24:38 <Guest> Yay! sent off yet one more e-mail in hopes of getting a chronicle sheet for the game I played a week ago.
40:58 <HTT-Bird> oops
41:00 <Brunius> Got myself stuck in an asteroid and couldn't warp out
41:09 <HTT-Bird> yeah, I know *that* phenomenon
41:21 <HTT-Bird> was it a Veld 'roid by any chance?
41:40 <HTT-Bird> because when I get hung up on asteroids, it always seems to be the Veld rocks that do it
41:46 <Brunius> Don't think so, I'm nearly back at the site so I'll check
41:58 <Brunius> They're the most common, aren't they?
42:00 <HTT-Bird> yep
42:07 <HTT-Bird> and also the biggest
42:49 <Brunius> speaking of internet spaceships, know any good corps for the australian timezone?
43:24 <Brunius> Oh, it was actually minmatar mining station ruins
44:18 <HTT-Bird> oh, funny
44:44 <HTT-Bird> Brunius, I know lots of WH corps really prize AUTZ folk but it sounds like you're a bit low on SP for WH life
44:55 <Brunius> Probably, yeah
44:59 <Brunius> 1.2m atm
46:27 <HTT-Bird> yeah.  you're quite low on SP
46:40 <HTT-Bird> and probably ought to say, take some Agony classes too
46:47 <Brunius> ?
47:04 <HTT-Bird> never heard of the PvP University thing Agony Unleashed runs?
47:27 <Brunius> nope
49:45 <HTT-Bird> ah.
50:19 <HTT-Bird> its a very good, and cheap(!) way to get some basic PvP knowledge and roam experience under your belt
03:44 <BoomerET> I'm waiting on a chronicle sheet from a game I played News Year Day.
04:05 <BoomerET> That's wrong, I got the chronicle sheet, he hasn't recorded it on the Paizo site yet.
05:25 <Guest> Good luck on that one
08:01 <BoomerET> The store isn't too far from here, the guy is a regular I'm pretty sure.
14:15 <Adrian> So I've got a Q: If I play in tomorrow's game, can I use a pre-gen from that level, and then add the rewards to my char when I reach that level?
53:25 <Guest> I'll be interested to find out the answer.
55:07 <BoomerET> Well, it's right in the rulebook. (I don't know where, but probaby in PFS Play Guide.
04:34 <Guest> I know, but…. it's so far away...
04:40 <Guest> And my arm is so tired...
06:06 <BoomerET> :)
06:29 <Adrian> I'm sure I read it somewhere, trying to dig it up.
09:49 <Adrian> if you do not have a character in the correct level range, you may use a Pathfinder Society pregenerated character, available on paizo.com or the 1st- and 7th-level iconic characters on pages 275–297 of the NPC Codex.
10:12 <Adrian> If you play a non-1st-level pregenerated character, you may apply the credit to your character as soon as she reaches the level of the pregenerated character played
10:18 <Steven> ugh....
10:19 <Steven> so...
10:26 <BoomerET> There ya go.
10:31 <Steven> gonna start printing all the stuff for the con here in a bit.
10:42 <Adrian> Interesting. Will go look at those pregens
10:43 <Steven> this special is... driving me mad is a nice way to put it
18:55 <Adrian> alright, well went ahead and signed up for friday.
19:41 <longshot> you already have a 5-9? I thought you were totally new to this.
20:08 <Adrian> Nah, pre-gen.
20:19 <Adrian> I'll add the stats to my char when he hits 7
20:57 <longshot> will this be your first game ever?
21:19 <Adrian> If all pans out, second hopefully. Have played 3.5 before so hoping it's fairly similar in any case.
00:25 <Avatar> yo
00:33 <Adrian> hey
00:52 <Avatar> are you levelupadrian
13:05 <Adrian> You mean on the site? Yeah
13:12 <Avatar> yeah yeah
14:49 <Avatar_> nice
15:51 <Longshot> I think i'm going to channel my obsession in creating new characters into creating a world/campaign for pathfinder.
16:11 <Longshot> Are there any resources besides the dungeonmastery guide that might help with that?
22:11 <Wrothmonk> The bestiary might help.
24:20 <Longshot> Also, if put on a boat and given free reign, do you think most players would choose to lead their characters down a path of becoming pirates, privateers, or pirate hunters?
24:51 <Wrothmonk> This group would be pirates.
25:18 <Brunius> Ulzef didn't even need the boat and free reign
25:26 <Wrothmonk> ^ :P
25:47 <Longshot> If it was up to me I'd probably choose to be a privateer for the govt and only attack ships from countries with which we are at war.
26:07 <Steven> printed off a copy of it, and now i'm printing off all the mobs each teir fights
26:52 <Steven> and adding it after the encounter description
27:20 <Longshot> I'm considering making the map look similar to the spanish main/ gulf area; much like how PFS maps look similar-ish to europe
29:26 <Longshot> OR to be different and because this group is a bunch of aussies I could make it look like the coast of asia, japan, aus, and the other islands in the area :)
29:58 <Steven> should make GMing the Special way easier when it comes time to actually play
32:16 <Longshot> Maybe have the plot line be a revolution against the government across the sea or something
34:33 <Wrothmonk> Sounds fun.
35:02 <Wrothmonk> I'm all for a homebrew. PFS has started to become a little bit restricting for me.
35:21 <Wrothmonk> not for the rules, but the RP.
35:58 <Longshot> yeah, i wouldn't be changing the rule set much, if at all. just making a different world from galorion
36:32 <Wrothmonk> well as long as we aren't railroaded I'm all for it.
39:55 <Longshot> I think the first "mission" of sorts is that all of the characters are crossing the ocean to get to the new world and the crew decides to mutiny and they can choose either to help the crew mutiny or help the captain defend against it 
41:12 <Mekkis> Brunius, I'd play an honest, upstanding merchant :)
41:12 <Mekkis> ;)
45:34 <Wrothmonk> No, really?
45:54 <Wrothmonk> I would have never guessed.
46:27 <Wrothmonk> Would your character happen to discretely transport livestock?
46:40 <Longshot> Yeah, that's the problem with that scenario I guess. Half the party might want to mutiny while the other half might not care to.
47:33 <Brunius> Are they cunningly concealed herds of cows?
56:37 <Mekkis> Longshot, that's what a lawnmower is for
59:07 <Longshot> huh? lawnmower?
59:46 <Mekkis> yeah
00:02 <Mekkis> what you use to Mow The Lawn
00:02 <Mekkis> at night
00:02 <Mekkis> while everyone else is asleep
01:54 <Wrothmonk> Let the party settle their differences. 
02:14 <Wrothmonk> simple.
02:15 <Longshot> Even if settling their differences means killing someone else's character? haha
02:48 <Wrothmonk> Yeah, but let them back in with a different character, somebody from the winning crew.
03:09 <Longshot> That would work too I reckon
03:33 <Wrothmonk> I love the smell of PVP in the morning :P
04:38 <Longshot> Or I could just make the captain a total douche so that everyone actually wants to mutiny
05:07 <Wrothmonk> idk, that kinda removes the pirate option...
05:59 <Mekkis> Or take the third option
06:02 <Wrothmonk> But do what you want, its your world :)
06:14 <Mekkis> what system?
06:18 <Mekkis> why not 3.5e?
06:25 <Avatar> might need to cancel this friday game if we don't get more people
06:36 <Wrothmonk> why not zoidberg? 
06:48 <Brunius> why not not make references to memes?
07:22 <Wrothmonk> http://www.pathfinderdb.com/gamemaster-options/npcs/765-doctor-zoidberg-kraken-bard
07:48 <Mekkis> Why not 3.5e with the Awesome Tome
09:06 <Mekkis> http://code.google.com/p/awesometome/
09:22 <Longshot> OR maybe they were all press ganged into becoming soldiers for their govt's navy
09:43 <Longshot> nd because i know pathfinder better
09:50 <Longshot> less extra books to have to worry about
09:53 <Mekkis> oh
09:57 <Longshot> there's like a million books for 3.5
10:06 <Mekkis> I thought Wrothmonk was running
10:07 <Mekkis> and he's been looking for another system
11:10 <Wrothmonk> I /was/ looking at true sorcery.
11:43 <Wrothmonk> and a combination of that with pathfinder.
20:38 <Wrothmonk> I stopped pursuing it since I was sick of debating it with Mekkis.
21:58 <Mekkis> you never really started pursuing it
22:09 <Wrothmonk> true, it flopped.
23:39 <Wrothmonk> I scheduled a few games, but nobody said yes
24:10 <Avatar> historically, playtests haven't been too popular
35:32 <Steven> alrigh!
35:42 <Steven> time to print out more monsters
42:21 <Steven> im pretty fuckin amazed where they are sourcing monsters from
42:55 <Mekkis> Ballig, are you around?
42:59 <Adrian> WotW? Oh lord another RPG :P
43:13 <Mekkis> ?
43:19 <Mekkis> what do you mean?
43:23 <Mekkis> WotW is a campaign
43:24 <Adrian> (I have to find out about) :P
43:38 <Adrian> Yeah figured that out when I looked it up rofl
47:17 <Adrian> Would love to host a DND 4e thing at some point. I'm pretty confident with that game. (Late bloomer, got to the RPG game post-4E, hoping to try out 3.5 through pathfinder)
48:03 <Mekkis> sure
48:13 <Mekkis> count me out of the 4e though
48:47 <Adrian> Haha, I thought someone might say that 
48:50 <Avatar> yeah same
48:55 <Avatar> mekkis did you play in kadrin's game
49:21 <Avatar> Adrian: this kadrin guy ran a 4e game shortly after it came out and it was a joke
49:21 <Mekkis> I got this letter "Excessive speed over the recently installed speed hump is causing vibration in the building"
49:30 <Mekkis> so drive slower
49:50 <Mekkis> I would think that the solution would be to remove the speed hump.
49:59 <Adrian> Avatar: Aww, that sucks. What happened?
50:49 <Avatar> it was just a garbage game
50:53 <Avatar> we only played one session
51:00 <Avatar> maptool certainly didn't help the cause
52:12 <Mekkis> Avatar, will you be trying Paizo's VTTs?
53:11 <Adrian> Avatar: I'll probably use Roll20. Have heard middling things about MapTools. Haven't used it tho.
53:25 <Avatar> is it coming out anytime this century
53:36 <Mekkis> probably
53:42 <Avatar> did you hear andrei's a VL now
53:53 <Mekkis> no
54:00 <Avatar> announced today
57:10 <Steven> ....... i hate this damned printer
57:14 <Mekkis> does that mean he'll have less time to do character sketches?
58:47 <Avatar> no he will just do them in-game
59:10 <Avatar> somehow melbourne is getting a ton of new players and we have no new GMs
59:33 <Avatar> I'm going in on sunday as well as this friday game, breaking my rule
59:47 <Mekkis> then you'd better step up and GM, Avatar :)
00:03 <Mekkis> my local VL wants me to get my fourth star asap
00:04 <Mekkis> :S
00:24 <Avatar> why
00:29 <Avatar> do you get something at 4 stars
00:32 <Mekkis> so I can run exclusives
00:39 <Avatar> oh right
00:54 <Avatar> exclusives are a bit annoying
00:57 <Avatar> like what's the point
02:03 <Mekkis> a reward for making 4 stars :S
02:20 <Mekkis> I wonder what proportion of 4-5 star GMs AREN'T VOs...
02:52 <Avatar> EH
03:09 <Avatar> I've seen a 2-star VO
03:26 <Mekkis> by the time you run 100 games, it's probable that someone's made you a VO
03:37 <Avatar> not sure
03:45 <Avatar> oh there was that guy uhh
03:53 <Avatar> IronHelixx announced that he'd gotten a 4th star
04:00 <Avatar> in 130 days or something
04:10 <Mekkis> yeah, the proportion is probably increasing, but...
04:31 <Avatar> I can't say I'd mind a 3rd star
04:43 <Mekkis> how close are you?
04:46 <Avatar> I can't remember what it feels like to get another one
04:56 <Avatar> I haven't GM'd in ages, so I'm hardly any closer than I was last time we talked about it
05:02 <Avatar> 51 or something
05:59 <Mekkis> I've got 75 or so
08:51 <Mekkis> time to eat a tomato, Avatar style
18:26 <Avatar> cherry tomatoes?
19:08 <Mekkis> no
19:28 <Avatar> so really it's not time for anything
19:47 <Avatar> or you're making no sense I'm not quite sure which
19:48 <Mekkis> I thought you ate full-size tomatoes like that
20:03 <Avatar> how did you get that idea
20:21 <Mekkis> I thought you said that during a game
20:25 <Mekkis> with snypt
20:38 <Avatar> with cherry tomatoes, maybe
20:41 <Avatar> not full size
25:08 <Mekkis> oh well
25:15 <Mekkis> I'll eat tomatoes Mekkis style
43:46 <Steven> im a quarter way done with all my printing!
54:27 <Steven> around a half!
04:10 <Steven> i was going to make two of these, one for me and one i could hand to someone else.
04:17 <Steven> but.... fuck that...
07:48 <Brunius> Welp
07:53 <Brunius> Just killed four dollars of internet spaceship
26:45 <Avatar> is baldur's gate based of AD&D
26:48 <Avatar> off*
27:19 <Brunius> I think so
28:25 <Avatar> is there no advantage to going half-elf over elf
28:28 <Avatar> what's going on
28:43 <Avatar> elves get 90% immune to charm and shit, half-elves get 30%
28:48 <Avatar> both get infravision
28:53 <Avatar> half-elves get nothing else, elves get a bit more
29:14 <Avatar> it's like this game was made in 1992
30:40 <Brunius> uuuuh
10:57 <Steven> half elfs get skill focus
11:49 <Steven> bout 3/4 done, bout 4 hours till i leave for paizocon fun
24:18 <Avatar> feats don't seem to exist in baulder's gate
52:47 <Adrian> Phew, today was a loooong day. What's up everyone?
55:52 <Steven> Printing out things for Paizocon.
55:57 <Steven> im nearly done!
56:32 <Steven> also, i fuckin hate advanced template....
59:13 <Steven> cant imagine anyone liking this creature though
04:01 <Steven> im getting entirely too good at applying templates.
04:27 <Steven> just applied advanced to a creature, changing all relevant stats, less than a minute
10:34 <Steven> 28 more creatures to print off
12:38 <Adrian> you going to the con Steven? Wow nice.
16:16 <Steven> i'm gming at the con
22:34 <Adrian> oh sweet
40:25 * Yiroep whistles.
53:10 <Ballig> here lassy, come here lassy

37:56 <Goya> I'm afraid it's probably going to be a little slow =) 
38:29 <Goya> Paizocon and the holiday coming up and whatnot.  
38:54 <Goya> This IS a good PFS group though.  Mind you - I've only played once... 
39:36 <BoomerET> I've played 3 times with this group, it's been wonderful.
39:54 <Guest> Right, makes sense
40:21 <Guest> I thought I'd found a nice group before, but there are too many shifty things going on.
42:23 <Goya> Hrm..  I can't say I've actually played anywhere else - trying to get back into pen-and-paper after 15+ years away myself.. 
42:54 <BoomerET> Goya, same here. Raised a family, etc.
43:15 <Guest> I played 3.5 a little in high school, never got any character above level 2. I moved around a lot. Now I'm trying to get back into the scene with Pathfinder, but I live way up in the mountains and there's nobody around.
43:15 <Goya> *nods* 
43:34 <Goya> Hehe.  I live in the middle of nowhere myself. =) 
44:53 <BoomerET> I live within an hours drive of 3-4 game stores that have regular gaming sessions.
45:33 <Guest> Lucky :P
45:53 <Goya> Nice!  I live about 2 hours away.. Not SO bad - but not great either. 
45:55 <BoomerET> I don't have the time to go to any of them :(
45:58 <Guest> There's one gaming store if I drive two hours down into the city. The folks there are a little stand-offish, frankly it wasn't proving to be worth the drive.
46:54 <BoomerET> Probably be easier once they get to know you. Seems game stores are kinda cliquey?
47:21 <BoomerET> Which is crazy by defintion, since it's gaming nerds.

47:28 <***> Buffer Playback...
47:29 <***> Playback Complete.
47:31 <Guest> I was just trying the Roll20 PFS group, but… I dunno… the first game I played with them, I never got a Chronicle sheet and both the GM and the coordinator are ignoring my e-mails, and now a game has mysteriously been canceled due to lack of players when we all signed up and packed the roster a week ago, rife with alternates.
49:06 <Goya> Hrm.. I haven't used roll20 yet... 
49:15 <BoomerET> There's a Fantasy Grounds PFS group
49:38 <BoomerET> I played a game of Dungeon World in Roll20 w/ G+ Hangouts, worked great.
49:39 <Guest> I haven't been able to locate them.
50:04 <Guest> Admittedly roll20 is my first and only experience with VTT, but it was surprisingly fast and easy.
50:14 <BoomerET> I backed a Kickstarter (Tabletop Forge) that folded, and the dev went to work for Roll20, so we all got backer accounts.
50:17 <Guest> Which is a horrible quality in a person, but a great one in software.
56:45 Ziria is now known as Ziria_
57:32 <Goya> *nods* Roll20 gets great reviews. I haven't used it myself.. There's also a Fantasy Grounds group - and Warhorn has a few groups (I think they use Roll20). 
58:38 <Goya> I could have sworn Paizo was supposed to be working on a VTT - but it seems like it might be stalled. Or maybe I'm hallucinating. 
59:29 <Goya> Ah.  Here it is.  A year without much update though: http://paizo.com/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5ldn1&page=2?Paizo-announces-Paizo-Game-Space
59:32 <BoomerET> They're still working on it.
59:36 <Goya> *nods* 
59:45 <BoomerET> One of the Dev's, pmg, is a regular on the Paizo chat channel.
00:08 <Goya> Maybe they'll have some more info at PaizoCon.. 
00:10 <Guest> I saw the article. I figured Paizo would try to compete, although I'm not sure they know what they're getting into
00:28 <Guest> The group I tried last was the roll20 Warhorn group.
00:34 <Goya> The saving grace is that they own the assets - so 'importing' them would be a piece of cake. 
00:44 <Guest> True enough
00:52 <Goya> Oh.. There are a few warhorn groups.. 
01:00 <BoomerET> Many :)
01:02 <Guest> They could have just as easily teamed up with FG, roll20 or another developer.
01:13 <Goya> True. (for both comments)
01:33 <Goya> They seem to have given the nod to HeroLab for character creation. 
01:35 <Guest> Thus far I have found four war horn groups, two of which are ghost towns, one of which is only scheduling high-level stuff right now, and the other which just suspiciously canceled on me.
01:38 <BoomerET> d20pro, MapTools, OpenRPG (Traipse), etc, etc.
02:17 <Guest> They've done everything with Hero Lab except use the actual word "officially sanctioned"
02:28 <Goya> Hrm.. I haven't seen anything really get cancelled around here - though 'base' time is AEST - so it's a little off for those in the US (and EU I imagine). 
02:29 <Guest> or… words.
02:36 <Guest> Phrase, really
02:53 <Guest> I always make sure to write planned games after converting time zones.
03:06 <Guest> I've traveled my whole life so time zones are just a habit to consider.
03:08 <Goya> NOT that games don't run in US or other timeslots. 
05:38 <Guest> I'm just not having much luck
05:55 Ziria ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
06:15 <Guest> At some point I'll just have to accept defeat and…. exercise or something.
07:12 Ziria_ has quit (Quit: leaving)
24:51 <Guest> It seems most of the PFS groups on Warhorn are bare skeletons, with no actual scheduled events or members.
27:17 <Goya> Hehe. Games here are fairly regular - my only complaint would be timeslots - but that's NOT a complaint really. =) 
27:51 <Goya> There are a lot of games in my timeslot - I just happen to be busy - thanks to Murphy's Law. 
28:43 <Goya> Now and again an impromtu game shows up too. 
37:46 <Guest> Sounds like a cool place to hang out ^_^
49:58 <Goya> Hehe. *nods* Indeed.  =) 
08:34 <Guest> So, when folks in this group get together to play, do you tend to use voice or text?
14:06 <Wrothmonk> both
14:29 <Wrothmonk> Usually text for RP voice for combat and questions.
14:49 <Wrothmonk> We also use a bot for looking up spells, magic items, and rolls
15:17 <Guest> Very cool
15:28 <Guest> I find I tend to be more expressive in text than in speech.
15:47 <Wrothmonk> Same here, less stumbling and more confidence. 
15:53 <Guest> So when the group goes 100% voice I clam up and just make my attacks when needed.
19:23 <Wrothmonk> Well we have people who do 100% voice and some who dont.
19:48 <Wrothmonk> generally its a mix but nobody minds.
23:07 <Adrian> !help
23:11 <diebot> Adrian, Commands include !throw, !save, !dist, !chargen, !feat, !spell, !item, !search, !define. Type ??command for more information, eg ??!throw .
11:32 <Blasticka> Hey guys. how goes it?
12:08 <Goya> Not bad.  How go things?
13:25 <Blasticka> got some food poisoning last few days. yucky stuff
15:22 <Wrothmonk> Do you know where you got it from?
15:40 <Blasticka> not positive.
15:56 <Blasticka> probably some bad chicken though, went to a kfc in a questionable part of town
16:02 <Blasticka> tasted fine though
16:28 <Blasticka> afk a minute
16:45 <Wrothmonk> Well most things you get food poisoning from do.
17:51 <Wrothmonk> My dad got it from Chilis restaurant 3 times.
19:04 <Goya> Bleah. 
19:48 <Wrothmonk> Yeah, we don't go there anymore.
23:41 <BoomerET> I've been to Chili's twice, never again.
24:18 <Wrothmonk> Food poisoning or just terrible food?
27:00 <Guest> At Chili's, you don't have to choose.
27:11 <Wrothmonk> :P
28:11 <Goya> I can't say I've ever been there.. Probably a good thing I gather. ;) 
29:07 <Wrothmonk> From my experience, yes.
