Current events
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.

So I just though I would share this with the group.
I picked up a table top game called AT-43, it uses pre-painted figures that are very cool but off-the-wall expensive. However Fantasy Flight won't carry the product in America anymore so they discounted them by over 50%. The plot of the game is that there are this robotic race who is trying to destory planets in order to build Dyson spheres in order to stop the universe from evertually imploding (very long term plans).
Anyway, stuff happens, and there is now a four way war, two human sides, the robot people, and space apes. A huge fight ends up happening on one of the robot Dyson spheres.
Wow lots of background? Anyway, they came out with an "RPG" where you play as mixed fragtions on the Dyson Sphere, and here is the plot on why the races work together...
Illegal actions are taking away from the war effort, so they must be stopped so all resources can go towards fighting each other.
Wow, its like they didn't even try. Lets work together so we can kill each other faster. If you fail the mission though the Dyson Sphere breaks and the sun inside breaks out.
The universe is actually pretty neat but sometimes suffers from very poor story elements.

--Brandon 15:05, 15 December 2008 (MST) Can I get a recap of last session? Thanks.
Gabe: We all almost died... no really, WE ALL ALMOST DIED.
So I'm gonna give you a quick re-cap with this guy and that guy, some other person can re-write it.
We spent a day in the city of pompus jerk-offs doing some research. Met with the high wizard, he said he can't do Grundell's "task" just yet because of his important research. The next day we flew off on the carpet again.
We got to the tower pretty quick, it is massive. We decided that the best plan would be to fly into a window at the top, expect perhaps some arrows or such from defenders.
Instead the entire carpet was hit with the force of a dragon's strike and we all went flying into the air, we were really high up (enough to take around 30D6 of damage). We had nine turns.
Ah... for the rest I think I should post with names of characters as it is epic.
Edmiao after we began the incident, i was looking at the falling rules, and i think we actually had 9 segments (not 9 phases) to act. i kept it to myself in the interest of not being the sole survivor of the session (as the only character with wings). although that would have been interesting, Aefra could have probably saved one person, who to pick?
Gabe: Fantus would have insisted you save Galen. And offer many apologies to the two people who helped us get there...
Fantus has potions and a nasty claw, Aetan has a nice big club, but Galen can bring down the power of a God. When it comes time for punishment of those who did this, I think he would be of great use... plus a healer around when we save her is good too! And if any of us have a chance at making the people in the Kingdom beleive us it is Galen. (not saying Galen is the best in the group, in fact as a team we are pretty awesome, just saying that the most help back in our hometown will be Galen, but also Fantus has seen Galen's powers, healing, protecting us from heat and cold... Fantus figures that if he can keep most of us fighting he is very important)
Left Tithe out cuz he was lagging.
BEN: hah, 9 phases...you guys would have been pancakes. Well, board's a-play, and I'm quite pleased with how things turned out from a "storytelling" perspective...not to mention that killing ALL the players at one stroke is pretty drastic...although I guess it would have only been two. Damn, talk about a brutal session if that's how it'd gone...
