10:02:37 <Brunius> Sup
10:02:46 <Brunius> Dvorak keyboards are kinda annoying
10:03:35 <Brunius> Actually, it's not so much the fact that it's DVORAK as the fact that the keys are sunk in
10:14:10 <Avatar> can't you use DVORAK on a regular keyboard
10:17:39 <Brunius> What?
10:18:01 <Brunius> It's a DVORAK keyboard, with a QWERTY input config
10:18:12 <Brunius> It was really just that the keys were too low that was bugging me
10:18:18 <Brunius> Got a proper keyboard now.
11:02:50 <Mekkis> you've got a dvorak keyboard?
11:02:52 <Mekkis> a real one?
11:02:56 <Mekkis> wow
11:14:14 <Avatar> should've restarted this newbie guide from scratch when I still had a chance
11:18:35 <Mekkis> I thought you couldn't play today, Avatar
11:24:24 <Avatar> I did mention I could play if you moved the timeslot earlier
11:24:33 <Avatar> for part of it
11:24:38 <Mekkis> oh
11:24:42 <Mekkis> I didn't compute that
11:25:02 <Avatar> you have to change that timeslot man
11:25:06 <Avatar> it's killing us
11:27:19 <Mekkis> morning, afternoon or evening?
11:27:37 <Avatar> morning
11:35:12 <Mekkis> so morning timeslots are killing you?
11:37:19 <Ballig> that's exactly what he's saying
11:37:41 <Avatar> so the 2.30 afternoon timeslot is killing us
11:37:44 <Avatar> change it to morning
11:42:49 <Mekkis> hell... the morning timeslots kill me :(
11:43:00 <Ballig> couldn't you... go to bed earlier
11:43:07 <Mekkis> not on Friday

16:29:09 <Mekkis> what numbers?
16:30:35 <Brunius> Maybe not a wrong number
16:30:41 <Mekkis> ?
16:30:42 <Brunius> Might be one of my classmates trolling
16:30:50 <Mekkis> ah
16:31:14 <Brunius> It's certainly her style
16:31:24 <Mekkis> stalked by a girl

17:50:23 Avatar- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
17:50:35 <Avatar-> :o)
17:54:18 <Ballig> :0)
17:54:25 <Ballig> is your friend putting your computer together
17:54:47 <Avatar-> it's put together
17:54:59 <Avatar-> installing drivers and whatnot
17:55:16 <Ballig> are you taking your old computer to Brunius' place now
17:55:17 <Avatar-> the power supply's fan is rattling now though
17:57:03 <Avatar-> I can't plug the dvd drive in
17:57:09 <Ballig> why not
17:57:20 <Avatar-> pata connector
17:57:41 <Avatar-> motherboard doesn't support it anymore
17:57:57 <Ballig> why isn't it a sata connector
17:59:06 <Mekkis> why do you need a DVD drive?
17:59:16 <Ballig> you don't, really
17:59:21 <Ballig> I went for ages without one
17:59:28 <Ballig> but it can be convenient
17:59:35 <Mekkis> yeah
17:59:42 <Mekkis> my car doesn't play from USB
17:59:58 <Mekkis> that's the only thing I've used my DVD drive for in the last two years
18:00:11 <Ballig> I used it to play games that I bought on DVD ages ago
18:00:15 <Mekkis> two years ago, I installed windows from a DVD
18:01:45 <Ballig> I think I went six months without one because I didn't have enough connectors in my case and wanted to connect a new hard drive
18:01:51 <Ballig> actually, it would've been like over a year I went without the DVD player
18:02:01 <Ballig> I got new connectors but didn't bother re-attaching it
18:02:17 <Ballig> whenever I got something that came with a DVD, the software on the DVD was always downloadable
18:05:02 <Avatar-> I need to reinstall windows 7
18:05:08 <Ballig> why
18:05:17 <Ballig> didn't you just install it
18:05:31 <Avatar-> it's running like garbage even with the new drivers installed
18:05:43 <Ballig> why do you think reinstalling it will be the answer
18:05:46 <Ballig> if it was /just/ installed
18:05:50 <Ballig> what went wrong during the installation?
18:05:57 <Ballig> also: define garbage
18:06:08 <Avatar-> super slow
18:06:16 <Avatar-> it wasn't just installed
18:06:30 <Ballig> did you just transplant the hard drive into a new computer?
18:06:38 <Ballig> and think the OS would continue to work?
18:06:40 <Avatar-> yeah
18:06:42 <Ballig> ...
18:06:46 <Avatar-> ...
18:07:19 <Avatar-> I didn't think I wouldn't be able to plug in my dvd drive to reinstall
18:07:43 <Ballig> that's why you get your computer put together by the place you buy the parts from
18:07:57 <Ballig> then you don't run into the problem of not having the right connector at 7pm on a Saturday
18:08:04 <Avatar-> it's not that simple man
18:08:15 <Ballig> sure it is
18:08:21 <Avatar-> no it's not
18:08:39 <Ballig> just because the place you bought the parts from didn't offer to put it together doesn't mean no place does
18:08:42 <Ballig> you didn't even ask anyone
18:14:54 <Ballig> Avatar-: I suggest you try a "repair" instead of a full new install first

18:37:28 <Ballig> Mekkis: how does DMing a campaign module with PFS characters work?
18:37:38 <Mekkis> ah
18:37:54 <Mekkis> what exactly do you need to know?
18:38:32 <Mekkis> basically, people bring PFS characters of the applicable level, then play them in the sanctioned module
18:38:49 <Mekkis> and you give them the required chronicle sheet when they're finished
18:41:02 <Ballig> so there's one chronicle sheet? where would I get it from? would I have to download the module again now that it's been sanctioned
18:41:06 <Ballig> do they get more than 1xp?
18:41:24 <Mekkis> chronicle sheets are downloaded from the resources page
18:41:32 <Mekkis> they generally give 3xp and 4 pp
18:41:42 <Ballig> isn't that a bad ratio
18:41:56 <Mekkis> not really
18:42:15 <Ballig> wouldn't they have access to 6pp from three campaigns
18:42:28 <Mekkis> if they fully completed all their faction missions
18:42:56 <Ballig> oh, they get the full 4pp and there are no extra missions to complete?
18:47:53 <Mekkis> correct
18:50:22 <Ballig> that's not bad then
18:52:24 <Ballig> oh, you can uptier crypt of the everflame
18:52:26 <Ballig> that's pretty awesome
18:52:40 <Ballig> it has 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9, and 10-11
19:20:45 <Mekkis> sort of
19:20:55 <Mekkis> you either bring a level 1 or level 2 PFS character
19:21:21 <Mekkis> or you level your PFS character down to level 1, 150gp to play the scenario
19:26:29 <Ballig> or play a pregen, yeah
19:26:30 <Ballig> I read that
19:26:37 <Ballig> but get to apply the higher tier to your higher level character
19:26:45 <Mekkis> ja
20:07:37 <Ballig> Avatar's having a few problems it seems
