47:53 <Steven> up
47:54 <Steven> sup
01:21 Gamera ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
01:36 <Brunius> Tashes: What is their actual metric for no problems?
05:01 <Tashes> Total disconnection time is less than whatever their requirement is
25:57 <Whitey> use pingplotter, show them a graph
26:06 <Whitey> show the point of failure is the LNS outside of your network
26:45 <Tashes> i think the biggest problem is there isn't a tech within 100kms of here so they're gonna keep delaying until there is. 
27:03 <Tashes> but thanks for that, downloading the trial now
40:24 <Avatar> tashes
40:29 <Avatar> just take a screenshot of this channel
40:31 <Avatar> and send it to them
40:43 <Tashes> i've been keeping a log. 
04:16 <Mekkis> how is Evolve, Avatar ?
06:14 <Lintor> ello peps
07:03 <Avatar> yo
07:20 <Lintor> how goes picking your game to run avatar
08:23 <Avatar> wounded wisp was the plan
08:33 <Avatar> unless you want me to run a 5-9 or 7-11
08:51 <Lintor> what day were you thinking of running again?
09:10 <Avatar> either this weekend or weekend after next
09:26 <Avatar> sorry I haven't really been making that clear because of the scheduling with eyes being juggled around
09:46 <Lintor> sweet i can only do every second weekend now adays :( the other week i have a game every day
10:02 <Lintor> how is eyes going
10:04 <Avatar> is that the right timing for oyu
10:10 <Avatar> we're doing part 2
10:42 <Lintor> this weekend would be i ran a 9 hour blackros matrimony this weekend
10:57 <Lintor> this sunday just gone i mean
11:24 <Avatar> have you updated your scenarios on the site
11:37 <Lintor> purdy sure i can double check
13:06 <Brunius_> steven2, is there a way on austnet to lock people out of your name? I know there is on freenode
14:04 <Avatar> you don't even have below the silver tarn checked off
14:08 <Avatar> haven't you played that?
14:28 <Lintor> i ran it have ticked that one like 3 times it just doesn't wanna take
14:57 <Avatar> are you sure you've clicked both GM'd and played
15:12 <Avatar> and clicking the update link from each section
16:49 <s_gmusic> you can register a nick, then use a kill command, same as on rizon and elsewhere. it's what I've had to do when my connection's derped
17:11 <Brunius_> One of the networks I'm on will kill anyone that doesn't identify within 5min
18:15 <Brunius_> anyone with a certain nick, that is
19:26 <s_gmusic> ah
21:30 <Brunius> steven2 : identify, then type "/nickop set modnick on"
21:42 <Brunius> that should boot steven off your username whenever he tries to use it
33:01 <Mekkis> Made gourmet bolognese sauce :)
02:47 * Mekkis sighs
02:58 <Mekkis> looks like I will be playing Eot10
25:47 <Steven> buy consumables
32:45 <Mekkis> I don't know if I have much money, to be honest
32:55 <Mekkis> spent most of it on my Staff of Abjuration
37:57 <Mekkis> Who is this Goya person?
45:43 <s_gmusic> don't feel bad, Steven. someone just told me that I was sick (minor congestion and I've sneezed a dozen times the past hour), but I'm fine! honest!
47:10 <Steven> he used to play online.  He is from the US as well.
54:52 <Avatar> amazing thx for asking
56:40 <Mekkis> ah
01:25 <Steven> lol
01:25 <Steven> alrighty... I think we have agreed on what games to play for our core group.
01:39 <Steven> We get people like that who come to gamedays to play.
02:35 <Steven> they have a 'light congestion' and then everyone else at the table gets sick.
11:48 <s_gmusic> I'm no longer congested since I sat up, though, so I got that going for me.
22:14 <Mekkis> worth the money?
29:24 <Avatar> worth all the money and more
39:25 <Avatar> you can get it on g2play for $45-50
53:12 <Brunius> I played it a couple times during the beta, using my brother's copy
53:16 <Brunius> I didn't think it was that great
53:21 <Avatar> you were wrong
54:07 <Avatar> maybe you were playing a different game
56:47 <Brunius> I was playing with americans
56:58 <Avatar> there's problem #1
57:16 <Brunius> y
18:40 <Brunius> Avatar 
29:41 <Mekkis> plus a shitton for DLC
31:02 <ulzef> oh unless you mean the game and it's wrath of the righteous  
31:22 <steven> oh dude... dont do a slumber witch for that game.
31:57 <steven> That entire campaign is fantastic with some of the most interesting combats they have ever designed.
32:15 <ulzef> I'm not just took the hex at lvl 2 I am going a shape shifter witch at higher lvls
33:12 <steven> wotr is pretty crazy.
33:14 <ulzef> I am scared witch doctor/hedge with with transformation patron 
33:43 <steven> I was a Bloodrager Champion.
34:18 <ulzef> oh and ten alignment so I can get demon grafts
34:54 <ulzef> TN even
35:10 <ulzef> stupid phone auto correcting 
35:48 <steven> I had like 636hp at the end of it.
36:23 <steven> I was able to go -72hp w/o dying.
37:03 <steven> and if somehow i managed to die i stayed around in my body for 13 rounds.
37:06 <ulzef> I will be able to go about - 200
37:41 <steven> i forgot rage... add like 100hp.
38:55 <ulzef> my bab will be like 25 by the end
39:18 <ulzef> hi rashes
39:39 <ulzef> ah god dan phone sorry tashes 
39:44 <steven> last fight my attacks were +46/46/41/36/31 for 1d8+42 if I crit I did 234 damage if I crit a demon I did 298.
40:02 <ulzef> nice
40:34 <steven> AC 62 w/ Immediate action +10 dodge AC.
40:39 <Avatar> I got the monster expansion pack
40:44 <Avatar> it was $2 more than the base game on g2play
41:26 <ulzef> we have me a half orc with a Orc barb/cleric a human mercy healer a gun paladin a shilf Druid and a fight going noble scion
41:26 <Brunius> it has DLC out already?
41:33 <Brunius> hasn't the game been out for like a week?
41:47 <Avatar> day one DLC
43:10 <steven> saves of 39/16/20 +2 vs Death Effects, +3 vs Will, +4 vs Enchantment spells and effects, +4 vs poison, +4 vs Evil spells and effects or spells and effects cast by evil creatures.
43:16 <steven> and so on and so forth
43:29 <steven> my sheet was completely full by the end of the game.
43:50 <steven> AND i was the <redacted> of <redacted>
44:01 <steven> which gave me a whole slew of abilities.
44:34 <steven> the sad part was i was not the most powerful person in the party.
45:26 <steven> that belong to the Warpriest of Torag who vital strike'd at least 2 times a round and if he crit did 1800 or so damage.
46:49 <steven> this was before the final version came out in the ACG where they got a slight nerf... but still vital strike w/ mythic rules is just dumb.
47:57 <ulzef> yeah our gm nerfed the feat already
48:39 <steven> its a really dumb feat.
48:55 <steven> all my vital strikes are crits! yay!
49:37 <steven> hey i have a legendary weapon!  I have mythic vital strike... my vital strike is a crit that then deals double damage.
50:10 <ulzef> we did to mythic 3 in another game and had a power attack vital striking paladin with both being mythic so the gm nerfed it for this
51:45 <steven> In our kingmaker game we have 1 mythic tier, and my arcane archer is a vital striker.
52:18 <steven> and the GM was like NO YOU CANT TAKE MYTHIC VITAL STRIKE!
52:38 <steven> which was funny... because i didnt want to take it anyways.
52:41 <ulzef> lol
53:21 <steven> I do 3d8+23+1d6 elemental
54:01 <steven> i think thats enough damage for one shot.
54:25 <steven> i crit on a 19-20.
54:42 <steven> and i can fire just shy of 1/2 of a mile.
56:25 <steven> or through the ground
56:38 <steven> and around corners.
57:06 <steven> I dont think we are going to get to finish the game however.  the gm moved back to seattle at the start of janruary.
57:46 <steven> after a devistating session where we did mass combat and his average dice roll was a 17.
58:05 <steven> so he slaughted the fuck out of our armies.
58:25 <steven> because our average dice roll was like a 5.
59:21 <steven> mass combat easily the worst system that has been designed.
00:24 <ulzef> baht the caravan rules for jade reagent are worse
00:36 <steven> i havent interacted with those yet.
00:56 <steven> but do you get to use your character's skills and abilities or are they taken away completely
01:10 <ulzef> taken away
01:23 <steven> ah... so it is exactly like mass combat in that way.
02:04 <ulzef> except for like 2 fights and you have no more wagon
02:42 <steven> sounds like mass combat.
17:49 <s_gmusic> Anyone played as or with an Ulfen Guard? http://www.archivesofnethys.com/PrestigeClassesDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Ulfen%20Guard
23:32 <Avatar> ?

03:03 <Steven> they have a 'light congestion' and then everyone else at the table gets sick.
12:16 <s_gmusic> I'm no longer congested since I sat up, though, so I got that going for me.

22:59 Magus ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
23:26 <Magus> How's it going?
23:34 <Avatar> loving it
24:09 <Magus> So, I obviously just saw the post you made, but I was wondering if you did any lower level stuff
24:26 steven_ ([email protected]) has left #d&d
24:30 <Magus> I want to get back into the game but even my faction no longer exists xD
24:32 <Avatar> yeah we run whatever people want to play
24:36 <Avatar> where you located
25:08 <Tashes> i'm keen on a lvl 1. Just saying. Prefer not weekends
25:09 <Magus> I'm in Pittsburgh, so EST but work a night schedule
25:44 <Avatar> mate I'm in EST and I'm australia
26:33 <Avatar> tashes: grab a pregen
26:37 <Magus> Fun Fun. Why did Cheliax go away, anyway? And is everything earned with them useless now?
27:25 <Avatar> cheliax didn't go away
27:28 <Avatar> they're dark archives now
27:51 <Magus> who... are plotting revenge against Cheliax according to their faction info
28:29 <Avatar> well it's complicated
28:30 <Magus> I read the basic stuff. former Chel ambassador id the Dark Archive boss
28:31 <Steven> play season 4 and 5
28:54 <Magus> Well, I would like to xD
29:06 <Steven> mostly the 1-5s, most of the story of why cheliax turned into dark archive is in there.
29:12 <Magus> I'm willing to play literally anytime I'm not working
29:26 <Magus> Better then. I was worried.
30:36 <Magus> Yea, definitely want to make a new sorcerer and try playing again. just in person is too hard to do regularly
35:44 Magus has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
36:03 Magus ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
36:57 <Magus> So... Yea. Is there a new intro campaign? Or anything like that?
38:00 <Mekkis> umm... First steps 1, Confirmation. 
38:03 <Mekkis> Other than that, no
38:12 <Steven> first steps, confirmation, way of the wisp
38:30 <Magus> So should I be looking for someone to run that then?
39:19 <Magus> At this point I will play anything I can play soon though 
46:30 <Magus> Hmm.
47:15 Magus has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
53:58 Magus ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
54:05 <Magus> I *think* I'm properly connected now.
54:35 <Magus> So, yea. Should I just design my character and look for postings for those few then? Or just jump into any low level one where I am accepted?
55:55 <Steven> yeah.
55:57 <Steven> pretty much.
56:08 <Steven> sorry i was busy having a conversation with my VC.
56:12 <Brunius> I'd jump into anything you can, just make sure you tell the GM that you're new
56:47 <Magus> *nods* I just got home from work myself. Would I be able to get some opinions of you guys while designing him then? I have a pretty solid idea on what I want to do
59:22 <Steven> we are full of opinions!
59:54 <Magus> Any good ones? :P
00:06 <Steven> hey... you never said you wanted good opinions.
00:21 <Magus> So I'm definitely making a Sorc. Infernal or Draconic blood. Since the penalty for cross is brutal
00:51 <Magus> So Infernal I suppose, since I can't act at all and being a sexy charismatic genius just comes naturally to me
01:05 <Magus> I couldn't even type that with a straight face. Sheesh.
03:17 <Magus> Oh, cool. I just found my first character sheet.
03:29 <Magus> I did Asmodius Mirrage, and murder on the silken caravan
04:07 <Magus> But again, Cheliax isn't a thing. So should I just basically clone this sorc and pick the dark archive?
04:37 <Magus> and 8 12 12 13 8 20 seems awkward
06:24 <Mekkis> oh no...
07:19 <Mekkis> I might be about to spend $300,000.
11:02 <Magus> I'll take bad opinions too at this point
15:18 <Steven> sorry had to do some dishe.
19:17 <Magus> Is there a convenient updateable character sheet to do this online?
19:26 <Steven> so you have a character with credit on it already
19:49 <Magus> The Cheliax character I had is just completely gone from my paizo page
19:55 <Magus> It only has my old purchases and no characters
20:07 <Magus> So, I have a character I essentially want to try all mapped out at least
20:33 <Magus> My character was from Dec 6 2009 xD
20:45 <Steven> do you have the chronicle sheets for it?
20:56 <Magus> Yep!
21:11 <Steven> then congrats its still a legal character!
21:19 <Magus> How can I add it though?
21:42 <Steven> what level character is it?
22:25 <Magus> 1 Still.
22:31 <Magus> Only have 2 sheets
22:37 <Magus> That's probably all I did 
23:10 <Steven> quick somebody become a VO so i can talk about stuff!
23:13 <Avatar> oh no...
23:19 <Avatar> the sahaugin have FOUND me!
25:00 <Steven> alright... so you have a level 1 character with 2xp, some amount of gold, and some prestige.
25:08 <Magus> Aye sir.
25:29 <Steven> In PFS anytime before you play your first game at second level you can rebuild that character into whatever you want.
25:56 <Magus> Oh good. Since I think  8 Str, 12 dex, 10 con, 14 int, 8 wis, 18 char. is a better call
26:38 <Steven> no....
26:42 <Steven> no that is a terrible call.
26:51 <Steven> 10 con is horrible.
26:56 <Magus> So lower int, higher con again?
27:04 <Steven> what race are you going to be?
27:14 <Magus> Human 
27:17 <Mekkis> Avatar, how are you going in Eyes?
27:30 <Avatar> playing part 2 weekend after next
27:40 <Steven> well you get to build with a 20 point buy.
28:04 <Steven> 8/12/14/14/10/18
28:18 <Avatar> I'm not sure what the delay has been since arcanacon
28:25 <Avatar> andrei was in WA for the whole christmas break and then some
28:39 <Avatar> shaun is always keen for a game and aleksia is like me
28:46 <Avatar> maybe matt is busy
28:48 <Steven> that will get you 5 skill points a level w/o favored class options.
28:59 <Magus> Isn't that like, 27 points?
29:11 <Magus> Or is the +2 on the 18?
29:13 <Magus> Yea
29:13 <Magus> nevermind
29:34 <Magus> Definitely a better call.
29:47 <Steven> yeah... 14con>10con
29:58 <Magus> Bigger numbers are better numbers.
31:06 <Steven> most times.
31:09 <Magus> So my feats were Eschew materials(Given), Toughness, and Spell Focus:Charm
31:35 <Magus> Spell focus can be dropped, because of the innate Infernal bonus later. I don't know why it was picked to start
31:42 <Magus> Remembering me six years ago is hard.
31:50 <Mekkis> hm
32:08 <Mekkis> Oh, looks like I will be down there for Conquest.
32:19 <Steven> probably because dc16 is decent at 1st level.
32:51 <Magus> That's certainly fair. And charm person can be a lot better than magic missile
32:56 Gamera ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
33:11 <Avatar> here comes trouble
33:25 <Mekkis> me? Trouble?
33:25 <Magus> And fiendish presence/Fast talker
33:30 <Avatar> ya
33:45 <Magus> Okay, so as I rewrite my skill points
33:55 <Magus> What can I do to get these sheets added?
34:08 <Magus> And if I don't, that is still okay. I mean, it's only two things and I have a character to work with
34:16 <Steven> do you still have your pfs number?
34:31 <Avatar> magus: are you playing a regular character or a core character 
35:56 <Brunius> I won't be
36:11 <Avatar> mate we are surprised if you do show up
36:16 <Avatar> the default is that you won't
36:20 <Magus> I have my account one, and the GM PFS numbers on the sheets. but not linked in any way
36:26 <Brunius> I used to make an effort for cons
36:32 <Brunius> Huh
36:42 <Brunius> Magic has a 38% female playerbase
36:49 <Magus> Well, I only used the core book, and the society information that was available for faction selection stuff
36:51 <Mekkis> heh
36:56 <Avatar> he means the pfs number on your account
36:58 <Mekkis> Brunius, when are you starting your uniing?
37:05 <Avatar> the GM's PFS number is his 
37:18 <Magus> 54053
37:26 <Brunius> orientation is the 24th/25th, lectures/classes/timetabled stuff starts march 02
37:29 <Avatar> is that yours or his
37:32 <Magus> But again, my character I had on there is gone
37:33 <Magus> Mine
37:46 <Magus> I had this same Cheliax mage, but now it only lists my purchases
37:47 <Magus> nothing else
37:49 <Mekkis> cool
37:52 <Avatar> is your character brand new
38:16 <Magus> The one I just made is, my previous attempt went through two scenarios. Asmodeus Mirage, and murder on the silken caravan
38:26 <Avatar> gotcha
38:26 <Magus> That is the missing one, yet I still have the sheets
38:41 <Avatar> so your pfs number for your second character is 54053-2
38:47 <Magus> It has been 6 years ish since I logged in though. 
38:54 <Avatar> yeah it sounds like it
38:58 <Magus> THere is only the one listed, the new one I just made to hopefully join you guys.
39:01 <Avatar> that's a pretty old PFS number
39:15 <Avatar> they're up to about 110000ish now
39:27 <Magus> Heh. Like my DCI number for Magic the Gathering
39:35 <Magus> "What do you mean it is 4 digits?"
40:02 <Magus> And like I said, if I just have to roll with a new character and these two scenarios are gone, that happens.
40:04 <Magus> No big deal.
40:10 <Magus> It's more important that I get set to properly play again
41:07 <Mekkis> how many days is your timetable?
41:29 <Brunius> 5, although most of thursday is free
42:18 <Steven> you should be able to play that old character in pfs... if it is not showing up on your paizo account send a ticket into customer support.
43:28 <Magus> Mmk, I'll do that. And in the meantime still set up this second character
43:46 <Mekkis> oh no
43:52 <Mekkis> I know what that means
43:56 <Avatar> oh I thought your first character died
44:05 <Avatar> you kept talking about it in the past tense
44:06 <Magus> Oh, but what set up is used to share our character sheets with the DM for sessions. All through D20?
44:11 <Magus> Oh no, it's just missing.
44:25 <Avatar> your character is missing?
44:36 <Magus> From the website, but I have the physical papers
44:42 <Magus> again, it's a minor point. He only did two scenarios
44:44 <Avatar> from paizo.com?
44:47 <Magus> Yep
44:56 <Avatar> do you know who GM'd them
45:13 <Magus> Yes. Jeff Kokx,  GM # 8830 
45:26 <Avatar> just chase him up
45:36 <Avatar> don't lose out on the two scenarios
45:45 <Avatar> that's two more 1-5s everyone has to suffer through before they get to 7-11
46:10 <Avatar> you think it's only two, but it adds up
46:20 <Avatar> we had another guy in here a couple of weeks ago saying exactly the same thing with three scenarios
46:39 <Avatar> he was ready to give those up too since he hadn't played in so long and lost his chronicles
46:46 <Avatar> turned out I GM'd two of them for him and still had them
47:04 <Avatar> that's five games just between the two of you to catch up on
48:02 <Magus> I emailed them, and I'll call when they open too.
48:46 <Magus> How often do you guys do the lower end stuff?
48:57 <Avatar> well this is the way it works
49:11 <Avatar> usually someone like you comes in and says hey I'm keen to play a low level game
49:17 <Avatar> and then we talk for a few hours
49:22 <Avatar> and then you never end up coming back
49:35 <Avatar> if you're here, we can play 
50:30 <Magus> I'm afraid you won't get rid of me quite as easily
50:36 <Magus> I've been looking into this for a good while
50:47 <Magus> And the PFS group seems a better place to do it
50:58 <Magus> Only two shops near me have any pathfinder stuff, and they aren't doing society
51:11 <Magus> So online was the best option
54:34 <Magus> Anyway, registered on Roll20, character is updated ish on the PFS site, and I'm fixing my skills now. So I guess that is all I can do until something is available, right?
55:43 <Avatar> sounds from the podcast that soverign court is now the worst faction
55:50 <Avatar> I guess you would like it mekkis
56:00 <Avatar> it involves not sharing information with the party
56:48 <Avatar> and hassle someone to run a game
56:49 <Avatar> ah? they are making liberty's edge so you have to free slaves
56:57 <Avatar> does crating them up after freeing them count?
57:05 <Avatar> steven's in the US, he can run a game
57:14 <Avatar> or mekkis or brunius or lintor/ulzef or me
57:22 <Avatar> Buck is exchange, phew
57:30 <Avatar> you can play in the one on saturday if you want
57:42 <Avatar> just use a level 7 pregen and apply credit to your 1st level dood
57:49 <Avatar> like tashes is going to do
57:55 <Magus> Oh? I didn
58:00 <Magus> t know it worked like that
58:12 <Magus> I'm definitely up for a game anytime saturday
58:22 <Magus> Hopefully I can do one sooner, to start learning again
58:32 <Tashes>  I'm busy this saturday Avatar . Not weekends is better for me
58:48 <Magus> Two person event right now xD
59:06 <Magus> Oh, you even said hassle. I don't have to feel bad
59:43 <Avatar> yeah hassling GMs works wonders
59:44 <Tashes> If he's in the USA isn't sunday evening monday morning for us? Run it then! :p
00:00 <Avatar> I work monday mornings tashes!
00:06 <Tashes> Steven?
00:19 <Steven> what?
00:21 <Avatar> can you do friday nights
00:42 <Steven> its 2am on a tuesday and i'm sick.
00:58 <Magus> Likely story xD
01:02 <Steven> i dont want to be awake right now, but i gotta keep the fire going or i'll just get sicker.
01:19 <Magus> Ooph.
01:54 <Avatar> steven: they mean later, not now
02:19 <Magus> (I meant now) Yea, totally. Hmm. 
02:26 <Avatar> you meant later you filthy liar
02:28 <Magus> So many of these posted things were cancelled
02:33 <Avatar> I gotta run out for a bit
02:37 <Magus> No, I totally mean right now. I don't work again for like 16 hours
02:51 <Tashes> i can play in 12 hours
02:58 <Tashes> but my boy just got home and its snuggle time
02:59 <Magus> Thanks for your help Avatar <3
03:09 <Magus> Generally a better time.
05:26 <Tashes> Steven stoke it up and go to bed
07:57 <Steven> my plan is to go to bed at 3am.
08:14 <Steven> when i can toss some wood on it and then let it go till my room mates wake up at 6am.
08:38 <Magus> That is an ugly situation sir.
08:41 <Tashes> or you could go to bed now and set an alarm
08:52 <Tashes> wake up in a few hours to throw wood on
08:54 <Magus> Cold is the issue
08:57 <Magus> not the waking up I feel
10:16 <Steven> its currently 0C
10:27 <Steven> if the fire goes out then the pipes might freeze.
11:07 <Magus> Put the faucets on at a trickle. But at just 0, still in the house shouldn't be too bad
14:47 <Steven> its going to get colder is the problem.  its at exactly 0 right now prolly reach -4 or -5
15:24 <Magus> Yea, it's -19C here right now. I can relate -.-
16:38 <Steven> its been a mild winter as far as snow goes, but the temperatures are wonky as fuck... tomorrow i think its going to get up to 11C
17:08 <Magus> We've been getting pelted with freezing rain -.- I'd prefer just snow
18:36 <Magus> I actually should have another person with me to start playing. She is unfortunately even more newbish than I am.
18:50 <Magus> I at least had a lot of tabletop practice in the military and highschool -.-
18:57 <Magus> But she just started in the last few months
19:30 <Magus> I'm mildly worried. Since real groups tend to be... Absurdly chauvinistic and uninviting to new people?
19:47 <Magus> That's why I'm here to see if it can work to any extent xD
21:17 <Steven> i think that depends on where you go.
22:09 <Steven> I know at the game store i oversee we tend to squash that shit pretty hard... if you wanna have a character that bangs a new girl every night thats fine but dont go into details.
22:09 <Tashes> magus: you her and i should be a nice scope of noobish then ;)
23:02 <Magus> Heh.It's a shame. I mean, I run the pretty typical nerd stereotype
23:13 <Magus> and I *constantly* hear people complaining that girls never play here, etc. at different stores
23:34 <Magus> but when they show up, the guys are assholes and go out of their way to point out how little the person knkows in offensive ways
23:39 <Magus> making it a self fulfilling prophecy
23:58 <Steven> yeah we dont really have that problem at my gaming store, by in large it still caters to guys because well... it just does.
24:11 <Steven> but we have a decent number of girls that show up to play.
24:37 <Magus> That's good to hear. The only place I've ever seen do it right was the store I played PFS at actually. A place in Denver Colorado
24:54 <Magus> I am not as impressed by the east coast of the US, or the places I saw in london
25:56 <Steven> i remember one table at gencon that just... ugh.
26:00 <Magus> I hope this goes well. I really really do. Hopefully you guys are providing an accurate cross section of the group here :P
26:21 <Magus> Playing NWN2 servers just isn't cutting it for my dnd fix lol
26:30 <Tashes> ( . )( . )
27:10 <Steven> there was an older guy and his son, two stereotypical bros, and what seemed to be a regular dude.
27:48 <Steven> and the next 4 hours was dick and fart jokes with the old man trying to get his character to sleep with anyone
28:07 <Steven> by far the worst table i've gm'd at a convention.
28:43 <Tashes> Sounds like any conversation with the locals around here
29:45 <Magus> O.o
30:10 <Tashes> i'm in yokelville
30:14 <Tashes> bogantown
33:09 <Magus> Yea. I keep reading this posts
33:17 <Magus> and a huge percentage are all cancelled sessions
33:22 <Magus> Does any play really happen xD
33:58 <Tashes> hah yeah it does.. i think avatar suggests a lot of times and then goes with one or two. I've been around on and off for a while and there seems to be a core group of about 6 people in channel
34:14 <Tashes> but they're always willing
34:19 <Magus> How many are needed for the low tier stuff?
34:25 <Magus> Could 2 or 3 do it with a GM?
34:33 <Magus> I
34:42 <Tashes> yeah. they'll make it up with NPC's if they need to
34:43 <Magus> ve done play by post and stuff solo for normal DND
34:46 <Magus> I gotcha
35:09 <Magus> So I have 9 sessions(7 is they fix it) before I am useful in combat. Woo. :P
35:43 <Tashes> i dont even remember anything. It's been about 8 months since i had a computer and internet. I've had one or the other... or both and no house
36:34 <Steven> minimum table of 3 w/ 1 GM
37:03 <Steven> If i wasnt sick i'd GM something for ya.
37:11 <Tashes> GOTOBED
37:19 <Steven> ICANT!
37:19 <Magus> I'll hold you to that once you aren't.
37:27 <Magus> THEN HELP MAKE MY CHARACTER
37:27 <Magus> xD
37:44 <Magus> No really. So toughness still seems fair since I'm squishy, but I think spell focus should be dropped...
37:50 <Magus> \:P
37:58 <Steven> well you have your ability scores and bloodline.
38:06 <Magus> Yea, and skill points allocated
38:07 <Steven> everything else should be pretty much cake.
38:29 <Magus> Yea. All that is really left is the feat
38:37 <Steven> skill focus perception
39:13 <Magus> Perception is the aggregate skill right?
39:20 <Magus> Like listen/look all rolled together?
39:44 <Magus> Yes apparently
39:48 <Magus> I don't see the others on my sheet xD
40:50 <Magus> So Steven, what kind of characters do you generally enjoy?
41:11 <Steven> i've 26 characters just in pfs... they are all a bit different.
41:49 <Magus> Oh, a nd really, what is the best way to share our Character sheets with the DM? I don't see an easy pop in PFS sheet to modify digitally
43:12 <Steven> when i need to i share the link from my google drive file.
45:40 <Steven> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwFtjAun89SiekxHRTRmSHBNQ2c/view?usp=sharing
46:20 <Magus> That is spiffy
47:57 <Steven> yup roleplayed like a diva.
48:05 <Steven> she doesnt rage until someone hits her.
49:00 <Magus> lollol
49:05 <Mekkis> Avatar, what podcast?
49:21 <Steven> or at least tries to hit her.
50:15 <Steven> then i get to scream, "OH NO YOU DINNIT!"
50:46 <Steven> she is a 'Real Housewife of Taldor'
50:57 <Steven> so she is all drama all the time.
52:35 <Magus> That seems a pretty ridiculous and bizarre choice
52:42 <Magus> \And had to be funny to see
53:31 <Steven> she is exhausting to roleplay.
55:03 <Mekkis> Taldor's always been a bit of a mystery. The fact that Noone Cares About Factions anymore doesn't help
55:53 <Lintor> i am returned how is people
56:16 <Magus> New. Hi! I'm Magus. I talk entirely too much.
56:27 <Lintor> anyone have any good source material for a 80's surfer vally boy accent?
56:57 <Lintor> yeah i skimmed what  i had missed while out at dinner pleased to me a cheliax lover
57:47 <Steven> point break?
57:50 <Magus> Dealing with devil's is just preferable to dealing with normal people
57:56 <Magus> devils
57:57 <Magus> ugh
58:14 <Magus> Keanu seconded.
58:33 <Magus> Ah. I have to change my Cheliax trait.
58:34 <Lintor> if i was gonna Keanu i would prob bill and ted
58:36 <Magus> That is one thing I missed.
58:50 <Magus> Also fair, despite the lack of actual surfing
58:51 <Lintor> nah you can keep the trait under the grandfather rules
59:11 <Steven> no i meant for surfer boy accents
59:15 <Lintor> need to get the voice down for my war priest
59:36 <Lintor> yeah might give it another watch
59:38 <Steven> and then there is the movie Surfer Dude
59:46 <Magus> ... Is that really a movie?
59:57 <Steven> yeah
00:02 <Steven> Surfer, Dude
00:34 <Steven> w/ Mathew McConaughey
00:43 <Magus> Yea, never watching that.
01:38 <Magus> Ugh. I want to try playing on here so bad now. More people need to arrive
01:39 <Lintor> its from 2008 its not that over the top
01:57 <Steven> no but it does still have a very surfer culture.
03:49 <Lintor> yeah not some much after the culture as the tonality of the voice wanna give the accent and such to my calistrian war priest
04:23 <Magus> This is a discussion that needs to happen in front of more people, but with no context at all
06:51 <Lintor> think "chya" is gonna be like on of his most common sayings
07:10 <Magus> Like, "Chya, man"
07:21 <Magus> Essentially a pointless preceding yes?
07:31 <Lintor> yep
07:37 <Magus> Then agreed.
08:13 <Lintor> and "totally"
09:13 <Steven> should be fun.
09:26 <Magus> Gnarly, bodacious, radical
09:50 <Lintor> "Radiculus"
10:18 <Magus> That... Hurts me to read.
11:26 <Magus> But perfect for the character
13:09 <Lintor> now i just have to work out his faction and nationality 
19:48 <Steven> libertys edge? freedom to surf?
20:43 <Magus> lol
20:53 <Magus> Nationality is a thing?
21:36 <Steven> yeah, you can be an andoran that joins the Silver Crusade
21:55 <Magus> Do I have to pick a nationality?
23:20 <Avatar> ethnicity
23:22 <Avatar> and no you don't
23:32 <Avatar> you get a free language if you do though
25:37 <Magus> Noted. I'll look at it then
26:31 <Avatar> you do need to own the inner sea world guide to claim the language though
27:07 <Avatar> you can roleplay the ethnicity without it
27:34 <Avatar> like you want to play a kellid barbarian, you can say he's kellid and actually be kellid, and just not have the free language if you don't own the book
28:23 <Magus> I have the Inner Sea Primer
28:25 <Magus> is that it?
28:54 <Magus> Yes, it seems it is
29:05 <Avatar> inner sea world guide
29:15 <Avatar> maybe the primer has it as well, I can't remember
29:51 <Avatar> if you point me to a page, I'll double check for you
29:52 <Magus> Oh
30:07 <Magus> A campaign setting book
30:11 <Magus> I have that too
30:21 <Magus> I also have Inner Sea Magic
30:43 <Magus> Those are my 3 inner sea ones xD
31:34 <Magus> Anyway. So you said you run games whenever people are available and want to Avatar, but how often to sessions actually happen, roughly?
31:52 <Avatar> I told you what usually happens man
32:03 <Magus> *nods*
32:13 <Avatar> you sound like you want a different answer
32:36 <Magus> Yea. Just mildly demoralized looking at all of these cancelled sessions and things listed everywhere
33:02 <Magus> It's also 630 in the morning so I apologize for the repitition
33:18 <Avatar> mate don't apologise to me
33:27 <Avatar> I just don't want to see you make yourself a glutton for punishment
33:32 <Avatar> you seem like a nice guy
33:41 <Avatar> what cancelled sessions are you seeing
33:49 <steven2> yo
34:41 <Magus> Like, 2 of the first 3 most recent in the google group
34:48 <Magus> and a lot more as you scroll through
34:57 <Magus> and a *ton* more if you look at any groups Warhorn
35:00 <Avatar> did they say why they cancelled
35:50 <Magus> One due to sickness, the rest say RSVPs or something similar
35:59 <Magus> lack of signatures, lack of players
36:07 <Avatar> that seems strange
36:14 <Avatar> because games in your timezone usually overfill
36:18 <Avatar> they don't get a lack of players
36:38 <Magus> Oh? Maybe just the holiday yesterday messed with it
38:40 <Avatar> the few games that are cancelled I don't actually recognise
38:51 <Avatar> except we be goblins, which he tried to schedule less than a day in advance
39:58 <Avatar> and it doesn't help that most of those games like to put down their timezone as "EST" or "CST" without putting GMT or UTC
42:13 <Mekkis> EST is UTC+10, right?
42:15 <Mekkis> ?EST
42:19 <Mekkis> ?CST
42:31 <Mekkis> ?!define
42:32 <diebot> Mekkis, Syntax: !define [global] [add] <key>: <definition>. Eg. !define global diebot: A bot written by Mekkis.Using Add concatenates the arguments to the definition, otherwise it overwrites them.
43:12 <Magus> EST is UTC-5
44:13 <Mekkis> !define global EST: Either American Eastern Standard time (UTC-5), or Australian Eastern Standard time (UTC+10). Consider being clearer and using UTC offsets.
44:13 <diebot> Mekkis, Either American Eastern Standard time (UTC-5), or Australian Eastern Standard time (UTC+10). Consider being clearer and using UTC offsets. defined as ??EST
44:23 <Mekkis> :)
44:54 <Steven> back!
45:04 <Magus> Hey, you didn't die
45:05 <Steven> i ate some food
