02:53:33 <Ballig> is it good
02:53:38 <Ballig> maybe vor'daru should be lantern lodge
02:53:48 <Ballig> I'm still not sure what his class is
02:54:08 <Ballig> torn between druid, summoner that only uses summon monster, and archer
02:54:08 <Avatar> I think it's mind-bendingly boring
02:54:23 <Avatar> it's also on my most boring character which doesn't help
02:54:34 <Ballig> which one is that? James?
02:54:37 <Ballig> Snickers?
02:54:39 <Ballig> I bet it's Snickers
02:54:41 <Avatar> no James is cool
02:54:43 <Avatar> Snickers is also cool
02:54:46 <Avatar> don't knock them
02:54:50 <Ballig> it can't be Cairo
02:54:50 <Avatar> it's on Landruff
02:54:51 <Ballig> Cairo is super fun
02:54:52 <Avatar> my druid
02:54:59 <Ballig> you don't like druid?
02:55:02 <Avatar> do you even remember I had a druid
02:55:15 <Ballig> I do remember Landruff
02:55:15 <Ballig> what's boring about him
02:55:22 <Avatar> well he's low level
02:55:30 <Avatar> I will be putting low level credit on him
02:55:40 <Ballig> yeah but doesn't the animal companion kick ass at that level
02:55:45 <Avatar> I'm sort of kicking for him to be able to cast some higher level shit
02:55:54 <Avatar> he's an urban druid, he doesn't get an animal companion
02:56:00 <Avatar> I like him for druid spells
02:56:04 <Ballig> oh, that's the reason then
02:56:06 <Ballig> what do you get for urban druid
02:56:11 <Avatar> forget animal companions
02:56:18 <Ballig> animal companions are what make druids
02:56:21 <Avatar> it gets rid of all the shit about druids
02:56:24 <Avatar> and gives them all good stuff
02:56:25 <Ballig> that and wild shape at level 4+
02:56:33 <Avatar> I don't get wild shape until 8
02:56:46 <Ballig> yeah so you ditched all the good stuff about druids
02:56:51 <Ballig> and got spontaneous casting
02:57:18 <Avatar> I actually don't remember what I got specifically
02:57:27 <Ballig> jesus, I do not see anything good about urban druid
02:57:39 <Ballig> you get the ability to spontaneously cast your domain spells
02:57:46 <Avatar> spontaneous casting FTW
02:57:47 <Avatar> !
02:57:48 <Ballig> specifically in exchange for your companion you get to choose a domain
02:58:07 <Avatar> lorekeeper = higher skills in exchange for useless druid shit
02:58:22 <Avatar> resist temptation = higher saves in exchange for useless druid shit
02:58:37 <Avatar> thousand faces I don't know what that is, some monk ability, in exchange for nothing
02:58:50 <Avatar> wild shape which I don't want to use at 8th level instead of 4th
02:58:54 <Avatar> boohoo
02:59:21 <Avatar> and charm/compulsion immunity at 9th level when you most need it instead of poison immunity which I'll have saves for anyway because I'll be a badass
02:59:52 <Ballig> yeah I don't like that archetype and don't think those are fair tradeoffs
03:00:01 <Ballig> but you enjoy your boring druid :p
03:00:18 <Avatar> the problem is I can't spellcast at the moment
03:00:21 <Avatar> and I am lantern lodge
03:00:29 <Avatar> so I have weak melee and ranged to deal with
03:00:31 <Avatar> he's the new cairo
03:01:04 <Avatar> somehow I built him better though
03:01:06 <Ballig> yeah because you gave up what makes a druid a druid
03:01:12 <Avatar> I guess it's tough to be worse than Cairo
03:01:24 <Avatar> and he's an aasimar, so that's cool
03:01:46 <Avatar> I only wanted druid spells
03:01:54 <Avatar> getting rid of all the useless druid shit is the bonus
03:02:11 <Avatar> if I want an animal companion, I'll just be a summoner and pretend my eidolon is an animal companion
03:08:02 <Ballig> how's that working out for you
03:08:14 <Avatar> summoner died in mort's game
03:08:24 <Ballig> I meant the druid
03:08:35 <Avatar> lantern lodge is killing me
03:08:36 <Ballig> most boring character?
03:08:36 <Ballig> :p
03:08:43 <Avatar> it's not me, it's the faction
03:11:23 <Akhaara> That's what they all say
03:11:49 <Akhaara> By the way
03:11:54 <Akhaara> The timeslot for that scenario
03:12:01 <Akhaara> Was amazing
03:12:09 <Avatar> why's that
03:12:16 <Akhaara> It's 6:30 p.m.
03:12:21 <Ballig> a-mazing
03:12:28 <Akhaara> The other two first steps were at 2:00 a.m. lol
03:12:38 <Avatar> how'd that happen
03:12:41 <Avatar> we usually run them at the same time
03:12:47 <Akhaara> I'm not sure
03:12:49 <Avatar> were the others on weekdays
03:12:52 <Ballig> first steps were being run on Friday afternoons
03:12:57 <Ballig> to not interfere with regular weekend games
03:13:07 <Avatar> realy
03:13:11 <Akhaara> They were on the same day i think
03:13:17 <Ballig> well, I ran one at 5.30pm on a Friday
03:13:21 <Akhaara> But like 6 your time or so
03:13:22 <Avatar> might've been coincidence
03:13:25 <Ballig> I think you ran FS1 on a Friday night too
03:13:32 <Avatar> we run more commonly at a timeslot like today's
03:13:40 <Akhaara> that's good lol
03:13:41 <Ballig> those were "bonus games"
03:13:45 <Ballig> rather than regular games that we schedule
03:13:55 <Akhaara> Unless I work, 6:30 is almost always better
03:13:57 <Ballig> we were trying to get a few more people out of that level 1 rut
03:14:21 <Akhaara> I haven't really seen many games getting scheduled though
03:14:29 <Avatar> what's the earliest you can play before 6.30
03:14:33 <Akhaara> Two tier 5-9 ones, and the WoTW
03:14:37 <Avatar> today's was probably a little late even
03:14:45 <Avatar> especially with dumb daylight savings
03:14:50 <Akhaara> 10:30 is late for you guys? (your time)
03:14:54 <Steven> this game FTL is addicting!
03:14:58 <Avatar> we'd usually run at around 9
03:15:03 <Avatar> yeah FTL is good aye
03:15:11 <Akhaara> Hm, interesting
03:15:27 <Brunius> Fireteam Leaders are good
03:16:44 <Avatar> shit now I need to make another character
03:16:53 <Avatar> maybe I'll wait for RPG superstar's new archetypes
03:17:04 <Avatar> those HAVE to be good
03:17:34 <Avatar> I didn't realise they'd done create a new archetype in rpg superstar before
03:17:41 <Avatar> what archetypes won before?
03:17:50 <Avatar> archaeologist had to have been one of them
03:18:28 <Akhaara> So either of you have an estimate on a next scenario we could do?
03:18:55 <Ballig> did they, though?
03:19:01 <Ballig> I don't remember them doing archetypes last year
03:19:08 <Ballig> I remember wondrous item, city, scenario
03:19:28 <Avatar> next week is arcanacon in melbourne
03:19:45 <Avatar> me, mekkis, brunius and sutekh won't be here
03:19:48 <Avatar> ballig will run something
03:20:16 <Akhaara> arcanacon?
03:20:18 <Avatar> they didn't do archetype last year, I think it was the year before
03:20:29 <Avatar> arcanacon = 4 straight days of nonstop PFS
03:20:39 <Akhaara> Heh, nice
03:21:01 <Ballig> you should take a laptop with webcam, Avatar
03:21:01 <Avatar> I think it's 6 games worth, including a special
03:21:03 <Ballig> and we can all attend
03:21:12 <Avatar> I don't have enough laptops
03:21:18 <Brunius> 5 games + special
03:21:26 <Brunius> Dammit, sunburn
03:21:39 <Ballig> 6 games including special = 5 games + special
03:21:47 <Brunius> quiet ballig
03:21:52 <Avatar> yeah but ballig he said it differently
03:21:57 <Brunius> Better to be too clear than not clear enough
03:22:04 <Avatar> 4 games + 1 game + special
03:22:31 <Ballig> 1 game + 1 game + 1 game + 1 game + 1 game + 1 special (game)
03:22:36 <Avatar> 1 game + 2 games + 2 games + special
03:22:53 <Akhaara> 1 game + 1 special + 1 game + 2 games + 2 games - 1 game
03:23:01 <Avatar> I don't understand why we're not playing on the friday morning, that is a bit dumb
03:23:13 <Ballig> probably setup
03:23:15 <Brunius> Because they need set up time probably
03:23:28 <Ballig> ShadowHunter80
03:23:43 <Brunius> Shaf
03:23:45 <Ballig> Shaf
03:24:49 <ShadowHunter80> hi
03:26:37 <ShadowHunter80> Hmmm has it suddenly gone quiet?
03:26:52 <Akhaara> You must be quite the scary guy
03:26:58 <Ballig> yes
03:27:08 <Akhaara> You don't scare me much
03:27:11 <ShadowHunter80> Awesome...
03:27:23 <Avatar> we start cons in the morning all the time
03:27:23 <Ballig> are you a shadow
03:27:34 <Avatar> ShadowHunter80 do you play PFS
03:27:43 <ShadowHunter80> Akhaara... you haven't seen me down a dark alley yet...
03:28:10 <Akhaara> Um... what uh... what happens in dark alleys?
03:28:43 <ShadowHunter80> I can only be seen when i grin moniacally...
03:29:02 <Akhaara> Um
03:29:03 <ShadowHunter80> Avatar... probably not...
03:29:05 <Akhaara> And on that note
03:29:12 <ShadowHunter80> lol
03:29:41 * ShadowHunter80 buffs his nails on his chest...
03:30:55 * Brunius complains in general
