27:15 <Voilei> Greetings everyone?
27:25 <Mekkis> is that a question?
27:41 <Yiroep> Hello?
27:55 <Mekkis> Is it me you're looking for?
28:01 <Voilei> No, more of a tentative greeting.
28:09 <Voilei> And no, not particularly, just new to the room.
28:16 <Yiroep> Anway, Welcome!
29:25 <Yiroep> Anyway*
29:55 <Voilei> So. I just recently discovered this room (just now through the website), and I guess I'm curious as to what goes on in here? I saw that there was a scheduled game, but beyond that exactly what goes on within the confines of here?
30:24 <Mekkis> Voilei, it's an IRC chatroom. We discuss stuff. Sometimes it relates to D&D/Pathfinder.
30:38 <Yiroep> We talk. Mostly about PFS. The majority of the people in this room are in Australia, for things that matter with time zones.
30:40 <Mekkis> Other times it relates to other things.
31:02 <Mekkis> Like how my kangaroo doesn't like hopping me to work in the rain.
31:10 <Voilei> Ha.
31:56 <Mekkis> It's annoying.
32:13 <Voilei> Oh?
32:37 <Yiroep> We have a local person with a summoner who's eidolon is shaped like a kangaroo with boxing gloves.
32:55 <Mekkis> I'll probably be late to work as a result. And the grazing areas that work provides will be all full. And muddy.
33:08 <Yiroep> whose*
33:44 <Voilei> Sounds like quite the problem you have there Mekkis.
34:02 <Mekkis> I know, right.
36:00 <Voilei> Hm, so exactly how does a session of PF play out in IRC? I myself have yet to deal with this in IRC so it piques my interest a bit.
36:40 <Mekkis> well, we use IRC for dice rolls and text communications.
37:55 <Mekkis> That's supplemented by using CA for mapping, and skype for voice
38:24 <Voilei> Hmm.
39:46 <Voilei> Interesting.
41:55 <Mekkis> Hmmm... If I scheduled Bonekeep here, would people play?
42:02 diebot has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
42:13 <Avatar> I'd play with a pregen
43:19 <Voilei> I have no idea.
44:43 <Mekkis> Time to see if my 'roo will cooperate this morning. Bye guys.
44:57 <Voilei> Ciao Mekkis.
47:11 <Avatar> have you played PFS before Voilei
47:24 <Voilei> No.
47:44 <Avatar> you are missing out
48:13 <Voilei> I don't doubt it, from what very little I have seen/heard it sounds interesting.
51:34 <Yiroep> Lol Avatar.
51:45 <Yiroep> It's so much more fun with an actual character...
53:33 * Voilei is pretty much out of the loop.
53:45 * Voilei nudges the loop slightly.
53:55 <Avatar> roll up a character
54:23 <Yiroep> Are you familiar with Pathfinder at all?
54:29 <Avatar> bonekeep is the scenario of death and I am allergic to death
54:40 <Yiroep> We didn't have any deaths when I played it..
54:52 <Avatar> I don't have any characters that are optimised out the wazoo
54:55 <Yiroep> O.K., a pregen died in part 2. I guess we had a death.
55:00 <Voilei> Not familiar at all.
55:34 <Yiroep> You'd be fine if you have a balanced party.
55:40 <Avatar> Voilei: http://pathfindersocietyonline.com/gettingstarted/firststeps/
55:40 <Yiroep> Voilei: Are you familiar with D&D at all?
55:45 <Voilei> Yes
56:15 <Avatar> the rules are in the PRD link on that page
56:31 <Yiroep> What edition of D&D are you familiar with?
56:45 <Voilei> I have been playing DnD for a while, and am currently involved in a completely broken campaign.
57:04 <Voilei> And uh, lemme see if I remember what edition of D&D that I've been dealing with.
57:16 <Yiroep> 4th or 3.0 or 3.5?
57:51 <Voilei> I think it was 3.5? But I'm checking with someone to make sure.
58:08 <Yiroep> If it was 3.5, you're in luck. The Pathfinder rule system is incredibly similar.
58:54 <Yiroep> It was originally based on 3.5, in fact.
59:00 <Voilei> Oh, really?
59:28 <Voilei> Hm, interesting.
59:48 <Yiroep> Yes. The first modules for Pathfinder Society were written in 3.5. Then Paizo branched out to form their own system called Pathfinder using a lot of the Open Game License from 3.5.
00:07 <Voilei> Aand it was indeed 3.5 apparently.
00:17 <Voilei> Hmm.
00:19 <Yiroep> Then Pathfinder should almost come naturally.
00:26 <Voilei> Hopefully.
01:03 <Yiroep> There's quite a few changes to the classes and how stuff like grapple, trip, disarm, etc. work, but a lot of the core mechanics are the same.
01:16 <Voilei> Hm, cool.
01:58 <Yiroep> Yes, I would look through that guide that Avatar posted and make a character.
02:41 <Yiroep> Just remember that a lot of the material available in 3.5 isn't the same because it's a new system. Like items or abilities you're familiar with that were from other books than the core rulebook aren't gonna be there.
02:45 <Voilei> I will when I get a chance. I'm heading off in 3 minutes, so I'll deal with it when I have the time.
02:49 <Voilei> Mmm
03:20 <Yiroep> But there's tons of Pathfinder splat books that expand on the system.

39:23 <diebot> Mekkis, 24
40:03 <Steven> so what up.
41:32 <Mekkis> Trying to get a summoner to be able to cast Crafter's Fortune
43:14 <Steven> a wand?
44:19 <Mekkis> would rather something more reusable
45:09 <Steven> its 50 day job checks for 2pp or 750g.
45:21 <Mekkis> not for PFS
45:23 <Steven> i'd say thats pretty reusable.
45:28 <Mekkis> Steven, do five-star GMs get scenarios for free?
45:41 <Mekkis> (other than specials and exclusives)
45:52 <Steven> not that i'm aware.
46:14 <Mekkis> so it's more likely that the VOs in my state are lying. Again.
47:06 <Steven> or it might be because im 4 star and dont know what 5 stars get.
47:33 <Mekkis> the originator is a 4 star VL.
47:36 <Mekkis> Named Steven.
48:36 <Steven> wasnt me who said 5 stars get scenarios for free.
48:50 <Steven> only one i know who gets scenarios for free are VOs.
48:51 <Mekkis> you're not the only 4 star VL named Steven.
49:17 <Steven> i'm the only one that matters! lol
49:30 <Mekkis> Steven, I wish that you were.
50:05 <Steven> why ya wanna know mekkis?
50:21 <Steven> lookin for somethin cool
50:58 <Mekkis> A couple of reasons. One of them is that Said VL is making these claims, and I'd like to be able to substantiate them.
52:03 <Steven> i dunno man, i got made a 4 star after i got to be a VL and i'll be a 5 star after i run first part of eyes tonight.
52:07 <Mekkis> The other is that knowing one way or the other will affect my future Paizo purchases.
52:41 <Steven> i dunno what benefits 5 stars really get.  It would be pretty cool if they got a bonus like that though.
53:11 <Mekkis> it would be strange if they got that, but Paizo didn't publicise it.
53:42 <Mekkis> Furthermore, if Paizo isn't publicising it for a reason, then said VL would be breaching his NDA.
54:05 <Steven> not really its annoying when people start doing things simply for the rewards.
54:21 <Mekkis> That I agree on.
54:52 <Steven> like if you do things solely on the fact you get rewards it ends up usually being a half ass job.
54:57 <Mekkis> But why would he tell it to everyone, if Paizo didn't want everyone to know?
55:44 <Steven> theres a store i know of that gives the GM some store credit for running(its only a dollar or two) but there have been some serious complaints
56:48 <Steven> about GMs basically rushing a scenario so they can get their credit... 
57:42 <Steven> We had a discussion of starting that at our shop and found these stories and i know a couple people who would begin GMing based solely on it.
58:09 <Mekkis> sounds like some GMs running first steps in extremely short periods of time, just to get the chronicle sheets...
58:17 <Mekkis> but yeah, it's disgusting
01:49 <Mekkis> these are the same people making the claims that Eyes of the Ten is being retired, in order to get local players to powerlevel their characters, so that they can replay Eyes.
01:52 <Steven> i dunno, if a group of people want to write off their entertainment and skip all the flavor of a scenario thats fine with me so long as they make all the requisite skill checks and actually run through their combats.
02:16 <Steven> but everyone needs to be in agreement
03:03 <Steven> otherwise they need to sit down and play the game.
03:37 <Mekkis> Is there anything in the VO agreement that would allow a VL from making false representations about Paizo's intentions?
04:13 <Steven> not that i read.
04:38 <Steven> they can make any extravagant claims they want so long as they dont break their NDA 
05:19 <Mekkis> even when they're representing Paizo?
06:21 <Steven> We are more like the guys who hand out food at a soup kitchen.
06:40 <Mekkis> So, a VL could say, while running GM 101, that Paizo will be releasing Version 2 of Pathfinder in the next two months, so you shouldn't bother buying a rulebook.
07:23 <Mekkis> (assuming that such a statement isn't breaking his NDA)
07:55 <Steven> We arent in charge, we can walk away at any time, we can spit vitriol at people we are serving(though doing so often sees us replaced), and none of it is against the rules really because we are volunteers.
08:27 <Steven> some of us take it more serious than others really.
09:24 <Mekkis> sure, but when a VL/VC says something Paizo-related, their words bear a fair bit more weight than some random player's.
12:05 <Steven> Not really, that's a product of players assigning us authority.
12:36 <Mekkis> the players assign you authority?
13:02 <Steven> VOs are just as fallible as the random player, go visit the forum and you can see many fine examples of VOs being flat wrong on a wide range of issues.
13:40 <Steven> many VOs were assigned the role of a VO because they were the first person to apply to the position.
13:56 <Mekkis> sure
14:19 <Mekkis> but if a VO says that Eyes is going to be retired, their words bear a lot more weight than if, say, I did.
14:36 <Steven> not in my eyes.
15:42 <Mekkis> hmmm. Is that because you have access to all the information that said VO would have?
15:50 <Steven> the only people who know if eyes is going to be retired is Brock/Compton and maybe a couple VOs.
16:09 <Steven> and those VOs would know how to keep their mouth shut.
16:14 <Mekkis> For all I know, there could be a post on one of the VO boards saying "Eyes is being retired"
16:54 <Steven> There could be.  There could also be one that says Eyes is never going to be retired, or one that says the level cap will now be level 11.
17:22 <Reach_Adrian> @Mekkis (Sorry just catching up on msgs): Honestly don't remember old nick, probably lvlupadrian or something like that? No idea. :P
17:27 <Mekkis> and the newer players are less likely to have channels to confirm this sort of thing
18:07 <Steven> Most VOs know better than to let slip privileged information posted on Coordinator board.
18:23 <Mekkis> Reach_Adrian, not just 'Adrian'?
18:51 <Steven> and the few cases that it was broken its been serious shitstorm.
19:00 <Mekkis> On Wed July 10 2013?
19:32 <Steven> what happened then? i dont remember.
19:46 <Mekkis> Steven, so, the fact that said shitstorm hasn't occurred pretty much confirms that he's lying?
20:05 <Steven> i'm not saying that
20:15 <Steven> not everyone is informed equally.
20:20 <Mekkis> Jul 10 08:31:56 <Adrian>        [06:46:08] hey all
20:20 <Mekkis> Jul 10 08:31:56 <Adrian>        [06:51:25] Thinking about how far ahead to schedule a game. Wanna do it before I have to fly to PAX Aus for work.
21:56 <Steven> mekkis have you played eyes?
22:03 <Mekkis> no, I haven't
22:21 <Steven> If you go and play it you will find out why there are so many rumors surrounding it.
22:42 <Mekkis> I intend to play it.
22:50 <Mekkis> probably some time this year
25:50 <Steven> im running it in about 12 hours.
42:31 <Avatar> driving me crazy how long it's taking to run it here
43:08 <Steven> we're about to have our third table...
44:13 <Avatar> rub it in
