00:13:58 * BoomerET waves
00:22:22 <Yuugi> Hiyo
00:22:30 <Yuugi> brb getting a drink
00:24:01 <Yuugi> back
00:24:14 <Yuugi> BoomerET: What RPGs do you play?
00:25:08 <BoomerET> Pathfinder Society, 13th Age, Torchbearer, Shadowrun and Call of Cthulhu
00:25:20 <Yuugi> Oh.
00:25:29 <BoomerET> Well, actually none of those, haven't played anything since Jan. 1st of this year.
00:25:37 <Yuugi> I've tried Shadowrun and it wasn't fun, but I dunno the others. (Other than PFS of course)
00:26:44 <BoomerET> It depends a lot on the GM, but some Genre's just don't work for some people. Like me, I hate supers and find it dull and boring.
00:28:17 <Yuugi> heh
00:29:06 <Yuugi> Any particular reason?
00:30:14 <BoomerET> Never really cared much for comics maybe?
00:31:16 <Yuugi> Oh, fair enough.
00:32:11 <Yuugi> Maybe it was the GM for me, because I was expecting something like Cyberpunk D&D or something like that... but it was kind of...
00:32:14 <Yuugi> Off.
00:34:54 <Yuugi> Although it could also be that I never read the rulebook. Reading the rulebook usually cements in my head what kind of playstyle I'd like for the game.
00:39:42 <Yuugi> That's pretty much 90% of why I want to run old-style D&D. I read the rulebook (only 64 pages!) and it looked fun!
00:41:52 <Yuugi> Though I'm thinking I might get more success if I were to run something more recent like a 3.5 D&D game.
00:43:13 <BoomerET> Have you taken a look at 13th Age or Castles & Crusades?
00:43:26 <BoomerET> Are you looking for lots of rules and mechanics, or more role-playing?
00:43:52 <BoomerET> I played a game of Dungeon World about a year ago, it was awesome.
00:44:08 <BoomerET> The GM was one of the games creators, so that had a lot to do with it I think.
00:44:24 <Yuugi> eh, I don't mind lots of rules or more roleplaying.
00:44:42 <Yuugi> As long as the system catches my fancy.
00:45:56 <BoomerET> I like PFS because it suits my schedule perfectly. One shots. I've played 4 games over the past 2 yrs.
00:46:49 <Yuugi> ... wow
00:49:49 <BoomerET> Yea, I don't get much free time these days.
01:00:56 <Yuugi> Well, at least you're keeping busy.
01:02:10 <BoomerET> Yes, it's family that keeps me busy, which I enjoy.
01:02:47 <Yuugi> oh? Do you play games with your family?
01:03:26 <BoomerET> No, my wife isn't one for games except Monopoly (which I hate) and Chess.
01:03:39 <Yuugi> Ah.
01:03:40 <BoomerET> I do play games with my son, but it's things like Lego or Minecraft.
01:03:50 <Yuugi> Those can be fun too
01:04:13 <BoomerET> Tonight we played with his little battery powered hamsters, had a good time.
01:07:34 <Yuugi> Cute
02:14:19 <Steven> sup sup.
02:33:05 <Steven> hey reaper
03:00:45 <Avatar> yo

03:09:37 <Steven> !throw 2d8
03:09:38 <diebot> Steven, 2d8: [2d8=6,8] 14
03:28:25 <Steven> so i made some gumbo for dinner, was freakin awesome.
03:30:13 <ReaperSage> thats nice
03:31:59 <Steven> game day in 18 hours... what to do till then.
03:33:38 <Avatar> run a game
03:34:00 <Steven> what would i run?
03:34:14 <Avatar> maybe a 1-5
03:34:25 * Steven scratches his epic beard.
03:34:59 <Avatar> words of the ancients is the next 7-11 I'm trying to get down
03:35:17 <Avatar> then I'll be set to do waking rune
03:35:20 <Avatar> on easy mode :(
03:35:28 <Steven> dont puss out do it on hard mode!
03:35:38 <Steven> im joking
03:35:42 <Avatar> a couple of the guys in melb want to do it on hard mode
03:35:43 <Steven> dont do it on hard mode
03:35:47 <Avatar> they really have no idea what they're asking for
03:36:03 <Avatar> they just think yeah cool hard mode it'll be epic!
03:36:19 <Avatar> but don't know about the cries of horror of unfairness on the boards
03:36:35 <Steven> it is epic... i have yet to hear of one table actually completing it on hard mode.
03:36:46 <Avatar> I have
03:36:52 <Avatar> it's there somewhere
03:36:53 <Steven> oh do tell!
03:36:58 <CWheezy> words of the ancients?
03:36:58 <Avatar> I don't know how they did it
03:37:04 <Avatar> I am trying to aviod spoilers as it is
03:37:05 <Steven> on the forum? going to check!
03:37:08 <CWheezy> I have read people defeating hard mode krune
03:37:24 <CWheezy> but When I read the reports, the gms are going super soft or they don;t understand how high level wizards work
03:37:36 <CWheezy> which is fair, but still
03:37:41 <Steven> Thats what i heard a lot of as well wheezy.
03:38:00 <CWheezy> he has wish
03:38:08 <CWheezy> even the basic use of wish is probably game over
03:38:19 <Avatar> is there directions on how to use that
03:38:31 <Avatar> surely there must be otherwise it's I wish for these 4 to die
03:38:49 <Steven> I also heard a lot of Quickened maximized empowered <Redacted>, Then Maximized Empowered <Redacted>
03:39:13 <Avatar> yeah esay mode it is
03:39:45 <Avatar> I thought portal of the sacred rune was suitably hard and suitably epic
03:39:51 <Avatar> why didn't they keep it at that difficulty level
03:40:08 <CWheezy> avatar, you use the wish spell for only the WRITTEN powers
03:40:08 <Steven> which... thats not much fun. Oh you saved well still take 90% of the barbarians health, and oh... the rest of the party is dead... gg.
03:40:13 <Steven> bend the knee bitches!
03:40:38 <CWheezy> and one of them is aoe plane shift
03:40:53 <Avatar> jesus
03:40:58 <Steven> i saw a GM do that, and it was like okay wow... thats not much fun.
03:41:10 <CWheezy> well he is a super overpowered wizard
03:41:19 <CWheezy> wish is a really, really really dumb spell
03:41:28 <Steven> It can be yes.
03:41:31 <CWheezy> and 25k at that level is pocket change
03:42:03 <CWheezy> he could wish for a planar binding of a terrible monster as a standard
03:42:39 <CWheezy> he could wish for a simulacrum of a pit fiend or a titan to appear and start owning
03:42:51 <Steven> of course on hard mode... he can technically go over and bring his herald buddy back up.
03:42:52 <CWheezy> he could wish for a prismatic wall!
03:43:13 <CWheezy> prismatic wall is hilarious
03:43:40 <Steven> one of my characters got plane shifted by a prismatic spray once.... nat 1 on a will save.
03:43:52 <Steven> poof off to another plane.
03:44:58 <CWheezy> that is spells for you
03:45:05 <CWheezy> prismatic sphere is more funny lol
03:45:18 <CWheezy> a permanent one would be nice
03:45:30 <Steven> my party got me back to the plane, i came back with a handfull of baubles at the end of the scenario.
03:45:47 <Steven> so i could sell em on my caravan!
03:45:59 <Steven> table laughed, GM laughed. tons of fun.
03:46:43 <Steven> First time i met Kyle Baird... halarious dude btw.
03:47:42 <Avatar> I think kyle baird is a troll
03:48:14 <Avatar> very occasionally he pops up with constructive posts and I wonder if I misread thet name
03:51:03 <Steven> damn i cant find the video... its fuckin epic though.
03:51:41 <CWheezy> I asked kyle ot be a better poster and he was like "Nuh uh I post how I want neener neener neener"
03:51:53 <CWheezy> without the insults and personal attacks, etc.
03:51:54 <Steven> Kyle Baird is not sober and looks over at Mike Brock and goes "Piggy piggy piggy piggy"
03:52:32 <Steven> and then like 10 minutes later, Mike Calmly stands up moves behind Kyle and puts him through a series of police/military holds
03:53:11 <Steven> Todd morgan who is sitting to kyles right, reachs over picks up Kyle's icecream and slowly begins eating it.
03:53:49 <Steven> Finishes about half of it, and then sets it down infront of Kyle just as Mike finishes the instruction on how to incapacitate someone who calls you piggy.
03:54:47 <Steven> kyle looks down sees half his icecream gone, looks over at todd and is like WHAT THE HELL MAN! Todd reply is "I'm a fat ninja!"
03:55:12 <Steven> i couldnt breathe at all.
03:56:29 <Avatar> did they call you an ambulance
03:56:49 <Steven> no, i had an inhaler i was using like crazy.
03:57:07 <Avatar> are you asthmatic
03:57:16 <Steven> oh yeah, super bad.
03:57:23 <Avatar> cool
03:57:28 <Avatar> I am epileptic
03:58:17 <Steven> HOLY FUCKIN BALLS! i can play Rise of the goblin guild.
03:58:23 <Avatar> how
03:58:36 <Steven> i havent played it! i must have mismarked it!
03:59:26 <Avatar> cool
03:59:38 <Steven> awesome possum!
03:59:40 <Avatar> I need someone to teach me how to get roll20 working
03:59:54 <Steven> are we playing it on d20?
03:59:58 <Steven> er roll20 even?
04:00:34 <Avatar> CA is the plan, but I could run it on roll20 if I could figure it out before friday night
04:00:59 <Avatar> I keep having problems trying to get the map to align and nobody seems to be able to help me figure out why
04:01:19 <Steven> thats the same problem i have with it!
04:01:59 <Avatar> I don't understand how there are people constantly able to run it when this seems like such an obvious flaw
10:16:44 <Bloodlust> and my horse has improved overrun - well greater overrun now
10:17:32 <Bloodlust> so I charge in, whack with lance, free action draw katana, horse knocks beastie on his ass which provokes and I hack it again, then we both keep riding off - rinse and repeat
10:18:58 <Bloodlust> It doesn't matter who is in my way as I can charge through my own guys and even one of them with "Charge Through"
10:20:09 <Bloodlust> Great for getting past plebs who like to shield casters
10:21:12 <Mekkis> sure, but because you have improved overrun, they can't avoid it
10:21:20 <Bloodlust> anyhoo, I need to decide what to do for the last three levels
10:21:21 <Yuugi> It almost sounds like you don't even want to level up at all.
10:22:02 <Bloodlust> of course I want to level up
10:22:11 <Bloodlust> I just am stuck as to what to level up TO
10:22:20 <Mekkis> more inquisitor
10:22:24 <Bloodlust> correct, they can't avoid it\
10:22:29 <Mekkis> or Some Prestige Class
10:22:42 <Mekkis> so you're knocking your allies prone
10:22:54 <Bloodlust> no, of course not
10:23:02 <Bloodlust> I charge straight through my allies
10:23:08 <Bloodlust> no harm to them at all
10:23:15 <Mekkis> charge through doesn't let you do that
10:23:30 <Bloodlust> I can also charge through one NPC and knock them prone on my wayto my REAL charge target
10:23:41 <Bloodlust> wheeling charge does
10:24:06 <Mekkis> that lets you take a 90° turn during a charge, right?
10:24:08 <Mekkis> and costs $10
10:24:21 <Yuugi> haha what
10:24:48 <Bloodlust> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/wheeling-charge-combat-local
10:24:58 <Bloodlust> Cities of Golarion
10:25:28 <Yuugi> Oh I see
10:25:49 <Bloodlust> That book has two of the best feats for mounted characters
10:26:18 <Bloodlust> Wheeling Charge and Indominable Mount (lets you use your ride skill to make saves for your mount once per turn)
10:26:47 <Bloodlust> My Ride skill is at +17
10:26:59 <Bloodlust> much better than any save it has
10:27:30 <Bloodlust> any ideas on a prestige class?
12:33:37 <Steven> that sleep was not near satisfying enough
13:08:57 <HTT-Bird> o/ Yuugi
13:09:34 <Yuugi> Hi.
13:12:12 <Yuugi> I think I might open up an off-shoot channel for my game.
13:23:31 <Yuugi> I just need to come up with a name...
13:23:55 <Steven> Dick Fingers|!
13:24:51 <Yuugi> I don't think that'd work as a channel name.
13:27:10 <Yuugi> What about #D&DFAG ?
13:32:05 <Yuugi> I picked #LL
13:33:49 <Steven> anyone wanna come play some CaH?
13:34:59 <Yuugi> What's that?
13:36:08 <Steven> cards against humanity
13:37:15 <Yuugi> ah
13:37:35 <Steven> me and some VLs are palying
13:42:56 <Steven> http://pyz.socialgamer.net/game.jsp
14:01:07 <Yiroep> Ugh. I can only take that game so many times.
14:01:15 <Yiroep> My friends have waaaay over burnt it out for me.
17:06:00 <Avatar> the guy who plays rick in the walking dead is british
17:40:23 <Brunius|M-> When's the next season starting
17:41:01 <Yiroep> For PFS? It's always Gen Con, so mid-August.
17:41:07 <Yiroep> Oh walking dead.
17:41:32 <Yiroep> I really should watch that, since it's filmed in my city and all.
17:43:11 <Avatar> oct 14th
17:44:46 <Yuugi> I kinda want to see Sleepy Hollow

18:00:53 <***> Buffer Playback...
18:00:53 <***> Playback Complete.
18:01:04 <Steven> cant wait till the gamespace is up and working how they want it to work.
18:01:23 <Mekkis> moin moin
18:01:29 <Steven> i've played around on that a bit, when it first came out so many damned bugs.
18:01:38 <Avatar> how do you get a beta invite to that
18:01:56 <Steven> i got it because i was a PaizoCon GM
18:02:27 <Steven> I dont know how else you could get in on it.
18:02:43 <Steven> I dont know who im allowed to give my beta key out to... suppose i should go look that up.
18:04:01 <CWheezy> avatar what do you need for roll20
18:04:18 <CWheezy> do you mean setting it up for gming
18:06:27 <Avatar> yeah
18:06:28 <Steven> as far as i can tell im not allowed to give you access yet avatar, but ill slip you a code as soon as im allowed.
18:06:55 <Avatar> thanks
18:07:04 <CWheezy> what do you need help with?
18:07:09 <CWheezy> register on roll20
18:07:15 <Avatar> I can't align the grid without the map snapping
18:07:18 <CWheezy> then start new campign
18:07:26 <CWheezy> even using the tool?
18:07:38 <Avatar> yeah after using the align to grid tool
18:07:39 <CWheezy> the alignment tool
18:07:48 <CWheezy> have you tried holding alt while stretching the map
18:07:49 <Avatar> it wants the image to be touching the horizontal and vertical lines
18:08:05 <CWheezy> that lets you stretch things to a custom size
18:08:18 <CWheezy> instead of snapping to a corner
18:08:34 <Steven> hmm. didnt know that. thanks wheezy
18:08:51 <CWheezy> yeah it is how you make tiny things
18:08:52 <Avatar> okay hang on that's helping
18:08:55 <CWheezy> like imp familiars
18:09:54 <Steven> thinkin of making my real housewife of taldor into a rage prophet
18:11:30 <Avatar> how do you make the viewing area bigger/smaller
18:11:37 <Avatar> where the map sits
18:11:48 <CWheezy> open the page toolbar at the top
18:12:07 <Avatar> ta
18:12:29 <CWheezy> then mouse over the page you are on, and click page settings
18:12:55 <CWheezy> it si probably obvious from there what to do
18:14:12 <Avatar> shit I think I have an aligned map
18:14:20 <CWheezy> yar
18:14:27 <Steven> holy balls of awesome!
18:15:43 <Avatar> quickly changed out of map & background mode and exhaled my relief
18:15:56 <Avatar> ONE DOWN
18:15:58 <Avatar> lol
18:16:37 <CWheezy> nice thing, it autosaves basically everything
18:18:32 <Avatar> good because that's the next thing I was looking for
18:19:51 <ReaperSage> how is everyone tonight?
18:20:12 <Avatar> loving it
18:20:32 <Steven> pretty good.
18:20:51 <Steven> i'm redoing my RHoT(real housewife of Taldor) again.
18:21:13 <Steven> looking at how it would be if i went rage prophet
18:22:11 <Steven> so i can play Rise of the Goblin Guild with it.
18:28:37 <Steven> meh.... dont particularly like the build.
18:29:18 <Steven> I mean at high level adding con to save DCs is cool, but really its just a character with 10/10/X/10/10/X where X is maxed as high as you can get.

18:41:26 <CWheezy> fair
18:42:22 <CWheezy> I don't think heavy armor turns off your hexes either
18:42:24 <CWheezy> just armor up
18:46:48 <Avatar> what do you guys think of versatile channeller
18:46:56 <Avatar> I was looking at that today for my cleric's 9th level feat
18:47:15 <Avatar> my cleric who can't hit anything with any weapon with his 10 str 10 dex
18:47:44 <CWheezy> why not a metamagic spell
18:47:46 <CWheezy> quicken?
18:48:01 <Steven> whats the dc of your channel?
18:48:09 <Brunius> !feat Versatile Channeller
18:48:09 <diebot> Brunius, VERSATILE CHANNELER []Prereq: Channel energy class feature, necromancer or neutrally aligned cleric (see below). You can choose to channel positive and negative energy.
18:48:10 <diebot> Benefit: You may make a choice whenever you use your channel energy class feature. If you normally channel positive energy, you may choose to channel negative energy as if your effective cleric level were 2 levels lower than normal. If you normally channel negative energy, you may choose to channel positive energy as if your effective cleric
18:48:10 <diebot> level were 2 levels lower than normal. Having this feat means you qualify for feats and abilities that have “channel positive energy” or “channel negative energy” as a prerequisite (for example, you qualify for the Command Undead feat and the Turn Undead feat). Source: UM
18:53:57 <Avatar> er
18:54:36 <Avatar> I have to check that because I haven't played this character in a while
18:54:44 <Avatar> he's level 9
18:54:50 <Avatar> with a 20 wis
18:55:04 <Steven> k
18:55:37 <Avatar> DC 17 I believe
18:55:50 <Avatar> 10 + half cleric level (4) + cha 16 (3)
18:56:33 <Steven> hmmmm... so it would be dc 16 for your opposed channeling... I wouldn't take it.
18:56:48 <Brunius> is this for Cairo
18:56:55 <Avatar> yeah
