Dieter, you gonna be up soon for any CoV anytime soon, or still getting the nets hooked up? I don't know if we are playing tonight (most likely are though, maybe be on around 8 or 9), also info for Matt. | Dieter, you gonna be up soon for any CoV anytime soon, or still getting the nets hooked up?

Revision as of 13:01, 21 September 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
KIM: I WISH I had pizza last night, *nom nom nom*. I was in Philly yesterday lusting after such godly greasy goodness from afar... won't be home until the week of Halloween, and then off to rape and pillage more villages. Count me OUT for pizza now through New Years, but when I get back, I SO have dibs on half of every pie, MWAHAHAHAA!
9/26/08
Friday 10/31 or Saturday 11/1
--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.
--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.
--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 of.
Ranting and raving or other random comments
--Gdaze-- Matt, I picked up Castle Crashers and it is indeed very fun. I hope they fix the massive bugs that are investing online play.
Dieter, you gonna be up soon for any CoV anytime soon, or still getting the nets hooked up? I don't know if we are playing tonight (most likely are though, maybe be on around 8 or 9), also info for Matt.
--Dieter the Bold 12:01, 21 September 2008 (MST) I will not be on CoV anytime soon. Maybe this week, but no promises and several lies. I have not put the time I need to into unpacking.
Other RPG or Non-RPG or Monthly Board Gaming Day gaming Events
JASON: Anybody up for a game of Battletech sometime in the next few weeks? I will need to try it out to see how feasible this mechwarrior thing is. Its only been about 18 years since I have played it!
--Dieter the Bold 17:41, 16 September 2008 (MST) Definitely down. I have a few boxes and books I can bring if necessary.
Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking
Next step in Super Heroes
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.
--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...
Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy
--Edmiao 10:28, 6 September 2008 (MST) so, the way i see it, all the blood elf pirates abandoned ship, leaving us on the ship. dragon likes to eat blood elves. let dragon eat blood elves, we keep ship.
GABE: Agreed.
Also... about the dragon, here are some deals I thought of.
What about if we offer him the Ruby Shield Ignus? You know, the one thing that can stop his breath, and we give it to him? Also another deal we could make, since he looks phat lootz, is find out who is shipping what and from time to time give him that info? I know its awhile till we play but just some things I thought up.
BEN: in response to Ed's concern above I will say this: there won't be a whole lot of "meeting" going on during this first encounter with the dragon. Very likely none, barring spectacular miracles and/or cleverness.
Allow me to try to elaborate (on a metagame level, since none of the PCs likely have much dragon knowledge): Dragons are both brutal animalistic predators and wise and cunning sentient beings. When they are in the "predator" mode, they are almost exclusively instinct-driven monsters, attacking with total ferocity. In short, this is not a mode in which it would be easy to bargain with or even communicate with a dragon. Surviving such an attack is a rare and great feat in itself.
Also, as I alluded to before, the next session will start, at the very outset, with a presence attack against everyone on the ship on the order of 14-16d6. That means that anyone with a presence lower than 21 will be in a state of total, abject terror (barring special effects or miracles) and only concerned with getting as far away from the dragon as fast as possible, or just wetting themselves and waiting to get eaten (we will assume the former as default for the PCs). Actions in line with psychological disadvantages, or actions relating to your auspice bond may be taken as long as they don't interfere with the above: if they do, PRE rolls with penalties will be involved. Other actions will come at high costs, either in terms of stat rolls (likely PRE) or XP expenditure.
If you have questions about this start up of the next session, feel free to ask.
