Comments:
<0> DaveHowe: hehe, yeah I can imagine.. that's really nice.. having players play planescape as clueless primers.
<1> Clone: "you would have to ask the medicine man that, and he isn't here"
<2> tavi-san: hum? what?
<1> Clone: could be worse. usually you dump clueless primers in one of the demonic planes :)
<2> tavi-san: copper, silver gold and platinum, ofcourse. like any other sensible game ;)
<0> DaveHowe: do you have the planescape versions where they actually refer to demons and such instead of baatezu and the like?
<2> tavi-san: and, uhm, the whole money thing is a bit skewed as compared to a real PnP session..
<1> Clone: no - but they were clueless primers. I told them "demon" not something more accurate until they knew better
<2> tavi-san: my 4th level character probably has 700 plat or so in his pockets
<1> Clone: and for that extra touch of evil - about half way though the session, I collected in all the character sheets, and all the inventory they could remember is what they got to keep ;)
<0> DaveHowe: hehe, Ill remember that one for next sunday evening :)
<1> wlfshmn: heh. I had a party rob a orc treasure house once - there was about 5Kpp worth in there, almost entirely silver or copper
<2> DaveHowe: what, ruleplaying the blood war now? ;)
<2> DaveHowe: yeah, our DM has done similar cp hauls
<2> DaveHowe: we nowdays never leave home without a couple of bags of holding
<2> DaveHowe: or, if at all possible, a portable hole is nice
<3> Now I remember why I never got into RPGs.
<1> "ok, you are there; the room is filled with treasure beyond your dreams; you wander from chest to chest full of silver and copper pieces all mixed..."
<0> we went from chicks, to young chicks, to a horrible display of geekiness.. *shudder*
<1> oh, and a huge statue made of solid gold. its value purely in gold was astronomical, in terms of art it was probably priceless...
<1> standing on a wide plinth also apparently made of gold
<1> (which incidentally is a bloody good conductor; the insulation between statue and base was hard to see....)
<2> Clone: There is logic in that though
<0> wlfshmn: there is?
<3> <Magic_Al> http://i.cnn.net/money/popups/2005/pf/new_ten/new_10_bill_front.jpg
<3> Err.
<3> That's a picture of the new, prettier $10 US bill.
<2> Clone: they are all geek-interests
<3> Also you should note that Alexander Hamilton is the only other person ever to be shot by a sitting US vice president.
<0> wlfshmn: all non gay women like women.
<0> s/wo//
<1> Clone: its a pity ad&d doesn't have the concept of "ok, your next clone is parachuted in..."
<0> DaveHowe: umh, there is the spell clone of course...
<2> the spell clone requires a rather sizeable amount of preparations though
<2> the odds of your fighter having had that sort of preparatins made are... slim
<0> wlfshmn: contingency?
<4> tavi-san: slave driver
<2> Clone: contingenzy is better though, but not foolproof
<1> wlfshmn: one item of inspired evil - I gave one group a amulet of instant cloning, four uses. if a wearer dies, a clone of themselves with up to date memories would instantly appear one pace to their left...
<2> Clone: plenty of death-magic around to upset your carefully planned contingencies
<2> DaveHowe: bwahaha
<2> DaveHowe: so you leave corpses in quadruplicates now ;)
<1> wlfshmn: and yeah, it was a very neat row of corpses :)
<2> DaveHowe: the clone arrived nude, ofcourse, and in the path of the lightningbolt that slew the original ;)
<1> wlfshmn: pretty much, yeah. it was a rapidly moving horizontal blade trap though
<2> DaveHowe: I love it ;)
<1> he *almost* got away with one - it severed him at the ankles
<2> DaveHowe: I'll have to remember that ;)
<1> lucky rolls
<1> and just for added evil - the next clone arrived one pace to the left of his feet, not his corpse....
<2> I'm not really cut out to be a DM though.. I do it once in a while, so our regular DM gets to play once in a while as well
<0> wlfshmn: let's have DaveHowe prepare a session for us ;)
<1> too much tendency towards munchinism, and I would rather die than become one of those :)
<2> I always feel bad when I kill characters
<2> DaveHowe: oh, we all know the rules upside down and backwards in our sleep, or atleast where to find said rules
<2> DaveHowe: we solve this problem by doing things a little more freeform
<1> wlfshmn: I *always* give players a chance. sometimes they don't recognise it, but there is always a chance
<0> DaveHowe: hmm, I find that if you play a different setting like dark sun, which you havent dm-ed yourself, you are pretty oblivious, even with all the knowledge from other campains.
<1> I also tend to negate really unlucky rolls in favour of embarr***ing pratfalls
<2> DaveHowe: we'll get down to numbers and batteling on the chessboard if we have to, but usually we do stuff in our head or on rough drafts
<2> Clone: shattered sun looked interesting ;)
<1> so "player is beheaded" tends to become stuff like "player throws his sword accidentally and it shatters on the stone wall into a dozen pieces"
<2> DaveHowe: oh, ofcours,e there is always a chance, anything else wouldn't be fun
<5> OK... that new quote on the quotes page is just WRONG.
<1> of course if accumulated hp loss gets them, or they persist in stupidity, then they get to roll a new character
<2> DaveHowe: you can still manage to do something stupid and trigger an encounter you can't really hope to survive thoguh
<6> *kaboom* :)
<1> but often they end up retreating in humiliating defeat instead of becoming compost
<2> DaveHowe: although, you should never say never, my character escaped such a situation when our regular DM figured we needed to die to learn that lesson ;)
<1> wlfshmn: pretty much. I wont save them from deliberate stupidity - magically, their next character would be smarter
<1> wlfshmn: but there is always a chance to escape, even if its naked and covered in dung :)
<2> DaveHowe: that phase-shift spell I had memorized and never used in god knows how many sessions, came in handy as the rest of the party was beeing played like puppets by a pair of vampires far above our skill ;)
<1> wlfshmn: which happened once. I gave them an out - via a cesspool, only reachable via the shower block of where they were held. they were permitted to take a towel....
<2> DaveHowe: apparenlty the DM took pityy on us though, because he was nice enough to make most of the rest chase me
<5> aaaaaagh! D&D freaks
<5> keep away~!
<1> anyhoo - gotta make a move. need to pick up some stuff for my new job starting monday :)
<1> ttfn
<5> later Dave
<2> DaveHowe: bye, and good luck on the job ;)
<7> ffmpeg is a whore!
<2> otto's irresistable dance would be more fun ;)
<2> reality: any good?
<7> Can't even get the darn thing to compile
<7> Well, compile correctly, I should say
<2> software that doens't cost money can't be a whore, can it..
<5> reality: it hates you
<2> at worst, it's a slut..
<7> It refuses to compile...so I'm trying to use a package...which refuses to use the mp3 encoder
<8> wlfshmn: i dont know what game to play which $fiancee would like too
<2> tavi-san: no luck with CoH? it sounds like a better match for a female gamer than DDO. but then again, it's hard to stereotype acurately ;)
<2> tavi-san: there is a crapload of female characters in DDO, but the number of female -players- is probably considerably lower
<5> is CoH fun?
<2> no idea, it's Shadur's game ;)
<2> hmm. I'm thining that carbonara I had for lunch did speed up my degestive system a tad
<5> mmmmm carbonara
<2> yupp, went by this little italian hole-in-the-wall where I used to have lunch when I worked in town, today during lunch, so I figured I would try it out again
<2> very nice food. certainly better, if not healthier, than the fastfood I typically feed upon these days
<5> wlfy: heard about those Ryan Air ads they have in .se now?
<2> nope
<8> wlfshmn: hrm, i >want< CoH or CoV
<8> but $fiancee kinda liked guild wars trailers and movies
<2> Tamahome_: that would probably require watching TV ;)
<8> brb need to test the new GPO
<5> wlfy: I dunno, the news thing didn't specify... it could've been a billboard for all I know
<2> Tamahome_: well, GW is supposed to be a bit of fun too, but I've never tried it
<2> tavi-san: GW isn't instanced though, I think
<5> GW?
<2> Tamahome_: that was intended for tavi
<2> Tamahome_: and GuildWars
<5> oh
<5> *yawn*
<9> haha, my boss just emailed me: "Sorry, but my meeting is running late, we are going to have to reschedule for 12:00, rather than 11." I replied: "Thats fine, my sleeping ran late as well, so noon will work best."
<5> LOL
<2> Steakk: ;)
<10> not bad.
<5> too late now.
<8> lol
<8> wlfshmn: the pvp part in GW seems really nice
<9> I can see it now...hes sitting in his meeting w/all the big-wigs, his blackberry starts vibrating indicating an email...he reads it, and starts snickering to himself in the meeting...everyone else just stares at him...
<11> Bosses don't snicker.
<9> this one does
<11> Then he's breaking one of the rules of being a suit. No emotions.
<2> tavi-san: perhaps, I don't know it
<2> synapsis: They are allowed anger.
<8> wlfshmn: hrm, i really do need some trials on those games and see how it goes
<11> "IS THIS A NUMBER 2 PENNNNCILLL?!"
<5> LOL!
<5> well, dog is happy to see me
<9> ...
<5> every March break we have to take care of a dog for 2 weeks
<11> Red rocket.
<5> so he came over this morning
<5> heya Daakman
<12> brb
<13> cum sa ma conectez la net pe linux ?
<13> how do i connect to the internet in linux >?
<9> turn on the correct interface, be sure you have either DHCP enabled on your network, or manually set the netmask, broadcast, ip addy, gateway, etc, before bringing it up.
<13> but where do i do that... i`m new to linux
<14> Whoever ****ed up /etc/sudoers on shanta can retry his ****up now
