Revision as of 19:35, 18 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.

BEN: ok, it sounds like we are going OAAAA this week. Given that, the next FOUR sessions will be at Matt's disposal for Supers, so that we keep things fair and balanced (like your mother and a sperm whale, for instance). That does NOT include the 31st weekend, which as far as I can tell is going to be a CANCEL. We can discuss in the coming weeks (based largely on Matt and the material he has ready) if we want to switch back to OAAAA before December.

Attendance and Food Preference

10/17/08

--Gdaze 02:36, 18 October 2008 (MST)Yeah that was a bit sudden wasn't it? I got a call from Noelle and she had this sudden stomach pain at work (worst ever), so much so she couldn't walk, ended up throwing up all over the place, pale face, loss of body heat and all that. So I had to go to the hospital where her work sent her (which happen to be right by my work!). Did some tests, figured it was most likely caused by dehydration and a uranary infection. She is all okay now, and actually was looking fine after awhile at the hos. Hope you guys kicked some ass!

Edmiao dude! i retract my disparaging of you last night in your absence. glad to hear she is feeling better.

--Gdaze 15:51, 18 October 2008 (MST) No worries, sounds like I missed quite a bit of action!

BEN: sorry to hear about Noelle, Gabe, I'm glad she's feeling better. As for Sunday: I'd vote late afternoon/early evening, say 5 or so.

10/24/08

Edmiao absent

Ranting and raving or other random comments

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

October 19 Sunday

Edmiao so anyone up for some something this weekend? Jason, from your note above might be interested?

GABE: Big maybe for me, bro is in down which means I may even miss parts or all of gaming, we shall see.

GABE: Would Sunday work for anyone?

BEN: I could do sunday afternoon/evening.

Edmiao totally down for sunday. any time. what time good for yall

--Gdaze 02:37, 18 October 2008 (MST) Thats 3, any chance Matt could stop being a pussy? Or Brandon?

Edmiao brandon was out. i think 3 is fine, we can do rotating duels and the out guy can taunt or make decks.

--Gdaze 15:50, 18 October 2008 (MST) Cool cool, not sure my decks can do so well in those types of games. Too bad we can't get a fourth, Jason, Matt? Also, what time Sunday?

JASON: We may be in, but thats two so it would still be odd.

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

Shards of Alara

--Brandon 13:17, 18 October 2008 (MST) Ed, I found your new favorite card (for the protection deck, at least): Glamerdye. It's your cheesy color changer w/ retrace. Ouch.

Edmiao i've seen that one. yeah. protection deck did ok last night, might let it stick around a little while longer.

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 + 107 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: Well, for only three characters to go head to head with Sky was quite something. But the characters played smart and kept their actions tight and well coordinated, and victory was theirs. I'd just like to commend a few highlights, and leave it to the players to provide the summary to their fellow party members:
1.) Aefra taking down Sky with a thrown daenerys dagger...right after the MT Tithe got taken down with a 68 stun hit to the head.
2.) Aetan heaving several goblins into the abyss...or just bashing them into goblin pulp with his hammer and sending the others running in terror.
3.) Aetan diving off a bridge (!), into the abyss, after an unconscious and falling Tithe, catching him in midair with a critical success dex roll, to completely save the situation.
4.) Aefra making a cool illusory wedding band as for Grendel, to seal her marriage to him.
5.) Aetan declaring himself a vassal of Grendel.
6.) Matt prebuying luck to allow him to reroll the second of two 17 failures for a 15- roll, as an instant effect.
7.) Tithe getting dog piled by goblins and fighting his way out.

On account of numbers 1, 3, 4, and 5, but especially #3, the entire group (including Dieter, Gabe, and Nate) are awarded 1 bonus XP.
Additionally: Matt and Ed: I think that your purchased disadvantages came into play last session, so you each get the bonus from that as well.
