DisposableDM (enter): 17:45
Tempest: Hoyhoyhoy! Here to help if I can.
Krom Blackscar: howdy
DisposableDM: I should be all good
DisposableDM: not sure about turn out tonight, don mentioned he was going to be late, and paul has become entangled in some work function and I don't know if he'll be able to extract himself from it in time
Tempest: Mich was saying something to the effect of being uncertain as well, although I nudged him earlier.
DisposableDM: no biggie for me if we're in no show land, I'll take the extra week to prepare and we'll see what next weekend holds
DisposableDM: my schedule is about to get super budy though
DisposableDM: and by budy I mean busy
Tempest: Likewise. Research is gearing up here. Need to get a thesis started.
DisposableDM: Carla and I got engaged
Tempest: !
Tempest: Congratulations!
DisposableDM: thanks
Tempest: Someone's got a story to tell.
DisposableDM: yup, but thats probably for another night since its a long one and I'll end up telling it two or three times if I don't wait for the right moment
DisposableDM: but thanks the wonders of canada immigrations and customs we're having a short notice small wedding before christmas so I can apply to sponsor her for citizenship before her visa runs out
The Radical Taoist (enter): 17:53
The Radical Taoist: Sorry to keep y'all waiting
DisposableDM: well we may not be running
The Radical Taoist: uh oh
DisposableDM: paul has become embroiled in something work related at the last minute and appears poised to be a no show, and don is already working and going to be late
Tempest: Don and Paul may be late, but there's a lot to do and a lot to hear. :p
** The Radical Taoist crosses his fingers **
DisposableDM: the other news is that Carla and I are engaged so things are going to get very busy on my end in the very near future
The Radical Taoist: Omedetou gozaimasu!
The Radical Taoist: ¡Congratulaciones!
The Radical Taoist: Help me out Brian, what is it in French again?
The Radical Taoist: (Hmm. In Spanish, Felicidades would also work.)
DisposableDM: to complicate matters, her visa expires in january so we have to get married quickly before then so I can apply to sponsor her for citizenship so she can stay in the country
The Radical Taoist: Oh?
The Radical Taoist: Where' your lady?
The Radical Taoist: I mean, "Where's your lady from?"
DisposableDM: Minden Louisiana
The Radical Taoist: Gah, think THEN type, Mich.
Tempest: "Felicitations", but I'll be damned if I can get the accent-aigu on the first E to type on this computer.
The Radical Taoist: Well, all the best to you and yours, Greg.
Tempest: Ya said the story was rather long, so I think we'll hold off on details until you've had time to structure the telling. (I know I've got questions; I only knew /about/ Carla, but details were sparse.)
DisposableDM: so with respect to planning and preping a D&D game I may not have the time, so what I'm thinking is that I'll finish up this story arc with my last surprise (i.e. who is krom blackscar really) and will then probably go on hiatus until the new year when things have had time to calm down
The Radical Taoist: I'll be direct. You say you may not have time to GM, but could you find time to play?
DisposableDM: this arc is probably another 2-3 sessions including this one
DisposableDM: I could probably do that
DisposableDM: I have the slot free on my friday nights, but its finding the time in the week to put maps together and stat up NPCs that I've been having trouble with
The Radical Taoist: Paul and Don have late work, Zarcon's hours are odd, and Brian has a thesis to finish.
The Radical Taoist: Dang. It's gonna have to be me running a game if we're to keep playing.
The Radical Taoist: Screw it. It's my turn to run a game. Lemme see if I can't make something come together in a few months.
Tempest: I really wish I had the time myself - I quite like running games and I said I would, but only after that aforementioned thesis is shot down.
Seishi (enter): 18:01
Tempest: You have my spear. I'll help.
The Radical Taoist: Sup Seishi!
Seishi: Hiya~
The Radical Taoist: Paul and Don are going to be late, possibly cancelled game late.
The Radical Taoist: I'm willing to stay up and wait for them though.
Seishi: Ah, that's fine.
Seishi: I'll re-read the end of last session.
The Radical Taoist: Anyways.
Seishi: Between passing out during it, my general terrible memory, and the super long time between sessions, I need the refresher anyway.
The Radical Taoist: I have a confession to make to Seishi and Greg; I have not been idle with 3.5 dev in the last few months
Tempest: I'm presuming that passing out was just exhaustion and that you're not hiding a dire illness.
DisposableDM: kill sleep apnea sucks btw
DisposableDM: killer^
The Radical Taoist: Not that I can take full credit for what I've been working on; Brian and I have been productive.
DisposableDM: paul texted me that he will be back in under an hour so we should be good for a late start
The Radical Taoist: Which is why you guys are going to get invited to some Google Documents in short order.
DisposableDM: sounds cool
Tempest: Why bother with an invitation?
The Radical Taoist: And it will be Brian's pleasure and mine to introduce you to the Expanded Tome of Battle.
The Radical Taoist: Aren't the docs still private?
Tempest: (Subtitle pending.)
Tempest: Nah, they were in a shared directory.
Tempest: It's not QUITE finished, but it's nearing that point.
Seishi: Expanded ways of slice n' dice?
The Radical Taoist: and punch and throw and stab and whack
The Radical Taoist: and maybe even some smash
Tempest: Take a peek and see if there's anything you like. :)
Seishi: Sounds great.
Seishi: After I catch up on last session's log again.
Tempest: (The ranger there is slightly different from the one you're using.)
Tempest: Quick overview: Three base classes (Marshal, Ranger, Shinobi), two new prestige classes (Strike leader, Walker in Harmony), two updated remixes of DMG PrCs in the ToB tradition (Arcane Archer and Dwarven Defender), and two new martial disciplines (the shinobi's Hidden Door and the ranger's Falling Star). There's still a bit of a mess about the place since it's not QUITE finished, but take it as a gift nonetheless.
The Radical Taoist: The Fallen Star discipline needs a lot of reworking and the Walker in Harmony needs a lot of flavour text, otherwise it's just about good to go.
Tempest: Arcane Archer needs a bit of polish too, but I consider that part of Falling Star.
DisposableDM: pretty cool stuff
DisposableDM: tempts me to write the diamond swordmaster prc that got left out of ToB
Tempest: I can set it up so if you want to, it's there.
DisposableDM: that would be cool
DisposableDM: again, not sure when I'm going to find the time, but interesting the think about anyway
Tempest: Which address do you use for gdocs? Sympatico, or gmail?
DisposableDM: sympatico
Tempest: (Hey, I did most of this while I was running neural networks in the background.)
Tempest: Done.
Tempest: (Speaking of Diamond Mind, the Arcane Archer gets it now. Quick summary: 5/10 casting (but 10/10 CL progression), access to diamond mind and falling star, enhance arrow now works on any thrown or projectile weapon and operates like the soulbow, and a couple of the class features were rejiggered and assimilated into Falling Star. There's also a feat that lets it work with warlocks.)
Tempest: (As in, initiate maneuvers with Eldritch Blast.)
DisposableDM: that sounds very interesting
Tempest: Which got REALLY funny when I tried to visualize Hail of Arrows (attack everything within range), and all I could think of was Starfall.
DisposableDM: lol
Tempest: There's even a stealth Warhammer 40k joke in this thing somewhere.
The Radical Taoist: Naming the class feature abilities was a joy for these projects. The generally agreed winner is a little gem we gave to the Strike Leader.
DisposableDM: "with extreme prejudice"?
Tempest: Hell yes.
Tempest: Not to mention, read the first two sentences on the last paragraph of "Becoming a Strike Leader".
The Radical Taoist: Hell, the name of the example strike leader we quoted.
Tempest: (...That's a reference? You just out-geeked me.)
The Radical Taoist: (It's not a reference, it's a pun.)
DisposableDM: not following
DisposableDM: now if you had named it Mehtknag I'd follow
The Radical Taoist: Read the good sergeants name out loud, backwards.
Tempest: ...."Mr. Gank."
Tempest: *facepalm*
The Radical Taoist: As a WH40K player, though, you should have gotten the very soft reference in the sentences Tempest mentioned.
Seishi: Mir Gank
The Radical Taoist: (I always read it as More Gank in a rural accent, myself.)
DisposableDM: paul is home
The Radical Taoist: sweeeeeeeeeet
Tempest: (Kate is crooning the Fallout 3 soundtrack to me.)
The Radical Taoist: Is she high as a flag on the fourth of July?
The Radical Taoist: Or does she just want to start a fire in your heart?
Sionnis (enter): 18:38
Tempest: Hello hello!
Sionnis: Boo
DisposableDM: jerkwad
The Radical Taoist: whattup
Tempest: Oh, did he do something mean on his way to the computer?
DisposableDM: I'm continuing the yelloing match we've been having in the apartment since he walked in btw
DisposableDM: no he just can't clean the sh*t out of his ears =P
The Radical Taoist: That leaves us waiting on a Don
Sionnis: I have been communing with my muiciple government
The Radical Taoist: And what's your municipal government got to say?
Sionnis: It likes my ideas. It is beholden to me. I r genius.
The Radical Taoist: But will it pay you?
Tempest: Truly, now?
DisposableDM: warning - paul is suffering from both of the two circumstances that make him intollerable obnoxious
DisposableDM: he is both drunk and proud of himself
DisposableDM: taken alone either of those things can cause a lethal amount of aggrivation
The Radical Taoist: It is too appropriate that I'm listening to an Irish drinking song performed by Penny Whiskey right now
Sionnis: Penny Whiskey?
The Radical Taoist: Great celtic folk/rock band
The Radical Taoist: Used to be Kilbrannan, but Kilbrannan split up, and its faces found new guys to make PW
Sionnis: Right, I know the Irish Kings
Tempest: It occurs to me that "Irish drinking song" retains about 90% of its implication if you omit any one of those words.
The Radical Taoist: Penny Whiskey is more bluegrassy than Kilbrannan was.
Seishi: Looks like Don might not make it.
Seishi: "Looking bad for me making it until quite late. Still at work. And won't be out for a bit yet, add 30-60 minutes to get home... sorry guys."
DisposableDM: I see
Tempest: Just saw the mail...
The Radical Taoist: Likewise
Sionnis: Glad to see my drunkeness is not holding up the show too much.
The Radical Taoist:
Here's Kilbrannan
Sionnis: Also, got a blind date for next weekend :)
Tempest: The show has mostly been just cheering for Greg and deploying a development project lately anyway.
The Radical Taoist: Tomorrow or next week?
Sionnis: next weel.
Sionnis: weeker,
Sionnis: weeker!
Sionnis: Weekend!
Sionnis: Tour a loor a loor!
DisposableDM: I mentioned drunk right
Seishi: With you that drunk I suppose we wouldn't have much of a session anyway.
The Radical Taoist: Tomorrow I'm going to a celtic folk fest. Thus the Penny Whiskey binge now; they're playing tomorrow, along with others including the Glengarry Boys.
The Radical Taoist: I am kinda curious to see how Torrin acts
The Radical Taoist: given these circumstances.
Sionnis: You'd be surprised what tactical optins I ca create while completely sloshed.
The Radical Taoist: I suspect it will not have that much of an effect on Torrin's behaviour.
DisposableDM: complex battleplans yes, complete sentances no
Sionnis: damn right!
The Radical Taoist: If you want to go for full immersion Greg, give Torrin the chance to get a little sloshed IG.
DisposableDM: lol
Sionnis: He does have a bottle of rum he owes to the party.
Sionnis: It's in his inventory sumwheres.
DisposableDM: well, with don essentially out I'm going to say we try for next saturday, I cannot do next friday
DisposableDM: since we're down to the last few sessions of the arc so I'd like ot have the full crew for the climactic battles
The Radical Taoist: Considering that Argus is in the mood to buy the whole party drinks and then some, this kinda fits.
The Radical Taoist: I can do next Saturday.
Sionnis: By Next Saturday do we mean tommrow?
Sionnis: Or 8 days?
Tempest: Right, and somehow, under his direction, Angela and Dubhghall build something. But we have no idea what it is because we couldn't understand him when he was drunk enough to have his entire idea in his head. We pull the lever marked Start and deploy a massive Rube Goldberg abobination involving wheels, pulleys, hamsters, a quantity of cheese bordering upon the illegal, and a strangely verisimilitude-breaking car stereo system that appears to serve no purpose except stealing Lehatharath's hat.
Lehatharath: Was all that effort entirely necessary!
Seishi: Ahaha
Sionnis: Abomination
Sionnis: I am drunk, but still grammar Nazi!
The Radical Taoist: That's spelling, not grammar.
Sionnis: SCREW IT! I says!
Lehatharath: Not with my hat, give that back!
Torrin: *AHEM* Screw it I says!
The Radical Taoist: It doesn't even fit you!
Lehatharath: ((gah, shoulda been IC.))
Torrin: I can throw you off a boat again Lehath,
Torrin: Don't forget it.
Lehatharath: With you that drunk I'm not letting you anywhere near the docks, much less onto a boat.
Angela: ((Why am I visualizing all of this in oekaki style?))
Torrin: And a tower suffices well enough as a boat.
Torrin: ((Oekaki?))
Lehatharath: ((Outtakes and parodies at the end of manga books.))
Torrin: ((ahh; I cee))
Lehatharath: Do you even know in which direction the balcony is?
Torrin: It's that way!
** Torrin points towards the alchemy lab. **
** Lehatharath sighs. **
Torrin: I swears it!
Seishi: You meam omaki?
** Angela relocates her lawn chair and bag of muffins. **
Seishi: Oekaki is internet drawing app.
Lehatharath: ((Ah, omake, yes.))
** Torrin appears behind Lehath in a flash of shadows. "Oooooh, how did I do that again?" **
Seishi: Erm, yes, Omake.
Lehatharath: I'll be that I can make it so you can't jump behind me if you give me twenty seconds to prepare.
Lehatharath: *bet
Torrin: In twnenty seconds I can gut you three ways from Sunday and call it a good days work. Try again,
Angela: ((I thought oekaki was the word for quick-sketches, but omake also works. For that matter, so does SD.))
Lehatharath: You're on. One, two...
** Lehatharath moves to stand in front of the living room couch, back to the couch, pausing first to place a bucket of ice within 60 ft. in clear view. **
Lehatharath: ((Let's see if this works.)) ....nineteen...twenty!
** Torrin falls down in an oddly comical manner. **
Lehatharath: Wait, you're actually too drunk to shadow jump again?
Lehatharath: I....wasn't counting on that.
Torrin: Aha! Caught you! Villan!
Torrin:
Yuo never expected the.... drunken response to an inquisition!/div>
Lehatharath: I did not. Would you like some help to the couch or to the bed?
Torrin: Avast yee Sharnarians!
Torrin: Closing in on all sides... I feel like... mmmmmmmmm.... couch......
Angela: Yes, you certainly did catch that villainous rug. Never thought we'd ever see him brought to justice.
** Angela winks at Lehath and gestures towards the couch. **
Lehatharath: Right, couch it is.
Torrin: Yes! Rug, justice! I shall drain the life from it! Stop it from ever terrorizing the lands of Sharnarian again!
** Lehatharath offers an arm. **
** Torrin swiggles around in an very flamboyant manner, making you think it may be some sort of odd maneuvers. Before collapsing on the floor in a heap. **
Lehatharath: Easy there, I don't want to use telekinesis to put you in that couch.
Torrin: Avast, yeee.... sharnarians.... totally, woddled, with the...... shnoooooooooble... *snore*
The Radical Taoist: Ah, pausing the IC humour for a sec, I should tell you Paul
The Radical Taoist: planning to start running a game for y'all when your brother's schedule crunch comes up.
Tempest: ((And fair warning, this is so going in the log. :p ))
The Radical Taoist: ((OF COURSE!))
Torrin: ((nwhat sort of game?))
Tempest: We're not sure yet. It's mostly an excuse to get RT in the pilot's seat and Greg on the other side of the screen.
Tempest: I'd offered to do the same after my thesis is out of the way, but that's about a year away.
DisposableDM: dying to play in eberron
The Radical Taoist: Eberron 3.5 obviously
DisposableDM: just for the record, I have never had the opportunity
The Radical Taoist: Given how much stuff I have to playtest.
The Radical Taoist: Whatever you guys don't use from the EToB or Untapped Potential, I will.
The Radical Taoist: SOME WAY OR ANOTHER
The Radical Taoist: Consider yourselves warned.
DisposableDM: solid
Torrin: MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Torrin: errr, sounds cool
Torrin: You have unleashed the effects of two mastermind build creators living within talking distance upon your campaign...
The Radical Taoist: Exactly the point, my good sir.
The Radical Taoist: I made a buncha stuff!
The Radical Taoist: Use it!
Torrin: Well then, good luck, I guess.
DisposableDM: hmmmmmmm, ok what can I pair with marksman for hilarity
Tempest: Oddly, if I were doing the marksman again from the get-go, I'd be tempted to replace her signature styles with (limited) access to Diamond Mind and Falling Star.
Tempest: And really expand upon the mantra ideal. That's some lovely design space right there.
DisposableDM: oh who am I kidding, I'm definitely playing a psywar or psion of some kind
The Radical Taoist: Recall: You don't use it? I will.
DisposableDM: leave plenty of room to playtest UTP stuff tho
Torrin: I need to leverage my arse into bed.
The Radical Taoist: Incidentally, if no one plays a strike leader, you'll want to max your Spot and Listen checks.
Sionnis: So nighty mighty folks. But it is le sleepy time.
The Radical Taoist: It's good to see you in good spirits
The Radical Taoist: For all meanings of that phrase.
DisposableDM: lol
Sionnis: Thank you. Le blind date help for next weekend helps
DisposableDM: alright, I'm logging out too, we'll see about next week and beyond
DisposableDM: Disconnecting from server...
DisposableDM (exit): 19:23
Sionnis: I have had many spirits, But I hope to see you next time in good spirits.
Tempest: As opposed to a good number of spirits in you?
Sionnis: And enjoy Seoul.
The Radical Taoist: LOL, I'm already back in North America.
Sionnis: Really?
The Radical Taoist: But thank you, I did, and intend to go back.
Sionnis: So you're on proper tim zone again?
The Radical Taoist: Unless I get a contract somewhere else.
The Radical Taoist: Yeah
The Radical Taoist: One hour ahead of you.
Sionnis: Cool.
The Radical Taoist: Instead of twelve after.
Tempest: It's because we could talk more than just at dawn and dusk that RT and I did as much of that Expanded Tome of Battle as we did. :
Tempest: :)
Sionnis: In either way, Have a good one. And if you're in Halifax, grab a drink with me.
Tempest: Dammit, why the hell am I clear across the continent from everyone else?
Tempest: When Greg does his formal thing later on, screw it, I'm booking a train and visiting in person.
The Radical Taoist: Hmmm.
The Radical Taoist: If I can find an excuse to go to Nova Scotia I'll take it. Never been further east than Quebec
Sionnis: I have ot go get sober this weekend tho. So g'night
The Radical Taoist: Good night
Sionnis: I've never been further west than Toronto oddly enuf
Tempest: g;night.
The Radical Taoist: hopefully it won't take you all weekend.
Sionnis: I has raise and uber promotion. I need to sober for lasy monday.
Sionnis: last* bleh. Good nighty folks
Tempest: And to clearly enunciate what exactly happened. :)
Sionnis (exit): 19:27
The Radical Taoist: Yup, he's had a few.
Tempest: All right, I'm saving this omake, tossing it up nonetheless, and making my way across town. When Kate starts singing, she's probably lonely. Although since she's singing Fallout she's probably playing that, so I'll be back once I arrive.
