Fuck whatever we were playing, let's get ready for some goddamn DARK SUN

Fishman

Meh, it could be worse.

Dubh

Fishman has tapped most of those reserves, it appears.

Horseshoe

by hobbits you meant sheep, right?

Dubh

Okay, officially switching to a Persona-themed campaign.

Gonna force everyone to bring the RP. 70% RPG, 30% Combat.

This is going to turn out great.

you know, this kind of thing is cool and all, but I have a lot more fun role-playing as a character who is cutting dudes in half than I do role-playing a dude who is following clues or whatever. Maybe this makes me a moron, I don't know.

Thing is, if combat gets to heavy, you run the risk of character vanishing nearly entirely.

Don't get me wrong - I love me some combat, but it needs to be grounded by plot and characterization, or it becomes somewhat meaningless.

Also, good news: My friend agreed to let me borrow his PS2 if I let him borrow my Wii! Yay!

DE?AD

Awesome.

yeah, that makes sense.

DE?AD, I hope you will give us opportunities to eat random things we find in our fridges

DE?AD

I plan to incorporate as many strange things as possible.

It will feature a normal world, and a secondary twisted version of the normal world in which the monsters dwell. It will feature finding new facades, and improving those you already have. It will feature many things.

I am making a Fighter/Bard hybrid but it is difficult for me to know if I am selecting the best powers and feats for him because I don't have Martial Power on hand to reference.

If anyone has it on hand, please tell me about Level 5 Daily and Level 10 Utility Fighter powers in the book, as well as any cool Feats for Fighter or Warlord (I took the Multiclass Warlord from PHB1 as one of my feats).

Stats so you know if I'm qualified for particular feats:

Fighter/Bard
Elf
STR 18
CON 13
DEX 12
INT 10
WIS 10
CHA 18


EDIT: Oh, and I'm arming him with a glaive. Why? Well, several reasons. One: It has reach. Two: It counts as a heavy blade, so I can get a songblade version of it to use my Bard powers. Three: No one ever uses glaives, so it will make my character a unique snowflake.

The Hobbits or the sheep?

Dubh

Both

I haven't played D&D for many moons. In my circle, it was never discussed. Only until college was I finally able to experience the true darkness that is dungeons and dragons. And then one of my roommates killed my character after I poisoned his dog. Good times.

As I was re-familiarizing myself with 4e (haven't played nearly since release), I noticed a rule that hadn't caught my eye before. the one about players not being able to use more than one magic item daily power per day (at heroic, 2 and 3 at paragon and epic, respectively). Personally, though without experience on the matter, I think that's dumb. After thinking on it, I realised I shouldn't do away with it altogether.

So I thought for my game maybe make it 1/2/3 magic item daily powers per encounter. They are still dailies, but players have a bit more flixibility in their use.

Good idea or bad idea?

Kazhiim

y'all a bunch of nerds

does de?ad live in san san jose or something?

Der Waffle Mous

I do believe that you get another magic item use after a milestone.

Yeah, every 2 encounters or so you usually get a milestone and can use another magic item daily power you haven't used yet.

Artificers have an ability that recharges used magic items too I think. If you wanted to make magic items usable more than once per day that might be something to work off of.

Near San Jose. Along with Mori, Janson, and meself.

Melding

two encounters with out an extended rest IS a milestone.

ah, okay. must have missed that

thanks

Dubh

Any of you assholes live near San Jose? We're lookin' for another group member.

Kazhiim

I lived an hour out of san jose until monday

I now live two and a half hours out of san jose

Dubh

Well, shit. Wish I knew that before hand.


...how's the new place?

Kazhiim

I am drowning in a sea of drunken frat boys from 9 PM to 2 AM

Moriveth

Also, Dubh, we're not gonna be able to make a weekend out of D&D this weekend

for one thing I am really exhausted from all the shit we've been doing from the past few weeks (though I still want to play Saturday, of course)

and for another, apparently we are going to a baby shower or something on Sunday

second question: have you scouted a decent place to hide bodies, yet?

Dubh

oooooooooooh nooooooooooooooo


I'll make my campaign extra awesome, then

Kazhiim

you kidding? People watching is like, my favorite sport

Moriveth

Also Rachel's friend would probably be willing to play some SWRPG with us when she visits

We'll have to make sure of that, of course

Dubh

of course


I have meats for cooking, this weekend

what time were you guys gonna show up?

Moriveth

I was thinking around 1? Possibly a bit later. I'd like to get as much gaming in as possible.

Also, what kind of car did you get? We fixed the turn signal on my car (although I still need something to hold it in completely - otherwise it's still a bit loose)

Dubh

Toyota Corolla! '97, with 85.5k miles on it.

So good.

Kazhiim

That's a lot of miles

also don't do roleplaying or combat. Do... make it a tactical turn-based strategy game. With dystopian film noir elements. And flashbacks. Time-traveling flash backs that change your present character.

Janson

Awesome!

Aw man don't say that

Our car is '01 and has 106,000 miles

We've put like 20,000 on it in 10 months!

You kidding? I can probably take this thing to 250k miles just fine. My '95 Saturn had about 200k before I crashed it, and it was doing quite well.

Kazhiim

I hit a hundred thousand on the drive back from PAX, but my car is twenty years old so I don't know

Dubh

100k on twenty year old car? Damn, did you buy it from some Sunday-driving old lady?
