00:02:24 <Goya> Nice!
00:02:38 <Goya> I didn't sign up for any of the core - though in hindsight I should have.. =/
00:02:58 <Steven> i dont know if i'll actually GM at all.
00:03:05 <Steven> i have a 5-9 and a 7-11 core.
00:03:06 <Goya> Aww.
00:03:35 <Goya> Well - aww for us. It's about time you got to play. ;)
00:04:09 <Steven> i dont know how many players actually have a 5+ character
00:04:13 <Steven> in core
00:04:19 <Steven> let alone a 7+ character
00:04:29 <Steven> unless they play more then i do... which would be impressive.
00:04:29 <Goya> I read a poll in the forums and it was very low percentage
00:04:40 <Goya> Or rather I read someone talking about a poll...
00:11:08 <Steven> I have a level 7, two level 3s and a level 2
00:11:20 <Steven> and i organize a game day twice a week.
00:11:43 <Goya> holy cow!
00:13:54 <Goya> Save me 2 seats on Sunday Steven!
00:18:41 <Brunius|M> Is unicon happening this year?
00:20:19 <Steven> i think our group of pathfinders plays more core then most other people.

00:22:46 <Steven> and one of them you play pregens, so you can totally come play at my table then.

02:26:06 <Avatar> part 3 finished, btw
02:26:12 <Avatar> hell of a cliffhanger
02:37:09 <Steven1> i might have been inclined to agree with exo but he used the word 'loosers' and capatalized the first letter in every word... which I find annoying.
02:53:11 <Steven1> so why dont you wanna run an AP for us avatar... really... tells me
03:24:12 <Avatar> should be

03:41:47 <Avatar> are you there
04:03:33 <Avatar> mate you haven't even GM'd a scenario for us in I don't remember how long
04:09:55 <Steven> i've been bus
04:09:56 <Steven> busy
04:10:14 <Steven> if i could i'd run this new scenario as a slot 0
04:10:21 <Steven> and watch your brains expload.
04:10:34 <Steven> right now.
04:10:36 <Steven> but i cant.
04:12:44 <Mekkis> hehe Avatar
04:13:01 <Mekkis> To be fair, the slaying of the dragon was a high point in the campaign
04:18:32 <ulzef> hmmm i might come mek
04:18:42 <Avatar> yeah it was pretty sweet
04:22:16 <Mekkis> especially as Mrivan was trying to play a pacifist the whole time
04:23:37 <Steven> i havent really been excited in anything they've put out up until today.
04:23:58 <Steven> because i'd rather be playing in an AP.
04:23:59 <Mekkis> He did only kill one creature that entire campaign
04:24:44 <ulzef> will talk to some of the guys and see what they think
04:31:18 <Avatar> I think I fleshed out the townspeople a bit too much
04:35:27 <Avatar> question time
04:35:40 <Avatar> One of my other players in our group has managed to get himself a Wish, or at least he's owed one. Long story. The point is that, for his own reasons he wants to use the Wish to make all magical weapons on our continent non-magical.
04:35:40 <Avatar> The DM knows he's going to make this wish, and is keeping silent about whether/how it would work. But it got me thinking, how would I handle that Wish?
04:36:04 <Avatar> what would you do
04:37:12 <Mekkis> Depends. Either you did, or you didn't flesh them out enough
04:39:28 <Steven1> yup
04:39:28 <Steven1> avatar... did you suggest i cut my beard? have you been drinking?
04:39:30 <Steven1> i am now
04:42:07 <Mekkis> ulzef, you sure
04:42:10 <Mekkis> Ben will be here.
04:42:47 <Mekkis> he doesn't
04:43:07 <Mekkis> Paid my deposit today!
04:45:04 <Steven1> avatar
04:45:13 <Steven1> think it may be time to sleep.
04:46:21 <Avatar> tough crowd
04:52:56 <ulzef> so mekkis how many crash spaces you have for Paizocon aus
04:59:37 <Mekkis> https://www.govt.nz/browse/engaging-with-government/the-nz-flag-your-chance-to-decide/gallery/design/4090
05:03:59 <Mekkis> ulzef, is there any 'vl for Geelong'?
05:06:45 <Steven1> 32hrs till i leave for paizocon... time to sleep now, see ya guys later
05:20:07 <Mekkis> not yet
05:20:14 <Mekkis> they've got a bunch in the pipeline
05:20:43 <Avatar> mate
05:20:45 <Avatar> talk to me when it's out
05:21:27 <Mekkis> then it will Be Too Later
05:21:29 <Mekkis> Late*
05:22:50 <Avatar> is it not too late now?
05:27:05 <Mekkis> no. But I'll bet that it'll be the standard "You're playing an X. X got errataed. You're screwed" attitude
05:28:25 <Steven1> avatar... im bout to go to sleep. If you got something you need it would probably be better to ask me now.
05:34:02 <Steven1> preppin me some 6-07...
05:36:20 <Avatar> that sounds like it's too late now
05:36:32 <Mekkis> depends what you mean
05:36:46 <Mekkis> if you've started playing an ACG class,it probably is
05:37:03 <Avatar> what do you mean
05:37:15 <Avatar> if it's not too late now, what are you going to do
05:37:25 <Avatar> here you are talking to me like it's inevitable
05:37:41 <Avatar> is it too late or isn't it
05:38:02 <Mekkis> have you got any ACG characters?
05:42:59 <Avatar> yeah
05:43:01 <Avatar> !findchar Pedro
05:43:13 <diebot> Avatar, Character: Pedro. number: 1055( http://www.pfrpg.com.au/viewchar.php5?char=1055 )
05:43:51 <Mekkis> played him at level 2 yet?
05:47:53 <Avatar> na
05:48:19 <Mekkis> planning on playing him at level 2 before GenCon?
05:49:59 <Avatar> maybe
05:50:02 <Avatar> not making plans
05:50:29 <Steven1> nevermind... looks like im going to go over to my dads house and start a fire.
05:51:36 <Avatar> oh uh
05:51:44 <Avatar> how long does harrowing go for
05:51:45 <Avatar> when you play it
05:54:40 <Avatar> yay! steven's running a game online for us
05:56:02 <Mekkis> I'd allow it.
05:56:04 <Steven1> lol you so cray cray
05:56:28 <Mekkis> And then show how outsiders and dragons are taking over the continent
05:56:48 <Mekkis> over the course of the next few months
05:57:40 <Mekkis> heh
05:58:17 <Avatar> ya I was just joshin
06:04:46 <Mekkis> ulzef, you around. I got some info out of the Brune!
06:05:12 <Avatar> that's pretty similar to what I said
06:05:42 <Avatar> such a stupid wish
06:06:06 <Mekkis> if Buck had a wish, what would it be?
06:07:19 <Avatar> guns
06:07:21 <Avatar> lots of guns
06:07:42 <Mekkis> really? Not a Better Gun?
06:08:18 <Avatar> I dunno man
06:08:24 <Avatar> don't ask me for a wish until I have a wish and need to use it
06:18:09 <Mekkis> So none of your characters have an idea of what to do with a wish?!
06:18:51 <Avatar> it depends on everything
06:19:00 <Avatar> not just "this is my character I KNOW WHAT I'LL WISH FOR !"
06:23:44 <Steven1> we played for about 5-6 hours.
06:23:50 <Steven1> ill gm something after paizocon
06:24:01 <Steven1> then ran into some bullshit and we didnt finish
06:25:58 <Mekkis> sure. But it's good to have an idea
06:34:40 <Mekkis> be careful
06:38:38 <Avatar> I am sure it'll be a great wish
06:38:41 <Avatar> that's my idea
06:40:57 <Steven1> hey
06:50:09 <ulzef> oh so way point is canberra really?
06:56:37 <Steven> pie!
07:09:09 <Steven1> we were on the home stretch though
07:10:12 <Mekkis> I wish for the best wish
07:20:25 <ulzef> nah
07:24:00 <ulzef> stephen does not love us enough to make one of us VL
07:24:37 <Avatar> the best wish is none at all. granted!
07:47:37 <ulzef> hey Steven1 do you know if they have a list of games to play for the scions part 2 boon to be useful?
07:47:58 <Steven1> i dunno
07:48:39 <ulzef> i figured with the fact you have played like every game you would know
07:49:45 <Steven> bored.
07:53:14 <Avatar> I think I'm safe
07:53:31 <Steven1> damn... not even 3 hour
07:53:34 <Steven1> hours
08:01:50 <Avatar> I haven't heard from jena in months

08:21:44 <Avatar> scratch that
08:21:50 <Mekkis> Hey Avatar, ulzef: I'm considering a trip to Melbourne (or Sydney) around mid-late July.
08:22:07 <Mekkis> Any dates particularly good/bad for you?
08:46:52 <Avatar> don't think so

09:26:47 <Mekkis> This is I think the first new laptop I've had since 2005.
09:28:13 <Mekkis> yeah
09:28:18 <Mekkis> might possibly be floorspace for two, but I don't really think so
09:29:06 <ulzef> you had news from brun

10:31:18 <Mekkis> Avatar, background on paper cartridges:
10:31:21 <Mekkis> Since the standard procedure for loading a musket or rifled musket involved biting open the cartridge, this can cause problems for those with strict dietary restrictions. The Sepoy soldiers in the employ of the British in India, for example, were largely Hindu, who were forbidden to eat beef, or Muslim, who were forbidden to eat pork. Rumors of the use of lard and tallow in the lubrication of the cartridges they were using were part of the cause of the
10:31:21 <Mekkis> Indian Rebellion of 1857.
10:32:58 <Avatar> how does that relate
10:33:27 <Mekkis> Paper cartridges were often coated in beeswax, lard, or tallow, which served a number of purposes. It provided some degree of water resistance, it lubricated the paper-wrapped bullet as it was pushed down the bore, and it melted upon firing to mix with the powder residue and make the resulting fouling easier to remove.
10:33:46 <Mekkis> I'm trying to imagine Buck biting open his cartridges
11:04:09 <Mekkis> http://www.magiclampoon.com/news/archive20060209.html

17:36:46 <Mekkis> ACG errata sounds like it could be a PFS trainwreck
17:46:14 <Avatar> they released errata for the ACG?
17:48:26 <Avatar> no
18:43:15 <Avatar> just read the first DM feature on LSK, it's quite telling of what's to come
18:43:22 <Avatar> something I didn't intend while writing it
18:59:02 <ulzef> around now
18:59:11 <ulzef> at home sick
19:33:55 <Mekkis> So I assume that you won't be making Paizoconoz this year?
