Revision as of 15:24, 14 November 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.

Gabe, can we find some time to discuss this? If not, would you guys mind doing a historical prelude that does not have anything to do with the characters but does help with the setting?

Gabe: Crap I never notice updates sometimes... Um, yeah, I'm gonna be hitting the hey when I get home tonight but later I could. Or shoot me an email, I can check that at work, go ahead and use the badass_sanosuke one please.

GABE: -- Jason, I haven't seen any email yet although you may be unable to do so from work, let me know if you can't email today during work. ACTUALLY I don't mind talking over the story role of my guy right here unless you rather not.

Attendance and Food preference

11/16/07

--Dieter the Bold 18:21, 12 November 2007 (MST) So, are we doing a historical prequel or something this Friday? I'm down for whatever.

--Edmiao 22:39, 12 November 2007 (MST)I would prefer a real prequil. let's get this ball rollin!

--76.164.21.217 12:23, 13 November 2007 (MST)The problem is Gabe's character doesnt have a strong story role (as previously discussed). So unless one can be determined in the next day or so we will be doing something historical.

Gabe: Can I just be given a story role? Maybe thats even what we RP out?

--Edmiao 13:07, 13 November 2007 (MST)does his prequil have to be an integral part of the story? can we just rp out his backstory a bit? have him meet some of the other characters, maybe?

--76.164.21.217 15:55, 13 November 2007 (MST)What would be the point of that? What would the plot be? What could happen? It would just be the players talking to each other. Nothing could happen that affects the outside world at all or influences the characters. If you guys all want to be high school students sitting around at Gabe's high school that would be ok, yet, how could there be an interesting plotline?

BEN: I'm fine with whatever: we're starting in two weeks, so whether we do a prequil or not isn't that important to me. Also, Jason: if you want to remake my character, feel free: I'm happy to play whatever fits the guardian role best, I'm really not that invested in the character sheet I have. I know how I want to play the character, so the stats will just determine how exactly I fulfill that role.

--Edmiao 16:42, 13 November 2007 (MST) Jason, if you had ended with a Gabe's mom crack, i might think that was all a joke, but there was none so I'm not quite sure how to take it. My suggestion was that prequils having characters interact could be good for group unity and provide a better hook to stay together than "so, I hear you need a midget super scientist...." But whatever y'all cook up for friday is fine by me.

--76.164.21.217 11:21, 14 November 2007 (MST)That wasnt joking, its serious. Given the constraints there arent many possibilities. Gabe and I are discussing stuff right now, though. There is a possibility, I am not certain how large, however. We can always do something historical and some mock combats.

Ranting and raving or other random comments

GABE: Ed, could you repost that link to the Mircosoft thingy?

Other Non-RPG gaming Events

BEN: EDIT: well, the guy with the cards emailed me back, so I'll hopefully be able to pick them up. I guess we'll just split them up, although this is predicated on everyone pitching in equally: if people want to "give what they can" then I think it will be simplest just to maintain them as a general pool. If we split them up, I think rares and uncommons should be distributed randomly, and anyone can have any commons they want on a first come, first served basis (with the understanding that you won't take more than 4 of any given card). Those are my 2 cents anyways. The collection costs $90.00, so if Gabe, Ed, Dieter, and I all pitch in, that would be 22.50 each. If Matt and/or brandon wants to pitch in, the cost would come down (obviously).

--Gdaze-- So I got my shipment of magic cards the other day, almost all are from the 2 sets that are all about "techie" cards, like artifacts. Some of these artifacts are great, even more so for multi-colored decks. Some nice ones I know off the top of my head but not their names...

Artifact, 3 casting cost, tap to add one mana of any color. (Yowza!)
Lots of little 2 or 3 mana casting cost artifact creatures that can add varios colored mana to your pool.
A white spell instant, I think a 3 casting cost total, that converts all damage done to you by one creature into life points.
A green INSTANT that costs two green mana and adds 6 life to yourself.

Haha, wow Ben, I had just deleted all this stuff, lucky not until you posted that! Yeah I'm down, I would even be fore giving out the commons randomly, you can make good decks with the most basic of cards. Count me in. I mean with 5000 fucking cards we there is no way we will be unable to not take more then four of a certain card haha. I am for the we all pitch in equally, makes things easier.

ALSO, BEN, these cards are all in English, correct?

--Edmiao 11:27, 14 November 2007 (MST) Ha! I emailed that guy yesterday and asked if he would be up in seattle any time soon. he said that he had an interested party coming over but if that fell through, his wife lives in ballard and i could pick them up from her. are you the competing interested party, ben? if so, we could save a trip to tacoma by just meeting up with his wife. To simplify things, if we want to divvy the cards up, that's fine, alternately I'm willing to buy the whole lot and we can then just have my set plus the 5,000 and not have to worry about set mixing.

--Gdaze-- Eh, lets just divy it out, I'm SURE we can all make neat decks. Heck I only have about 2000 cards yet I made two pretty good/fun decks.

Plus I want me some more cards for if I have people over who want to play, haha. Even 3 ways that is like 1600 something cards per person, that an insane amount. And actually with Dieter, you, me, and Ben it comes out to 1250 cards each, nice eh?

BEN: I'm fine with one person buying them, saves me some cash and keeps them all in a pool for anyone to use. Ed has volunteered, but if you really want to divy them up gabe, then we can still do that.
