Revision as of 16:18, 5 November 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

--Matts 10:16, 2 November 2009 (MST)I'm running Kingmakers this week. My place is available. Who's in?

BEN: as above, absent. Have to help out with the tea party prep.

Edmiao what? who are you teabagging? I'll be there. to games, not to the teabagging party.

--Gdaze 10:54, 2 November 2009 (MST) I'm down. Should be better by then. My place is of course open as well. I have figures, ha!

--Matts 11:23, 2 November 2009 (MST)I'm fine with any location. My place is available because rina is out of town, so it's BACHELOR WEEKEND for me!

Ed. We're on for some magic, yes? Going thru withdrawals

--Dieter the Bold 16:45, 2 November 2009 (MST) Sadly absent due to family. Sorry guys.

--Gdaze 20:34, 2 November 2009 (MST) I'd still like to play even with two. I could ask around to see if any of my friends would be willing to fill in.

Ed. Im in. Rp can work really well with 2 players. Also in even if we just magic it up all night long. . But if one of you is going to bail do it now cus im passing up a tiger lillies concert.

--Matts 23:28, 2 November 2009 (MST)WE ARE A GO OK

Edmiao bueno. anywho bail will be denied access to BOTH gabes dad and mom for one whole month!!!! then where will you get your scabies, hmmmm?

--Gdaze 12:05, 4 November 2009 (MST) I would like to propose we use my house on Friday. My mom has a ton of chips/snacks/cookies left over from her victory party (of course she won) which she is givng to me. And it would be a bit easier if I didn't have to transport them. I'm also trying to see if my brother will be able to game with us as he may be in the area.

Edmiao your place is so far. matt is in the middle of both of us, and can your brother and you carpool?

--Dieter the Bold 13:04, 4 November 2009 (MST) Gratz to your mom on the crushing defeat of her opponent. 76 to 23 is a pretty nice mandate. Also, gratz on her 33,000 new subjects, I mean, constituents.

--Gdaze 13:56, 4 November 2009 (MST) Does Matt's place have parking? Parking in Seattle is always such a bitch. And yes... more masses for Kirkland, all hail Kirkland!

--Matts 15:27, 4 November 2009 (MST)My place has streets, but it is indeed hard to park.

--Gdaze 15:35, 4 November 2009 (MST) Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck... fine. You Seattle people, sheesh.

--Matts 16:39, 4 November 2009 (MST)Hey, I didn't say I couldn't make it out to the eastside or anything. Ed and I could carpool.

--Gdaze 17:27, 4 November 2009 (MST) I'm okay with either, I just like ease of parking, we are very lucky at Ben's place actually. Good location with decent parking. That said, I really would like it at my place just because I got all the stuff and I have to drive over to Seattle most every other week.

Ed. Carpooling will make the drive much more tollerable. We can do gabes

JASON: You can do Gabes mom.

Edmiaooh sweeeet, are you done with her?

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

Ed/Aefra: "I use Seduction on the baby"

"Galen, you're wearing a dress." "Yes, but I still look better in it than in you do in your clothes."


Ranting and Raving

Edmiao any of you blokes have wii rockband and willing to lend me a guitar for the weekend? we're having a rockband party with some folks form work but lack a fourth instrument.

JASON: Sure. We can exchange that Order of the Stick game too.

Edmiao sweet, ya it's gettin dusty in my garage. would you happen to be anywhere more northward than your house before sunday?

Kingmakers

Current XP as of 10/16 session: 1600

Edmiao I am going to redirect my character thusly: Entertainer -> Outlaw -> Highwayman. Two benefits here, we only have one spy and i get to have some combat effectiveness (eventually) but still be an entertainer who should be fun to rp.

--Gdaze 22:46, 20 October 2009 (MST) So we should jump up to a total of 1600 XP now?

--Matts 07:22, 21 October 2009 (MST)Yes, and furthermore, expect more XP when you reunite the Lowengeist family, and more XP after that when you take control of Reikland or otherwise restore it from its fractured state.

--Gdaze 09:09, 21 October 2009 (MST) We are gonna reunite the family? What all happened after I left?

--Matts 09:23, 21 October 2009 (MST)You guys cut a deal with the Jungfrauds, who are just to the north of Johann's city. They'll lend their military strength in exchange for help in the Altdorf markets for the goods they import from Brettonia.

As to ultimate goals, you certainly don't have to reunite the family - if you set some other goals you'll get xp for those, as long as they improve Franz Stadler-Lowengeist's political position.

--Gdaze 15:23, 21 October 2009 (MST) And how much time has passed since the last session and this one? At least a month or two? Or did those kinda pass after the whole thing happened between the families? I'd like it if a least a month or two have passed.

Edmiao could be years?

--Matts 10:34, 22 October 2009 (MST)We're picking up where the last session left off. If you left after the big fight, it's been a few months.

BEN: I think the simplest, and most widely palatable next step is to off Johann. I tried to come up with an alternative solution, but it's just too risky. I think we should make it look like the bretonnians did it. Or anyone else, for that matter, it'll probably be painfully obvious that we're at fault regardless. Assuming we can succeed.

Edmiao re my comment on bens maniphilosipholistemisimo. This game is heavy into politics and there are far too many characters named Hans. It would really help someone like myself if there were a recap page that was kept up to date, cus i don't even remember who johan is and why ben wants to kill him. We have an empty recap page and a list of links to kingmakers characters, but which one has a guy named Johan?

BEN: the big hairy fucker who killed the entire family of our beloved lord. That guy. kill him.

Edmiao OH! Hans the Hairy Murderer. Gotcha. didn't he try to kill the whole family but save our Hans, which would make our Hans the head of his family? so isn't Hans the hairy murderer our friend? the murderer of your family who hates you and who you want to do away with is your friend and all.

Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy

Current OAAAA XP: 75 base + 352 XP; Followers: 15 XP (current as of 8/7/09)


ED: How long did you say the interim was between act 2 and 3 again, ben? 10 years would be great, time to fit a lot of goings on.

BEN: 10 years is correct. Some things for the next session of OAAAA:
1.) Everybody will get to spend their bonus "interim" XP as they please, I've changed my mind about forcing expenditures in a certain way.
2.) I want everyone to think about their interim adventures. At the start of the nextsession, I amthinking we may do Gemini style card "prologues" in which we explore people's adventures: the person we are doing it for presents the overall theme/happenings, and then we run through it, with the group contributing details. Group bonus XP will be assigned based on cool story effects people come up with in these. If this idea seems too complex or seems like it will give other players too much involvement in your interim events,we can can it and just let each person do a narrative, in character or out.
3.) I will clarify happenings in the world at the first session of book 3.

ED: Sounds fun. I wrote up a bunch of ideas, i think there's plenty of room for adventures in between the paragraphs. Brandon, what is your email so i can send you the Tithe sheet. I may not have done a great job on him, he was pretty low on the damage potential, but still could take hits quite well. you may want to remod him, i'm sure ben would be fine with that. although i really think you should keep the pegasus, since it played a major role in the fight with the dragon. Let you fly and catch Aeten, bring him back to the battle and Aeten immediately thereafter struck the killing blow.

--Brandon 20:53, 9 August 2009 (MST) Sweet. A pegasus sounds awesome, and I was totally thinking about getting a mount for Tithe anyway, so that's perfect. I'm glad that Tithe played a solid role. My e-mail is olsenb3 [at] u.washington.edu. I would appreciate a full recap at some point, if someone has the time. Gratz, y'all!!

--Dieter the Bold 15:41, 13 August 2009 (MST) I think such a prologue adventure thing would be awesome. I heartily approve. Also, I personally would like a little GM wild-card in how points get spent, but that's just me. Ben, do you have the time/interest to do that with Galen?

BEN: sure...or rather, if you want you can use your prologue adventure thing to drive your xp expenditure. Or I'm happy to take as heavy of a hand as you want. Also, if we do this, the player who was "on the spot" would have full veto power over any card played: this may sound like a cop-out, but the point is to generate a backstory for those 10 years that appeals to the given player, and that trumps. I don't anticipate this being a problem, but it's easier to enforce than a "don't be a dick" policy. Also, any given player can just opt-out and write/come up with his own background for that time.

--Gdaze 13:48, 16 September 2009 (MST) So is that exp at the top, all the exp we have? Or am I missing the extra bit for the last 10 years? Also, Ben, should I email you with what my guy has been up to? Or are we doing this card thing?
