BEN: sour taste as in "Is that all you got, biatch?!  I'm callin' you out for round two!  Pain Train's comin', baby!  Woo-Woo!"<br>
+
==Food & Scheduling Talk==
or sour taste as in "That was a lame fight" ? (I assume the former, but I know it's not much fun as a player to get beaten on the battlefield, even only temporarily).<br>
+
<u>What is Being Scheduled?</u> 1/15, [[Lost Tales of Runners Fore]]<br>
That being said...we can go for another OAAAA this upcoming friday if y'all want.  You guys are coming up on some pretty significant sessions, so if you want to go this route, please let me know soon so I can plan accordingly.

<u>What Time Are We Starting?</u> 3pm<br>

<u>Where Are We Playing?</u> Rumi's<br>

<u>What Are We Eating?</u> Eat lunch ahead of time<br>
  
--[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] 21:22, 11 October 2008 (MST) I don't mind gettin' beaten, I just wish it had been faster.  That said I'm okay for either, but we already cut supers short last time.
+
'''[[In next week's episode:]]''' (A brief look at/reminder where the next episode might go, based on player input)
  
[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] sour taste as in it's no fun getting beat and no i want to pound that guys face into the ground.  or rather i want to watch the rest of my group pound that guys face into the ground while i cast my new spells which maybe will help (just a little) them pound his face into the ground.

--[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 22:53, 12 October 2008 (MST) I'm interested in playing OAAAA again this week, because I've got a sour taste in my mouth as well.  Also, I think that I'm going to drop out of the supers game. I have to go back to playing in only one campaign, because I've got to be getting more dissertation work done than I have been, and I've missed more supers and am a bit less connected to it than OAAAA (though I was having fun doing it as well). Lame, I know, but it's how it is to be. I might be able to swing by for Magic on some off weeks, and can probably drop in occasionally as well.  I'll keep you posted.

--[[User:Megami|Megami]] 22:45, 23 December 2015 (MST) For early 2016 on Fridays, Rumi will be out on 3.11 and 3.18. Will be out of the country so no alternate dates available for these weeks. :(
  
BEN: ok, it sounds like we are going OAAAA this week.  Given that, the next FOUR sessions will be at Matt's disposal for Supers, so that we keep things fair and balanced (like your mother and a sperm whale, for instance). That does NOT include the 31st weekend, which as far as I can tell is going to be a CANCEL.  We can discuss in the coming weeks (based largely on Matt and the material he has ready) if we want to switch back to OAAAA before December.<br>

--[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 11:46, 4 September 2008 (MST) Alright lads. We're gamers, so we're lazy by definition. I am lazier than most. But Halloween is a holiday I always feel bad about for not coming up with an awesome costume. I hereby forward the motion that we make that session a costumed session. Two months to come up with something awesome and wear it to the session. Bonus points to be awarded for those who come as their characters.
+
--[[User:Jason|Jason]] 12:38, 22 January 2013 (MST)Ladies and gentledudes, I have received an email from Ed and he is officially populating the earth with Edlings. He now has two kids, a boy (Theo) and a girl (Ella). He seems to be doing well, and I continue to be jealous of him. Reckanize.
 
+
--[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] 11:00, 5 September 2008 (MST) I'm pretty sure I will be busy on said day.  If I'm not, I will come in costume... but one it is over 2 months away so I have no idea, and two, yeah, typically I got out on that holiday.
+
 
+
BEN: as far as halloween goes, and as long as we've opened the can of worms that is switching sessions from friday to saturday or vice versa, the 31st of october may be an ideal candidate for saturday, as opposed to friday, gaming.  Either way, I still think people should come dressed as their characters.
+
 
+
--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 14:24, 8 September 2008 (MST) Definitely will be gone if Friday 10/31, might be able to make Saturday 11/1 but won't be able to tell you until the day o
+
 
+
--[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 22:53, 12 October 2008 (MST) I doubt I'll be able to make gaming either Friday or Saturday at this point.

[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] Jason, i have some old comics, you in the business of buying still?  or trading for magic cards?  i have a bunch of spawn and the angel spinoff from the late 90s, and then a bunch from the late 1980s of a big DC crossover event, where the green lantern corps and the guardians got their ass kicked by manhunters, and some other random stuff, including the Maxx.  kind of just sitting around in a box in my house forever for no apparent reason.
+
 
+
JASON: I do buy comics, but that kind of stuff is really common.  I could trade for Magic cards, but it would have to be commons and uncommons.  I will look at them though, and if there is something exceptional in there I could possibly give a little more.
+
 
+
[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] i'd trade it for uncommons and commons.  it's just sitting around not doing much.  i'll bring them the next time i see you.  this weekend, hopefully for some magic?
+
 
+
JASON: Rumi and I would like to get together to do something.  My magic decks really need an overhaul, which is strange considering I have so many damn cards now.  I just havent been taking many for myself.  I can only justify using 50 cent rares or the commons and uncommons usually.  I have about 25000 cards you can look through to find a trade for your comics.  We can make this work.
+
 
+
'''GABE:''' when did the X-Men start killing so many people... jeez.
+
 
+
[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] what?  who did they kill now?  and did they stay dead, cus they killed magneto like 10 times and he keeps coming back.  Phoenix too.
+
 
+
'''GABE:''' Well Phoenix is like a force that has been around since the begainning of time so you can't kill it.  I dunno if they will stay dead, but they've just been killing each other.  A lot of the younger mutants have been killed off, they fought these people called Childern of the Vault, killed almost ALL of them.  Crazyness.

[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] I wonder if the suveilance cameras caught cortez and the battle on tape, could be good PR sort of the Guardians most wanted list.

+
--[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] 02:29, 21 September 2008 (MST) Yeah... except then we went to the park and fought the mutant kid... had to knock out a bunch of teens with Ash Berry's spores... and um... he got away...
+
 
+
--[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 12:37, 21 September 2008 (MST) I just want to say that that last battle had a lot of great moments.  Silver Snake being thrown into the air and then transforming and swinging back down in mid air; Ashbury flying above the crowd of teenagers and releasing pollen everywhere; Elemental taunting Zeus, and then not budging when the counterattack came; Brimstone walking with Silver Snake as armor, dragging a line of fire through the air, and then teleporting inside of Zeus's shield.  Good times, all.

BEN: note here for DIETER: You intend to buy a +30 PRE for your character, and when I ok'd it, I was thinking you had a 10 PRE.  But I now realize you have a 20 PRE.  I just told Ed that it doesn't make sense for his creature to have a PRE above 40, and I think that upper limit should apply to you as well, for now.  Even with the blessing of the gods, I have trouble believing you would get more intimidating than a greater dragon.  So, take it down to +20 PRE, please.
+
 
+
[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] appears i was wrong about END and active points.  hero designer says 25 Active Points costs 2 END and 26 Active Points costs 3 END.
+
 
+
--[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 22:53, 12 October 2008 (MST) We should all think about strategy for dealing with ninja orc, especially if we are playing this Friday, but even if we aren't.
+
 
+
(1) I'm thinking about getting a hold person-type power, which is something I've been wanting to create for a while (I was thinking about it last week with the Suppress) and is something I think could help.  Take a look at [[Tithe]] for my possible powers.  I'd love feedback since you guys know the system better than I do.
+
 
+
(2) I'm also thinking about simply trying to skirt the stupid orc and get past him into the cave, so that we can just continue on our way without dealing with him. I can now silence all of us, I think, if we stand really close together.  So, one thought would be to sneak on past him while giving him a wide berth.  Seemed like he had a good orc nose, though . . .
+
 
+
[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] my character will be open to more sneaky suggestions, but restrained by her player who wants to kill ninja orc.  Brandon, you should try Entangle powers if you want something like hold person.  if it is a mental entangle, you could make it "based on ego combat value"  such as the following:
+
 
+
17 points Entangle 2d6, 2 DEF, Takes No Damage From Attacks Limited Group (+1/4), Works Against EGO, Not STR (+1/4), Based On EGO Combat Value (Mental Defense applies; +1) (50 Active Points); Spell (-1/2), No Range (-1/2), Cannot Form Barriers (-1/4), Gestures (-1/4), Incantations (-1/4), Stops Working If Mentalist Is Knocked Out (-1/4)
+
 
+
if you buy the vs ego it will be hard as heck to get out of for most characters, i think.  they roll ego/5 d6, so an ego 10 would roll 2d6 and count the body.  average 2d6 roll is 2 body, which would be soaked by the Entangles 2 DEF, and no one can help them.  so they are pretty fucked.  a 15 ego character should get out in two turns.  to escape they must do body damage to the entangle equal to the body you roll on 2d6 (average will be 2 body).
+
 
+
I think you may need GM permission to take a spell without a magic skill roll, though.  buying a magic skill roll costs a fuck ton of points.  3 for 11-, 4 more to get 13- and 8 more to get 15-.  at 15- your spell only works on a dice roll of 10 or less (skill roll penalty is active points/10 thus minus 50/10 = 5 to your roll).
+
 
+
it might be eaiser to buy a real Net or something for a real weapon entangle.  look in the equipment book.  it might look something like this
+
 
+
8 points Net (2 nets):  Entangle 3d6, 3 DEF (30 Active Points); 2 Charges (-1 1/2), OAF Expendable (Easy to obtain new Focus; -1), Real Weapon (-1/4)
+
 
+
--[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 00:37, 13 October 2008 (MST) I should've been more clear that I've got some sample powers on the [[Tithe]] page (under Questions for GM).  Thanks, though, Ed.  Those are some helpful thoughts.  I've got to get a weigh-in from Ben about the magic skill roll stuff.
+
 
+
[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] what about buying some martial arts and including Martial Grab.  or combat skill levels with normal Grab.  literally Holding Person
+
 
+
'''GABE:''' Yeah, as Ed said, spells cost an assload to use at even an okay level.  With a 13- you will fail quite often and most spells unless they are 20 or under active points.  Although it may be cheaper to buy some spells at a -1 per 20 points, but I'd rather improve my ability to use all my spells instead of one.  Remember any skills over 14 points is double cost.
+
 
+
Have you thought about giving Tithe a buff up ability?  Like he aids his speed and str?  With perhaps charges, once to three times a day?
+
 
+
I could just make a potion of running and we leave him in the dust.  Though really I see no reason to fight him.
+
 
+
BEN: any skill over 13 points is double cost.<br>
+
nice "outside the box" thinking on the running potion.  LoL.  regarding that, you probably remember that his run was 11".
+
 
+
[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] you should totally do a potion of movement.  give Aeten a strength potion and move of 12 and he will kick some living ass.  Gabe, if you are into buffing others, Aefra would appreciate a potion that would provide resistant defense.  not sure how to rationalize it, but a potion of force field would be sweet.  also, she would like a potion of preening, so you could just drink it and all the dirt and grime would fall off you and your clothes and your hair would get done up nicely.  Minor transform: dirty person into clean and primped person.
+
 
+
--[[User:Matts|Matts]] 12:29, 13 October 2008 (MST)I'm thinking of dumping 6 points into PD so that I don't keep getting stunned, though it won't help immensely on the not-getting-knocked-out-cold front.
+
 
+
That said, I deeply resent this orc for making me spend points on this kind of thing.  He seems like a nice enough fellow aside from the merciless beatings, but points in PD are not points in bridges, and that's a crime!
+
 
+
'''GABE:''' Oops, right, 13-, still equals expensive.
+
 
+
Matt, there are many kind of bridges, but you are a stone bridge, and a bridge must have a strong foundation less it be swept away from the very forces it is trying to cross.  Or just buy some leather armor.
+
 
+
Yes, I can make a scale potion.
+
 
+
--[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 14:34, 13 October 2008 (MST) Hmmmm.  Maybe I should just buy a bunch of points in Run (is there a characteristic Maxima for Run?).  I seem to keep finding it character-appropriate to run places.  It would help if I was better at it.  Regardless, we should coordinate this time around so that we don't all, for example buy Entangle, or increased Speed.  Or, you know, maybe we should just all buy the same thing so we can run circles around ninja orc-face.
+
 
+
'''GABE:''' Or just run past him. Why do we have to fight him?  Its all a misunderstanding. Oh... I just came up with an awesome plan...
+
 
+
[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] does it involve your mom, a car battery and 60 pounds of jelly donuts?

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.
