Revision as of 13:48, 2 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

Matts - I'm going on a trip this friday that I totally forgot about until now, so I won't be there. I'm going to be looking to collect my sunglasses sometime this week though. I need them for driving!

GABE: I actually might have some plans Friday to with a friend I don't get to see much. And with everyone else a "maybe" as well, it ain't looking too hot.

--Dieter the Bold 12:48, 2 June 2009 (MST) Full disclosure: My 'maybe' was due to me having missed a SIFF movie last week and wanting to catch the final showing, but not really sure if I wanted to skip gaming to do that. And now Jason has a Twilight Imperium group (5 confirmed) going for Friday. So, time to shit or get off the pot, so I'm officially down for gaming on Friday, but if we have two cancellations (and no surprise Brandon attendance), then I'll join up with Jason's crew.

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 12:52, 1 June 2009 (MST) Alright, if we want this pirate game to kick off, please go see what I posted. Basically, is there any system people would really like to use, or NOT use. Let me know, sooner = better. Brandon, will you be playing? I know you were interested in more Steampunk (sky pirates) but most are in favor of normal pirates.

--Brandon 14:22, 1 June 2009 (MST) Don't take anything I say into account, as I will not be playing on any regular basis (unfortunately). But, I will probably make a character regardless so that I can drop in on occasion. For the record, I'm excited about pirates in general, whether normal, fantastical, or steamed.

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

--Brandon 10:20, 1 June 2009 (MST) Thanks to Ed for hosting us yesterday and letting us partake in his delicious fruit, beer, cookies, etc. It was really fun, even if I did learn that I'm the worst space trucker ever.

Edmiao Thanks for coming over fellas, it was a blast. Jason and I went until 10pm playing an epic game of Titan after a few more rounds of space truckers, which is a really fun fast paced light hearted game, might have to pick that one up. Jason, did you want your snosages back or shall i consume them without mercy?

GABE: I've really been wanting to try Titan, when I showed my dad Hectatomb he said it was somewhat like Titan.

And yes, thanks for hosting that, it was really fun and its hard for me to get outta the house. I had a lot of fun. Space "Trucker" was a lot of fun. I love how it is just "Alright, lets see if this makes it!". Also, I really enjoyed Puerto Rico.

Ed. You want totry titan also? Sweeeeeet. We must have another board gaming session. Jason, did u like titan enough to go again?

JASON: The sausages are yours, we have more, believe it or not. I also find Galaxy Trucker to be fun, I think the challenge really changes depending on the competition, so thats interesting. And supposedly the new reprint of Titan is so close to the original that they didnt even make a new BGG page, its shared between them both. There are still lots of fans. Its hard to say if I would play it again, I would probably want to read the rules (which I will look for online) and contemplate. The length of the game is a bit daunting, but I am not afraid of long games.

GABE: Also why is Galaxy Truckers so much???

JASON: Yeah, it aint cheap.

Edmiao $60 at funagain games, $46 at Top Shelf (which i have never used, so cannot endorse). apparently there is an expansion that only gets you up to 5 players that is super expensive too.

GABE: Cardhaus has really good prices on a lot of board games right now. Course depending on how they treat this order is if I keep using 'em haha.

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy

Current OAAAA XP: 75 base + 277 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.

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?

Matts - What was the wrapup after I left? Did Aetan unfreeze? Did Fantus make his slave do something heinous to Aetan while he was frozen? What about to Galen?

GABE: Fantus left his son in the care of some trader, where he will be beaten daily. We defeated said snow angels. Galen did some fancy stuff with the woman and somehow ended up stabbing her with his dagger or she ran herself through. Also received four drops of the tears.

Edmiao and everyone lived happily ever after. was that the boss fight ben was referring to? did we kind of just Leeroy Jenkins it, except for Galen?

BEN: yup that was the boss fight. You did Leroy Jenkins it, successfully, although you had a good idea with your flute at the beginning...although calming them wouldn't have worked, generating happiness might have had some effect...

Edmiao i think when they started moving she got too scared to play the flute! Wasn't deiter supposed to post a recap

GABE: Hap... wha? Lets just hit it till it doesn't move!

--Brandon 14:50, 1 June 2009 (MST) Tithe tried to use some happiness mojo, but unfortunately he's not particularly happy in general, and he really wasn't in a very happy place at the moment. Good thing he's better at hitting things until they stop moving (as long as they don't hit back with things that cause boatloads of stun, like epistemologically retarded dwarves).

--Matts - I think the dwarves would argue emphatically that they're not epsitemologically retarded, and you know where that gets us...

Edmiao that's what we did, hit it until it didn't move! and it worked great! lesson learned. let's go hit a dragon.
