I am completely comfortable with blurring the line between GM and PC. My experiences with it have been mixed. Burning Wheel encouraged giving a lot of creative power to the PCs and as I player I loved it, as a GM I sometimes loved it and other times loathed it depending on the players I had (wallfl...

mrlost

Yeah count me in too, it was great of your work to host. Hey Mord can I paypal you ten bucks? I doubt I'll see you before comic con.

mrlost

More importantly what kind of pie should I bring to the meet-up? I'm partial to Coconut Cream. Sven, Jimmy, Czernia do you have any preferences? Mordraine, what kind of pie do you like?

Also does everyone think four pies will be enough?

mrlost

Well, I'd like to bring pie. I really like coconut cream pie. I think three or four pies should cover us.

mrlost

Any word of what sort of setting is implied in the core books. I note references to Feywild (sp?), Shadowfell, Astral Sea, a whole bunch of deities that sound unrelated to any existing D&D campaign world, and of course Tieflings. So what sort of flavor is this new edition? 3.x core was bland Gre...

I've decided that I might as well purchase D&D 4th however I'm unsure as to the need for a book of monsters. The last one that I actually got use out of was Burning Wheel's monster burner since it was about making them. I note that various websites have starter bundles for around $60 that includ...

mrlost

That would be cool.

~~[quote="devlin1"]~~Just as an aside: Where are you now? El Centro-ish?[/quote]
Yep. I work at the Ocotillo Wells State Park, where the county line actually runs. But I'm living down by El Centro, where I also substitute teach on my days off from doing Archaeology.

mrlost

Well I'd love to attend as a former SD gamer. The last few were cool. Plus I'd pony up cash for the privilege what with the two jobs I'm working down here in the desert.

mrlost

Well, I've some bad news. I'm moving. I hate living in Ramona, and so I've decided to move back in with my folks until either I find steady work, or move away to grad school. Sorry. I realize I've still got Cczernia's Marvels book, but I'm less certain if I'm borrowing anything else from anyone? But...

mrlost

Bad news. It looks like I'm moving. So I'm going to drop out. Sorry.

I think I too would be interested in playing I'll PM you my character and you can decide if it would fit your game. EDIT Or I guess I can just post it here since you don't allow PMs Corsain Cobble "the Blink Dog" emerged from Q'barra, seventeen months before the end of the Last War. He mad...

[quote="Ranulf"]I am unfamiliar with Eberron. I understand you are planning on using 3.5 rules. I assume as a 3.5 only player I could pick the game up fairly easily?

Probably roll, they don't need full stats. Maybe reduce their scores by 5 or some other fixed number and roll d10

mrlost

~~[quote="Count Zero"]~~What about Outage?[/quote]

Lol. Actually Gol. Yeah that would work.

mrlost

Well Tieflings have been one of the most consistently popular races in D&D ever since the publication of Planescape. F'ex most of my D&D character's have been Tieflings, or Humans, but I'm a little goofy as you have observed. Anyway, Gnomes have been universally despised for a while as being...

[quote="&quot"][size=84]In essence, what you’re going to see mechanically is the d20 system evolved: rebuilding the clunky parts, greasing the wheels and polishing the chrome until you can see your character in it. Part of that polishing includes ramping up the coolness factor on some of...

mrlost

Yeah, that technique has me really interested in Capes now. Where I wasn't really before because of the gimmicky interlocking character sheets. The best parts for me was the reveal that DJ Noir was actually Stan (Sven's character), when we realized that the we aren't the only empowered at the school...

I might be available. I'm in Berkeley right now with the gf. She's been showing me the campus, the gaming/comic book stores, and today we're headed to SF to the Sony Metreon (sp?). I should be back by Sunday but I think the plan is to visit her folks first, since her best friend is back from school ...

mrlost

Yeah, the tools don't look bad. Reminds me of a MMORPG but I think that was intentional. The Virtual Table thing seems worth a try. I'm sure I'm not the only one with gamer friends spread out across the globe. They were talking about it at Games of Berkeley last night. I like the teases about per-en...

mrlost

I rather enjoyed it. Though I admit I was a little lost in certain scenes. Really looking forward to next session.

mrlost

Reminds me of Blue Rose actually.

"La la la unicorns L.A..."

mrlost

Yeah, I can swing that. Congratulations CZ! Just to be clear the usual time is 7? Or is it 6:30. I've been confused lately.

mrlost

Oh gods the flashbacks, the flashbacks. WHHHYYY! I remember the first time I played D&D, thankfully I had been killed in the opening five minutes but then the DM spent 2 hours of real time describing the traveling (maybe that's an exaggeration, but it was long enough to let me roll up a new char...

mrlost

Well, I'm interested but I doubt that I can commit the time to drive all that way. I just finished running an mini-campaign from 6th to 15th level set in Karrnath for the Champions group. Actual play is here Good luck on it. Eberron is the most interesting and fun setting since Planescape, and a gre...

mrlost

Sounds perfect for the Champions group.

mrlost

I was diagnosed with it as a child. But I've learned to handle it. Good book that helped a lot was "Pretending to be Normal." EDIT I got a 35 on the test.

mrlost

I don't see the big deal. As long as the kid has a name. If his parents refer to him as 4Real his whole life he'll either accept that name or reject it, but it isn't the governments purpose to define the identity of its members. I happen to know a guy named Chance, another named Marian, and have hea...

[quote="cczernia"]Actually, I was thinking about a new rules called negative attributes. These would be weaknesses or limitation to your power aspects that the GM assigns during play.

~~[quote="cczernia"]~~You can do whatever you want with your powers. You can play like Runaways where they aren't sure what to do with their powers. Just no sushi dinners with Spiderman.[/quote]

Okay. Cool. We have got to pick superhero names.

[quote="cczernia"] What did you like about the superpowers rules?[/quote] They're very comic-booky. I liked that we seemed to each develop are abilities as it became appropriete to the story rather than trying to find a good use for predesigned powers. Instead of having a hammer, and looking for na...

mrlost

Okay.

mrlost

Its coming up, at the end of September. I'm planning on just volunteering again, because I like working the convention Artshow.

There is evidently going to be a Changeling Larp. And I bet I know whose running it too, though in hindsight I shouldn't have made all those blind jokes.

mrlost

Since Sven's picture isn't showing up, this is the guy right? I see matt & leary in the link you posted but its just a blank page when it loads.

mrlost

Ask Cczernia, he's a tennis playing machine.

I personally think its too much like Ping Pong to ever take it seriously and enjoy on its own merits. If any.

Honestly, I'd rather play Ping Pong, or for that matter Soccer.
Yea! Soccer, the game that I got to kick ass at in school.

mrlost

These are beautiful, I've been reading over them in the week since comic-con and I must congratulate you on your efforts.

mrlost

~~[quote="Count Zero"]~~That could be fun. It is a good cheap gaming convention. I still think we ought to organize a con in San Diego.[/quote]

That would be cool. How did that er Pacific Con thing go. I see an ad for it on the main page.

mrlost

Why yes, yes it would. Unless I manage to make it down to Desert Con.

mrlost

Yeah, well at least it'll be air conditioned, and probably 48 hours of straight gaming. Though sadly no X-box tournaments this year :(

I don't know but I'm thinking of attending for the saturday, if only for Redfoxes Star Wars game.

I'd be interested in some gritty fantasy. Can the rat catcher talk to rats? Even if they don't talk back and everyone thinks he's crazy?

Otherwise, Gutav looks pretty intriguing.

In truth the contaminants can be thought of as tiny shards of the Alien. Each one, while small, functions as a powerful psychic amplifier and contains a small living protomind.

So we're playing Cczernia's Super High game, right?

Cczernia: you are making a character for me, correct? Or do you want me to make my own character?

Sven: Who is your character again? Unless its a surprise.
