02:14:15 <Steven1> nah, but you could disguise them as everyday objects.
02:21:26 <Steven1> yeah mekkis, the spell says anything you wish
02:25:00 <Steven1> i could see certain GMs making you a fly the size of a person.

04:05:51 <Mekkis> Alright, trying to decide on spells for my cleric

04:06:29 <Alynn> *nods* I am just sniffing about to see if I can find a gm for a 5th ed game for my group on discord lol
04:13:39 <Mekkis> tired of GMing?
04:14:05 <Alynn> nah we need a gm and I don't want to GM as I am a player lol
04:15:02 <Mekkis> What happened to the old GM?
04:16:08 <Alynn> we are just getting the group together so we don't have one yet lol
04:21:33 <Avatar> you run a 10-11 game for us
04:21:56 Werner has quit (Connection closed)
04:32:00 <Steven1> But i GM'd yesterday, and last saturday and sunday.
04:44:02 Tiefenthal ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
05:00:23 <Avatar> I didn't see that
05:00:29 <Avatar> did any of the rest of you
05:03:21 <Steven1> well, not my fault you werent in tricities washington, pullman washington, or moscow Idaho.
05:04:03 <Mekkis> Steven1, will you run a game for me if I'm in the area?
05:04:21 <Steven1> yup.
05:05:09 <Steven1> Special circumstance games happen all the time. Last year we ran a game for a guy who was biking from seattle to miami, then played with him at gencon.
05:05:13 <Steven1> was a blast
05:06:28 <Mekkis> cool
05:06:47 <Steven1> guy was pretty cool as well.
05:14:47 <Steven1> hmmmm.... so making a better pain taster
05:32:31 <Avatar> are you going to washington mekkis
05:32:40 <Avatar> I knew you were getting into politics but this is something else
05:33:09 <Avatar> president mekkis of the united states of america !
05:41:26 <Steven1> cannot happen. Mekkis is Foreign born.
05:47:30 <Mekkis> It can. We just need to invade you
05:55:04 <Avatar> mekkis knows how to twist the rules relaxer
05:56:49 <Mekkis> :)
05:56:59 <Mekkis> Steven1, I was born in Melbourne.
05:57:08 <Mekkis> You might know it as Melbourne, Florida
05:57:27 <Steven1> Sounds legit.
05:57:35 <Steven1> couldnt be any worse then Drumpf
06:11:43 <Mekkis> Hillary or Bernie?
06:14:55 <Steven1> the whole thing is a shit show
06:15:02 <Steven1> bernie wont get the nomination
06:15:12 <Steven1> and hillary is... fucking horrible.
06:18:34 <Steven1> ...
06:18:41 <Steven1> "A guy who has never played tabletop before will be playing with us tomorrow. He'll be playing a sorcerer 3/bloodrager 1 if thats alright. He chose draconic bloodline. Will the levels stack for his claws ability? Also will his bloodrager bloodline increase with dragon disciple? Thats what he wants to go into later."
06:18:48 <Steven1> i really hate american politics.
06:19:16 <Steven1> the only reason hillary looks like she has such a commanding lead is because of superdeligates.
06:19:22 <Steven1> http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/graphics/2016-delegate-tracker/
06:20:28 <Steven1> the group i'm running right now is currently on a pirate ship.
06:20:34 <Steven1> at sea
06:20:51 <Brunius> ol' mate is a adrift? a convert from a ship they plunder?
06:21:15 <Steven1> thats what its going to have to be
06:21:32 <Brunius> Would be nice if you got more than a day's notice eh
06:21:39 <Steven1> yup.
06:22:13 <Steven1> the other thing that annoys me, "A guy who has never played tabletops before..."
06:22:34 <Steven1> and "... Sorcerer 3/bloodrager1..."
06:22:46 <Brunius> Yeah, just shove this guy with no experience into a multiclass
06:22:49 <Brunius> that'll go well
06:23:06 <Steven1> yeah.
06:23:31 <Steven1> cause we couldnt make him a barbarian or a fighter.
06:23:56 <Brunius> My go to for new players is probably a fighter or cleric
06:24:18 <Steven1> I'm a big fan of first time players getting barbarians.
06:24:23 <Brunius> cleric because it's an easily understood archetype (though prep cards for spells would be nice) and fighter because bang bang hitty hitty is easy to understand
06:24:35 <Steven1> cause its real simple. pick up d20 add with this number
06:24:37 <Steven1> oh you hit.
06:24:46 <Steven1> roll this dice and add 14 damage.
06:24:57 <Steven1> yeah you obliterate this thing in one hit
06:25:24 <Steven1> makes new players feel great when they murder the fuck out of something.
06:25:27 <Steven1> "But Steve what is a superdeligate?" Well a superdeligate is a single person who gets to vote however the hell they want irregardless of the popular vote, except their 1 vote counts as like 1 million people.
06:26:10 <Mekkis> heh
06:26:37 <Steven1> but hey... now we get a sorcerer3/bloodrager1 going into dragon disciple
06:27:56 <Steven1> I honestly dont understand why a person would go sorc3/blood1 and not the other way around.
06:28:24 <Steven1> It is a lot of fun.
06:28:50 <Steven1> DD is not a great option for casting based class.
06:28:52 <Mekkis> why aren't people second amendmenting them?
06:29:41 <Steven1> and then you get like 1/3 the country who are republicans screaming "Its the liberals fault our country is ruined!"
06:30:04 <Mekkis> Compare and contrast: Trump vs Goldwater.
06:30:11 <Steven1> and then a 1/3 of the country who are liberals screaming "It's the Republicans fault!"
06:30:36 <Mekkis> and 1/3 of the country with their hands in their ears?
06:30:45 <Steven1> and then you've a middle third who basically sit around and go "Why are you guys yelling? We have real problems!" but nobody listens.
06:31:05 <Steven1> two party system baby!
06:31:54 <Steven1> Betcha cant guess which third i belong to.
06:32:15 <Mekkis> poin
06:32:16 <Mekkis> definitely the republican
06:32:25 <Steven1> totes
06:32:35 <Mekkis> Yeah, but flavour!
06:32:58 <Steven1> but seriously, I'm a moderate, and it infuriates me how things work.
06:34:16 <Steven1> ah yes... the flavor of an unknown traveler shipwrecked, stranded upon the high seas.
06:34:26 <Steven1> Like, Global Warming. It is a fact... except if you're a politician then its a platform to blame the opposing political system.
06:35:00 <Steven1> then rescued by a ship full of doe eyed morons who instead of depositing him at the nearest dockside whore house instantly makes him a part of their inner circle.
06:35:26 <Steven1> for just about anything... including womens rights.
06:35:27 <Mekkis> heh
06:35:45 <Mekkis> Should just ransom him
06:35:55 <Steven1> its what i would do.
06:36:20 <Steven1> and now that im super annoyed at politics...
06:36:21 <Steven1> either that or make him a swabby for at least 6 months in repayment for the recue
06:36:27 <Steven1> im going to go play a mind numbing game.
06:36:29 <Mekkis> heh
06:36:38 <Mekkis> Did you see my prepared spells?
06:36:41 <Mekkis> Any suggestions?
06:36:54 <Steven1> hmmmm.... maybe d3
06:37:12 <Mekkis> I recommend warframe
06:37:30 <Steven1> im dont play that game.
06:37:46 <Mekkis> give it a shot, it's suitably mindnumbing
06:37:59 <Steven1> FoM
06:38:20 <Mekkis> Seems reasonable
06:38:35 <Mekkis> What do I swap out?
06:39:31 <Steven1> divine power?
06:39:35 <Steven1> i've no interest in playing it though.
06:39:58 <Mekkis> hmmm...
06:40:18 <Mekkis> This is a cleric 5 / Dawnflower Dissident 5 at the moment
06:40:27 <Mekkis> so there's a fair amount of melee going on
06:40:32 <Steven1> hmmmm
06:41:24 <Steven1> i dont really like mmos.
06:41:40 <Mekkis> d3's practically an MMO
06:41:49 <Steven1> i think FoM will be more useful then divine favor in preventing you from getting fucked over by grapple
06:42:01 <Steven1> along with paralysis, stun, and what not.
06:42:11 <Steven1> it can be if you let people join your games.
06:42:23 <Steven1> I'd be more enthused about divine power if it was longer then rnds/level
06:43:05 <Steven1> but i was thinking of playing something else.
06:44:39 <Mekkis> Random drops, grinding, real-money trading...
06:45:01 <Mekkis> Sounds like an MMO
06:47:47 <Mekkis> Hmmm... You may have a point
06:49:38 <Steven1> im a big fan of wall of fire.
06:50:06 <Steven1> double damage vs undead.
06:51:12 <Mekkis> We're in Reign of Winter at the moment. I think the start of the fourth book. I'll prep Wall of Fire when it seems needed
06:51:18 <Mekkis> (Or Wall of Ice)
06:51:43 <Mekkis> Next level I get to have Fun With Fire Seeds
06:53:27 <Steven1> d3 got rid of real money trading.
06:54:03 <Steven1> i take it you have the fire domain?
06:54:08 <Mekkis> replaced it with 'unofficial' real money trading?
06:56:26 <Steven1> i'd take fire shield
06:56:50 <Steven1> half damage from cold attacks... pretty damn good.
06:59:58 <Steven1> nah, cant trade items.
07:04:19 <Mekkis> Have you drafted SOI?
07:12:40 <Steven1> no, i helped run the event.
07:12:55 <Steven1> 63 people
07:13:14 <Steven1> only 6 drops after first round.
07:17:16 <Steven1> Well... its 3am, I have to drive my dad to hip surgery in the morning. Have a good night guys.
07:19:24 <Proquar> evenin'
07:19:44 <Avatar> trust proquar
07:19:54 <Proquar> and to you, avatar
07:19:55 <Proquar> :)
07:19:59 <Proquar> when are we playing?
07:20:06 <Avatar> when are you GMing
07:20:24 <Proquar> ah shit
07:20:28 <Proquar> did you know,
07:20:34 <Proquar> i'm the worst GM eva!
07:20:45 <Proquar> even Mavvie has started GM'ing the littlies, and he's better 'an me
07:23:18 <Proquar> have you stopped GM'ing, avatar?
07:24:45 <Mekkis> pro
07:24:52 <Proquar> mekkis!
07:24:59 <Mekkis> you're playing again>
07:24:59 <Mekkis> ?
07:25:16 <Avatar> I'm on hiatus
07:25:25 <Avatar> basically someone just like you needs to step in
07:25:46 * Proquar hangs her head
07:25:59 * Proquar mutters something, you hear 'really, really bad'
07:26:15 <Proquar> i'd probably play at this stage :)
07:26:29 <Proquar> hey mekkis, if you do decide to run - let me know… i can help :)
07:26:40 * Proquar has great campaigning skills, just not GM skills
07:27:29 <Mekkis> you mean run for office?
07:28:42 <Proquar> yeah
07:29:49 <Mekkis> I've been campaigning to get people to vote against the enterprise agreement that they're shoving down our throats.
07:31:39 <Proquar> we don't get to choose that.. .wish people understood, we only get to choose who makes these decisions
07:32:00 <Proquar> interestingly, the ancient Greeks (who invented democracy), wouldn't recognize it as democracy
07:32:01 <Proquar> ;)
07:32:12 <Mekkis> I've probably convinced three or four people
07:32:38 <Proquar> fed MPs?
07:36:18 <Mekkis> nope. People who are voting on it
07:37:49 <Proquar> where do you work?
07:38:01 <Proquar> (sorry - misread what you are campaigning on :)
07:38:30 <Mekkis> Public service
07:40:13 <Proquar> (thought you were trying to save us from any of the Free Trade Agreements :p )
07:46:55 <Mekkis> Might end up being in Sydney in end of July
08:08:44 <Proquar> permanently?
08:08:52 <Mekkis> nah, just a few days
08:12:27 <Mekkis> You free any of Queens Birthday weekend?
08:12:42 <Proquar> should be
08:12:48 <Proquar> (just not Monday night)
08:13:10 <Mekkis> interested in doing some PFS?
08:13:22 <Mekkis> """Our next Con is going to be on the Queen's Birthday Long Weekend, 11-13 June, at Good Games Hurstville. This Con is being coordinated by Luke, ably assisted by the Sydney VAs (all cc'd)."""
08:38:39 <Proquar> could be good for the soul
09:19:04 <The_Great_Xandini> anyone here?
09:19:45 <Brunius> Yes.
09:20:11 <The_Great_Xandini> Was interested in finding a group to RP with for PFS and need some details
09:21:25 <The_Great_Xandini> My local PFS group has become very disheveled recently and I can't seem to find a group there anymore. Now I am looking online to see if I might find some luck here.
09:22:53 <The_Great_Xandini> Do you know if they allow import of PFS characters from table top games?
09:28:28 <Proquar> hey brunius!

22:02:28 <Mekkis> Wow
22:02:43 <Avatar> I mean it seems likely
22:02:45 <Mekkis> that's a worse answer than I was expecting!
22:02:53 <Avatar> why where was this going
22:03:03 <Avatar> that's about as good an answer as you can expect without any explanation
22:03:19 <Mekkis> I was expecting you to say "Attempt to get out with a CMB or escape artist check"
22:04:23 <Avatar> no that was a mistake
22:04:56 <Mekkis> so you'd just give up?
22:05:03 <Avatar> I have no idea
22:05:07 <Avatar> given no context, it's perfectly feasable
22:06:32 <Mekkis> no it isn't
23:27:59 <Steven1> I should be able to clean him up a lot.
23:28:24 <Steven1> probably take him to being a Skald/Pain Taster
23:41:34 <Mekkis> Hmm... is it worth heading to Atlanta for the GP?
23:46:47 <Brunius> I'm gonna go with No.
