Revision as of 02:09, 30 October 2007

This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.

Attendance and Food preference

11/2/07 Hey guys. Nate here. I got really drunk quite early on friday, so driving to seattle was pretty impossible. Sorry I didn't call you. I'll hit u guys up next time I'm in town. Take care y'all.

Ranting and raving or other random comments

Gabe: So I thought I'd put this in just because I wonder how we would handle this. So the characters are traveling through the boarder princes area. And they come across an old Dwarf outpost. These are generated randomly and the thing interest happens to be a demon that is bound there and the reason the place fell is a civil war. So long story short it turns out there was a civil war over the demon who was actually summoned by a dwarf using forbidden/forgotten Rune Lore. Now in the runes are the demon's true name. If you have a demon's true name it can't do a whole lot to you. The demon also currently "serves" one of the characters but his power is very limited. He can only move about the small outpost and has no access to many of the demon powers.

So the demon wants to be free and says he will make a deal with the characters. He will give them gifts of change (it is a demon of Tzeench, randomly generated), and is cable of giving them a Chaos Weapon.

So here the characters are faced with gaining quite a bit of power. Also the demon can't just turn on them when it is free due to them knowing its true name. I've made the deal quite tempting but they are still debating what to do. I do love how tempting Chaos is.

--Matts Chaos weapons have horripilating side effects. Don't skimp on those. Also Gifts have pretty awful side effects too. One of the themes of warhammer is that the power of Chaos always, always comes with a price. Hammer that home to your players in the most gruesome way possible!

WHFRP Reboot Recap

The Next Step in Exemplars

BEN: Er...could we get an update on where things stand here? Are all the chars made? Do we know when we will run the last 1 or 2 prequils? When is the game supposed to start? I would very much like to see the actual game start before year's end, we have a lot of space for another game and I personally would like to have something structured in place sooner rather than later. Board games, Heroscape, and Magic are lots of fun, and i'm happy to bust those out, but having another game in place soon would be good.

--Edmiao 15:42, 29 October 2007 (MST) yeah. logisticsally, if you want Matt there for session 1/2 that means adhering to the schedule above. I think it is very important to get past the phase of the game where Matt is required for sessions. As he is the GM of the other game, he is the one who should be expected to be absent the most, because any Matt absences will result in us playing Exemplars. From my breif experience GMing, the one big mistake I made, no the one bigGEST mistake I made was making sessions dependent on one character and then that person being absent. So I'd like to see that the whole game doesn't require Matt's attendance (although I love him even more than Gabe's mom).

Gabe: Seems to me that maybe we should just do board games for the next few weeks after this one. I will be gone the day after Thanksgiving as well.

--Edmiao 16:18, 29 October 2007 (MST) That opinion would be in the minority, I think. I strongly advocate the schedule above. did i get your absence date correct, gabe, 11/23?

Gabe: Oh okay, I didn't quite catch that last time! Yeah, that is the correct-o date.

--Jason 18:53, 29 October 2007 (MST)First of all, this last week has been hell. Work has been out of control. Second, absences are likely to be a problem whenever they occur. One great thing about having strong story roles is everyone is involved. One bad thing about it is when people skip because their aunts brothers cousin might be in town for a dinner it throws many things off kilter. I have Gabe's character, but he hasnt responded to my request for an hdc version. I need to email Dieter back on his character, since I have it in doc and not hdc, and my new laptop doesnt have word (yet) its been a hassle. Ben and I will need to discuss possible mechanical changes to his character, but nothing else is an issue. I have to go over there and grab my blue binder anyway, we can probably discuss it for an hour and get it figured out. I havent fully thought about that schedule, but I dont think I will be out of town anytime soon.

--Gdaze 19:43, 29 October 2007 (MST) Did the one character work well? Everytime I send an HDC version it comes out as HTML... I'll try emailing from a different provider.

--Jason 22:14, 29 October 2007 (MST)Did you try including it as an attachment? I can read the character, and he looks pretty good. I just have a few suggestions/requests. As for the schedule, we only have one prelude to do, thats Gabe's. Dieter has amnesia, so a prelude doesnt make much sense.

--Edmiao 22:24, 29 October 2007 (MST) prelude for Ben's character? otherwise we could board game it on the 16th.
