04:00:43 <Brunius> Both of which have happened before
04:00:50 <Wrothmonk> Damnit man, I need to sleep!
04:01:17 <CWheezy> its just a spider
04:01:20 <Brunius> Those spiders live in the US too, man
04:01:29 <CWheezy> it just wants to eat some bugs or a small bird or something
04:01:36 <Brunius> It's not like it's an Australia-only phenomenon
04:01:58 <Brunius> That particular species or genus or whatever apparently eats household pests such as cockroaches
04:02:38 <Maestro> So wait… is somebody putting together first steps?
04:02:52 <Wrothmonk> later on yes
04:03:23 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, run something I haven't played for me
04:03:27 <Mekkis> please
04:06:46 <Maestro> When is later on?
04:06:51 <Maestro> It's 1 AM over here
04:09:13 <Wrothmonk> any particular level range?
04:10:09 <Wrothmonk> and you really need to update the scenarios you have run.
04:13:31 <Maestro> First Steps is the scenario you're actually allowed to do over and over again, right?
04:13:36 <Wrothmonk> yes
04:13:36 <Maestro> Just as long as it's always with a new characger
04:13:41 <Wrothmonk> ^
04:13:46 <Maestro> ^_^" Just checking
04:31:53 <Steven> soooo... what up
04:34:38 <Maestro> The inevitability of it all
04:34:55 <Maestro> Our own mortality crushing down upon us
04:35:08 <Wrothmonk> thats not up, thats depressing and down.
04:35:17 <Maestro> Oh.
04:35:18 <Maestro> Right.
04:35:32 <Maestro> Rockstar energy drinks taste like sour Double Bubble
04:39:31 <Steven> there applied some GM credit, new character, level 3
04:39:43 <Steven> character number 19
04:40:47 <Mekkis> Wrothmonk, my "games played" is accurate.
04:41:16 <Wrothmonk> so you don't care if you have already gmed it.
04:41:39 <Mekkis> there are two games I've GMed without playing: Veteran's Vault and Darkest Vengeance
04:41:54 <Avatar> you should play the latter mekkis I hear it's good
04:41:56 <Mekkis> and First Steps I and II, but they don't really count...
04:42:17 <Mekkis> would you run it for me, Avatar?
04:42:24 <Avatar> no
04:42:26 <Avatar> you would metagame
04:42:44 <Mekkis> then why do you say I should play it?
04:42:56 <Avatar> paradox !
04:43:02 * Steven mind blown
04:43:17 <Maestro> o.O?
04:43:35 <Wrothmonk> No, its the shrodinger's cat of wanting you to play something.
04:43:54 <Mekkis> I killed two PCs last time I ran Veteran's Vault
04:45:12 <Steven> I'll play veterans Vault.
04:46:38 <Avatar> I've only run a scenario cold once
04:46:52 <Avatar> wait, not run cold
04:46:54 <Avatar> without playing it first
04:47:52 <Mekkis> fort save or die. Fun fun fun
04:48:22 <Wrothmonk> How about the night march of kalkamedes?
04:48:29 <Mekkis> playing that tomorrow
04:49:49 <Mekkis> how about Devil We Know III!
04:53:39 <Wrothmonk> hrm... Can I apply that without having done pt 2?
04:54:19 <Steven> yup
04:55:43 <Wrothmonk> Alright. Could you please send the scenario steven, as I have no money.
04:55:54 <Steven> say what?
04:57:44 <Blasticka> not even 3.99?
04:57:52 <Blasticka> that's like a cheeseburger
04:58:25 <Brunius|M> It is here
04:58:41 <Wrothmonk> I'm still leaching off my parents, what do you expect?
04:59:01 <Blasticka> chicken wings. I expect chicken wings and a mt. dew.
04:59:05 <Wrothmonk> but nvm. I'll figure it out.
04:59:10 <Mekkis> Brunius, how long until you graduate?
04:59:32 <Brunius> From High School? About 16 months
05:04:34 <Steven> buying gear for my new char
05:12:32 <Maestro> I'm crashing. G'night
05:13:14 <Steven> oh man, i ran into a dude at paizocon
05:13:34 <Steven> who tried to convince me that illusion spells do Non Lethal damage
05:14:43 <Steven> because they dont say they dont...
05:16:11 <Avatar> it's true
05:16:18 <Avatar> they don't say they don't
05:16:43 <Steven> yup...
05:17:39 <Steven> he also tried to convince me that he could silent image a Medusa into existance and have people make fort saves or be turned to stone... where they would just stop moving but not actually be paralyzed
05:18:03 <Wrothmonk> How much damage did he claim the spells to do?
05:18:10 <Steven> and im like..... uh... no.
05:18:26 <Steven> whatever damage the regular condition would make, only non lethaly
05:18:44 <Steven> so if you get hit by an illusionary dagger... 1d4+str in non lethal
05:18:57 <Steven> cause... you know... the spell doesnt say it doesnt do that.
05:19:37 <Steven> the whole conversation he kept referencing d&d2
05:19:57 <Steven> and im like, this is PFS... anything from another version is nonaplicable
05:20:22 <Steven> Also made a teenager cry at my table when i mission failed him.
05:20:37 <Steven> fell onto the floor put his head against the table and cried
05:22:11 <Brunius> Huh.
05:22:47 <Brunius> Missions are srs bznz
05:22:50 <Brunius> (Apparently)
05:23:01 <Steven> fo sho
05:26:43 <Avatar> you should have shown him why that wouldn't work
05:26:51 <Avatar> draw a picture of a medusa and show it to him
05:27:02 <Avatar> see if he turns to stone and stops moving
05:27:14 <Wrothmonk> if he does, put it on the internet.
05:27:15 <Avatar> make sure it is badly drawn
05:27:30 <Wrothmonk> immediately.
05:27:53 <Blasticka> putting things on the internet makes them true. because 90percent of people will believe it.
05:28:42 <Blasticka> and if 90 percent of this room believed that, I have some magic beans to sell that look like m&m's
05:28:49 <Blasticka> :-D
05:29:42 <Steven> need to find one more feat
05:30:04 <Steven> power attack
05:30:56 <Wrothmonk> Are they the giant stalk kind or the kind that turns you into a crazed demon?
05:31:01 <Wrothmonk> :P
05:32:29 <Wrothmonk> Well, I need to get to bed, goodnight everyone.
05:34:32 <Steven> so.... this character is now finished
05:35:07 <Steven> !throw 1d20+4; 2#1d20+5
05:35:07 <diebot> Steven, 1d20+4: [1d20=3] 7; 2#1d20+5: [1d20=17] 22, [1d20=16] 21
05:35:22 <Steven> !throw 2d6+4
05:35:22 <diebot> Steven, 2d6+4: [2d6=1,6] 11
05:35:31 <Steven> yup... good enough
05:35:39 <Steven> thats unbuffed too
05:40:06 <Blasticka> nice
06:46:08 <Adrian> hey all
06:51:25 <Adrian> Thinking about how far ahead to schedule a game. Wanna do it before I have to fly to PAX Aus for work.
06:58:17 <Blasticka> well, pick a day that works, tell avatar in a pm, and he'll put it on the site
06:58:23 <Blasticka> then we try to get enough people signed up
06:58:42 <Blasticka> usually it's at least 7 days in advance
07:01:06 <Adrian> It would have to be next Tuesday at the latest, I'm flying out on Wednesday.
07:03:38 <Blasticka> lets see, so we want to get it on the site today.
07:03:44 <Blasticka> do you know how to private message?
07:04:05 <Adrian> Yeah I'm already talking. :)
07:04:12 <Blasticka> cool. enjoy!
07:04:58 <Adrian> I take it there's interest for First Steps?
07:36:50 <Blasticka> Mist want's to play, but doesn't have a character finished and I've not seen her today
07:37:09 <Blasticka> I would play with Drohgnor if we needed players, but I've also been talking about GM'ing so whatever is needed
07:37:24 <Blasticka> I've played part one and 3 before but not part 2
07:37:37 <Blasticka> so if I played part one again I'd have to mostly be a mute dwarf lol
07:37:43 <Blasticka> to not ruin it for everyone
07:38:14 <Brunius> Dwarves are meant to be gruff and antisocial anyway aren't they?
07:39:09 <Blasticka> yes. and poor droggy has such a horrid charisma and intelligence
07:39:22 <Blasticka> not too smart. not too pretty. very good with a shiny sword
08:18:29 <Mekkis> isn't PAX next week?

08:31:56 Topic for #d&d set by Avatar at Fri Jul 5 23:37:05 2013
08:31:56 <***> Buffer Playback...
08:31:56 <***> Playback Complete.
08:31:57 <Goya> heh
08:32:03 <CWheezy> mostly at my tables, someone dies if I don't play
08:32:06 <CWheezy> er
08:32:11 <CWheezy> not my tables, but the local pfs tables
08:32:51 <Steven> i even tried cheering him up, i was like hey you mission failed, and it happens, but the good news is statistically you should succeed the next 6-10 games.
08:33:00 <Goya> hehe
08:33:10 <Steven> but inside i was like MAN THE FUCK UP YOU LITTLE PUSSY BEFORE I KICK YOUR ASS RIGHT OUT OF PAIZOCON! RAWR!!!!!!!
08:33:30 <CWheezy> is this a joke ro what
08:33:42 <Mekkis> no, it's true
08:33:47 <Mekkis> Steven doesn't know how to play:P
08:33:52 <CWheezy> no I mean
08:33:55 <CWheezy> his opinions right now
08:34:35 <Goya> Steven was as polite as can be - though i didnt play a game with him.. so...
08:35:06 <Steven> lil bit true, its a game, theres no reason to cry about it. and i was a little taken aback that a guy would get so upset at a mission failure he would sit on the floor and bawl at my table because of one.
08:35:20 <Steven> no joke, this was not a tear or two, but full on crying.
08:35:37 <Steven> I was polite and gentle, but inside i was just like WTF man up.
08:35:37 <Goya> every game i played had that 'one guy' - nobody cried though.
08:36:31 <CWheezy> it is ok to be emotionally invested in things imo
08:36:48 <Goya> true. but he didnt even die..
08:37:04 <Mekkis> last time I failed a mission, I was pretty pissed off
08:37:16 <Steven> yeah... emotionally invested okay... If your character died in an unrecoverable way... Hell even i would be upset.
08:37:32 <Mekkis> mainly because the reason I failed the mission was because an obnoxious cheliax player was more interested in his faction mission
08:37:36 <Steven> Mission failure... well fuck that sucks hate that shit!
08:37:44 <Steven> little pissed
08:37:47 <Steven> but to full on cry.
08:37:47 <Goya> did he get the token?
08:37:55 <Steven> in public
08:38:01 <Steven> infront of 200+ people
08:38:09 <Steven> way beyond emotionally invested.
08:38:54 <Goya> if he got the token and didnt die - not THAT big a deal.
08:39:17 <CWheezy> yeah I just don't really see an issue at all
08:39:40 <Steven> oh yeah, i gave tokens out at every table, even gave one of mine away to someone who wasnt gonna have the 2 requisit for getting a boon roll.
08:40:25 <Steven> threw it at him, and told him have a great year, he tried to hug me... TRIED.
08:40:29 <Steven> and failed.
08:40:38 <Goya> you are a saint sir - even if you make players cry
08:40:50 <Steven> Then i had a dude argue with me about how illusions do non lethal damage.
08:41:51 <Steven> that guy...
08:42:44 <Steven> nah, not a saint, just in the know... i could have walked up to the boon guys and been like hey i Would love a Wanang boon... and they would have handed me one. no prob.
08:42:55 <Goya> that might have been the guy i played with first game...
08:43:37 <Steven> scruffy... glasses... bout 5'8.
08:43:45 <Goya> he was trying to get tricky with low lwvel illusions..
08:43:45 <Steven> medium build
08:44:04 <Goya> yeah.. reminded me of stephen king.
08:44:32 <Goya> photo-wise sorta.
08:45:15 <Steven> yeah
08:45:20 <Steven> thats the guy
08:45:45 <Goya> he was doing wierd crap - tried to drag a chest by himself and almost got us killed by a golem.
08:46:12 <Steven> yeah... i dont know whats up with some lodges man.
08:46:15 <Steven> the GMs must be SUPER nice.
08:46:18 <Goya> heh
08:46:31 <Steven> and go out of their way to not kill people
08:46:43 <Mekkis> "How did you get the explosives?" "Oh, I signed for them"
08:47:04 <Steven> theres one GM who ran The Waking Rune.
08:48:03 <Steven> Its the 7-11 that is the season finalle
08:48:18 <Steven> killed zero people.
08:48:42 <Goya> wow..
08:48:44 <Wrothmonk> to bad.
08:48:48 <Wrothmonk> did you at least try?
08:48:49 <Steven> in every one of her games.
08:49:24 <Steven> so either her 5 groups were rediculously well coordinated or she softballed.
08:50:22 <Goya> the vc from salt lake and the gm at the table i was at next to yours were good. probably softballed a bit - but a chair did take out 3 party members...
09:05:23 <Adrian> Yeah I'm flying out to Melbs for PAX for work Weds/Thurs (can't remember, will have to check).
14:20:03 <Maestro> Heyo
14:20:43 <Wrothmonk> Afternoon
14:26:57 <Maestro> How's life?
14:27:16 <Maestro> I just found out that someone registered me for a game tomorrow morning
14:27:24 <Maestro> But I have to be level 3 and I'm only level 2
14:27:39 <Maestro> I'm not the one who registered myself, so I should withdraw
14:27:52 <Maestro> I wish so badly I could play this scenario, though
14:28:01 <Maestro> And I'm so close to leveling up x-x
17:09:03 <Steven> scheduling a con... so much fun.
18:17:23 <Steven> there we go... tables laid out and now just waiting for GMs to decide they want to GM
18:17:47 <Goya> Where you at?
18:18:00 <Steven> planning for a con
18:18:14 <Steven> Spocon up in Spokane.

18:22:35 <CWheezy> maybe close to the same
18:22:36 <Goya> not much closer then...
18:23:05 <CWheezy> no, I think spokane is east of seattle
18:23:08 <CWheezy> yeah

18:30:16 <Steven> was sitting on the ground, head on the table, crying.
18:30:38 <Steven> no... he ran away with one other pathfinder.
18:30:49 <Goya> hehe. oy..

18:32:20 <CWheezy> hmmm
18:32:22 <Steven> no, i dont want him identifiable, because that would be uncool.
18:32:25 <CWheezy> always sucks to kill dudes
18:32:45 <Goya> true. a little blurring and it would be funny.
18:32:46 <Steven> he shall remain a figure of mystery... that i made cry.
