Revision as of 20:48, 16 June 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

--Gdaze 12:33, 16 June 2009 (MST) Count me in, you won't be home till when this Friday Ben? Also, I'm in for pizza.

BEN: 6pm.

Quote(s) of the week

Elemental: (to police chief, who thanked them for their good work) That certainly isn't going to help Viho's colossal ego. (or something like that...)

CyberJesus: I'm so sick and tired of this bullshit Thomas Kinkaid police state!

Ashbury: I grow plants that may or may not be used for pharmaceutical purposes

Ed/Aefra: "I use Seduction on the baby"

"Galen, you're wearing a dress." "Yes, but I still look better in it than in you do in your clothes."

Ranting and Raving

--Gdaze 11:31, 15 June 2009 (MST) Alright, so I'm wondering this. We now have the tears, when are we going to fight the dragon? I believe we should have EVERYONE there for this, but don't want to put it off for a really long time. This is going to be a pretty epic fight. Can we try to plan when we will do this? I've never actually fought a dragon in all my years of playing fantasy RPs, so I'm pretty excited about this.

Now, about Mass Effect. By the end of this week I should have all the character creation ironed out. Matt has already rolled stats, so if Ben is okay with it, I'd like us to create characters this Friday. And I should be ready to go next week. Problem is I'd really like everyone to be there for at least the first adventure, but Matt is gone on the 29th, and of course this is quite an event... speaking of which did you send us an invite to your wedding Matt, or are you an ass? Are you actually getting married on Friday? Or that weekend?

Anyway, lets all get together here and plan how we are going to play, I can switch to a Saturday date as well if need be to fight the dragon.

--Matts 11:47, 15 June 2009 (MST)I'm an ass. That friday night is the rehearsal dinner, and the wedding is Saturday, so the dragon fight might need to be after that?

--Gdaze 12:13, 15 June 2009 (MST) Ass. Anyway, what about the 19th? Ed said "maybe" gone. Also need to hear from Ben on this as well. But I don't see us needing to do a whole lot more. I need to prepare the tears, and with my 22- alch roll I think I can do that.

Ed, how "maybe" is this Friday? Ben, do you see us being able to fight the dragon?

BEN: I'm honestly not sure about the dragon. It's the greater dragon from the bestiary, which is about 1200 pts, plus his "insta-destroy" breath attack. you guys are...what, 300 pts each? Plus Lyra, who's about 150 pts more than one of you. And anyone else you can drum up. So I think it's possible. But I also think that at this point, you guys could get completely mauled as well.
I'd also like to point out that you guys have no idea where the dragon is. I think it was revealed to the characters at some point that he isn't at his old cave anymore. So before you fight him, you'll have to find him. But that should be doable inside of 1/2-1 session.
I'm perfectly fine with having people make characters this friday: I won't be able to get home before 6, though. I don't have a strong opinion how we divy up time between the session, magic, and characters.

--Gdaze 13:09, 15 June 2009 (MST) Well I figured we had the insta-kill under control with the tears. That said, I did NOT know he moved... who knew this? You jerks!

BEN: the tears won't insta kill him. they'll just turn off his breath...maybe do some damage, but the main effect is to turn off his breath. I thought we had discussed this fact during the session with Lyra Stoneheart, hope I was sufficiently clear about that.

--Gdaze -- Right, take care of US being insta-killed. I am fully aware they will not kill da dragon.

--Dieter the Bold 16:19, 15 June 2009 (MST) By Grandfather Flame's Dying Light

Edmiao gone this week. i still don't think we can kill a dragon. unless we have the insta-kill javelin and the tears and maybe the shield. i think my character would be insta killed by one punch, or one bite, or one tail slap of the dragon. or it using mind control on me. how long do you think the rest of you will last?

Edmiao I'm going to be the father of twins HOLY FUCK!!!!

JASON: Dont you mean you already are the father of twins, yet to be born? In any case CONGRATULATIONS! The world needs kids of great people like you and Cheryl. I wish you all the best.

Matts - WOW! Congratulations!!!!

Mass Effect

--Gdaze 12:26, 16 June 2009 (MST) Thats enough of that chatter.

--Matts 13:47, 16 June 2009 (MST)What are the 40k psychic powers?

--Gdaze 14:10, 16 June 2009 (MST) Some of them won't apply to this game, such as all the mind reading stuff. Most likely bio-mancy as well. Really the best fit is the telekensis one... I'll have more info tonight.

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

Edmiao been playing that downloadable Titan, thanks jason. it's pretty cool, and speeds up the gameplay considerably.

--Brandon 18:16, 15 June 2009 (MST) Hey y'all. I've been jonesin' for gaming in general (and want to make a character so that I can at least drop in sometimes on the Mass Effect game), but I've also been jonesin' to run another Shadowrun one-shot. It'd be a "continuation" of the last one, but without any real plot continuity, so there'd be no need to know anything about the last one-shot. Anyone interested? One possibility could be that we do it next week while Matt and Ben are rehearsing for some sort of ritualistic ceremony. Or, some other time. Just wanted to gauge interest.

--Gdaze 12:29, 16 June 2009 (MST) Pretty interested, also interested in doing a board game. Runebound is a lotta fun and I've been itching to play it. But I'm still very down for hanging out that night, I of course would suggest my place. Heck I still have yet to do a giant heroscape set up.... HMMM.

JASON! What Saturday are you going to do TI? I'm interested but not with a start time later then six.

Edmiao yeah, i'm in for that next friday (6/26)

JASON: We considered doing TI this weekend, but Dieter is out. Next week I am in LA, so no can do. We will be playing some kind of game Saturday at noon or so, if enough people want TI we can just shun Dieter and laugh at his bitch ass.

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy

Current OAAAA XP: 75 base + 307 XP; Followers: 6 XP

Plans to save Danny-Girl from the dragon

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.

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?

Edmiao How much xp did followers get again? was it 3 per session? and when did that start, ie how much xp should a follower have?

BEN: it started 2 sessions ago, so a follower should have 6 XP.

--Dieter the Bold 11:28, 15 June 2009 (MST) So what treacherous things did Gabe do to the rest of us once I left?

--Gdaze 11:31, 15 June 2009 (MST) I hit on a lizardwoman.

--Dieter the Bold 16:24, 15 June 2009 (MST) Par for the course, then?

--Gdaze 12:31, 16 June 2009 (MST) Her ass brother stopped me from getting anywhere. We also went back to our home island. That is pretty much it.

Question about the game, can I make a potion with those blue seeds to just find the dragon?

BEN: huh, hadn't thought of that, but it's a damn good idea. Yes, you can definitely do that.

--Gdaze 14:12, 16 June 2009 (MST) Sweet, how should I build that? Detect dragons? Or detect just him? Mega-Scale? Or maybe that crazy sight power, clear-which-a-macallit.
