03:19:35 <Steven> gonna go play some d3
03:26:47 <Brunius> hello SimpleSimon
04:16:43 <Avatar> yo
04:17:22 <Avatar> I have a question
04:17:32 <Avatar> if you play a 7-11 playing down
04:17:36 <Avatar> and you are level 10
04:17:41 <Avatar> which gold do you get
04:17:57 <Avatar> pre season 5
04:21:27 <Steven> you get out of subtier gold
04:21:33 <CWheezy> yeah
04:21:39 <Steven> after august 15th
04:22:01 <Avatar> they were trying to tell me I get tier 10-11 gold
04:22:06 <Avatar> I didn't think that was right
04:22:41 <Avatar> they were saying you only get out of subtier if you're level 9
04:22:53 <Steven> tell them they need to read the GtoP
04:23:05 <CWheezy> yeah because that is clear
04:23:21 <Avatar> what page is it
04:23:45 <CWheezy> it is on multiple pages
04:24:43 <Avatar> Step 5: Determine the Max Gold for the scenario based on
04:24:43 <Avatar> the PC’s advancement rate and the subtier played. Circle the
04:24:43 <Avatar> applicable value (F). If the PC’s level is not within the subtier
04:24:43 <Avatar> played (such as a 1st-, 2nd-, or 3rd-level character in Subtier
04:24:43 <Avatar> 4–5), circle the Out-of-Subtier gold value or calculate the Outof-Subtier value for Seasons 0–4 by taking the average of both
04:24:43 <Avatar> subtiers and rounding down.
04:29:01 <Avatar> I can't believe that I've only just retired one character and now I'm already only 5 scenarios away from retiring another
04:31:32 <CWheezy> I can't believe its not butter
04:31:54 <Avatar> ya
05:37:54 <gumnut> hi all
05:43:46 <Avatar> yo
05:43:54 <Avatar> do you play PFS
05:44:05 <gumnut> what's that
05:44:29 <Avatar> pathfinder
05:44:36 <gumnut> i never heard of it
05:45:02 <Avatar> you are missing out
05:45:15 <gumnut> oh ok
05:45:18 <gumnut> what am I missing out on?
05:45:28 <Avatar> sweet gaming
05:45:48 <gumnut> hmm I don't really have time for games these days
07:51:38 <Mekkis> moin
07:52:09 <Mekkis> There once was an old man from Esser,
07:52:10 <Mekkis> Who's knowledge grew lesser and lesser.
07:52:10 <Mekkis> It at last grew so small,
07:52:10 <Mekkis> He knew nothing at all,
07:52:10 <Mekkis> And now he's a College Professor.
07:53:57 <gumnut> hi all
07:54:02 <Mekkis> hi
07:54:17 <gumnut> hi Mekkis
07:54:21 <Mekkis> hi
07:54:41 <Mekkis> are you interested in online RPGing?
07:55:04 <gumnut> oh Avatar told me something about pathfinder
07:55:09 <gumnut> but I got d/c before I was told
07:55:48 <Avatar> you said you didn't have the time for games
07:56:09 <gumnut> true, but doesn't mean I don't have an interest
07:57:02 <Mekkis> Avatar, could I get some feedback on how I ran WotW?
07:57:46 <Avatar> soitanly
07:57:57 <Avatar> in here or in pm?
07:58:09 <Mekkis> either
07:59:06 <Avatar> it started well at the beginning with the jail breakout and the ogre and the test
08:00:07 <Avatar> tiadora and the master were pretty good
08:00:26 <Avatar> the whole training thing was good
08:00:41 <Avatar> you used a solid amount of leniency in letting me get creative with it
08:00:51 <Mekkis> I try to
08:01:01 <Avatar> I got a bit lost in what was going on when we got on the boat
08:01:17 <Avatar> the battles were the best part of that, so the sooner we got into those battles, the better it was
08:01:24 <Avatar> even though I nearly died
08:02:03 <Avatar> after we blew it up, the geography of the land threw me a bit
08:02:11 <Avatar> I think we spend a bit too much time on that, but that might be me
08:02:21 <Avatar> meeting the bugbear leader was cool
08:02:29 <Mekkis> the "sabotage Balintyne"? bit?
08:02:32 <Avatar> I didn't roleplay but my character was cagey
08:02:47 <Avatar> what
08:02:51 <Mekkis> or the "journey by sea" bit
08:02:56 <Avatar> journey by sea
08:03:08 <Avatar> trying to learn it was sort of important
08:03:16 <Avatar> but I got frustrated
08:03:23 <Avatar> it felt a bit slow
08:03:30 <Avatar> the whole boat bit did
08:03:42 <Avatar> the only good parts about that were dealing with the captain, the battle, and the bugbears
08:03:49 <Avatar> and I think we spent a pretty huge amount of time on that
08:03:55 <Mekkis> what were the other parts?
08:04:03 <Avatar> I don't remember
08:04:06 <Avatar> maybe we were fucking around
08:04:23 <Avatar> so anyway, after we left and got into balentyne
08:04:43 <Avatar> I felt pretty significantly lost as to what we were supposed to do
08:04:51 <Avatar> like obviously we were meant to figure it out
08:05:11 <Avatar> all we knew was that there was that inn and the castle and nothing else
08:05:22 <Avatar> and all we had to go on was lintor's disguise
08:05:36 <Avatar> I think we needed more options to begin with
08:05:51 <Mekkis> there were more options
08:05:57 <Avatar> yeah but we didn't know what they were
08:06:05 <Avatar> it was a guessing game and it wasn't fun
08:06:09 <Avatar> and we did it for like 5 sessions?
08:06:26 <Avatar> the diplomacy checks that I made for ages didn't get us far
08:06:51 <Avatar> discarding balin getting into the castle, I don't know what we would've done
08:07:13 <Avatar> I don't know how much the book gives you that you could give us
08:08:09 <Mekkis> you could have discovered the affair between the two captains, and exposed it. There was a secret passage between the inn and the keep. There were blood relations between the bartender and one of the captains.
08:08:52 <Mekkis> Kapow's slaughter of the dwarves was effective
08:08:54 <Avatar> exposing the captains likely would've exposed us
08:09:00 <Avatar> or put more attention on us
08:09:03 <Mekkis> depends how you did it.
08:09:11 <Avatar> I don't think we found out about a secret passage?
08:09:24 <Avatar> that would've been huge
08:09:35 <Mekkis> you were close. Remember that you heard footsteps in the inn in the middle of the night?
08:09:56 <Avatar> that doesn't really mean anything when you can't see it though
08:10:00 <Avatar> those could be coming from any direction
08:10:19 <Mekkis> you could have investigated
08:10:50 <Avatar> I think in a lot of the games you run you tend to give out fewer details than what we need
08:11:01 <Avatar> like you misjudge what's "enough" to keep moving forward on
08:11:37 <Avatar> waiting for us to ask isn't always the best thing to do
08:11:58 <Avatar> like in that situation you could say you feel it's reasonable safe to investigate
08:12:42 <Mekkis> ok
08:12:54 <Avatar> anyway yeah the last act was really dragging on and I'm sure everyone felt that
08:12:58 <gumnut> hi emuls
08:13:07 <Avatar> the last session was awesome
08:13:13 <gumnut> got ignored there buddy looooooooooooooooool
08:13:57 <Avatar> the whole thing ended as well as it started
08:14:03 <Avatar> just in that last session
08:14:25 <Avatar> I don't think you could've anticipated how long we'd take, to be fair
08:14:42 <Avatar> if you knew it was going to take 5 sessions to get there, you probably would've sped it up
08:14:55 <Avatar> but we needed more info
08:15:01 <Avatar> that was the crux of the problem in that last act
08:15:18 <Mekkis> I figured it'd take about 4 sessions per act
08:15:38 <Avatar> I was bored for a lot of that last act
08:15:50 <Avatar> we were really doing a lot of guesswork
08:16:16 <Avatar> you could tell by the fact that when one person thought up a plan, the others didn't really have much of a say on whether or not it was any good
08:16:17 <Mekkis> alright. Those investigations are always hard. How do you run City of Strangers 1?
08:16:50 <Avatar> no idea, I had a quick look at the book for city of strangers 1 a couple of days ago to see if that's what I should run this coming weekend and I didn't recognise any of it from when we played it
08:17:08 <Mekkis> Ballig ran it for you, ja?
08:18:12 <Avatar> probably, I remember he definitely ran part 2
08:18:19 <Avatar> because I remember the first encounter
08:18:28 <Mekkis> I remember playing part 1, then jumping onto Darkwhite's table for part 2
08:19:52 <Avatar> I mean I think it's even enough to say other places won't really be important except the inn, the castle, and the market to buy stuff
08:20:05 <Avatar> if the book doesn't list anywhere else of note in balentyne
08:20:25 <Mekkis> noted.
08:20:28 <Avatar> some sort of map would've helped
08:20:45 <Avatar> it's a bit like playing blakros matrimony without CA !
08:21:13 <Avatar> it's kind of telling that everywhere we had a map was better than anywhere we didn't
08:21:16 <Mekkis> like playing LSK spending sessions in Willow Ridge buying cows?
08:21:38 <Avatar> that was my first time ever GMing :P
08:21:46 <Mekkis> I know
08:21:47 <Steven> i thought blackros matrimony with no map was great!
08:21:49 <Steven> lol
08:21:52 <Avatar> it was not
08:21:55 <Avatar> it was un-great
08:22:07 <Avatar> try anything once
08:22:13 <Steven> oh come on, i gave you guys huge breaks on stuff.
08:22:23 <Mekkis> I didn't think the lack of a map was what didn't make it great!
08:22:38 <Avatar> getting huge breaks wasn't worth playing without maps
08:23:08 <Avatar> verisimilitude of large parts of the game were lost
08:23:25 <Avatar> it was especially apparent when I GM'd it with the maps
08:24:18 <Steven> I think the fight at the beach could have used a map
08:25:04 <Steven> course i dont particularly like the blackrose matrimony, but mostly cause every time i had ran it there was an andoran in the party and the scenario pretty much gives them the middle finger.
08:26:42 <Steven> but now no more faction missions!
08:27:28 <Steven> oh and avatar, you ever figure out what boon you wanted?
08:30:09 <Mekkis> wayang
08:30:52 <Mekkis> my VL is putting me in charge of the boons this con...
08:31:47 <Steven> dont do it man... its boring as shit!
08:32:03 <Steven> i did it at pax...
08:42:06 <Avatar> we don't have a hundred tables to do it with
08:55:38 <Steven> alright, im goin to take me a nap... avatar figure out a boon you want
09:03:27 <Mekkis> time to give Paizo more money...
09:26:31 <Avatar> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag-mFowwGho - for the australians
09:26:36 <diebot> Avatar, A Liberal voter explains it for you

09:49:03 <Mekkis> Avatar, did you vote for the Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party?
21:59:50 <Mekkis> there are very few people I would wish that fate on.
21:59:56 <Mekkis> At least one of them is in this channel
22:00:42 <CWheezy> I probably wouldn't wish that fate on anyone, since I don't think I am someone to be judging that kind of thing
22:02:07 <Steven> I imagine i would die long before the fire got me... smoke inhalation.
22:07:03 <Steven> there we go all my emails answered
