Revision as of 13:48, 25 August 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.

Monthly Board Gaming Day

shindig on aug 30/31

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*

--Dieter the Bold 16:37, 21 July 2008 (MST) Will be moving into a new place, but should be able to spare a day. Consider me attending. The only venue I could think of that's sorta' central and maybe reasonably priced is an educational building. Gym of a high school, community college, Seattle U., etc.

BEN: saturday August 23: if anyone wants to come by and play some magic tonight, I'm down.

Other Games

--Dieter the Bold 16:48, 17 August 2008 (MST) I now have a City of Villains character with Gabe and Noelle on the Virtue server. If Matt#2 wants to go low level with us, the more the merrier. Character name: Jorus Bonesplitter, Brute

GABE: Yeah 'cept your never around to play! I'm emailing Matt#2 tonight, been quite busy this weekend.

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

BEN: made two new decks: a blue draw deck and a green biggy deck based around morph creatures, turn to mist, and momentary blink.

MATT: My Homarid deck did a lot better than I figured!

JASON: I have lots of good morph creatures but I never use morph. Maybe we can make some deals. Also, let me know how Affinity fares on Friday.

--Edmiao 12:39, 25 August 2008 (MST) that affinity for artifacts dragon? i cast it last friday and used ashnolds transmorgant to make two enemy creatures into artifacts which were then removed from the game. but it was an emporer game, and i don't think the deck is fast enough to get the dragon out reliably before death. that said, i had an atog that i did not play which would have helped in the early game.

BEN: no, no: Jason has an affinity for artifacts deck that he brought on saturday and I had so much fun playing it that I asked him to leave it at my place so I could run it against some other decks this friday.

--Edmiao 12:48, 25 August 2008 (MST)oh, i have no doubt it will kick the ass on my atog artifact deck. and probably most of my decks actually.

Next step in Super Heroes

What's the role of super hero? Is it to protect the innocent? Punish the guilty? Keep a captured villain in a closet and occasionally throw him some Sun Chips?

The Guardians are thinking long and hard about this moral conundrum...

GABE: That was super heroes at their bestest. How about what the heck do we do with all these people we keep beating up??? No place can hold them! I mean Viho only has so many closets.

Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy

Fun things for friday to look forward to:
1.) The Map of Amora
2.) The "Random Magic Item" Table
3.) The 11th hour characters (a blood elf ranger and possible others)

BEN: well, we all know that I'm the most draconian of our group's GMs, so it's time for me to crack the ol' whip. I'm actually very pleased with the laizez faire attitude we've all taken to making characters, it fits exactly with my sense of the fantasy trope for story beginnings (5 strangers meet in a smoky inn...). HOWEVER, I would like very much to actually have looked at a FINAL version of everybody's character sheet before we start, promptly at 7, tomorrow. That means that if you no post'a you character sheet on the wiki before 5:30 or so tomorrow, you'll have to take precious magicking time to chat with me about your character.
One more thing. The game will begin late at night, say around midnight on a Thursday night. You should all think about where your character would be at that time. ALSO, if any of y'all want to be connected to each other in any way, that's up to you to work out, I'm fine if the first session is the first time any of you hear about it.

Some restrictions, as I think of them:
Tithe: You 'can't' start in the temple of the forge grounds. Typically, you are designated to guarding some of the holdings of the Forge Temple off the temple grounds on a regular basis: it's not terribly desirable work, and you are as close to a slave as it gets (slavery is outlawed on Caminus), so it falls to you. Only favored/trusted guards have been selected for keeping people off the temple grounds since the deadly crimson fever killed one of the lower priestesses. You have not seen or heard from Daenerys in a week or more.

--Gdaze 11:49, 22 August 2008 (MST) Quick request, although no rush in getting it done. Could we get a list of the magic schools that are open to most humans? Its really hard to find who can do what in that big list of nations.

Karthayans: Stone/Earth Magic
Eburon: Summoning
Csara: Shadow Magic

If a character is from these places they can practice the appropriate magic. All humans also have access to Hag and Druid magic.

--Brandon 12:11, 22 August 2008 (MST) Ben, are the two psychological limitations I added going to be enough to add up to 30pts. of disads? If so, I should be all set. At least, I've spent all of my points, though there are some things that I'm not sure about given that point spending (see the ??s on my char. sheet). I'll repeat my request for someone to throw Tithe into HeroDesigner (or whatever it's called) and print him out for me. Otherwise, I'll just copy what I have onto PAPER using a PEN *gasp*.

--Gdaze-- Thank ya thank ya! (continues to ignore Brandon) Sorry, I actually slept all yesterday... Dieter can attest to that as I missed playing CoV, sorry man!

--Dieter the Bold 16:23, 22 August 2008 (MST) That I can. After berating me for not being on. And after setting up a specific time. l4m3r!
