00:00:15 <Bloodlust> I'm still waiting for my VTT gameday boon for Gming
00:01:29 <Darkkapow> Hey cool I can oversee the giving of a gm's 5th star!
00:03:31 <Mekkis> whose?
00:04:18 <Darkkapow> someone who qualifies if they want to go for it.
00:05:08 <Darkkapow> has to be organised through a VC but I can still oversee it and make the decision for the VC once it's arranged
00:06:12 <Steven> once i get a few more games imma see if walter wants to oversee mine. nice and easy.
00:06:27 <Mekkis> can you arrange for me to receive Seige of the Diamond City and Bonekeep?
00:07:23 Gamera has quit (Quit: )
00:09:19 <Steven> if you are GMing a convention thats easy
00:09:28 <Mekkis> I did
00:09:30 <Mekkis> twice
00:09:34 <Mekkis> and didn't receive it
00:09:50 <Steven> did you GM those?
00:09:59 <Mekkis> yes
00:10:19 <Steven> was the call of the organizer then.
00:11:43 <Darkkapow> can vouch for the fact he did XP and was meant to receive them but didn't
00:11:49 <Darkkapow> just not going to give him my copy XP
00:12:15 <Steven> specially since you cant. Its against the guide.
00:12:33 <Darkkapow> exactly
00:14:46 <Mekkis> really?
00:14:55 <Mekkis> I thought it was against Paizo TOU
00:14:59 <Mekkis> not the Guide
00:15:08 <Steven> also against the guide.
00:15:26 <Mekkis> really? Where?
00:23:16 <Ulzef> right ladies and gents i am off to sleep see ya all later

04:04:49 Steven has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
04:05:29 <Brunius> aw shit
04:05:34 <Brunius> I need an inventory tracking sheet now
04:09:04 <Brunius> !hp 9d10m3
04:09:04 <diebot> Brunius, 85
04:12:54 <Avatar> what is that hp thing
04:15:16 <Brunius> the HP a pfs character will have with 9 levels in a d10 HD class, with a bonus of +3 at each level
04:15:32 <Brunius> eg a paladin with 14 con, putting his favoured class bonus into HP
04:22:16 <Avatar> nice
04:23:10 <Avatar> !hp 8d8m2
04:23:10 <diebot> Avatar, 59
04:30:07 <Darkkapow> !hp 11d10+5

04:30:17 <diebot> Darkkapow, 125
04:30:25 <Darkkapow> !hp 9d10m5
04:30:26 <diebot> Darkkapow, 103
05:18:30 <Ulzef> what time is wotw tomoz?
05:20:15 <Brunius> 10am, it says
05:20:42 <Brunius> if you hadn't said that just then I don't think I'd have remembered it's tomorrow
05:21:43 <Avatar> does nobody read the topic or the site anymore
05:22:23 <Brunius> I just read the topic, actually
05:26:50 <Darkkapow> I knew it was tomorrow
05:26:54 <Darkkapow> but i was thinking 10am my time
05:26:59 <Darkkapow> so probably means 9am my time XP
05:27:03 <Darkkapow> stupid day light
05:31:19 <Avatar> daylight is dumb
05:40:24 <Ulzef> see one question just ment our table turns up
05:42:15 <Ulzef> also good i just called spam dont think he knew
05:44:59 <Ulzef> well i guess i shall see you all in the morning
07:59:19 <Mekkis> Can you imagine the moon landings if Samsung got the contract for the onboard computer and Apple had kitted out mission control? Either bits of Armstrong and Aldrin would be splattered across the moon's surface because of some gross incompatibility, or they'd land safely, and immediately Apple would sue Samsung because the compatibility must mean that somewhere along the line one had copied the other.
08:07:17 <Bloodlust> back
08:07:21 <Bloodlust> Ashley bashing again?
08:07:30 <Avatar> no because these were early days where that kind of thing is half-expected
08:07:39 <Ulzef> sometimes you dont like race folr the rune carved key
08:07:44 <Ballig> expected by whom
08:07:49 <Mekkis> Avatar, that's never stopped you
08:07:58 <Ulzef> or stephen ask you to switch tables to make up numbers and neglects to mention his name
08:08:10 <Ulzef> or your at the con and its the only table you havn't played
08:08:29 <Avatar> you can't compare being eaten by an outsider dog that never gets hungry to a yeti that comes down to your cave looking for lunch
08:08:40 <Steven> if you sit down and he is GMing, decline to play and ask to be reseated.
08:08:52 <Avatar> the yeti is feasable, the hungry outsider mauling the guy on the ground isn't
08:09:01 <Ballig> or make sure the organiser knows there's a GM you won't play with so he doesn't ask you to switch to that GM's table
08:09:12 <Avatar> Steven: you can't be reseated, you'd just be not playing
08:09:15 <Ulzef> Steven we have like 3-4 tables per seasion not 15-30 like alot of the big cons in the US
08:09:15 <Mekkis> the outsider dog that's waiting to be fed?
08:09:42 <Avatar> that doesn't need to eat a guy on the ground asap
08:10:11 <Avatar> apples and oranges
08:10:33 <Ballig> but the yeti was hungry too
08:10:43 <Ballig> coincidence ?
08:11:20 <Avatar> it's laughable that the equivalent would be that we walked into the monastery and there'd be nothing in there because they were out looking for food
08:11:45 <Avatar> scaling, I suppose !
08:13:25 <Ballig> the bugbears were out looking for food
08:14:06 <Mekkis> so someone coming up with a reasonable, but borderline tactic is fine to be brought up on it, but someone who ignores Run As Written for a punishment encounter is all god?
08:14:18 <Mekkis> good*
08:15:31 <Ballig> probably a determining factor is that in one Avatar's character died, in the other it was another player's character
08:15:43 <Ballig> you would ordinarily expect the player of the character who died to have the biggest motivation to call foul
08:15:45 <Ulzef> i hate run as writen having to be resolved at the table cause you dont know they didnt until you read the senario yourself
08:16:11 <Ballig> yeah, you just assume it was legit that a yeti came into your cave on your way home
08:16:20 <Ballig> and you're considered a whinger if you keep asking the GM "er, really? it says that?"
08:16:57 <Ulzef> hell you say that all game they say yes you get home read it and are like well that isn't what krune does .....
08:17:07 <Avatar> we knew it didn't say that, but we also knew we were trying to be cheap and it was probably justified
08:17:23 <Avatar> we basically got there and got altitude sickness, so went back down to camp to get around it
08:17:38 <Avatar> he didn't like that so sent them after us
08:17:38 <Mekkis> that's reasonable
08:17:50 <Avatar> right, at the time, it sounds fine
08:17:57 <Avatar> but it's not run as written and because of it, a character died
08:18:10 <Avatar> in really unusual circumstances
08:18:18 <Ballig> did the character die because the yeti surprised you all
08:18:26 <Ballig> or did the character just die at some point in the encounter
08:18:29 <Avatar> I think it had more to do with the size of the cave
08:18:39 <Avatar> can't remember
08:18:50 <Avatar> because we were blocked in there with a dastardly mob
08:18:53 <Ballig> considering that you would have had altitude sickness if you'd played the encounter in the normal area, it probably evens a bit
08:19:02 <Ballig> and you can get just as blocked in in the normal area
08:19:04 <Avatar> it wasn't a big open area, it was like a 15x15 type thing
08:19:12 <Ballig> and if it's the encounter I'm assuming, it is pretty nasty
08:19:31 <Avatar> it wasn't anywhere near the same as if we'd done it in the right spot
08:19:46 <Avatar> the problem was it was impossible to get any room
08:19:51 <Avatar> and the thing was doing massive damage
08:20:00 <Ballig> when you ran it we fought the yeti in a doorway
08:20:12 <Mekkis> Avatar, I remember that yeti
08:20:13 <Avatar> yeah but you could move away
08:20:20 <Mekkis> recall that we retconned it?
08:20:23 <Avatar> they were blocking the way out
08:20:39 <Ballig> more than one yeti attacked?
08:20:40 <Avatar> I don't remember a retcon
08:20:45 <Ballig> you retconned Mekkis's death
08:20:47 <Avatar> yeah there was 2
08:20:49 <Avatar> ah, woops
08:20:54 <Ballig> because he wasn't actually able to use a reroll on the roll he did
08:20:57 <Avatar> I remember the con 10 guy dying
08:20:57 <Mekkis> you rectonned Asmel's survival
08:21:05 <Ballig> did he
08:21:08 <Avatar> I worked out the issue with the trap having a 1d4 round reset and a 20 minute ritual right next to it
08:21:13 <Ballig> oh, you mean retconned as in removed it
08:21:20 <Mekkis> yeah
08:21:47 <Avatar> what does that have to do with anything
08:22:23 <Ulzef> man i want the new play test now
08:22:41 <Avatar> playtest for what
08:22:54 <Ulzef> new 10 classes
08:23:13 <Ulzef> from advanced class guide
08:27:34 <Steven> should happen sometime in the next coming months if patterns hold true
08:30:09 <Ulzef> you went to the Q&A right mekkis gitch mentioned something about it being about a month off
08:30:17 <Mekkis> I don't know.
08:30:34 <Mekkis> Wes Schnieder says that people at paizo don't know what they're doing
08:31:27 Yiroep ([email protected]) has left #d&d
08:32:00 <Darkkapow> hey ulzef run you have what you hold now
08:32:27 <Ulzef> lol no
08:32:34 <Ulzef> havn't preped it yet
08:33:01 <Avatar> hey kapow run among the living now
08:33:10 <Darkkapow> no you can go get stuffed after earlier
08:33:19 <Avatar> like you were going to run it anyway
08:33:30 <Steven> oh you guys full of so much hate.
08:33:34 <Darkkapow> definitely not anymore
08:33:42 <Avatar> definitely not ever !
08:33:46 <Darkkapow> and that's not for not letting me play on the table
08:33:56 <Darkkapow> I've run all 3 already
08:34:43 <Avatar> I'm likely running a 7-11 next
08:35:09 <Steven> which one you runnin avatar?
08:35:15 <Avatar> maybe portal of the sacred rune
08:35:21 <Avatar> can't keep waiting for storming the diamond gate to happen
08:35:29 <Avatar> can't get the players for it
08:36:17 <Avatar> or possibly one of the other 5 scenarios I've bought and haven't been able to get running !
08:36:45 <Darkkapow> I do enjoy having access
08:36:56 <Darkkapow> makes life so much easier doesn't it steven.
08:37:41 <Steven> pretty much yup.
08:38:40 <Bloodlust> I've saving level 11 for Ruby Phoenix with you Avatar
08:39:30 <Avatar> need to line up players if that's going to end up happening
08:39:47 <Avatar> I think ballig and damalon would be the only ones here who haven't played it
08:40:06 <Darkkapow> I haven't played Ruby Phoenix I am in the same position.
08:40:06 <Bloodlust> you can recruit easily enough from the boards
08:40:13 <Darkkapow> Henry is 11 waiting to do ruby then eyes
08:40:49 <Mekkis> Any chance Buck, Ulzef and Deceased do Eyes together?
08:42:24 <Avatar> who's going to GM that
08:42:35 <Avatar> I don't know if this melbourne game of eyes is happening
08:42:41 <Avatar> it was supposed to be in july
08:42:52 <Mekkis> I'm willing to wait
08:42:58 <Mekkis> there's no urgency
08:43:12 <Avatar> dunno, andrei was organising that one
08:43:25 <Mekkis> Better to have it with a group you enjoy, with a good GM, than to rush it and get Ashleyed
08:43:39 <Ulzef> Ulzef just hit 10 so he has a ways to go
08:46:18 <Avatar> the melbourne game was going to include ashley to play
08:46:53 <Mekkis> I don't feel like fragging him
08:47:44 <Ulzef> ashley played it online now anyway
08:47:45 <Avatar> we could run it in here if we keep running high levels
08:47:52 <Avatar> all of us have 6+ characters now
08:47:56 <Avatar> level 6+
08:48:08 <Bloodlust> my guy is only level 6 though so it'll be a little while yet
08:49:16 <Darkkapow> I wouldn't play eyes online.
08:49:28 <Darkkapow> I think it would be a total waste of the experience.
08:51:04 <Mekkis> I'd be willing to fly to Melbourne (or Brisbane) to play Eyes. I won't play it online
08:51:21 <Darkkapow> I figured you would be with me on that one
08:51:30 <Darkkapow> I was literally just about to quote you
08:52:02 <Darkkapow> some scenario's are just too rare / important to be played online
08:52:20 <Mekkis> Stolen Heir
08:52:37 <Mekkis> Darkkapow, any update on PFS between Christmas and newyear?
08:53:36 <Darkkapow> I've told everyone I want to run something or do maybe a module or something boxing day or day following.
08:53:58 <Darkkapow> at this time most people are too family plans up in the air to give me a yes no though
08:54:06 <Mekkis> Flood isn't able to run Echoes II-IV?
08:55:03 <Darkkapow> I'll talk to him again on wednesday when we have tsar.
08:56:17 <Darkkapow> If he's not down I'll more than likely run godsmouth heresy
08:56:27 <Darkkapow> or another module
08:56:49 <Darkkapow> or story arch component.
08:56:54 <Bloodlust> I can do godsmouth - got it all set up
08:57:20 <Darkkapow> was a fun one
08:57:33 <Mekkis> I enjoyed it when I played it
08:57:34 <Bloodlust> yeah, can be deadly
08:59:21 <Darkkapow> I'm still waiting on paizocon to be reported and wednesday
09:00:58 <Bloodlust> I'm still waiting for my VTT gameday boon for Gming
09:02:11 <Darkkapow> Hey cool I can oversee the giving of a gm's 5th star!
09:04:15 <Mekkis> whose?
09:05:00 <Darkkapow> someone who qualifies if they want to go for it.
09:05:51 <Darkkapow> has to be organised through a VC but I can still oversee it and make the decision for the VC once it's arranged

22:54:54 <Steven> yo
23:03:51 <Darkkapow> yo
23:08:10 <Steven> so kapow you ever constrict chain somebody>
23:35:15 <Darkkapow> no
23:35:16 <Darkkapow> wtf is that?
23:35:56 <Steven> its when you have a creature with grab and constrict
23:36:15 <Steven> so you attack, grab, constrict, free action drop grapple. move on to other attacks.
23:36:21 <Darkkapow> i had an idea what you meant
23:36:25 <Darkkapow> but the chain pard
23:36:32 <Darkkapow> eye
23:36:35 <Darkkapow> ew*
23:36:39 <Darkkapow> god no
23:36:42 <Darkkapow> jesus christ i can't type
23:36:45 <Darkkapow> idiot fingers
23:36:51 <Steven> fo sho.... its super nasty
23:38:24 <CWheezy> you can just keep the grabble instead
23:38:27 <CWheezy> without penalties
23:38:56 <CWheezy> penalties to attack and defense that is
23:40:07 <Darkkapow> stupid registered nick bullshit
23:40:07 <Steven> yeah but you dont constrict on the rest of the attacks.
23:40:44 <Darkkapow> steven do you know of anyone at all out of like the 37 people who got them with a goblin boon that's unused?
23:41:07 <Steven> all the people i know used them.
23:41:26 <Darkkapow> I figured, even Mike thought they'd pretty much all been used :/
23:41:38 <Darkkapow> trying to find an unused one for a christmas present
23:41:57 <Darkkapow> figured it an impossible task but had to try
23:42:02 <Steven> thats gonna cost a mint.
23:42:31 <Darkkapow> If i can ever find one that's unused :/
