Current events
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
ED: absent
Matts - I think that with Ben and Ed absent, we'll probably have to can it for Friday night.
--Gdaze 11:29, 30 March 2009 (MST) Yes, at least as far as supers goes. That was pretty intense, poor old Steven has no idea what to do.
That said, MATT, BRANDON, DIETER, I could put together a one shot, I have a lot on the plate right now, but would like if all 3 of you would be interested. Or if not, would anyone be interested in magic that night? Let me know! I think Brandon is outta town for like 3 weeks yes? Dieter? What about you?
I only say this because Friday nights are pretty much one of the few times I can get out.
--Dieter the Bold 15:19, 30 March 2009 (MST) What kind of one-shot you thinking? I'm going to the ECCC on Saturday, so I don't want to get too crazy too late. I'm leaning towards just staying home, but I could be persuaded if we got a happenin' group together.
--Gdaze -- Depending on, of course, if others want to... I guess that'd be up to the group, I have a bunch listed on my page, just just let me know. Warhammer RPG systems are easy and quick for character generation and such.
Guess its what you all 3 would feel, sci-fi or fantasy.
[[User::Matts|Matts]] - I'm probably leaning towards staying home as well, spend a friday night with the missus.
--Gdaze -- What are you people, agoraphobia (says the person with such disorder)? So is that a solid NO from yaz Matt?
--Brandon 16:51, 30 March 2009 (MST) What are you trying to say, Gabe? Do you want to take this outside? ; )
I'm also going to be part of the lame crew, since I definitely cannot make it to do anything this Friday. I'm interested in getting together for Magic some other evening this week, though, if others are.
--Gdaze-- Hero Clix, Hero Clix! Ah mercy. Yus, I'm interested in some magic this week. Wed or Thursday works for me.
--Brandon 10:13, 31 March 2009 (MST) I'm interested in playing Magic on Wednesday, though I'd have to get cards from Ben and I know he's busy Wednesday night. I might be able to do Thursday also. Others?
--Gdaze-- Wait... isn't Ben in Cali right now? Is it possible to contact his roomy?
BEN: I'm around till thursday night...I leave friday morning, but will be busy Thurs. night. I am also busy wed. night and tonight, but I can arrange for a pickup in the early evening(s) or any time during the day.
BRANDON: Gabe, let's play tomorrow (wednesday). What time is good for you? I should be able to get a car and swing by Ben's in the early evening to get my decks.
--Gdaze-- Sure I can play today (Wed). I usually get home around 6:30, so if you wanna come by around 7 that'd be cool. Let me know if this is all good.
--Brandon 09:44, 1 April 2009 (MST) OK. Sounds good. I'll plan on getting to you around 7. Ummm, didn't you move or something? If so, tell me where you live (on here or via e-mail is fine: olsenb3@u.washington.edu).
Ben, could I swing by your house on the way, say 6:30 or so? Or would it need to be earlier? Just let me know, because I should be pretty flexible this evening.
--Gdaze-- Flexible eh... you're gonna need that, boi. Anyway here are directions to my place since I don't know my address that well yet.
Take 405 NORTH from 520.
Take exit 20a.
Take a left, you can only go right or left, and you want to be in the far left lane.
Continue on under the bridge to the first light, you will take a left AT the light, onto 120th AVE. N.E.
You'll come to a 3 way stop, take a right at it. (This puts you on NE 112th ST.)
You'll go past 2 speed bumps and an elementry school on your right, you want to take a left after the 2nd speed bump onto 112th Ave. N.E.
Take the first right after this, my house is the one that will be on your right, it is a gross teal green set very high compaired to the other houses. Call me if you're not sure which one.
I used google maps to get all these directions.
BEN: it will have to be earlier...I have to be at the dinner at 7, so I will have to leave my house by that time. 6:15 should work tho. If you guys think you will still be playing at 9:30-10 I might be able to join in...I'll just give you a call, Gabe.
--Brandon 11:10, 1 April 2009 (MST) 6:15 is fine. I'll plan on being there by then or before.
--Gdaze -- Sounds good Ben, although I dunno if we'll (I'll) go so late. But we shall see.
--Dieter the Bold 12:08, 2 April 2009 (MST) I'll go ahead and decline any Friday night activities for this week. I really want to pick up a limited run print at ECCC on Saturday. And not a bad idea Gabe. I think my only real issue w/ the Supers game is that it seems too silly. I'm totally down with cracking jokes in-game and the like, but if the actual characters are acting all ridiculous when running around and the like it just turns me off. Not something I want to be spending my nights doing.
--Gdaze -- Haha, yeah think Friday was canned like a few days ago. I'm guessing the rest of your post is referring to what I posted below.
Well I think that is part of supers. Read a comic, they crack jokes and act all ridiculous quite a bit (depending on comic). For exmaple Arch-Angel complaining about the hacker kid basically stealing all his trust funds, She-Hulk use to break the fourth wall often, and what not. But again, not your play style. That said, what kinda game would you be interested in playing, or NOT playing?
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!
Other RPG or Non-RPG or Monthly Board Gaming Day gaming Events
GABE:
Alright, so I'm going to throw this out there, not to cause a shit storm or anything. I see that later this year one of the current games may stop or whatever... not sure. All have a lot going on, but if everyone is okay with it I'd like to run the next game. BUT, I'd like to run a game everyone would like to play... DIETER. I know Brandon dropped due to time restrictions.
I'm just asking this now not to generate excitment or anything like that, but I'd like to know what to work on next. As in what kinda game people will actually get into. I dunno, am I outta line for asking this? Let me know.
Also whatever game we end up playing next I'd like to not use the hero system. Again just kinda seeing what kind-a games people might wanna play after one of the current ones end. Like Sci-Fi, whatever. Or if people think that hey, maybe I don't even want two games at a time, say that too. I'm just saying this because our player base has dropped so.
BEN: that's fair. I'll be game for whatever, especially given that my attendance will be spotty at times...but overall I think I can make a fun and interesting character in most settings.
GABE: Yeah and again I'm just trying to have something set up for when that does happen, I'm quite enjoying both games.
--Dieter the Bold 11:23, 6 April 2009 (MST) I enjoy fantasy and scifi most. I wouldn't mind a horror campaign (modern or otherwise) either. Previous games I've really enjoyed have been the Iliadic campaign, Post-Apocalypse, the current Amor campaign, Cyberpunk and Warhammer. I'm not a huge fan of Supers (can be if it's played more straight) or Werewolf/Vampire (too much posing and posturing).
Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking
ED: anyone use iGoolge? mtg backdrop
--Gdaze 11:31, 30 March 2009 (MST) +5 nerd points. Although that is cool.
--Gdaze-- So the match ups up were pretty intense last night, several games with both Brandon and I at under 10 life. That said I think I can now say that my warrior deck is fairly strong in one on one games. (Brandon, how did warriors and elementals fair again?)
--Brandon 11:29, 6 April 2009 (MST) Yes, 'twas good. Warriors and Elementals were a good matchup. If I remember correctly, it was either 1-1 or 2-1 (in elementals' favor).
--Brandon 11:29, 6 April 2009 (MST) I apologize in advance to everyone - except Ed - for posting this:
"Q: In an EDH game, one player has both Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir as well as Eye of the Storm. Is that as broken as we think it is?
A: Pretty much. Copies from Eye of the Storm are played during the resolution of the Eye's triggered ability. That's a time when a sorcery normally can't be played, so Teferi stops everybody else at the table from getting copies out of the Eye.
It's also important to remember that the instant or sorcery that triggers Eye of the Storm gets removed from the game, so it never resolves. A copy of it can be created, but that does no good if it can't be played.
I'm definitely writing that combo down; I haven't been banned from my local EDH group, so my deck obviously isn't broken enough."
Next step in Super Heroes
--67.170.22.232 01:23, 21 March 2009 (MST)Everyone gets 12xp!
Things that are going on:
the juice and his son are at large, not seen since they helped with the battle vs Emir
Emir abu kaliq is in prison, captured for putting a virus into wall street, taking stock brokers hostage, demanding ransom and killing one of them.
Oppenheimer, the radioactive power source corpse, is in an oceanic trench sealed in a concrete box. the feds want him back and they know we took him. we have been avoiding the feds.
The government was maybe using oppenheimer to make some weapon, they seem to need "quicksilver" ie silver serpent, to make this weapon.
The Artifecier (sp?) thinks the old ones are waking up. who is the artificer? who are the old ones?
The Explorators (SP???) work for the above named client and have brought back 3 ancient warriors, who are now at large.
Super Roids Factory Super roids factory was taken down, head scientist killed, links were found to Emir abu kaliq. got warrant for his office and found more incriminating evidence. this issue resolved..?
chat
--Gdaze 11:30, 30 March 2009 (MST) You know, I wish Robert had been given the kind of power given to my hero's character... I dunno what to do, redo character, or create life on the moon...
Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy
Current OAAAA XP: 75 base + 215 XP
Plans to save Danny-Girl from the dragon
These are the ones i remember.....
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: that's...hmmm, I didn't think of that. That's a really good idea, actually. Oh, I'd also like to add: along with good insight in the last session, the bonus XP was due to Aefra's exceptionally commendable moral decision, to stay loyal to Grendel despite no perceived benefit. I tried ot make it as easy as possible to cast off from that, and I was very pleasantly surprised when Aefra did the heroic thing and said "FU, crotchety old bigot! BFFs 4 life!" So, a tip o' the XP hat to Aefra this past session.
Edmiao ha, groovey. seemed like the only choice she could make, actually, she's very loyal.
Yeah, gabe, they would have gotten their asses kicked by Lyra, but again, had to play the character. Calling in the guards seemed like the next best option to fight her without getting our asses kicked. it is much more interesting with her still at large, though. It occurs to me that the original plan was to have the flame put out to retrieve Danny-girl before administering the cure anyway, so folks must not have been too concerned about putting the flame out.....?
I like the Salazar's pet idea. foom!
GABE: Calling guards is a good idea, it makes it so we look good. And yeah, lets use the pet, bonus points Aten!
--Dieter the Bold 12:42, 19 March 2009 (MST) Nice idea, Aeten. And I vote we cut ties w/ Lyra. Not because Galen's super-pissed about the forge, but because I'm not sure we want to get involved with a very mercenary slayer who goes after the souls (XP) of powerful beings/things. I just don't think she's good peoples.
Edmiao If we cut ties with her, then we owe her some LOOTZ. what was the deal we made?
GABE: Um, she is no worse then me, and she sticks to her word, to the T. If we don't do it, we can't get the tears. Tears are very needed, with them I could perhaps make something to dose the dragon's breath. (Meta-game, we are still most likely going to loose some characters, but what a fight, with a dragon! Speaking entirly outta game, I wanna fight a dragon.)
Edmiao Metagame: haven't we wanted to fight a dragon from the get go? So, i think those characters with pride should suck it up and we should stay with the deal with Lyra, we need as much help as possible. She'll help us fight the dragon, and if she dies, cest la vie.
