00:00:55 <Steven> so.... whatcha think blastica....
00:01:02 <Steven> new character, what should i make?
00:01:23 <Blasticka> hmmmm
00:01:29 <Blasticka> something new
00:01:41 <Steven> Mystery Cultist?
00:01:45 <Blasticka> something blue, something borrowed
00:01:53 <Blasticka> oh wait thats weddings
00:01:54 <Blasticka> ummmm
00:01:57 <Blasticka> pick a race
00:02:05 <Blasticka> and then a weapon
00:02:12 <Blasticka> and see what it lends itself to
00:02:17 <Steven> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/other-paizo/i-m/mystery-cultist
00:03:37 <Blasticka> hmm
00:03:42 <Blasticka> so it's kind of like a weird cleric/
00:03:44 <Blasticka> ?
00:04:08 <Steven> the boons are kinda crazy.
00:04:24 <Steven> and some of the obediences are neigh impossible to actually do daily
00:07:20 <Blasticka> maybe shoot for a prestige class you haven't done?
00:07:33 <Steven> havent done that prestige class yet
00:08:02 <Blasticka> oh it already IS a prestige. I missed that
00:08:02 <Goya> See ya - sorry - still working on a character. ;)
00:08:52 <Steven> have a lore warden thats going to become a living monolith
00:16:33 <Blasticka> can a living monolith move?
00:17:46 <Mekkis> !spell dominate person
00:17:46 <diebot> Mekkis, DOMINATE PERSON enchantment (compulsion[mind-affecting]) bard 4, sorcerer/wizard 5, witch 5 1 round Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) one humanoid Comp: V, S Duration: 1 day/level Save: Will negates SR:yes
00:17:47 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/spells/dominate_person.html
00:31:35 <Steven> yes, living monoliths can move
00:31:40 <Steven> they are a prestige class
00:32:43 <Steven> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/other-paizo/i-m/living-monolith
00:35:53 <Wrothmonk> Steven, how well do you think a melee alchemist would work? I'm trying to come up with a powerful character for mekkis' new campaign.
00:36:10 * Steven shrugs
00:36:17 <Steven> alchemists are very ranged oriented.
00:36:58 <Steven> if you dont have to make it PFS legal vivisectionist is pretty insane
00:37:02 <Wrothmonk> hrm, seems to me they could boost either dex or tr.
00:37:14 <Wrothmonk> especially with stuff like enlarge person or alter self.
00:38:45 <Wrothmonk> yeah it has to be legal.
00:39:13 <Steven> alright sending you private message
01:11:23 <Steven> yo
01:55:15 <Steven> cant decide which boon i want
01:57:25 <Steven> from the varisia place.
01:58:55 <Steven> theres a book, and i get a free trait for GMing at paizocon
02:00:06 <Steven> I THINK WE FOUND A WINNER!
02:02:48 <Steven> if its legal im so fucking taking it!
02:07:50 <Steven> awwww bals, not legal
02:07:56 * Steven shuffles away sadly
02:11:16 <Ultio> there are no other boobs you want>
02:11:19 <Ultio> boons*
02:11:23 <Ultio> damn it
02:11:49 <Wrothmonk> He wants all the boobs. Boons on the other hand he may not want all of them.
02:11:58 <Ultio> haha
02:14:33 <Steven> i want as many boobs boons i can get my hands on....
02:15:12 <Steven> wroth when you gonna run something man
02:19:03 <Steven> suppose ill use this credit i have stacked up to make a 3rd level character
02:25:09 <Wrothmonk> Next Wednesday at 08:00 UTC if I dont sleep through the starting time.
02:30:52 <Wrothmonk> if you must know.
04:21:00 <Steve> suuuuuuuuuuuu
04:21:03 <Steve> p
04:21:51 <Steven> wow.... fangwood keep was really anticlimactic
04:51:21 <Steven> so kinda quiet in here today
05:06:52 <boris> good
05:27:59 <Brunius> I'd just like to say
05:28:03 <Brunius> Fuck economics homework
05:28:12 <Steven> yup
05:49:02 <Brunius> "Here's a table of various economic indicators. How will these affect this indicator which they have no relation to?"
05:50:00 <boris> How to spot a cyberstalker #5: They attribute their own psychological defects to their victims. Report them as spam
06:52:04 <Wrothmonk> Hey, isn't there some restriction on what type of dragon draconic bloodline sorcerers can pick?
06:54:54 <Ultio> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/sorcerer/bloodlines/bloodlines-from-paizo/draconic-bloodline
06:55:59 <Wrothmonk> Yeah, but I mean a restriction on the dragon types from the list, I could have sworn there was one.
06:56:17 <Ultio> For PFS?
06:56:21 <Wrothmonk> yeah
06:58:11 <Ultio> I don't think so. As long as he is not an evil character I don't think it matters
07:45:02 <Ashar> holy crap. I completely forgot I had had turned this on the other day. haha.
07:45:22 <Mekkis> I love it when the lift is broken and I'm conesquently locked oout of my apartment...
07:45:39 <Steven> sounds fun mekkis.
07:45:59 <Proquar> that seems funny, because that would piss me off :D
07:46:14 <Brunius> Why are you locked out because the lift is broken
07:46:41 <ghostwriter> mu mouse stopped working properly since i cleaned it and my desk

09:53:55 <***> Playback Complete.
10:45:12 Longshot ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
11:54:05 <Mekkis> DING!
11:54:13 <Mekkis> Mytiazair levelled
12:22:52 <Wrothmonk> Gratz
12:25:36 <Wrothmonk> Hey mekkis, would some other time besides Wednesday work? I haven't been able to get a hold of avatar and I'd prefer not to schedule a game only 3 or 4 days in advance instead of the normal week in advance.
21:38:12 <Ultio> he won't be able to be in a party though....
21:43:09 <Goya> If I could play OR DM I guess it wouldn't be so hard - but I'm taxed at the 'playing' bit for now. Maybe I'll setup a local PFS group once I'm comfortable with the rules.
21:43:38 <Goya> 'wasteland middle of nowhere lodge'
21:44:59 <Ultio> There is a comic book store near me that has weekly PFS meetups. It's the only place around that has the meetups when I'm not working (Monday).
21:46:17 <Ultio> They always need DMs so I am trying to get more familiar with the PFS rules so I can eventually DM.
21:48:07 <Wrothmonk> Locuky, theres no place around here that does pfs
21:48:11 <Wrothmonk> lucky*
21:48:26 <Steven> not hard to get into GMing, just read a scenario and find some people to Play
21:48:33 <Goya> *nods* I'd have to drive 2 hours to get to a PFS location.
21:48:52 <Goya> You need to know the mechanics first though. ;)
21:49:16 <Steven> well ya know how to roll dice
21:52:46 <Goya> It's not that easy - but - yeah I suppose you have a point.
21:54:15 <Goya> I'm thinking about doing Rise of the Runelords (locally) once I can get the mechanics down. Then maybe transition folks into PFS as the campaign progresses.
21:55:10 <Goya> I figure RotRL should be a good hook.
21:55:26 <Steven> no it really is almost htat easy, after about 5 or so games... anyone with enough prep time should be able to gm
21:56:06 <Goya> I still need to get the AOO and all that straight.
21:57:11 <Ultio> I know the mechanics of Pathfinder, but I just want to read up some more about DMing and get a little practice before I decide to DM at a PFS Meetup.
21:57:50 <Ultio> There are still some things I don't know very well or at all I'm sure
21:57:51 <***> Buffer Playback...
21:57:52 <***> Playback Complete.
21:58:56 <Mekkis> Brunius, noone gave me a working fire ke
21:58:56 <Mekkis> y
22:00:15 <Goya> *nods* Here here.
22:00:31 <Goya> You going to Rose City Comic Con Steven?
22:00:55 <Goya> It's a bit far... But ECCC had a decent PFS group there - and I know Portland has some PFS.
22:03:07 <Goya> I actually stumbled upon PFS (and Pathfinder) at ECCC.
22:03:10 <Steven> no dont think ill be headed that far.
22:03:38 <Goya> *nods*
22:04:51 <Steven> think im doing enough cons this year
22:04:58 <Goya> heh
22:05:07 <Steven> radcon, spocon, paizocon, gencon and Pax Prime
22:05:32 <Goya> Doh.. Pax Prime. Bastard.
22:05:41 <Goya> I missed tickets for that one.
22:06:02 <Steven> well, im GMing.
22:06:05 <Goya> I was asleep at the keyboard or something.
22:06:40 <Goya> Should still be fun - although Seattle Convention Center kinda sucks. It's somewhat disjointed.
22:07:17 <Steven> i dunno how imma pay for it.... im broke as shit already lol
22:07:23 <Goya> Heh
22:07:45 <Steven> spent nearly 250 bucks going to paizocon, and my lodging was free
22:07:49 <Goya> Ouch. =(
22:08:06 <poundpuppy30> anything happening?
22:08:12 <Steven> yeah, the parking situation was fuckin stupid!
22:08:13 <Ultio> i would like to go to pax but there is no way i could get out to seattle...
22:08:18 <Steven> 16 bucks a day for parking
22:08:23 <Ultio> damn
22:08:32 <Steven> which i footed cause my buddy was strapped.
22:08:52 <Goya> *nods* We were at Clarion down the street - which was a VERY bad hotel.
22:09:27 <Goya> Marriott had a great pool and whatnot though - it was a nice hotel.
22:09:39 <Steven> yeah the hotel was amazing
22:09:50 <Steven> but we spent 45 bucks on parking.
22:09:57 <Steven> for a weekend.
22:10:05 <Goya> I hope they do Marriott next year - ponycon is going to be at Hilton next door again.
22:10:26 <Goya> Been quiet for a while.
22:10:43 <Mekkis> Did you know that it's not illegal to kill someone on Antarctica?
22:10:51 <Steven> the biggest complaints ive heard from the GMs was the parking, and the fact the Hotel refused to give us Wifi
22:11:05 <Goya> Yeah - lack of wifi kinda sucked.
22:11:24 <Steven> in this day and age, Wifi should just be a given man.
22:11:25 <Mekkis> I should run a game of PFS down there and be the first GM to kill some players! Anyone want to come with me?
22:11:33 <Goya> Parking I can understand - but you could have parked at Clarion - they don't take plates or anythign when you check-in. ;)
22:11:43 <Steven> prolly dont want me to go.
22:11:50 <Mekkis> why not?
22:12:11 <Steven> i come armed.
22:12:20 <Mekkis> that's fine
22:12:22 <Steven> my thing is my athsma is bad, im sitting in a room with two air purifiers going 24/7
22:12:34 <Steven> so, walking around downtown with all that smog
22:12:42 <Goya> *nods*
22:12:50 <Steven> bad for the lungs
22:12:50 <Steven> i'd be the first person in my family to go there.
22:12:56 <Mekkis> that's fine
22:12:58 <Goya> Clarion was next to Hilton - which was one block away from Marriott.
22:13:17 <Steven> we tried to get the hotel to allow us to take the car out one day because a group of us were going to go out to dinner
22:13:21 <Steven> but you shouldnt kill your players. they will give you a bad review
22:13:25 <Steven> because my lungs were acting up
22:13:32 <poundpuppy30> i see
22:13:38 <poundpuppy30> so any pfs players in here?
22:13:42 <Steven> and they were like No, if you leave the parkinglot you have to pay again
22:13:50 <Goya> Wha?
22:14:05 <Goya> It's usually per-day. That sucks
22:14:09 <Blasticka> hey guys
22:14:19 <Goya> o/
22:14:22 <Steven> yup, it was total bullshit, so instead i walked with everyone else.
22:14:25 <Mekkis> is there any way to give a GM a review?
22:14:36 <Goya> o/
22:14:36 <Mekkis> oh, Mytiazair hit 12th!
22:14:57 <Proquar> The first time I play face to face, I'd like there to be consequences for an rl pk
22:15:12 <Goya> Meh. That stinks. Parkign should be in-out on a daily basis.
22:15:16 <Goya> *Parking
22:15:26 <Mekkis> Proquar, you should go to Paizoconoz!
22:15:42 <Steven> asthma attack when we got to the restaurant, asthma attack twice on the way back.
22:15:55 <Goya> Ugh.
22:15:56 <Proquar> there will be consequences for rl pk's right?
22:16:05 <Mekkis> Of course
22:16:07 <Mekkis> it's in Brisbane
22:16:09 <Steven> and then the place was expensive as fuck.... 20 dollars for a ruben
22:16:10 <Brunius> I haven't had an asthma attack in years
22:16:12 <Mekkis> Australian law applies
22:16:13 <Steven> course
22:16:17 <Goya> 13 coins?
22:16:20 <Steven> yeah
22:16:28 <Goya> Heh.
22:16:40 <Steven> time to go play some video games before bed
22:16:43 <Steven> my friend cameron spent 20 bucks on 4 shrimp, we give him so much shit about it
22:17:00 <Goya> That place is a landmark - but totally overpriced.
22:17:07 <Steven> ordered pizza the other day at PFS
22:17:14 <Proquar> i'm likely to not go to brisbane for a con
22:17:15 <Proquar> :D
22:17:24 <Steven> and i was like cameron... for you... 4 dollars a slice... great deal!
22:17:25 <Mekkis> :'(
22:17:32 <Goya> Heh
22:18:07 <Blasticka> 20 bucks should get you a STEAK and four shrimp.
22:18:08 <Steven> he said, Steve fuck you, and i was like okay okay, you drive a hard bargain... 3.50
22:18:25 <Goya> I think Denny's or Pizza Hut (delivery) was the best option(s).
22:19:03 <Proquar> maybe canberra
22:19:05 <Steven> yeah our problem is some of my friends make a lot of money, so they think paying 15 or so bucks for a meal is acceptable
22:19:17 <Proquar> i'll try for a sydney one
22:19:43 <Mekkis> we're considering a canberra one Novemberish
22:20:46 <Proquar> i'd consider going to that
22:20:48 <Proquar> who's 'we'?
22:21:06 <Mekkis> the Canberra PFS community (at least part of it)
22:22:17 <Mekkis> is it bad that the reason my next PC will have an AMD CPU is because they come in great deckboxes?
22:24:11 <Goya> *nods*
22:24:35 <poundpuppy30> hmm guess none?
22:25:11 <Goya> *looks around* Just me at the moment.
22:30:12 <poundpuppy30> hmm
22:30:29 <poundpuppy30> im so board I want to play but no one is listing any games this late to join
22:30:38 <poundpuppy30> i have to run them as a gm because of that
22:31:42 <poundpuppy30> i only have one more level 1 who needs fs1, then im going to be changing over to a different scenario
22:31:48 <Goya> At leat you can GM. =)
22:31:55 <poundpuppy30> gming isnt hard
22:32:07 <poundpuppy30> paizo gives you 7 free scenarios to download
22:32:20 <Goya> *nods* I need to get the mechanics down a bit better.
22:32:31 <poundpuppy30> then you go to table 20, cut and paste the maps, stretch them, add mobs, and read from the scenario on a different window
22:32:48 <Goya> *nods*
22:32:59 <poundpuppy30> i learn as i go
22:33:07 <Goya> I've got the reading and ripping bit down. I can do that. I just need the mechanics bit.
22:33:10 <poundpuppy30> same with the pfs rules , i learn stuff from games and from gming
22:33:21 <Goya> *nods*
22:33:34 <poundpuppy30> i use the paizo forum alot when im puzzled
22:33:53 <poundpuppy30> lot of the experts fight it out on there to show their skills at who is right
22:34:22 <poundpuppy30> i go with the ones who quote the books and where the rule is for stuff
22:37:01 <Blasticka> well, when I go out to eat, I often spend 10-12 bucks
22:37:15 <Blasticka> when we cook at home, we get like, 4 meals for 8 bucks though
22:37:27 <Steven> yeah at a con, i dont like spending 15 per meal
22:37:54 <Goya> *nods* I've started skimming the forums (especially the GM/questions stuff).
22:37:56 <Blasticka> meatball subs at subway are like 5 bucks for a six inch
22:38:04 <Blasticka> I often go that route if I'm hungry but feeling cheap
22:38:28 <Steven> exactly... no reason to spend 15 bucks a meal
22:38:42 <Brunius> Yeah cons is pretty much the only time I eat subway
22:39:20 <Steven> love me a spicy italian sub
22:39:27 <Blasticka> so what's everyone doing today?
22:39:46 <Steven> dickin around mostly
22:39:50 <Brunius> I'm currently playing Dwarf Fortress and pretending that I shouldn't be doing my chem homework
22:40:24 <Blasticka> too bad they never give good assignments. like figure out how to make your own soft drink and serve it to the class
22:41:28 <Blasticka> anyone thinking about organizing a game today?
22:41:29 <Brunius> It's two chapters of questions, plus a worksheet on solubility
22:41:32 <Ultio> currently at work/ about to do some school work
22:42:00 <Steven> that sounds like fun brunius
22:42:14 <Steven> as much fun as a vasectomy
22:42:17 <Blasticka> eh that's alright then. everybody busy. :-)
22:42:33 <Blasticka> me and steven played the worst first steps ever yesterday
22:42:50 <Blasticka> couple hilarious moments
22:42:59 <Blasticka> but the final fight was a disaster
22:43:32 <Brunius> Which FS?
22:43:38 <Blasticka> part 1
22:44:49 <Brunius> Yeah, when I played that the final fight was a disaster too
22:45:27 <Steven> ours was a wreck because people opened the scenario to argue with the GM about how much damage Ledford does
22:45:33 <Blasticka> I think it might have been the GM's first time
22:45:58 <Steven> was his 3rd game GMed
22:47:03 <Blasticka> I'm gonna muck around on a game. I'll check back to see if anything is happening in like, 30 min to an hour
22:47:59 <poundpuppy30> seems they talking about running something on the forum https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/pathfinder-society-online-collective/2jpEAQDASb0
22:50:29 Brunius|M ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
22:51:27 <Goya> Looks like they're looking for a GM.
22:51:56 <poundpuppy30> yeah
22:52:09 <Goya> I wonder how a cleric archer would work out..
22:52:11 <poundpuppy30> i guess if they dont find one i can run fs1
22:53:02 <Goya> I don't think I've run any of the first steps.
22:53:48 <Steven> think imma shower it up, then come back and see if we wanna do anything
22:54:01 <Goya> I'm cooking food.
22:54:30 <Goya> Of course - I've only played 4 PFS sessions total.. So... Yeah.
23:16:04 Brunius|M has quit (Connection closed)
23:18:21 <CWheezy> well someone kept saying that he does 1d10+5
23:18:27 <CWheezy> which is incorrect lol
23:20:57 <poundpuppy30> starting up fs1 goya better hurry
23:30:53 <Steven> doesnt matter if its correct, incorrect, or green. You dont open up a scenario while you're playing it. People should know better than that.
23:32:18 <poundpuppy30> https://app.roll20.net/join/154760/YEx9mg need more pfs players
23:32:34 <Steven> I've had players look up monsters while they were fighting them, and i've thrown them off my table.
23:33:08 <Longshot> whats roll20?
23:33:28 <CWheezy> it does actually matter
23:33:38 <CWheezy> giving a gm wrong advice is pretty bad imo
23:34:07 <Brunius> While giving a gm wrong advice is bad, they shouldn't really be giving advice at all
23:34:22 <CWheezy> also not true
23:34:26 <CWheezy> also it is first steps lol
23:34:43 <CWheezy> it is different for a not replayable one
23:34:48 <poundpuppy30> pfs forum
23:34:58 <poundpuppy30> we use virtual tables
23:35:00 <CWheezy> ALSO I have caught gms cheating afterwards which is annoying
23:35:27 <Steven> no, it isnt any different. Replayable or not, you don't open up a scenario while playing it.
23:35:45 <Goya> Seems fair enough.
23:35:56 <Longshot> so its play by forum post instead of via skype like here?
23:36:38 <CWheezy> you also don't change numbers in a scenario so
23:36:41 <CWheezy> ????
23:36:51 <Steven> RAW
23:36:59 <Goya> DM discretion?
23:38:01 <Wrothmonk> a GM has the right to refuse anyone from play for any reason I believe.
23:38:49 Proquar has quit (Quit: nightie night)
23:40:27 <poundpuppy30> yeah theres alot of different ways to play
23:40:43 <poundpuppy30> they also post games on warhorn you can sign up on too alot of those posted
23:45:11 <Goya> Crap. I don't have a first level character..
23:49:15 <poundpuppy30> only takes a moment to create one lol
23:49:50 <Brunius> Play a pregen
23:49:55 <Brunius> Then apply the cred later
