01:02 <Jevouse> hrm
01:11 <Jevouse> i'd need to take cleric 4/rogue 1 yes
01:13 <Mekkis> but I can work with that
01:49 <Jevouse> i hope your decisions mostly go up
01:56 <Mekkis> oh, they will
02:08 <Mekkis> in Pathfinder, it will at least have 3/4 spellcasting
02:23 <Jevouse> and probably lessened skill requirements
02:34 <Mekkis> -3 to all requirements is a given
03:11 <Mekkis> I never understand why iron will is so common as a requirement
03:47 <Mekkis> hehe... cleric 3 / monk 1 / rogue 1
03:54 <Mekkis> yuck
04:26 <Jevouse> monk 1?
04:35 <Mekkis> yeah
04:38 <Jevouse> where?
04:49 <Mekkis> gives you Exotic Weapon Proficiency
04:54 <Mekkis> core
05:00 <Jevouse> don't need that 
05:26 <Mekkis> Skills: Hide 8 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 8
05:26 <Mekkis>               ranks, Move Silently 8 ranks.
05:27 <Mekkis>                      Feats: Exotic Weapon
05:27 <Mekkis>                    Proficiency (kukri), Iron
05:27 <Mekkis>                      Will.
05:49 <Mekkis> (translated: Skills: Stealth 5 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 5 ranks)
06:03 <Jevouse> you can houserule that joining the order gives me Kukri Proficiency instead of Spiked Chain
06:20 <Mekkis> true
06:21 <Mekkis> true
06:30 <Mekkis> I'll allow that
06:36 <Jevouse> thank you
06:49 <Jevouse> i don't like monk either heh
07:35 <Jevouse> (the ultimate goal is to depose the magocracy of Thay and rule Thay as a theocracy, purifying it of all competing faiths)
08:17 <Mekkis> this reminds me of http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0009.html
09:30 <Jevouse> (how so? its not unreasonable at all)
11:13 <Jevouse> (KOSSUTH DEMANDS THAT ALL BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO PURIFY THEMSELVES AND ATTAIN POWER. SLAVERY IS INIMICAL TO THIS. THEREFORE, THAY MUST BE CLEANSED AND REFORGED.)
11:33 <Mekkis> just Thay?
11:40 <Jevouse> (FOR NOW.)
11:41 <Mekkis> regardlesss sleep calls
11:48 <Jevouse> good night
12:38 marfejokin is now known as fergatron
16:37 <Jevouse> ah marc
17:47 <Jevouse> morning marc
22:46 <fergatron> hiya Jevouse, how are things going?
23:17 <Jevouse> good
23:25 <Jevouse> have you been following sessions?
23:40 <fergatron> I played Pathfinder this weekend at my local tabletop shop. It was pretty cool.
23:55 <fergatron> no, i didn't follow any of the IRC sessions.
25:45 <Jevouse> was it now
25:51 <Jevouse> did you play a PFS characteR?
26:55 <fergatron> huh?
27:22 <Jevouse> a pathfinder society character
27:28 <fergatron> ah, yes.
27:33 <Jevouse> what did you make?
27:54 <fergatron> I got a number, I registered on their site and stuff. I started with a pregenerated character.
28:12 <Jevouse> what pregenerated character?
29:53 <fergatron> sorry i might be messing up terms
29:58 <Jevouse> no
30:02 <Jevouse> i'm asking you what you chose
30:09 <fergatron> oh ha.
30:15 <fergatron> a half-orc ranger
30:38 <fergatron> my faction is osiron (i think I mispelled it)
30:43 <Jevouse> osirion
30:49 <Jevouse> you can play with us
30:51 <fergatron> right!
30:52 <Jevouse> (if you can stay awake)
30:56 <fergatron> ha!
31:02 <Jevouse> we run PFS scenarios too
31:14 <fergatron> what was the schedule again? I need to put it in my calendar.
31:28 <Jevouse> 1500 UTC +11
31:40 <Jevouse> which is...2300 UTC -5
31:51 <Jevouse> on saturday
31:51 <fergatron> oh 11pm, not bad.
32:03 <Jevouse> (it goes for 4 hours)
32:08 <Jevouse> (or more)
32:55 <fergatron> it's every saturday?
33:35 <Jevouse> indeed
33:44 <Jevouse> (it would be friday for you)
33:55 <fergatron> oh cool. It's on my calendar.
34:16 <Jevouse> well not -every- saturday (sometimes we run other stuff on that time)
34:31 <fergatron> gotcha
34:44 <Jevouse> but uh, you feeling brave enough to make your OWN character?
35:47 <fergatron> PFS or D&D 3.5?
36:02 <fergatron> I should really branch out... I tend to make rangers all the time.
36:03 <Jevouse> PFS
36:26 <fergatron> Any particular scenario you chaps playin'?
36:42 <Jevouse> um
36:52 <Jevouse> should be the followup to the previous one we just played i guess
36:58 <Jevouse> can't quite recall the name
37:14 <fergatron> ok, no worries. I still need to read the core book anyway. :D
37:22 <Jevouse> do so
37:26 <Jevouse> both the core books
37:35 <fergatron> what level character can I bring? I level 1 fine or are you guys way up there?
38:16 <Jevouse> no we're all level 1 or 2
38:23 <Jevouse> level 1 is fine
39:30 <fergatron> so would I be able to register my character with you guys too? I'm still trying to wrap my head around this.
39:35 <Jevouse> no its okay
39:41 <Jevouse> we're registered with the pathfinder guys
39:53 <Jevouse> you can play in any scenario with anyone
40:04 <Jevouse> its coordinated through the pathfinder site
40:25 <Jevouse> you just need to tell the DM certain stuff
41:09 <Jevouse> like whether or not you've played that particular scenario before, how many scenarios you've played before, starting gold at beginning of scenario, that sorta thing
42:12 <fergatron> gottcha
42:18 <Jevouse> (you're strictly advised not to play the same scenario twice)
42:34 <fergatron> here's my guy, http://paizo.com/people/Sulphr650
43:45 <Jevouse> right
44:15 <Jevouse> do you have a character sheet?
44:43 <fergatron> kind of. at the time I was playing with my laptop so I got an spreadsheet template from Google Docs.
45:04 <fergatron> but i'm not so savvy with the game yet so I'm going to revert back to the one in the book.
45:10 <Jevouse> well you'll have to convert that to a text template
45:22 <Jevouse> and upload it to the site we use
45:31 <fergatron> ok, do you have a template you can share?
45:33 <Jevouse> after we get someone to make you a site user 
45:44 <fergatron> and what's the site you use?
45:44 <Jevouse> yes i do
45:49 <fergatron> oh ok
45:57 <Jevouse> you came here through dnd.ballig.net right?
46:02 <Jevouse> that's the site
46:25 <fergatron> not sure, I might have. :D
46:40 <fergatron> yes, that site looks familiar
47:54 <Jevouse> moment
48:30 <Jevouse> type /dccallow Jevouse 9999
49:06 <Jevouse> have you done that?
49:26 <fergatron> i must be typing it in wrong.
49:29 <fergatron> i'm getting an error
49:39 <fergatron> DCCALLOW command not understood. For help on DCCALLOW, type /DCCALLOW HELP
50:04 <fergatron> this is what i'm typing "[slash]dccallow jevouse 9999"
50:08 <Jevouse> oh
50:14 <Jevouse> put a + in front of jevouse
50:36 <fergatron> ok, it's done
51:19 <Jevouse> accept
51:56 <Jevouse> there you go
51:58 <fergatron> got it thanks
52:03 <Jevouse> just transcribe it
52:15 <Jevouse> and i'll get a site admin to add you as a site user tomorrow
52:29 <fergatron> cool
53:24 <Jevouse> then you can upload the charsheet, and we'll have you spiffed up in a jiffy in time for saturday
53:36 <Jevouse> although this saturday there isn't anything since its arcanacon
18:34 GlompNinja has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
25:32 <fergatron> You keep saying Saturday (just to make sure we're on the same page), for me this even is on Friday at 11pm EST?
26:06 <Jevouse> yes
26:27 <fergatron> ok cool. As for Arcanacon... do you normally attend?
26:33 <Jevouse> no
26:39 <Jevouse> but the rest are going

18:05 <Ballig> they sorted it out
18:13 <Ballig> man, why the fuck let you order a cab for a specific time if he's going to be 20 minutes late
38:05 <Avatar> is there a way to extract pages out of a PDF to a new PDF file
41:30 <Avatar> nevermind, got it
43:12 <Avatar> is it unreasonable for us to update our own chronicle sheets?
43:19 <Avatar> why does the DM do it
43:29 Avatar- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
50:04 <Mekkis> Avatar, the DM needs to fill in PP and gold and sign
50:21 <Avatar> sign?
50:28 <Mekkis> yeah
50:28 <Avatar> you didn't sign the others did you
50:29 <Mekkis> signature
50:38 <Mekkis> no
50:51 <Mekkis> I'll sign them when you meet me at arcanacon
50:52 <Avatar> well what's with that
50:55 <Avatar> how is ballig going to do it
51:14 <Avatar> PP and gold is no issue, the player could fill that out
51:27 <Mekkis> he was talking about a graphics tablet
53:07 <Avatar> have you got yours yet
53:18 <Mekkis> a graphics tablet?
53:19 <Mekkis> no
53:34 <Mekkis> why would I get one of them?
53:45 <Avatar> no, your chronicle sheet
54:06 <Mekkis> from Balls?
54:07 <Mekkis> nope
54:45 <Mekkis> which is lucky, because Grolschmir has considerably more GP and XP - and PP than I originally thought

48:09 <Avatar-> man I'd change my name if I were you too
48:27 <hatter> yeah, shit kept coming up that i couldn't afford
48:28 <Avatar-> with the nerve to show back up here
48:39 <Avatar-> what's the story
49:10 <hatter> right now i'm housesitting for a friend who's in japan for the next 2 weeks
49:17 <hatter> so i'm back online for now
49:33 <Brunius> For now
49:44 <Brunius> So your neighbours got wise and secured their internet?
49:48 <Avatar-> you couldn't get access to the web anywhere to tell us
50:11 <Avatar-> we aren't done with sqr
50:23 <Brunius> Yeah man
50:38 <Brunius> after Ballig sentenced us to death with that undead spinosaurus
50:47 Mekkis ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
50:49 <Brunius> I want to find out how I die!
50:49 <Avatar-> my pally wants blood
50:49 <hatter> yeah, i remember the logs of that one, it was great
50:51 <Mekkis> doesn't it always?
51:19 <Avatar-> mekkis, hatter is squirrel!
51:30 <Mekkis> wow!
51:32 <Avatar-> he was hiding
51:33 <Mekkis> welcome back!
51:38 <hatter> thanks mekkis
51:40 <Avatar-> right in front of us
51:50 <Avatar-> no not welcome back
52:01 <Mekkis> ?
52:06 <Avatar-> wtf more like it
52:06 <Avatar-> !
52:12 <Mekkis> indeed
52:17 <Mekkis> WTF, squirrel
52:22 <hatter> wtf mate
52:25 <Avatar-> why is nobody else being upset
52:44 <Mekkis> put it this way
52:49 <Avatar-> he vanished
52:56 <Avatar-> you vanisher
53:02 <Mekkis> I won my bet that Squirrel would be back before lucianus
53:20 <hatter> aww, i miss lucy
53:33 <Brunius> Lets all reminisce now
53:40 <Brunius> Back in the day...
53:45 <Mekkis> hatter, when's the next SqR session?
53:48 <Avatar-> ok you have an (weak) excuse
54:09 <Avatar-> he's only here for 2 weeks
54:10 <Mekkis> I finally got my CPU-mounted eagle built
54:13 <Ballig> is hatter squirrel
54:18 <Avatar-> to add insult to injury
54:26 <hatter> mekkis, just before you popped on i'd said i'm only on a friend's internet still
54:26 <Ballig> wait, wait
54:27 <Ballig> I wasn't here
54:27 <Ballig> what happened
54:39 <Ballig> why
54:40 <Mekkis> hatter, I know, I read it
54:44 <Ballig> you have been gone for 6 months
54:57 <Avatar-> vanisher was actually a word in my phone's dictionary
54:58 <hatter> housesitting for 2 weeks so i won't be back on reliably after that
55:25 <Ballig> what happened
55:28 <Ballig> are you homeless now
55:29 <Ballig> like lucianus
55:46 <Avatar-> I can't believe you have been sitting here online all day letting us think you were a newbie
56:05 <hatter> nah, still haven't burned down my apartment
56:08 <GlompNinja> ssssssssssj
56:11 <GlompNinja> I am scared
56:15 <Ballig> then what is this no internet access thing about
56:21 <Ballig> weren't you meant to get it "next week" (read: six months ago)
56:28 <hatter> i was waiting for everyone to get on so i wouldn't have to go through it a dozen times 
56:35 <GlompNinja> my eyes dont dfocus on the screen
56:51 <Avatar-> six months being conservative
56:53 <Avatar-> it was more like seven
57:06 <Brunius> If I'd actually bothered to look at his address, I would have realised it was squirrel
57:11 <Brunius> I usually whois the newbies
57:56 <Avatar-> it was lucky I even mentioned he was a newbie
58:04 <Avatar-> imagine how long we would've waited
58:18 <Avatar-> my guess is 2 weeks
58:20 <Ballig> two weeks, prob
59:43 <Avatar-> it's pretty weird carrying around a paper char sheet
59:57 <Mekkis> heh
00:08 <Avatar-> I mistakenly started filling it in in pen
00:57 <Brunius> niice
01:10 <Brunius> I just printed off all the PFS stuff today
01:21 <Brunius> Up to the skills on the char sheet
01:29 <Ballig> too bad Mekkis and Avatar- don't want chronicle sheets
01:54 <Avatar-> I will have the info to you tonight
02:04 <Avatar-> how are your signing it
02:08 <Avatar-> you
02:16 <Ballig> graphics tablet
02:25 <Brunius> Yay for graphics tablets!
02:27 <Avatar-> can you draw
02:34 <Ballig> I've shown you drawings
02:35 <Brunius> Have you seen his squirrel?
02:38 <Ballig> I even did one of squirrel
02:39 <Brunius> It's awesome
02:41 <Avatar-> no
02:47 <Avatar-> post it
02:55 <Ballig> you've seen it, it was just too long ago for you to remember
02:55 <Brunius> Its on his deviantart
02:58 <Ballig> i.e., more than 3 days ago
03:13 <Brunius> Yeah man, he posted it about 7 months ago
03:25 Jedi_Vader20 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
03:26 <Avatar-> did you mention it was on your deviant art
03:31 <hatter> hell, i remember ballig's squirrel
03:33 <Avatar-> or did brunius just stalk
03:34 <Ballig> I linked to it
03:39 <Ballig> in here
04:36 <Brunius> (And Brunius stalked)
04:50 <Avatar-> ha
04:51 <Avatar-> you stalker
05:50 <Mekkis> hatter, with http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/DevCA_Phone.jpg you have not excuse
06:22 <Brunius> Except not all of us have multi-tasking phones, Mekkis
06:30 <Brunius> not to mention the data charges
06:49 <Mekkis> what, you mean some of us are stupid enough to have Iphones?
07:26 <Brunius> my phones won't multi-task
07:31 <hatter> mekkis, if i could afford that phone i'd just get the damn internet
07:35 <Brunius> I have a Nokia 2690
07:45 <Brunius> phone*
07:48 <Brunius> (singular)
07:59 <Mekkis> hatter, are you unemployable?
08:13 <hatter> i have a job, and it pays rent
08:35 <Mekkis> but not net?
08:46 <hatter> other things come first
09:13 Jedi_Vader20 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
09:30 <Brunius> Should I bring my own dice to arcanacon?
09:35 <Mekkis> yes
09:45 <Mekkis> make sure that they're not weighted
11:39 Avatar- has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
13:02 Avatar- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
13:13 <Mekkis> Brunius, have you dice with more than six faces?
13:21 <Brunius> Yeah
13:26 <Ballig> what if they're weighted
13:28 <Ballig> will anyone know
13:28 <Avatar-> I don't
13:39 <Ballig> do they test them
13:41 <Mekkis> depends how obvious it is
13:45 <Ballig> what kind of integrity process is there
13:51 <Mekkis> I have very easily weightable dices
14:00 <Ballig> like are they just going to roll it 5 times and if it comes up max more than twice they ban you
14:03 <Mekkis> Ballig, hardly any
14:08 <Ballig> or do they have a machine that will roll and record your dice results thousands of times to make sure
16:33 <Spaceshot_tm2> is there any prize involved?
16:53 <Brunius> I don't think so
16:56 <Brunius> at least not for PFS
17:07 <Spaceshot_tm2> well yea for PFS
17:10 <Spaceshot_tm2> if not, who cares?

20:18 <Brunius> nice
20:49 <Spaceshot_tm2> not that long to do either
21:23 <Spaceshot_tm2> got to do min 4 by end of the month
24:03 Avatar- has quit (Quit: go get analysed)
25:03 <Mekkis> Brunius, do you have a printer?
25:23 <Brunius> Yes
25:33 <Brunius> It just didn't have ink until about 3 hours ago
26:06 Ballig ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
26:17 <Mekkis> so you'd be able to print out a character sheet for me and bring it in Saturday Morning?
26:18 <Brunius> How do I determine how much my character can "Lift over head"?
26:25 <Mekkis> if I emailed you Friday night?
26:32 <Brunius> Sure, Mekkis
26:32 <Mekkis> heavy load
26:34 <Brunius> Why?
26:48 <Mekkis> because my character Will change a fair bit
26:51 <Brunius> and lift off ground?
27:12 <Mekkis> heavy load *2 iirc
27:12 <Avatar> I can print out anything you send me before thursday night
27:31 <Brunius> drag or push?
27:41 <Mekkis> Avatar, I'll be sending it Friday night
27:50 <Avatar> why wait till last minute
27:52 <Mekkis> heavy load *5 iirc
28:09 <Mekkis> because I'll have played in three sessions between then
28:46 <Brunius> ah
29:03 <Mekkis> http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/eagle_cpu.png
29:13 GlompNinja ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
29:14 <Mekkis> I think I need a small counterweight on the CPU
29:29 <Mekkis> or perhaps a socket 478 to plug it into to hold it in place
29:37 <Brunius> I dun get it
29:50 <Mekkis> I mounted an eagle on a CPU
30:04 <Ballig> do you want a chronicle sheet Mekkis
30:11 <Mekkis> yes please...
30:20 <Mekkis> unfortunately I need to correct my paperwork
30:29 <Ballig> do you know what chronicle sheet this is for you
30:31 <Mekkis> I think I was 2XP and 4PP behind
31:07 <Avatar> I will probably just buy a horse and a lance
31:29 <Avatar> Mekkis: where are you getting an extra experience point exactly, because I need one
31:39 <Ballig> two extra XP
31:46 <Ballig> in fact, that means he'd be level 3
31:50 <Ballig> after this XP
31:56 <Mekkis> Avatar, turns out that you get GM credit for all scenarios, not just ones you've eaten
31:56 <Avatar> I only need 1
32:06 <Ballig> what is "eating"
32:20 <Mekkis> Avatar, if you want, I'll run Perils of the Pirate Pact now..
32:26 <Avatar> do it
32:30 <Mekkis> should only take an hour, if you do it right
32:39 <Avatar> I can afford 2
32:43 <Avatar> hours
32:46 <Ballig> you know we won't do it right
32:48 <Mekkis> otherwise termed "plotholes of the painless plot"
32:53 <Mekkis> hehe
33:02 <Avatar> I need an extra exp
33:07 <Mekkis> oh wait
33:15 <Jevouse> I heard extra EXP?
33:20 <Avatar> :D
33:29 <Avatar> mekkis is going to run a short scenario
33:33 <Mekkis> you don't have anyone with sleight of hand, or bluff, or diplomacy, or the ability to cast Charm Person
33:33 <Avatar> want to join
33:35 <Avatar> 1 exp
33:37 <Mekkis> sucks to be you
33:39 <Avatar> yes we d
33:41 <Avatar> o
33:42 <Avatar> cireneg
33:45 <Jevouse> Cireneg
33:55 <Avatar> and I have diplomacy
34:06 <Brunius> I haz bluff?
34:15 <Avatar> sounds like we're good to go
34:15 <Jevouse> we get ben to level up to level 2
34:23 <Avatar> yeah me too
34:29 <Avatar> are you on 2xp as well
34:33 <Avatar> brunius
34:34 <Brunius> But I'm leaving
34:36 <Brunius> so bai bai
34:38 <Avatar> so don't leave
34:44 <Avatar> don't you like levelling up
34:47 Brunius is now known as Brunius_AFK
34:53 <Avatar> don't you like levelling up
34:56 <Jevouse> and he's gone
35:01 <Brunius_AFK> Not when I've just filled out the hard copy of my character sheet
35:08 <Avatar> don't lie
35:12 <Avatar> levelling up is the best thing ever
35:26 <Jevouse> imagine killing zoatharis in one blow
35:29 <Avatar> did S711 do his character up
35:37 <Jevouse> S711?
35:40 <Jevouse> he's doing one for EM
35:49 <Jevouse> i mean
35:50 <Jevouse> COTE
35:55 <Avatar> everyone should be doing a pfs one regardless really
35:58 <Jevouse> but Mekkis pulled out of COTE
36:08 <Jevouse> so we're back down to 2
36:17 <Jevouse> maybe we can get the mad hatter to join in
36:21 <Avatar> does fergatron have a character
36:27 <Avatar> squirrel can't play if he's only here for 2 weeks
36:29 <Brunius_AFK> Ok, I'll play PFs
36:29 <Jevouse> he does
36:32 <Avatar> he can play in PFS
36:33 Brunius_AFK is now known as Brunius
36:37 <Avatar> sweeeeet
36:41 <Avatar> I'm ready
36:42 <Jevouse> Fergatron has a character
36:45 <Jevouse> a level 1 ranger
36:47 <Jevouse> oh yes
36:54 <Jevouse> can one of you guys add him as a site user
37:06 <Jevouse> i already gave him the PF text template
38:20 <Avatar> does he have a character name
38:21 <Avatar> for a campaign
38:38 <Jevouse> no
38:48 <Jevouse> he already played in a scenario
38:50 <Mekkis> nope... it doesn't really seem that easy
39:02 <Avatar> you just said it was
39:14 <Jevouse> Who has Charm Person of the unbreakable will ?
39:15 <Mekkis> only if you do it right
39:21 <Mekkis> and knowing you, you won't
39:28 <Brunius> course not
39:31 <Mekkis> Jevouse, Mytiazair did
39:36 <Brunius> Why would we?
40:19 <Jevouse> i can't remember what his character name is Avatar but i know he took a ready made
40:29 <Jevouse> and already played in a scenario
40:55 <Avatar> are you ready mekkis
41:02 <Mekkis> nope
41:06 <Avatar> eta
41:07 <Mekkis> I've got two characters to level
41:12 <Avatar> level them later !
41:19 <Mekkis> 200 hours
41:26 <Avatar> we have 3 people here ready to play
41:36 <Mekkis> unless I get roped into DMing this weekend
41:50 <Avatar> you're being roped into DMing right now
41:52 <Avatar> let's go
42:04 <Jevouse> Mekkis will have played in three sessions between now and friday?
42:11 <Jevouse> that is extra time he could be DMing for us!
42:22 <Mekkis> Jevouse, one on Thursday, two on Friday
42:31 <Jevouse> wow really piling on the exp
42:32 <Mekkis> unless I get roped into playing one of them
42:39 <Mekkis> Avatar, look
42:52 <Mekkis> I know you REALLY don't want Cairo to die before level two
43:15 <Mekkis> there's a way to GUARANTEE that
43:24 <Avatar> how's that
43:29 * Mekkis passes The Screen to Avatar 
43:32 <Avatar> I just really want to be more than level 1 before arcanacon
43:36 <Jevouse> oh
43:38 <Jevouse> Avatar can DM!
43:45 <Jevouse> oh shit i better hide my mount
43:58 <Avatar> what, do you want to be a player
44:02 <Mekkis> sure
44:06 <Avatar> so you can play
44:08 <Avatar> but you can't DM
44:23 <Mekkis> you know just as well as me that DMing is more work than playing
44:32 <Mekkis> especially if you're not A Lazy DM
44:49 <Avatar> I can DM a game, but it'll be dangerous for all of you
44:55 <Mekkis> sure
45:02 <Jevouse> go on do anothero ne
45:02 <Avatar> are the rest of you okay with that
45:04 <Mekkis> I'll play a new character then
45:18 <Mekkis> I'll rename Cireneg and modify a few things
45:21 <Brunius> no
45:25 <Brunius> I don't want avatar to kill me
45:40 <Mekkis> Brunius, you'd rather I did?
45:44 <Avatar> he wants you to kill him mekkis
45:51 <Brunius> Quite, Mekkis
46:01 <Mekkis> hehe
46:17 <Avatar> it wouldn't be any more dangerous than LSK, if that's any comfort
46:23 * Mekkis looks at high death-rate scenarios
46:33 <Avatar> yeah there has been a high death rate in LSK
46:45 <Brunius> because people keep leaving
46:49 <Jevouse> hahahaha
46:53 <Jevouse> kapowpow
46:54 <Avatar> that's true, most of it is because of vanishers
47:01 <Avatar> I won't mention any names
47:06 <Avatar> or animals
47:24 <Jevouse> right
47:30 <Jevouse> let's get on with it Avatar
47:36 <Mekkis> Avatar, I'm more worried about the high amount of XP- and loot drain in LSK
47:38 <Avatar> I think I need to buy a book first
47:46 <Mekkis> do #23
47:52 <Jevouse> #23?
47:56 <Mekkis> yeah
47:56 <Jevouse> what is #23?
48:04 <Mekkis> Tide of Morning
48:07 <Mekkis> or Tide of Mourning
48:10 <Mekkis> one or the other
48:13 <Avatar> have you done it before
48:17 <Mekkis> nope
48:21 <Mekkis> actually...
48:23 <Avatar> why'd you pick that one
48:28 <Jevouse> it sounds good
48:37 <Mekkis> using the Play! Play! Play! rule, I can replay a scenario
48:41 <Mekkis> so sure
48:45 <Mekkis> choose any
48:45 <Avatar> I'd rather you didn't
48:50 <Mekkis> why not?
48:54 <Mekkis> I don't metagame
49:01 <Mekkis> I have to play as a different faction
49:28 <Avatar> tide of mourning isn't on paizo's website
49:48 <Jevouse> it ISN'T?
49:54 <Jevouse> the hroror
50:12 <Avatar> this is such an outrageously dangerous idea
51:02 <Jevouse> go on , tell us you aren't the least bit attracted to danger
51:21 <Avatar> on the contrary
51:25 <Avatar> it's why I'm doing it
52:03 <Avatar> are there PFOS-specific books
52:11 <Avatar> I can't find any
52:29 <Avatar> oh wait here we go
53:04 <Avatar> #23 isn't on there anymore
53:08 <Avatar> the earlier is #29
53:52 <Jevouse> vat is #29
54:28 <Avatar> the first in a two-parter
55:03 <Avatar> have we done voice in the void
55:06 <Jevouse> yes
55:08 <Jevouse> no
55:10 <Jevouse> i haven't
55:11 <Avatar> oh that was the first one
56:22 <Avatar> okay I've got one
56:53 <Brunius> is it going to kill us within the first five minutes?
57:01 <Jevouse> is it going to take long?
57:10 <Avatar> I have no idea
57:22 <Avatar> there's no estimated time
57:26 <Avatar> I just grabbed one
57:41 <Jevouse> Right
57:47 <Jevouse> did you read the reviews before you did?
57:54 <Avatar> yes
58:04 <Ballig> did you make sure it included tiers 1-2
58:09 <Avatar> yes
58:10 <Ballig> or uh, levels 1-2
58:15 <Avatar> 1-2 and 4-5
58:17 <Ballig> are you going to let people use mounts
58:18 <Jevouse> did you make sure we can up tier it
58:24 <Avatar> 1st to 5th level characters
58:30 <Jevouse> nicely done
58:31 <Avatar> what do you mean uptier it
58:39 <Avatar> yeah all normal rules apply here
58:43 <Ballig> you can decide to play the next tier up
58:44 <Avatar> I still get to hate them
58:58 <Avatar> I think people are in enough danger as it is
59:21 <Jevouse> Right
59:22 <Ballig> so the game you guys played on the weekend, you could have done the 3-4 tier and everything would've been harder
59:23 <Ballig> basically you'd be level 1 and 2 characters playing a campaign designed for levels 3 and 4
59:30 <Jevouse> AVAUNT
59:53 <Avatar> yeah but that is crazy talk
00:21 <Jevouse> ave Avatar!
02:18 <Jevouse> soooo you ready yet?
02:39 <Avatar> I am now
02:42 <Avatar> are you lot
03:02 <Avatar> `op
03:02 ChanOP gives channel operator status to Avatar
04:06 <Avatar> pm me your factions to begin with
06:57 <Brunius> How long will this take?
07:37 <Ballig> 7-8 hours
07:39 <Avatar> not 8 hours
07:39 Jevouse is now known as Rawlins
07:40 <Ballig> you'll be done about 3am
07:44 <Ballig> Avatar: How do you know
07:49 <Ballig> every other session has taken that long
07:51 <Avatar> I'll split it if I have to
07:52 <Ballig> why is yours different
07:58 <Ballig> that's still 4 hours right now
07:59 <Avatar> I hate 8 hours more than anyone
08:00 <Ballig> done about midnight
08:15 <Avatar> we won't play it until we're in pain, guaranteed
08:28 Avatar gives voice to Rawlins
08:34 <Rawlins> huphuphup!
08:36 Brunius is now known as Kaleb
08:40 <Kaleb> Alright
08:40 Avatar gives voice to Kaleb
08:50 <Kaleb> Lets get this bloody stupid show on the road
08:52 <Avatar> dccallow me
09:01 <Avatar> wake up, mekkis
09:15 <Kaleb> Done
10:42 <Ballig> you're doing a two-person scenario?
10:48 <Kaleb> Apparently
11:00 <Rawlins> lol
11:14 <Avatar> mekkis needs to wake up
11:19 <Kaleb> Roll up a character, Ballig!
11:25 <Avatar> why don't you play ballig
11:48 <Ballig> because I don't play on worknights
11:55 <Avatar> this is different
12:06 <Avatar> none of us play on worknights
12:08 <Ballig> it's "different" because you all desperately want XP for a convention I'm not attending
12:10 <Ballig> so it's not different for me
12:18 <Avatar> you want xp anyway though
12:23 <Avatar> don't pretend you don't
12:29 <Rawlins> hey Ballig
12:32 <Rawlins> you're not attending?
12:32 <Ballig> not desperately
12:40 <Rawlins> so that means you can run CoTE?
12:44 <Rawlins> because i've got another player
12:46 <Avatar> where did he go
13:04 <Rawlins> there's S711 and Marc and Me i think
13:16 <Avatar> I can't even look up his faction on his sheet because it's not there
13:37 <Kaleb> And he has to change faction anyway
13:48 <Kaleb> because he has played this scenario before
13:59 <Avatar> how do you know he's played it
14:07 <Avatar> I haven't told you anything about it yet
14:10 <Kaleb> because he said so
14:23 <Avatar> this isn't the one he told me to get
14:29 <Avatar> the one he told me to get wasn't there
14:29 <Kaleb> oh
16:09 Ballig has quit (Quit: )
16:16 Ballig ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
17:12 hatter has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
18:20 hatter ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
18:37 <Rawlins> so what do you say Ballig
18:47 <Rawlins> we can make use of the time they're away!
19:04 <Ballig> [7:11:48 PM] <@Avatar> you want xp anyway though
19:05 <Ballig> [7:11:56 PM] <Ballig> not desperately
19:05 <Ballig> [7:15:31 PM] * Disconnected
19:10 <Ballig> i.e., I don't play on work nights
19:16 <Kaleb> squirrel
19:19 <Kaleb> what about you?
19:26 <Kaleb> You said you wanted to play some PFS
19:30 <Avatar> does squirrel have a character rolled up
19:33 <hatter> i could join in, but i can't run CA right now
19:39 <Rawlins> [16:12] <+Rawlins> so that means you can run CoTE?
19:39 <Rawlins> [16:12] <+Rawlins> because i've got another player
19:39 <Rawlins> [16:12] <@Avatar> where did he go
19:39 <Rawlins> [16:13] <+Rawlins> there's S711 and Marc and Me i think
19:52 <Avatar> we can work around that if you don't mind not having CA
20:00 <Avatar> (you, not the others - they'll have it)
20:00 <hatter> i don't mind
20:04 <Rawlins> oh boy
20:07 <Avatar> got a ready character?
20:14 <hatter> yeah
20:19 <Avatar> uploaded?
20:19 marfejokin ([email protected]) has joined #d&d

24:30 <Avatar> you need a second trait
24:44 <Kaleb> I'm gonna need about 1/2 an hour for dinner at some point
24:52 <Avatar> and you need to spend less gold
25:01 <Avatar> Kaleb: that's fine
25:34 <Rawlins> uploaded
25:35 <hatter> i thought i was allowed 150gp
25:43 <Avatar> what does 50+50+75 equal
25:50 <hatter> oh right the bow
25:50 <Rawlins> 175
25:57 <Avatar> plus gear
26:04 <Rawlins> a lot of money
27:36 <Rawlins> Mekkis up and vanished
27:54 <Avatar> if squirrel's ready, we can still play
28:05 <Mekkis> what?
28:23 <Mekkis> I'd better not
28:31 <Mekkis> because I won't be here the whole time
28:50 <Kaleb> I have to go for dinner now, sorry
28:59 <Kaleb> back in ~30min
29:05 <Rawlins> uh Mekkis?
29:10 <Mekkis> yay for dinnering
29:15 <Avatar> what do you mean what you'd better not
29:16 <Mekkis> I'll be doing that soon too
29:28 <Ballig> Mekkis spends 2 hours having dinner every night
29:28 <Avatar> how long is dinner
29:34 <Ballig> 2 hours
31:31 <Rawlins> let's go on without the soiree lover
32:08 <Mekkis> hatter, if you're on opensuse, you should be able to run LaTeX with no problem
32:36 <hatter> i think i'm done now
33:02 <hatter> uploaded
33:25 <Avatar> we need to wait until 8pm to start
33:42 <Avatar> (30 mins)
35:34 <Rawlins> Ballig: did you get that?
35:40 <Avatar> you can change your nicks back until then
35:45 * Avatar removes voice from Kaleb Rawlins
35:47 <Ballig> get what
35:53 Rawlins is now known as Jevouse
35:54 <Jevouse> what i said
36:02 <Ballig> what did you say
36:33 <Jevouse> can you run CotE on saturday?
37:11 <Ballig> if I have three characters who can play and are ready
37:43 <Jevouse> Okay
37:49 <Jevouse> S711 you have a character?
38:04 <Jevouse> Marfejokin are you available then?
38:09 <Ballig> and if there is a separate player playing each
38:25 <Avatar> has marfejokin ever spoken
39:13 <Jevouse> to me yes
39:24 <Avatar> I can give you the big bad summary now as a precursor if you want 30 minutes to dissect it
39:30 <Jevouse> sure
39:31 <Avatar> it's 5 paragraphs
39:32 <Jevouse> i don't need 30 minutes
39:38 <Jevouse> more like 1
39:40 <Jevouse> but do go on
39:49 <Kaleb> ok I'm back
39:54 <Avatar> Hamshanks ignored all pretense of pleasantries as he pounded 
39:54 <Avatar> into the meeting room in the Grand Lodge in Absalom. “Never 
39:54 <Avatar> time to do it right, is there? Gorum see us through this, then.” 
39:54 <Avatar> He grunted loudly and leveled his glare at the entire room. 
39:54 <Avatar> “Ever been to Qadira? Religion is almost a fad down there, 
39:54 <Avatar> with new cults springing up like weeds and getting crushed 
39:54 <Avatar> just as quickly. It has been that way for centuries.
40:05 <Avatar> -
40:06 <Avatar> “But some make a mark—on Qadira or in the Chronicles. Three 
40:07 <Avatar> centuries ago, the archdevil Moloch, preaching surrender to the 
40:07 <Avatar> desert heat, suddenly became the rage. Qadirans walked into 
40:07 <Avatar> the desert just to die just as if the heat was their paradise. The 
40:07 <Avatar> most devout sought out the hidden Citadel of Flame, where a 
40:07 <Avatar> fearsome bull-headed idol of Moloch judged them and sent 
40:07 <Avatar> the worthy to Malebolge, the sixth layer of Hell. No surprise 
40:07 <Avatar> that Sarenrae’s priests launched a mighty crusade to demolish 
40:07 <Avatar> the citadel. Afer two weeks, a great sandstorm swallowed the 
40:07 <Avatar> expedition—and, it seemed, the citadel and its idol. Nothing 
40:07 <Avatar> more was heard from either.
40:09 <Avatar> -
40:18 <Avatar> “Until ten days ago, that is. Sandstorms regularly scour the 
40:18 <Avatar> Qadiran highlands, and this time they emptied an entire 
40:18 <Avatar> valley of dunes. Poking out of that valley, visible only to those 
40:18 <Avatar> soaring above—such as a fying Pathfnder wizard—was the 
40:18 <Avatar> lofy spire of a fortress: the Citadel of Flame, presumably. 
40:20 <Avatar> -
40:30 <Avatar> “Hopefully we are the frst to learn about its reappearance and we need 
40:30 <Avatar> to act fast. The Decemvirate doesn’t expect any trouble, so they’re 
40:30 <Avatar> sending you. But I do expect trouble—who knows what’s infesting 
40:30 <Avatar> that citadel? Get in there fast and fnd that idol—it could be the key to 
40:30 <Avatar> the entire cult. It’s likely statue-sized, maybe as big as me, and should 
40:30 <Avatar> have a bull’s head on it. And for Gorum’s sake be careful.”
40:32 <Avatar> -
40:38 <Avatar> Now, afer a swif voyage to Sedeq and a tiring trek through the 
40:39 <Avatar> endless Qadiran dunes, the sun beats down on a maze of red 
40:39 <Avatar> slickstone, with delicate arches and towering columns called 
40:39 <Avatar> hoodoos dotting the landscape. Somewhere within this expanse 
40:39 <Avatar> lies the Citadel of Flame and within, the idol of Moloch.
40:42 <Avatar> -
40:59 <Jevouse> WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE IN THE DESERT
41:52 <Kaleb> Yeeeaaaah :/
42:01 <Avatar> I'll make the pregen a cleric I guess
42:51 <Jevouse> pregen?
43:00 <Jevouse> me/kaleb/hatter/mekkis
43:09 <Mekkis> hehe
43:09 <Ballig> do you really think you're getting Mekkis
43:11 <Ballig> yo uare delusional
43:13 <Mekkis> you're ALL DEAD!
43:20 <Kaleb> probably
43:36 * Mekkis has previously DMed this
44:00 <Avatar> is it hard
44:19 <Kaleb> Is there a single scenario you haven't DMed?
44:30 <Mekkis> if you play the enemies properly, Avatar, yes
44:42 <Avatar> with any luck I won't, aye
44:55 <hatter> remember, monsters have int scores too
45:02 <Avatar> there's not much of a prelude to this
45:09 <Jevouse> how many nature checks do we have to make to not die
45:20 <Avatar> you can buy whatever shit you want right now
45:24 <Avatar> to prepare
45:24 <Mekkis> fort saves every hour or nonlethal damage
45:35 <Mekkis> scroll of Endure Elements!
45:51 <Mekkis> I'll shut up now
45:54 <hatter> i'll just leave mine as it is
45:58 <Jevouse> scroll of MEKKIS HELP US 
46:04 <Kaleb> Mekkis, NO METAGAMING KK?
46:08 <Avatar> Venture-Captain Dennel Hamshanks will be sending you from Absaloom to retrieve the infamous idol of Moloch from the recently rediscovered Citadel of Flame
46:10 <Kaleb> I'll play as is
46:20 <Avatar> Absalom*
46:39 <Jevouse> hrmmm is there desert clothing
46:46 Jevouse is now known as Rawlins
46:59 <Rawlins> alright guys who has knowledge of where to go
47:11 <hatter> i have knowledge(nature) 
47:14 <hatter> ;p
47:24 <Avatar> you get directions from Dennel
47:27 <Rawlins> let's say, knowledge (geography)
47:34 hatter is now known as Gahiji
47:48 Avatar gives voice to Gahiji Kaleb Rawlins
47:50 <Rawlins> do you have a wayfinder/astrolae/sextant?
47:54 <Avatar> uh, maps
48:10 <Avatar> how do you get rid of numbers and shit on the map
48:30 <Avatar> I could just draw it but I'd rather not
48:56 <Mekkis> Avatar, I'll send you it
48:58 <Kaleb> pdfimages
49:07 <Avatar> cheers
49:19 <Avatar> yeah there are numbers and shit on the map
49:26 <Avatar> I can't just extract it
50:37 <S711> This Sat. right?
50:50 <Avatar> your cleric will be Kyra
51:01 <Ballig> yeah
51:02 <Ballig> there's a reason that you spend a few days doing prep
51:05 <Ballig> including reading the scenario
51:14 <Avatar> we don't have that luxury
51:24 <Ballig> using adobe to extract images from the scenario (because it gives you a copy of the map without any writing on it)
51:28 <Ballig> and then getting it all to line up in CA
51:31 <Rawlins> Yes S711
51:43 <Mekkis> aligning in CA takes about 2 hours
51:58 <Avatar> no way
52:56 <Kaleb> Why don't we just call this off
53:08 <Kaleb> Seems like it's more work than its worth
53:25 <Avatar> if we don't get started in 10 minutes, I'm inclined to agree
53:49 <Rawlins> you're back to drawing it out Avatar
54:01 <Avatar> what
54:42 <Avatar> Gahiji: dccallow me
54:52 <Avatar> you too rawlins
54:57 <Kaleb> He means drawing the map out by hand
55:19 <Avatar> forget that
55:31 <Avatar> seems that rawlins and gahiji don't want prestige points 
56:38 <Rawlins> um
56:48 <Rawlins> done
56:49 <Avatar> doesn't CA read png files
57:44 <Avatar> Ballig
57:55 <Ballig> what
57:56 <Ballig> yes it does
58:22 <Avatar> it doesn't want to load this one
58:46 <Ballig> why aren't you just using imgur.com
58:48 <Kaleb> stick it in gimp and save it as a jpg or something
58:50 <Ballig> instead of DCCing it to people
58:52 S711 has quit (Quit: For England, James?)
58:59 <Avatar> I didn't think of that
59:04 <Avatar> why isn't this map working as a bg image
59:10 <Ballig> and CA definitely reads PNG files
59:18 <Ballig> put it on imgur
59:20 <Ballig> I'll test it here
00:12 <Gahiji>  /dccallow avatar +9999?
00:18 <Avatar> +avatar
00:31 <Gahiji>  /dccallow +avatar 9999
00:50 <Rawlins> yes
04:21 Kaleb is now known as Brunius
05:09 * Rawlins gasps
05:12 <Rawlins> Brunius!
05:16 <Avatar> yeah game off
05:21 <Avatar> unless another 3rd wants to take his place
05:27 <Avatar> I'll keep trying to get this together
05:38 Gahiji is now known as hatter
05:46 <hatter> i'll be around whenever we start
06:00 <Rawlins> ye me too
06:04 <Ballig> I won't be
06:12 <Avatar> it's a big if
06:15 <Avatar> someone else has to want to play
06:17 <Rawlins> billy requires exp
06:21 <Rawlins> you know he does
06:51 <Ballig> sure, but not enough to play mid-week
06:53 <Avatar> pretty much whenever someone says they want to finish off, we all finish off
06:56 <Ballig> I'm going to bed at 10pm lately
07:14 <Rawlins> 10pm!?
07:46 <Ballig> yep
07:46 <Ballig> up at 6.30
07:51 <Rawlins> i see
07:57 <Ballig> compared to getting up at 8 when I used to
10:44 <Rawlins> darn it Ballig
10:57 <Rawlins> you got the HR job which didn't give you late sleepin benefits
11:21 <Ballig> yeah government departments actually open early
12:33 <Rawlins> they dO?
13:00 <Rawlins> when does the enquiry desk open?
13:52 <Rawlins> if it opens before 8.30 am i'll eat myhat
14:22 <Avatar> is there an easy way to work out correct grid settings
14:32 * Avatar removes voice from Brunius hatter Rawlins
14:52 Rawlins is now known as Jevouse
19:51 <Avatar> I got the grid close, but it's still off
19:58 <Avatar> like if you put down counters, it looks like it's in 3D
20:36 <Avatar> do columns and rows have any bearing on box size
21:18 <Ballig> no
21:24 <Ballig> that's just how many columns and rows there are
21:44 <Avatar> mekkis gave me his settings, showed me, it was perfect, I tried the same thing, and they were off
24:25 <Avatar> seems like it needs a +.5
25:20 <Ballig> do you use uh
25:23 <Ballig> override windows style?
25:25 <Ballig> in the options
25:55 <Avatar> yeah
26:40 <Avatar> not sure what override window style means
27:16 <Ballig> means it won't use your windows theme
36:49 <Avatar> hatter: you're actually short 2 points in your point buy
38:27 Jedi_Vader20 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
38:52 <Avatar> and as a ranger you need to pick a specific favoured enemy
39:47 <Jevouse> (pick Devils you know there'll be Devils)
41:43 <Spaceshot_tm2> pick ooze
41:45 <Brunius> Avatar which PFS session are you attending?
41:49 Ballig has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
42:23 <Avatar> the saturday afternoon ones
42:36 <Jevouse> space let's get space to play pFS
42:58 <Avatar> does he have a sheet
43:16 <Avatar> it's almost 9pm now
43:20 <Brunius> I'm in the saturday morning one
43:29 <Avatar> what, why'd you pick the morning
43:31 <Brunius> and how can there be multiple afternoon ones?
43:40 <Avatar> I think there are 4
43:43 <Brunius> Because I can't stay up till 10pm at a convention
43:52 <Avatar> why not, it's a saturday night
44:01 <Avatar> even 14yo's can do that
44:04 <Brunius> ...You know each PFS session takes two arcanacon sessions, right?
44:07 <Spaceshot_tm2> yea
44:12 <Avatar> yeah 
44:23 <Avatar> I am there for one PFS session / two arcanacon sessions
44:25 <Spaceshot_tm2> and Jev, I don't think you realise my dis-like of dnd
44:38 <Avatar> you don't like dnd?
45:03 <Spaceshot_tm2> compared to the alternative pen and paper RPG choices no
45:12 <Brunius> I'm in saturday 9pm and saturday 1pm
45:18 <Spaceshot_tm2> I do like it when playing with people who don't know of/care about the power curve
45:28 <Brunius> 9am, rather
45:56 <Avatar> hang on let me check up for sure
46:17 <Avatar> saturday 4pm and 8pm
46:36 <Brunius> D:
46:40 <Avatar> good one
46:51 <Brunius> I told you that was the session I was signing up for
46:59 <Avatar> did not
47:24 <Brunius> Do you really want me to dig out the logs to prove it?
47:27 <Avatar> are there free spots left
47:32 <Brunius> Should be
47:39 <Avatar> fuck I don't know if I can do a whole day
47:45 <Avatar> early start late finish
50:19 <Brunius> [15:08] <Brunius> I'm gonna be there sat
50:20 <Brunius> [15:08] <Brunius> one session
50:35 <Brunius> [15:08] <Brunius> I'm gonna be there sat
50:35 <Brunius> [15:08] <Brunius> one session
50:40 <Brunius> [15:08] <Mekkis> only one?
50:40 <Brunius> [15:08] <Avatar> you need to do 2
50:41 <Brunius> [15:08] <Brunius> one session of PFS
50:41 <Brunius> [15:09] <Brunius> so two sessions
50:41 <Brunius> [15:09] <Avatar> at arcanacon
50:49 <Brunius> stupid mIRC doesn't like C&P
50:59 <hatter> updated sheet
57:04 <Avatar> Brunius: that doesn't say the morning
57:14 <Avatar> and what date was that
57:19 <Brunius> I dunno
57:27 <Brunius> my logs don't save dates for some reason
57:35 <Avatar> they must if you use mirc
57:39 <Brunius> and I'd said previously that I wasn't gonna do the later session
57:42 <Avatar> it'll be at the top of the day
58:12 <Brunius> Friday Dec 17, I think
58:59 <Avatar> I booked this on 27/12
59:45 <Brunius> Just switch your sessions, man
03:18 <Avatar> maybe you switch yours
04:25 <Brunius> No
04:35 <Brunius> My parents would never agree anyway
05:37 Jedi_Vader20 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
07:27 <Mekkis> ?
08:18 <Brunius> (To switching to the session that goes till, what, 11pm? I'd get home at about 12:30AM, get to sleep about then
08:20 <Brunius> )
08:36 <Avatar> Mekkis: are you doing 4 sessions a day
08:51 <Mekkis> Avatar, getting grid settings requires using something like GIMP - at least that's what I use
09:00 <Avatar> at arcanacon
09:03 <Mekkis> Avatar, I'm doing everything except Friday evening
09:13 <Avatar> don't you get exhausted?
09:18 <Mekkis> nah
09:20 <Mekkis> it's easy
09:31 <Brunius> Do it, Avatar!
09:31 <Mekkis> at other cons it's three sessions a day
09:35 <Mekkis> this is only two
09:37 <Mekkis> easy
09:43 <Avatar> I haven't played in person for like 10 years, so I can't really remember what it's like
09:54 hare ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
09:56 <Avatar> I think we played for like 6 hours and a lot of that was fucking around
10:06 <Brunius> SQUIRREL
10:07 <Mekkis> I just hope that there's somewhere that sells coffee
10:07 <Avatar> and we didn't realise it had been that long
10:08 hatter has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
10:14 <Avatar> I can bring coffee
10:18 <Avatar> on saturday
10:25 <Mekkis> real coffee?
10:28 <Brunius> Just grab a shetload of V/Mother
10:34 <Mekkis> never
10:51 <Brunius> (I have to admit I have never drunk the stuff, and don't intend to)
10:54 <Mekkis> Coffee, chocolate and tea is the only caffeine I have
11:16 <Mekkis> and only the former I actively use as a stimulant
11:23 <Brunius> brb
11:31 * Mekkis sips his herbal tea
12:03 <Mekkis> Avatar, do you want to watch me prepare the maps for the next session I'll run here?
12:07 <Mekkis> so I can explain it?
12:26 <Avatar> how am I going to watch you
12:31 <Mekkis> CA
12:45 <Avatar> I understand putting down blocks
12:53 <Avatar> it's just the grid size I need to work out
13:06 <Mekkis> that's the hard part
13:12 <Mekkis> the part that needs explaining
13:35 <Avatar> you can show me right now if you're willing
13:41 <Mekkis> sure
13:55 <Mekkis> the only difference is that I'll use jpg rather than png
14:00 <Mekkis> so it's faster for you
14:58 <Brunius> Avatar: Switch to sat morning! Do it!
15:13 <Mekkis> Avatar, do ALL sessions
15:17 <Mekkis> it's cheaper that way
15:22 <Avatar> I can't do all sessions
15:33 <Avatar> wait, is it next weekend
15:36 <Avatar> I keep thinking it's this weekend
16:07 <Mekkis> look at it this way: 1 session $18, two sessions $30, three sessions $42, four sessions $54, five sessions $60, six sessions $60, seven sessions $60
16:14 <Mekkis> Avatar, it starts Tomorrow
16:28 <Mekkis> I'll be flying down tomorrow morning
17:49 <Mekkis> So, I start by running pdfimages, and get a directory full of pnm files
18:10 <Mekkis> then I run gwenview to find things that look like maps
18:35 <Mekkis> and open them in gimp
23:03 <Mekkis> then I put it in CA and see how it fits
23:18 <Mekkis> (you'll need to reconnect)
24:43 <Mekkis> the biggest issue is when a map is not square with the edge
25:00 <Mekkis> as I am lazy, my solution is usually cropping
25:05 <Mekkis> so, I corner it
25:17 <Avatar> why is that an issue
25:43 <Avatar> can't you just ignore the half-edges
25:48 <Mekkis> the top left must be on a grid intersection
25:53 <Mekkis> it's a CA limitation
25:54 <Avatar> as long as they don't run on the top or the left sides
25:59 <Mekkis> yep
26:08 <Avatar> maybe that was the problem with my one
26:14 <Avatar> I don't think so though
26:36 <Mekkis> now I get a better impression that the grid was too small
27:06 <Avatar> that's it, you've got it
27:11 <Mekkis> not exactly
27:11 <Avatar> I tried to do that 
27:12 Ballig ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
27:18 <Avatar> that is plenty close enough
27:26 <Avatar> counters will fit in squares neatly
27:39 <Mekkis> now, notice that the grid around N is about 4 pixels off
27:47 <Mekkis> so I use the scale tool to compensate
27:52 Jedi_Vader20 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
28:07 <Mekkis> maintaining aspect ratio, obviously
28:45 <Mekkis> now, in this case, it's too big
28:52 <Mekkis> so I'll scale the whole thing 50%
30:01 <Mekkis> that's an example of incorrect centring
31:10 <Mekkis> (the white is an artifact of jpg compression - either use PNG, make the actual image smaller, fill it in, or ignore
34:13 <Mekkis> and I consider that Good Enough
34:38 <Mekkis> the trick is lining up the upper left
38:45 Ballig has quit (Quit: )
38:47 Ballig ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
42:41 <Mekkis> that one was easy :P
44:00 <Mekkis> yay for playing random MP3s
45:47 Jedi_Vader20 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
45:59 <Brunius> It is this weekend, Avataar
46:06 <Brunius> SWITCH TO SAT MORNING
46:16 <Brunius> Or I'll have to face Mekkis alone D:
47:26 <Mekkis> Brunius, STAY UNTIL SATURDAY EVENING
47:32 <Mekkis> or I'll have to face Avatar alone
47:49 <Avatar> stay until saturday evening brunius
48:21 <Brunius> I can't cough up another 12 bucks
48:23 <Avatar> meeting people online in person is generally better when you do it one at a time anyway
48:50 <Avatar> I'll cover you for 12 bucks
48:54 <Mekkis> Avatar, want to chip in on the "make Brunius stay" fund?
49:00 <Brunius> You'll give me another 12 bucks?
49:02 <Brunius> Awesome
49:04 <Mekkis> sure
49:09 <Avatar> yeah to stay for the afternoon
49:17 <Ballig> as long as you actually spend it on staying for the afternoon
49:21 <Avatar> I'll give you a lift as well if you want it
49:22 <Ballig> and don't go buy some warhammer miniature with it
49:34 <Avatar> yeah you actually need to play 
49:37 <Mekkis> yeah
49:40 <Brunius> Ballig: NO warhammer miniature is less than $12
49:50 Jedi_Vader20 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
49:59 <Mekkis> Brunius, do you play warhammer fantasy?
51:53 <Brunius> Nope
51:55 <Brunius> just 40k
52:08 <Mekkis> do you have any fantasy minis?
52:08 <Brunius> I might branch out into fantasy once I get my guard to 2000pts
52:12 <Brunius> Nope
52:16 <Mekkis> ah
52:42 <Brunius> Why?
52:59 <Mekkis> just wondering if I could score some minis off you :P
53:09 <Brunius> Nope :P
53:38 <Avatar> you're trying to make him trade his way into saturday afternoon with his minis
53:49 <Mekkis> not really
53:50 <Avatar> let me guess, you want to pay $12 for it
54:23 Jedi_Vader20 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
54:32 <Mekkis> nah
54:37 <Mekkis> I'd pay closer to retail
54:41 <Ballig> ha
55:00 <Ballig> $12.25
55:06 <Avatar> filling out this sheet is too weird
55:10 <Avatar> it is weirding me out
55:17 <Avatar> like is this even the same game
55:31 <Mekkis> judging + borrowing decks has made Magic less of a money sink
56:45 <Avatar> I wrote 1d3 under attack bonus
56:52 <Avatar> like I don't know what an attack bonus is
57:00 <Mekkis> lol
57:10 <Mekkis> that's why I like the LaTeX sheet
57:24 <Ballig> an attack bonus is what you use on your attack roll
57:35 <Avatar> yes I don't need you to explain what an attack bonus is thank you
57:51 <Ballig> [9:56:14 PM] <@Avatar> like I don't know what an attack bonus is
58:03 <Avatar> that was the joke
58:08 <Ballig> was it
58:09 <Avatar> the line before that
58:19 <Ballig> yeah that was just proving you didn't know what it was
58:32 <Avatar> that was me realising my error
58:40 <Avatar> or I wouldn't have said it
58:57 <Avatar> I don't know if I am going to keep the morningstar
59:03 <Ballig> I thought you were just admitting you didn't know what an attack b onus was
59:07 <Avatar> even if I don't end up using my horse much, is the lance still amazing
59:11 <Ballig> you realise I go to bed around 10 right
59:24 <Avatar> yeah look I'll just get a combat trained heavy horse and a lance
59:27 <Avatar> make it simple
59:35 <Ballig> hmm
59:44 <Ballig> I don't think it's worth getting a weapon at this point unless you can afford to make it masterwork
59:51 <Ballig> I'm not sure you can afford to get a combat trained heavy horse and a masterwork weapon
00:00 <Avatar> why would I bother masterworking it
00:07 <Avatar> I can do that later
00:08 <Ballig> although lance is only 10gp
00:14 <Avatar> not in the game, granted
00:16 <Ballig> so it's not like you lose heaps
00:16 <Ballig> are you selling anything?
00:24 <Avatar> don't really need to
00:29 <Avatar> maybe my morningstar if I use the lance
00:30 <Ballig> did you do a profession roll?
00:35 <Avatar> I don't have a profession
00:37 <Avatar> I get 2 skill points
00:42 <Ballig> do you have a craft skill
00:59 <Mekkis> BSC
01:04 <Mekkis> Big Stupid Cleric
01:13 <Avatar> no craft, no profession, no perform
01:24 <Avatar> I may be big and stupid
01:26 <Avatar> but at least I look good!
01:45 <Ballig> give me costs for what you're buying
04:08 <Avatar>  jesus christ
04:13 <Avatar> clerics can't use lances without the feat
04:50 <Avatar> simple weapons + deity's weapon only
05:33 <Ballig> still getting a horse?
05:35 <Mekkis> Avatar, neither can druids
05:47 <Avatar> yeah I'll still take the horse for the movement
05:49 <Avatar> if nothing else
06:09 <Ballig> Mekkis has heirloom weapon
06:17 <Ballig> so he automatically gets proficiency with it
06:20 <Ballig> (he's a powergamer, after all)
06:30 <Spaceshot_tm2> how do you have an heirloom weapon at level 5?
06:34 <Avatar> it's a trait
06:41 <Spaceshot_tm2> oh
06:42 <Ballig> it's not level 5
06:44 <Spaceshot_tm2> powergamer
06:48 <Ballig> it's level 2
07:03 <Spaceshot_tm2> mekkis is level 2? thought he was 5 (the roc rider)
07:04 <Avatar> in his defence, powergaming is largely welcomed in PFS
07:18 <Ballig> he's level 2
08:40 <Ballig> Avatar: getting anything else?
08:41 <Ballig> got a horse and a saddle
10:40 <Ballig> anything else?
10:59 <Avatar> maybe I should buy a carriage
11:08 <Avatar> that'll do
11:12 <Avatar> i'm sure I can buy anything else later
11:17 <Ballig> you have like 200gp left
11:17 <Brunius> avatar
11:19 <Avatar> all you really need to think about between games is upgrade money
11:22 <Brunius> can you switch to sunday?
11:29 <Avatar> is it on sunday
11:33 <Avatar> I think you told me you wanted saturday
11:48 <Brunius> Yeah I do
12:13 <Brunius> but my dad says I'll probably be too tired (and after thinking about it, I'm inclined to believe him) after two sessions
12:17 <Mekkis> only one session is on Sunday
12:33 <Brunius> so he wants to switch it to one session saturday and one session sunday
12:33 <Mekkis> Brunius, keep in mind, that a session normally takes around 4 hours
12:37 <Brunius> Yeah
12:56 <Mekkis> so with six hour slots, you've got heaps of time
13:55 <Brunius> Doesn't stop my dad from thinking I'll be tired after 8-10 hours of gaming
14:14 <Avatar> I appreciate his logic
14:19 <Spaceshot_tm2> really? you sure you're not 25+?
14:26 <Brunius> Huh?
14:57 <Spaceshot_tm2> being tired by 8-10hrs of gaming
15:06 <Brunius> I'm 14, bro
15:10 <Brunius> Keep this in mind
15:18 <Spaceshot_tm2> yes, you should have excess energy
15:56 <Brunius> I was never good at sport and stuff
16:01 <Brunius> and Asthma kept me back
16:18 <Brunius> And since when to 14 Y/Os have excess energy?
16:44 <Spaceshot_tm2> because they normally do
16:48 <Jevouse> heh
16:55 <Brunius> Not over in victoria
16:57 <Spaceshot_tm2> thats why schools make you expend energy
17:27 <Brunius> Doing what?
17:40 <Brunius> Copying down diagrams from the whiteboard?
17:49 <Brunius> Filling out mindless worksheets?
17:55 <Brunius> Coding in VB?
18:05 <Brunius> Soldering shit together?
18:24 <Brunius> Tell me which part of that requires energy
18:45 <Mekkis> Brunius, you get to solder?
18:48 <Mekkis> lucky you
18:51 <Brunius> :D
18:55 <Spaceshot_tm2> very at 14
19:02 <Spaceshot_tm2> and same with the coding
19:08 <Spaceshot_tm2> eh, might of just been me
19:10 <Mekkis> true, it is VB
19:11 <Brunius> I was soldering when I was 14
19:12 <Mekkis> ugh
19:23 <Brunius> 13, rather
19:25 <Mekkis> Brunius, so was I, but not at school
19:52 <Brunius> I'm getting away from the point here
19:59 <Brunius> Avatar, can you switch to sunday?
20:26 <Jevouse> so who's doing arcanacon when
20:40 <Mekkis> me, all the time
20:54 <Ballig> Mekkis quit his job so he could go
20:56 <Brunius> Myself, Saturday, possibly sunday
21:29 <Avatar> wasn't the problem with sunday that there was only one session
21:42 <Brunius> Why would that be a problem?
21:50 <Brunius> You're only going one session anyway?
23:38 <Avatar> you need to be in at least 2
23:58 <Mekkis> Ballig, nope... though finding a job in Melbourne would make me quit :P
24:02 <Brunius> nah, theres one PFS session on sunday
24:47 <Brunius> three arcanacon sessions
26:55 <Avatar> is sunday an afternoon session
27:02 <Mekkis> no

44:23 <Mekkis> what?
44:33 <Ballig> er
44:35 <Ballig> of course you can buy it

51:47 <Jevouse> so your stipulations are not set in stone
52:03 <Mekkis> does that affect you?
52:26 <Jevouse> no
52:58 hatter ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
55:47 <Mekkis> Jevouse, next thin you're going to say is that my core rulebook doesn't give me a free limited wish
55:52 <Mekkis> s/thin/thing/
56:56 <Jevouse> it doesn't!#
57:06 <Mekkis> want to bet?
57:17 <Jevouse> sure
57:24 <Brunius> Must...stop...making...cake...
57:49 <Mekkis> I think I'll need Avatar and Brunius to back me up - after they've seen it in person
58:02 <Mekkis> However, Jevouse
58:05 <Mekkis> http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/corerulebook.png
58:11 <Mekkis> here is photographic evidence
58:20 <Spaceshot_tm2> but mekkis, how do we know you haven't already used the limited wish?
58:45 <Mekkis> Spaceshot_tm2, if I had, then it'd have worked, so Jevouse would still have lost the bet
59:02 <Jevouse> huh?
59:11 <Jevouse> how would i know whether you have used it or not
59:20 <Avatar> back you up in what
59:28 <Jevouse> and you met him and you didn't beard him about some of the inconsistencies in PF?
59:48 <Mekkis> the fact that my rulebook does entitle me to a free limited wish
59:58 <Avatar> how are we going to what you look like
00:16 <Brunius> He's asian
00:30 <Brunius> How many asian roleplayers do you know?
00:30 <Jevouse> plenty of asian roleplayers 
00:30 <Jevouse> plenty
00:40 <Mekkis> well... I'll either be playing Mytiazair, or Grolschmir
00:58 <Mekkis> Avatar, why don't I wear something that noone else playing Pathfinder would wear?
01:00 <Brunius> Avatar: He'll be the guy that everyone hates, including the GM
01:08 <Avatar> are you serious
01:10 <Spaceshot_tm2> mekkis, just shout out DEV-CA and they'll know its you
01:14 <Avatar> you're going to wait until we see you play your character
01:24 <Jevouse> no ballig programmed dev-ca
01:31 <Avatar> I mean in your defence I don't know how it works
01:33 <Brunius> Mekkis just modified it
01:47 <Jevouse> just put a name tag on yourself reading Asian Rules Lawyer
01:55 <Spaceshot_tm2> no, I mean cause noone else would say it, nor know of it
02:10 <Mekkis> Avatar, how about I wear an MTG staff T-shirt?
02:45 <Jevouse> where is arcanacon being held again?
03:03 <Mekkis> oh yeah.... because I'm using all of them as pyjamas
03:15 Ballig has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
03:18 <Jevouse> melbourne right?
03:22 <Mekkis> what's the weather like in Melbourne?
03:24 <Avatar> won't lots of people potentially be wearing MTG t-shirts
03:33 <Brunius> drizzly, Mekkis
03:36 <Mekkis> not at the roleplaying tables
03:40 <Brunius> Nah, It's ok at the momeny
03:44 <Brunius> moment*
03:49 <Mekkis> hot?
03:54 <Brunius> Not really
03:59 <Mekkis> cold?
04:00 <Jevouse> expect floods
04:06 <Brunius> Not really
04:11 <Mekkis> Jevouse, I've just lived through one
04:17 <Jevouse> first Queensland, now Victoria
04:24 <Mekkis> not Melbourne
04:26 <Brunius> Hey hang on, it'll be cold, because you're a queenslander
05:22 <Mekkis> Jevouse, just because Singapore is essentially one city doesn't mean Victoria is
05:44 <Jevouse> well, with your luck Mekkis...
07:37 <Brunius> We had a high of 17 and a low of 12 today, Mekkis
07:42 <Mekkis> ok
07:52 <Brunius> At least about 1k from my house, we did
07:59 <Avatar> there's no flooding in melbourne
08:12 <Jevouse> not 'yet'
08:23 <Avatar> there won't be
08:28 <Avatar> melbourne isn't like a normal city
08:33 <Avatar> 4 seasons in a day
08:40 <Brunius> Not at ALL like a normal city
09:01 <Brunius> Don't like melbournes weather? Turn around, count to 10, then look back out the window
09:23 <Jevouse> so we'll be seeing drought AND flood in the same day?
09:33 <Jevouse> that's extremely schizophrenic, even for australia
09:34 <Brunius> I dunno
09:36 <Brunius> Ask Avatar
09:45 <Brunius> He lives like 5min from the city
09:48 <Brunius> I live like an hour
09:53 <Brunius> away
11:02 <Jevouse> is that so
11:11 <Jevouse> i suppose you live in different time zones as well
11:21 <Avatar> not drought to flood
11:22 <Brunius> Nope
11:28 <Brunius> victoria is all one timezone
11:29 <Avatar> but definitely clear sky to pouring rain
11:40 <Avatar> victoria/queensland/nsw is one timezone
11:44 <Avatar> ah, not qld
11:47 <Brunius> Not QLD
11:50 <Jevouse> how about sun shining while rain pouring?
11:51 <Avatar> since they don't have daylight savings
11:57 <Avatar> no, it alterantes
11:59 <Avatar> alternates
12:14 <Jevouse> well we have that in singapore
13:33 <Mekkis> Avatar, you forgot about Tas
13:41 <Mekkis> and Vladivostok
13:53 <Brunius> Yeah, whats with Vladivostok?
14:07 <Jevouse> its cold
14:19 <Avatar> everyone forgets tas, so that's ok
14:28 <Mekkis> it's close to north korea
15:04 <Mekkis> is Russia still at war with Japan?
15:46 <Jevouse> always
16:22 <Mekkis> Russia and Japan Set to Sign Treaty Ending World War II
16:22 <Mekkis> By Justin Ewers | World War II News |  Published: March 12, 2009 at 3:35 pm 
16:48 <Brunius> zomg! http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod900149a
17:11 <Jevouse> darn
17:17 <Jevouse> they fizzled it
17:47 <Brunius> Uh, didn't Germany finish the repayments only 6 months ago?
17:51 <Brunius> Officially ending it?
18:44 <Jevouse> repayments? no my good sir
18:48 <Jevouse> that was world war one
19:21 <Mekkis> Brunius, the western allies didn't charge Germany reparations
19:52 <Brunius> I must have been mis-informed
20:22 <Jevouse> what do they teach kids these days...
20:31 <Mekkis> they were too busy trying to prove that capitalism works better in Germany than the alternative
22:26 <Jevouse> heh
24:52 <Brunius> hmmm
25:12 <Brunius> should I join the North American server group or the European server group?
25:16 <Mekkis> to be fair, they did prove that sufficient foreign aid in conjunction with capitalism works better than communism + stripping the place bare.
25:21 <Mekkis> European, obv
25:33 <Brunius> But I get better ping to NA!
25:38 <Jevouse> no
25:43 <Jevouse> so that Mekkis can whack you 
25:51 <Jevouse> when he's back in Germany
25:56 <Brunius> haha
25:59 <Brunius> NA it is
26:04 <Brunius> done
26:12 <Mekkis> Brunius, you get better ping to localhost
26:17 <Mekkis> why not use them?
26:24 <Brunius> localhost?
26:27 <Mekkis> yeah
26:28 <Mekkis> ::1
26:37 <Jevouse> 127.0.0.1
26:39 <Jevouse> yep
26:39 <Mekkis> or 127.23.42.6
26:41 <Brunius> :/
26:56 <Brunius> Stop trying to direct me back to my own computer
26:58 <Mekkis> try pinging it
27:04 <Mekkis> it's really fast
27:12 <Brunius> Even if there is no place better than 127.0.0.1
27:19 <Mekkis> yes there is
27:20 <Brunius> Because I'm pinging myslef
27:21 <Mekkis> ::1
27:29 <Brunius> I'm not that stupid, Mekkis
27:43 <Mekkis> ::1 is better than 127.0.0.1
28:02 <Mekkis> what's stupid about ::1
28:05 <Mekkis> it's faster to type
31:08 <Spaceshot_tm2> I thought brunius went to bed XD
31:18 <Jevouse> no that was Ballig
31:40 <Mekkis> what feat should Grolschmir take?
32:25 <Jevouse> (the feat of more feats)
33:15 <Mekkis> ?
33:43 <Jevouse> the feat that gives you TWO feats
34:05 <Mekkis> Jevouse, you just want me to powergame, don't you?
34:13 <Brunius> Mekkis: You can have your pick of my 40k bitz box, if you really want to
34:37 <Spaceshot_tm2> he gets your bitz box? not fair
34:41 <Mekkis> Brunius, I might just take you up on that
34:54 <Brunius> Hey, I can hardly mail my bitz box to Adelaide, can I
34:54 <Jevouse> Of course Mekkis, of course
35:04 <Jevouse> what is Mekkis if not a powergamer
35:15 <Brunius> I have about 10 lasgun arms, if you want them
35:17 <Spaceshot_tm2> I thought I told you I was coming to melb in april
35:28 <Brunius> Yeah
35:30 <Mekkis> one who thinks that combat tends to get in the way of roleplaying - especially online
35:41 <Spaceshot_tm2> see
35:43 <Brunius> but I'm not giving him the whole bitz box, you realise that, right?
35:52 <Mekkis> damn it
35:53 <Spaceshot_tm2> true... but he'll take the goodies
35:59 <Spaceshot_tm2> like snipers/plasguns
36:12 <Mekkis> Spaceshot_tm2, you're missing an important bit
36:19 <Spaceshot_tm2> you don't care?
36:26 <Mekkis> I don't play 40K
36:31 <Spaceshot_tm2> close enough
36:35 <Spaceshot_tm2> and why not? it's good
36:43 <Mekkis> I'd be taking stuff I'd find interesting/useful for roleplaying minis
36:45 <Spaceshot_tm2> a money sink (but it isn't like you haven't had them before)
36:47 <Brunius> I'm taking the plasguns, Spaceshot
36:52 <Spaceshot_tm2> bah
36:59 <Brunius> And I've already told you you can have the sniper/s
37:04 <Spaceshot_tm2> true...
37:07 <Mekkis> Spaceshot_tm2, I have MtG for a money sink
37:12 <Spaceshot_tm2> not sure if I need them yet though
37:17 <Spaceshot_tm2> true mekkis
37:17 <Mekkis> if I want to sink more money, I'll buy more roleplaying books
37:21 <Spaceshot_tm2> heh
37:37 <Spaceshot_tm2> going l5r over magic gives you so much spare cash
37:47 <Mekkis> damn it.... looking at druid makes me want to take up to level 4, rather than level 3
37:57 <Mekkis> Spaceshot_tm2, not switching between games helps too
38:04 <Mekkis> I've been playing Magic since 1995
38:04 <Jevouse> level 4! level 4!
38:10 <Mekkis> no
38:12 <Mekkis> level 4
38:18 <Mekkis> not level 24
38:53 <Spaceshot_tm2> I've been playing since planeshit
39:12 <Mekkis> continuously?
39:14 <Brunius> I have some sentinel armour I don't want, if anyone here wants it
39:31 <Spaceshot_tm2> I think there was a minor lul in rav block
39:50 <Spaceshot_tm2> and a constructed lul in timespiral (did play limited though)
40:02 <Jevouse> L
40:03 <Mekkis> Rav/Timespiral was my favourite block
40:10 <Spaceshot_tm2> because you like cheese
40:12 <Spaceshot_tm2> blue cheese
40:17 <Mekkis> Rav/TSP/9e
40:20 <Brunius> Incidentally, I'd like to thank you guys
40:24 <Brunius> All of you
40:31 <Spaceshot_tm2> mmm?
40:39 <Brunius> You pulled me out of a rut I'd fallen into at the start of last year
40:39 <Mekkis> you're welcome
40:48 <Spaceshot_tm2> please go on
40:53 <Brunius> I was depressed, shit like that
41:06 <Spaceshot_tm2> hah
41:08 <Jevouse> i like to hear flattering comments 
41:11 <Spaceshot_tm2> sorry to laugh, but haha
41:14 <Brunius> I've found something I enjoy doing, and you guys have helped facilitate that
41:17 <Brunius> Thank you
41:39 <Jevouse> ooh
42:01 <Jevouse> hrm where were you guys when I was depressed
42:05 <Brunius> Actually, I'd like to retract that comment
42:15 <Brunius> I'd like to thank all of you except Jevouse
42:17 <Brunius> :P
42:24 <Jevouse> Aw!
42:27 <Mekkis> I knew there was going to be an except
42:28 <Spaceshot_tm2> still thanking me, even though I laughed at you?
42:37 <Mekkis> I wasn't sure if my name would be appended to it
42:40 <Brunius> When did you laugh at me
42:48 <Jevouse> i'm going to have to take away your flamers now Brunius
42:49 <Brunius> Mekkis: Neither was I :P
42:59 <Brunius> What flamers?
43:11 <Jevouse> the ones you put on your valk
43:27 <Spaceshot_tm2> [23:10] <Brunius> I was depressed, shit like that
43:27 <Spaceshot_tm2> [23:11] <Spaceshot_tm2> hah
43:27 <Spaceshot_tm2> [23:11] <Jevouse> i like to hear flattering comments 
43:27 <Spaceshot_tm2> [23:11] <Spaceshot_tm2> sorry to laugh, but haha
43:43 <Brunius> I didn't put any flamers on my valk...
44:12 <Spaceshot_tm2> don't think you can
44:32 <Jevouse> the ones on your vet squad then!
44:46 <Brunius> I don't have any on my vet squad...
45:10 <Jevouse> wherever you have stashed them!
45:29 <Spaceshot_tm2> anywho brunius, not to be nosy, but was your depression for any major reason, or just general life sucks?
45:31 <Brunius> In my bitz box?
45:44 <Brunius> Spaceshot: It was mainly the dickheads at my school
45:52 <Brunius> then I changed school, to high school
46:10 <Brunius> no more dickheads, I discovered this channel, I started playing 40k
46:19 <Brunius> Bing!
46:19 <Spaceshot_tm2> aww
46:23 <Spaceshot_tm2> boohoo
46:35 <Jevouse> lol
46:49 <Spaceshot_tm2> I feel like topping that
46:50 <Spaceshot_tm2> I really do
46:52 <Spaceshot_tm2> but cbf
46:58 <Brunius> I was seeing a psychologist, buy I don't think it really worked...
47:11 <Jevouse> psychologists are nutsacks
47:20 <Spaceshot_tm2> well, I'm gonna be going to one soon
47:27 <Spaceshot_tm2> for my speech bullshit
47:37 <Brunius> speech bullshit?
47:44 <Spaceshot_tm2> or at least thats the reason the doc has given for it
47:54 <Spaceshot_tm2> speech impediment, whatever you wish to call it
47:57 <Jevouse> your dysexlia
48:01 <Jevouse> hurhur
48:18 <Brunius> oh, dyslexia
48:20 <Brunius> hurhurhur
48:22 <Spaceshot_tm2> haha no
48:24 <Mekkis> so D&D > psychologist treatment?
48:25 <Spaceshot_tm2> speech, like talky talky
48:33 <Brunius> Mekkis: Quite
48:38 <Spaceshot_tm2> my talky talky likes to fuck up
48:40 <Spaceshot_tm2> alot
48:42 <Brunius> At least for me
48:46 <Spaceshot_tm2> and it fucking pisses me off
48:57 <Mekkis> Brunius, did you tell him/her that?
49:00 <Jevouse> you tried consciously meditating yet
49:09 <Brunius> Nope
49:28 <Brunius> I didn't discover this channel till after the treatment had stopped
49:34 <Mekkis> ok
50:31 <Brunius> Seriously Mekkis, theres not a lot in my bitz box that you could use for RP minis
50:34 <Brunius> maybe the lasguns
50:48 <Brunius> or the flag
50:51 <Brunius> or the backpack
50:54 <Mekkis> Jevouse, what character are you planning on playing in CoTE?
50:56 <Brunius> but not much else, really
51:02 <Brunius> anyway, bed
51:03 <Brunius> night all
51:11 Brunius is now known as Brunius_AFK
51:13 <Spaceshot_tm2> the medic scroll is good
51:14 <Jevouse> what character?
51:20 <Spaceshot_tm2> anywho, have fun
51:24 <Mekkis> because there's something that I'd like to try, if you're up to it
51:30 <Jevouse> a arcane/divine spellcaster of infinite firepower!
52:14 <Mekkis> oh?
52:44 * Mekkis wasn't expecting that response
52:48 <Mekkis> firepower?
54:34 <Jevouse> yes indeed
54:47 <Jevouse> we'll be playing a divinely empowered sorcerer of stonking doom!
55:08 <Mekkis> so damage-dealing spellcaster
55:27 <Jevouse> OF AS MUCH DAMAGE AS POSSIBLE
55:34 <Jevouse> but i always take heed of Mekkis
55:38 <Jevouse> so shoot Mekkis
55:54 <Mekkis> what?
56:11 <Jevouse> Shoot
56:23 <Jevouse> you know, go on? talk? 
56:28 <Mekkis> oh
56:43 <Mekkis> I thought you were talking about doing as much damage as possible by shooting my character
57:07 <Mekkis> I had this idea where one player plays a rogue
57:08 <Jevouse> if i was a evil necrohaemothurge sure
57:32 <Jevouse> i'd shoot you full of blood and use you to fuel my beautiful sorcerous spells 
57:39 <Mekkis> and the other player plays a wizard (or sorcerer) bent on making sure that every stab the rogue makes is a sneak attack
57:50 <Jevouse> Mekkis, are you playing in CoTE?
58:02 <Mekkis> depends on when it starts
58:19 <Jevouse> you want it to start at 8pm
58:31 <Jevouse> which Ballig said was too late, didn't he?
58:31 marfejokin is now known as fergatron
58:38 <Jevouse> Avatar
58:40 <Jevouse> Mekkis
58:49 <Jevouse> Have you created a user account for marc here
58:58 <fergatron> morning Jevouse, Avatar, et al.
58:58 <Mekkis> I don't have the authority
59:01 <Mekkis> it's not my server
59:09 <Jevouse> how come Avatar can do it
59:12 <fergatron> Avatar PM'd me the password
59:15 <Jevouse> oh he did?
59:17 <Jevouse> nicely done
59:19 <Mekkis> because Ballig loves Avatar 
59:34 <Jevouse> when you've finished transcribing your sheet you can upload it
59:43 <Jevouse> what's your character name?
00:16 <Jevouse> i think he needs to create your character too
00:50 <fergatron> Jevouse i don't have one yet. I'll try and create one tonight.
00:57 <fergatron> or tomorrow.. :D
01:04 <Jevouse> no
01:05 <Jevouse> i mean
01:10 <Jevouse> you can reuse your pregenerated one
01:22 <fergatron> Avatar didn't give me a username? I wonder if he used my IRC nick.
01:29 <Jevouse> yes he did
01:29 <fergatron> ah!
01:36 <fergatron> then my character name is Sulphr.
01:50 <Jevouse> make a note of that Avatar
01:56 <Avatar> for what campaign
02:02 <Jevouse> PFS
02:04 <fergatron> yup, he used my irc nick. I'm logged into the site.
02:20 <Avatar> added
02:23 <Avatar> now you can upload a sheet
03:28 <Mekkis> Jevouse, I tried that with Mrivan and Lupton
03:40 <Jevouse> dibs on the rogue
03:41 <Mekkis> unfortunately, Proquar left
03:56 <Mekkis> sure
04:06 <Avatar> what did you try
04:14 <Jevouse> -every- attack is a sneak attack
04:23 <Jevouse> sounds very reasonable to me
04:24 <Mekkis> <Mekkis> I had this idea where one player plays a rogue
04:24 <Mekkis> <Mekkis> and the other player plays a wizard (or sorcerer) bent on making sure that every stab the rogue makes is a sneak attack
04:34 <Jevouse> and if i dual wield
04:38 <Jevouse> that's TWO sneak attacks, right?
05:05 <Jevouse> then if i make myself a beast and do a full attack with sneak attack
05:23 <Jevouse> and let's say i have claws and bite
05:26 <fergatron> what's "Combat Assitant"? I see it under the downloads section. I can't download it now cause I'm at work.
05:37 <Jevouse> its program we use to facilitate battle marc
05:50 <Jevouse> just get it when you're at home
06:03 <fergatron> Jevouse... wow. I really should have read the page before posting my question. :D
06:10 <Jevouse> hahaha
06:19 <Jevouse> um Mekkis
06:22 <Jevouse> not to forget pounce
06:28 <fergatron> all I saw were blue links and I'm asking silly questions!
07:10 <fergatron> does anyone play using a different OS? Like Linux? Or is everyone Windows/Mac?
07:10 <Jevouse> and since beasts all have proficiency with their primary natural weapons
07:18 <Jevouse> Mekkis uses Linux
07:32 <Jevouse> Squirrel too i believe
08:11 <Mekkis> fergatron, I use http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/DevCA_Phone.jpg
09:56 <fergatron> Mekkis very interesting. I've got an Android phone.. can it work on that?
10:05 <Mekkis> not as easily
10:13 <Mekkis> Symbian and Maego is easy
10:18 <fergatron> i see.
10:47 <fergatron> so do you guys pick a campaign or do I?
11:23 <Mekkis> the DM creates the campaign
11:25 <hatter> jevouse, you should look at doing a rogue based on medusa's wrath
11:41 <Mekkis> you ask the DM whether they'll let you in
13:33 <fergatron> so are you guys Ballig Web Development?
13:52 <Jevouse> no that would be Ballig himself
15:00 <fergatron> I'm trying to figure out if you're a customer of Ballig then.. since you've got a subdomain off the ballig domain.
15:16 <Jevouse> no Mekkis has his own server
15:21 <Jevouse> for like $7 a month
15:27 <Jevouse> he conned his isp really
15:31 <Jevouse> unlimited bandwidth
16:33 <fergatron> gottcha
17:28 <Mekkis> Jevouse, I pay more than that
17:34 <Mekkis> and it's got nothing to do with the ISP
17:45 <Jevouse> how much more Mekkis
17:47 <Jevouse> $*
17:49 <Jevouse> $8?
17:52 <Jevouse> still a bargain
18:40 <fergatron> with ALIGNMENT, can I be lawful/neutral. I hear people using 2 values whenever talking about alignment. I normally don't hear just "lawful" or "neutral".
18:44 <Mekkis> €30 a quarter
18:54 <Mekkis> yep
18:56 <Jevouse> $30 a quarter?
19:00 <Jevouse> hahahahha
19:08 <Jevouse> wow that's $3 more /month
21:29 <Mekkis> €30
21:34 <Mekkis> please
21:36 <Mekkis> not $
22:15 <Jevouse> its not transcribing well
23:08 <Jevouse> pounds? euros?
23:13 <Jevouse> Australian dollar sign?
23:16 <Mekkis> euros
23:27 <Mekkis> compose + =, e
23:56 <Jevouse> don't have it 
24:44 <Jevouse> medusa's wrath, mekkis, where do i see this...
24:52 <fergatron> interesting... I'm converting the PDF of the core manual into TXT -- so I can read it at work without getting in trouble. Let's see if the conversion is any good.
24:53 <Mekkis> in core
25:56 <Jevouse> ...i'd have to be a monk/druid/rogue
26:30 Sachiru ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
26:48 <Mekkis> Jevouse, Noone knows how those interact
27:51 <Jevouse> but look scorpion style, improved unarmed strike?
28:15 <Mekkis> Jevouse, want me to be honest with you on this?
28:30 <Jevouse> honesty is always good
28:47 <Mekkis> that's something you take if you're rolling your stats and you roll really well
29:20 <Jevouse> yes, but you're asking me to take medusa's wrath
29:28 <Mekkis> ?
29:38 <Mekkis> never said that
29:58 <Jevouse> oh it was HATTER
30:17 <Jevouse> no no i have a better idea...oh yes...oh this will be good
30:48 <Spaceshot_tm2> ranger rogue?
31:12 <Mekkis> rogue 5 / assassin 1 / red mantis assassin 1 / master spy 1
31:14 <hatter> ha
31:14 <Jevouse> critical focus dual wielding rogue iwth as much sneak attack as humanly possible
31:45 <Mekkis> /whatever other prestige classes they release that has sneak attack 1d6 at first level
32:55 <Jevouse> arcane trickster
34:13 <Jevouse> is there any way to increase sneak attack die?
37:23 <Spaceshot_tm2> this isn't 4th ed now
37:24 <Spaceshot_tm2> XD
37:57 <Mekkis> Jevouse, it's not that important
38:06 <Jevouse> well just in case space
38:22 <Jevouse> how does charging sneak attack work anyway
40:10 <Spaceshot_tm2> anywho, going now
44:12 Spaceshot_tm2 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
47:01 <Jevouse> i need to be evil to take assassin
47:12 <Mekkis> so?
47:32 <Mekkis> please, don't take my previous statement seriously
48:42 <Jevouse> you asked me to make a rogue which has max sneak attack
49:10 <Mekkis> it does not mean you need to do that
50:27 <Jevouse> but its a really good way of taking more sneak attack
50:42 <Mekkis> prehaps
51:09 <Jevouse> since normal rogues only get more every 2 levels
