Revision as of 10:09, 9 October 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

--Gdaze 11:24, 6 October 2009 (MST) Ed, any % on that? I'm game to run Mass Effect. Quick FYI, I think after this ark I need to stop running Mass Effect for a bit if that is cool. I mean it is set up so you can drop and pick up as it is story arks which have nothing to do with each other.

BEN: likely absent. Nate is interested in playing tho.

--Gdaze 11:18, 7 October 2009 (MST) So only two regulars? Is not very promising. Anyone interested in a board game or something? I might be able to bring on more people for a one shot.

Edmiao Absent

--Matts 16:59, 7 October 2009 (MST)If everyone is bailing I'm bailing too.

Nate: Weak sauce. Sall good though. We should definitely game next week though cause it will be my last week in town for a while. Let me know yall. Also, I will be having a "going away shindig" up in Everett on 10/17. If any of y'all wanna come hit me up 425-501-9068, or nschornak@gmail.com

--Gdaze 00:54, 8 October 2009 (MST) Agree with Nate, although Nate you are weak sauce, sorry, had to voice that. And I may stop by for that. So yeah, nothing Friday, canned.

Ed. Nate does that mean you enlisted?

Edmiao should we try to plan out farther in advance? Mass effect next week and then back to OAAA or Kingmaker? Are we still running OAAAA? it's been a long time. I'm still good to go on it, its a good game.

--Gdaze 13:41, 8 October 2009 (MST)We can just stop ME if you guys want. Basically last adventure is just a shoot'em up fest. So if you want to, yeah we can do that. And I do apologize about the game. Lots of shit going on kinda took the wind outta my sails.

Edmiao are you saying that you are no longer excited about running mass effect?

--Gdaze 14:05, 8 October 2009 (MST) Kinda, I would like to finish it off with the huge fire fight I have planned. If you all want to that is. I can wrap up the current arc in one adventure.

Edmiao KROLM WANT FIGHT!!!!

Ed. Plans change. My parents are sick and not coming up. So i can do games tomorrow. Or just for magic if not enough folks for rp

--Matts 22:52, 8 October 2009 (MST)Well if nobody else is bailing except Ben, I'm not bailing.

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

Ed. Jason i have about a foot and a half of old comics. You still in the bidness?

Edmiao wow, we just got spambot blitzed. i think i erased them all. were pages like City of Tears previously blank as appears to be the case?

Mass Effect

Current Mass Effect XP: 1000 Starting + 1900 xp = 2900. (Current at end of 8/28/09)

Mass Effect Recap

BEN: I'm posting here for ease of viewing...it can get moved to the recap section at your leisure. IN short, what we accomplished:
1.) Discovered that the horned, hooved folks are called narthaks. They are megalomaniacal, genocidal peoples, by the looks of it. Then again, they genocided people who were going to genocide them after they figured out how to dodge the pesky genocide courtesy of the Reapers. But they sounded a little too happy about the whole thing, so I'm not a big fan of them, personally. We also discovered that they are in suspended animation in some sort of "the matrix" where they are training to take over the galaxy, soonish. But if we get that genocide weapon, which is probably on Armeni, we can head them off at the pass.
2.) Sold 90% of those seeds. Stop screaming, we got 2.5 million credits for them. And access to the corporate black market to get rare items, and all the money in a tax-free, untraceable account. Each player gets 100,000 credits to spend. Check out this shiny 8/8 shield!
3.) 300 XP all around. Huzzah!
4.) Discovered another narthak planet, and killed 8 zombie lizards and a maintenance robot. Also blew up a giant exhaust port.
5.) Fizzak created a cipher that even corporate black ops can't crack. Five degrees of success FTW.

Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy

Current OAAAA XP: 75 base + 352 XP; Followers: 15 XP (current as of 8/7/09)

ED: How long did you say the interim was between act 2 and 3 again, ben? 10 years would be great, time to fit a lot of goings on.

BEN: 10 years is correct. Some things for the next session of OAAAA:
1.) Everybody will get to spend their bonus "interim" XP as they please, I've changed my mind about forcing expenditures in a certain way.
2.) I want everyone to think about their interim adventures. At the start of the nextsession, I amthinking we may do Gemini style card "prologues" in which we explore people's adventures: the person we are doing it for presents the overall theme/happenings, and then we run through it, with the group contributing details. Group bonus XP will be assigned based on cool story effects people come up with in these. If this idea seems too complex or seems like it will give other players too much involvement in your interim events,we can can it and just let each person do a narrative, in character or out.
3.) I will clarify happenings in the world at the first session of book 3.

ED: Sounds fun. I wrote up a bunch of ideas, i think there's plenty of room for adventures in between the paragraphs. Brandon, what is your email so i can send you the Tithe sheet. I may not have done a great job on him, he was pretty low on the damage potential, but still could take hits quite well. you may want to remod him, i'm sure ben would be fine with that. although i really think you should keep the pegasus, since it played a major role in the fight with the dragon. Let you fly and catch Aeten, bring him back to the battle and Aeten immediately thereafter struck the killing blow.

--Brandon 20:53, 9 August 2009 (MST) Sweet. A pegasus sounds awesome, and I was totally thinking about getting a mount for Tithe anyway, so that's perfect. I'm glad that Tithe played a solid role. My e-mail is olsenb3 [at] u.washington.edu. I would appreciate a full recap at some point, if someone has the time. Gratz, y'all!!

--Dieter the Bold 15:41, 13 August 2009 (MST) I think such a prologue adventure thing would be awesome. I heartily approve. Also, I personally would like a little GM wild-card in how points get spent, but that's just me. Ben, do you have the time/interest to do that with Galen?

BEN: sure...or rather, if you want you can use your prologue adventure thing to drive your xp expenditure. Or I'm happy to take as heavy of a hand as you want. Also, if we do this, the player who was "on the spot" would have full veto power over any card played: this may sound like a cop-out, but the point is to generate a backstory for those 10 years that appeals to the given player, and that trumps. I don't anticipate this being a problem, but it's easier to enforce than a "don't be a dick" policy. Also, any given player can just opt-out and write/come up with his own background for that time.

--Gdaze 13:48, 16 September 2009 (MST) So is that exp at the top, all the exp we have? Or am I missing the extra bit for the last 10 years? Also, Ben, should I email you with what my guy has been up to? Or are we doing this card thing?
