00:07:59 * Falang opens up a new account with ebay... "Snake Belts"..

00:23:33 <Ashar> holy crap. this pathfinder stuff is expensive on their site
00:23:36 Ashar is now known as Falang
00:23:54 <Falang> $8.99 for a 2 page pdf
00:24:41 <Steven> what pdf?
00:24:50 <Falang> huh. so far so good. didn't rage as hard as it's bluster indicated. steady downpour.. I might make it through this!
00:24:55 <Falang> these flip-mats
00:25:09 <Falang> http://paizo.com/products/btpy8oty?GameMastery-FlipMat-Arena for example
00:25:27 <Falang> that's a massive ripoff. I mean come on.
00:25:42 <Steven> its a flip mat...
00:25:53 <Falang> it's a pdf.
00:26:23 <Falang> you wanna sell an actual mat, that's fine, that's $12.99, the pdf is almost as expensive.. and some of them are only sold as pdfs.
00:26:56 <andrey> are we going ahead with the game next morning
00:26:57 <andrey> ?
00:27:15 <Steven> god how perfect would it be if it went down right now

00:42:52 <Steven> tonight is going to suck!
00:44:09 <Mekkis> If you're arguing that sloppily written material is invalid, half the entire PF line is right down the toilet.
00:53:19 <Steven> i think im going to order some taquidoes for dinner, ir eally dont feel like cooking
00:54:16 Steven has quit (Quit: )
00:58:02 <Steven> time to find something to watch
01:03:47 <Falang> taquitos?
01:03:51 <Falang> frozen?
01:03:59 <Falang> oh

01:23:21 <Proquar> mekkis?
01:23:27 <Mekkis> dot
01:23:40 <Brunius_> ding
01:23:55 <Proquar> explain to me please how to get a level 5 char for tomorrow?
01:24:03 <Brunius_> superglue
01:24:07 <Mekkis> you take a 7th level pregen
01:24:08 <Mekkis> and play it
01:24:22 <Mekkis> then, when your character hits 5th level, you apply the chronicle sheet
01:24:36 <Proquar> now i'm confused
01:24:48 <Mekkis> if Avatar sent you the pregens from the NPC codex, you choose one of them
01:29:20 niconorsk ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
01:31:46 <Steven> OR play 4 modules between now and tomorrow
01:32:57 niconorsk has quit (Quit: )
01:33:38 <Mekkis> See? Steven's offered to GM them!
01:34:13 <Falang> hah
01:35:45 <Proquar> yay steven!
01:36:17 <Proquar> avatar sent me the codex... which seems to have a whole lot of NPC, and you think i can just chose one of those?
01:36:20 * Proquar blinks
01:36:37 <Mekkis> I don't know what Avatar sent you
01:36:49 <Steven> i totaly didnt hear that you guys are sharing PDFs...
01:37:12 <Mekkis> The 1st and 7th level iconic characters found on pages 274-297 may be used in place of the downloadable pregenerated characters found on Paizo.com.
01:38:02 <Mekkis> I think that answers your question
01:38:56 <Mekkis> Steven, my VC gave me the impression that those pages could be printed and used by new players
01:38:59 <Mekkis> g
01:39:45 <Falang> pages 274 of what?
01:39:54 <Mekkis> NPC codex
01:40:09 <Falang> lets see here...
01:40:33 <Falang> Oh, nice.
01:40:37 <Falang> much better..
01:40:39 <Mekkis> At the very least, if someone's playing an iconic out of the NPC codex, I'll need to, you know, SEE the character sheet, which implies distribution
01:40:58 <Falang> I very well may, after I poke through them.
01:41:09 <Falang> any idea what the class distribution is like so far?
01:41:36 <Proquar> so, i can play a level 7 pregen, but can't generate one...
01:41:40 * Proquar ponders the situation
01:41:47 <Mekkis> no, but I do know that last time I ran it, Ezren and Kyra died :)
01:43:07 <Proquar> have to run... we'll see how we go
01:46:20 <Falang> well I might just be that wizard, he looks okay..
01:46:52 <Mekkis> last time I ran it, I killed him
01:48:08 <Falang> so? That has nothing to do with me.
01:49:42 <Falang> feeling like a spellcaster.. so wiz/sorc/druid.. druid looks so adorable!
02:15:19 <Steven> makin a dwarf!
02:15:27 <Mekkis> dwarf rogue?
02:16:15 <Steven> dwarf sorc!
02:16:25 <Mekkis> :(
02:16:39 <Steven> okay okay.... Dwarf Rogue Sorc!
02:50:43 <Steven> just got done watching The Mist...
02:55:14 <Steven> pretty awesome movie
02:59:52 <Steven> so.... what to watch now
03:07:53 <Avatar> yo
03:08:33 <Avatar> Steven: sharing PDFs is the only thing that got me into pathfinder and buying books
03:12:56 <Steven> you dont say such things infront of a VL whos supposed to report such activities to paizo.
03:13:29 <Avatar> report it
03:13:38 <Brunius> What are they gonna do, really
03:13:51 <Brunius> Confiscate all his chronicle sheets?
03:15:11 <Steven> PDFs are for personal use only. Please dont share them.
03:15:45 <Ulzef> hey guys and gals
03:16:28 <Brunius> I don't share pdfs. I don't solicit sharing of pdfs. But honestly, what effect do you think your effecting that Avatar has, in the past, shared pdfs, will have?
03:19:30 <Steven> if a person shares pdfs, that means one less pdf paizo has sold. which means they arent making money. Paizo knows it happens and its supposed to be discouraged.
03:20:33 <Ulzef> its not always one less sold because he needs a water marked copy for him to use it himself i am more likly to buy a book if i have looked at it and know there is something for me in it
03:20:46 <Ulzef> mekkis btw you are awesome
03:21:17 <Ulzef> and today was a awesome day for mail i got the letter from you and my goblin plushy all in the one day.
03:28:37 <Avatar> Steven: it's not like I'm begrudgingly holding it against you when I say report me
03:28:57 <Avatar> I mean do it, tell them that's what made my buy pathfinder, and they can take whatever action they want
03:29:32 <Avatar> if they want to sue me because I played with their pirated material, fine - but that's shoddy marketing
03:29:39 <Avatar> and I can't see them swinging that way
03:30:20 <Avatar> they wouldn't be making money off me if I wasn't sharing, and I'm not the only one
03:33:11 <Brunius> If Avatar had never sent me the pathfinder core rulebook, I wouldn't own the CRB now, I wouldn't own UC, the APG, UM, PFS Field Guide, Adventurer's Armoury.
03:33:46 <Brunius> Yes, there are those that will exploit the system. But you can't avoid that. Even print-only companies end up getting pdfs of their stuff distributed
03:33:54 <Avatar> brunius would still own UM though
03:34:04 * Avatar crys
03:34:05 <Brunius> I would never have got into PFS
03:34:07 <Brunius> :P
03:39:52 <Avatar> ulzef: what is this about a letter
03:47:19 <Avatar> hey we have a game tomorrow

03:47:59 Mekkis_x200 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
03:49:45 <Ulzef> sent me a boon from when we traded at last con opened the letter box and there was a letter for Ulzef the Efficient from the spirit of freedom
03:49:55 <Proquar> what's a VL?
03:49:57 <Avatar> ha
03:50:07 <Avatar> venture lieutenant
03:50:19 <Proquar> oh dear
03:50:21 <Avatar> PFS has a sort of hierarchy of leadership
03:50:47 <Avatar> there's GMs, then VLs, then VC's (venture captains) then paizo people
03:50:54 <Avatar> steven is a VL in washington
03:52:11 <Proquar> ok
04:09:59 Neko-Question has quit (Quit: )
04:41:07 <Mekkis> is it bad that I'm using the same event for all my online stuff?
04:41:29 <Steven> yup
04:41:53 <Mekkis> don't you use 20068 for everything you do on here?
04:42:25 <Steven> nope
04:45:48 <Avatar> why is it bad
04:46:54 <Steven> inacurate number of events
04:47:33 <Avatar> but that is sort of like 'friends' on facebook
04:47:44 <Avatar> they aren't necessarily friends, it's just whose feed you read and vice versa
04:47:48 <Avatar> it's a term for lack of a better one
04:48:55 <Steven> okay... mike goes into the tech support guys and says hey im doing a report for lisa on the growth of PFS to get more money for PFS.
04:49:10 <Steven> I need all the figures for games within the last year.
04:49:29 <Avatar> I'm pretty sure mike knows about this kind of thing going on
04:49:48 <Avatar> if he went asking for that - unlikely - he'd want to expect inaccurate results
04:50:24 <Steven> if somebody uses 1 event code per 5-10 games, it doesnt record which day those games were played on, so you have one day where somebody aparantly GMed 5-10 games and then nothing for 3 months.
04:51:20 <Steven> even though they might be playing every other week.
04:51:29 <Steven> it complicates the data.
04:51:57 <Brunius> Hmm
04:52:03 <Brunius> What are you arging about?
04:52:46 <Steven> arent arguing.
04:52:59 <Brunius> what are you discussing in a seemingly heated fashion?
05:00:13 <Steven> yay all done
05:01:43 <Avatar> we're arguing about you brunius
05:01:49 <Avatar> again
05:02:01 <Steven> I spared you from getting banned
05:02:56 <Brunius> seems legit
05:03:18 <Avatar> yeah steven was about to ban you
05:03:28 <Avatar> I said no no dont do it steven
05:03:32 <Avatar> and we had an argument for a while
05:03:43 <Avatar> and then you were spared
05:04:03 <Steven> yup
05:04:11 <Steven> exacty how it happened
05:07:23 <Avatar> some joker on the forums said he had an amulet of iomedae that gives +2 AC vs evil
05:07:30 <Avatar> does anyone know what that is
05:08:23 <Falang> oh yeah that thing.
05:08:34 <Falang> It gives a +2 AC vs. Evil.
05:08:51 <Falang> *nod*
05:09:10 <Avatar> link to it
05:10:16 <Falang> sorry, too busy for that. I have faith in you finding it.
05:10:51 <Falang> not just faith, CONFIDENCE. You can do it.
05:11:31 <Steven> Im far to lazy to go search for myself
05:20:35 <Falang> well I'm far too full of shit to even know where to look for it. ;)
05:42:41 <Brunius> Brief search doesn't find it
05:42:52 <Brunius> Perhaps a scenario specific item?
06:05:13 <Avatar> no such thing
06:05:16 <Avatar> it is a fake
06:05:33 <Avatar> cmon, amulet of iomedae
06:05:42 <Avatar> it even sounds fake
06:12:43 <Steven> i wouldnt be surprised if it were real
06:14:44 <Avatar> no problem, find it
06:14:55 <Steven> why would i?
06:15:05 <Avatar> you said it was real
06:15:12 <Steven> thats not what i said
06:15:42 <Avatar> you cant' just say something and then mean something else
06:16:24 <Steven> im practicing to be a politition

08:10:04 <Mekkis> two artefacts
08:20:55 <Proquar> Do you guys ever sleep? :p
08:21:06 <Proquar> um.. what is the difference between the codex and the core rules?
08:25:44 <Wrothmonk> codex?
08:25:45 <Falang> are there any map.. how do I put this.. bits? deconstructed maps?
08:26:10 <Mekkis> ?
08:26:17 <Wrothmonk> And no, we are nerds, sleep is for weaklings who dont know what a d20 is!
08:30:53 * Proquar nogs at Wrothmonk
08:31:01 <Wrothmonk> nogs?
08:31:09 <Proquar> avatar sent me the codex last night
08:31:10 <Wrothmonk> I dont think its anywhere near christmas
08:31:12 <Proquar> :D
08:31:28 <Proquar> ah ha
08:31:35 <Proquar> and now i see it... it is an NPC codex
08:31:48 <Wrothmonk> the bestiary?
08:31:49 <Proquar> as opposed to a Players core rules
08:31:54 <Falang> wall sections, chairs, doors, etc
08:32:03 <Falang> so you can easily make your own
08:32:17 <Falang> 'map construction set'
08:32:26 <Wrothmonk> Sorry but I have no clue what you're talking about, I havent heard of any codex related to pathfinder before
08:33:02 <Mekkis> ,,,
08:34:36 <Falang> are we doing this in morse code?
08:35:03 Forevernade ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
08:35:27 <Proquar> i get that a lot, really
08:35:28 <Proquar> ;)
08:37:02 <Mekkis> hmmm
08:39:35 <Falang> obviously i could go nuts with photoshop but why do it if it's already done
08:39:55 <Mekkis> what are you trying to do?
08:40:38 <CABot> 200,0,10,13,255,255,255,1,

08:41:10 <CABot> 204,0,3,7
08:41:28 <Proquar> wrothmonk, what is the point of a bard?
08:41:34 <Mekkis> anyone want to take a stab about what CABot's saying?
08:41:35 <Wrothmonk> buffs
08:41:44 <Falang> ...
08:41:47 <Falang> ookay
08:42:01 <Falang> say if you wanted to make your own adventure, you'd need to create maps for CA
08:42:05 <Wrothmonk> or the chance to make crappy jokes in character
08:42:27 <Falang> maps with trees and rocks and wagons and doors and whatnot in it.
08:42:32 * Proquar grins mischeviously
08:42:44 <Proquar> any char can be a wannabe bard for that purpose
08:42:56 <Wrothmonk> Not exactly I think
08:43:14 <Wrothmonk> except for the second one
08:43:20 <Falang> something kinda like.. this.. but.. prettier. http://www.dxcontent.com/MAP_Editor.html
08:43:35 <Wrothmonk> Also what do you think the aspiring bard trait is for?
08:43:51 <Proquar> i see the bard has been zuped up, but y'know... they're still bards ;)
08:44:03 <Proquar> making crappy jokes
08:44:57 <Falang> ah, there are 'map packs'. I guess that could be sliced and diced..
08:45:43 <Wrothmonk> personally I like the idea that technically you could just sing twinkle twinkle little star and everyone would get a +1 bravery bonus :P
08:46:51 <Mekkis> considering adding them to CA
08:46:59 <Mekkis> but I think CABot takes precedence
08:47:02 <CABot> 224,0,65543,106 127 125 146 255 255 255
08:47:05 <CABot> 204,0,5,6
08:47:05 <CABot> 204,0,5,10
08:47:06 <CABot> 204,0,6,13
08:47:07 <CABot> 204,0,10,13
08:47:32 <Falang> the hell was that? I have a pretty good guess but..
08:47:49 <Mekkis> what's the guess?
08:48:52 <Falang> something associated with CA, trying to link irc with mapping functions?
08:49:02 <Proquar> all right, i'm not sure how i'm supposed to use the cdex
08:49:04 <Proquar> codex, even
08:49:20 * Wrothmonk raises hands dont ask me
08:49:24 <Falang> those could be coordinates and id numbers
08:49:28 <Mekkis> close
08:49:44 <Wrothmonk> that was supposed to be two lines :/
08:50:03 <Steven> IM BACK!

08:55:52 <Falang> making your own maps for PF
08:56:00 <Falang> decent looking ones.
08:56:06 <Falang> some kind of construction kit
08:56:13 <Falang> or clip art
08:56:26 <Mekkis> I use inkscape for the kingmaker stuff
08:56:27 <Steven> have you heard of google...
08:57:36 <Falang> I was trying that also, I did provide an example.. it rather depends on terminology. Besides you're always on about the gaming store or whatever.. figured you'd be the person to know
08:58:43 <Falang> Having a hard enough time getting you two to understand it, you want me to rely on google? :)
08:58:57 <Steven> well then it will all be your fault.
08:59:36 <Steven> also, i'll get to be lazy.
09:03:12 <Falang> Mekkis: yeah, I was considering something like that, though I don't know vector well, prolly just go with photoshop..
09:04:14 <Steven> photoshop good stuff
09:04:17 <Mekkis> fyi, if I ever get around to putting glyphs into CA, it will be SVG
09:04:27 <Mekkis> I love to zoom :)
09:05:49 <Steven> he is a zoomer
09:06:52 <Mekkis> what can I say
09:08:46 <Falang> oh sure, I can't say I'd blame you there, certainly better than raster for an app like that.
09:09:07 <Falang> might be nice to allow players to move their own pieces, that's for sure.
09:09:58 <Mekkis> that's unlikely
09:10:13 <Mekkis> what's more likely is for players to be able to specify a square by clicking though
09:12:28 <Steven> that would be pretty cool
09:13:03 <Proquar> I have a question, mekkis
09:13:12 <Mekkis> go ahead
09:13:15 <Steven> dont do it proquar!
09:13:17 <Steven> its a trap!
09:13:23 * Proquar loves traps
09:13:32 <Proquar> can you just roll a level 5 char?
09:13:38 * Proquar ponders the situation
09:13:39 <Mekkis> of course you can
09:13:47 <Mekkis> ...but not for PFS
09:14:55 <Proquar> ha
09:15:16 <Steven> I like making random characters
09:15:22 * Proquar sighs very deeply
09:15:23 <Proquar> :p
09:15:29 <Mekkis> Are you interested in the ANZAC day game?
09:15:44 <Proquar> Yeah
09:15:53 <Proquar> I have deemed Thursday to be a relaxing day
09:16:04 <Mekkis> Steven can supply you with your choice of eleven quality pregens, I believe
09:16:20 <Proquar> you just play someone else's char?
09:16:27 <Mekkis> (you have the NPC codex, right, Steven?)
09:16:37 <Steven> Yup, i do mekkis
09:16:57 * Proquar blinks unwittingly
09:17:44 <Steven> hmmm.... so next challenge i think im going to do
09:18:09 <Steven> make a viable rogue
09:18:13 <Mekkis> is it possible for you to show them to Proquar?
09:18:39 <Steven> nope
09:20:22 <Proquar> thanks avatar
09:20:34 <Mekkis> http://paizo.com/download/pathfinder/Pregens-Levels.zip
09:20:34 <Proquar> steven, would it help to know that i'd consider playing a cleric
09:20:35 <Proquar> ?
09:20:39 <Mekkis> http://paizo.com/download/pathfinder/Pregens-UC-Levels.zip
09:25:00 <Mekkis> Steven, if I were to have two animal companions, could I switch between which one is "combat" and which is "non-combat" mid-scenario?
09:25:21 <Mekkis> (while not in combat, naturally
09:25:22 <Mekkis> )
09:27:24 <Proquar> afk
09:29:06 <Steven> i dunno, theres a faq on it somewhere
09:29:26 <Falang> *yawn*
09:34:03 <Steven> hmmmm.... that build would be viable at level 6
09:37:43 <Steven> so... whatcha guys think
09:38:02 <Mekkis> I think it's great!
09:38:14 <Mekkis> I got two CA instances talking to each other over IRC!
09:38:27 <Steven> kick ass
09:38:49 <Steven> So Controlled Rage+Amplified Rage, put all that stuff into Dex
09:39:09 <Steven> so as an inquisitor you could Amplified rage for +4 str/dex/con
09:39:41 <Mekkis> so trying to get ports properly forwarded might be a non-issue!
09:40:28 <Mekkis> that being said
09:40:34 <Mekkis> I should run it by Ballig first
09:40:41 <Mekkis> except that Brunius ballignapped him
09:43:03 <Mekkis> That said, if your friends are making fun of your decision to go to church, it is probably a matter of the type of church to which you are going. Are you a member of one of those faiths that preaches respect for one’s fellow man and compassion and all that? If so, that is the root of your problem.
09:43:21 <Mekkis> Empathy and human kindness are interpreted as signs of weakness and are the spiritual equivalent of putting a kick-me sign on one’s back. I recommend joining a church with more of a blood worship, drug-taking, insane-dancing, human sacrifice sort of vibe. Your friends are much less likely to make fun of you if they think the odds are good that you’re going to lunge at them wearing a giant straw mask and brandishing a serrated dagger.
09:46:35 <Mekkis> if I even become a VO, I'll make sure my email address is longer than anyone else's
09:47:08 <Mekkis> (the Brisbane VC's is already the longest...)
09:47:17 <Steven> but they you would know all the VO secrets
09:47:23 <Steven> then*
09:47:39 <Mekkis> what? by having a long email address?
09:47:50 <Steven> yup
10:04:14 <Falang> ???
10:04:43 <Falang> I agree wholeheartedly.
10:10:29 <Mekkis> "You carry around a device the size of a deck of cards with the power of a Cray supercomputer, and you use it as a /phone/?"
10:13:20 <Wrothmonk> :/
10:13:27 <Wrothmonk> Thats just asking for more trouble
10:13:59 <Wrothmonk> Since who is to say that church wont do anything to you?
10:14:20 <Wrothmonk> or better yet the police
10:14:24 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, that's horrible. You must never have considered the worship of Lissala!
10:24:17 <Ashar> holy crap. this pathfinder stuff is expensive on their site
10:24:38 <Falang> $8.99 for a 2 page pdf
10:25:25 <Steven> what pdf?
10:25:39 <Falang> these flip-mats
10:25:53 <Falang> http://paizo.com/products/btpy8oty?GameMastery-FlipMat-Arena for example
10:26:11 <Falang> that's a massive ripoff. I mean come on.
10:26:20 Wrothmonk has quit (Connection closed)
10:26:26 <Steven> its a flip mat...
10:26:37 <Falang> it's a pdf.
10:27:07 <Falang> you wanna sell an actual mat, that's fine, that's $12.99, the pdf is almost as expensive.. and some of them are only sold as pdfs.
10:27:40 <andrey> are we going ahead with the game next morning
10:27:41 <andrey> ?
10:29:04 <Falang> Looks like Lissala took offense
10:33:20 Wrothmonk ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
10:55:41 <Mekkis> Lissala loves you
11:02:41 <Wrothmonk> Who?
11:03:00 <Mekkis> Lissala - the Risen Rune
11:03:12 <Mekkis> the thing that Season 4 is all about!
11:04:19 <Mekkis> !spell remove blindness
11:04:25 <diebot> Mekkis, REMOVE SICKNESS conjuration (healing[]) cleric 1, druid 1, witch 1 1 standard action Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one creature Comp: V, S Duration: 10 minutes/level; see text Save: Fortitude negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)
11:04:25 <diebot> You quell feelings of illness and nausea in the target, giving it a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against disease, nausea, and sickened effects. If the subject is already under the influence of one of these effects when receiving the spell, that effect is suppressed for the duration of the spell.
11:04:40 <Mekkis> !spell remove blindness/deafness
11:04:42 <diebot> Mekkis, REMOVE BLINDNESS/DEAFNESS conjuration (healing[]) cleric 3, paladin 3, alchemist 3, witch 3 1 standard action Range: touch creature touched Comp: V, S Duration: instantaneous Save: Fortitude negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)
11:04:42 <diebot> Remove blindness/deafness cures blindness or deafness (your choice), whether the effect is normal or magical in nature. The spell does not restore ears or eyes that have been lost, but it repairs them if they are damaged. Remove blindness/deafness counters and dispels blindness/deafness.
11:04:56 <Mekkis> hmmm
11:05:04 <Mekkis> Two spells that would be really useful
11:12:52 <miseria> "soy el poder, si me ofendes te castigo con todo el rigor, si te ofendo, calla o te declaro traidor a la patria" bienvenidos: http://castroruben.com *temo_a_un_ser_sin_rival*
11:18:23 <Falang> so I guess if you really want to blind someone, rip their eyes out
11:19:51 <Mekkis> easier to slit their throat
11:20:29 <Falang> but not as entertaining in the long term
11:20:55 <Wrothmonk> Being dead tends to ruin long term stuff
11:21:08 <Falang> except decomposition
11:21:21 <Wrothmonk> I stand corrected
11:21:27 <Mekkis> sure, but it stops them swearing revenge on you
11:22:30 <Mekkis> so, I see an article like "Australian privacy watchdog wants answers on Google Glass"
11:22:38 <Mekkis> and my first thought is:
11:22:52 <Mekkis> "WTF... Australia has a 'privacy watchdog'?"
11:23:38 Falang has quit (EOF from client)
11:23:54 <N2H4> How will google glass be any more of a privacy problem than everyone having cameras in cell phones?
11:24:20 <Wrothmonk> Google glass has sensors to read your mind man!
11:24:26 <Wrothmonk> /////sarcasm//////////
11:24:33 <Mekkis> !spell submerge ship
11:24:35 <diebot> Mekkis, SUBMERGE SHIP transmutation ([]) cleric 7, sorcerer/wizard 7 1 minute Range: touch 1 sailing vessel Comp: V, S, M/DF (a glass marble or piece of soap) Duration: 10 minutes/level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:no
11:24:36 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/spells/submerge_ship.html
11:24:46 Falang ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
11:24:48 <Wrothmonk> The spell for instant submarine?
11:24:55 <N2H4> Submarines aren't all its cracked up to be.
11:25:09 <Falang> Mekkis: your first thought is what
11:25:34 <Wrothmonk> Mekkis: "WTF... Australia has a 'privacy watchdog'?"
11:25:57 <Mekkis> that I didn't know that Australia, with all its talk of internet filters, email screening, and mobile phone logging, has a 'Privacy Watchdog'"
11:26:18 <Falang> hah
11:26:21 <Mekkis> "The ship itself uses its Will saving throw to resist this effect."
11:28:31 <Goya> I think I found the privacy watchdog 'Home Office'. http://imgur.com/Rm7FT
11:29:32 <Goya> Mind you - it is ironic that government pretends things are in your 'best interest' while working against them.
11:30:35 <Mekkis> N2H4, I understand, but it's still useful when... transporting... livestock...
11:32:06 <N2H4> Livestock. Right.
11:32:29 <Mekkis> Ask Ulzef. He has some slips to sell you
11:33:51 <N2H4> Had enough of submarines honestly.
11:34:13 <Mekkis> I can believe that
11:41:08 <N2H4> I think the most fun I really had on it was getting lost in the engine room.
11:41:29 <Mekkis> you got lost on a submarine?
11:41:38 <Mekkis> I didn't think they were that big
11:42:06 <N2H4> Lost may be the wrong word. Exploring is better I think.
11:43:00 <N2H4> No, they aren't that big, but theres plenty of interesting spots in the engineroom it takes a bit of gymnastics and contortion to get into.
11:55:23 <Mekkis> did they make you sign anything that says you're not allowed to talk about stuff?
11:59:29 <N2H4> Gotta keep some secrets.
12:04:07 <N2H4> It cracks me up how every tv show and movie that involves military and shows a computer has some crazy fancy OS and UI.
12:05:31 <Mekkis> http://www.galactanet.com/comic/view.php?strip=163
12:05:52 <Mekkis> like that?
12:06:49 <N2H4> Pretty much.
12:07:22 Farang ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
12:11:18 <N2H4> Its especially sharp when they show military computers as something amazingly cool.
12:11:30 <N2H4> Last I checked the US Navy was still using windows 2000.
12:11:33 <Farang> Okay, trapped here again for a while..
12:12:49 <N2H4> So whats the difference between Farang and Falang. The words, I mean.
12:15:20 <Farang> Farang is the real word, falang is how the Thai people say it since they screw up the r sound.
12:16:27 <Farang> Both just mean, roughly, 'foreigner'. Originally I think it just meant French people.
12:17:26 <N2H4> Learn something new every day.
12:17:34 Farang has quit (EOF from client)
12:17:52 Farang ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
12:18:31 <Farang> Though I think they say it with more distaste
12:22:38 <N2H4> I think you mentioned that it was derogatory.
12:23:41 <Farang> Well... Hard to judge. They have no problem talking about you in Thai with you standing right there.. It feels derogatory.
12:24:58 <Farang> Hard to say if that's cultural or what, but no farang ever felt like they respect you... Unless they were an idiot.
12:30:10 <Farang> A Thai person obviously is at fault in a car accident with a farang, the farang is always at fault, period.
12:31:41 <N2H4> It was kinda like that in Hawaii too.
12:35:23 <N2H4> A sailor I knew was hitting on the wrong Hawaiian girl in a club. In hindsight its easy to tell she was the wrong girl. Her male protectors put him in a coma by fracturing his skull.
12:39:20 <Farang> I can easily see that happening here. Esp. Since the girls commonly want farang men, we treat our women better and have more money. I've heard girls say that, so of course it pisses the men off.
12:41:23 <N2H4> You know, I've heard the same about Australian women. I'm tempted to think its got little to do with location and more to do with the grass being greener on the other side.
12:41:23 <Steven> hey hey
12:41:47 <N2H4> And stories about events from friends casting said events in a better light than the truth.
12:41:49 <Steven> i got hit with a migraine so i took a nap... whats goin on?
12:42:42 <N2H4> Not too much. We're philosophizing. Or something like that.
12:43:14 <Mekkis> rules question: the FAQ states that animals "could be purchased with Light Armor Proficiency as one of its feats (swapping out Endurance or Skill Focus respectively) for the same cost."
12:43:42 <Mekkis> would this extend to animals other than horses or dogs?
12:43:53 <Steven> whats the faq say
12:44:03 <Mekkis> Handle Animal: Does training an animal using Handle Animal to be Combat Trained (pg 98 in the Core Rulebook) grant it Light Armor Proficiency?
12:44:03 <Mekkis> No, using Handle Animal to train an animal, or mount, in this way does not grant it a free bonus feat. It is not unreasonable, however to assume that an animal specifically designed to be ridden (such as a horse or dog) could be purchased with Light Armor Proficiency as one of its feats (swapping out Endurance or Skill Focus respectively) for the same cost.
12:44:03 <Mekkis> —Jason Bulmahn, 10/21/10
12:44:12 <Steven> also, that sounds interesting hydra
12:44:46 <Farang> The day Battle Cattle became a reality!
12:44:47 <Mekkis> that predates Animal Archive by over two years though
12:45:20 <Steven> well i suggest you do a search on paizo forums and if its not there go ahead and make a thread
12:45:29 <N2H4> I would think yes, but expect the extra pricetag on exotic-shape armor to go with it.

12:59:23 <Mekkis> I've always thought that animal barding looks impressive
13:21:14 <N2H4> ...if you were trying to armor a snake, how would you keep it on?
13:21:38 <N2H4> A chainmail 'sock' and glue seems to be about the best I can come up with.

15:23:19 <Brunius_> superglue
15:23:22 <Mekkis> you take a 7th level pregen
15:23:24 <Mekkis> and play it
15:23:37 <Mekkis> then, when your character hits 5th level, you apply the chronicle sheet
15:23:52 <Proquar> now i'm confused
15:24:04 <Mekkis> if Avatar sent you the pregens from the NPC codex, you choose one of them
15:31:02 <Steven> OR play 4 modules between now and tomorrow
15:32:54 <Mekkis> See? Steven's offered to GM them!
15:33:29 <Falang> hah
15:34:20 Neko-Question ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
15:35:01 <Proquar> yay steven!
15:35:33 <Proquar> avatar sent me the codex... which seems to have a whole lot of NPC, and you think i can just chose one of those?
15:35:36 * Proquar blinks
15:35:53 <Mekkis> I don't know what Avatar sent you
15:36:05 <Steven> i totaly didnt hear that you guys are sharing PDFs...
15:36:28 <Mekkis> The 1st and 7th level iconic characters found on pages 274-297 may be used in place of the downloadable pregenerated characters found on Paizo.com.
15:37:17 <Mekkis> I think that answers your question
15:38:12 <Mekkis> Steven, my VC gave me the impression that those pages could be printed and used by new players
15:38:15 <Mekkis> g
15:39:01 <Falang> pages 274 of what?
15:39:10 <Mekkis> NPC codex
15:39:26 <Falang> lets see here...
15:39:50 <Falang> Oh, nice.
15:39:53 <Falang> much better..
15:39:55 <Mekkis> At the very least, if someone's playing an iconic out of the NPC codex, I'll need to, you know, SEE the character sheet, which implies distribution
15:40:14 <Falang> I very well may, after I poke through them.
15:40:25 <Falang> any idea what the class distribution is like so far?
15:40:52 <Proquar> so, i can play a level 7 pregen, but can't generate one...
15:40:56 * Proquar ponders the situation
15:41:02 <Mekkis> no, but I do know that last time I ran it, Ezren and Kyra died :)
15:42:23 <Proquar> have to run... we'll see how we go
15:45:36 <Falang> well I might just be that wizard, he looks okay..
15:46:08 <Mekkis> last time I ran it, I killed him
15:47:24 <Falang> so? That has nothing to do with me.
15:48:58 <Falang> feeling like a spellcaster.. so wiz/sorc/druid.. druid looks so adorable!

17:52:11 <Proquar> is mekkis a gm?
17:52:32 <Avatar> yeah, as long as players don't drop out and the game ends up cancelled
17:52:41 <Avatar> of course he's a GM
17:52:44 <Avatar> he is GMing tomorrow
17:52:50 <Proquar> do you need at least 3?
17:52:55 <Avatar> yeah
17:53:05 <Proquar> yeah... but is he a VL GMing?
17:53:09 <Proquar> or a GM GMing?
17:53:14 <Avatar> he's a GM GMing
17:53:21 <Proquar> can a VL GM?
17:53:25 <Avatar> anyone can GM
17:53:33 <Avatar> you can GM if you want
17:53:39 <Proquar> so in a way, we're all GMs?
17:53:40 <Avatar> in fact I highly recommend it !
17:53:52 <Avatar> in a way anyone CAN GM
17:53:53 * Proquar sighs deeply
17:53:54 <Avatar> but you actually have to GM to be a GM
17:54:07 <Avatar> you can't just not GM and still be a GM
17:54:22 <Proquar> i'm confident i am one of the worst GMs in the world
17:54:30 <Avatar> why do you say that
17:54:36 <Avatar> have you done it before
17:54:40 <Proquar> not online
17:54:55 <Proquar> but i have...
17:55:10 <Avatar> I am a much better GM online than in person
17:56:21 <Steven> I'm better in person.
17:56:46 <Avatar> that's only because we can't understand half of what you say over skype
17:58:30 <Steven> it must be my american accent
17:59:03 <Avatar> I don't think so, because hydrazine is american and played with us a lot and we never had the same problem
17:59:11 <Avatar> have you tried a different mic
17:59:26 <Steven> Well we are from different areas of the country
17:59:38 <Avatar> sounds shifty!
17:59:56 <Avatar> I don't believe I'm about to buy a book just for spring loaded wrist sheathes
18:00:01 <Avatar> these better come in damn handy
18:00:08 <Proquar> so, mekkis... i'll probably play tomorrow... but if all the seats get taken, cest la vie
21:05:26 <diebot> Mekkis, REMOVE BLINDNESS/DEAFNESS conjuration (healing[]) cleric 3, paladin 3, alchemist 3, witch 3 1 standard action Range: touch creature touched Comp: V, S Duration: instantaneous Save: Fortitude negates (harmless) SR:yes (harmless)
21:05:26 <diebot> Remove blindness/deafness cures blindness or deafness (your choice), whether the effect is normal or magical in nature. The spell does not restore ears or eyes that have been lost, but it repairs them if they are damaged. Remove blindness/deafness counters and dispels blindness/deafness.
21:05:41 <Mekkis> hmmm
21:05:49 <Mekkis> Two spells that would be really useful
21:19:07 <Falang> so I guess if you really want to blind someone, rip their eyes out
21:20:35 <Mekkis> easier to slit their throat
21:21:13 <Falang> but not as entertaining in the long term
21:21:39 <Wrothmonk> Being dead tends to ruin long term stuff
21:21:52 <Falang> except decomposition
21:22:05 <Wrothmonk> I stand corrected
21:22:11 <Mekkis> sure, but it stops them swearing revenge on you
21:23:14 <Mekkis> so, I see an article like "Australian privacy watchdog wants answers on Google Glass"
21:23:22 <Mekkis> and my first thought is:
21:23:36 <Mekkis> "WTF... Australia has a 'privacy watchdog'?"
21:24:38 <N2H4> How will google glass be any more of a privacy problem than everyone having cameras in cell phones?
21:25:04 <Wrothmonk> Google glass has sensors to read your mind man!
21:25:10 <Wrothmonk> /////sarcasm//////////
21:25:17 <Mekkis> !spell submerge ship
21:25:19 <diebot> Mekkis, SUBMERGE SHIP transmutation ([]) cleric 7, sorcerer/wizard 7 1 minute Range: touch 1 sailing vessel Comp: V, S, M/DF (a glass marble or piece of soap) Duration: 10 minutes/level Save: Will negates (harmless) SR:no
21:25:19 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/spells/submerge_ship.html
21:25:32 <Wrothmonk> The spell for instant submarine?
21:25:39 <N2H4> Submarines aren't all its cracked up to be.
21:25:53 <Falang> Mekkis: your first thought is what
21:26:18 <Wrothmonk> Mekkis: "WTF... Australia has a 'privacy watchdog'?"
21:26:42 <Mekkis> that I didn't know that Australia, with all its talk of internet filters, email screening, and mobile phone logging, has a 'Privacy Watchdog'"
21:27:02 <Falang> hah
21:27:05 <Mekkis> "The ship itself uses its Will saving throw to resist this effect."
21:29:15 <Goya> I think I found the privacy watchdog 'Home Office'. http://imgur.com/Rm7FT
21:30:16 <Goya> Mind you - it is ironic that government pretends things are in your 'best interest' while working against them.
21:31:19 <Mekkis> N2H4, I understand, but it's still useful when... transporting... livestock...
21:32:50 <N2H4> Livestock. Right.
21:33:13 <Mekkis> Ask Ulzef. He has some slips to sell you
21:34:35 <N2H4> Had enough of submarines honestly.
21:34:57 <Mekkis> I can believe that
21:41:52 <N2H4> I think the most fun I really had on it was getting lost in the engine room.
21:42:13 <Mekkis> you got lost on a submarine?
21:42:22 <Mekkis> I didn't think they were that big
21:42:50 <N2H4> Lost may be the wrong word. Exploring is better I think.
21:43:44 <N2H4> No, they aren't that big, but theres plenty of interesting spots in the engineroom it takes a bit of gymnastics and contortion to get into.
21:56:07 <Mekkis> did they make you sign anything that says you're not allowed to talk about stuff?
22:00:13 <N2H4> Gotta keep some secrets.
22:04:51 <N2H4> It cracks me up how every tv show and movie that involves military and shows a computer has some crazy fancy OS and UI.
22:06:15 <Mekkis> http://www.galactanet.com/comic/view.php?strip=163
22:06:36 <Mekkis> like that?
22:07:33 <N2H4> Pretty much.
22:12:02 <N2H4> Its especially sharp when they show military computers as something amazingly cool.
22:12:14 <N2H4> Last I checked the US Navy was still using windows 2000.
22:12:17 <Farang> Okay, trapped here again for a while..
22:13:33 <N2H4> So whats the difference between Farang and Falang. The words, I mean.
22:16:04 <Farang> Farang is the real word, falang is how the Thai people say it since they screw up the r sound.
22:17:11 <Farang> Both just mean, roughly, 'foreigner'. Originally I think it just meant French people.
22:18:10 <N2H4> Learn something new every day.
22:19:15 <Farang> Though I think they say it with more distaste
22:23:22 <N2H4> I think you mentioned that it was derogatory.
22:24:25 <Farang> Well... Hard to judge. They have no problem talking about you in Thai with you standing right there.. It feels derogatory.
22:25:41 <Farang> Hard to say if that's cultural or what, but no farang ever felt like they respect you... Unless they were an idiot.
22:30:54 <Farang> A Thai person obviously is at fault in a car accident with a farang, the farang is always at fault, period.
22:32:25 <N2H4> It was kinda like that in Hawaii too.
22:36:07 <N2H4> A sailor I knew was hitting on the wrong Hawaiian girl in a club. In hindsight its easy to tell she was the wrong girl. Her male protectors put him in a coma by fracturing his skull.
22:40:04 <Farang> I can easily see that happening here. Esp. Since the girls commonly want farang men, we treat our women better and have more money. I've heard girls say that, so of course it pisses the men off.
22:42:07 <N2H4> You know, I've heard the same about Australian women. I'm tempted to think its got little to do with location and more to do with the grass being greener on the other side.
22:42:07 <Steven> hey hey
22:42:31 <N2H4> And stories about events from friends casting said events in a better light than the truth.
22:42:33 <Steven> i got hit with a migraine so i took a nap... whats goin on?
22:43:26 <N2H4> Not too much. We're philosophizing. Or something like that.
22:43:58 <Mekkis> rules question: the FAQ states that animals "could be purchased with Light Armor Proficiency as one of its feats (swapping out Endurance or Skill Focus respectively) for the same cost."
22:44:27 <Mekkis> would this extend to animals other than horses or dogs?
22:44:37 <Steven> whats the faq say
22:44:47 <Mekkis> Handle Animal: Does training an animal using Handle Animal to be Combat Trained (pg 98 in the Core Rulebook) grant it Light Armor Proficiency?
22:44:47 <Mekkis> No, using Handle Animal to train an animal, or mount, in this way does not grant it a free bonus feat. It is not unreasonable, however to assume that an animal specifically designed to be ridden (such as a horse or dog) could be purchased with Light Armor Proficiency as one of its feats (swapping out Endurance or Skill Focus respectively) for the same cost.
22:44:47 <Mekkis> —Jason Bulmahn, 10/21/10
22:44:56 <Steven> also, that sounds interesting hydra
22:45:30 <Farang> The day Battle Cattle became a reality!
22:45:32 <Mekkis> that predates Animal Archive by over two years though
22:46:04 <Steven> well i suggest you do a search on paizo forums and if its not there go ahead and make a thread
22:46:13 <N2H4> I would think yes, but expect the extra pricetag on exotic-shape armor to go with it.
22:49:21 * Steven whispers if we're quiety maybe they will go away...
22:49:51 <Mekkis> he PMed me a question last night, when I was asleep
22:52:23 <Farang> War dogs with chainmail sounds good
22:52:44 <Farang> And cute little helmets
22:53:49 <Mekkis> http://media.wizards.com/images/magic/tcg/products/dgm/tiwoirwiixix/40b46ko8z4_EN.jpg
22:55:21 <N2H4> Back in my day, we'd never let an armored bear in the league..
23:00:08 <Mekkis> I've always thought that animal barding looks impressive
23:21:58 <N2H4> ...if you were trying to armor a snake, how would you keep it on?
23:22:22 <N2H4> A chainmail 'sock' and glue seems to be about the best I can come up with.
23:23:46 <Steven> serpents dont have an Armor slot
23:24:10 <Steven> they only have belt eyes and headband slots
23:25:02 <N2H4> and belt is somehow more reasonable than armor?
23:25:35 <Steven> to the designers aparantly
