Revision as of 13:13, 8 May 2009

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

--Dieter the Bold 11:21, 6 May 2009 (MST) Present. Pizza, please.

Edmiao present, not sure if i will be there for magic. have to leave early, like 11:30.

GABE: Present as well. Will remember to bring the decks. No pizza.

Edmiao might be in for 'za. what time do you need to know by?

BEN: Friday by 4:30 or so...I usually put the order in at 5 for Hot Mama's...Pudge depends on who's going for pickup and when.

BEN: same price as pudge.

--Dieter the Bold 20:18, 7 May 2009 (MST) Happy to arrive early and go to Pudge in time for a prompt gaming start (and to stave off starvation). If someone's car is available.

Edmiao ed GO for PIZZA. I should actually leave by 11pm. i have to catch a 7am bus saturday morning for this AAI conference downtown. I should be there by 6:30, if folks are ready to start OAAAA early and play magic later, I'd vote for that.

GABE: I remembered to bring the cards this time as well! I don't think I can skip lunch to get out early, I've been doing that a lot at work. If I can't I won't get there most likely till around 6:30.

Edmiao ben, i am debating whether i should skip the last talks today at the conference, which would mean i'm done at 4, i think. gonna ask around to see if the speaker is good, i know he's famous, but it it worth hanging out from 4-5 doing nothing for a 5-6 lecture? you gonna be around and interested in early geek show up? How's the vacation going? wait, did you start your psych rotation yet?

GABE: If your gonna do that, let me know, and I'll skip my lunch to get out early.

--Brandon 11:13, 8 May 2009 (MST) I was thinking about possibly stopping by for some Magic today, so please let me know if you decide to skip it early and only have Magic late. I might even be down for stopping by for later Magic, so don't change anything on my account. Just post your plans as best you know 'em.

Quote(s) of the week

Elemental: (to police chief, who thanked them for their good work) That certainly isn't going to help Viho's colossal ego. (or something like that...)

CyberJesus: I'm so sick and tired of this bullshit Thomas Kinkaid police state!

Ashbury: I grow plants that may or may not be used for pharmaceutical purposes

Ranting and Raving

Edmiao very disappointed by the 37% RT meter on the Wolverine movie. anyone seen it?

JASON: Yeah, we saw it. Its better than the previews make it look. If you can throw out a few really stupid things (most of which are directly out of the comics) its pretty good. Also, the easter egg at the end is terrible.

And, happy Cinco do Miao!

JASON: Second point: Star Trek has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes with 26 reviews! [1]

Edmiao still in the 90%'s on RT, so stoked. going to see it Tuesday night at cinerama or imax, not yet decided, probably at 7pm, all invited

Other RPG or Non-RPG or Monthly Board Gaming Day gaming Events

--Dieter the Bold 11:22, 6 May 2009 (MST) Going to Southcenter IMAX on Saturday for the 1:30 showing of Star Trek.

JASON: We are planning to go Friday, but if that doesnt work out, we are in.

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

Next step in Super Heroes

-> 3. Drug dealers and criminals all over the city are getting beat up, and quotes from Oliver Cromwell are left at the scene.

Edmiao guess we missed that plot point entirely?

Matts No worries, if you guys tracked down every spitball I threw up, uh, the game wouldn't be very fun.

Matts - Indian Point Nuclear Reactor Pipe Leak - see what happens when you store a radioactive genius underground??

Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy

Current OAAAA XP: 75 base + 231 XP

Plans to save Danny-Girl from the dragon

Fight the dragon, kill it

Lyra told us where to find the freezing Tears of _____ so we can put out the dragon's breath, right before she extinguished the eternal forge flame in our temple (bitch) by sucking its soul out like a vampire. She will help us fight the dragon. In return we agreed to let her strike the killing blow IF we successfully obtain the Tears. Other allies could also be enlisted in the fight.

Swindle all around

Talk to Grundbad, get him to fight the dragon and kill it. Also, talk to Oryxis, pledge to deliver the ruby shield in return he frees Danny-girl. Dragon dies: Danny free. Grundbad dies, danny free. Win - Win.

Deal with the dragon

Give the dragon something he wants more than Danny. Say the Ruby shield or freeing Iximion.

Dragon vs Dragon

Free Iximion, tell him Oryxis is getting up in his magic shit and doens't he want to kick the shit out of Oryxix for learning magic?

BEN: everyone gets one bonus XP on account of Fantus making several very principled, character appropriate sacrifices despite their high cost. Heroic behavior begets heroic rewards.

GABE: Sweet, um, still not sure what I'm gonna do but I'll think about it today at work.

Edmiao i love getting xp from gabe's exploits. although i feel like i have to spend it on something gabe appropriate. maybe KS: your mom jokes, or just KS your mom.

BEN: it's actually: AK: your mom. should probably buy it with megascale

GABE: Why would he buy an everyman skill???

--Brandon 22:53, 4 May 2009 (MST) Wow. That was awesome, Gabe. Gabe totally deserves more bonus XP for that excellent quip.

GABE: Also Ed, its about time I get some bonus XP for us! Heh heh. You got us some for the thing with Grundel. That said we are currently at the school he is attending, although he is not around.

Edmiao sounds like an excellent place to buy a magic carpet. anyone want to lend aefra some cash?

BEN: you mean the monastic school that doesn't have a market and has an anti-magic aura? I'm not so sure that it's a good place to buy a magic carpet. But nearby Csara, where your buddy bought it, would be.

Edmiao yeah yeah, exactly what i was thinking. cus i always remember these details.

GABE: Is the above XP current?

Edmiao is now

GABE: Yoowza! Also I brought the stupid vechicle book.
