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.

--Edmiao 09:44, 10 December 2007 (MST) Matt, you up for WFRP on 1/3? will we have a quorum for attendance? Did matt leave for japan already? i guess we will just play it by ear, or plan another exemplars for 1/3
Attendance and Food preference
12/14/07
BEN: present. Are we doing exemplars? I assume yes, but a confirmation from the GM(s) would be comforting.
--Edmiao 15:18, 10 December 2007 (MST)present. no pizza as usual. unless you are getting costco. for some reason i really like costco pizza. i think it's the half inch of cheeze they pile on.
GABE: I know, its so nasty but good at the same time. But, no pizza for me this time either. I will be attending however to ruin everyones' time.
--Dieter the Bold 16:26, 10 December 2007 (MST) Attending, but maybe slightly late due to OT requirements from work. Would like some pizza.
--Walt Jonse 15:54, 11 December 2007 (MST) Unless Jason says different, Pizza for me as well. As far as I know, Exemplars is what we will be doing.
--Gdaze-- So just wondering, would you all like to play at my place this week? Makes it much easier for me to get to 6 o'clock magic kekeke. Also I live right next to a Costco.
--76.164.21.217 13:02, 12 December 2007 (MST)Thats kind of a long ass way for me. I would need to go home, pick up Matt, then drive to Kirkland. It takes a half hour to get to Bens in traffic, and thats only halfway. If its our only option, then I can do it. Another consideration is I am going to have to be near my email constantly all night. We have a major rollout friday and I have to be ready to send updates to the company as they are available.
BEN: let's just do my place: that'll split the difference for everyone, and its easiest for Ed, Dieter, Matt (when he's around), and myself.
--Gdaze-- Sounds fine by 'o' me. Just noticed you guys mentioned my place before so thought I'd offer.
Ranting and raving or other random comments
BEN: Yesterday was really fun and I'm glad everything is back on track: so Exemplars and WFRP it is. I had a blast and it seems that everyone else did too. Starting in January, we should switch back to our 3 week/3 week rotation, unless we want to change that. We should probably discuss location at some point: the most convenient places for most people, I think, are Gabe's place and the BnD gaming wunderhaus. Is it really inconvenient for Jason and Matt to come here?
--Edmiao 14:00, 9 December 2007 (MST) I thought the session went very well also. as for location, for me Jason's place took a lot longer to get to than Gabe's or Ben's (40-50 minutes vs 10-15 minutes).
--Gdaze-- Good good, glad to hear we can keep playing it. So what did you all think of the movie? I just thought it was pretty to look at but overall not a great movie.
--76.164.21.217 13:15, 10 December 2007 (MST)Two things: Seems we have determined that No Gabe=Yes Fun (or if you are a math wizard !Gabe=Fun) AND Golden Compass was pretty terribly written but with nice CG. Armored bears (who break off into deeply personal stories within minutes of meeting random kids)? Are you kidding?
--Edmiao 13:31, 10 December 2007 (MST) Cheryl and I didn't have as strong a dislike for the movie as Ben, Kim and Matt did. That said, it was pretty bad, but not the biggest piece of shit i've ever seen. However, my opinion may be colored by the fact that i saw pirates of the carribean 3 the night before, so any piece of shit would smell like roses in comparison to that disney character sewage waste disposal of a movie.
--Matts 14:31, 10 December 2007 (MST)Golden Compass could have used like 40 more minutes of running time. I think they were pretty harsh in the editing room, but honestly that was only a part of the problem.
--Gdaze-- Oh snap, you wanna go IP 76.164.21.217??? I know I don't contribute to the story by mindlessly talking about math equations or play on the labtop. Kekekeke. Over all the movie to me was just entertaining. It had no messsages or anything "deep" to think about as some reviewers said. The movie needed more armored polar bears fighting. In fact, I would like a movie of just that, maybe fighting some kind of armored or psychic penguins. BUT SPEED RACER! Yes please.
Other Non-RPG gaming Events
Microsoft Playtest
BEN: I'm doing one of those usability tests that Ed told us about...and I'm supposed to bring 3-7 friends next thursday, the 20th. The thing starts between 6:30 and 7, and I'm not sure how long it will run, but any/all of you are welcome to come along and/or bring friends of your own, until the seven slots are filled.
--Edmiao 13:53, 11 December 2007 (MST) what are you testing?
BEN: they didn't say. Anyways, I have to send in names and contact info today, so if any of you want to come, let me know in the next couple of hours (say before 3pm).
--Edmiao 13:04, 12 December 2007 (MST) not for me. i had mentioned it to sarah and she had signed up but got no offers as of yet. so i was asking her if she wanted to join your event.
Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking
--Edmiao Magic Workstation. this link has a link to the download page and another link to a walkthrough. you have to download the magic workstation program and then download a card database.
--Edmiao 13:08, 12 December 2007 (MST) its taken me all week to just go through the red, black and artifact cards. now i have this huge stack which would all go well in a deck. its so hard to whittle it down.
The Next Step in WHFRP Reboot
The Next Step in Exemplars
--Walt Jonse 15:58, 11 December 2007 (MST) I would like to know what you would like to do in the game this coming session. This will help me prepare a few things etc.
Ed: topics for investigation: the world freedom alliance, the identity and allegance of XI, the intentions of Mr. Immortal. Viho will go to the WFA ball to these ends.
Gabe: Oh, who is Mr. Immortal? Like we met him? And did my guy get to talk to Dieter's guy yet? If not that will be for sure on my to do list. Otherwise pretty much the same reasons. Also I want to know who funded our good professor's research, see if any have ties with the Freedom Alliance.
--Edmiao 14:11, 12 December 2007 (MST)someone should write a recap for you. After much cajoling, Viho did convince Geoffry to spend a little time at venture industries, but hub was not around.
Also for GMs, I think Viho had some lines of investigation ongoing. Aimee (the computor programer at Venture Ind.) was going to try to hack into the warehouse computers to see what kind of malicious software may be present, or if there was evidence of naer'do'welling. Viho himself was researching scientists/inventors who might be capable of making XIs holographic projector (if that's what it was) as well as refreshing his knowledge of Verson Getorix (who would be included amongst the greatest inventors ever).
