BEN: as an aside from this fascinating conversation: I certainly don't KNOW this, but I am definitely getting the vibe from my new roommate that he may be gay. The only reason I mention this is that, if he is, some of our jokes at the gaming table may not be construed as humor but rather as cruelly homophobic. So, for now, please refrain from that stuff during game time. As a replacement standard, inappropriate perjorative, matt has suggested "honky". I fully support this idea. | BEN: as an aside from this fascinating conversation: I certainly don't KNOW this, but I am definitely getting the vibe from my new roommate that he may be gay.

Revision as of 22:21, 1 December 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.

Ranting and raving or other random comments
BEN: I've found a new roommate, for a couple of months at least. He seems like a cool dude and I've explained gaming to him and he says he's fine with it. So for now we're good to go.
--Brandon 10:50, 26 November 2008 (MST) Does this mean we now have to keep our pants on while gaming?
JASON: Ah yes, the woebegone pantsless gaming days of yore...
Edmiao of course we do not have to keep our pants on. can't you read? ben said he esplained gaming to the guy and he was fine with it. however, in the immortal words of some 80's pop singer "We don't have to take our clothes off To have a good time, oh, no "
GABE: If I have to wear pants, whats the point in even gaming? RON PAUL!
JASON: What does Ron Paul have to do with Gabe's pants? Sadly, I really want to know this.
GABE: All part of his amazing economic plan...
So nobody down for some magic today? I gotz nothing on my plate today...
BEN: as an aside from this fascinating conversation: I certainly don't KNOW this, but I am definitely getting the vibe from my new roommate that he may be gay. The only reason I mention this is that, if he is, some of our jokes at the gaming table may not be construed as humor but rather as cruelly homophobic. So, for now, please refrain from that stuff during game time. As a replacement standard, inappropriate perjorative, matt has suggested "honky". I fully support this idea.

Other RPG or Non-RPG or Monthly Board Gaming Day gaming Events
--Dieter the Bold 13:06, 3 November 2008 (MST) Just picked up The Burning Wheel over the weekend and am reading through it. Was highly recommended by a panel at PAX and I'm liking what I'm reading so far. So far I'm getting a "Dogs in the Vineyard" feel for it, but with a Cyberpunk-style system backing it up. Should I continue liking it all the way through the GM's and Player's guides, I will run a one-shot. Of some kind.
JASON: Anyone up for a game day either this Saturday or the first weekend in December?
--Dieter the Bold 13:56, 30 November 2008 (MST) Move me to "tentative" for the firs weekend in December. We're now into required overtime at work, and I have a 4-hour required "work party" on Friday, so I don't want to ink myself into activities on my only free day off. I'm still interested, but don't want to 100% commit. I have issues.
Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking
Next step in Super Heroes
Edmiao btw Gabe (probably not relevant to Deiter?).... Ben and I bought Teamwork. was very effective in the last session. Matt had given us the skill at 8-, and we bought the full skill, which Matt let us buy for 2 points of our xp.
GABE: Dieter and Teamwork? Thats like oil and water. Of course Teamwork is goooood. I can totally pick it up... also gonna up my sleath.
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
