Of what does a planet dream?



Hello world!


male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller

Are we all supposed to be in the same group? and if so, why?


And here I thought you-all worked that out already.

Not necessarily arriving at the same time (I think Khalil is planning to have scoped the place out beforehand and be waiting), but present for collective briefing / Q&A.

If you want to talk in real-time, I'm pretty sure that I and the other three players with finished sheets will be available in Paizochat this evening. (The other two can arrive late or be called in "as needed".)

I am not sure I will be on this evening. I just have no idea what we are doing here or why Krasnyy would be coming. i have spoken to no one other then you since we made pc's.


Okay, I got one and PM'd it to you. Let me know what you think.

As an aside, we now know the test to determine the mental maturity level of an AGI: the Turing-Diaz Test.

Could be worse. It could have been pintsize.


Howdy, you people.

Yay!


FYI: Everyone but flats has a secure data jack somewhere readily accessible on their morph. Some information is still better off never touching the mesh.

Sorry guys, crazy moving weekend. Will be back to normal daytime posting tomorrow.

No problem - I'm getting ready to fly to Seattle. T-2d:0h:15m.

Geographic map of Mars is up. The one in Sunwards distorts features E/W of the zero point. This is the more familiar Mercator projection, which distorts N/S.

T-18h:25m to Seattle.

PSA: I'm back from Paizocon! Was very fun, and very tiring. I'll get back to posting shortly.

Also, we might be gaining another couple PCs. One who really liked EP when he played at Paizocon, and one who's the GM for another PBP I'm in here.

Sorry, I did not notice this was moving. I will post up a bit later.

Handy/interesting ref on the skies of Sol: Wikipedia on extraterrestrial skies.

DH's dissertation defense was this afternoon. Consensus of the committee was that this thing is good to go.

In other words? *ding* DH has just gained a level in Awesome.


Male Human Scholar 8/Gunslinger 8

It resumes! :D

Let's get this show back on the road. :D

Oladon won't be rejoining us, which leaves me to decide what to do with Mathar since (like all PCs) he was integral to the plot.

Pinvendor might still be on his way in, depending on what his other games do. Gabriel remains a WIP.


M DM level 20 beguiler. if you disbelieve, i'm revealed as a level 2 bard.

I don't run other pbp games, so if your schedule is settled and able to do again i am happy to play once more. alternately if a reboot is desired we could do that as well. (tho i'd stay with Dante)


I like the start we've got, so I'll stick with it unless you players vote against.


Testing. I'm all for continuing from where we left off.


Krasnyy is in.


Male Human Scholar 8/Gunslinger 8

Woo! I'm here.


Other Kentucky Derby (Species: Human) Expert 4 / Generalist 1

Now that the never-ending migraine has been vanquished, we are moving. Post away!


male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller

I'll update tonight or Wednesday


I'm not in a good position to take on another game at this point. DM, would you remove me please?

Thanks.

Certainly. As soon as I figure out how.


male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller

I am a bit confused here. Where are we headed?


Other Kentucky Derby (Species: Human) Expert 4 / Generalist 1

Oladon/Mathar: I've been unable to find controls with which to do this. Suggestion in Paizochat is that it's automated after some period of your inactivity.

Seekerofshadowlight: Your safe-route, which is good for six more minutes, leads into the souk outside Little Shanghai dome. It's effectively the local equivalent of the Shades, and any sting on the Johnsons' Jhonen-Smythes' location or contacts should be unable to trace you through it if you follow routine precautions. (For ex, I assume you're each routing your mesh presence through a disposable ecto, since that's the equivalent of today's pay-as-you-go tracfone. Once you're beyond the dome proper, it will be a good time to swap them out in order to wear a different name/mesh ID.)

After that, you're free to choose a spot to plan your heist. Or just go for a vehicle and figure it out while you catch up with the courier.


It's automatically removed if the gameplay thread is inactive for three months; that already happened, but it came back because the gameplay thread is active again.

You can "Edit Campaign" on the main page and then uncheck me under "current players".

How do you roll fate dice on here?

How does that arrive at the fudge dice spread?


Other Kentucky Derby (Species: Human) Expert 4 / Generalist 1

1d3 has an average roll of 2, so if you subtract 2 per die, you get a result spread of -1, 0, +1 (per die).

I think at this point we're probably waiting for yon GM to continue/resolve the chase scene, yus?


male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller

Looks that way.
