17:45:35 Topic for #d&d set by Ballig at Sun Jan 2 17:18:15 2011
17:45:58 <Mekkis_x200> moin
17:46:22 <Jevouse> he's now bringing in the one with the complete knowledge i suppose
17:47:08 diebot ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
17:47:14 <Mekkis_x200> or something
17:50:51 <Jevouse> is that mekkis's sentient computer?
17:51:18 Sachiru has quit (Quit: Shutting Down )
17:51:28 <Mekkis_x200> what? diebot?
17:51:34 <Jevouse> no, you
17:51:37 <Jevouse> x200
17:51:51 <Mekkis_x200> no
17:52:05 <Mekkis_x200> I just like using a different nick for each machine I'm on
17:52:12 <Jevouse> and you have three machines
17:52:26 <Mekkis_x200> three machines connected at the moment
17:52:42 <Jevouse> how many do you have total
17:54:05 <Mekkis_x200> ummm
17:54:21 <Mekkis_x200> many
17:54:40 <Ballig> he only has one
17:54:42 <Mekkis_x200> three thinkpads: a T61, an x200 and a T41.
17:54:48 <Ballig> he just pretends to connect on more than one !
17:54:52 <Mekkis_x200> a nokia N97
17:55:08 <Spaceshot_tm2> N97 is old
17:55:10 <Spaceshot_tm2> OLD
17:55:12 <Mekkis_x200> ti4200, kerrepmemszrualis, and my NAS
17:55:18 <Spaceshot_tm2> get with the times man
17:55:21 <Mekkis_x200> Spaceshot_tm2, it runs IRC and DevCA
17:55:41 <Spaceshot_tm2> my phone runs IRC
17:55:58 <Mekkis_x200> does it run DevCA?
17:56:00 <Spaceshot_tm2> and I wouldn't run DevCA on it, it's not big enough to make it work well enough for the effort
17:56:21 <Spaceshot_tm2> it's like saying, I can play starcraft 2 on my ipad
17:56:27 <Mekkis_x200> you have an ipad
17:56:29 <Mekkis_x200> ugh
17:56:29 <Jevouse> you can play terran
17:56:35 <Spaceshot_tm2> who cares? hasn't got a keyboard/mouse and it's too small
17:56:35 <Jevouse> and win
17:56:38 <Spaceshot_tm2> no, my dad does
17:56:44 <Jevouse> your dad , right
17:56:52 <Spaceshot_tm2> I have a real touch screen laptop, this one
17:56:57 <Spaceshot_tm2> my HP touchsmart TM2
17:57:16 <Jevouse> so how common are will saves generally speaking?
17:57:33 <Spaceshot_tm2> spells that have to do you with your will
17:57:39 <Mekkis_x200> common enough that you don't want to fail them
17:57:43 <Spaceshot_tm2> yea
17:57:48 <Jevouse> i...see
17:57:51 <Mekkis_x200> not common enough that you don't want to put a 7 in your wisdom
17:57:59 <Spaceshot_tm2> any psychic attack generally has a will save in it
17:58:05 <Mekkis_x200> look at Jasim!
17:58:13 <Jevouse> a 7 in wisdom?
17:58:15 <Spaceshot_tm2> depends on your class too
17:58:22 <Jevouse> fighter
17:58:26 <Jevouse> no bonuses to wisdom
17:58:28 <Spaceshot_tm2> 7 in wisdom is ok if your class gets good will save
17:58:31 <Jevouse> erm
17:58:33 <Jevouse> no bonuses to will save
17:58:43 <Spaceshot_tm2> yea, and since magic is a problem to you
17:58:46 <Spaceshot_tm2> will save might be good
17:58:56 <Mekkis_x200> Jasim has shitall will save
17:59:03 <Spaceshot_tm2> also mekkis, if PFS is going to be during the week sparotically
17:59:08 <Spaceshot_tm2> then I may make a charry
17:59:10 <Jevouse> sporadically
17:59:28 <Spaceshot_tm2> look, leave the disexlyic alone
17:59:29 <Spaceshot_tm2> XD
17:59:37 <Spaceshot_tm2> dysexlic*
17:59:40 <Mekkis_x200> Spaceshot_tm2, it is. I might not be running it all the time though
17:59:46 <Jevouse> why doesn't anyone want to join ballig's campaign?
17:59:54 <Spaceshot_tm2> you answered your own question
17:59:55 <Mekkis_x200> and I might not be running it _here_ all the time...
17:59:56 <Spaceshot_tm2> :P
18:00:39 <Jevouse> we need to confine mekkis's consciousness in his computer so it will run PFS all the time
18:00:51 <Jevouse> run it here, anyway
18:00:52 <Spaceshot_tm2> anywho, musical dwarven melee combatant that his dwarven battleaxe is his guitar
18:01:01 <Spaceshot_tm2> what class and rules for the guitar :P
18:01:09 <Mekkis_x200> sorcerer :P
18:01:11 <Jevouse> bard and you have to sell your soul for it
18:01:41 <Spaceshot_tm2> was thinking bard
18:01:47 <Spaceshot_tm2> barb might also work
18:01:55 <Jevouse> a barb/bard
18:02:19 <Jevouse> give each half a level
18:02:27 <Spaceshot_tm2> doesn't work in pf
18:02:28 <Spaceshot_tm2> sadly
18:02:32 <Jevouse> oh well
18:03:01 <Jevouse> AEDT is UTC +11 now?
18:03:28 <Spaceshot_tm2> maybe
18:03:31 <Mekkis_x200> yeah
18:03:34 <Mekkis_x200> unfortunately
18:04:15 <Avatar> AEDT is always UTC+11
18:04:18 <Avatar> AEST is UTC+10
18:04:37 <Jevouse> why hello avatar where did you spring from?
18:04:39 <Mekkis_x200> so yeah, it's 0:00 UTC
18:04:50 <Avatar> this is the internet
18:04:53 <Avatar> springing is normal
18:05:26 <Jevouse> do you have 6 devices like mekkis?
18:07:34 <Mekkis_x200> Spaceshot_tm2, http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/pathfinderSociety/grandLodge/pathfinderSocietyAdelaideSouthAustralia&page=1&source=search#0
18:08:02 <Mekkis_x200> you are a little too late :P
18:08:38 <Spaceshot_tm2> meh
18:08:39 <Mekkis_x200> relevant to Avatar and Brunius_AFK too
18:08:40 <Spaceshot_tm2> not fussed
18:08:41 <Jevouse> nothing is ever truly original
18:09:00 <Spaceshot_tm2> not a fan of the local spam roleplaying shop
18:09:07 <Avatar> 6 devices?
18:09:15 <Mekkis_x200> devices?
18:09:34 <Mekkis_x200> ah machines
18:09:51 <Mekkis_x200> I also have two VPSes; one in Germany and another in the Netherlands
18:10:00 <Ballig> has anyone advertised this channel on the grand lodge yet
18:10:02 <Avatar> I have my computer and my phone
18:10:02 <Mekkis_x200> the German one is IPv6 only
18:10:07 <Mekkis_x200> Ballig, no
18:10:07 <Avatar> what's the grand lodge
18:10:18 <Ballig> did you want to, Mekkis
18:10:22 <Mekkis_x200> at the moment, I'm running it under GUPFS
18:10:26 <Mekkis_x200> perhaps I should
18:10:33 <Mekkis_x200> are you fine with it, Ballig?
18:10:38 <Ballig> yeah
18:10:46 <Avatar> advertise it anywhere
18:10:50 <Ballig> stress the timezone, though
18:10:50 <Jevouse> first commandment in PFS : Play,Play,Play
18:10:56 <Avatar> except on the blizzard forums
18:11:04 <Ballig> so that we don't get people from the other side of the world coming in and then complaining that the games aren't on during a time they can play
18:11:14 <Avatar> unless we get DMs
18:11:17 <Avatar> from other timezones
18:11:26 <Jevouse> yip
18:11:32 <Ballig> for that to work we'd need to get DMs and players from other timezones at the same time
18:11:35 <Mekkis_x200> I'll just force Avatar to get behind the screen from time to time
18:11:43 <Ballig> because if they come in separately, the Dm won't want to run a game with no one able to play, and the players won't play in games they can't attend
18:11:46 <Avatar> Mekkis: does stephen white know about this place
18:11:56 <Avatar> yeah
18:12:03 <Mekkis_x200> I haven't told him straight out, no
18:12:09 <Mekkis_x200> he does know I'm running games
18:12:35 <Avatar> does he know you as mekkis or ken
18:12:51 <Mekkis_> both actually
18:12:56 <Avatar> okay
18:12:58 <Mekkis_> but mainly the latter I'd imagine
18:13:03 <Mekkis_> why
18:13:09 <Mekkis_> are you planning on saying something?
18:13:12 <Avatar> I will tell him
18:13:13 <Ballig> who's stephen white
18:13:24 <Mekkis_> I plan to tell him at Arcanacon
18:13:28 <Avatar> he's the dood from mekkis' link
18:13:34 <Mekkis_> are you going to go to Blackburn beforehand?
18:13:39 <Mekkis_> that'd be fun
18:13:42 <Avatar> no, what's at blackburn
18:13:49 <Brunius_AFK> Hey Avatar, you should hand out leaflets for the channel at arcanacon
18:13:53 Brunius_AFK is now known as Brunius
18:13:56 <Mekkis_x200> http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/events/v5748mkg09wx8
18:13:58 <Avatar> leaflets are so 30 years ago
18:14:17 <Ballig> set up a booth Avatar
18:14:22 <Ballig> that's what you're doing all arcanacon now
18:14:30 <Jevouse> he can DM PFS
18:14:32 <Brunius> Wow
18:14:37 <Ballig> take along a laptop with a wireless connection
18:14:40 <Mekkis_> if you need me to mail you the chronicle sheets so you can use them there, then I will
18:14:41 <Ballig> show them the wonders of online play
18:14:48 <Avatar> and let people jump on
18:14:48 <Brunius> have I really been going past a gaming shop every day without even knowing it?
18:14:48 <Mekkis_> yeah
18:14:51 <Jevouse> with ballig's nifty CA
18:14:57 <Mekkis_> DM LSK on Sunday
18:15:02 <Avatar> we would need a setup where anyone can join a game straight off the bat
18:15:04 <Mekkis_> during a session!
18:15:11 <Avatar> you're in LSK
18:15:15 <Mekkis_> so
18:15:17 <Ballig> have pregen characters
18:15:22 <Mekkis_> I'll play on a phone
18:15:28 <Avatar> are you going to DM it Ballig
18:15:30 <Mekkis_> or on a laptop /w wireless connection
18:15:40 <Ballig> no you will have to DM it from Arcanacon
18:15:41 <Mekkis_> just DM PFS
18:15:50 <Avatar> PFS requires 4+ hours
18:15:57 <Avatar> it's not something you can jump in and out of
18:15:57 <Ballig> yeah
18:16:02 <Ballig> you're doing it all during arcanacon
18:16:08 <Mekkis_> Avatar, my record is 80 minutes
18:16:13 <Ballig> it'll be like an online gaming workshop
18:16:13 <Avatar> online?
18:16:20 <Mekkis_> nope
18:16:21 <Mekkis_> in person
18:16:22 <Ballig> people can watch you do it
18:16:24 <Avatar> what's your online record
18:16:27 Jevouse is now known as Jevouse_away
18:16:30 <Mekkis_> 8 hours
18:16:33 <Avatar> haha
18:16:34 <Mekkis_> I've only done it once
18:16:42 <Mekkis_> I hope to improve on that
18:16:48 <Jevouse_away> no lunch breaks
18:16:51 <Ballig> maybe if we all use skype
18:17:02 <Avatar> this guy holds games weekly
18:17:09 <Mekkis_> I was thinking more "5-minute turns"
18:17:09 <Ballig> I think the latest version of skype allows for webcams to be used in conference calls now
18:17:13 <Ballig> so mekkis can be on cam
18:17:15 <Ballig> pantsless
18:17:23 <Avatar> yeah it does
18:17:26 <Mekkis_> that would require me to have a webcam
18:17:30 <Jevouse_away> shirtless
18:17:31 <Avatar> well go get one
18:17:40 <Mekkis_> no
18:17:42 <Ballig> one of your laptops probably has one inbuilt
18:17:53 <Mekkis_> I need to spend my money on PFS modules
18:18:04 <Ballig> Avatar will buy you one when you're in melbourne
18:18:15 <Mekkis_> Ballig, that's actually a criteria that I have when I get a laptop
18:18:18 <Mekkis_> no webcam
18:18:22 <Ballig> why
18:18:25 <Avatar> no he won't
18:18:26 <Ballig> you seem to actively avoid webcams
18:18:30 <Avatar> ballig will ship one here
18:18:31 <Mekkis_> yeah
18:18:35 <Mekkis_> I don't trust them
18:18:35 <Ballig> why would you do that
18:18:37 <Mekkis_> wow
18:18:40 <Avatar> do you look dodgy
18:18:48 <Mekkis_> I seem to have sniped a motherboard off ebay
18:18:51 <Mekkis_> without meaning to
18:18:53 <Mekkis_> fun
18:19:09 <Avatar> if you look dodgy now is a good time to tell us before we see you in person
18:19:34 <Ballig> why would that matter Avatar
18:19:35 <Mekkis_> I look like a Yakuza member, minus the muscles and tattoos
18:19:45 <Ballig> you're asian?
18:19:46 <Avatar> oh it matters
18:20:05 <Mekkis_> yeah
18:20:56 <Ballig> ken isn't an asian name
18:21:33 <Brunius> Ballig: A lot of asian kids have an asian name, for family, and an english name, for school and stuff
18:21:38 <Brunius> At least round my school
18:21:44 <Mekkis_> Ballig, who said Ken was my name
18:21:56 <Spaceshot_tm2> like tim nuygun
18:21:58 <Avatar> you did
18:22:02 <Mekkis_> it's just my second-level pseudonym
18:22:08 <Ballig> nguyen
18:22:14 <Brunius> Spaceshot: There's a maelstrom games voucher
18:22:17 <Brunius> 17.5% off
18:22:20 <Mekkis_> I noticed
18:22:24 <Mekkis_> off rrp
18:22:29 <Brunius> Hang on a second
18:22:41 <Brunius> 2011-JANUARY
18:23:21 <Brunius> Only thing is I can't use it D:
18:23:52 <Mekkis_> why not?
18:24:09 <Brunius> Don't have a bank account, and my parents are cleaned out of money after Christmas
18:24:21 <Mekkis_> why don't you have an account?
18:25:13 <Mekkis_> oh yay
18:25:14 <Ballig> because he has no money
18:25:53 <Mekkis_> my package went from Sydney, to New Jersey, to Kentucky, to Honolulu, back to Sydney
18:26:06 <Mekkis_> hopefully it'll get to Brisbane this time
18:26:15 <Ballig> now it's going to go the other way
18:26:18 <Ballig> back to europe or africa
18:29:41 <Spaceshot_tm2> really?
18:29:42 <Spaceshot_tm2> nice
18:29:57 <Spaceshot_tm2> how long it for brun?
18:30:17 <Brunius> still the 10th
18:30:25 <Brunius> till the 10th
18:30:56 <Spaceshot_tm2> hmm...
18:31:18 <Spaceshot_tm2> I may need to take a look at what they've got
18:31:32 <Spaceshot_tm2> brunius, this is a long shot, but do you know of EFS?
18:32:05 <Brunius> Uhh, no?
18:32:07 <Mekkis_> I do
18:32:26 <Spaceshot_tm2> good old days
18:32:27 <Mekkis_> it works surprisingly well, for a microsoft product
18:32:33 <Spaceshot_tm2> hehe
18:32:53 <Brunius> Encrypted File System?
18:33:04 <Spaceshot_tm2> anywho, I'm going to be make an EFS imperial guard with daemon hunter ally EFS army
18:33:18 <Mekkis_> yeah
18:33:27 <Brunius> Errrm?
