01:12:17 <MetalMaster> Just got off work eatin taco bell. I found out about this channel on the forum on paizos website.

01:12:33 <MetalMaster> thanks

01:18:00 <MetalMaster> my only experience so far is playing pathfinder games at my buddies house a few times
01:18:25 <Steven1> thats the way it starts
01:18:32 <MetalMaster> I have been looking into running a campagin myself which led me here
01:21:43 <MetalMaster> Got the pathfinder beginner box
01:21:46 <MetalMaster> and a core rule book.
01:26:44 <Steven1> well if you got any questions
01:27:22 <MetalMaster> mmmmmmm
01:28:12 <MetalMaster> I know I had some but I'm drawing a blank now. Though if I can think of any I'll try and bounce them off of oyu
01:29:17 <MetalMaster> I am planning on reading through what came in the beginner box and seeing if I want to try and run that with some of my friends or make my own first.
01:33:52 <MetalMaster> Oh do you think its harder to play pf through IRC/
01:41:37 <Steven1> its got a different set of challenges
01:46:07 <MetalMaster> oh

05:50:24 <Alynn> yeah I know, I will be doing that once I get a banner dne
05:50:27 <Alynn> done*
05:58:51 <aidrocsid> I'm going to be running Iron Gods and I want a quick way to calculate gambling over time, any suggestions?
05:59:08 <aidrocsid> instead of turning an entire session into several games of poker or whatever
06:05:22 <Avatar> you can use a sheet on pfrpg or get one from somewhere like myth-weavers
06:05:28 <Steven> i thought you went to pax prime this year and just were trying to get into it.
06:05:38 <Andrewki> lol, nah. I wish!
06:05:49 <Andrewki> Nah, Pax aus was just this weekend past
06:06:00 <Steven> well hey if you make it out to pax prime ever, i run the prize booth.
06:06:10 <Avatar> 5 quests is still really good, basically the equivalent of playing a full scenario
06:06:19 <Steven> and i basically throw rewards/extra rolls at people.
06:06:29 <Andrewki> Haha, that's great! :P
06:06:32 <Avatar> you have to fill the rest of that in yourself
06:06:37 <Andrewki> Gotta love throwing goodies at people!
06:06:48 <Avatar> starting XP 0
06:07:02 <Andrewki> not 1 cause of the sheet I have?
06:07:11 <Avatar> see the boxes on the right
06:07:20 <Avatar> starting XP 0, XP gained 1, final XP 1
06:07:37 <Avatar> that's how you fill in those first three boxes
06:07:55 <Steven> This last year i gave away a full box of Goblin Plushies to children.
06:08:02 <Avatar> GP gained 500
06:08:32 <Steven1> its not done yet?
06:08:33 <Avatar> initial prestige/fame 0, prestige gained 2
06:08:48 <Alynn> nope a friend is tinkering with it lol
06:09:07 <Avatar> the unspoken rule of PFS is to buy a wand of cure light wounds with 50 charges on it, and every game, give that to someone in your team who can cast it
06:09:13 <Avatar> that'll cost you 2 prestige
06:09:36 <Avatar> you don't have to, but you'll do it if you know what's good fer ya
06:09:45 <Andrewki> Haha, fair enough!
06:09:51 <Andrewki> This is a lot of stuff to take in tho!
06:10:05 <Avatar> have you got the PFS guide
06:10:16 <Avatar> roleplaying guild guide to organised play or whatever it's called these days
06:10:41 <Avatar> www.pathfindersocietyonline.com mentions that you need it
06:11:24 <Avatar> that'll tell you how to create your character and what you can buy with prestige and how your XP works and whatnot
06:11:45 <Andrewki> I do now! :P
06:12:06 <Avatar> your buddies will need it too
06:12:16 <Avatar> make sure they read it like their life depends on it
06:14:01 <Steven> okay, so Adeptus Administratum, Adeptus Arbites, Adeptus Astra Telepathica, Adeptu Mechanicus, Adeptus Ministorum, Imperial Guard, Outcast, Adepta Sororitas, Mutant, Fanatic, Penitent,
06:14:20 <Avatar> mutant
06:14:24 <Steven> DAMN RIGHT MUTANT!
06:14:54 <Steven> i better check to see if i can pick mutant... brb
06:14:55 <Avatar> I don't know what any of those mean but that is the right answer out of that list
06:15:38 <Andrewki> That sounds like WH40K?
06:15:46 <Steven> yup
06:15:53 <Steven> its Dark Heresy 2nd Edition.
06:15:57 <Andrewki> sweet, bit of a 40K fan myself
06:16:04 <Andrewki> never looked into Dark Heresy tho
06:16:49 <Steven> Hatred, violence, and pain-these are the daily bread for those
06:16:50 <Steven> cursed with the vile taint of mutation. Devotion, strength, and
06:16:50 <Steven> subservience-these are their means for survival.
06:16:50 <Steven> "From this moment on, you are under my protection, but also my watchful
06:16:50 <Steven> eye. Serve me unfailingly and live. Hesitate to act when commanded and
06:16:50 <Steven> suffer boundless, painful wrath."
06:16:50 <Steven> -Inquisitor Aubschmidt, binding a mutant Acolyte into service
06:17:13 <Andrewki> :O
06:17:28 <Steven> balls... cant be mutant.
06:18:49 <Avatar> andrew let me know as soon as you can which saturday you prefer to play over the next few weeks
06:19:18 <Avatar> check in with your crew to make sure they're sorted out and okay to play that day as well
06:19:30 <Avatar> games last about 5 hours
06:19:48 <Avatar> quests take 1 hour don't they?
06:19:58 <Andrewki> Yeah, each quest was about an hour
06:20:10 <Andrewki> some went short, some took too damn long cause of silly party! :D
06:20:18 <Andrewki> but yeah, I'll speak to them when they come online, and let you know.
06:20:20 <Avatar> so each game you normally play is called a 'scenario', and lasts 5-6 hours
06:20:30 <Avatar> a short game will last about 4, a long game can go up to around 8 hours
06:20:51 <Avatar> games at early levels are likely to be shorter than longer though, unless you're all on the cusp of death
06:21:11 <Avatar> allow about 5.5-6 hours and expect it to be around 5-5.5
06:21:41 <Steven> so administratum is the bureaucracy, Arbites is the police, Astra Telepathica is telepaths and psychically active people, mechanicus are engineers, ministorum are the priest-teachers of the god emperor, Imperial guard are basically the cannon fodder for the army.
06:21:48 <Andrewki> On the Colony quest, we had a priest and his two henchmen basically bring the entire party to our knees. Charmed out fighter, who kept getting in the way. Sent the paladin to sleep etc.
06:22:15 <Andrewki> Imperial guard ARE the army
06:22:24 <Steven> meh...
06:22:25 <Andrewki> there's just lots of them and individually they are extremely weak
06:22:31 <Steven> Space marines are the real army.
06:22:33 <Andrewki> <------ 40K nerd
06:23:11 <Andrewki> Space marines are individual pods of themselves. They can make the 'speartip' of an assault, but any major campaign will never just be marines.
06:23:20 <Andrewki> Imperial guard platoons are oP
06:23:22 <Andrewki> OP*
06:23:32 <Steven> yeah, they can rake out a lot of damage.
06:23:37 <Andrewki> ooooh yes
06:23:39 <Steven> but in dark heresy
06:23:59 <Steven> basically the imperial guard are the mop up crews for the space marines.
06:24:09 <Andrewki> They fight there way into the middle of the enemy and decimate on the ground, while the guardsmen mop up the rest with lasfire and heavy ordanance
06:24:46 <Steven> tonight there was a warp convergance in the middle of a hive world after a cult successfully completed a demonic summoning ritual.
06:25:17 <Andrewki> ah... That could be.... problematic to say the least
06:25:36 <Steven> an avatar of slaanesh showed up.
06:26:29 <Andrewki> aaaaah, slaanesh is awesome
06:26:38 <Andrewki> I always thought Korne was just too overdone
06:26:44 <Andrewki> I like to see the other gods get some love
06:26:55 <Steven> the only reason we beat it was because we had a Null Sister of Battle in the group and after having ALL of my attack miss due to reacts and almost killing myself she managed to critical hit with her force spike thing that does 1d10/psi rating of the creature being hit.
06:27:28 <Andrewki> Haha, so lucky dice bullshit then? :P
06:28:07 <Steven> this was AFTER it rampaged through a batallion of space marines and a batallion of sisters of battle.
06:28:46 <Steven> the null sister of battle is specifically designed to kill deamons.
06:29:47 <Steven> but yeah... crits happen.
06:31:01 <Steven> It was fantastic.
06:31:54 <Andrewki> That sounds great
06:32:21 <Andrewki> Always loved 40K, I play Tau, and dabble a little with Grey Knights (although they aren't as good as they used to be)
06:34:19 <Steven> in dark heresy, you play as part of the Inquisition and you go around the system investigating problems that planets have.
06:36:06 <Steven> as you can probably tell... things rarely go well.
06:36:30 <Andrewki> Haha, nothing ever goes well for the Inquisition
06:36:38 <Andrewki> That's kinda their job
06:36:49 <Andrewki> to deal with the bad stuff that doesn't quite need the marines
06:36:58 <Andrewki> or to help the marines with the chaos stuff
06:37:41 <Alynn> and banner done X3
06:39:41 <Steven> the groups success rate is about 66%
06:39:52 <Steven> and the inquisition is pretty happy with the group.
06:41:06 <Steven> I think my backup character will be an Adeptus Astra Telepathica from a forge world.
06:57:35 <Avatar> roll 1d20. if they get a high number, hooray! they win
06:57:58 <Avatar> if they roll a 20, they win big!
06:58:04 <Steven1> cool
07:09:50 <Steven> !throw 1d10
07:09:51 <diebot> Steven, 1d10: [1d10=6] 6
07:24:38 <Steven1> Profession Gambler check?
07:25:13 <Steven1> you can earn 1/2 profession check per week of dedicated work.
07:35:12 <Avatar> star wars had a gambling skill and apparently it broke the game
08:24:44 <Steven> !throw 1d100
08:24:44 <diebot> Steven, 1d100: [1d100=74] 74
09:12:11 <Alynn> hello all
09:44:44 <Steven> yo
09:44:59 <Alynn> how are you?
09:45:30 <Steven> good
09:45:34 <Steven> just watchin tv shows
09:47:41 <Alynn> I am well, just working on an rp forum of mine that is based off my favorite tv show XD
09:52:10 <Alynn> so fun and what shows are you watching Steven?
09:52:23 <Steven> izombie
09:52:31 <Alynn> never heard of it
09:54:54 <Alynn> I am a fan of Teen Wolf here though
10:04:15 <Alynn> which is the show my rp is set in X3
10:13:08 <Steven> thats a good show.
10:13:15 <Steven> sorry i dozed off there for a bit
10:13:24 <Steven> I think im going to go lay down, you have a great day!
10:13:41 <Alynn> nn
10:22:10 <aidrocsid> there's gambling built into the iron gods campaign but it doesn't really do much in the way of telling you how to do it
10:22:17 <aidrocsid> even the gm's guide is kinda lacking in that department
10:23:11 <aidrocsid> i doubt any of my players will take the profession there's just a part where they get certificates to the casino thing
11:52:35 <Lintor> having played book 1 of iron gods it wasnt a huge part anyway
15:20:37 <aidrocsid> I'm going to be running Iron Gods and I want a quick way to calculate gambling over time, any suggestions?
15:20:54 <aidrocsid> instead of turning an entire session into several games of poker or whatever
16:19:21 <Avatar> roll 1d20. if they get a high number, hooray! they win
16:19:44 <Avatar> if they roll a 20, they win big!
16:46:24 <Steven1> Profession Gambler check?
16:46:59 <Steven1> you can earn 1/2 profession check per week of dedicated work.
16:56:58 <Avatar> star wars had a gambling skill and apparently it broke the game
17:36:55 <Mekkis> Is there any way I can give my familiar Quick Draw?
17:56:33 <Avatar> say alakazam! I give you quick draw!
19:43:56 <aidrocsid> there's gambling built into the iron gods campaign but it doesn't really do much in the way of telling you how to do it
