Revision as of 10:15, 4 June 2008
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.

To be less, as both Ed and I described it, verbose, Dieter is moving in with some friends of his at the end of August. Thank you) (DIETER: Awwww.... I was hoping for a few eruptions of confusion and fear before clearing it all up. Spoilsport).
BEN "spoilsport": sorry. I thought you might be, but then I decided that clearing up fear and confusion on the wiki would take up like 5 pages of text.
Attendance and Food Preference
5/30/08
--Dieter the Bold 11:24, 2 June 2008 (MST) Present. Pizza please.
--Brandon 20:47, 2 June 2008 (MST) If there will be Werewolfing on Friday, I will do my best to be there as early as I can, but probably won't be able to be there any earlier than 9:30 or 10. If there is no Werewolfing, I will not come by, 'cause I have to get up early Saturday. Regardless, no pizza for me. Oh, and if god exists, he still loves you.
--Gdaze 21:14, 2 June 2008 (MST) Okay, actually Friday night Noelle WILL be spending it with her family, so I will be at gaming. Did we wanna do werewolf?
--Brandon 11:29, 3 June 2008 (MST) I think werewolf would be a good idea; hopefully, I'll show up in time to have fun storming the castle.
--Matts 16:26, 3 June 2008 (MST)If gabe's gonna be there, why would we not do werewolf?
Ranting and raving or other random comments
Other RPG or Non-RPG gaming Events
--Gdaze-- When would people be down for some Heroscape? Weekdays work for me as well.
--Gdaze 03:53, 1 June 2008 (MST) Hope the BBQ was fun! So, anyone up for a quick game of heroscape on Monday? Or Tuesday? (Tuesday is better but can do Monday).
--Dieter the Bold 11:24, 2 June 2008 (MST) No thanks.
BEN: Kim will be out of town this upcoming Saturday and Sunday. I will probably have to put in some work hours during the day, but late afternoon/evening/night for either day is open for a one shot/magic/board games/whatever. If we have a good time drafting this friday, I might be interested in doing a second draft saturday with another set of cards, although I'm not sure how much interest there would be in that. Otherwise, I'm always excited about one shots. So if a saturday or sunday late afternoon or later get together sounds good to you, post here.
JASON: You can always NPC with us in Deadlands Sunday. Sorry I flaked out last weekend, it was the end of my vacation and I was like triple booked, and then we just ended up taking a sit down and relax day. I had a lot to process.
--Brandon 20:47, 2 June 2008 (MST) I totally spaced on this. Saturday evening would actually be awesome to do a draft! I'm done with my conference at 2pm, and Kate is working all night that night.
Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking
The card for Nameless Inversion actually has the changeling attribute, so I think your brighthearth banneret does count.
--Brandon 10:51, 28 May 2008 (MST) Yeah, I think this is right now. We were worried about Blades of Velis Vel, but it also has the changeling attribute, so same dif.
BEN: I think we should get a head count for doing a draft this friday. As far as I can tell, in would be: Ben, Matt, Ed, and Alan. If this is incorrect, let me know. Also, someone will have to get the boosters (preferably wherever brandon buys them for 2.50 a piece) we need 2 or 3 boosters per person: last time we used 2 and it worked fine, but tourneys use 3, so I imagine that works well also. Said pickup person can also get la pizza.
--Brandon 14:19, 2 June 2008 (MST) For a small fee, I can hook you up with my Magic dealer: berserk games.
--Brandon 15:32, 2 June 2008 (MST) Ummmmmm. So I just realized that I'm not going to get my Magic fix for a while. Any chance of some people wanting to get together to play Magic - either a draft or normal-like - on Wednesday at nineish?
--Gdaze 17:21, 2 June 2008 (MST) Well I'd be down, since nobody gives heroscape any love.
JASON: Depending on the location, I could be in. If you guys want to come to my place its for sure. Also, I am teaching Rumi magic, so its good for her as well. And finally, I am grabbing all my old terrain pieces this week, so I will have a fully stocked 4x8 gaming board with a ton of pro quality terrain as well as all sorts of mediocre level stuff as well. I want to do some miniatures gaming. So, Gabe, lets talk.
BEN: I can't wednesday, but like I said, Kim is out of town Fri morning to Mon. Morning, so I am down to magic it up any time during those days. I imagine, Brandon, that you are out of town for the weekend tho.
--Gdaze 19:04, 2 June 2008 (MST) Sure thing-o. Although heroscape I can really only do here due to set up and shit. Wed I'm down for da draft if nobody else is and you actually want to Brandon, but as you know I'm a bit far-o-way for you.
--Brandon 20:47, 2 June 2008 (MST) See above for my excitedness about playing Magic on Saturday (I'm not out of town this Friday - just at a conference). If Saturday works, I'd probably rather do that than Wednesday. If not, Gabe, I'd still prolly be down for Wednesday, though I'd have to find a car . . .
--Gdaze 21:15, 2 June 2008 (MST) Yeah that is Noelle's grad ceremony so no go there.
BEN: I'm down to do a second draft (after friday's) on saturday, or to just magic it up for a few hours: with the new cards we'll have by then, we can do another 'sealed deck' thing like we did last week. as for friday, I'm down for another werewolf session.
--Brandon 11:28, 3 June 2008 (MST) Ok, let's plan on some Magic on Saturday. I'm going to have to bail on the Wednesday idea because it looks like I won't be able to procure transportation to plasticland to play with Gabe. Sorry, Gabe!
--Gdaze Tis coo', I wanted some time to refine my decks anyway. *hides tears of burning sadness and stuff*
--Gdaze-- We gonna be doing some normal magic on Friday also right? I cleaned up my red/blue draw deck a bit and like to try it out.
--Edmiao 09:15, 4 June 2008 (MST) ben wanted to do draft, but critical mass may be lacking. i'm happy to play constructed decks, i haven't played for weeks! any magic is good by me.
The Next Step in WHFRP Reboot
--Gdaze 20:59, 11 May 2008 (MST) So like we are raising a huge army. While you were all out by the by. We meet with some punk ass monks who may need to be wiped out, I forsee that we will have to fight many clergy in our goal to get to the top.
--Edmiao 10:59, 12 May 2008 (MST)great. sounds fun. kill monks, jacob totally down for that.
--Brandon 14:03, 12 May 2008 (MST) I think that we should be careful with the holy-folks, as I fear that a reputation as clergy-killers will negatively impact our ability to rabble-rouse. I suggest Plan A should be to affect an air of legitimacy by using our own holy-folks (Walten, Ambrose, . . .) to do the talking when we run into potentially hostile clergyman. Plan B, then, would be to kill the punk ass monks quietly.
Also, we should think about our rabble-rousing strategy in Nuln, since I imagine the citizens of Nuln will be less impressed by our "unfurl the banners and be charming demagogues" strategy than the country mice were. I imagine that the Baroness will be key in gaining support in Nuln. Remember, that we have (at least) 3 objectives in Nuln: (1) get Ignatio's money from the Baroness, (2) raise troops (something like 2,500 more), (3) get guns, lots of guns. This, of course, is all in order to complete our primary objective of destroying our enemies with smoke and fire.
--Gdaze-- Yeah, in fact I don't think we should do the whole marching in with banners flying thing at all, but before we do get there lets have the Sigmar-ish banner made up.
First things first I think we should see the Baroness. Tell her what we need, and ask her the current happenings in the city, you know... get the mood of the city down. Also learn promanient members of the city watch/milita. Once we learn about them we may need to make some contact with them before we start open recruiting.
When we do start recruiting we need to make a really big specticale, perhaps even a fair/gaming event? You know, may pole, jousting, stupid shit like that. Also I'd like to walk the town a bit and find some demogauge doom sayers and then jump up and counter them. Not recruit right there but just to get the idea in the mix that there is something worth fighting for.
But most of all we need the Baroness's favor.
--Matts 14:39, 12 May 2008 (MST)Remember that the sovereign of Nuln is the Countess, though...
--Gdaze-- Right... and our ear to her is the baroness! BLAH!
BEN: i agree with brandon. also, since at some point we were concerned that the baronness might be working for the skaven: what if this is just a ploy to get ignatio out of miragliano? i know its improbable, but it might not hurt to send some soldiers back that way just to stay informed...
--Gdaze-- Totally on the baronness that she may be working for the skaven. That said, we can't do much about Miragliano, their problem now. Oh wait, you put informed... it may be good to have a runner party going back and forth to carry news of the going ons. In case the ol'hag does try to backstab us. BUT, we should keep an eye on the baronness... Nuln has never been a friendly city to us.
--Brandon 12:16, 13 May 2008 (MST) I like the idea of the spectacle, if we can get the appropriate legitimate backing, though I don't think we should do anything that takes too long in terms of set-up (we only have a month or so to recruit). Also, I agree on the idea of sending word back to Miragliano, but Tristano will likely scoff at the idea of a runner party - that's much too low tech. In game, he'll be happy to show you his plans for a message delivery system routed through the tunnel complex (hint: it involves both combustion and hydraulics).
The Next Step in Werewolf
--Matts 16:28, 3 June 2008 (MST)What all happened last time?
--Edmiao 19:38, 3 June 2008 (MST)so what's the plan this time? that book tells us something important about the warehouse and we go there and kick some ass? do we have any other loose ends, how about the evil wurm corporate hq? and what ever became of the egg thing?
Next step in Super Heroes
--Matts 10:03, 28 May 2008 (MST)Hey peoples, email me your Super Heroes characters if you haven't already. If you don't have a Super Heroes character, well that's your problem right there!
--Gdaze-- Yur face is my problem. I'm still working on my dude, but I can send you the rough draft. I ended up dropping the teleportation, just too weird and didn't make a lot of sense.
ED: are we using 175 points + 175 point disads = total 350 points with similar restrictions as listed from jason's exemplars?
MATT: 200 + 150 disad. No real restrictions but attacks higher than 12d6 will get scrutiny, higher than 14d6 are iffy, and I'm looking at 20 resistant defense being pretty high. Generally I'd like for your characters to have a particular combat niche that you can articulate pretty well.
Just send me the characters, and I'll bring up anything that makes me uncomfortable.
KIM: Would anyone be opposed to me joining the supers game? If so, no offense taken, seriously. It's been a while since I played masquerade or werewolf, so ya'll can call me "Rusty".
--Brandon 15:35, 2 June 2008 (MST) I, for one, would love to have you join, Kim. The excess of testosterone at gaming sometimes makes me nauseated. Also, I've never played this Hero system, so I'm worse than rusty. Speaking of which, I can't really make a character cause I don't have any of them books y'all are using. That's probably ok, though, since my crazy summer means I won't be around as much as I would like. So, I will likely just make a character that can drop in every once in a while for fun, rather than a character to build the game around.
--Gdaze-- Well thats okay by me! Hey Brandon, since I love making characters in the hero system, you want to tell me the kinda dude you wanna play and I could give you some ideas?
--Brandon 20:47, 2 June 2008 (MST) Sweet. Check out my thoughts at BrimStone.
