JASON: I will be creating a [[Deadlands GM Page]] soon, and I would greatly appreciate input on that page or its discussion page from anyone who is not part of the campaign. I would love to hear ideas or possible issues with my ideas. I need discussion for things to work, and I am requesting it from you jokers (hombres, pardners, gringos etc).

10/23: 7pm.......... [http://www.meetup.com/South-Seattle-Gaming-Collective/events/214246182/ TBD]......... [[Jason]], [[User:Megami|Rumi]]
  
Ed: Ben, cheryl claims that you have taken the mantle of uber board gamer as you won puerto rico and carcassone (and since cosmic doesn't count towards the mantle, so she says). i think it's a clever ruse.
+
== Magic Talk ==  
  
BEN: everyone knows that board gaming champion status is determined only by Settlers of Catan: everything else is fanciful frivolity.  Since my record there is like 0-50, I can't possibly be the uber board gamer.  As you say, she's just taken her psych out tactics to the pre-pre-pre-game.
 
  
JASON: Give me a break.  Catan is a puss game, especially compared to the likes of Puerto Rico.  If you win that and Carcassone, I say you are the uber board gamer.  Lets not also forget that you won Caylus too last time.

--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 08:33, 24 April 2008 (MST) nor I.  but I'm up for seeing it satruday or sunday.  so you think it's going to really really suck?  from the number of commercials they are running, i suspect so.
+
--[[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.
 
+
'''GABE:''' It is a movie with awesome affects and power armor.  Shut yer mouth fool!  Plus, its gotta be better then Cloverfield... Golden Compass... Transformers...  I mean besides Hulk, Xmen 3, and to an extant, Spiderman 3, most of the marvel movies have been pretty good.  I'm down for Saturday.
+
 
+
--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 08:42, 24 April 2008 (MST) your right, most of the comic movies have been good, besides those listed above as well as fantastic 4, FF silver surfer, blade 2, blade 3, electra, daredevil....
+
 
+
JASON: Ok dudes, Gabe is so wrong, all of those were good.  X3 was possibly the best of the X franchise.  I liked both of the FF and Daredevil too.  Those others blew goats, and throw in Catwoman (I know its DC, but its SO bad) and Blade.
+
 
+
--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 11:07, 24 April 2008 (MST) you liked FF?
+
 
+
JASON: Yes, it was a lot like Xmen, a bit of a sequel primer but overall it was true to the comic and the genre.  FF is kind of a dumb comic, thats what over powered characters are as a story: relatively boring.  Of all those Spiderman 3 was the least good.  Having Venom and Sandman both was overkill, and made them both seem weak and ineffectual, especially Venom.  Had they left off that storyline and focused entirely on Sandman, then brought Venom back in his own full vs Spidey movie, that would have ruled.
+
 
+
--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 11:27, 24 April 2008 (MST) totally agree on the spiderman 3 comment.  and, FF as a dumb comic made a dumb movie.  they tried to be tounge in cheek, but ended up with only cheek.  FF was on par with the Hulk, fun but stupid.  The X franchise were great movies in my opinion.
+
 
+
JASON: Top 5 Superhero Movies:<br>
+
1. Batman Begins<br>
+
2. X2<br>
+
3. X3<br>
+
4. Batman<br>
+
5. Spiderman
+
 
+
Ed: hmm.  i liked X1 and would add superman returns to the list.
+
 
+
JASON: Those movies were both good, but not top 5.  Superman Returns was especially good because it was so much about who he is, not what he can do.  There are a lot of good superhero movies nowadays.
+
 
+
--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 13:32, 24 April 2008 (MST)yes, there are, isn't that great?  I wonder why that is, think it's just that CGI has made them possible or is it a reflection of some aspect of society that wants heros in a terrorism scared country.  I was going to say that old superhero movies sucked, but if you watch superman 1 and 2 and kind of place it in context for when it was made it's pretty good.  i liked it when it came out.  and the original batman with keaton was good (on your list), that was like in the late 80s, I think. certainly superhero movies are more common now, i can't think of others in the 80s besides superman and batman......
+
 
+
JASON: Dude, you nailed it.  The CGI lets them do things without them being hokey, but they are successful because of the political clime that we live in.  Superman 1 and Batman were so ahead of their time.  Superman 2 was good for what it was, and somehow 3, though terrible, has a special place too.  The effects were pretty much non-existent, but Christopher Reeve was an icon who defined a super-character better than anyone with the possible exception of Patrick Stewart.
+
 
+
--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 13:54, 24 April 2008 (MST) he really did, didn't he.  the new actor playing superman really feels like Christopher Reeve but younger.  It wasn't like he made the character over, he kind of embraced Reeve's superman and maybe gave him a little bit of a melancholy twist.  He did a great job at it, but it was still Reeve's superman in my head somehow.
+
 
+
--[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 14:20, 24 April 2008 (MST) Sign Dieter the Bold up for such an endeavor. I am optimistic for this movie. I would also appreciate a ride home afterwards.
+
 
+
JASON: Iron Man recap: Dieter is in for a Thursday, midnite showing.  Ed or Gabe would be interested in a Saturday showing instead.  I could do either.  Maybe we have board gaming/bbq on Saturday and then head to Iron Man afterwards?  Could we get a better quorum for that?
+
 
+
GABE:  Okay okay, X 3 wasn't that bad... infact I'd say it was better then Spiderman 3... Which I found over-all predictable and like Jason said, putting both baddies in the movie made both of them seem weak.  Rise of the SS looked pretty bad and like others said FF is just a kinda lame comic... The Thing really makes that team interesting.
+
 
+
You know, I've never seen Batman Begins...  Is that heresey?
+
 
+
Hey, I liked the first Blade!  I never saw Daredevil but I'm sure it can't be as bad as The Hulk.  That movie was awful.  Course I didn't see all of it.  Oh wait.. aren't we forgetting Ghost Rider?  I didn't see it but my brother often repeats it is one of the worst movies he has ever seen, anyone else seen it?
+
 
+
Yeah, let us do it Saturday.
+
 
+
--[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 13:12, 25 April 2008 (MST) I'd prefer Saturday, but I am awesome enough to do it Thursday midnight.
+
 
+
JASON: Rumi has her heart set on a Thursday, midnight showing, since she has never been to one of those.  So looks like its us 3 and maybe Skippy.  What about Ben?
+
 
+
--[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 14:23, 25 April 2008 (MST) Down with midnight, and doubly-down with introducing someone to the awesomeness of geeky movie midnight premieres. Just loaned out Season 1 of BSG to someone to get them hooked on it, and have the Firefly theme-song stuck in a co-workers head since I loaned it to her.
+
 
+
--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 14:46, 25 April 2008 (MST) are others interested in board games and bbq before/after saturday iron man?  i was thinking early movie, then board games bbq afterwards on saturday
+
 
+
JASON: Depending on whether Rumi's friends are having game night (we havent been to theirs in a while), I am interested.
+
 
+
--[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 13:22, 26 April 2008 (MST) Depending on whether or not I get to hang with my dad a little this weekend (and pick up the recorded BSG episodes), I'm interested.
+
 
+
==Weekly [[Magic]] Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking==
+
 
+
Blah blah blah.
+
 
+
'''GABE:'''  '''''Oh Matt~''''' I realized I had a card to rival your sky blower.  I put him my token artifact deck because... that deck was like 3 or 4 cards short of being a legal deck.  It is now up to 60 or 61.  Anyway, look foward to it, cause I'm gonna pull it out and you will marvel at its size.
+
 
+
--[[User:Matts|Matts]] 12:20, 25 April 2008 (MST)I don't like Sky Swallower because it's big; 8/8 flying, given its effect, kinda sucks.  I like it because it's so ludicrous.
+
 
+
'''GABE:'''  Exactly!  This guy is a 9/9 trample flying for four mana... there is a price to be paid though...  Oh, and that is four colorless... First turn, one black mana, Dark Ritual, then Sol Ring.  Sweetness.
+
 
+
Something funny:
+
This is one of the reviews of Sol Ring from Troll & Toad.
+
''By golly, this card is amazing. With it I was able to get a job, save my marriage, and raise 3 kids while still beating ravager.''
+
 
+
JASON: Back in the day the swamp, dark ritual, sol ring, Juzam Djinn was the bizz-omb on the first turn.  I did it in a tourney once.

PLANS:  So just what are some steps people are thinking of taking?  If you could give me a rough idea it'd be most helpful.
+
 
+
'''The gayass story-teller''':  What a gay name.  Anyway, all looks good, I'm gonna guess that we won't make it to the big show down with the fort this week, but I could be wrong... or the character could just rush it head on.  Anyway all interesting ideas, it really helps me to see what plans people are going to take.  Also there are a few things the characters will learn on Friday.  Some hints.
+
 
+
Ed: I see we have two options if we choose to attack.  hit the corporate office or hit the hellbeast guarded factory.  When we parted, Wakhan was favoring russling up the troops, feinting attack on corporate and then making a real attack on the factory.  First, attacking the factory in the real world with a truck borne fertilizer bomb, this to draw the baddies into the real world.  then once they shift, hit the factory in the netherworld with the main force. thoughts?
+
 
+
 
+
--[[User:Matts|Matts]] 22:30, 22 April 2008 (MST)I wanted to get a good idea of what the sewer system around there looked like.  I want to use my contacts in the bum community to find someone who knows the area and might have any tips in exchange for whatever, ie roughing up people who are giving him a hard time, cooking him an honest meal, etc.
+
 
+
As far as overall strategy, I think that the truck-bomb is a good idea, but especially that the two-pronged umbral assault is a good idea.  I'm gonna ask any bums in the area about what sorts of trucks go through there, what their general look is, and where they're coming from.  The waste they're generating these beasts from has to come from somewhere.  Maybe we could hijack a real waste-truck, fill it with explosives, and do the deed that way?  Like, drive the truck in, hop into the umbra, someone else remotely detonates?
+
 
+
Diverting forces to other targets may be worthwhile, but I'm not convinced that there really are extra resources allocated to this base or that our enemy really considers us a threat.
+
 
+
--[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 11:57, 23 April 2008 (MST) Back when I was considering a crazier version of Frank, Gabe reminded me that this is post-9/11, so large "terrorist" acts might not go over so well. As much as Frank is all about blowing up some BSDs, if we start truck-bombing buildings, all Pentax has to do is nudge the authorities just so and they could put some serious heat down on us. Now blowing up the building so it was in fact a leaky gas line or something? Golden.
+
 
+
--[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 13:56, 23 April 2008 (MST) There could be a *crazier* version of Frank? Heaven forbid!
+
 
+
I'm not going to be here this week, but (so?) here are my thoughts on the matter:
+
 
+
(1) We should attack the warehouse/factory ASAP.  I'm afraid they will beef up defenses too much or move the factory if we give them the time to do so.  I guess I think that our enemy sees us as more of a threat than Matt thinks.
+
 
+
(2) I agree with Wakhan that more reinforcements = better, though I also agree with Dio that we need a creative plan rather than an all-out straightforward attack.
+
 
+
(3) Christopher is going to attempt to figure out how to most effectively utilize his new rite.  One possibility might be enacting the rite somewhere away from the warehouse, and then escorting the Chinook spirit (through the Umbra, perhaps with Redemeer's help) to the site to ensure it isn't taken out by defender spirits.  This plan could easily be integrated with a number of the other plans, and would be a good redundant destruction plan.  That is, if explosives don't work (or the plan is thwarted), maybe the rite will.  Indeed, I like best the plan where we feint with a huge force (explosives or otherwise - I'm sensitive to Dieter's worries), pull as many guards as we can from the Umbra into the real world, and then move in in the Umbra (with the Chinook spirit Rite as our Umbral version of the explosion threat).
+
 
+
(4) Lastly, I think that the move on Talos (sp?) Industries could be done in a more clandestine manner, especially since all we want is the laptop. To the best of our knowledge, they don't know that anyone has any idea that the laptop is there, or that it is important.  And, since the Umbral approach looks difficult there, I think a spy-like real world approach is most promising.  One thought is to approach them as prospective business partners to get inside.  With Dio's computer skills and Christopher/Wakhan's ability with Enigmas, we could probably convince them that we have some killer code-encryption or something.  Also, Christopher's people skills (Befriend, Empathy) mixed with stealth skills (Invisibility ftw!) might allow him to move around inside. And, of course, Underdog, Lee's Character, and Frank make a to-die-for distraction/S.W.A.T. team.
+
 
+
--[[User:Matts|Matts]] 20:36, 23 April 2008 (MST)I think for the laptop, we could stage it like a gang robbery.  Underdog's got some gang contacts and the like, word could get out about some valuable shit being up in there, and "certain parties" could be interested in the laptop.  OR!  Dio goes to interview for an internship, some of us start a ruckus and allow him to get out with the laptop.  OR!  We impersonate the Mexican cleaning staff and nab it (Underdog speaks Spanish!).
+
 
+
BEN: I think the job app is a good idea, although we don't even have to get the laptop right away.  As long as I can get a fake id, so to speak.  Dio will want to research how information gets in and out of the factory: if they have phone lines, where do they run?  do they have radios?  Is there a courier that goes to and from the building?  could we jump said courier and get valuable intel off of him/her?  Do they do any communication or other stuff through the umbra?  Also, how would the weaver feel about this factory?  could we pass bumping it off off on their team?  As mentioned above, what sorts of delivery trucks go in/out?  Are they hooked up to the electrical grid?  If they have their own generators, they must be shipping in gasoline constantly.

Latest revision as of 17:20, 15 January 2017

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.
