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.

Attendance and Food Preference

--Dieter the Bold 12:08, 23 April 2009 (MST) I will be there next week for Supers, OAAA or magic or anything. I have been too long from your warm embraces. And I apologize for this.

--Gdaze -- Present. No pizza. Yes magic!

--Dieter the Bold 15:29, 28 April 2009 (MST) Oh yes, pizza please.

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

Ranting and Raving

Matts - Gabe, if you haven't, you might want to look into Perdido Street Station and The Scar by China Mieville. The first is about a steampunk city built in the ruined skeleton of a gigantic creature, and the second is basically about steampunk pirates.

GABE: Is the street station one, the one where the guy likes a girl with an insect head? I've read a little bit of the reviews on it. I'll see if the library has them as I'm going there today.

--Brandon 12:27, 21 April 2009 (MST) Ooh, those sound good. I'm totally going to check one out today, too. If y'all are interested in Steampunk stuff, you should check out the graphic novel series that starts with Steampunk: Manimatron. I have the two books, if anyone wants to borrow them. Unfortunately, the series was never finished, but I think it is still worth the read.

GABE: Haha, I actually have those as well Brandon, they are pretty good. The world is pretty insane but liked the over-all plot, hard as it was to follow at times. All the series I like get canceled...

Well the library is out of both... and has many a hold on both as well, lame.

Edmiao Fetus in jar a mystery, but not a crime Gotta love seattle.

--Gdaze 11:56, 27 April 2009 (MST) So Matt, or anyone else, I'm trying to install an older game on my new computer that has Vista, it causes my computer to crash when I run it. Is there a fix for this problem out there, or do I just have to have an older machine set up to play good games?

Other RPG or Non-RPG or Monthly Board Gaming Day gaming Events

GABE: Matt have you read Dungeon yet? I'm curious to see what you think of it.

Matts - It's a pretty inventive and well-told story. Definitely some chuckles to be had, and there's a surprising depth to the various characters. I'd have to say I'm in favor of it.

GABE: Cool, so far everyone I know whose read it likes it, although they've all been nerds or semi-nerds.

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

BEN: 3-1 in the sealed, 3-0 in my first draft, then an embarassing first round loss in my second draft (single elimination)...still don't really know how that happened the guy was a tol' n00b. But I won 13 packs! Got some great rares, including sen triplets, lavalanche, 2 knight of new alara, and a rafiq of the many. Behemoth sledge is disgusting, as are quasali pridemage and pale recluse. Including the cards I opened for the actual events, I have about...20 packs of Alara Reborn now for us to play with.

--Brandon 13:35, 26 April 2009 (MST) Sweet! Well done. I move that Ed not be allowed to read the ability text of Sen Triplets. Ever.

Edmiao Do i hear a second? no? well, let's just see what all the hub bub is about.... AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! must make control deck, cast other player spells...

BEN: the sen triplets are mythic, so I'm not giving them up until I know what they're worth. I did get "cloven casting" though, I think ed will shit himself over that one too, and its too expensive mana wise to ever be really valuable.

--Gdaze -- Man, these drafts sound fun, maybe I'll try to come along for one. Oh Brandon played his beat down deck (um, the one with the dragon?) against my warrior deck and I have to say I really enjoyed those match ups, twas bloody.

Edmiao you got cloven casting? that's totally going into eye of the storm deck. except that it's only multicolored spells, so only works for electrolyze, i think. It doesn't say "from your hand". What are the rules on copies, are copies of instants considered to be "played" when you put the copy in the stack? ie could you cast electrolyze, copy it, copy the copy, etc until you run out of mana? that would be 5 electrolyzes for 7 mana. course that think costs 7 mana, which is just as much as the eye of the storm.

503.10. To copy a spell or activated ability means to put a copy of it onto the stack; a copy of a spell or ability isn’t “played.”

negate all above comments. that card is worthless at 7 mana cost.

Next step in Super Heroes

-> 3. Drug dealers and criminals all over the city are getting beat up, and quotes from Oliver Cromwell are left at the scene.

Edmiao guess we missed that plot point entirely?

Matts No worries, if you guys tracked down every spitball I threw up, uh, the game wouldn't be very fun.

Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy

Current OAAAA XP: 75 base + 215 XP

Plans to save Danny-Girl from the dragon

Fight the dragon, kill it

Lyra told us where to find the freezing Tears of _____ so we can put out the dragon's breath, right before she extinguished the eternal forge flame in our temple (bitch) by sucking its soul out like a vampire. She will help us fight the dragon. In return we agreed to let her strike the killing blow IF we successfully obtain the Tears. Other allies could also be enlisted in the fight.

Swindle all around

Talk to Grundbad, get him to fight the dragon and kill it. Also, talk to Oryxis, pledge to deliver the ruby shield in return he frees Danny-girl. Dragon dies: Danny free. Grundbad dies, danny free. Win - Win.

Deal with the dragon

Give the dragon something he wants more than Danny. Say the Ruby shield or freeing Iximion.

Dragon vs Dragon

Free Iximion, tell him Oryxis is getting up in his magic shit and doens't he want to kick the shit out of Oryxix for learning magic?
