Revision as of 18:09, 2 February 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.

--BenofZongo 16:02, 27 January 2007 (MST)Unless we change the setup, games come in blocks of 3: I just found that if we went for shorter periods, it made it harder for people to get into character and thereby detracted from a lot of scenarios...also, 3 sessions is usually enough to wrap up an arc, whereas two almost never is. If GM absence necessitates switching games, the way matt and I agreed to do it was that "lost" sessions (ie, sessions from your set of 3) would be open for one shots, but that the 3 of one, then 3 of the other pattern wouldn't be disturbed. Thus, Jin dynasty should run from 2/2 to 2/16, with a possibility of a one shot on the 16th, and then from 2/23-3/9 we will be running game #2, whatever that is. Obviously, this setup is up for discussion, especially if we are planning to run Jin more or less continuously until it wraps up, but I found it very frustrating as a GM if I didn't know when I was supposed to be in charge or how many sessions I would have. Since you and Jason will in all likelihood be in charge for the next few months, you two should discuss this issue between the two of you and then set down what we will be playing on what dates. Also, we will definitely be at my place next week, Heather is on Friday Night Call so the house is mine.

--Edmiao 19:35, 28 January 2007 (MST) Jason had proposed and I agreed that we run Jin through to its conclusions straight. Although with a possible two week hiatus, maybe we should switch to 3 weeks of another game (PA or Exemplars or other) and then back to Jin.

Attendance and Food preference

2/2/07

--Edmiao 20:44, 29 January 2007 (MST) I'm the GM, of course I'll be there. but it's time for terijaki, so no pizza for Ed.
--Dieter the Bold 23:34, 31 January 2007 (MST) Dieter be there and be wantin' the 'zza. No surprises. May need a ride home, depending on Gabe's attendance.
Gabe - I shall be there as well. I'm going to try and get my g/f's car again. As I'm still recoverying, I have no idea how long I can last though. I've actually been sick since last Friday night. Anyway I WILL be showing up though. No foods for me though. Any pop requests?

--BenofZongo 00:06, 1 February 2007 (MST)It's my muthafuckin house, and I missed last week, so I will be there barring acts of god. I wants me some coke, pepsi, or rootbeer. Btw, I'm sick too, but that sure as shit ain't gonna make me Nate (the torch has been passed again).

Nate here: I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it tomorrow. I have to work until 8 pm, and I may not be able to get down to seattle, afterwards. So I'm gonna go with a maybe. If I can make it down I will.

--Gdaze Alright guys. I WILL have my g/f's car so I shall be there roughly on time. I will have to drop her off at her drom first. I shall pick up some coke and rootbeer then. Hey Ben you ain't too sick are ya? I mean I'm sure I have a strain of whatever it is you have... I just don't wanna get sicker! Also where do you work Nate? Can one of us go pick you up? It would be nice to have everyone for the start.

--BenofZongo 12:24, 2 February 2007 (MST)He's working till 8, so it doesn't make sense to pick him up unless he needs a ride after work, and we can organize that at game if that's what needs to be done. No, I"m not too sick: sore throat and runny nose to start, now just a nose that runs like a faucet: I got lots of sleep this week which helped clear it up fast.

--Edmiao 17:09, 2 February 2007 (MST) Nate, a yea or nay would be useful to your GM.

Other random comments to the group

--BenofZongo 00:33, 16 January 2007 (MST)Against my better judgement, I am preparing, by popular demand, a "horror" one shot for the Saturday before my Bday (Feb 10th). The title of the one-shot is "The House of Usher". Somewhere in Northeastern Hungary, October, 1945. Characters will be pregen, and the system we will be using is Cyberpunk.
So far I have 5/6 players for the one shot on Feb. 10th: last call for signups will be this friday, when I will be handing out characters for the players' perusal (remember, no sharing of info). After that, only the most pitiful display will gain you entrance into that elite cadre, and you will be forced to make do with the dregs, as it were.

--Gdaze Guys I might be late... I'm feeling kinda bleh. So I might take a weebit of a nap. That way I'll be able to last longer tonight while I get pounded. Laterz!

The Next Step in PA

PA Recap: [[2]]

--Edmiao 10:07, 19 December 2006 (MST) if you guys want those night vision goggles and climbing gear back you might want to check the bandit camp again in the morning.

ben here. Just some quick notes. First off, I know the players on friday were a bit railroaded into meeting the first group of alts...sorry about that, but getting new characters into the story ain't always easy. Anyways, just because I forced the introduction, doesn't mean that the new characters and the old characters have to work together at all. I think that there are some mutual interests and some possibilities for assistance to be exchanged, but don't feel like you HAVE to stick together in any way just cause I introduced them. This, likewise, goes for the second group of alts. Also, I apologize that things were again a bit scattered, this time due largely to problems with the power outage and some of our missing players. I understand that this was due to circumstance, so hopefully things will get underway properly next session.

--Edmiao 10:10, 19 December 2006 (MST)I don't think we were railroaded, actually i think we almost missed the introduction. On retrospect, it was a rather stupid idea for Grant and Shennong to go out of the valley alone. they should have returned to look for Sarah elsewhere, maybe Falls. and then should have been better prepared for leaving the valley with healing herbs and such prepared.

--Dieter the Bold 20:12, 2 January 2007 (MST) Grant votes going back to Edgewood, and would like to have passed out after the fighting died down from the PolyCell-V. This way he can wake up with a little more centered perspective on the new arrivals. He'd be much more amenable to being friendly and helping them into the valley in return for further aid.
