01:13:05 <Steven> hello anyone that might be online

01:20:00 <Brunius> !rng air ground
01:20:01 <diebot> Brunius, ground
01:30:22 <Avatar> what's that!
01:57:58 tashphones ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
02:15:33 <MekkisScreen> I'd suggest getting a good T-Square
02:15:44 <Brunius> Perhaps I should have been clearer; What's good for magic drafting?
02:16:10 <MekkisScreen> if you're drafting any recent sets, forcing UW seems to always work
02:16:23 <Brunius> Yay UW
02:16:31 <Brunius> What sets would you suggest?
02:16:53 <MekkisScreen> Ice age, alliances, coldsnap
02:16:57 <MekkisScreen> good times
02:17:41 <Brunius> Since I'm a high school student, that's slightly out of the question
02:17:58 <Brunius> What do you think is best in standard at the moment?
02:17:59 <MekkisScreen> I would suggest either triple RTR or triple AVR
02:18:08 <MekkisScreen> probably triple RTR
02:18:30 <MekkisScreen> (they're also both most likely to pay for themselves)
02:18:42 <MekkisScreen> and the "draft UW" policy works with both of them
02:20:26 <MekkisScreen> I think the $Return is slightly higher on RTR, but I haven't crunched the numbers

03:11:40 <tashphones> Im avoiding my house. No air con.
03:25:46 <Avatar> sup
03:26:02 <Avatar> I might be down for a game with enough players
03:28:29 <Brunius> Avatar: It was going to be how the rescue force for a convoy arrived, but it ended up that I didn't want to screw around with ACE towing and just got it all set up with an airlift intead
03:33:09 <Avatar> what is that
03:41:40 <Brunius> I'm making a mission for ArmA

05:42:49 <Mekkis_x200> boris, do you play Pathfinder?
05:44:06 <boris> nop
05:44:17 <Mekkis_x200> interested?
05:44:26 <boris> dunno

06:01:07 <Mekkis_x200> Avatar, Ballig are you around?
06:01:44 <Sutekh> Hola
06:02:53 <boris> 。◕‿◕。
06:05:36 <Avatar> aloha
06:08:57 <Brunius> manual or auto?
06:09:19 <Mekkis_x200> you're getting a licence, right?
06:10:07 <Sutekh> Was having trouble with the mibbit software so decided to fire up my xchat
06:10:47 <Brunius> good old xchat
06:11:03 <Mekkis> aloh!
06:11:09 <Sutekh> well Ychat it says
06:11:11 * Sutekh shrugs
06:11:47 <Brunius> Yeah not sure why it says Ychat
06:12:01 <Brunius> I've been trying to figure it out
06:12:04 <Sutekh> found I even had a copy of mirc on my computer
06:12:14 <Sutekh> cept I dont remember putting it on
06:16:38 <Mekkis> because xchat for windows, iirc, costs money
06:16:54 <Brunius> There's a version that doesn't.
06:16:57 <Mekkis> which is why if you're forced to use windows, you run linux in a virtual machine and run xchat on it
06:17:15 <Brunius> Seems like a lot of work when you can just run xchat 2
06:20:10 <Steven> so how is everyones friday?
06:20:25 <Brunius> Oh, that's right, it's friday.
06:22:23 <Avatar> fucking AMAZING
06:22:51 <Brunius> learners permit
06:22:57 <Steven> kick ass
06:23:01 <Brunius> the plan is manual
06:23:23 <Mekkis_x200> go for it!
06:25:23 <Sutekh> heh
06:25:34 <Sutekh> Gaming tomorrow so friday is good
06:26:04 <Steven> cool
06:26:17 <Steven> we are having a prep meeting today
06:26:28 <Steven> in like 15hrs for this weekend
06:26:42 <Steven> also, waking up in the middle of the night sucks... i wanted to sleep all the way through
06:32:37 <Sutekh> oh thats right. its night where you are
06:32:45 <Sutekh> still kinda light outside here
06:32:55 <Sutekh> through all the dark rain clouds that is :)
06:33:45 <Sutekh> Fire up Baldurs gate before... I couldnt work out Thaco!.. damn I felt bad :(
06:33:51 <Sutekh> But then it all came flooding back
06:34:31 <Brunius> From what I've heard of THACO it's complicated...
06:34:38 <Brunius> Or moreso than what we have at the moment
06:35:41 <Sutekh> you think what we have now is complicated?
06:35:42 * Sutekh chuckles
06:35:48 <Sutekh> Man... I started with Rolemaster
06:35:51 <Sutekh> You want hard you do that
06:36:02 <Sutekh> What we have now is... 6 year old math
06:37:13 <Sutekh> or rather grade 3-4 math
06:37:31 <Sutekh> Its slowly progressed down since AD&D
06:38:02 <Sutekh> Which required one to calculate what happens to a negative number when a negative number is applied to it
06:38:07 <Sutekh> 3.5 has no such issues.
06:38:30 <Sutekh> 4e... well 4e slimmed down skills, brought in some multiplication via the [w] system
06:38:39 <Sutekh> but its essentially pretty simple math
06:39:04 <Sutekh> I remember making Champions characters using the Hero system... point buy can get messy :)
06:40:23 <Sutekh> Sadly i havnt had a chance to look at 5e yet
06:40:30 <Sutekh> hopefully the math is good
06:56:04 <Mekkis> how should I paint my gate?
06:59:13 <Mekkis> any guidance to get a glowing effect?
07:02:44 <Steven> math is always good?
07:07:25 <Steven> i think imma go heat up some chicken enchilladas
07:07:32 <Steven> oh mans.... gonna be tasty tasty
07:08:00 <Avatar> pathfinder > d&d
07:08:01 <Avatar> 4eva
07:09:13 <Steven> Team Pathfinder!
07:21:11 <Sutekh> lol
07:21:24 <Sutekh> Ive been gaming too long to declare any system the best
07:21:28 <Sutekh> too long
07:21:29 <Sutekh> sometimes
07:21:56 <Avatar> I've been gaming too long to declare pathfinder the best
07:22:57 <Sutekh> Id say for pure giggles, the original Paranoia is up near the top of my list
07:22:59 <Sutekh> but I dont really have a 'fav' system
07:28:26 <Steven> pathfinder isnt the best
07:28:38 <Steven> however in my opinion its strictly better than d&d
07:42:03 <Sutekh> which D&D?
07:42:39 <Avatar> any
07:42:48 <Avatar> pathfinder is the best
07:42:52 <Sutekh> i have a lot of respect for Pathfinder. Sadly that respect hit an iceberg and sank earlier in the week when I heard about the latest kickstarter (and geez louise Im fed up to the hells with kickstarters) for a MMO based on Pathfinder
07:43:18 <Avatar> what's wrong with that
07:43:25 <Avatar> america is going overboard with kickstarters
07:43:41 <Sutekh> What.. is kickstarter the cool thing for 2012? Must we have kickstarters to sent timmy to school or to buy a new donkey for a starving child in Nigeria?
07:44:00 <Sutekh> Id contribute to a kickstarter to take down the kickstarter website
07:44:01 <Sutekh> possibly
07:45:12 <Avatar> it's okay
07:45:15 <Avatar> it's not exactly harmful
07:45:18 <Sutekh> Avatar: Do you mean whats wrong with a Pathfinder mmo. Whats wrong with a new fantasy mmo where people can play Dwarves and Elves and go on raids and kill things for loot and treasure . Then go adventure in dungeons in brightly colored costumes that look like Vanilla Ice and Barney the Dinosaur made love?
07:45:34 <Avatar> do you just hate MMOs
07:45:58 <Sutekh> I dont know.I thought I did. I guess I just hate grind.
07:46:08 <Sutekh> But I do occasionally play Secret World
07:46:31 <Sutekh> I just hate the idea that Pathfinder thinks its a good market to get into.
07:46:43 <Avatar> any market is a good market
07:46:54 <Avatar> if it makes $$
07:46:55 <Sutekh> or rather that Paizo thinks its a good idea.
07:48:33 <Steven> if it costs them 3million to make the game, and it nets them 4million dollars then it was a good market to get into
07:49:25 <Steven> so long as the quality of their products dont decline i see no problem with them experimenting with other revenue streams
07:49:30 <Sutekh> This is what will happen. Pathfinder mmo will launch. THe patcher will crash, because all mmo new games come with patchers that crash. There will be bizarre non sensical non fantasy names like Busty22killer whos an Elven Mage. For the first month huge crowds. Then in month 3 , there is a 60-70 percent drop in people playing causing servers to be downsized. Then after a while they will say 'Hey look, you bougght a lifetime membership so you dont need t
07:49:31 <Sutekh> o pay to play anymore but you know... we are going to make it free to play for anyone now (because we want the people to come back!)
07:49:49 <Sutekh> Which makes the people that paid for a lifetime of not paying again sad
07:50:02 <Sutekh> Even if they are now classed as 'preferred players'
07:51:34 <Sutekh> but hey, it probably wont go down like that
07:52:15 <Sutekh> As long as Paizo keep producing great flipmats I want to keep buying from them :)
07:52:26 <Steven> even if it does go down like that, you bought a game... ive gone down to the store and bought games and brought them home and thought well fuck
07:52:48 <Steven> this game is totaly not how i thought it was going to be... 60 bucks down the drain
07:53:36 <Steven> you are paying for a game that you think will be good, its not a for sure thing
07:53:57 Steven ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
07:54:10 <Steven> what up yo
07:54:13 <Sutekh> oh well good luck to paizo
07:54:21 <Steven> good luck indeed
07:54:38 <Sutekh> But when the boat sinks, Ill be the first one to say 'I told you so you D66b f---kers!'
07:54:39 <Sutekh> :)
07:54:55 <Sutekh> I assume you have a non swearing policy here
07:55:26 <Steven> no, we dont, fuck shit damn cock cunt bollocks... um....
07:55:49 <Sutekh> lol
07:55:50 <Sutekh> okay
07:55:54 <Steven> whore mongering cock grubbing sphincter licker....
07:55:58 <Sutekh> Well ill keep that in mind then
07:56:08 <Sutekh> Im not much of a swearer though...
07:58:11 <Steven> but you can tell me so all you want, ill still play it if it will keep me entertained even a little bit between when im doing something else... which is the goal of any video game isnt it?
08:01:23 <Sutekh> I dont know. I like a good story in my game
08:01:39 <Sutekh> My fave game over the past couple of years has to be the Deus Ex: Human revolution one
08:01:48 <Sutekh> It was a great game AND a good story
08:02:14 <Steven> meh cyberpunk...
08:02:20 <Sutekh> Perhaps thats why mmos dont do it for me. I gotta share the story with some putz who wants to IDLE THERE AND FREAKIN DANCE
08:02:24 <Sutekh> I mean .. wtf?
08:02:45 <Sutekh> oh yeah I love Science fiction
08:03:09 <Sutekh> But I need a story
08:03:18 <Steven> um.... read a book then...
08:03:21 <Avatar> run a star wars campaign
08:03:26 <Sutekh> heh
08:03:43 <Sutekh> I do read books, but I like being involved in an rpg
08:03:45 <Sutekh> Its my curse :)
08:03:59 <Sutekh> Im currently running a 3.5 FR game
08:04:05 <Sutekh> Well one session in mind you
08:04:06 <Steven> yeah you could run a sw camp
08:04:08 <Sutekh> But so far so good
08:04:39 <Sutekh> Im also in a Vampire: TM game. im afraid Im just not emo enough for it though :)
08:04:51 <Sutekh> and well of course Pathfinder Society
08:05:48 <Steven> yeah i played the video game of Vampire then tried the p&p and i was like... god i dont have a rape fantasy i'll never fit in with this group

16:15:33 <Avatar> what's a spellknife
16:19:01 <MincedSushi> A general term for a sneaky/casty person
16:19:37 <Brunius> !rng air ground
16:19:38 <diebot> Brunius, ground
16:19:45 <MincedSushi> I'm thinking magus is my best bet but they lack a lot of the kind of spells I would want I think
16:20:20 <MincedSushi> And going rogue/sorc is tough stuff but works too
16:20:38 <MincedSushi> 2rogue for every one sorc
16:21:50 <MincedSushi> Either way I cant think of a way that works well. D:
16:29:07 <N2H4> I think sorc/rogue sounds like it'd go better than other options.
16:29:58 <Avatar> what's that!
16:39:05 <MincedSushi> Well I was mulling over just taking vivesectist alchmist
16:39:52 <N2H4> Hm. Not familiar enough with it to have a say.
16:41:50 <MincedSushi> Its alchemist who gains sneak attack instead of bombs
16:42:29 <MincedSushi> Gameplay will be the same but it doesnt quite match the story I had in mind for the char
16:42:59 <N2H4> archaeologist bard?
16:43:10 <N2H4> they get some arcane spells and sneak attack, right?
16:54:34 <Steven> what up yo

17:45:49 <MincedSushi> What does master spy gift me with?
17:46:04 <Mekkis> 1d6 sneak attack
17:46:48 <Mekkis> (so you meet Trickster's prereqs)
17:49:21 <MincedSushi> Hm...

18:32:45 <Avatar> what is that
18:41:16 <Brunius> I'm making a mission for ArmA
19:16:01 <MekkisScreen> I think you need more
19:17:06 <MekkisScreen> sorry, MincedSushi, wizard 6
19:17:21 <MekkisScreen> because you need 7 ranks in a skill to take Master Spy
19:17:34 <MekkisScreen> you COULD go wiz 3 / rogue 3
19:17:42 <MekkisScreen> but then you're one CL behind
19:17:52 <MekkisScreen> and you DON'T want to be one CL behind
19:17:57 <MincedSushi> I dont need above 3rd level spells
19:18:16 <MincedSushi> Its something that is really just there
19:18:32 <MincedSushi> Hence why I was going to go sorc
19:19:50 <MekkisScreen> what's your reasoning behind THAT?
19:21:39 <MincedSushi> Character story and the things I want from casting dwindle dramtically afterward
19:28:34 <MincedSushi> Yea arcane trickster is how I'll do it. That was what I was forgetting about
19:29:02 <MincedSushi> Going 3 rogue/4wiz/arcane trickster

19:52:21 <MekkisScreen> have you asked your GM how he handles stealth?
19:53:00 <MincedSushi> Considering I've known him for 8 years, no :P
19:53:33 <MekkisScreen> do you know how he handles it?
19:53:41 <MekkisScreen> because RAW it doesn't work
19:54:15 <MincedSushi> I already know how he handles it. He is keenly aware of all the lighting modifiers and we talk about nooks and hiding spots because hiding in plain sight is just not possible in most cases
19:54:46 <MincedSushi> What's wrong with raw in your oppinion?
19:57:45 <MincedSushi> Because I haven't encountered to many issues with it. Other than practically needing skill focus and other gear
20:03:18 <tashphones> Hay Mekkis!
20:18:16 <MekkisScreen> because you can't hide in a "hiding spot"
20:23:52 <MincedSushi> ?? What's this now?
20:37:10 <MincedSushi> Stupid phone -_-

21:01:20 <Sutekh> Hola
21:05:12 <Avatar> aloha
21:09:44 <Sutekh> Was having trouble with the mibbit software so decided to fire up my xchat
21:10:23 <Brunius> good old xchat
21:10:39 <Mekkis> aloh!
21:10:45 <Sutekh> well Ychat it says
21:10:48 * Sutekh shrugs
21:11:23 <Brunius> Yeah not sure why it says Ychat
21:11:37 <Brunius> I've been trying to figure it out
21:11:41 <Sutekh> found I even had a copy of mirc on my computer
21:11:50 <Sutekh> cept I dont remember putting it on
21:16:14 <Mekkis> because xchat for windows, iirc, costs money
21:16:30 <Brunius> There's a version that doesn't.
21:16:33 <Mekkis> which is why if you're forced to use windows, you run linux in a virtual machine and run xchat on it
21:16:51 <Brunius> Seems like a lot of work when you can just run xchat 2

21:32:14 <Sutekh> oh thats right. its night where you are
21:32:21 <Sutekh> still kinda light outside here
21:32:31 <Sutekh> through all the dark rain clouds that is :)
21:33:22 <Sutekh> Fire up Baldurs gate before... I couldnt work out Thaco!.. damn I felt bad :(
21:33:27 <Sutekh> But then it all came flooding back
21:34:07 <Brunius> From what I've heard of THACO it's complicated...
21:34:15 <Brunius> Or moreso than what we have at the moment
21:35:18 <Sutekh> you think what we have now is complicated?
21:35:18 * Sutekh chuckles
21:35:24 <Sutekh> Man... I started with Rolemaster
21:35:27 <Sutekh> You want hard you do that
21:35:38 <Sutekh> What we have now is... 6 year old math
21:36:50 <Sutekh> or rather grade 3-4 math
21:37:06 tashphones has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
21:37:07 <Sutekh> Its slowly progressed down since AD&D
21:37:38 <Sutekh> Which required one to calculate what happens to a negative number when a negative number is applied to it
21:37:44 <Sutekh> 3.5 has no such issues.
21:38:06 <Sutekh> 4e... well 4e slimmed down skills, brought in some multiplication via the [w] system
21:38:15 <Sutekh> but its essentially pretty simple math
21:38:40 <Sutekh> I remember making Champions characters using the Hero system... point buy can get messy :)
21:39:25 tashphones ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
21:40:00 <Sutekh> Sadly i havnt had a chance to look at 5e yet
21:40:07 <Sutekh> hopefully the math is good
21:51:17 <MekkisScreen> Tashes: you planning on hanguning around?
21:51:27 <Tashes> Mekkis!

22:35:05 <***> Buffer Playback...
22:35:05 <***> Playback Complete.
23:05:43 <***> Buffer Playback...
23:05:43 <***> Playback Complete.
23:06:00 <Sutekh> None of that so far. Bloodlines was a great game
23:06:05 <Sutekh> again story there
23:06:10 <Sutekh> Thats why its remembered
23:06:27 <Steven> then i played a werewolf camp with some people
23:06:57 <Steven> part of that world of darkness thing
23:07:09 <Steven> and... yeah the GM just sort of railroaded us along his preset story
23:07:32 <Sutekh> Yeah
23:07:35 <Steven> and if you did something he didnt account for he would find a way to put you back onto his story
23:07:36 <Sutekh> I feel that a bit sometimes
23:08:01 <Sutekh> Im kinda a rebel though. If I feel like Im on the 5.45 to preset location ville, Ill pull the handbreak or fuck that train right up :)
23:08:27 <Steven> and significantly marginalize what you were doing... was like pounding your head into a wall
23:08:31 <Sutekh> I 'accidentilly' killed a major npc in the Vampire game. Caused a lot of consternation
23:08:55 <Sutekh> I started to feel like he was a bit of a mary sue
23:08:59 <Sutekh> so stopped him right there and then :)
23:09:31 boris is now known as chip
23:11:18 <Sutekh> Anyway, getting tired, thanks for listening to the rantings of a slightly deranged Jewish man
