Revision as of 19:56, 9 July 2008

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

7/11/08 - WWolf

GABE: So Matt and Brandon are gone, is everyone else pretty sure they will be game for Friday? Also, magic at six?

--Edmiao 15:49, 9 July 2008 (MST) present, should be there at 6 for magic.

--Dieter the Bold 17:36, 9 July 2008 (MST) Present. Interested in pizza.

7/18/08 - likely Guttersnipes!

--Brandon 10:34, 8 July 2008 (MST) Check out my thoughts about the basic concept of the Shadowrun one-shot at: Guttersnipes!.

--Edmiao 15:49, 9 July 2008 (MST) i should be there, and ben. Kim? Deiter? Jason? sound off!

KIM: As the only fem character is a voiceless quadriplegic NPC, I'm gonna take the free-pass to get shit done that needs doing in prep for my lengthy hiatus this fall... I know, lame.

JASON: I dont have any interest in Shadowrun, so I am probably out.

--Dieter the Bold 17:36, 9 July 2008 (MST) I may bail as well (less than 10% chance) since everyone else seems to have, but if I don't I'm totally down with Shadowrun. Fine with any of the characters.

--Brandon 17:40, 9 July 2008 (MST) Jason, I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. I don't have any interest in your mom, but I'm in her anyway. ZING! And Dieter, really only Gabe and Matt have bailed, and they don't count as people, generally. BURN!

BEN: yeah, I'm in, as always. If we don't have a quorum, though, I'd like to know about it early enough that I can plan accordingly.

--Gdaze 18:07, 9 July 2008 (MST) I don't recall Brandon being this insulting... did we corrupt him like Ed?

--Brandon 18:23, 9 July 2008 (MST) Hey man, when in Rome, one feeds Christians to lions! But really, I'm only insulting in the most ridiculous ways possible, so I don't think it counts.

Ranting and raving or other random comments

"Gabe's Mummy was a swine - a scum-cunted, likkered-up, brain-sick swine. She was lazy and slothful and dirty and belligerent and altogether evil. Gabe's Ma was a soak - a drunk - a piss-eyed hell-bag with a taste for the homebrew." - from And the Ass Saw the Angel by the ever eloquent Nick Cave.

--Edmiao 15:56, 9 July 2008 (MST) yes, i am Bored at work

GABE: I was wondering how long that would take you to put up, heh heh.

Other RPG or Non-RPG gaming Events

Monthly Board Gaming Day

Dark Knight I've just purchased tickets for myself and kim for SATURDAY, JULY 19th at 9 PM at the seattle IMAX. Anyone else who wants to come see THE superhero movie with us on THE big screen, feel free.

KIM: My friends are NOT coming up from Portland, therefore we now have two spare pre-paid tickets to IMAX... who wants them?

--Edmiao 15:57, 9 July 2008 (MST)trying to convince cheryl to do this still. she shies away from the opening weekend crowd thing. but working on it....

BEN: it's at imax, where there is always a sold out show, really, but the seating is such that this isn't really a problem. Kim and I may actually have two extra tickets if two of our friends don't show (which is likely).

KIM: My mention of our two spare tickets was what Ed replied to, captain obvious. ZING!

--Brandon 17:43, 9 July 2008 (MST) Kate and I are interested! Ed, let us know if you and Cheryl are in, so we know whether or not we should buy tickets.

JASON: I got tickets for the midnight opening at the Cinerama. I am also considering hitting the IMAX with you guys.

--Brandon 23:25, 7 July 2008 (MST) Ben, sorry that I didn't come by; time got away from me and it was past 9:30 before I knew it. I'd like to come by at some point this week to pick up the Shadowrun book. Let me know a good day/time to come by, and if some faeries get into a fight with some elves while I'm there, so be it. I'm getting kind of excited about the prospect of running a one-shot, so I should have the book around.

JASON: The Tukwila Half Price Books has a ton of books for Shadowrun, both editions.

JASON: Also, I will be having a massive shindig for mine and Rumi's birthdays on either August 30th or 31st. I would like to see as many of you jokers as possible attend. Mark it on your calendar. I am planning on renting a venue so we have plenty of space for games, Rock Band, and partying. Does anyone know of a centrally located, reasonably priced, venue?

GABE: I'd like to come, I'm trying to be more social. A central and big location for partying thats cheap? *insert your mom comment*

KIM: Oooh, I'll be back in town then, might have a job that weekend, but will try to keep it during reasonable hours so that I can show up and commandeer the potato chip bowl... *nom nom nom*

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

--Matts 10:45, 2 July 2008 (MST)In progress: [1]

--Gdaze 00:17, 7 July 2008 (MST) Good magic today! My green/blue deck held its own but most of the matchs went to the Ferry deck! Oh also I'm not suppose to tell Matt I have that 7 mana scarecorw that can move -1/-1 tokens off of it for free.

--Brandon 09:11, 7 July 2008 (MST) Oh noes! You let the Grim Poppet out of the bag! Also, you shouldn't feel bad about the dominance of the ferry deck. Those Staten Island and Port Angeles cards are really frustratingly annoying.

JASON: There is a Port Angeles ferry? I have used the Mukilteo/Clinton card to make a ridiculous Whidbey Island deck. It always seems to remind me of The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.

--Brandon 15:38, 9 July 2008 (MST) Yeah, I remember when you won that one game by blowing up your own building. Classic! Speaking of which, Jason, are you interested in joining in on the one-shot next Friday?

GABE: You know, I guess I forgot, and I don't think many of us remembered either... or maybe it is just me, but after one thing resolves in the stack, you can respond to the next thing before it resolves... I thought once everyone was done, that was it, but I guess not, you can keep the stack going... HMMM!

--Edmiao 16:18, 9 July 2008 (MST) duh. we gotta play my blue white control vs your blue red draw decks again.

GABE: Even then we didn't wait though, we just cast everything and let it all resolve, not one at a time, then respond. I think I could have controlled it better had I known, kekeke.

--Edmiao 16:24, 9 July 2008 (MST) i had nothing else to do to alter it, and i think that most of the things would have turned out the same... at least anything i could do would have turned out the same.

JASON: I am in the process of making a giant magic buy. If it comes to pass I can sell you guys cards cheap, 10 cents for commons, 25 cents for uncommons and a buck for rares. Its mostly the newest 3 blocks too.

The Next Step in Werewolf

Werewolf Recap

There will be blood.

Next step in Super Heroes

--Edmiao 08:50, 1 July 2008 (MST)so what did i miss?

BEN: we battled the juice for a bank and the juice's reputation, then we battled silver skinned dudes for hostages at the museum of natural history, then we battled a giant demon for hot girls about to be sacrificed to an artifact, then we battled Cortez, who possessed Brim and sent ancient Aztec spirits to kick our asses and flew off in a giant steampunk ship in Brim's body. You know, the usual.

GABE: We were a little busy that day.

--Brandon 16:52, 2 July 2008 (MST) Don't forget that we became acquainted with a mysterious individual who seems to be able to (1) call you wherever you are and (2) possess an entire platoon of Roombas. Be afraid, be very afraid.

--Dieter the Bold 18:27, 2 July 2008 (MST) Especially considering who makes the Roomba

--Gdaze 20:02, 2 July 2008 (MST) Gawd help us!

--Gdaze 00:19, 7 July 2008 (MST) Are we gonna run supers that week everyone is gone, or rather are you Matt? I mean Dieter is only KINDA playing, it leaves only me and Ed for most of it.

--Edmiao 08:39, 7 July 2008 (MST)did deiters computer dude get into the story last time? this next session could be a deiter-centric prequil to introduce the character

Ben: Matt is gone until the 25th of July, so when is the next session of supers scheduled?

--Gdaze -- I was guessing August 1st?

MATT: August 1, yes. We'll run supers. Brandon not being there works out well for the particular story, and Ben not being there just means there will be some close shaves! We can certainly work in a Teletraan-7 prequel if desired.

--Dieter the Bold 16:33, 7 July 2008 (MST) Not so interested in a prequel for Teletraan-7. If people would like to establish something I'm fine with simply talking it out and saying "This is now so".

--Brandon 17:51, 7 July 2008 (MST) Also, Ed, I should've been more clear that the mysterious, Roomba possessor mentioned above was, in fact, Teletraan-7, so he's been introduced, albeit mysteriously.

--Edmiao 18:15, 7 July 2008 (MST) ahh! bueno. what is a roomba?

--Matts 08:50, 8 July 2008 (MST)IRobot Website
