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.

--Dieter the Bold 11:46, 4 September 2008 (MST) Alright lads. We're gamers, so we're lazy by definition. I am lazier than most. But Halloween is a holiday I always feel bad about for not coming up with an awesome costume. I hereby forward the motion that we make that session a costumed session. Two months to come up with something awesome and wear it to the session. Bonus points to be awarded for those who come as their characters.
--Gdaze 11:00, 5 September 2008 (MST) I'm pretty sure I will be busy on said day. If I'm not, I will come in costume... but one it is over 2 months away so I have no idea, and two, yeah, typically I got out on that holiday.
BEN: as far as halloween goes, and as long as we've opened the can of worms that is switching sessions from friday to saturday or vice versa, the 31st of october may be an ideal candidate for saturday, as opposed to friday, gaming. Either way, I still think people should come dressed as their characters.
--Edmiao 14:24, 8 September 2008 (MST) Definitely will be gone if Friday 10/31, might be able to make Saturday 11/1 but won't be able to tell you until the day o
Ranting and raving or other random comments
--Gdaze 08:08, 6 October 2008 (MST) Hey Jason, do you see Dieter or Ben often? If so I was gonna give one of them the two bucks I owez ya this Friday!
Edmiao anyone have a recommendation on a good laptop?
JASON: Gabe, I should see Dieter this weekend, so give it to him. And Ed, try outlet.dell.com, you can get great deals there. Thats where I always buy my laptops.
Other RPG or Non-RPG or Monthly Board Gaming Day gaming Events
Sunday October 12th
Edmiao anyone up for magic this sunday afternoon, say 4 to whenever?
October 19/20
Edmiao cheryl is going away for two weeks to learn how to use a sequencing machine. so I'm hoping for magic in the evenings 10/14-23 and hopefully a magic or board game event on the 19th or 20th? anyone, anyone?
Gabe: Dang, should have checked the wiki this weekend, Noelle was working so I sat around Sunday making magic decks heh heh.
Edmiao the above posts are for this sunday and the next weekend after that!
--Gdaze 00:31, 7 October 2008 (MST) Ah yes... ahem... Sure, I'm down for some magic on Sunday, I think. Will confirm by Friday for sure. I'm trying out this venom/life deck, black/green. I don't have many black/green hybrid cards though. Hopefully I'll get my Shard cards by before this Friday, I wanna try that crazyness out.
JASON: Rumi and I will be down with either magic or board games Sunday. I am resisting the urge to take cards from my sale stock to make decks.
Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking
BEN: played in 5 8-person, single elimination drafts today. went 1-1, 2-1 (yay), 1-1, 0-1, 0-1. Weak finish, but pretty good overall. Picked up a couple of cool rares: 3x goblin assault (time to make a woop-ass goblin deck), empyrial archangel, Caldera hellion, among others. Also, bought some rares from Jason at his convention, mostly just ones I like the pic on, but I did buy a sigg, river guide, cause he's a bad ass. Obviously, I've also increased our alara rares/uncommons by ~225 cards or so, so we have like 500 total now.
--Brandon 14:46, 6 October 2008 (MST) Are you all interested in doing a Sealed Deck or somesuch thing this Friday with all these bitchin' new cards Ben has amassed? I think it'd be way fun.
--Gdaze 00:33, 7 October 2008 (MST) I bought some from Jason too! Only 7 bucks worth though.
I'd be down for a sealed deck, although I'm gonna be late from now on because I changed my hours so I get off at 6. I'd like to test out my normal deck too but with magic possbily on Sun, we'll see. If we DO sealed, can you pick up one from your source and I'll pay ya back?
Edmiao when you say sealed, brandon, you mean just shuffle up ben's alara cards and give everyone a stack to make a deck with? sure, why not. or we could do that sunday if it takes more time and others were interested
--Brandon 09:45, 7 October 2008 (MST) Yes, Ed, that's exactly what I mean! I mentioned something like that to Ben, and he suggested that doing a "sealed" deck thing would be easier, and take less time, than a "draft". We could just separate a big stack of cards by rarity, and then randomly create sets of cards, and each person could create a deck from one such set. I think it'd be fun, and free! On another tip, I can't play magic Sunday, but could totally play on Saturday afternoon, if that was a possibility for others.
--Matts 10:19, 7 October 2008 (MST)I'm already ransacking the alara cards for my scarecrow deck, and I want to test that out!
Next step in Super Heroes
Edmiao I wonder if the suveilance cameras caught cortez and the battle on tape, could be good PR sort of the Guardians most wanted list.
--Gdaze 02:29, 21 September 2008 (MST) Yeah... except then we went to the park and fought the mutant kid... had to knock out a bunch of teens with Ash Berry's spores... and um... he got away...
--Brandon 12:37, 21 September 2008 (MST) I just want to say that that last battle had a lot of great moments. Silver Snake being thrown into the air and then transforming and swinging back down in mid air; Ashbury flying above the crowd of teenagers and releasing pollen everywhere; Elemental taunting Zeus, and then not budging when the counterattack came; Brimstone walking with Silver Snake as armor, dragging a line of fire through the air, and then teleporting inside of Zeus's shield. Good times, all.
Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy
--Gdaze 08:09, 6 October 2008 (MST) So what quest were we given in the current city?
Edmiao none. Saffo fell in love with Aefra and Gaelen really thinks they should hook up. Other than that, we are to make a list of the goods we want to bring on our treck to the wood elves and if we can find them into the dwarven tunnels through the mountains. Some old religious chick head honcho gave us unlimited funds.
--Gdaze-- Um... aren't the woodelves currently involved in genocide against fairies? Like all of them? Is there a reason we are going to these zealots?
--Matts 11:56, 6 October 2008 (MST)Why are we going to the wood elves? I need a summary!
--Brandon 14:37, 6 October 2008 (MST) Make that two summaries! Er, two calls for a summary. Does this mean you guys didn't wup the dragon in our absence? The shame! Do the troll and I have to be there to get anything done? ; )
Edmiao sorry. Orixi's lair is on the other side of the mountains. travel by sea seems out of the question, or extremely expensive and dangerous. there's a pass through the mountains, carved by the now extinct clan of dwarves in the long long ago. how to find the cave? maybe the wood elves know. and we have a half wood elf who will guide us to their forest. the wood elf forest is between us and the mountains, or at least a small stretch of it is. the greater part of the wood elf kingdom/forest is directly west, but it stretches south in a panhandle. yes, wood elves are waging genocide against fairies (bad news for aefra). she may have to not talk to them. thus the plan is, find the wood elves, get them to lead us to the cave or direct us, go through said cave and get eaten by a dragon.
--Gdaze-- Perhaps we should make it look like Aefra is a prisonor. Or just tell them the truth, we are going to see the dragon. I mean they want to kill all fairies, and I think it is very likely they will think that us going to the dragon is as good as being eatten.
Stuff we want to buy:
Horses for all plus one or two as pack animals
Winter clothing and sleeping rolls
climbing gear and rope
torches and lanterns
rations
dragon repellent
picks, shovel, other digging equipment to clear cave ins? dynamite?
Ketchup (if you can't beat 'em . . .)
