Revision as of 18:31, 17 March 2009
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
GABE: Whats on our plate this week?
BEN: Not sure. If we're doing supers, it'll be Matt, me...and Ed after 10. If we're doing OAAAA, it'll be Matt, me, and dieter...and Ed after 10pm. Either way, we're only at Quorum after 10, although I'm happy to do some OAAAA-ing with two players, I suppose. I'm good with either option.
GABE: Wow, right, I forgot I had plans, boy is my face red.
--Matts 12:16, 16 March 2009 (MST)Wow, we could do supers and finally get some quality time alone! I'll bring the candles, ben, you bring the wine... Elemental battles the high-concept villian Psychopomp in a wide-ranging exploration of the modern psyche through expository combat!
--Matts 12:59, 16 March 2009 (MST)You can translate the above as: "We can play OAAA if it means we get quorum"
ED: Sorry, plans altered. I will be on time, could even be early at 5pm or so. In for pizza again so long as it's not ridiculously expensive, what's the price of MAD za? not coming via pudge, i'm giving a talk at amgen downtown. ...forgot to pay you last time ben!!! iou $8. i think everyone else forgot as well.
Deiter, tape that shit and come be a nerd with your rpg buddies!
Matts -- Ok, lets do supers then.
GABE: Crap I'm gonna miss the big fight!
--Dieter the Bold 17:49, 16 March 2009 (MST) Sorry all, but I'm not taping the finale of the best show on TV in the last 10 years (humble opinion). I've taped it every other time, except once or twice, but not for the very last chance to see the Galactica.
Ranting and raving or other random comments
--Gdaze 13:28, 13 March 2009 (MST) Also it'd be really nice if some of you could let me know what one shots look fun, or you'd like to play. Thanks! And if none, then say that too haha!
Edmiao Hey Dieter, i just watched the "last frakkin special" for bsg and discovered that Cylon bitch #3 is played by Lucy Lawless of Xena fame. funny, i never noticed with the blonde hair, and she's a bit older now. also never watched much zena, i suppose.
--Gdaze-- That pretty sweet.
That aside, would anyone be down for playing some Runebound this Sat. or Sun.? Dieter, interested? It is basically like Tailsman, and usually takes around 4-6 hours to play.
209.124.189.39 cheryl loves runebound. we have lots of expansions as well. but we've been pretty busy lately and may need a weekend with less activity, i think. but totally interested for some other time in the future.
--Dieter the Bold 13:38, 17 March 2009 (MST) Sunday would have to be in the evening, and I might require a ride home (buses). Saturday might work. I don't currently have plans, but I might have a family requirement. And yeah, Ed, I didn't realize it was Lucy Lawless the first time she appeared either (Season 2). She's very much slimmed down, and the blonde hair from Xena
--Gdaze-- Well sounds like Ed and Cheryl might be down for playing, so much-o cool, but not this weekend eh? That said Dieter keep me in the loop next time you guys board game it up, I'd be very down for playing. Anyway else down for Runebound can always play as well, it is a longer game, think Tailsman (actually it is often called compared to Tailsman, and on good terms).
The other group I game with is having some personal issues so their aviability has dropped, thus why I didn't move forward with WLD.
JASON: We will likely play some board games this Saturday. I had Runebound for a while, and yeah its a lot like Talisman. I dont think I could stand to play a game as pointless as that for 4-6 hours. If I am investing that amount of time into a game it better be more than roll, move, draw card, fight monster, collect treasure. If you want to play some board games with us Saturday, Dieter will probably be there and who knows, he might bring his peeps.
--Gdaze-- You know Jason, you could just say "I don't really want to play that game." Haha! Sweet, are you still in the same location? I heard you guys have been playing Carcassonne a lot which is like one of my favorite games. So you guys are for sure doing something this Saturday? Noelle needs me to be busy so I don't distract her while she sews.
JASON: No, I couldnt say that. It would destroy my soul. We only played Carcassonne once, and it was last week. I felt worn down with too many expansions, it just took too long. But, I do like the game. As of right now I think we are 90% for a Saturday game, I dont know if Dieter is coming, though.

Other RPG or Non-RPG or Monthly Board Gaming Day gaming Events
3/21 or 3/22
Edmiao cheryl and I are gonna see Watchmen at imax this second sunday. all invited.
Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking
GABE: So now magic will be naming themselves like sports games, great, and rotate core sets every years. But besides that, why do I keep seeing these rumors there will be no more mana burn, anyone know if thats true?
I dunno, as I don't play any of the formats, I think it is pretty cool that they are getting back their their fantasy roots with the main sets. Silence is an insane card.
Next step in Super Heroes
ED: what were we doing? i forget.
GABE: Your rival is in the stock market with a huge suit of powered armor that has more guns then an NRA BBQ.
Edmiao right! can we take that on without Gabe, Noel and Deiter. ie with just Ben and I? actually, i think the last big fight we did, taking on the doping compound, was just ben and I and that went swimmingly and was a lot of fun.
--Matts 11:36, 17 March 2009 (MST) I've got a bunch of notes on how to scale the encounter, so we are on for sure! Hope y'all are ready!
Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy
Current OAAAA XP: 75 base + 215 XP
Plans to save Danny-Girl from the dragon
These are the ones i remember.....
Fight the dragon, kill it
Lyra told us where to find the freezing Tears of _____ so we can put out the dragon's breath, right before she extinguished the eternal forge flame in our temple (bitch) by sucking its soul out like a vampire. She will help us fight the dragon. In return we agreed to let her strike the killing blow IF we successfully obtain the Tears. Other allies could also be enlisted in the fight.
Swindle all around
Talk to Grundbad, get him to fight the dragon and kill it. Also, talk to Oryxis, pledge to deliver the ruby shield in return he frees Danny-girl. Dragon dies: Danny free. Grundbad dies, danny free. Win - Win.
Deal with the dragon
Give the dragon something he wants more than Danny. Say the Ruby shield or freeing Iximion.
Dragon vs Dragon
Free Iximion, tell him Oryxis is getting up in his magic shit and doens't he want to kick the shit out of Oryxix for learning magic?
ED: Aefra is buying you all a flying carpet. should have done it last time before she lost all that cashola! she figures Aeten will carry it around for us. what a chum.
GABE: OMG I know right? Just call him a knight or student and the guy will do anything.
Aetan Finn I will only carry this carpet if it is strong enough to carry me and the rest of the auspice-bound without any diminished efficacy. (Aetan's pretty heavy)
Aefra: it can hold you big boy, if you can hold it! (str 35 magic carpet has a lift of 3200kg which means it can fly with no penalty with 768kg on board, full speed of 53 mph. with up to 1568kg on board it can fly at 44 mph)
BEN: probably worth doing the math for how much the PCs weigh: Aetan without any of his gear is probably close to 200kg. 35 should be enough for all of you, I agree, but if tithe returns it'll be a close call...
--Dieter the Bold 12:10, 17 March 2009 (MST) You can certainly drop a lot of those weights down. 1kg = 2.2lbs. And I can assure you that Galen is not 310lbs!! I'd be shocked if Fantus was as well. And 220 seems a little high for Aefra.
Edmiao So, say with gear: Aeten 250kg, Fantus 90kg, Aefra 60kg, Galen 90kg = 490kg; no problem full speed ahead cap'n. plus Tithe 200kg = 690kg will not slow the thing down. these weights are a guestimate with armor and items
