Revision as of 23:58, 11 October 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.

Edmiao that last combat left a sour taste in my mouth. anyone interested in shaking up the order for another OAAA next week to finish this little encounter off?

--Matts 14:43, 11 October 2008 (MST)If Ben's cool with it, so am I!

BEN: sour taste as in "Is that all you got, biatch?! I'm callin' you out for round two! Pain Train's comin', baby! Woo-Woo!"
or sour taste as in "That was a lame fight" ? (I assume the former, but I know it's not much fun as a player to get beaten on the battlefield, even only temporarily).
That being said...we can go for another OAAAA this upcoming friday if y'all want. You guys are coming up on some pretty significant sessions, so if you want to go this route, please let me know soon so I can plan accordingly.

--Gdaze 21:22, 11 October 2008 (MST) I don't mind gettin' beaten, I just wish it had been faster. That said I'm okay for either, but we already cut supers short last time.

Attendance and Food Preference

10/17/08

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 o

Ranting and raving or other random comments

Edmiao Jason, i have some old comics, you in the business of buying still? or trading for magic cards? i have a bunch of spawn and the angel spinoff from the late 90s, and then a bunch from the late 1980s of a big DC crossover event, where the green lantern corps and the guardians got their ass kicked by manhunters, and some other random stuff, including the Maxx. kind of just sitting around in a box in my house forever for no apparent reason.

JASON: I do buy comics, but that kind of stuff is really common. I could trade for Magic cards, but it would have to be commons and uncommons. I will look at them though, and if there is something exceptional in there I could possibly give a little more.

Other RPG or Non-RPG or Monthly Board Gaming Day gaming Events

October 19/20

Edmiao cheryl is going away for two weeks to learn how to use a sequencing machine. so I'm hoping for magic in the evenings 10/14-23 and hopefully a magic or board game event on the 19th or 20th? anyone, anyone?

Gabe: Dang, should have checked the wiki this weekend, Noelle was working so I sat around Sunday making magic decks heh heh.

Edmiao the above posts are for this sunday and the next weekend after that!

--Gdaze 00:31, 7 October 2008 (MST) Ah yes... ahem... Sure, I'm down for some magic on Sunday, I think. Will confirm by Friday for sure. I'm trying out this venom/life deck, black/green. I don't have many black/green hybrid cards though. Hopefully I'll get my Shard cards by before this Friday, I wanna try that crazyness out.

JASON: Rumi and I will be down with either magic or board games Sunday. I am resisting the urge to take cards from my sale stock to make decks.

Edmiao never mind, can't do sunday after all. sorry

--Brandon 12:03, 7 October 2008 (MST) If no Sunday, how about Saturday afternoon?

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

Shards of Alara

GABE: Moved conversation from above to here.

Sound off maggots! Who here can do it Saturday? As Sunday seems to have been canceled very quickly? I can for at least an hour or two.

Also Friday I'd perfer to play some normal games, though again I will be late.

BEN: we should save a limited game set for when we have a nice dedicated time for it. Especially for a "sealed" type game, you want at least 30-60 minutes for deck construction...we can probably hit the low end of that, but still, I don't think our 1.5 hour window before gaming will be amenable to it. Let's just play regular constructed friday. I can probably play some magic saturday.

Edmiao no go for this weekend for me. but the weekend after that fo' sho

--Brandon 11:43, 9 October 2008 (MST) So, are we on for Saturday? Gabe and Ben and I seem in. Ed is out. Matt? Jason and/or Rumi? It'd best to have 4 or 5, but I'm still interested even if it's just 3 of us. I've got some decks I'd like to make, and one person could build while the other two duel. Whaddya think?

GABE: I think I can, Noelle's car is in the shop, so we'll see. I should know by tomorrow. I'd like to play for a couple hours if possible.

JASON: I could do Sunday, but probably not Saturday, we game from 1 until whenever. I just got 3 Sky Swallowers. Some day I will be as cool as Matt. Really. Im totally not kidding.

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...

--Brandon 12:37, 21 September 2008 (MST) I just want to say that that last battle had a lot of great moments. Silver Snake being thrown into the air and then transforming and swinging back down in mid air; Ashbury flying above the crowd of teenagers and releasing pollen everywhere; Elemental taunting Zeus, and then not budging when the counterattack came; Brimstone walking with Silver Snake as armor, dragging a line of fire through the air, and then teleporting inside of Zeus's shield. Good times, all.

Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy

Current OAAAA XP: 75 base + 91 XP

Stuff we want to buy:

Horses for all plus one or two as pack animals
Winter clothing and sleeping rolls
climbing gear and rope
torches and lanterns
rations
dragon repellent
picks, shovel, other digging equipment to clear cave ins? dynamite?
Ketchup (if you can't beat 'em . . .)
carrier pigeons

BEN: note here for DIETER: You intend to buy a +30 PRE for your character, and when I ok'd it, I was thinking you had a 10 PRE. But I now realize you have a 20 PRE. I just told Ed that it doesn't make sense for his creature to have a PRE above 40, and I think that upper limit should apply to you as well, for now. Even with the blessing of the gods, I have trouble believing you would get more intimidating than a greater dragon. So, take it down to +20 PRE, please.
