Revision as of 18:40, 28 December 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.

Corrected Dates.

--Matts 01:02, 21 December 2007 (MST)Why don't we do Exemplars on the 3rd, so we can get back to the coveted 3-3 rotation?

GABE: I think you will actually be on the 4th Matt.

Ed: anyone interested in board games or magic on friday, saturday or sunday during the day, say 1-6 or 7pm? got gamer brother in law. getting tired of kicking his ass with my magic decks, he has a smaller collection and refuses to play my decks.

--Gdaze-- I may be interested in some gaming on Saturday or Sunday, magic is always fun.

ED:groovey. which day is better for you? Jason, you interesed in a bit of the magic this weekend?

Attendance and Food preference

Ranting and raving or other random comments

GABE: Hey... like go look at my page and tell me what you think... do those notes make the world seem interesting? Too keechi? I'd love some input.

--Matts 01:03, 21 December 2007 (MST)I'll take a look when I get home from Japan, where I am currently. In other news, guess what? I popped the question to Rina, and am now engaged!

--Gdaze-- Sweet dude, I hope that turns out well for you! And man I wish I was in Japan right now, miss that place.

--Edmiao 10:21, 21 December 2007 (MST) Congratulations! she said yes? what a sucker!

--Gdaze-- Wow lots of edits this morning. Question to group, while it seems that Examplers has finally been killed off before it could really even start... I know Ben said he wanted to see me GM something and Ed seemed to be okay with it too. Just so you know I GM pretty differently from what the group might be use to... for example if you pick a character who doesn't fit into the group from the begaining, I simple won't allow it. (less of course it is a big part of you character's history and there is a reasonable way to make your character stop being a fag) I guess nothing is really set in stone... SO!

If people wouldn't mind this, please let me know if your down with the idea and I'll post ideas for what we can play. And uh... let me know here, in this subject area.

--Dieter the Bold 10:43, 27 December 2007 (MST) Gabe, totally down with you GMing. I'd prefer it not be another WarHammer Fantasy, but I'm totally down with 40K or something else.

BEN: sure thing. I'm also against more WHFRP, but I don't care what else we do. If you want to GM, Gabe it's all yours. If not, I can GM. If I GM, I will also be enforcing much stricter rules on character generation and player/GM appropriate behaviour, including the same rule Gabe proposed above. WHoever wants to GM needs to be ready to go with character creation pretty quick, no more dilly-dallying.

--Gdaze--Haha, I also wouldn’t be interested in yet another WHFRP. I mean I’m already GMing one and playing in another. So let me toss out some ideas to see what people are interested in.

Werewolf – Using the old system, could be fun but I know most people don’t like it because they have rules (GASP!).

Warhammer 40k – Two things with this. The Blackspire Press one doesn’t come out till the end of next month. So we could wait for that OR could do it with the Hero system. It is fun that way but at the same time combat can bog down a bit. I was thinking characters could either start out as more gang-like or maybe even as members of low nobility.

Supers – But with a twist! I was thinking of one being the forces of “good” and “evil” fighting it out on Earth. It is tacky and overdone I guess but it could be fun. I was also thinking of supers but in a PA like setting.

Steampunk / Fantasy – I know, we are already doing fantasy so I don’t think this one will be as popular. I’d use the Hero system if we did.

Man you wiki-blocked me what good! Quick other idea for a game...

Wormwood - Not sure if I would do a totally bio planet, I was also thinking a similar setting but on a normal planet. So this would be humans struggling to survive against the oppersive monster regieme.

Nothing really coming to mind right now. What kind of games would you all be interested in?

ED: wiki blocking bitch. I am down for whomever GMing. I'm curious to see gabe GM, but whatever. Personally, I am interested in playing my supers character, Viho. If others are into a supers game, cool. if not, whatever. Ben wants to do a 40k game. I have no interest in space marines but will play if you all want to. primarily this lack of interest is because i never played 40k minatures, so have no nostalgia for the world, and i know nothing about the world, so it does not hold any draw for me. also, I have never liked military command structures in rpg if one player has higher rank/priority than the others. this tends to make me want to not follow my orders, which is counterproductive for the game. I can deal with all that if the consensus is otherwise. I agree that we don't want to play two WFRP games at the same time. i am up for a different high fantasy game, though. or a different setting game that uses the WFRP rules in a not WFRP universe.

All your other ideas sound interesting to me, gabe. we should decide if it is to be you or ben, sounds like gabe is getting more interested in gm'ing, so probably we should give him the chance since he hasn't gmed for us before. then, i would say, gabe, what of those games are you most interested in?

--Gdaze-- Eh whatever, don't expect anything too epic from me. Also I agree with Ed that I don't have as much interest in playing Space Marines. I was only gonna gm cause some people sounded like they wanted another game to play and were wondering how I'd do. If someone else really wants to GM thats fine too. I create stuff all the time in my spare time so I do have a lot of ideas.

I'd be glad to do any of them. I think Werewolf or Wormwood would be fun.

--Gdaze-- Oh so you know, let me know what you all want to play. I need some time to get ready, but can be ready quick assuming you all let me know what you want to play. I think Matt and Dieter both have problems with werewolf due to how you start out a low "rank". And as I said before I think Wormwood could be fun too. I'd be willing to wait for Warhammer 40k to come out as well.

WEREWOLF PITCH NOTE! Please read this and tell me what you guys think. Does anyone even want to play this? I know some people don't like werewolf but I forgot who. If you guys don't like this, tis cool, but let me know ASAP! I'd love to start working on this! Or whatever else we end up doing.

If werewolf doesn't look as fun to play, I suppose I could do vampire. Personally though I feel vampire will lead to players just killing mass humans. I like the control needed in werwolf.

Other Non-RPG gaming Events

Microsoft Playtest

Ed: guy who buys software: Rex Yang 206-399-7495 rex.yang@premieresoftware.net

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

Ed: If anyone sees two white enchantments that say : "target creature gets +x+x where x is the number of basic land types you have in play" I lost them from my basic lands deck. i think i enchanted a teammate's creatures and may have lost them in the suffle.

GABE: So Ed and I played last Friday, yes we actually were able to find some time to play between all the rounds of slap and tickle we also played. First of all his "tap to make target player loose" deck is a BITCH. I hate it. But it is kinda fun to try and kill him before you loose. We had some great matches and my green decks I would say won about 50%.

The Next Step in WHFRP Reboot

WHFRP Reboot Recap

--Edmiao 16:32, 12 December 2007 (MST) Jason, Matt2, you guys joining WFRP? just curious. next episode will include fireworks.

--Edmiao 10:56, 19 December 2007 (MST) from the lack of response, i assume the answer is "no"

--Gdaze-- Not like we are gonna play this anytime soon, kekekeke! So should we all become witch hunters?

--Edmiao 14:30, 19 December 2007 (MST) if you want, i'd be up for hunting witches. seems likely we will play wfrp on 1/3 or 1/10

--Walt Jonse 13:41, 20 December 2007 (MST) Sorry for slow response. I became fascinated with the back of my eyelids. I would like to play. For those who want it, my email address is waltjonse@gmail.com.

--76.164.21.217 14:03, 20 December 2007 (MST)No WHFRP for me, sorry I missed this. I have been swamped.

--Edmiao 14:52, 20 December 2007 (MST)cool!

--Matts 01:05, 21 December 2007 (MST)Awesome. Check out the WHFRP Reboot page to see our character creation system; we'll have you up and running next session no problem. If you'd prefer to start with an NPC, there's a whole platoon of em!

--Walt Jonse 22:30, 26 December 2007 (MST) I am sorry, but my priorities have changed. I will not be taking part in the game. Have fun.

The Next Step in Exemplars

--Jason 11:34, 26 December 2007 (MST)I cant do this anymore. It has stopped being fun. The group dynamic is taxing and frustrating, and I just dont derive any pleasure from it anymore. I feel bad, and I am sorry. Matt#2 comes up to me and asks me to get him villains, or work on the story, and all I do is delay and eventually do a poor job. I have no motivation to do this. This whole deal was really weighing heavily on my mind, so I had a meeting with Ben and he really helped me. For a time after that I was excited; I saw all of these possibilities for cool stuff and great story things. I know they are there; I am certain they can happen. Yet even with this knowledge I find no motivation to continue. I apologize to everyone for being a suckaface.

--Walt Jonse 22:34, 26 December 2007 (MST) So now we know and knowing is ... My apologies for any dreams destroyed. I will not continue without a trusted assistant, and I have trust issues. It was good meeting you all. If you wish, I am open to social contact as long as we have safety words and protection. If you wish to shun me, I will understand. I may even welcome being shunned. It certainly would be a new experience. Just choose a color that goes good with my eyes when you send me the Letter.

Gabe: Well this sucks. But eh, if it isn't fun for the GM(s?) then I guess I understand. SIDE NOTE: Jason, could you please leave up what you have on the Wiki for Examplers? Mainly the character creation process, such as the rules (rules of y, x, blah blah). Thanks!

--Dieter the Bold 10:42, 27 December 2007 (MST) Jason, I apologize for my part in not bringing my A or even B game to the character. I half-assed his background and creation for so long you had no idea, and therefore no chance to correct, my plan for playing him. Walt/Matt, you were a fine GM while it lasted, so you have my vote to play or pitch game ideas at us in the future.

GABE: Oh right, just want to 2nd what Dieter said about being a fine GM. I enjoyed the one time I played and actually have almost always enjoyed Jason as GM. I believe I'm correct that if you ever want to just stop by for even a quick apperance in WHFRP we have a lot of NPCs who can be played. Might be a nice way to get to know us.

--76.164.21.217 11:28, 27 December 2007 (MST)No apologies are necessary. The fact of the matter is I just want different things from a game than you guys. I have tried too many times to force these games to be what I want, and that is not only unfair to you guys but it just doesnt work. I dont plan on removing anything from the wiki. Even if it were removed, however, you can always use the history feature to find any previous page. Nothing is ever deleted from a well constructed database.

Ed: bummer
