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

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!

--Brandon 14:38, 8 May 2009 (MST) I saw Wolverine last night, and - even expecting only to be entertained by claws and flips and sideburns - I was disappointed. I thought that a lot of choices they made were pretty dumb (as Jason said), especially stuff that, to the best of my knowledge, wasn't from the comics, and getting past the dumb stuff didn't leave enough stuff to satisfy me. Hugh Jackman, though, is a good Wolverine, even if he's too tall. I'll give him that.

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

JASON: Everyone, if possible, take a look at this and leave me some kind of comment/idea: RPG Randomness

GABE: Anybody know a good cheap online store who sells boxes of CCGs, not really looking for magic.

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.

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.

BEN: it was awesome to have everyone there on Friday: sorry that the battle with the Roc took so long, and double sorry that the two people who have had to miss lately were the two that got grabbed (esp. Brandon). The characters reached Karak Bjorst and managed to get access to the Keep itself using the Seal of Juun. Next up: tracking down and hiring Fafnir, the legendary ex-pirate who, inexplicably, spends most of his time in a dwarven hold that is 100% landlocked.

--Brandon 15:51, 12 May 2009 (MST) Don't apologize. It's my fault that my character is devoted to selflessly protecting his fellows, and doubly my fault that I had extra motivation to protect Aefra because I earlier broke that tenet by hurting her (which, btw, I think was out of character. Although Tithe had reason to be more pissed at Aefra's actions than usual,given some recent events, I don't think that he would've harmed her in the way that he did, unless you chalk it up to Tithe not intending to actually harm her and forgetting how fragile she is).
