The tech smiles at you,

"yes yes we will get you a replacement at once Sir"

he hands it to another tech who places it on some tables Jack has placed all the finds from his back pack on. The lady is talking to Jack as the commander comes over to Gurr and Annie

Carl, due to past interaction with you in other campaigns, it is very difficult not to post a page and a half rant here

Lord Foul II:

LOCATION: The Copper Helm Inn, Port City.
an old Inn, dark and dry, full of seedy types looking for work not 100% above the law, Your here cus your broke, looking for work and trying to keep out of trouble,

You see a note.

Protection needed for a lady
paid work, good rates + risk pay.
NO Niroikeons

Ask for Max.


Male Human Nurd

I dont like posting stuff for other games in someone esles game threads,
Sorry but its bad RPG-ket if you know what I mean. Best to PM me for info.


EDITED

Here's a link to the setting
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringworld
It's not 100% the same world
Changes are
1: There is magic, and no gods as such more domains and faiths yes not the gods of old are all gone, why? well may faiths have idea's on that.

2: Earth and Pathfinder setings/worlds, the old ones made a copy this said of every world with life on it and placed that land mass falttened + seas on the inside of the ring wrold, the Ring serface is so vast that this is more than posible, you then can be from an alternt setting uses books etc, but no gods.

2: Humans from Earth [as in the ring world books] have yet to find the ring world so no earth stuff [But there is an earth land mass, with humans on it, the years is about 40BC as for as culture gos.

3: Other plains, Yes there are and links to the, all afterlives are linked they say, planes as well, how well thats to be found out.

4: Tech is low, High tech stuff is Artifact level and has to be found in game. T

5: The story's talk of the "old ones" who could fly to the stars, and lived in flying city's, it was they who made the great Ring so some say, others that the world s flat, and the grate arch is where god lives.

Other things
night and day, There is day and night but its always noon as the sun is over head when day.

Best asking in that game thread not this, Lyns time is short and adding other game chat here just takes away from it.

Ring World

Ok your start "Port City" a huge sea port on one of the two vast seas of aa Ring World,[not "THE" ring world but A Ring world, Sinwoulds is the grate planes, counter spin is the vast woods, spin left, the magic spill hills, to the sing right they say is another rim wall but thats so far away.
They say that every world has been mapped here and that every race can be found on the ring. It may be true, for a small band who see a Sign go up with in the Copper Helm Inn, they may just find out what each other are and can do wile looking for a wee bit of coin.

= = = = = = = = = =

The adventure begins in the Copper helm Tavern in the seedy harbor town of in Port City. Your Down on your luck, and willing to risk it all, you've gathered here to see what work can be had, A note gos up, hands needed to protect a lady its says, meet here later at Spin 8 and asked for Max.

Character requirements are as follows:

- 1nd level characters.
- States 18, 8, 1d10+7 for the other 4.
- 350 gp starting gold.
- 3 starting traits.
- Clerics (or any other Domain user) select any domain they wish. There are no deities. Instead, you follow your domains per say.
- Each player must write a short description of there Race+Background+how he came by any odd things they have, you can make up placing on the Ring and how you got to port town.

Now I am going to let Players build or Pick any race, BUT Check the race with http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/creating-new-races MAX Race Points 15 ( RP).

NO CR for races, build it with RP [max 15] or you can't have it, this is for balance.

Material may be taken from ANY official Pathfinder sourcebook OR 3d party book and www.d20pfsrd.com.

We will also be using the
honor-points
system, you start with Ziro Honor.
= = = = = = = = = =

Any further questions should be submitted below, NO PMs

I aim 6 [+/-1] candidates with Alts well written up as character here.
Place you PC in a temp ALT do NOT post your full PC here.

I would close Recuriting in 7 Days or when I have 6/7 PCs I like and can play.

I want I post a day min from each player, I don't do slow games.

* one gripe, don't post "Interested", Post a Question, a PC outline or Alt, If you just say "thinking about it, I will not be happy as you take up time from other players. "Put up or shut up" being the rule here.

Last of all Have fin.

As far as the robot thing goes, I think the 'perfect' memory would mostly apply to things like menial tasks and memorizing textbooks, with a chance of ocasionally misplacing a data directory.

So basically he can always take 10 on memorization checks, and take 20 on memorization checks to learn a simple mechanical skill like piloting. Basically he can easily beat the DC. However trick flying is another thing and comes with a risk of failure. Does that sound fair to everyone? I think it keeps the flavor of the idea without letting him be too perfect.

cool


Male Human Nurd

I dropped it HRMS-XI "Hermes" after I messes up explaining why I think your PC should roll as a PC and not Auto skills learning in a Robot/Came Data like way, so no saying any more, I jut don't want to mess up any more etc.

Just because he isn't being human yet doesn't mean he won't be. He's been here for about 3/4 of a day thus far.

Yep thats fine, I'm cool with that, its the perfect memory AND understanding I'm having a problem with.

More robot AI drivel:

Understanding, well yes lets look at the bear again this is where AIs fall down, put "bear" into Google now start reading the 6000000 results, which one is the right one? which may help, which is wrong, which could get you killed? Humans do this all the time, but we can filter because some thing FEEL's wrong when seen in Context.

See this is call just "context" in the AI world and its why computers can type what you say [not always well], but have real problems understanding "what" you just said.

The ability to understand meaning is just not "there" without an understanding of "context" when Contact is linked to emotions, then the real problems start for any kind of AI, its why we have such a empathic systems built into out bodies. We really do FEEL what others feel.

Now your a human playing a robot, you can't see how much "Feeling Context recognition" your doing, feeling your way along situations and events, you can play a robot we all kind, , to really make and AI is one hell of a problem,

look at it this way, you had the wobot think, "I am not a viable food source for this bear nor is it likely to see me as a threat. I will now leave so as to not provoke the bear."

The context you gave was I'm Safe, then you said I will go.
If your safe why go?

The bear stops and looks at your Robot, can your robot tell what its thinking?


Male Human Nurd

It just hit me

I'm now thinking Carl is like Dave Lister from RedDwarf [he even likes Currys], Arthurs is like Arnold Rimmer and "Hermes" is like Kryten, where Carl keeps trying to Get Hermes to brake his programing and be a free being where Arthurs AKA Arnold Rimmer want to keep him under the thumb and cleaning.

Kryten leans to lie

But my point is this LONG and wordy!:

cognition is not comprehension,
This is my BIG gripe with Data and such,
Unlike Spock who CAN feel but blocks it.
Data dos not feel.

In Computer Science its called a
FC-Y-AI Problem

or "1st create your artificial intelligence" problem
When someone says "Lets get a computer to [Some thing humans find simple] then we can [Something computers can do all day].."

Its the 1st part the forget its the real pain in the A** to do.
Way because a lot of what humans do takes feels and feelings are important, because it tunes out once you start to get into higher levels of intelligence in the animal kingdom with us at the top, you start getting "Feeling" embedded in complex behavior. Our brains its seems use feeling with in complex logic, [yes we do use such in our brains cognition], because its used to map and speed up complex thinking,
where as just working on logic alone is way to SLOW,

A bear in the woods

Mr WoBot
"O a sound lets analyse it"
"O some movement lets analyse that as well"
Crush Crushcrushcrush crush ARRRR!!!"

Human With silly Feelings

"A sound, whats that!" get ready for danger
"Movement!" start moving away from it
"LOOK BEAR RUN!"
Lives

What dos any of that mean, it means on a very base level,
"We encode experience and events with feelings so we can link
cognition to comprehension in a very fast way"

The Can I kill it?->I Can I eat it? _> Can a Sc*w it
way of thinking

Poor old Mr Data may think faster but he dos not comprehension faster, in other words poor Mr Wobots unlike humans is very limited an only good for counting whats on the shelves and stacking them.

This is why AIs are not so simple to make after all.

my Point is this, TinMan comes over as nothing more than a Datapad with legs so far, no if he started to show, original complex behavior than wow mumma we could be on to a winner,

"no whats this, its not a banana its an?"

I'm a robot. . . .

Hermes doesn't require any repetition.
He repeats back step by step instructions to the letter as Carl gave them.
"Is this correct?"

Is Hermes a PC or not?

If hes a Device that dos not have its own mind and all it can do its copy then I can get the Auto Pilot to do that and no need for Hermes, if hes a PC, Hermes needs to adaptively think or there is no PC to play in my book, hes do different from the data-Tablets


Male Human Nurd

Noooo Adon can't die Carl needs him


Thinking about it a half giant cleric would just fit better, really looks like the party needs a dedicated healer/second front line fighter. Range attacks are covered.

Big half giant with a large sword and shield would be a nice tank in a stand up fight.


Male Human Nurd

I call them "CyberFaxes" like willam Gibson who invented the idea and Peter Hamilton's mindstar rising got the idea down pat


hes not a half giant any more, going with something like a warlock, but psionic


Rolls

1d10 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
1d10 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
1d10 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
1d10 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

an emotionally cold grammaton would be interesting with the dread, who creates fear (not implying i would do fear on you but for any NPCs we interact with, theres a creepy warforged and a stone-faced grammaton hahaha)

I'm not sure how the inquisitor will fight, weapon-wise (melee/ranged/both), i imagine the summoner will likely fight ranged while his eidolon fights melee. my character will start melee but transition to ranged as his levels increase.

so initially, i imagine we will need at least some melee support. it seems like everyone so far has some sort of spellcasting/manifesting, so that will be interesting as well. some more healing couldn't hurt, but this being eberron, perhaps some wands will suffice)

That sounds cool, I really would like to see what a grammaton can do, in the Inter PC play of a Emotionless Elans grammaton and a dread would be fun, NPCs would freak.

Could also do Half-Gaint cleric/Vatalist, Ill have a think.

the group makup sounds like a tactical thinking group over a kicking down doors group.

I also know Monkeygod, he plays a cool PC in anther game I am on, in fact the only game I am in on here.


Cool then i think I may take a Half Gaint, that would be fun, Elans cryptic or telepath would be great fun,

Ill look at a warlock like sorcerer that would work,
thinking a Grammaton would be cool.

I used to like having bad guys explode on death, hehe always slows the mad rush to kill down.


Male Human Nurd

A good added trick with that level to drop null magic areas in there, not all over the place just in there path in a trap kind of way, then they have to make a call on fighting in place or falling back to fight, I had a game like that and it was great fun just working out how to pull the bad guys out the Null magic area. Had to do some real tactical thinking and not just charge in.


Male Human Nurd

Sorry have to share this,

Very cool lady who knows her, stuff, I say this as I have been having a long running argument with a guy who says Japaneses/Chinese marshal arts rule, where I say, the Greeks, Italians, Arabic marshal arts where just as hard core.

Edit- far to long

What I mean is Monky-G

Aces Fear Is Nonacceptance.

Ace is a Doppelganger, a being hated and loathed by others because they
Copy and become like others. He has a fear of Nonacceptance, as hes of a race that is hunted and killed, I think has had been seeking to fit in,
To me Ace seems like he desperately "needs" to fit in, hence he seems "needy" to me

:)

Hope that Helps you get what I mean MG


Male Human Nurd

Monky I'm not implying any thing about your real life
or if you do or do not have a Significant Other.
Its just to me Ace comes over as being really needy sometimes
when it comes to the personal relationships interactions
Is that intentional?

Its as if he needs to be accepted with in a kind of peer protective group, He needs to be seen as a being excepted.
