17:12:02] 1d2 [17:12:03] Kentaro rolls 1D2: 1 [17:12:15] I'll reduce one of the 3s to a 2 [17:12:38] Okay. [17:13:06] I'm gonna put a 5 in motion, 3 in safety, 3 in style, and 2 in narration. [17:13:21] Alright. Yon, you can describe [17:14:17] http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=199 Hahahahahah [17:15:43] What does that mean since we both put a 5 in motion? [17:15:50] Hahahah, when the Wraeththu review gets to the magic system, the reviewer describes how to throw a fireball back in times to kill John Wilkes Booth [17:16:02] ahaha [17:16:11] I'd say it's probably a standstill [17:16:53] And I'm not entirely uncomfortable describing an opposed PC reaction. :( [17:16:56] By the book, Charles' rolls would get ignored [17:17:05] Can you both post? [17:17:26] I guess so, yeah [17:21:18] Hahhaha [17:21:18] Another global issue is the way the book is organized. Maybe the arrangements make sense to somebody else, but to me I felt like was reading the Choose Your Own Adventure of Doom. "For three more paragraphs on this subject, turn to page 123. For the information you actually need, go to page 234." [17:21:53] hahahaha [17:23:48] Sliptime to the next day? [17:24:40] Sure [17:26:37] Unless Yon wanted to post something, but I guess the log can be spliced later [17:26:56] Fine by me. ^^ [17:27:06] Alrighty, resume [17:41:18] Hahahaha Unknown Armies is just crazy. Lots of high weirdness, which I love, but for that, Over the Edge takes it one step further. UA is the story of the hidden occult masters of the world, but OtE is where they all go on vacation. [17:47:02] Man, I need to read Weapons of the Gods at some point [17:47:20] What's that/ [17:48:00] An RPG based on a long-running Chinese Wuxia comic (That is to say, a comic published in China, about wuxia) written by Rebecca Sean Borgstrom [17:48:06] Who's the woman who did Nobilis [17:49:46] I keep hearing it described as being like Exalted, except without the bullshit that made Exalted a giant pain to run and play, and set in a pastiche of ancient China, insteadof a pastiche of anime/world history [17:50:16] Huh [17:50:20] That sounds kinda cool [17:50:37] Yeah [17:51:26] I remember downloading it, because it had a *really* detailed section on, like, gender roles and social class in the fictionalized ancient China it takes place in [17:51:28] And I love that shit [17:51:43] This sounds cool. Is it sold as a pdf? [17:51:44] But I pretty much read that section and then shuffled the PDF away to a corner of my desktop [17:51:57] Probably [17:52:01] I think I got it off of /rs/ [17:56:23] Going out to the city, huh? Sliptime? [17:56:39] Also, Megumi had a fighta fter school with Choutarou [17:56:46] Unless she wants to take Choutarou out into the city to fight [17:57:32] Whoa, I totally forgot about that. [17:58:08] http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=3212&it=1 [17:58:13] Whoo [17:59:55] Okay, I still have the PDFs [18:04:45] * Megumi (dlarmour@wnpgmb014ww-ad06-238-40.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [18:13:48] Dem: If you can't think of anything for your Mage character, it might be worth exploring the idea of, like, Chinatown in Boston, given the history it has, and how you don't like playing white ghosts in non-fantasy games. [18:13:57] * Demotafk nods [18:14:15] Might be worth looking at [18:15:07] * Megumi (dlarmour@wnpgmb014rw-ad01-76-48.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #Exalted [18:15:10] re [18:15:28] (The big difference is that in most American cities, the Chinese immigrants were comparatively well-connected, so they were able to stop their neighborhoods from turning into a shithole, while in Boston, Chinatown became one of the worst parts of the city because of the lack of political connections) [18:15:38] There was a very brief rainstorm and the internet shat itself. [18:15:40] aw [18:15:50] Wjhat was the last you saw? [18:15:54] And probably the paying for stuff parts. Not that I'm implying she, ah, you know. [18:16:05] [18:02:34] And probably the paying for stuff parts. Not that I'm implying she, ah, you know. [18:16:05] [18:03:17] Well, uh, she doesn't have a liscence and she's never taken a case [18:16:05] [18:03:34] She kinda just sits in her office drinking whiskey and watching old movies. But she's got a really nice office! [18:16:05] [18:03:44] * Berny scratches her hair. "Oh. Haha. Well, that counts for something." [18:16:05] [18:04:43] * Megumi (dlarmour@wnpgmb014ww-ad06-238-40.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [18:16:07] [18:06:15] Yeah. It's *really* nice. [18:16:07] [18:06:58] Anyway, this means she gets her first case, right? [18:16:09] [18:08:06] Oh, hey, yeah! I bet she'll be super-excited [18:16:09] [18:10:52] * Berny smiles. "Yeah! I hope she doesn't mind us tagging along." [18:16:11] [18:11:23] Hey, no problem! [18:16:11] [18:15:04] * Megumi (dlarmour@wnpgmb014rw-ad01-76-48.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #youkai [18:16:47] Like, there were *worse* parts, but only by virtue of living in Boston in the 70s being slightly worse than living in Bartertown in Beyond Thunderdome. :V [18:18:23] Ick [18:19:34] Chinatown was sleazy and pretty dangerous, but, say, Roxbury or Somerville or the South End or any number of other neighborhoods were total hellholes. [18:19:59] Man, I really hope the cat didn't fall out the window [18:20:09] Because I'm hearing animals outside and it's dark now [18:20:14] Damn. :/ [18:20:20] Can you leave a door open or anything? [18:21:23] That would be *really* inadvisable [18:21:37] Living in the country means there aren't many people who might break in [18:21:44] * Demotafk nods. :/ [18:21:48] But it also means that there are feral raccoons and weasels and shit out there [18:24:37] We can break for a bit and give you time to look for the cat again [18:25:05] At this point, I'm mostly worried about getting blamed for my parents leaving their window open. [18:25:47] He's an indoor cat, but he's still a cat. If he's out there, he'll make it out okay [18:26:17] I suppose so. One of Ltab's cats got kidnapped by coyotes and came back a couple days later still alive [18:27:01] I'm kind of imagining a gang of coyotes shoving the cat in a bag and running off [18:27:21] And then sending crudely made ransom notes out of sticks and leaves [18:27:27] D: [18:28:53] I'm only mildly worried about the possibility of fischercats, which, according to my father, are biological blenders made of pure hate. But then, my father likes being afraid [18:29:53] Sometimes I wonder why you like Bizarros so much, since your father seems so much like one in a lot of ways. :| [18:31:32] Oh evil genius... how I love you. http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/evil_genius [18:31:48] I was interested in that game, but I never got to try it [18:31:50] Was it good? [18:33:01] You ever played Dungeon Keeper? [18:33:34] Nope. I wanted to play tht too [18:34:18] It's fun. [18:34:39] You know, the kind of mindless gaming that keeps you interested a whole day kind of fun? [18:37:09] Shit, my mother's still not home and it's half past nine [18:37:17] I should go down and feed my father's cat [18:37:26] * Demotafk nods. :/ [18:38:45] * Berny nods. ^^ [18:42:16] Okay, cat fed. [18:42:26] I wonder if the new cat is under my bed [18:42:41] Last time I saw him, he was trying to find a way through the blankets [18:43:02] http://rapidshare.com/files/254014910/Weapons_of_the_Gods.rar.html Here's Weapons of the Gods and the Weapons of the Gods Companion [18:43:11] Thanks [18:43:29] Didn't we set up some other place? [18:43:44] I don't remember. [18:44:24] It's entirely possible that Choutarou doesn't remembe either. :| [18:44:55] * Demotafk (demota@71.202.41.240) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [18:45:29] * Fuuko (demota@71.202.41.240) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [18:45:38] Yeah, Kentaro suggested a place. [18:45:54] What was that? [18:46:33] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota [18:46:40] Something...uh...it was in the woods somewhere? [18:46:47] It was a clearing out in the woods, IIRC [18:46:51] Oh! I remembe rnow [18:48:41] Oh, cool. iplay4e now has a text character sheet output [18:49:05] Designed for play-by-post on SA, but it'll also be useful for C&Ping into Google Docs [18:49:53] Oh, awesome [18:51:44] Looking at the code, though, it still doesn't output the text of the powers. [18:52:07] Though that's understandable [18:52:10] Yeah. The text of powers is actually an URL to the D&D compendium [18:52:49] * Demota nods [18:53:06] That's a little disappointing, though I can understand why. Looks like it's in message board format, though [18:53:16] Cantrips [Wizard] [18:53:16] [sub][super][i]Use ghost sound, light, mage hand, and prestidigitation as at-will powers.[/i][/super][/sub] [18:53:16] Ritual Casting [Wizard] [18:53:16] [sub][super][i]Gain Ritual Caster as a bonus feat.[/i][/super][/sub] [18:53:16] Spellbook [Wizard] [18:53:16] [sub][super][i]Three 1st-level rituals, plus more at higher levels.

It's specifically meant to be used to C&P into SA [18:56:54] Sure [19:00:02] Oh, Dem, could you splice the decadence shirt into the ramen shop logs? [19:00:37] Huh. iplay4e is actually designed for the iPhone [19:00:40] Sure, gimme a description and give me a time stamp to insert it between [19:00:41] Huh [19:00:49] The visual design suddenly makes a lot more sense [19:01:18] Could you link me to the logs? I don't know timestamps off the top of my head [19:01:42] http://demota.sandwich.net/rpg/youkai [19:01:45] Shoudl be the last two sessions [19:05:43] Log 17, between 20:18:23 and 20:18:51, * Kentaro's changed out of his school shirt and jacket into a tight black t-shirt with "DECADENCE" written across the chest in gold text [19:06:07] So, iirc, I take some sort of penalty on rolls because of that 3 I assigned to safety? [19:06:52] I think you roll one less die. [19:08:53] Log updated [19:14:58] -> [#Exalted] PING [19:16:07] Oooooooooh. [19:16:08] http://kotaku.com/5311361/the-elder-scrolls-ii-daggerfall-goes-free [19:17:22] Didn't it go free a long time ago? [19:17:28] Nah, that was Arena [19:17:43] Aaah [19:17:46] brb, phone [19:21:40] Daggerfall runs choppily on my current computer, and I haven't figured out how to adjust the speed so I can actually do combat. [19:22:10] * Demota nods [19:22:15] Dosbox doesn't help?" [19:23:27] Okay, I'm back. [19:23:38] re [19:24:12] Okay. So I roll 4 dice instead of my usual pool, right? [19:24:21] Yeah [19:24:32] 4d6 [19:24:52] We seem to be missing a dicebot. [19:25:42] http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=123911&page=10 Hahahahahah, in a thread about The Mirror, someone created Sepultorah [19:25:50] Whoops [19:25:50] Well, crap. One moment [19:25:57] Spulturatorah [19:26:02] * Fuuko (demota@71.202.41.240) has joined #Exalted [19:27:00] 4d6 [19:27:01] Megumi rolls 4D6: 2 4 6 4 = 16 [19:27:30] I don't have to use all my rerolls at once, right? [19:27:47] What do you mean? [19:28:34] Like, I could reroll the 2. Then reroll it again if I didn't like what I got until I was out of rerolls? [19:28:40] Yep! [19:28:43] You can reroll rerolls [19:28:53] Okay, good. [19:28:56] Rerolling the 2. [19:28:58] 1d6 [19:28:58] Megumi rolls 1D6: 4 [19:29:08] That'll do! [19:29:22] Okay, 6 for motion, 4 for safety, 4 for style, 4 for narration. [19:29:40] Alright, cool [19:29:43] Post it [19:29:51] Also I am laughing so hard at Spulturatorah. I love that "Tim Burton" is a trait. [19:30:01] lol [19:30:10] Yeah [19:30:16] Traits One and Two are rated at 5 and 4, respectively. The StoryEngager of this SelfAvatar assigns these traits. They can assign them anything they want. Some examples are: [19:30:17] Shoot NinurtaCannon [19:30:17] Pilot EnilHovertank [19:30:17] Play Bentzballah [19:30:17] Look cool in sandals [19:30:17] Impress Shrine Maidens [19:30:19] Spot Hidden Ghosts [19:30:19] Tim Burton [19:30:21] Dodge Fate [19:30:24] hahaha [19:34:47] I like how someone who puts Tim Burton as Trait 1 has a 5 out of 6 chance of accomplishing Tim Burton [19:34:51] hahahaha [19:37:34] * Kentaro is now known as Charles [19:37:40] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Charles [19:37:41] :confused: [19:38:11] * Charles changes topic to '#Exalted: You relieved yourself! Your condition became "You have enraged Shamash, the god of Sin and Travellers! Fuck!" | 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' [19:38:15] * Charles is now known as Kentaro [19:38:48] Kentaro's not on the op list for the channel, so I needed to be Charles again to do that :( [19:39:37] I must go eat. ^^ [19:39:41] But I'll be back. [19:40:06] hahahahahah [19:41:15] I like how the rules themselves are emphatically horrified about the consequences of fucking up a Ziggurat Barley roll [19:47:15] Go ahead and make a roll for it. :V [19:47:51] Alright, I'm gonna go with Earth again to try and wear him down [19:47:54] 4d6 [19:47:55] Kentaro rolls 4D6: 6 6 2 5 = 19 [19:47:59] Rerolling the 2 [19:48:01] 1d6 [19:48:01] Kentaro rolls 1D6: 2 [19:48:08] into a 2. ouch. [19:48:27] Wow, that thread totally reminded me that I have an actual copy of Amber Diceless still kicking around somewhere. [19:48:58] Alright, let's go with Safety 6, Style 6, Motion 5, Narration 2 [19:49:05] That I stole. Not entirely intentionally, but still. [19:50:34] Hahah [19:50:49] I have a PDF of it somewhere, and I feel like I should read it, being a total narrativist faggot [19:50:52] haha [19:51:06] Alright, go ahead and narrate it [19:51:12] Choutaro's losing like crazy [19:51:23] It's pretty damn cool, though reading the second half of the series kind of turned me off Amber in general. [19:52:41] I wonder if the president of the uni's gaming club ever realized that I kind of took his book and never gave it back or if he just forgot like I did after I stopped coming. >_> [19:54:42] Also I cannot fucking figure out what these people are talking about when they call a roleplaying system 'coarse'. RPG.NET! :argh: [19:55:27] hahah [19:55:48] I think they're referring to, like, the possible options [19:56:26] Like, say, D&D rates attributes on a scale of 8 to infinity, and uses a die with 20 sides, meaning that it's fairly granular (there are a bunch of statistical options) [19:57:07] If a game had stats rated on 1-4 and then you rolled a d4 to see if you got below or equal to your stat, that'd be super granular [19:57:15] * Demota nods [19:57:26] Coarse is still a dumb word [19:57:44] Er, super coarse [19:57:53] Yeah, it's jargon [20:19:11] Hahaha, in another parody system, they statted up Jesus Christ, and his stats include "Make friends with tax collectors" "Save against death" and "Surf without a board" [20:19:17] hahahahaha [20:19:22] Hahahhahahaha [20:20:40] Now I'm just imagining Jesus cruising around out on the lake and when Peter tries to join him and falls in, Jesus is all "Duuuuuude, dude, you don't do it like that!" [20:20:50] hahahaha [20:21:20] Hahahaha [20:26:00] Everoyne awakeihs? [20:26:08] I'm awake. [20:26:11] Yep. [20:29:05] Back. [20:29:10] re [20:29:14] Re [20:29:32] Oh, Dem, did you download that torrent of nWoD stuff? [20:29:40] Yeah [20:29:56] Sorry, was doing some laundery [20:30:00] Because if so, maybe you could send the core book and the Mage folder to Maha in case she's interested [20:30:10] * Demota nods [20:30:25] I'll upload it to my webspace and mail a link to Maha when i get the chance [20:30:41] Who's interested in Mage so far? Me, Yon, and Maha? [20:30:58] Sounds about right [20:31:13] Mage? [20:31:21] :3 [20:31:31] It couldn't hurt to design characters as a group, since Mage characters are kind of assumed to be part of the same social group with similar goals [20:31:38] Yeah [20:31:54] Do you figure this'll be a longterm game, or something shorter? [20:32:12] Like, I get the impression that cabals are less like adventuring parties and more like groups of friends working on a project (even if that project is something as big as 'find out how the universe works') [20:32:36] Probably longterm just because I don't have a narrative arc in my head yet, but 'long term' and 'short term' are ambiguous terms on IRC [20:32:55] Yeah. [20:35:23] Adyen: Yeah, I'm hoping to start a Mage: The Awakening game [20:38:30] That sounds interesting, but since I know almost nothing on it... *shrug* [20:47:00] I want to get to bed before my father gets home and starts asking questions about the cat, so I might have to turn in soon. :/ [20:47:11] Alright. [20:47:38] I hope things end up alirhg.t :/ [20:47:49] * Berny nods. :( I hope your cat comes back. [20:48:42] Well, my mother went out and looked, and didn't see him, which is probably a good thing. [20:48:53] He might still be inside? [20:49:08] This is probably a retarded question, but is it at all possible for the cat to have gotten onto the roof? [20:49:13] I was thinking more like 'he didn't die' [20:49:18] Sure. [20:49:22] Cats do what cats like. [20:49:33] At least, not on the not. [20:49:38] Not especially, no. [20:49:55] If the cat doesn't come back when its dinner time, then you could go looking for it. [20:50:54] The only trees near the house don't quite reach up to the bottom of the second story. For the cat to have got up on the roof, he'd have had to make maybe a fifteen foot vertical leap [20:51:26] Hm. And the cat's probably not in a tree? [20:51:30] It's already around midnight at this point. I'll probably look around noon tomorrow [20:51:42] For his sake, I hope he is [20:51:59] Trees aren't that hard for cats to get out of, though he's never been outside before [20:52:08] * Demota nods [20:52:18] But being in a tree is probably safer than being on ground level with coyotes and weasels and all that [20:52:28] Yeah [20:54:01] * Berny nods. ^^ [20:56:17] I'll try to wrap up fast [21:00:33] Final posts [21:03:41] Ahahahh [21:03:41] I had a story like that. My character had jumped onto a dragon's back to try to kill it, and it took off while I was still on its back. The wizard took my special, summoned horse to ride after me, despite having no riding skill in any form. When my horse stopped and he couldn't get it going again, he tried to stick a spear in it to prod it into action. There's a reason cowboys used spurs and not spears, and my horse died. [21:03:42] When everyone got to where the dragon had landed, I was in its mouth, stabbing it from the inside as it was biting me to death. At the end of the fight, both the dragon and I were on our last legs. The wizard had a pet flying squirrel he trained, for some reason, and the dragon killed it. The only person who could act before the dragon bit me in half was the wizard. Unfortunately, he failed a roll and was in shock that his squirrel [21:03:42] After they killed the dragon and resurrected me, they were trying to get information from me that I had learned at the dragon's cave before they got to me. I, having just been bitten in half and resurrected, was not entirely coherent. Frustrated at my incoherence, the wizard said he was going to punch me. Because the wizard was impulsive as all hell, the DM decided that the wizard was actually going to do it. He hit me, and since I [21:03:42] Long story short, in one session, the wizard not only killed my special horse, he also killed me. Twice. [21:04:38] hahahahahhaha [21:05:04] I think I'm missing the last bits of each there. [21:05:19] "he failed a roll and was in shock that his squirrel " [21:05:23] "o do it. He hit me, and since I " [21:05:31] squirrel got killed, so he did nothing, and the dragon killed me. [21:05:33] I usually paste big things to myself in /msg to test for wher eit might cut off [21:05:37] since I only had one hit point, I died again. [21:05:44] lol [21:06:03] That's actually a good idea, Dem, thanks.
