00:10:50 <Steven> whats your real name anyways?
00:12:01 <Steven> oh yeah its andrew.

00:17:57 <Darkkapow> lol :D
00:18:05 <Darkkapow> I like these forums they are fun
00:19:18 <Steven> sometimes yes
00:19:32 <Steven> othertimes they are absolutely no fun at all.
00:20:20 <Mekkis> Steven, it's rude to give out other people's names online, without their consent
00:21:02 <Mekkis> I caused my first permadeath in Canberra today
00:21:08 <Mekkis> ummm Yesterday
00:21:09 <Steven> oh no.... now everyone knows his name is andrew.
00:21:23 <Steven> kapow quick change your legal name so you're safe
00:21:44 <Mekkis> Steven, would you appreciate it if I gave out your credit card details? Your IP address? Your ISP?
00:21:52 <Steven> sure go for it.
00:22:03 <Mekkis> The fact that your ISP has backdoored your modem and exactly how to get in and compromise it?
00:22:22 <Steven> save that i havent backdoored my modem.
00:22:32 <Mekkis> I know. THEY have
00:22:45 <Mekkis> Verizon and their subsidiaries do
00:22:50 <Steven> again... go for it mekkis.
00:22:55 <Mekkis> the modem listens on port 443.

00:35:23 <Darkkapow> it's okay steven that was mild compared to what i got when i let mekkis's real name slip XP
00:35:46 <Yuugi> wait
00:36:00 <Yuugi> You mean, Mekkis' real name isn't Mekkis? O:
00:36:09 <Steven> yeah, i could say mekkis' real name, but i dont wanna hear him whine for the next forever.
00:38:32 <Mekkis> I trust you not to.

02:21:27 <Spaceshot_tm2_> Yiroep; that is probably true, or at least mid next year some time, but they have said that the playtests will start in fall, so that's within the next 60 odd days
02:21:45 <Spaceshot_tm2_> most likely only the classes that have been shown already will be up first
02:21:48 <Yiroep> Yes, but not for PFS.
02:22:03 <Spaceshot_tm2_> PFS has always allowed playtest of classes
02:22:16 <Spaceshot_tm2_> not always at the get go, but still they do allow them
02:41:12 <Spaceshot_tm2_> hmm, I might even be tempted to run an AP rather than specific modules, since they work as modules anyway

18:31:24 <Mekkis> hey
18:32:58 <Brunius> moin
18:39:35 <Avatar> shalom !!
18:40:51 <Mekkis> Avatar, I should be able to play in tomorrow's game, but might be a little late due to dinner
18:44:34 <Spaceshot_tm2_> avatar/mekkis/brunius/whoever; how would you suggest I run modules (or AP sanctioned module parts) in here?
18:44:42 <Brunius> no comment
18:45:21 <Avatar> yeah okay sign up on the site
18:45:34 <Avatar> Spaceshot_tm2_: give me the details
18:45:55 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I was more thinking about how would you suggest I run it in the sense of time
18:46:05 <Avatar> quickly
18:46:19 <Spaceshot_tm2_> because modules are generally 3 scenario long, and would probably take 2 days to play, or just one really long day
18:46:44 <Avatar> if it's generally 3 scenarios long, run it as 3 sessions
18:46:59 <Avatar> gameplay is exhausting over long periods
18:47:28 <Spaceshot_tm2_> ruby phoenix was roughly 3 scenarios long, and we did it in 2 days
18:47:33 <Mekkis> Spaceshot_tm2_, I suggest you start by running scenarios
18:47:43 <Avatar> two full days
18:47:54 <Mekkis> to both built up the player-GM trust relationship, and to get a feel for it
18:48:19 <Spaceshot_tm2_> running PFS is no different from running a premade dnd/pf scenario
18:48:37 <Mekkis> sure
18:49:27 <Mekkis> but there is one diffence
18:49:41 <Spaceshot_tm2_> and the whole "player-GM trust" thing is a bit far fetched
18:49:48 <Spaceshot_tm2_> otherwise you probably wouldn't be playing PFS in the first place
18:49:54 <Mekkis> if I sign up for your PFS game, I know that IF you're completely horrible at it and it's a painful experience, at least it'll be over in 5 hours
18:50:09 <Mekkis> If I sign up for your AP, I don't have that freedom
18:50:23 <Mekkis> and I'll be losing four hours a week doing something I don't enjoy
18:51:13 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I said AP sanctioned modules, which are generally the length of a normal module
18:51:14 <Avatar> running a scenario first is a good idea regardless
18:51:18 <Spaceshot_tm2_> so at most it's 14hrs
18:51:30 <Spaceshot_tm2_> probably is, but I really don't want to run a scenario
18:51:37 <Mekkis> that's 9 more hours with a bad GM than I'm willing to spend
18:51:43 <Avatar> why not
18:52:34 <Spaceshot_tm2_> characters don't usually develop relationships with each other in your general scenario
18:53:15 <Spaceshot_tm2_> which I like in roleplaying games, but I, and I'm also guessing many others, can't easily stick to a set gaming scedule, so PFS is the next best thing
18:53:29 <Mekkis> Avatar, when did Buck develop his relationship with Ulzef?
18:53:54 <Spaceshot_tm2_> that's because they've probably played many a scenario with each other
18:53:55 <Avatar> race for the runecarved key
18:54:14 <Spaceshot_tm2_> that isn't something that you'll expect to happen in PFS
18:54:34 <Spaceshot_tm2_> if it does, it does, but it's not something that happens every scenario
18:54:56 <Mekkis> Avatar, actually, it happened in Cyphermage Dilemma
18:55:15 <Avatar> I haven't played cyphermage dilemma

20:12:16 <Brunius> bang
20:12:32 <spider21b> dang
20:12:57 <Mekkis> two top guns so far today
20:16:02 <CWheezy> holy shit this npc is the best
20:16:09 <Avatar> unlikely !
20:16:11 <CWheezy> If a PC has initiated a romantic involvement with Belok they must weather his ferocious appetite for athletic love-making (leaving them fatigued unless they succeed on a DC 25 Fortitude save every night they spend with him) or risk losing his interest and faithfulness
20:16:42 <Avatar> sex is cheap
20:16:56 <CWheezy> that fort save
20:17:13 <Avatar> what's this for
20:17:37 <Avatar> Mekkis: yeah really
20:18:01 <CWheezy> a wizard with 30 int casting cloudkill
20:18:04 <CWheezy> or one night with belok
20:18:18 <CWheezy> both of these things are equal difficulty
20:20:59 <CWheezy> it is from razor coast
20:21:04 <CWheezy> he is an npc you can interact with
20:27:34 <CWheezy> razor coast is pretty sick
20:27:42 <CWheezy> too bad it is third party and can never be sanctioned
20:31:09 <Mekkis> you know, you don't HAVE to play everything for PFS XP
20:37:28 <CWheezy> I don't, I am running way of the wicked this weekend

21:39:12 <Avatar> trust Bloodlust
21:39:30 <Bloodlust> eh?
21:40:11 <Spaceshot_tm2_> that reminds me, techincally Ava hasn't died nor gone to level 4 yet
21:40:14 <Avatar> trust you
21:40:18 <Spaceshot_tm2_> so I don't know how to feel
21:40:48 <Spaceshot_tm2_> dem slow reporters
21:40:48 <Bloodlust> trust me for what?
21:40:59 <Avatar> everything !
21:41:07 <Bloodlust> absolutely :)
21:41:17 <Bloodlust> School holidays starts tomorrow afternoon :)
21:41:26 <Avatar> nice
21:41:31 <Avatar> forget school
21:41:48 <spider21b> school is good for some
21:41:56 <Avatar> forget about it
21:42:58 <Bloodlust> *mafia voice*
21:43:02 <Bloodlust> forget about it
21:43:07 <Avatar> forget about it
21:43:09 <Bloodlust> I have to teach the little darlings
21:43:23 <spider21b> teach them what subject?
21:43:41 <Bloodlust> I still can't get a damn character put together. No matter what I look at I just don't like it.
21:43:45 <Bloodlust> English
21:44:30 <Avatar> what happened to your witch
21:44:40 <Bloodlust> meh
21:45:19 <Bloodlust> 5 charisma lol
21:45:30 <Avatar> what do you mean

21:45:58 <spider21b> hey bloodlust do you teach what type of english like creative writing?
21:46:03 <Avatar> I don't get what the story is with tieflings
21:47:02 <spider21b> what about them avatar?
21:47:15 <Avatar> anything about them
21:48:33 <spider21b> there isn't one i think
21:49:38 <Bloodlust> normal high school English but I am a writer also
21:50:43 <spider21b> hum i would love for someone to look at a book i am writing it needs a ton of editing
21:50:57 <Bloodlust> I'm not an editor
21:51:11 <Bloodlust> You need to pay them heaps :)
21:51:36 <Bloodlust> I did just hear back from the publisher though, they liked my children's picture book so it's currently "in development"
21:52:36 <spider21b> nice
21:52:46 <spider21b> idk just at least just look at the frist few pages
21:53:31 <Bloodlust> do I get paid heaps? lol
21:53:35 <Bloodlust> okay, email me
21:53:47 <Bloodlust> I'll look at the first couple of pages
21:55:31 <spider21b> cool

22:01:37 <Bloodlust> What's up with the lack of punctuation/capitalisation?
22:03:28 boris ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
22:04:49 <Bloodlust> Description would be beneficial here.
22:04:58 <Bloodlust> "She looked into the fire" for example.
22:05:25 <Bloodlust> How about:
22:07:48 <Bloodlust> "Her eyes sparkled as the eternal flames danced upon the cold surface. No amount of fire was going to warm those eyes, her gaze transfixed on the playful lapping of red and orange over cinders".
22:08:57 <Bloodlust> "She had a bag full of hate and distaste for the world around her" - bag full of hate is vague and could be worked upon
22:10:58 <spider21b> nods
22:11:18 <spider21b> i am a horrible self editor
22:11:23 boris has quit (Quit: )
22:12:06 <Bloodlust> "Like the cinders in the fire, she wanted the whole world burned to ash and be tasted on her lips. That aching tension in her stomach, that knotted pain was echoed in everything she saw. There was no joy in those eyes, only pain, hate and fury."
22:12:10 <spider21b> more showing and less telling
22:12:12 <spider21b> ?
22:12:18 <Bloodlust> yes
22:12:38 <spider21b> need to work on that
22:13:05 <Bloodlust> It just comes with time and practise
22:13:36 <Bloodlust> Picture yourself in the scene. What do your senses try to tell you?
22:13:41 <Bloodlust> You have more than just yours eyes
22:14:28 <Bloodlust> In those two examples I've got sight, touch and taste
22:15:02 <Bloodlust> easy enough to bring in sound with "crackling flames" "popping of wood" or "the sizzling scorching of skin"
22:15:28 <Bloodlust> also alliteration/assonance are good techniques to use
22:16:16 <Bloodlust> sound could also include the screams of the condemned, the lashing of whips, the dragging of chains
22:16:27 <spider21b> i mean, should i structure the whole thing in a different way i tried using third person omniscient not sure if that works
22:16:29 <Bloodlust> smells are easy to do as well.
22:16:45 <Bloodlust> always easiest
22:19:15 <spider21b> do you do the same type of thing for character backgrounds?
22:19:48 <Bloodlust> I never write character backgrounds
22:20:43 <spider21b> really?
22:21:02 <spider21b> even if the dm asked for it?
22:21:05 <Bloodlust> really
22:21:15 <Bloodlust> pfs doesn't require it
22:21:38 <spider21b> i mean if you did homebrew or 3.5?
22:22:04 <Bloodlust> haven't played in one in many years
22:22:20 <Bloodlust> need a patron for this tiefling witch
22:30:10 <Avatar> check time or deception
22:30:15 <Avatar> those were the best I found
22:30:54 <Bloodlust> yeah, probably time
22:31:14 <Bloodlust> I'm thinking this witch has just crawled out of the worldwound and joins the pfs lol
22:32:11 <Bloodlust> hey it says that the familiar can only carry witch spells - does that mean you can't learn non-witch arcane spells at all?
22:32:27 <spider21b> yep
22:33:00 <Bloodlust> crap
22:33:20 <Bloodlust> so you'd need to dip sorcerer or wizard then I guess
22:33:46 <spider21b> or get feats to get some
22:33:58 <spider21b> like dragon heritage or shadow or somthing like that
22:45:11 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I remember when a DM asked for us to bring a background next session on the first session, she was expecting a few lines from everyone, I ended up writing about a page or so
22:46:36 <spider21b> yea i have an idea for my barb/soc named Uilchanar
22:49:39 <spider21b> he lost his sister since he was sold to slaverly, he escaped by the help of some wormling dragons and he was raised by there moter
22:49:43 <spider21b> mother
22:49:46 <spider21b> sorry a bit tired
22:50:28 <Spaceshot_tm2_> heh
22:51:29 <Bloodlust> do I go watch Riddick?
22:52:59 <spider21b> Prismatic dragons i was thinking
22:53:43 <Spaceshot_tm2_> Ava sunrock was raised by dwarves after her home burnt down, she was saved by the gods yet she got irriversably deaf, only being able to hear the sound of fire
22:53:53 <Spaceshot_tm2_> thus the sunrock last name even though being human
22:54:40 Bloodlust has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
22:54:50 <spider21b> nods
22:56:37 <Spaceshot_tm2_> for me I usually make character concepts/backgrounds from the visuals I get in my head when looking at different class abilities, especially alternative or choice options
23:08:31 <spider21b> nots makes sense
23:09:05 <spider21b> i mean i got my idea for leaf because i felt how would a barb know magic and i was like dragons
