03:10 <Brunius|M> Mekkis, are there any MBS boxes floating around there?
03:31 <Mekkis> yeah
03:36 <Brunius> Yes
03:44 <Mekkis> Attention sent me an invoice.
05:40 <Mekkis> these eggs aren't obeying the laws of physics properly
11:42 <Mekkis> Blasticka: so, now that I've paid attention, what were you saying?
33:35 <longshot> hey guys and gals whats up
39:01 <Blasticka> sorry had to talk to parents on skype. I think I figured it out, we gained 509 gold, and I had spent 140 or so of my 150, so that left me at 518 total gold I was just confused at the way it was put there when Avatar finished our game
39:12 <Blasticka> now we are off to the library I will see you all laters!
43:52 <Blasticka> sorry had to do a bio break
44:31 <Blasticka> I was going to say, anyone up for a pickup game? :-D wink wink nudge nudge. but only you are paying attention and that's not enough people.
32:36 <Steven> you know what avatar!
32:47 <Steven> im mad at you
33:03 <Steven> damn it... i got nothing after that.
40:10 <spider21b> hi!

17:13 <***> Playback Complete.
19:12 <Mekkis> he's a sporger
32:37 Longshot has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
01:25 <Avatar> Blasticka: you started with 150
01:30 <Avatar> added 509 from that mission
01:39 <Avatar> then you subtract whatever you spent from character creation
06:16 <Avatar> good one
07:28 <kapow> someone should run a game now
09:02 <Avatar> yeah, you
13:50 <Brunius|M> That's what he said
19:19 <Steven> gotta love rules lawyers
19:28 <Steven> they make the game so much more interesting
23:46 <Steven> had a player tell me it was okay to cast a spell and then run around for a day doing shit without ever touching anything
23:58 <Steven> and because it was RAW theres nothing i could do about it
24:43 <Steven> and i told him, no and he got all pissy.
25:48 <Steven> and then we got into an argument about frostbite spell
26:00 <Blasticka> since I'm still level 1, can I change one of my cantrips?
26:22 <Steven> what class are you?
26:28 <Blasticka> Sorcerer
26:38 <Blasticka> I've played one scenario now
26:47 <Steven> eh.... i wouldnt really worry about it.
27:05 <mortician> the heart spell is worse it controls their fate
27:11 <Blasticka> meaning go for it, or don't bother?
27:17 <mortician> if they fail the task
27:45 <mortician> grave robbers
27:49 <mortician> no shit
28:54 <mortician> duration of organs got better for them and worse for the failures
30:32 <Brunius|M> Mortician is a troll
30:39 <Brunius|M> Just ignore him
31:05 <Steven> hes a troll bot
32:04 <Brunius|M> Blast: Up until your first scenario in level 2, you can change whatever you like
32:04 <Brunius|M> From what I understand
33:35 <Brunius|M> Steven, are there any mirrodin besieged boxes left where you are?
33:41 <Steven> yeah
36:55 <MekkisScreen> hi Kapow
39:34 <kapow> hey mekk
39:41 <kapow> what time again tomorrow night?
39:49 <kapow> you get in 9:30?
40:11 <MekkisScreen> yeah
40:15 <MekkisScreen> plus customs
40:19 <Avatar> mekkis have you played the fiend scenarios yet
40:37 <Avatar> aren't you in australia
40:43 <MekkisScreen> what do you think about me running Mantis' prey next Tuesday, Kapow..
40:46 <MekkisScreen> no
40:49 <MekkisScreen> and no
41:06 <Avatar> I might be able to play one of them soon
41:08 <kapow> I will play it ^_^
41:13 <kapow> you need somewhere to run it?
41:14 <Avatar> if so I will GM it
41:41 <MekkisScreen> maybe... one of the players over here is going to Brisbane next week...
41:49 longshot ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
42:00 <longshot> is anyone around for a quick pfs question?
42:16 <MekkisScreen> so I'm trying to arrange to have something ran.
42:45 <Blasticka> I'm having trouble finding a list of the different deities. my wife is considering making a cleric and changing our plans so we can both play thursday morning
43:11 <kapow> I am down man
43:21 <kapow> whats the level for it?
43:26 <longshot> nvm answered it myself
43:31 <Avatar> 7-11
43:47 <Avatar> kapow do you ever plan to run among the living or among the gods
44:01 <MekkisScreen> he does
44:23 <kapow> I can run all 3 ^_^
44:28 <MekkisScreen> kapow, it's a 7-11, but a very long game, potentially
44:53 <MekkisScreen> oh, I played Our Lady of Silver, so that's on my Able To Run list...
44:59 <kapow> well I'll be playing henry then
45:38 <MekkisScreen> has henry done much shadow lodge stuff?
47:00 <Avatar> I am keen for living and gods
47:10 <Avatar> and have been avoiding running dead cause you said you wanted to run them
48:22 <MekkisScreen> Avatar, will you be running Everwar 3?
48:35 <Avatar> yeah I can
48:49 <Avatar> I'm fine with running any 5-9 or 7-11 that I've played
49:02 <Steven> theres one up in my closet
49:27 <Avatar> I am really really really keen to get way of the kirin and rivalry's end done before mid august
49:35 <Avatar> the next 2 months are going to fly by
49:47 <MekkisScreen> want me to run Way of the Kirin then?
49:55 <Avatar> yes please
50:10 <Avatar> have you played it
50:22 <MekkisScreen> I assume you don't want me to run it on Sun 23rd?
50:24 <MekkisScreen> yes.
50:47 <Yiroep> :)
50:58 <longshot> was about potions
51:10 <Avatar> sunday 23rd is okay
51:14 <longshot> can't buy level 2 spells in potions until i have 5 prestige points
51:19 <longshot> or fame, i mean
51:23 <Yiroep> Mmhmm.
51:24 <longshot> which is one more scenario
51:41 <MekkisScreen> Kapow, I got a bunch of the cards you were after
51:47 <Avatar> andrei is trying to push one last 7-11 and eyes of the ten in during july and I think that's going to sting with trying to get way and rivalry in
51:49 <kapow> Henry has been in a few but not too many
51:52 <Yiroep> Also no personal potions, like false life.
51:56 <Yiroep> Evar.
52:05 <longshot> because my party last game almost died a terrible death from a darrow with darkness at will.
52:20 <longshot> we would have been destroyed if the dm hadn't been nice about it
52:21 <MekkisScreen> Avatar, schedule it then. Unless you're not going to let me.
52:27 <Yiroep> Heh.
52:43 <kapow> woot :D
52:55 <Avatar> I see what you did there
53:04 <MekkisScreen> what's a good time
53:07 <Yiroep> At Giga?
53:11 <longshot> So i was hoping to get a darkvision potion and a see invisibility potion while at it
53:16 <longshot> no it was here actually
53:16 <Avatar> 9
53:19 <MekkisScreen> or do you want me to ditch the Thursday game?
53:19 <Avatar> ish
53:27 <longshot> saturday morning in aus/friday night for me
53:31 <longshot> Avatar was the GM
53:31 <Avatar> I'm not going to be free on thursday morning
53:34 <Yiroep> Oh, that.
53:36 <MekkisScreen> ok, put it down for 9.30.
53:45 <Avatar> 10's fine if you want it a bit later
53:55 <Avatar> Blasticka: it's under cleric
54:01 <longshot> well i have to go get ready for work. ciao!
54:01 <MekkisScreen> Avatar: I know, but you don't like a single person scheduling more than one game.
54:02 <Avatar> do you have a core rulebook
54:03 longshot has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
54:31 <MekkisScreen> so if I need to ditch the Thursday game to make room for the Sunday one, I will
55:40 <MekkisScreen> should I try and print and prey Way of the Kirin on the plane?
58:07 <Avatar> mekkis are you about
58:13 <Avatar> mirc decided to switch to a dvorak keyboard
58:18 <Avatar> I'm not running anything this coming weekend
58:31 <Avatar> it's fine, I don't plan to run anything this weekend, and I don't think steven or ballig or wrothmonk plan to either
58:41 <kapow> mekk text me on my mobile when you land yeah
58:50 <Avatar> and we know kapow certainly isn't !
58:56 <kapow> what now?
59:02 <Avatar> running any games anytime soon
59:11 <kapow> well not this weekend anyway
59:13 <kapow> I have wotw
59:21 <Avatar> so does mekkis
59:26 <kapow> then I have twilight imperium sunday
59:27 <Blasticka> I am using the core rulebook on the paizo site I don't own a hard copy
59:36 <kapow> thats both my days gone
59:56 <Avatar> yeah the PDF is fine
00:04 <Avatar> classes > cleric
00:06 <MekkisScreen> turns out Singapore Zoo has a bunch of lemurs in it.
01:49 <Blasticka> I will look more closely
01:50 <Avatar> p43
06:22 <kapow> XP
06:26 <kapow> did mort have to show you that?
13:42 <Avatar> Blasticka: which core rulebook on the paizo site
13:46 <Avatar> do you mean the PRD
15:57 kapow has quit (Quit: Leaving)
19:17 <Blasticka> the pathfinder roleplaying reference guide
23:12 <Avatar> that's the PRD
23:17 <Avatar> you won't find the deities in there
23:59 <Avatar> which is kind of interesting, how do you play a cleric if you need a deity and they don't provide any
24:17 <Brunius> by buying their book
24:40 <Avatar> what if you're the GM
24:50 <Avatar> how do you prove that it's a real deity
24:50 <Brunius> you should own every hardcover book in their range already
26:19 <Avatar> do you
26:55 <Brunius> No, but I believe that's their stance on GMs and book ownership
27:24 <Brunius> I own most of the important stuff in the hardcover range
27:57 <Avatar> yeah but you cheated didn't you
28:03 <Brunius> Might have.
28:13 <Avatar> run a game
28:18 <Brunius> Why.
28:25 <Avatar> I'll run one for you
28:35 <Brunius> sounds like a bad deal to me
28:41 <Avatar> ok mekkis will run one for you
29:07 <Brunius> Why will this change my opinion
29:19 <Brunius> I was actually considering running  a game but now that you're pushing for it I think I won't
29:46 <Avatar> why lie
30:02 <Brunius> Besides, I don't own any 1-5 scenarios
30:27 <Avatar> steven will get you one
30:33 <Avatar> if you can't afford one
30:45 <Blasticka> can I play?
30:51 <Avatar> if he won't I will have a chat to our good friend mike
31:29 <Brunius> You and your mafia connections
31:37 <Blasticka> what's the deity for the healing domain power, that's what she is interested in.
31:59 <Avatar> you can't actually take a deity without the book
35:55 <Blasticka> well I guess she won't be a cleric then lol
36:39 <Avatar> what alignment are you
36:53 <Blasticka> Ceybur is chaotic good
37:05 <Avatar> isn't ceybur a wizard
39:22 <Blasticka> no a sorceror
40:51 <Avatar> sarenrae is NG with healing domain
00:00 <Steven> i think on monday im going to go over to moscow and GM a game at the shop there
00:14 S711 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
00:22 S711 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
07:58 <Steven> well my sunday is your monday
08:31 <Steven> 5 game days till paizo
08:39 <Steven> puts me at 91/100 tables
08:44 <Steven> i need to pick up....
08:54 <Steven> 6 games
09:00 <Mekkis> I'm at about 75
09:03 <Steven> or all the first steps and a module.
09:26 <Mekkis> but I'm probably running something tonight
09:30 <Mekkis> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HP-Color-LaserJet-9500hdn-Laser-Printer-w-MFP-3000-Sheet-Stapler-Stacker-A3-/330933109143?pt=AU_PRINTERS&hash=item4d0d268197
09:35 <Mekkis> worth buying?
09:54 * Steven shrugs
10:05 <***> Buffer Playback...
10:05 <***> Playback Complete.
10:18 <Mekkis> not sure if I have room for a 160kg office laser printer
10:20 <Steven> do you plan on printing a core rulebook anytime soon?
10:39 <Mekkis> nope: I printed one in 2009, and got Buhlman to sign it.
12:50 <Mekkis> Steven, do you have Ultimate Campaign?
12:51 <Avatar> sell it
12:56 <Mekkis> ok
13:03 <Mekkis> Avatar, $30 and its yours.
13:12 <Avatar> not to me
13:15 <Avatar> I won't pay a cent for it
13:15 <Mekkis> oh
13:24 <Mekkis> Blasticka, $AU30 + shipping and it's yours.
13:31 <Avatar> I'd pay as much as a regular core rulebook for it, if I didn't have one
13:39 <Mekkis> really?
13:40 <Avatar> it's worth no more
13:46 <Mekkis> it's thicker.
13:52 <Avatar> oh, that's worse
13:55 <Avatar> I would expect a discount
14:04 <Mekkis> $AU30 IS a discount
14:13 <Avatar> more of a discount
14:28 <Mekkis> make me a counteroffer
14:38 <Avatar> $0, I already have a core rulebook
14:48 <Avatar> if I didn't have one, maybe $5
14:52 <Mekkis> make a diplomacy check
15:01 <Avatar> I don't know why I would want to carry around a thicker rulebook unless it was really worth my while
15:10 <Avatar> !roll 1d20+2
15:10 <dicebot> Avatar, 1d20+2: [1d20=9] 11
15:17 <Mekkis> no deal :p
15:39 <Avatar> what if I got a nat 20
15:51 <Mekkis> might work
15:59 <Avatar> a nat 20 *might* work?
16:04 <Avatar> that seems like cheating
16:11 <Mekkis> I don't have Ultimate campaign
16:20 <Avatar> yeah I have no idea what's in it
16:20 <Mekkis> it covers the bargaining rules
16:25 <Avatar> people talk about rebuild rules that are PFS legal
16:44 <Avatar> I can't find a pirate copy either to get a preview
17:07 <Steven> yes mekkis i have ultimate camp
17:08 <Mekkis> I suggest Pirate Bay
17:14 <Mekkis> I found it there.
17:21 <Avatar> just send it to me
17:21 <Mekkis> tell me if it's real
17:56 <Mekkis> magnet:?xt=urn:btih:069d2dc45683e14d9ad7d13cf64775f68d65288e&dn=Pathfinder+-+Ultimate+Campaign+PDF&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337
18:00 <Mekkis> there you are
18:36 <Avatar> how do you use a magnet link
18:39 <Mekkis> Steven, I suggest you download it and report the watermark
18:51 <Mekkis> open a torrent client, and go Open URL
18:54 <Steven> its not my job to police
19:03 <Steven> you're more than welcome to do so though
19:11 <Avatar> report that it might make me a buyer
19:41 <Steven> i do however think you shouldnt pirate it and actually purchase the book 
19:58 <Mekkis> Steven, is it worth buying?
19:59 <Steven> since it supports paizo and the more money they make the more product they can afford to put out.
20:10 <Avatar> good on you steven you're a good advocate
20:32 <Mekkis>  I just gave paizo 3.99
20:48 <Steven> yes i saw
20:52 <Avatar> no you'll notice he was careful with his wording
20:53 <Mekkis> you can see that?
21:09 <Avatar> he's not allowed to say it's okay to pirate it because he's a paizo volunteer
21:34 <Avatar> which he doesn't have to confirm or deny
21:41 <Avatar> perhaps I'm wrong
21:58 <Avatar> that torrent doesn't work
22:23 <Mekkis> Avatar, what you should do is download it, replace the watermark with Steven's, then upload it somewhere!
22:39 <Avatar> to be a dick?
22:48 <Avatar> what would that accomplish
23:10 <Mekkis> an email to Steven :)
23:35 <Mekkis> This adventure makes use of the following Pathfinder
23:35 <Mekkis> Roleplaying Game products: the Pathfinder RPG Core
23:35 <Mekkis> Rulebook, the Pathfinder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide
23:35 <Mekkis> (APG), Pathfinder RPG Bestiary (B1), the Pathfinder Bestiary
23:35 <Mekkis> 3 (B3), Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Combat (UC), and Pathfinder
23:36 <Mekkis> RPG Ultimate Equipment (UE). 
23:38 <Mekkis> Sigh.
23:39 <Avatar> neither funny nor productive
23:48 <Steven> yes, please do that so i can get in massive amounts of trouble... cause i totes wouldnt throw this conversation up to brock and launch a cursade to get your PFS number banned.
23:52 <Brunius> Seems pretty expensive
23:54 <Mekkis> please tell me that Season 5 will not require me to do all that.
24:18 <Steven> do what mekkis?
24:33 <Mekkis> apply templates and BS to monsters.
24:46 <Steven> i havent seen the season 5 scenarios yet.
24:51 <Mekkis> look, if there's a security issue, you shouldn't shoot the messenger... You should fix it.
25:00 <Mekkis> Does 4-EX require that?
25:12 <Avatar> ashley is running way of the kirin on sunday
25:19 <Avatar> andrei ran it today
25:24 <Steven> iunno
25:25 <Avatar> those are just the regular books though
25:30 <Avatar> except maybe bestiary 3
25:32 <kapow> so mekk when you land tomorrow you are going to text me
25:37 <Mekkis> yeah
25:42 <Mekkis> I'll text you when I land
25:43 <kapow> and I am going to wait 5-10 minutes then come get you
25:49 <kapow> and that should give you time to clear customs
25:49 <Avatar> it's not a colossal amount of extra work
25:52 <Mekkis> that's cool.
26:11 <Steven> all of it is in the core assumption
26:17 <kapow> And I'll pick you up where i dropped you off. Cause I don't want to pay for parking XP
26:22 <Mekkis> that's cool
26:48 <Mekkis> Steven, I know it is, but it's unnecessary extra work
27:00 <Brunius> Avatar, Mekkis, got any spare hard drives lying around?
27:01 <Mekkis> especially as sometimes the templates are applied incorrectly.
27:04 <Steven> no, its better for PFS
27:06 <Mekkis> Brunius, yep!
27:17 <Mekkis> Steven, explain your reasoning.
27:20 <Steven> because if they can tell people hey this monster is a young version of this creature
27:34 <Steven> and not have to include all stat blocks
27:42 <Steven> it means they can add more content to a scenario
27:46 <Avatar> any spare hard drives I have are hooked up with data on them
27:46 <Mekkis> why?
28:03 <Mekkis> you can add more content and all the stat blocks....
28:19 <Steven> scenarios are capped at X amount of pages, if you take up half a page with a stat block thats half a page of information you dont get to add
28:49 <Mekkis> Well get rid of the two pages of ads at the end of the scenario are replace them with two pages of statblocks.
28:51 <Mekkis> Everyone wins!
29:16 <Steven> so the more things they can say, this is an Advanced Reefcrawler that attacks the least armored target the better
29:32 <Steven> those are not included in the X amount of space.
29:39 <Steven> those are added by the marketing department
29:45 <Brunius> I think I need to throw more challenges at my party
29:52 <Mekkis> Sure, so rather than reading the content and working out how to run the scenario well and properly...
30:15 <Mekkis> you're reapplying all the templates that the scenario writer has already built, and hoping that you get the same thing...
30:54 <Steven> You'll have to trust me when i say its a good thing.  I cannot go into more detail.
31:23 <Mekkis> What about when the scenario writer doesn't apply the template properly?
32:13 <Avatar> make it up
32:21 <Steven> improv that shit
32:23 <Mekkis> example: tier 3-4 boss of Sanos Abduction.
32:44 <Mekkis> Sure, so now you've got table variation which can REALLY skew the outcome.
32:57 <Steven> deal with it...
33:02 <Steven> no gaming system is perfect
33:28 <Avatar> run as written keeps coming up on the boards and it seems they expect table variation
33:38 <Avatar> like even beyond RAW
33:45 <Avatar> rules*
33:48 <Mekkis> or at least make the statblocks the scenario writer intended available.
34:10 <Avatar> run as written seems to be there just to protect against people wanting to add a monster to make it hard enough for the party
34:17 <Avatar> anything else seems fair play
34:30 <Steven> they expect things beyond table variation because some GMs like to increase stat block beyong what was designed
34:32 <Mekkis> including applying templates incorrectly?
34:42 <Mekkis> Steven, are you, as a VO, required to not be critical of anything Paizo does?
34:44 <Avatar> as best you can
35:12 <Steven> i am allowed to voice my opinion on things however i see fit so long as i dont attack individuals
35:34 <Steven> or say bad things
35:43 <Mekkis> "bad things"?
35:48 <Steven> like oh so and so player sucks the fattest cock ever, hate that gay fucker
35:56 <Steven> thats bad.
36:36 <Steven> so, basically when im acting in my role as VL
36:44 <Steven> i keep it PG13 if i can.
36:47 <Mekkis> ooh... my event code is palindromic!
37:03 <Mekkis> how do you run In Wrath's Shadow then?
37:14 <Steven> mine was close... only a few off.
37:49 <Mekkis> 27572
38:31 <Steven> which one is in wraths shadow
38:48 <Mekkis> the one where you go into a dungeon full of bodies suspended by wires
38:59 <Mekkis> and people in various sadomasochistic poses
39:01 <Steven> ah yeah.
39:14 <Steven> i said if i can.
39:24 <Steven> like i wouldnt run that if there was a 7 year old at the table.
39:32 <Steven> i'd inform the table i was making a switch.
39:34 <Mekkis> fair enough
39:48 <Steven> same with mrs feathers
40:00 <Mekkis> Which Mrs Feathers. Season 1 or Season 4?
40:10 <Steven> i would probably switch to we be gobbies, frostfur captives, or rise of the goblin guild
40:21 <Steven> kids love goblins
42:31 <Steven> last game of rise of the goblin guild
42:48 <Steven> paladin of sarenrae
42:50 <Mekkis> start them on Goodall, end them on Goodall :)
43:12 <Steven> almost killed the goblin at the start
43:15 <Steven> with the skull
43:44 <Steven> after she surrendered
43:53 <Steven> because she wouldnt stop hugging his leg
45:35 <Steven> and he detected to see if she was evil
45:40 <Steven> totes evil.
45:50 <Steven> and he was like, ill kill it i draw my sword
46:02 <Steven> and i was like, are you sure you want to kill a creature that has surrendered to you?
46:43 <Steven> he got the message and was like... fuck gotta wait till it turns on us
46:45 <Steven> and it never did
48:18 <Steven> he was so sad
50:31 <Steven> hey

10:08 <Mekkis> xchat can be regedited

11:52 <kapow> I was curious about it
11:59 <kapow> what I use to just do with mIRC
12:10 <kapow> then they made it not even care if it went past trial
12:19 <kapow> you just waited a little longer to click okay
12:31 <Mekkis> sure
12:34 <kapow> this locked me out when i went to get on and i tried it and it worked
12:38 <Mekkis> but xchat's FOSS, right?
13:01 Brunius is now known as Brunius|M
13:16 <kapow> FOSS?
13:29 <Mekkis> Free Open Source Software
13:41 <Brunius> Yup
13:50 <kapow> if you just download the client not the open source it's 30 day trial
13:59 <kapow> and then it locks you out until you pay $20
14:04 <kapow> or regedit it apparently
14:14 <Mekkis> so you compile it yourself
14:21 <Mekkis> or you use the version that is free
14:23 <Brunius> or get x-chat 2...
14:40 <Mekkis> or run the linux version
14:41 <Mekkis> :S
15:49 <Mekkis> kapow, or use http://www.silverex.org/news/
15:59 <Mekkis> aka xchat2 for windows, the free version
20:37 <kapow> or you know i've regedited it already
20:47 <kapow> so i won't have to worry about it until 2069
21:02 <kapow> or if i ever reinstall it cause of a format or some shit
22:33 <Mekkis> heh

42:52 <longshot> is anyone around for a quick pfs question?
44:18 <longshot> nvm answered it myself
51:39 <Yiroep> :)
51:50 <longshot> was about potions
52:06 <longshot> can't buy level 2 spells in potions until i have 5 prestige points
52:11 <longshot> or fame, i mean
52:15 <Yiroep> Mmhmm.
52:16 <longshot> which is one more scenario
52:44 <Yiroep> Also no personal potions, like false life.
52:48 <Yiroep> Evar.
52:57 <longshot> because my party last game almost died a terrible death from a darrow with darkness at will.
53:12 <longshot> we would have been destroyed if the dm hadn't been nice about it
53:19 <Yiroep> Heh.
53:59 <Yiroep> At Giga?
54:03 <longshot> So i was hoping to get a darkvision potion and a see invisibility potion while at it

43:37 <MekkisScreen> kapow, it's a 7-11, but a very long game, potentially
48:12 <keht> not bad
48:14 <keht> and you?
49:30 <keht> figured I would stop by and see how those across the world did it :)
49:42 <Longshot> Stellar, if you ignore the aching feet. New shoes and hard floor to work on makes Jack a Dull boy.

21:41 Steven ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
24:37 <Steven> so....
24:40 <Steven> i TPK
24:45 <Steven> TPK'd a group tonight
25:29 <Avatar> good one
25:31 <Avatar> what scenario
25:41 Blasticka ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
25:51 <Steven> i could have killed every person like 2-3 times each. instead i got them all down to negative, and then grabbed the success condition, and bounced.
25:58 <Steven> Echoes of the Overwatched
26:02 <Steven> 3-07
26:02 <Avatar> was it your fault or theirs
26:11 <Steven> teir 1-2
26:15 <Avatar> how do you TPK a party in that scenario
26:23 <Avatar> oh that might do it
26:25 <Steven> theirs... plus my dice
26:32 <Avatar> your dice is retarded
26:34 <Avatar> are*
26:39 <Steven> i switched dice
26:59 <Steven> after the 5th or 6th nat 20
27:40 <Steven> i converted it from a TPK to just one death
28:06 <Steven> cause one person stood next to some water with the aquatic thing
28:17 <Steven> so she popped up, attack
28:19 <Steven> attack
28:29 <Steven> dropped em, grabbed em and swam away to eat
28:55 <Steven> party was like.... fuck
29:00 <Steven> two people did nothing
29:17 <Steven> one was an alchemist who didnt have anywhere to throw bombs without hitting team mates
29:39 <Avatar> nice
29:40 <Steven> one was the premade ninja who just... didnt do anything
29:54 <Avatar> why weren't they doing anything, what was wrong with them
30:00 <Steven> new player
30:07 <Steven> i suggested several courses of action
30:10 <Avatar> "okay it's the new guy's turn, what od you do"
30:15 <Avatar> "hmmm, I just stand there I guess"
30:16 <Blasticka> hey guys. I'm sorry about the thursday morning game I just can't seem to make it work
30:44 <Steven> and they instead just were like, i cant do anything
30:50 <Steven> ill throw a shirken
31:33 <Steven> and i was like, okay just so you are aware.
31:49 <Steven> its swimming, its in melee combat, it has soft cover
31:57 <Steven> its going to be amazingly hard to hit
32:07 <Steven> i dont suggest doing this
32:22 <Avatar> did you say -8 hard to hit
32:25 <Steven> and she was like, well i could look at the pretty mural you mentioned or i can throw a shirken
32:34 <Avatar> like he might have, say, a 15 AC
32:40 <Avatar> or could he not count
32:59 <Steven> with the bonuses AC 24-25
33:17 <Steven> but i cant tell people the AC of the monster.
33:38 <Avatar> no but if someone is way out there with what they're doing, you have to paint a picture so they get it
33:45 <Steven> oh we were.
34:03 <Avatar> I would give rough numbers of a typical monster
34:08 <Avatar> not the number of the monster
34:18 <Steven> her boyfriend was helping her, buthe was the alchemist
34:25 <Avatar> a newbie has no idea what kind of AC to hit
34:36 <Steven> and so... party death first fight.
35:00 <Steven> next floor... hard combat because they had real problems hitting it.
35:09 <Steven> lots of 2-3s
35:43 <Steven> and then the last fight, open up with an attack on the healer
36:08 <Steven> paralyzed, 2 rounds
36:17 <Steven> every round i paralyzed someone
36:27 <Steven> until they were all negative HP
36:52 <Steven> at which point i could have couped all of them
36:57 <Steven> eaten some brains
37:06 <Steven> and trollolololed all the way home
37:26 <Avatar> nice
37:32 <Steven> but i was nice.
37:36 <Steven> so they all went negative
37:46 <Steven> the dude grabbed the item he was lookin for and bounced
38:38 <Avatar> left his party to die?
38:53 <Avatar> or do you mean the bad guy
38:59 <Steven> the baddie
39:04 <Avatar> gotcha
39:56 <Steven> yeah... rough night
40:33 <Steven> and oh man, the girl i killed
41:27 <Steven> i could tell she was to the point of wanting to throw shit at the other people at the table
42:02 <Steven> also, had to 'educate' the people on how to carry ammunition
42:51 <Steven> cause a monk was like i move 20 ft, reach into my bag and grab a shirken and then throw it at the guy
42:59 <Steven> and im like.... thats dubs move and a standard
43:11 <Steven> no, shirken count as amunition its a free action to grab em
43:33 <Steven> and im like, yeah, if they are in the quiver... if they are stowed in your bag its a move action that provokes.
43:48 <Steven> sure you dont have them in a quiver type thing already on your person
44:05 <Steven> prompting him to be like, "I sure do Steve!"
44:19 <Steven> and instead he was like no its ammunition its a free action.
44:57 <Steven> I pulled rank on him and was just like, shut up, its in a quiver on your person so you dont have to try to retrieve a stowed item... throw your weapon and look up the rules on retrieving things from backpacks.
45:24 <Steven> i dont get that man.... when a GM is throwing you rope you dont argue with the GM.
46:15 <Avatar> I don't get it
46:22 <Steven> like my first game of PFS ever, i moved up towards an area that was 'too far' away from the party, walter was like hey steve i dont think you wanna go so far away from the party... perhaps you should stick closer to them
46:34 <Steven> i was like... You know walter that sounds like a great idea, thanks for the tip
46:55 <Steven> i placed my mini back where it was
47:03 <Avatar> do shuriken count as ammunition
47:07 <Blasticka> don't you know, you never split the party...
47:12 <Steven> shuriken do count as ammunition
47:16 <Avatar> I've never seen a character with shuriken, never thought about it
47:24 <Avatar> so then isn't it just a standard to throw it
47:35 <Steven> but if its stored in a backpack its counts as a stowed item which is a move action to retrieve
47:50 <Avatar> did he/she know they had to "quiver" them first
47:59 <Avatar> I've never heard of shuriken in a quiver but I have no idea where they would normally be stored
48:01 <Steven> yup
48:07 <Avatar> ninjas just usually have them on their person
48:10 <Steven> in a shirken quiver?
48:18 <Mekkis> not really
48:22 <Avatar> and he knew about shuriken quivers?
48:22 <Blasticka> pouches
48:32 <Mekkis> just in a bunch of pouches on their person
48:35 <Avatar> is that in a book or did you make it up
48:36 <Blasticka> ninjas like pouches
48:43 <Mekkis> I've never heard of a shuriken quiver
49:04 <Mekkis> Avatar, does Buck carry a paper cartridge quiver?
49:17 <Steven> i imagine its a lot like this avatar
49:17 <Avatar> no he just has his bullets on him somewhere
49:18 <Steven> http://salafytobat.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/kunai1.jpg
49:34 <Steven> only it hangs off of their belt or some shit
49:41 <Avatar> I don't specify where exactly, wherever it is that he needs 'em
49:45 <Mekkis> I have a potion quiver!
49:56 <Avatar> explorer's outfit usually covers that kind of garbage
50:04 <Steven> it does indeed avatar
50:44 <Steven> just like a sword usually comes with a scabard/baldric of some kind... i imagine the quiver for shirken is included in the price
51:12 <Mekkis> so if you buy ten shuriken, you get 10 shuriken quivers?
51:25 <Steven> or a shuriken quiver that they all fit into
51:45 <Mekkis> my first D&D character had shuriken
52:23 <Steven> point being is dont tell the GM they are stowed in the backpack and then argue with him when he prompts you to not put them all in the bag so you can throw them as a standard action instead of a move+standard
53:40 <Mekkis> I get around that by saying all my stuff is "somewhere on my person"
54:22 <Avatar> did you specifically tell him all of that
54:22 <Avatar> at the beginning
54:22 <Avatar> not when he went to go and do it
54:22 <Steven> when he went to do it, i told him he should put some in a nondescript quiver when he bought them so as not to neccesitate retrieving as a move action so he could throw them as he intended.
54:26 <Steven> and he immediately went on the defensive hardcore mode.
55:20 <Steven> which is a completely fine answer for things like shurikens, arrow quivers, bolt quivers, bandolears
56:54 <Mekkis> rods dangling from your belt, wands in sheaths, potions on your chest like grenades
57:44 <Mekkis> longspears in a sheath on your back.
58:02 <Steven> those dont work the same since there is specified items that assist in keeping/drawing those items.
58:42 <Steven> because then GMs would have to keep track of where they hit you
58:51 <Steven> and if you have a bunch of potions strapped against your chest
59:04 <Steven> and somebody pegs you with a boulder righ tin the chest... well your potions would break then.
59:14 <Steven> and then you would be calling foul on the GM for targeting your potions
59:18 <Mekkis> I keep my potions in metal flasks
59:26 <Mekkis> or in leather ones.'
59:37 <Steven> still breakable
59:48 <Steven> broke my flask just yesterday...
59:50 <Mekkis> adamantine flasks
59:51 <Steven> super pissed
00:08 <Steven> if you can show me where you purchased those flasks ill be glad to take your word on it.
00:31 <Mekkis> to make something out of adamantine, you need to pay Xgp per pound.
00:37 <Mekkis> Since a flask weighs 0...
01:36 <Mekkis> It's a pity that Pathfinder isn't called Dungeons and Dragons. Otherwise I'd make a comment like "This is Dungeons and Dragons, not Baggage and Bookkeepers"
04:00 <Steven> its both
04:43 <Mekkis> time to give Paizo some money
04:59 <Steven> thats what they like to hear
05:07 <Steven> why whatcha buyin?
05:15 <Mekkis> there goes another $US3.99
05:28 <Steven> a scenario
05:29 <Mekkis> Way of the Kirin
05:39 <Steven> that one is pretty awesome
05:46 <Mekkis> yeah. I'm running it Sunday
05:53 <Blasticka> can you buy the books as pdf downloads?
05:56 <Mekkis> I'll get out my printer on the plane.
06:04 <Mekkis> and print it out at 10000 ft
06:05 <Mekkis> :)
06:14 <Steven> me too mekkis!
06:20 <Mekkis> Blasticka, yeah
06:23 <Mekkis> it's cheaper.
06:38 <Mekkis> Steven, fun fun fun
07:06 <Steven> well my sunday is your monday
07:39 <Steven> 5 game days till paizo
07:47 <Steven> puts me at 91/100 tables
07:52 <Steven> i need to pick up....
08:02 <Steven> 6 games
08:08 <Mekkis> I'm at about 75
08:11 <Steven> or all the first steps and a module.
08:34 <Mekkis> but I'm probably running something tonight
08:38 <Mekkis> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HP-Color-LaserJet-9500hdn-Laser-Printer-w-MFP-3000-Sheet-Stapler-Stacker-A3-/330933109143?pt=AU_PRINTERS&hash=item4d0d268197
08:42 <Mekkis> worth buying?
09:02 * Steven shrugs
09:26 <Mekkis> not sure if I have room for a 160kg office laser printer
09:28 <Steven> do you plan on printing a core rulebook anytime soon?
09:46 <Mekkis> nope: I printed one in 2009, and got Buhlman to sign it.
11:58 <Mekkis> Steven, do you have Ultimate Campaign?
11:59 <Avatar> sell it
12:04 <Mekkis> ok
12:11 <Mekkis> Avatar, $30 and its yours.
12:20 <Avatar> not to me
12:23 <Avatar> I won't pay a cent for it
12:23 <Mekkis> oh
12:32 <Mekkis> Blasticka, $AU30 + shipping and it's yours.
12:39 <Avatar> I'd pay as much as a regular core rulebook for it, if I didn't have one
12:47 <Mekkis> really?
12:48 <Avatar> it's worth no more
12:54 <Mekkis> it's thicker.
13:00 <Avatar> oh, that's worse
13:03 <Avatar> I would expect a discount
13:12 <Mekkis> $AU30 IS a discount
13:21 <Avatar> more of a discount
13:36 <Mekkis> make me a counteroffer
13:46 <Avatar> $0, I already have a core rulebook
13:56 <Avatar> if I didn't have one, maybe $5
14:00 <Mekkis> make a diplomacy check
14:09 <Avatar> I don't know why I would want to carry around a thicker rulebook unless it was really worth my while
14:18 <Avatar> !roll 1d20+2
14:18 <dicebot> Avatar, 1d20+2: [1d20=9] 11
14:25 <Mekkis> no deal :p
14:47 <Avatar> what if I got a nat 20
14:59 <Mekkis> might work
15:08 <Avatar> a nat 20 *might* work?
15:12 <Avatar> that seems like cheating
15:19 <Mekkis> I don't have Ultimate campaign
15:28 <Avatar> yeah I have no idea what's in it
15:28 <Mekkis> it covers the bargaining rules
15:33 <Avatar> people talk about rebuild rules that are PFS legal
15:52 <Avatar> I can't find a pirate copy either to get a preview
16:16 <Steven> yes mekkis i have ultimate camp
16:16 <Mekkis> I suggest Pirate Bay
16:22 <Mekkis> I found it there.
16:29 <Mekkis> tell me if it's real
16:29 <Avatar> just send it to me
17:04 <Mekkis> magnet:?xt=urn:btih:069d2dc45683e14d9ad7d13cf64775f68d65288e&dn=Pathfinder+-+Ultimate+Campaign+PDF&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337
17:08 <Mekkis> there you are
17:44 <Avatar> how do you use a magnet link
17:47 <Mekkis> Steven, I suggest you download it and report the watermark
17:59 <Mekkis> open a torrent client, and go Open URL
18:02 <Steven> its not my job to police
18:11 <Steven> you're more than welcome to do so though
18:19 <Avatar> report that it might make me a buyer
18:49 <Steven> i do however think you shouldnt pirate it and actually purchase the book

18:57 Brunius ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
19:06 <Mekkis> Steven, is it worth buying?
19:07 <Steven> since it supports paizo and the more money they make the more product they can afford to put out.
19:18 <Avatar> good on you steven you're a good advocate
19:40 <Mekkis>  I just gave paizo 3.99
19:56 <Steven> yes i saw
20:00 <Avatar> no you'll notice he was careful with his wording
20:01 <Mekkis> you can see that?
20:17 <Avatar> he's not allowed to say it's okay to pirate it because he's a paizo volunteer
20:42 <Avatar> which he doesn't have to confirm or deny
20:49 <Avatar> perhaps I'm wrong
21:06 <Avatar> that torrent doesn't work
21:30 <Mekkis> Avatar, what you should do is download it, replace the watermark with Steven's, then upload it somewhere!
21:47 <Avatar> to be a dick?
21:56 <Avatar> what would that accomplish
22:17 <Mekkis> an email to Steven :)
22:43 <Mekkis> This adventure makes use of the following Pathfinder
22:43 <Mekkis> Roleplaying Game products: the Pathfinder RPG Core
22:43 <Mekkis> Rulebook, the Pathfinder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide
22:43 <Mekkis> (APG), Pathfinder RPG Bestiary (B1), the Pathfinder Bestiary
22:43 <Mekkis> 3 (B3), Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Combat (UC), and Pathfinder
22:43 <Mekkis> RPG Ultimate Equipment (UE). 
22:45 <Mekkis> Sigh.
22:47 <Avatar> neither funny nor productive
22:56 <Steven> yes, please do that so i can get in massive amounts of trouble... cause i totes wouldnt throw this conversation up to brock and launch a cursade to get your PFS number banned.
23:02 <Mekkis> please tell me that Season 5 will not require me to do all that.
23:26 <Steven> do what mekkis?
23:40 <Mekkis> apply templates and BS to monsters.
23:54 <Steven> i havent seen the season 5 scenarios yet.
23:59 <Mekkis> look, if there's a security issue, you shouldn't shoot the messenger... You should fix it.
24:08 <Mekkis> Does 4-EX require that?
24:32 <Steven> iunno
24:33 <Avatar> those are just the regular books though
24:39 <Avatar> except maybe bestiary 3
24:40 <kapow> so mekk when you land tomorrow you are going to text me
24:44 <Mekkis> yeah
24:49 <Mekkis> I'll text you when I land
24:51 <kapow> and I am going to wait 5-10 minutes then come get you
24:57 <kapow> and that should give you time to clear customs
24:57 <Avatar> it's not a colossal amount of extra work
25:00 <Mekkis> that's cool.
25:19 <Steven> all of it is in the core assumption
25:25 <kapow> And I'll pick you up where i dropped you off. Cause I don't want to pay for parking XP
25:30 <Mekkis> that's cool
25:55 <Mekkis> Steven, I know it is, but it's unnecessary extra work
26:08 <Brunius> Avatar, Mekkis, got any spare hard drives lying around?
26:09 <Mekkis> especially as sometimes the templates are applied incorrectly.
26:13 <Steven> no, its better for PFS
26:14 <Mekkis> Brunius, yep!
26:25 <Mekkis> Steven, explain your reasoning.
26:28 <Steven> because if they can tell people hey this monster is a young version of this creature
26:42 <Steven> and not have to include all stat blocks
26:50 <Steven> it means they can add more content to a scenario
26:54 <Avatar> any spare hard drives I have are hooked up with data on them
26:54 <Mekkis> why?
27:11 <Mekkis> you can add more content and all the stat blocks....
27:27 <Steven> scenarios are capped at X amount of pages, if you take up half a page with a stat block thats half a page of information you dont get to add
27:56 <Mekkis> Well get rid of the two pages of ads at the end of the scenario are replace them with two pages of statblocks.
27:59 <Mekkis> Everyone wins!
28:24 <Steven> so the more things they can say, this is an Advanced Reefcrawler that attacks the least armored target the better
28:40 <Steven> those are not included in the X amount of space.
28:47 <Steven> those are added by the marketing department
28:53 <Brunius> I think I need to throw more challenges at my party
29:00 <Mekkis> Sure, so rather than reading the content and working out how to run the scenario well and properly...
29:23 <Mekkis> you're reapplying all the templates that the scenario writer has already built, and hoping that you get the same thing...
30:02 <Steven> You'll have to trust me when i say its a good thing.  I cannot go into more detail.
30:31 <Mekkis> What about when the scenario writer doesn't apply the template properly?
31:21 <Avatar> make it up
31:29 <Steven> improv that shit
31:31 <Mekkis> example: tier 3-4 boss of Sanos Abduction.
31:52 <Mekkis> Sure, so now you've got table variation which can REALLY skew the outcome.
32:05 <Steven> deal with it...
32:10 <Steven> no gaming system is perfect
32:36 <Avatar> run as written keeps coming up on the boards and it seems they expect table variation
32:46 <Avatar> like even beyond RAW
32:53 <Avatar> rules*
32:56 <Mekkis> or at least make the statblocks the scenario writer intended available.
33:18 <Avatar> run as written seems to be there just to protect against people wanting to add a monster to make it hard enough for the party
33:25 <Avatar> anything else seems fair play
33:38 <Steven> they expect things beyond table variation because some GMs like to increase stat block beyong what was designed
33:40 <Mekkis> including applying templates incorrectly?
33:49 <Mekkis> Steven, are you, as a VO, required to not be critical of anything Paizo does?
33:52 <Avatar> as best you can
34:20 <Steven> i am allowed to voice my opinion on things however i see fit so long as i dont attack individuals
34:42 <Steven> or say bad things
34:50 <Mekkis> "bad things"?
34:56 <Steven> like oh so and so player sucks the fattest cock ever, hate that gay fucker
35:04 <Steven> thats bad.
35:44 <Steven> so, basically when im acting in my role as VL
35:52 <Steven> i keep it PG13 if i can.
35:55 <Mekkis> ooh... my event code is palindromic!
36:10 <Mekkis> how do you run In Wrath's Shadow then?
36:22 <Steven> mine was close... only a few off.
36:57 <Mekkis> 27572
37:39 <Steven> which one is in wraths shadow
37:56 <Mekkis> the one where you go into a dungeon full of bodies suspended by wires
38:07 <Mekkis> and people in various sadomasochistic poses
38:09 <Steven> ah yeah.
38:22 <Steven> i said if i can.
38:32 <Steven> like i wouldnt run that if there was a 7 year old at the table.
38:40 <Steven> i'd inform the table i was making a switch.
38:42 <Mekkis> fair enough
38:56 <Steven> same with mrs feathers
39:08 <Mekkis> Which Mrs Feathers. Season 1 or Season 4?
39:18 <Steven> i would probably switch to we be gobbies, frostfur captives, or rise of the goblin guild
39:29 <Steven> kids love goblins
41:39 <Steven> last game of rise of the goblin guild
41:56 <Steven> paladin of sarenrae
41:58 <Mekkis> start them on Goodall, end them on Goodall :)
42:20 <Steven> almost killed the goblin at the start
42:23 <Steven> with the skull
42:52 <Steven> after she surrendered
43:01 <Steven> because she wouldnt stop hugging his leg
44:43 <Steven> and he detected to see if she was evil
44:48 <Steven> totes evil.
44:58 <Steven> and he was like, ill kill it i draw my sword
45:10 <Steven> and i was like, are you sure you want to kill a creature that has surrendered to you?
45:51 <Steven> he got the message and was like... fuck gotta wait till it turns on us
45:53 <Steven> and it never did
47:26 <Steven> he was so sad
41:21 <Mekkis> I'm around now, Avatar 
11:02 <Longshot> hey all whats up
40:03 <Mekkis> it's a Steven!
