44:53 <Yiroep> IRC ATW.
48:18 <Goya> True. Except CA and Skype do help quite a bit. =) 
21:18 <Steven> Who would be interested in some First Steps 2 here in a lil bit?
22:44 <Goya> I'd have to roll a new level 1 - but with HeroLab - that isn't very hard - I would just have to decide what to make..

48:58 <Steven_> duuuuuuuuuude.... kinda bored.
52:14 <Goya> I'm just glad to be home. 
52:31 <Steven_> ah so ya finally got home, thats good.
52:42 <Goya> Cube World was released while I was gone. 
52:55 patrick has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
53:03 <Goya> TUG comes out Monday.  It's a good week for indie games. 
53:53 patrick ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
54:47 <Goya> (Well TUG alpha comes out Monday)
55:34 <HTT-Bird> so, where's a good place to go hunting for advice on the narrativist side of RP?
56:45 <Steven_> forums.
56:49 Steven_ is now known as Steven
57:21 <Steven> check out some of the Play by Posts of games you've already played.
57:42 <HTT-Bird> *nods* will have to poke my head into the PbP world more then
58:10 <Goya> http://brennor.dyndns.org/rpg/Forums/viewtopic/t=5777/postdays=0/postorder=asc/start=0.html
58:36 <Goya> That's a PbP Carrion Crown adventure (sorta stalls out) - but the narrative aspect is fantastic. 
59:35 <HTT-Bird> *nods* my problem is that I seem to push my RP characters to points where other players often wind up being too squeamish/frustrated/socially offended to continue
59:52 <HTT-Bird> and then somehow, I manage to miss the fact that I did that completely half the time, and *keep pushing*
00:31 <Steven> just be aware of the "Dont be a Jerk" Rule
00:52 <Goya> And some players don't really like verbal roleplay. 
01:08 <HTT-Bird> *nods* yeah.  sometimes it can get too verbose for my tastes even
01:32 <Goya> I actually like low CHA so I don't have to talk. ;) 
02:03 <Goya> Since I would be a hinderance rather than an asset. 
02:19 <HTT-Bird> Steven, yeah, that's what trips me up.  I'm very good at inadvertently being a jerk, in some subtle (or sometimes not so subtle way), and not really realizing it until after the fact
02:47 <Steven> and thats why you need to pay more attention to it.
03:10 <Steven> if people in your party are telling you to stop something, you might be rubbing up against it.
03:32 <HTT-Bird> yeah.  it boils down to 'how does one emulate empathy, since the built-in logic I have for that is faulty/erratic at best?'
03:58 <Goya> When folks go silent - that's usually another cue. 
04:55 <HTT-Bird> yeah, that seems to be the cue that I'm missing
05:28 <HTT-Bird> if someone goes silent esp. in an online context, I'm guessing they got called AFK or had to deal with something, not lost interest
05:34 <Steven> food time!
05:39 <Goya> heh
06:37 <HTT-Bird> and there's also the matter of trying to come up with suitable interests for my chars
06:57 <Goya> Online actually makes things easier - since it's not so 'personal'. BUT - if it's strangers playing - it can still be awkward. 
07:02 <HTT-Bird> agreed
07:09 <Wrothmonk> Amen to that.
07:50 <Wrothmonk> I've had a couple of situations like that.
08:22 <Goya> After PaizoCon - I actually prefer to play online. If you're going to play with strangers - might as well make it semi-comfortable. 
08:23 <Mekkis> oh wow
08:43 <Mekkis> http://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1fm#v5748eaic9qow
08:46 <Mekkis> very interesting
08:50 <Goya> There's always that 'one guy' in the group... 
08:56 <HTT-Bird> let me put it this way: when you and your character share a disinterest in the emotional states and emotional narratives of others (to me, a narrative is a collection of facts dangling from a timeline)
09:29 <Steven> yup pretty cool huh mekkis
09:48 <Mekkis> perhaps
10:05 <Mekkis> other than mystic theurge, what classes can benefit
10:46 <HTT-Bird> it makes it *very hard* to find social conversation
10:53 <Goya> *nods* 
10:58 <Mekkis> arcane trickster...
11:41 <Mekkis> hmm
11:49 <Mekkis> so I should make an asimaar bloatmage
11:53 <HTT-Bird> because most people (or characters) don't want to talk legal, technical, or sometimes even philosophical things over their ales and trenchers
11:57 <Mekkis> taking levels of bloatmage at 4th
12:07 <HTT-Bird> Mekkis, bloatmage?
12:18 <Mekkis> City of Strangers
12:21 <Steven> mmmmmmmm bloatmage....
12:32 patrick has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
12:38 <Steven> we convinced my friend to become a bloatmage during eyes of the ten
12:56 <Goya> Most people talk MORE over ales and trenchers. Especially ales. ;)
13:09 <Wrothmonk> bloatmage?
13:10 <Steven> he roleplays an exceptionally fat character who hasnt actually walked in several years
13:12 <HTT-Bird> Goya, they talk more, but not about those sorts of topics ;)
13:20 <Goya> *nods* True. 
13:21 <Steven> basically since he bought his carpet of flying

01:26 <Ultio_> i had just got back from being stationed in germany and was with my family
01:52 <Ultio_> i went out with my wife and some of my friends the day before and when i came home the next day they threw me a surprise party
02:02 <Ultio_> i was like holy shit it IS my birthday
02:10 <Ultio_> completely forgot 
03:14 <Blasticka> at least they remembered
03:16 <Ultio_> i had some phone interviews that day so i got really focused on those, well, becuse i needed a job
03:34 <Blasticka> I just got a gym scroll thing in my game worth about 25million yen!
03:42 <Ultio_> well i had just gotten back from being stationed in germany
04:00 <Ultio_> i hadnt seen my family in like 3 or 4 years
04:02 <Blasticka> ah so you were in like, navy/army/marines or something?
04:06 <Ultio_> army yea
04:55 <Ultio_> really i got paid to party for 3 years
05:05 <Blasticka> heh
05:22 <Blasticka> I haven't seen my family for over 2 1/2 years now so I know how that feels.
05:26 <Blasticka> well except for skype
05:28 <Ultio_> and they gave me the opportunity to me my wife at the pub we frequented
05:38 <Ultio_> yeah skype is good
05:51 <Ultio_> but it sux whe you are 8 hours apart
06:22 <Blasticka> schedules can be hard yeah
06:42 <Blasticka> so did you come out ahead at all with the cash from the army time? or spent it all partying? :-P
07:11 <Ultio_> i would have to wait until like 2 am so my family would be off work when i called haha
10:16 <Ultio_> so how do you guys play online? 
10:22 <Blasticka> mmm. I like ice cream
10:26 <Blasticka> well we use skype
10:33 <Blasticka> and devca which is this little map thingy
10:50 <Ultio_> oh ok roll20 is good 2
10:54 <Blasticka> so you can see part of the map, which has a fog of war thing on it until you open doors and whatnot
11:02 <Blasticka> as for the rolling and stuff
11:07 <Blasticka> we use this mibbit chat
11:23 <Blasticka> so you change your name to your characters name with /nick
11:41 <Ceybur> then you roll with either !roll or !throw
11:44 <Ceybur> they both work
11:55 <Ceybur> !roll 1d20+2 perception
11:55 <dicebot> Ceybur, perception: [1d20=14] 16
12:07 <Ultio_> nice
12:23 <Ceybur> !throw 1d20+3 elemental ray
12:23 <diebot> Ceybur, elemental ray: [1d20=2] 5
12:28 <Ceybur> doh
12:31 <Ceybur> lol
12:47 <Ultio_> !roll 1d20+2 strength
12:48 <dicebot> Ultio_, strength: [1d20=3] 5
12:51 <Ultio_> damn
12:54 <Ceybur> the gm throws all his rolls in another room usually, unless he is playing hardball then they roll them in here
13:25 <Ceybur> there is a general rule that if at all possible, nobody dies in their first adventure
13:47 <Ultio_> after my first (and only) game of pathfinder with this guy i like to see what the dm rolls
14:05 <Ultio_> this one dm cheated a LOT
14:27 <Ultio_> i just made a lvl 4 character and jumped in with these guys
14:47 <Ultio_> turns out the dm was holding loot/gold/xp away from us
14:56 <Ultio_> and cheating his rolls
15:11 <Ultio_> he always was trying to kill us PCs
15:47 <Ultio_> ever since then i dont trust dms and their rolls
16:14 <Ceybur> the people in here are pretty fair. if anything they fudge them to preserve the PC's and not take them out too early.
16:16 <Ultio_> how do i register my name?
16:20 <Ceybur> focus is more on fun.
16:27 <Ultio_> thats what it should be
17:10 <Blasticka> well, to register a name you first have to do /help register I think
17:16 <Blasticka> for it to give you instructions
17:21 <Blasticka> then you follow them
17:36 <Ultio_> yeah i tried earlier but could figure it out
17:48 <Blasticka> took me quite a while to get it
17:51 <Ultio_> doubt i could register my name without logging out at work first though
17:54 <Blasticka> trick is to read it really closely
18:01 <Ultio_> <-- dumb
18:17 <Blasticka> and then put a / before the name thingy
18:37 <Blasticka> I ended up accidentally posting my name, password, email, all that stuff because I forgot the /
18:56 <Ultio_> yeah i went into another room and tested some stuff out but it didnt work
20:02 <Blasticka> one easy way to get the instructions again would be to send a private message to me or something
20:20 <Blasticka> since I'm probably in +R mode and it wouldn't let you send it unless you had registered
20:38 <Blasticka> but yeah, most likely you would have to logout at work first
23:27 <Ultio_> ahh well i will figure it out later haha
34:41 <Blasticka> well I think it's time to hit the hay
34:46 <Blasticka> hope you get some sleep too
34:51 <Ultio_> yeah i need it haha
34:55 <Ultio_> have a good night
35:00 <Blasticka> take it easy man
02:48 <Steven> well that's better... stupid message of the day was blocking shit for me.
18:45 <HTT-Bird> o/ Wrothmonk 
18:50 <Wrothmonk> Hello
19:09 <Wrothmonk> Whats up?
19:11 <Ultio> Hello
19:19 <Steven> oh man.... people are back.
19:31 <HTT-Bird> not that much
19:31 <Steven> !rand sociable notsociable
19:32 <dicebot> Steven, random: notsociable
19:45 <Wrothmonk> !rand makestevensociable dont
19:45 <dicebot> Wrothmonk, random: makestevensociable
19:53 <Wrothmonk> you will be sociable steven!
19:56 <Ultio> haha
20:01 <Steven> whats the DC?
20:24 <HTT-Bird> wondering if I'm just stuck in "chronic I want to play things that are beyond the limits of what others naturally accept" mode
20:53 <Wrothmonk> do what I did, find a banned class/archetype and duplicate it in another form.
21:17 <Steven> wroth what is the DC for making me sociable? imma make a will save
21:27 <Wrothmonk> hrm...
21:41 <HTT-Bird> Wrothmonk, I don't really know the PF system well enough to do that yet
22:14 <Wrothmonk> 16
22:42 <Steven> alright!
22:49 <Steven> !throw 1d20+4
22:49 <diebot> Steven, 1d20+4: [1d20=7] 11
22:50 <HTT-Bird> speaking of DCs, what sort of thing would your character have to attempt in order for a DC 100 check to be called for?
22:53 <Steven> god damn it....
23:04 <Wrothmonk> hrm...
23:12 <Steven> alright.... ill be sociable.
23:16 <Wrothmonk> probably a jump of a certain height, leme check.
24:23 <Steven> Jump, acrobatics through an army of soldiers, altitude sickness
24:31 <Wrothmonk> 25 ft jump
24:34 <Wrothmonk> up
24:38 <Wrothmonk> with a running start
25:13 <Wrothmonk> or 50 ft straight forward with a running start
25:42 <HTT-Bird> this makes me wonder just how ridiculous a thing would have to be to merit DC 500 even
25:53 <Wrothmonk> be superman
25:54 <Wrothmonk> :P
26:20 <Wrothmonk> oh and that would be 125 ft jump
26:24 <HTT-Bird> yeesh
26:34 <Ultio> that would always only be a dc500 vs. kryptonite
26:45 <Wrothmonk> XD
27:30 <HTT-Bird> ...plucking a random char from a party and hard-wiring them to a ten thousand ton killing machine where the machine's pilot actually partially downloads their brain into the machine would be in that realm I think too ;)
27:56 <Wrothmonk> pacific rim?
28:04 <Wrothmonk> cant wait to see that movie.
28:09 <Steven> imma go play around with gamespace some more
28:13 <HTT-Bird> actually, an Eve Online ship
28:17 <Wrothmonk> heh
28:24 <Wrothmonk> easy mistake
28:27 <Wrothmonk> gamespace?
28:39 <HTT-Bird> DC 500 Fortitude check against mind-lock, *every turn*
28:51 <Steven> gamespace is paizo's VTT
29:23 <Wrothmonk> although in pacific rim its two pilots in a ten thousand ton mech.
30:07 <HTT-Bird> yeah
30:22 <HTT-Bird> I could up the ante and toss them into a million tons of capital ship ;)
31:15 <HTT-Bird> (which btw, the pilot controls by direct mental connection)
28:10 <Blasticka> ahhh. good morning mibbit.
28:48 <Ultio> Good evening haha
31:38 <Wrothmonk> Good evening.
34:20 <Wrothmonk> Random question, who here knows who jeff dunham is?
34:31 <Ultio> <---
34:37 <Blasticka> I do
34:46 <Ultio> He's okay
34:51 <Blasticka> at least I remember the name. I think he's a comedian
35:06 <Ultio> Yes he is a ventriloquist 
35:33 <Blasticka> isn't one of his puppets a skeleton?
35:44 <Wrothmonk> http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__2EuWvws1jM/SMJLrcB4OQI/AAAAAAAAAIA/c5TaZdhzlRY/s400/acmed+el+terrorista+muerto.jpg
35:48 <Ultio> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zcnoh3oJJKs
35:57 <diebot> Ultio, Jeff Dunham - Arguing With Myself - Walter
35:59 <Ultio> that is his original puppet
36:20 <Wrothmonk> and the image i just linked is the skeleton puppet you were thinking of.
36:39 <Ultio> yeah
40:11 <Wrothmonk> oh hey, his halloween special is on youtube.
44:40 <Mekkis> moin
44:47 <Wrothmonk> Evening.
46:07 <Mekkis> howare things
48:03 <Blasticka> hey mekkis
48:19 <Steven> mekkis run!
48:29 <Steven> before they pester you to be sociable!
48:41 <Blasticka> I have a small problem. I changed my armor on Drohgnor from scalemail to banded mail, and I'm still trying to figure out how to change it so it gives me a dex bonus of 1 instead of the 2 it insists on
52:00 <Blasticka> hah I think I fixed it myself
52:13 <Ultio> could put a -1 in the dodge section if you dont have anything in there yet?
52:35 <Blasticka> there is a max dex bonus square I didn't see the first time
52:41 <Ultio> oh haha
53:18 <Blasticka> I have to do some chores.
