Revision as of 12:32, 23 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

Edmiao I'll be doing pickup duty. Deiter, it would be nice if you could get to montlake or the U district, or somewhere closer than the amazon building. i'll be headed from my work near gasworks park, through the U district to pick up brandon and friend, then down to montlake and over the water. One note, i don't want to be staying to the wee hours, would be good if we could wrap it up by like 1 am, since i'm your return trip home i can't just ditch early.

--Gdaze 09:23, 23 June 2009 (MST) Here is a note for anyone who might care about it. The 255 goes very close to my house, you'd still have to walk a good 20 mins or so, but it is there. I'll see if I can't get my license renewed before Friday and then I can take some people home as well (Dieter I'm guessing since it is kinda opposite from you Ed).

--Brandon 11:04, 23 June 2009 (MST) Don't worry Ed, I'm not planning on going too late. I'm aiming to be done by midnight, if not before. Also, who's interested in pizza? I think we have 4 vegetarians (Me, Joe, Dieter, Gabe), for what it's worth.

Edmiao jeez, four vegetarians. this trend has to stop, or the animals are going to start multiplying and will take over the world!

--Dieter the Bold 11:32, 23 June 2009 (MST) I can get myself to Juanita without too much trouble. If someone wants to pick me up there around 7pm, then we're good to go. I am also totally down for pizza. There should be lots of options in the area. Plus there's the Kirkland Costco (but take the back way to avoid traffic).

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."

Shadowrun OneShot(s) (6/26)

--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.

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

--Brandon 13:03, 17 June 2009 (MST) So, it sounds like Gabe and Ed are both down for a Shadowrun one-shot NEXT FRIDAY (6/26). DIETER, are you interested? It'd be awesome if you could play, because then there would be one person with continuity (doesn't really matter, but would be kind of nice). I'd give you dibs on playing the same guy you played last time (Max) if you wanted, 'cause I thought you played him really well. I also have another friend who is interested in playing, so we have at least 3 players, and hopefully 4. If y'all are down, I'm prepared to commit, and will post some stuff. The only possible snafu is that I'm not sure I'll have a car. So, if we do it at Gabe's, we might have to all pile in with Ed or something. Let me know what y'all think, so that I can start scheming in earnest.

To see the set-up for - and synopsis of - the last one-shot (w/ cast of characters, which will be the same except more experienced), see Guttersnipes!.

I'll post a set-up and hook for the upcoming one-shot at Guttersnipes!: Movin' On Up.

--Dieter the Bold 14:17, 17 June 2009 (MST) I'd be down again. I can barely remember it, but it sorta' comes back to me.

--Gdaze 16:27, 17 June 2009 (MST) Are any of the characters riggers? I want little bots. If not, I like that shaman guy. Or can we have a new character?

--Brandon 18:22, 17 June 2009 (MST) Sweet. Sounds good. I'll start posting some more stuff. Don't worry about remembering, Dieter. I'll post anything that you might need to know (and more). Do you want to play Max again, or switch it up?

Gabe, Reagan is (now) a rigger. He'll have at least one little bot, if not more (plus a rigged pickup truck and a motorcycle (I think). Also, I'd be happy to include a new character, if none of the available suit your fancy. But, I'd prefer if you tell me that in advance (say, by the end of the weekend) so that I can create one to suit your fancy with enough time.

Edmiao If there is space, cheryl says 20% chance she might join us for the one shot. if you want to do it on sunday afternoon that weekend, cheryl would join and we could host at our place.

--Brandon 12:05, 18 June 2009 (MST) So, if we play on Friday (6/26), Cheryl is 20%, and if we play on Sunday (6/28), Cheryl is 100%ish and we can do it at the Miao palace? I'm game for the switch, and there will definitely be space (don't worry, I won't make anyone play a quadrapalegic), but it depends on everyone else. Gabe, Dieter, what say you? And, if we play Sunday, Ben might even be able to play. Ben? I'll also talk to my friend Joe.

For now, we'll plan on Friday (6/26) at Gabe's, but see if we can move to Sunday (6/28).

--Dieter the Bold 12:48, 18 June 2009 (MST) I work Sundays. It would either have to be an evening one-shot (I could take off a little early) or I'd have to miss. I'm also down to play Max again.

--Brandon 17:02, 18 June 2009 (MST) It looks like it'll have to be Friday (6/26), because I can't do Sunday evening, and neither Dieter nor my friend Joe can do Sunday afternoon. Ed, is there still a chance Cheryl could play? 'Cause that'd be awesome. Also, was the offer to play at your house only if we played on Sunday?

Also, I finished off the synopsis of the last one shot, so take a look at at least the "Major Points of Interest" section. I'll have a hook up for this one-shot within the next few days.

--Gdaze 09:44, 22 June 2009 (MST) So quick note, I'd like to state that I can't play super late Sunday, of course, unlike some of you asses I work early in the morning. But Ed, do we know if Cheryl is gonna play or not? We on for Friday or what? Sorry, but I've got a lot of things going on and like having all my ducks in a row.

--Brandon 10:02, 22 June 2009 (MST) Gabe, read 4 lines up. To the best of my knowledge, we will be playing this Friday. Regardless, I don't plan to go super late (midnight at the latest, maybe?). We will plan to do it at your house unless Ed lets us know that we can do it at his house (i.e., if Cheryl decides to play, which looks like it will probably be a last minute decision, which is fine). I will have the hook for this adventure, plus updated character sheets, up tonight. I'll have an additional character ready for Cheryl, in case she decides to play. Gabe, do you still want to play Reagan (the Rigger)? Ed, do you have any preference between Togo (the shaman) and Rad (the physical adept/martial artist/breakdancer)?

EDIT: I've updated the character sheets and info for the one-shot, at Guttersnipes!: Movin' On Up. Ed, I'm going to have you play Togo and have Gabe play Reagan, if that's ok with you both. Take a look at the character sheets, info, and group sheet, and let me know if you have any questions.

--Brandon 21:57, 22 June 2009 (MST) I just talked to Ed, and he's game to give us all a ride to Gabe's (assuming that we don't end up at Ed's because Cheryl's playing). Dieter, do you think you can get to some neutral location (like maybe the U-District) for carpool purposes? I'm planning to start at normal time (i.e., sixish).

Edmiao cheryl's out, btw.

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?

ED: anything interesting happen last week?

--Gdaze 09:21, 23 June 2009 (MST) We raided the Forge's stash. Turns out the Prince took all the shiney stuff, which is actually the weaker stuff. I got a box. Matt got a sword, and we went into the old ways and had it forged by some old dwarf witch. My shadow self called out to my crow and killed it. Oh, there is now basically a pirate town on the island as well. We went to see the fairy king who was way more relaxed then before but still a dick. Matt met the new guard of the fairy bridge.

Oh, and there is a big political scuffle at the Forge (mostly due to our request). It isn't too bad right now though.
