| − | BEN: barring major changes, I will be out of town next weekend, so no OAAAA on the 20th. Hopefully Gabe or Jason can host something.
| + | ==Discussion== |
| − | | + | --[[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. :( |
| − | ED: one of us should pick up the decks. Matt, do you want to do supers? we would need an early yea or nay from Gabe, Deiter and I to reach a quorum of 3 players. I'll be there. alternately a one shot from Gabe or Jason's lovecraftian game? Jason, if you do want to do this, let us know how early we need to get characters done by. Alternately again, I could host board games at my place.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | MATT: I'll be gone friday as well.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] 01:53, 16 February 2009 (MST) Well I can do something Friday, I'd only prefer to do it at my place cuz rides after work are hard to come by. But that said, 2 people are out, Brandon are you out too?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 10:52, 16 February 2009 (MST) Dieter is down for a one-shot, but would also love a boardgaming night. Just played ''Bootleggers'' with Jason and his crew and it was most enjoyable. Would be down for that, some Betrayal at the House, Carcassone, Caylus, etc.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: We are interested in board games. Alternatively, if I am to run a one shot, I will need characters as soon as possible. I am at the seed stage in preparation, so it still needs a story to coalesce. This is why I had asked for characters to be made beforehand so I could be fully prepared. So, everyone, shout out: Gabe one shot, Me one shot, board games?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] if deiter, gabe and ed are all in and that is enough (plus rumi?) for jason's one shot or gabes, then i'd vote for that. actually excited about the prospect of the lovecraftian shot if there's time nuf to prep. will try to get a character to you soon, hopefully tonight or tomorrow.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: I will say that I can have a game ready for Friday if I have the characters by Wednesday. They dont need to be fully perfect, but I need a backstory and points framework by then, we can make the rest work by game time. Gabe, what say you?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 11:40, 17 February 2009 (MST) I'm not sure about Friday - I'd give it a 50/50 at the moment, with a promise to update soon. Either way, I won't really be able to put together a proper character by Wednesday, since I don't have any of the books and I don't have access to Hero Designer at the moment (see hard drive crash below). I've been reading Lovecraft for a week, though, so I definitely have some thoughts about fun character types.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] if you get an archetype and a brief description, I'm sure jason or i could rustle up a character sheet.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: Yes, if we choose the Lovecraft game you dont need a full character sheet by Wednesday. The backstory is fine, I can whip up dudes pretty quickly and you can make changes as you see fit. I would suggest you send me one just in case you decide to attend, its easier to write someone out that is ready than to fit someone in without preparation.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''GABE:''' Sorry... been really sick... still am. Yeah I can play... did you guys want to do it here (have whole downstairs just for gaming)? I guess rides would be needed, perhaps? Let me know.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ED: gabe and deiter, if we are doing lovecraft, y'all need characters
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 14:17, 18 February 2009 (MST) I'm going to have to officially change my status to NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT. Sorry about that. Jason, the character looks great, sorry that you had to go through the trouble, since I can't play. I think it'd be really fun. Also, I picked up the decks from Ben's (I wanted to make a new deck and thought that I'd be able to play this weekend), so we should negotiate a transfer of the decks. Ed, is there some time tomorrow that you could swing by, or I could swing by your house to drop off the decks?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: Thats too bad, but if you dont mind, suggest any changes you want to this character, in case we do this and it becomes a semi-regular one off thing. This way you can join at any time.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 18:18, 18 February 2009 (MST) I definitely will do so, though it make take me a couple days to get to it.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Ranting and raving or other random comments== | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ED: Dieter, there is a BSG board game, that the games store guy says is great. it's a cooperative board game where all players are working together, except for the traitor (a cylon) hidden amongst the players.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 10:53, 16 February 2009 (MST) Yeah, saw it at PAX, but didn't get to see details on it. I would definitely like to give it a try sometime. | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 14:52, 16 February 2009 (MST) So, my laptop up and broke, real bad. It looks like it is a hard drive failure of some type or other (i.e., ranging from some bit is bad to BUSTED). Anyone have any expertise, or friends with expertise, in getting data off of such a hard drive? I'm trying to decide on whether to mess with it myself or have some professional mess with it. I'd rather pay you or your friend to do it, if it comes to that.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: Does it post? Does it boot? What OS? If it powers up I would suggest getting a hard drive enclosure and hooking it up to another machine and trying to extract the data. You could even return the enclosure when youre done.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 11:47, 17 February 2009 (MST) It's a Dell Vostro 1500, running XP. If I boot it up to try to run in safe mode, I am able to get past the safe mode menu screen only to invariably hit our favorite Blue Screen of Death (with the same error every time). Otherwise, it attempts to boot and either hangs or shuts off halfway through startup. I've run the diagnostic test (Dell's built in PSA), which returns one error code (2000-0142) that points to a hard drive problem. I found a place that will run a more extensive diagnostic test for cheap, so I should know more soon, but at this point I'm vetting options for trying to get the data off of the system (I have the most important stuff backed up, but ideally would like some of the other stuff as well). Thanks for the hard drive enclosure suggestion. Could this work conceivably even if the hard drive itself is the problem (in one way or another)?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: It is possible that an enclosure will work, depending on what kind of hard drive error it is. If you have a bad boot sector, and that is all, the enclosure could work since you wont be booting from the drive. Enclosures cost about $25 so its cheap (and returnable), and worth a try.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 18:43, 18 February 2009 (MST) Ok, for better or worse, the verdict is in. The hard drive is capital B BUSTED - the partition table is gone and a bunch of sectors were "lost". So, the data is recoverable, but ostensibly not in any straightforward way. The technician said that no machine would read the hard drive without the sectors being repaired and the partition table being rebuilt, which they could do to the tune of $200, which includes transferring the data onto some other hard drive. On top of that, the inverter in the monitor is going bad, and needs to be replaced. So, basically, my question now is can YOU (or your friend BILL) get the data (12GB worth) off of my machine - given the above problems - for less than $200?

| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 18:17, 18 February 2009 (MST) FYI, I found a ruling about giving a creature flying after blocking is declared:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "Giving Flying to an already Blocked Creature won't do much; It's still Blocked, by the Creature that was assigned as Blocking it. And, they will assign/deal Combat Damage to each other."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]]hmm. i think the relevant concept behind it would be this: If a creature is unblockable, then no blockers can be assigned. this functions to prevent blockers from being assigned in the "assign blockers" phase. thus a creature with "unblockable" or shadow or flying could not be blocked by certain creatures. once blockers are assigned, the blockable status of the attacker no longer matters.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 19:06, 18 February 2009 (MST) Yeah, I think that is exactly the right way to think about it. On a somewhat related note, how do you want to negotiate the transfer of the Magic cards, Ed?

| − | ED: 75 + 168xp, is that correct? Can we get a recap from last session. please tell me this orc business is over or at least nearly so.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 11:02, 16 February 2009 (MST) Incorrect. Bonus XP for being awesome. It's now 75 + 169xp. Recap is as follows:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Galen gets taken through orc camp.<br>
| + | |
| − | Galen spots the Kestrel and yucks it up with him some.<br>
| + | |
| − | Galen gets audience with Grundbad, things go well enough.<br>
| + | |
| − | Galen spots out of place hut near Grundbad's pavilion (I swear I saw chicken feet hiding under it)<br>
| + | |
| − | Galen meets up w/ Tithe and Aeten, minor melee ensues.<br>
| + | |
| − | The group announces itself (in Aefra's name) to the camp.<br>
| + | |
| − | The camp moves, but Grundbad meets us on neutral ground and we chat it up.<br>
| + | |
| − | Group gets jumped by an Imadigo ninja (aka, Sky wannabe) who tries to make off with Tithe's bag which contains Gwyndonlin's letter.<br>
| + | |
| − | Group beats on ninja (who wickedly stabs Galen in the vitals) and retrieves the bag and letter.<br>
| + | |
| − | Sasha ferries the group over to Grundbad's new camp.<br>
| + | |
| − | Group finds mysterious hut again and is invited in by..... DUNdunDUNNNNNNN!!!... ''Jagha''<br>
| + | |
| − | Tithe is suspicious and gets stuck outside where he slowly freezes and is then turned to stone.<br>
| + | |
| − | On the inside, Aeten and Galen chat Jagha up, reveal most of our mission.<br>
| + | |
| − | Tithe is turned back to normal so we can have a discussion and a new accord is reached.<br>
| + | |
| − | * All of the Auspice Bound (Daenerys and Nate's character included) owe Jagha one task of her choosing (we can all help, and she assured us they would be reasonable).<br>
| + | |
| − | * Oryxys most desires what Ixymion had, mastery of magic. There exist the Novice Tomes in Csara which can teach anyone magic. We need to go there and get the tomes. We're given 20 days to do it. We can also call on Iyi for help, and Jagha will plain do it herself if we fail to do it by 20 days (we'd prefer to avoid both of the latter two options).<br>
| + | |

| | | | |
| − | BEN: LOL. One important addition: no tasks for Jagha until Daenerys is safe from her current predicament.<br>
| + | 10/23: 7pm.......... [http://www.meetup.com/South-Seattle-Gaming-Collective/events/214246182/ TBD]......... [[Jason]], [[User:Megami|Rumi]] |
| − | As for metagame info, if y'all beeline it for the tomes (you only need one of them, there are probably 3-5 copies, distributed by the Achraea school), you should be able to get one by the end of next session. That will leave one session for the return to the island and whatever resolution lies in store for all of you in Book 1. I'm being deliberately vague on that because a.) you guys have quite a bit of freedom about how you approach the situation on the island and b.) because not everything will get wrapped up in that session. This story was, as written on the OAAAA page, conceived as a story in 3 "books", which means that you won't succeed in whack-a-mole-ing everybody. Also, player actions throughout the story have significantly changed what will happen in the last session from my original conception of it. If there are particular things you'd like to see make an appearance in the last session (people or events or things) let me know either here or via email, I'm sure I don't remember every interesting encounter y'all had during the course of the last 12 sessions.<br>
| + | |
| − | as for what happens afterwards: that's basically up to you guys. We can move on to book 2 or I can step down as GM and someone else can take over: I'm fine with either one.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | '''GABE:''' Why are we doing something for the witch?
| + | == Magic Talk == |
| | | | |
| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 14:26, 16 February 2009 (MST) A little more information might help clear up the above. First of all, Tithe wasn't necessarily suspicious, he just can't eat animal stuff, so he wanted to be sure that the potion she gave us to allow access into the hut wasn't made from animals. Since Jagha wouldn't respond, he got stuck outside. And he was turned to stone because he tried to dispel the chilling effect outside, which turned out to be from Jagha's hut, which in turn made Jagha mad enough to turn him into a statue.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Secondly, dealing with the witch meant that we have a guaranteed solution to freeing Daenerys (within 23 days) that takes place BEFORE we have to do any tasks for Jagha. So, even if we all die grisly deaths in pursuit of Jagha's tasks - which she specifically stated would not be the main goal of them - Daenerys would be free of the flame and the poison. This meant we had, basically three options:
| |
| | | | |
| − | (1) The tower - I'm only putting this one here for Gabe's sake.
| + | == Ranting and Raving == |
| | | | |
| − | (2) The shield - through meeting Grunbad and seeing the whole operation, we decided that getting the shield would be possible, but would involve a lot of time and substantial risk. While dwelling on this, we were able to meet with Jagha, who offered option 3:
| + | '''Best Trek Movies:'''<br> |
| | | | |
| − | (3) Have Jagha supply us with a needed piece in our quest to free Daenerys, in exchange for doing 7 tasks for her (one for each auspice-bound, with certain caveats) AFTER Daenerys was freed. This seemed attractive, especially since, as Dieter stated, Jagha guaranteed a result within a fortnight and offered us aid in the form of Iyi if needed. Jagha gave us a choice of helping us to get the shield and getting a novice book (which is what Oryxys most desires). We chose the latter for various reasons, the most prominent of which is that we might be able to begin reconciliation between Graendel and the elemental world in the process of obtaining the book, which we took to be an admirable task. | + | Dieter: VI, II, VIII, IV, VII, III, IX, I, X, V<br> |
| | + | Jason: VI, VIII, II, IV, IX, VII, III, X, I(?), V(?)<br> |
| | + | Rumi: VI, VIII, II, IV, VII, III, IX, I, X, V<br> |
| | + | Peter: Galaxy Quest |
| | | | |
| − | So, yes, we made a deal with a hag queen, but it seemed the best option on the table. And, Jagha seemed to regard us (the auspice bound) as an interesting curiosity rather than primarily as a tool for sinister ends, so that's something. Though, of course, we may very well end up being used for sinister ends. Does that help?
| + | --[[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. |
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.
