Revision as of 22:44, 24 October 2007

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 15:44, 21 October 2007 (MST) I say again, since I never got a firm answer. How many prequils are left to run? Exemplars prequil 11/9, and maybe 11/16? Start Exemplars 11/30? Am I off my rocker thinking that this game is rip rearing to go? was it all a tease...where's the money shot? what? who? where? why? how?

--Jason 20:05, 24 October 2007 (MST)Here is where we are: I still have yet to receive a copy of Gabe's character. He is also pretty much perpetually too busy to ever meet and discuss character stuff, which greatly reduces the chance we will get this off the ground. Also, I am concerned about the possible tone of the game. Dieter has a character that isnt super at all, and is just lucky. His only attacks are guns. Ben has guns as a primary type of attack, as well as another killing attack. It is more than just guns and killing. The tone does not feel very superhero for the group. I think a lot of what has been issues we have had in the past is that everyone is either not sold on an idea, or not on the same page. I have been trying to get this figured out all week. I just dont have the answer.

--Gdaze 21:03, 24 October 2007 (MST) Wait, its all my fault it hasn't gone forward? Well that is just crazi. Ah yeah character, let me try resending that. Yeah, I'm not real big on how un-super heroic most of the party is. No offense but two main gun users and a midget in a robot.... eh, we are so technoie. Isn't too bad but I wanted to be a bit more super heroicie.

Anyway re-sent character. I already provided a history but you said I should do "more' but never really said what you were looking for. If you want me to tie in with the other characters more juz say so.

But yeah, I think everyone isn't on the same page. And no offense but two gun guys? Sounds like we are turning into an image comic... I mean my guy can fly through the air, hit people with mind bolts, and keep 16 people connected anywhere in the world at a time.

Also we've been told we aren't going to be killing people.

--Jason 21:32, 24 October 2007 (MST)I dont agree with everything Gabe said, but I do with some of it. First of all, it is no ones fault but mine. If I had been more dilligent thinking about this stuff we wouldnt have gotten here. Another thing is, I think the midget is about as comic book as it gets, he is perfect for the story. I also think the lucky guy and the demon guy are comic book, but not the same series as the rest of the characters. It would be like Fantastic Four vs Mephisto, one of the most retarded limited series of the 80's. I am not sure how to resolve this.

I never said you need to do more, Gabe. I said we need to discuss this stuff more deeply. You are the only character without a strong story role. That is not going to come during the game. If we cant find time before the game to get something made, you will never have one. You can still play and everything, but I think it would be sub-optimal.

It has become clear this year that my ability to think and plan is severely hampered. I had hoped it would return, but as of yet it hasnt.

--Gdaze 21:44, 24 October 2007 (MST) AGREE WITH ME PEON! I mean... uh, delightful! I justg thought we were kinda technoie. Anyway, well okay but I'm un sure of how to make my story role stronger. If you could email me some suggestions I'll check it out. Also don't be so hard on yourself, we are all lazy as well. EVEN ME, GASP!

Attendance and Food preference

10/26/07

--Edmiao 15:01, 21 October 2007 (MST) present. Since 1) matt is GM and can be counted upon to be late, and 2) we have been talking about the Magic card game, and 3) I have about 10 decks still made, and 4) games are relatively quick...... shall i bring my decks and we can play a few rounds before WFRP starts on friday?

BEN: Magic Cards, FUCK YEAH!

--Gdaze -- Um I think I still have my direct damage utter cheap-O deck. I'll have to look. Plus I have like nothing past Ice Age...

Otherwise yeah I'll be there this Friday. Matt, could we please get that email thing going? I'd like to have some things done in the amount of time my character had.

--Dieter the Bold 17:48, 23 October 2007 (MST) I'll definitely be there. And interested in pizza.

Ranting and raving or other random comments

--Edmiao 12:13, 23 October 2007 (MST) I am now the proud owner of a Lego star destroyer. 3104 pieces, 18 pounds of lego blocks, making a 37 inch long star destroyer. eat your heart out Gabe. For this I earned three gold stars on my Nerd-ometer.

--Gdaze-- Haha, wow you went ahead and got it! I'm jealous of your 37 inch star destroyer to be sure. Right now I'm saving up for an SLR digi-cam and a few new tattoos... so I shall have to make due with my imaganery destroyer.

BEN: that's f-ing sweet. Hey Gabe, I have this old GT super screamers RC racetrack: the cars are about 6" long and you need probably a 6'x6' area to set up the track. Needless to say, it doesn't fit in my apartment, and I think I'm going to get rid of it: does your dad want it (he can have it for free, as long as my dad doesn't want it back, seeing as it was originally his)?

Other Non-RPG gaming Events

--Edmiao 19:14, 22 October 2007 (MST) Anyone up for board games Sunday afternoon? Heroscape, Magic, Settlers, whatever? we could do my place. Cheryl is interested.

BEN: ooo, board games. However, I'm going to be unpacking all the stuff Kim is giving me for my apartment, so I doubt that I will be able to make it. But we'll see...

--Edmiao 16:49, 23 October 2007 (MST) unpacking stuff vs games. where are your priorities! are you becoming metro?

--Dieter the Bold 17:47, 23 October 2007 (MST) Working.
