BurritoMaker GM |
Just a few meta-reminders, the following quests are still outstanding:
- Oleg wants a Tatzelwyrm head to mount in the trading post as a trophy.
- Bokken wants enough Fangberries to make a bunch of potions.
- Tuskgutter
- Kesten has asked that the party track down Falgrim Sneed - dead or alive.
And based on discussion last night, we will be playing on WEDNESDAY nights from this point forward.

Had a lot of fun last night guys. Absolutely loved everyone's reaction to the Rickety Bridge map! Plus there's something nice about being able to game until 4 a.m. and then not wake up until 10:15 in the morning. (I even managed to cook breakfast, do laundry and clean today before work.)
Podcast editing begins tonight!

Hey guys, sorry things have been so quiet around here lately. I think we've all been pretty busy except for game nights. Just think though, in a few weeks we'll pretty much be moving play over to here for about 90% of the time.
Zach ... on the occasion that we need to do a battle-oriented BurritoMaker encounter, you willing to give up an hour or so of Iron Kingdom nights?

I steadfastly refuse on the count that I'm a dick...
but in all serious MJ I'd be willing to give up whole weeks if that is what is necessary.
Also Chris if you are reading this we switched over to Wednesday night if you haven't figured it out already...also your an asshat
Poof |
Edit to Zach's post,
Asshat has recently been replaced so here are a few alternatives you might like to consider for future use
Example 1: also your an asshate*
Example 2: also your an asshater**
and in extreme cases (or being foreign)
Example 3: also your a wanker
* asshate is the latest trend of ass-word usage
**asshater does not always mean one puts hats on asses

Both informative and giving me ways to insult Chris! I love it!

I've already got two ideas floating around in the back of my head.
Hmmmm, where to begin. Where to begin?
Splitting the party. Zombies. Climbing. Bear trap. Lots of bandits and lots of arrows. Big dude with a giant club. The cackling witch returns. Owlbear.
I'll let someone else fill in the details.

MJ warned this adventure would be hard so I have a few more characters lined up. MJ has made it quite apparent that he hates Garrett's Stealth skill so I cant see him surviving this...
With a potion of Blur from Zavier Garrett was sniping like a fiend. Then the Owlbear with sent came along and ruined it. One shot me into oblivion.
MJ also turned the bear traps against us! Took a 3rd of Elrose's health away... Of course Garrett should have been searching for traps...

Oh, I love Garrett's stealth ability. The mechanics behind it make me cringe though.
As Garrett was approaching the corner of the building I was having a "Oooo! Oooo! Wait for it ..." moment and then you waved Elrose forward.
I've got everything lined up for the very beginning of the session on Wednesday. We'll start with a few rolls for Sirneff and Zavier. Then jump to Leroy's return to the trading post that afternoon. What time of day would you guys say you started the "attack" on the Stag Lord's fort?

We would have waited until night fall.
On a side note I have been building a automated character sheet for iron kingdoms in Excel using VBA out of boredom at work (lack of map tool macros need writing).
I have easily found over 100 different editing mistakes in that book so far from entering data into the sheet. Like the spell "Rime" is not on a single spell list. Lots of crap like that all over the book. Lots of spelling errors and alphabetic lists that are out of alphabetic order in the middle of them for some reason.
Privateer Press needs to fire their editor.

They also purposely make all rulings and descriptions long winded and do no use the same terms to describe rules for equipment, gear, 'jacks, skills, etc... Its making it a pain in the ass for me to have to rewrite everything instead of copying and pasting into the sheet's db. Making this character sheet take longer then it would have if I had made one for PF or DnD.
Zachman08 |
Privateer Press always has a bunch of grammatical and spelling errors in they're books but it never really bothered me as long as I know what they are saying but yeah they really need new editors.
Also the reason why the aren't using the same terms is because most of the abilities and spells (and rules) are pretty much copied and pasted from the Warmachine rules and then modified from that to work as an RPG. I think it works well because I'm such a big fan of the game and understand it because I've been playing it for 5+ years. It's probably more annoying for you guys because your coming into this cold and Paizo is insanely good at streamlining everything.
I also shared another automated character sheet that I found on the internet, It's a pretty good one too (although I haven't gotten a chance to look at yours yet Brian).
Also as a prelude for the next encounter... DOOOOMMMMMM!!
Last thing, HEY WANKER IF YOU'RE BACK ALREADY GET BACK ON THE XBOX WE STILL HAVE TO FINISH BORDERLANDS.

Its different just reading the book vs transposing all the info to another place. Its like 20 isolated people wrote this book. its horrible. Its would be ok if I was just reading and learning to play. But when I have to rewrite everything so it all matches the rule terms that they made up... there is a problem.

Hey all, hopefully we'll be wrapping this adventure up tonight! I'll see everyone online a little before Zach has normally been joining us ... 10'ish Eastern. Just got a text from Zach, it will probably be 7:15 (his time) tonight.
Maptool will be up and running by the time I get onto Skype so feel free to join in whenever you see the server. I'll be adding a few more owlbears to the map.
Oh wait, I shouldn't have said that!
