Caroline--Yeah actually could you get me 4 more of those bone d6s that I use. I need them to finish my "fireball" set. Thanks they shouldn't be more than 8 bucks. Having fun?

Jeremy--Woot eh? I shall smite Stumpy first then, how shall you like it then? More woot? I think not.

Okay I got a call last night from my parents. I have a "family" thing that I have to take care of on Saturday, so no day trip for me. Blah... (sorry Leon that I didn't get to respond to you yesterday with new "exciting" blogger rollout.)

Wayne--Dude I shall not be attending the game tonight, unless a miracle occurs and I feel better. Summer cold is kicking my butt, the only reason that I came into work today was because of a big project that I have to be here for.

I'm feeling poorly enough right now that the Sunday game is in doubt. Everyone should watch the blog this weekend. Thanks.

Azmir (IC): I do not see anything here that can possibly aid me, especially now that I have my beautiful new staff. Yes, it's so beautiful, the most beautiful of all, certainly better than any mere sword.
(OOC) Maybe someday I'll actually have a use for it besides getting in the way.

So, are we on for Saturday? Need to know by Wednesday evening.

John--Okies. I think my char's done now, aside from one last question. Due to world history, could I take Elven as a bonus language (dwarven enemy)?
Jeremy--You realize that sword's worth 9155g, possibly more?

No you will have just fallen thru the rotted floorboards of a building above. While trying to get out you find yourself in the basement of the warehouse, where you hear the battle. A little after they claim the bard's items you will arrive. Memorize your spells accordingly.

Published by Anonymous on 6/24/2003 02:51:00 PM


John--I'm liable to pick up a magic missile wand then (Magic Domain whee). Can I buy partially charged wands for an corresponding reduction in price? Ruling on Restoration being spontaneous? Am I ahead or behind the party? (Specifically, will I have encountered vampires by the time I meet the party and/or had a chance to reprepare spells?)

Dan--*sigh* I'm not sure that I can expalin, nor wish to explain the girl thing to you. We don't have a common point of reference :) So how is school going, and what did your dad say about the powerbook?

Yeah dammit I told you guys it was a curse :)

No you see Azmir hasn't realized what a curse his permanent haste is until he tries his luck with the ladies. Then that extra partial action is going to suck, muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..... yeah thats it

Published by Anonymous on 6/24/2003 11:18:00 AM


No no... the tentacles were just the means to the end. The halfling was dead the moment that strange bone-creature placed that "curse" on her long ago. She's just been on "borrowed time" ever since. ;)

Caroline--Could you please post a list of the magical/interesting items that your Bard had on her. Also any gold/gems please. I never in a million years thought that I would kill someone with Evard's Black Tentacles..... damn.

Published by John on 6/24/2003 09:55:00 AM


I hope that you all had fun last night. Well it seems as if the group is more managable now. The following is the lists for my games.

Monday D&D: Jeremy, Leon, Dustin, Wayne, Caroline, Dan, Brian
Monday White Wolf: Jeremy, Leon, Dustin, Wayne, Caroline, Dan
Sunday D&D: Jeremy, Leon, Dan, Caroline, Amanda, Dustin

These are the other games

Thursday D&D (Wayne's game): John, Jeremy, Leon, Caroline, Dustin, Chuckles
Sunday D&D: Jeremy, Leon, Caroline, John, Brian

I would guess that these are all accurate, anyone that I missed?

Caroline--You didn't know what you were getting into until you were in the sewers, so you wouldn't be "vampire ready"... heh heh heh

Published by Anonymous on 6/24/2003 12:37:00 AM


John--I'm taking a level of fighter to get the extra feat and martial weapon proficiency (Cleric 7/Fighter 1). She's working on the 2nd lvl of fighter for 9th lvl, but likely won't go any higher than that. Restoration is a healing spell, technically. As such, will you allow spontaneous casting?

How much did my char know in advance about the thieves' guild problems? (Did she just arrive or has she already encountered vampires?) If she had any advance knowledge of vampires, she would have prepared (holy water, garlic, wands of detect undead/invisibility to undead, and scrolls of searing light). Depending on how much that invisibility to undead cloak was, she may have even gotten one of those. Makes a big difference for purchasing. :-)

Published by Anonymous on 6/22/2003 10:10:00 PM


Shatzer- I need a Yea or Nea on the following spells for your Monday game. Both are 3rd level. I included a real simple description of the spell.

From Relics and Rituals II:

Chains of Binding (pg96) - Summons 4 chains +1/3 lev. Chains spring from ground dealing 1d6 points per chain, and attempt to grapple the target if reflex failed.
Missle Storm (pg128) - One arrow becomes a cone of arrows, hits everyone in area who fails reflex.

Leon & Dan- Next time either of you get the chance, can you type up your "spells known" lists (or at least what part of it you're willing to share) for your Monday characters and either post 'em to the blog? I haven't had a chance to update my list with the spells. Leon, I know you just spent a signifigant amount of cash on spells recently- so I'd let you know in-character that I had planned on doing the same (if we live. Heh...) and offers to pay you back in trade with my new spells in the future.

My known spells (assuming the above are OK'ed.):

0th: All PHB

1st: Brilliant Arc, Charm Person, Exp. Retreat, Hypnotism, Mage Armor, Magic Missle, Message, Mount, Shield, Sleep, Spider Climb, Sumon Monster I, Tenser's Disk, Truestrike, Unseen Servant

2nd: (All 6 Ability Boosting Spells), Choke, Invisibility, Melf's Acid Arrow, Phantom's Howl, Rope Trick, Shocking Missle, Web, Weeping Fool

3rd: Haste, Missle Storm

Published by Anonymous on 6/21/2003 08:08:00 PM


Dan- It mentions on numerous occasions throughout "Masters of the Art" that coincidental use is simply is not possible with arch-spheres. Arch-spheres always "break the rules." The question is, just how badly...?

"Just living long enough to become an arch-mage generates Paradox you never loose. ... The use of arch-spheres alone racks up a large amount of Paradox, regardless of the subtlety with wich they are wielded."

Not that it matters much. They will not be coming up in-game... at least not in the hands of a PC, anyway..

3rd ed Mage Corebook,as previously mentioned.
Unfortunately, some of WW's downloadable char sheets are still 2nd ed.

This 3rd-party Mage larp bookhas some interesting stuff.

Jeremy--Can we use these larp rotes (with appropriate modifications for tabletop)?

Published by Anonymous on 6/21/2003 03:49:00 PM


JG - The book says that they can be done coincidentally...like using forces 7 in california to make an earthquake or life 7 to make a virus in the jungle and when isn't mind coincidental?

Published by Anonymous on 6/21/2003 02:16:00 PM


Dan - I love the Archspheres. Just invoking them pisses off reality. =) (And actually, it takes Prime (7) to re-direct your Paradox to another. Prime (6) just allows you to feed Quintessance directly into the Paradox, and nullifying it point-for-point. Unfortunately, when the two combine, they tend to explode. Matter/Anti-matter like. ;) )

The evil shape-changeging wizard Aku would have access to at least Time (8) to throw Jack forward in time. Aku used this powerful magic as an utter last resort, with the dangers of Paradox and all. But now that they are in the future, in the world that is Aku, all reality bends to him. He could crush Jack with a thought, but finds it far more amusing to play with the little man. Being a god gets boring after a while, y'know...

Dan - Yeah would like to get alook at that if you won't mind. let me know when I can get it from you......


John- Yes, David's chrarater is now wearing a jesters cap. Looking oh so pretty....... ha!HA!


Everyone - That will teach you to go in the woods near an amish farm. You get killed by a psycho killer or a arrow through the chest as a "hunting accident".

Published by Anonymous on 6/21/2003 10:39:00 AM


WD - I have the Web 2.0 source book if you're interested.

Mage interested - I also have the Lost Paths: Ali-Batin and Tafani, Cult of X, and Celestial Choir books. Oh yeah and the inferalists', orphans', and sorcs' books. Oh and the ST guide. And the book that has the archspheres (wheeee! I can litterally move a mountain and not even break a sweat! Now to use prime and make the paradox hit the guy who's been irritating me all chronical er week and I just have six dots in each) Fine in short I have most of the newer mage books. Let me know a subject and I'll seee if I have it.

JG - I'm not sure if all the trad. guide books out there are for this ed. since that's one of the things WW has benn revision happy on.

So do you think that Corey is right, I mean should we be worried?

ALAN
Not really. I mean you know Frankie. He loves to pull practical jokes.

CUT TO:

48. EXTERIOR OF WOODS ? FIGURE

Camera shows Alan and Tina from a short distance away. In the foreground is a view, from the rear, of the amish man. Alan and Tina?s conversation can be heard in the distance.

(tugging on Alan?s sleeve) Alan we need to go.

CUT TO:

Alan is that you?

CUT TO:

55. EXTERIOR OF FARMHOUSE ? TINA & AMISH MAN

The camera shows the rear profile of the amish man. Tina turns and looks up at him.

TINA

Jeremy G--Hmmm..... I'm pretty sure that a "backward" state like Pennsylvania frowns upon killing people. All other living creatures are ok, as long as you have a license and they are in season :)

Okay guys I don't know how cool that my game is going to be on Sunday. I'm not leaving Gettysburg till 7pm on Saturday, which puts me in Wooster around 2 or 3 am. So I shall be a bit sleep deprived (I can't go to sleep right away after driving, no matter how tired I am) and "tapped" out from a seven hour plus drive thru the mountains. I'll be there, in some condition.

Wayne- For those that don't have access to the books, I'll be posting the different traditions on the blog for people to look over. I'd like to have people decide ahead of time, because if certian traditions aren't filled by players, I'll need to fudge around with NPCs a bit. As for the actual traditions, I'm working on finding all the tradition guides on Kazaa... so hopefuly I can get you the Adept handbook. For now, just think "Hackers" or "TRON." =)

JG- I am looking at going with Virtual Adept for your game. Any places to go for more details on that specific tradition would be ok?

Dan - I'm still not exactly sure how I want to handle character creation, but the story hook I'm working on is going to demand a pretty high level. I'm thinking in the 4-6 area, so I'll probably be starting you at 5, with extra freebie points. If you spent em all on your Magic progression, you could probably pull off a 7, or maybe an 8 if you abuse yourself with flaws for extra points- but you'd be severely lacking everywhere else.

Which would you be more interested in- An original, honest-to-god Bally Pac-Man, with all original hardware, original boards, etc...

-or-

A Knock-off board with 21 different games, including Pac-Man. [Screenshot]

Either way, you're probably looking at around $600 bucks once everything is re-built, and a new monitor. You think you can talk the Ms. Shatz into lettin' you spend that kind of green, or should I jus' thank you for your interest, and build this thing to get the most money off e-bay?

Also I know that atleast for a brief stint thaum was the tremere crossing their eyes and the path happened but these days it obvious as casting in DnD which are you using?

CD - Uhm...far as I know Tremere CAN'T use anything that magics that are hermetic styled. The freakish styled thaum only occurs in Revised and then only in add on texts.

JG - Unless too many are lined up for your mage game may I join when it begins? And when does it begin or did you already tell me that?

Jeremy--*IC* Hmm... An orbital laser system. I hadn't considered that idea before, but I think it might just work... Then again, it would have a lot of problems. Stability, accuracy, vulgarity... Unless I could lure my target to a sci-fi convention... No, I'm afraid it's far too risky. Subtlety, must remember subtlety. I'll just mention it to that ethernaut instead and let him deal with the support systems. He'll likely want one to defend his precious ethership. *end IC*
How does creation of stuff work, aside from wonders and points in crafts? Related to resources or knowledge of Matter or...? I'm specifically asking about the items I'll be using for focii instead of the normal rotes. Any idea of the scaling of Arete yet? My book has characters starting out with Arete 1 and using freebies to add to it.

I don't have to regulate Ether gagets. They tend to regulate themselves.

You want to spend 7 dots on an orbital space lazer platform, that's cool. It's also cool the first time you botch the activation roll, causing the coolant system to fail and the satelite to go critical in a low Earth orbit, raining radioactive debris over half the planet.

Tee-hee.

Can I spend xp to get another level 1 ritual (Deflection of Wooden Doooooom!)? Otherwise, I'm prolly going to get Auspex 2 for 5 xp. Might as well be able to recognize the Garou at a distance.

Published by Anonymous on 6/14/2003 02:15:00 PM


Dan- Avatar Storm... whatever. Before the Antideluvians start waking up, the vampires go crazy, and a tactical nuke goes off in the Wraith world.

Or a more simplistic way of looking at things: shit on White Wolf's storyline- I'm just using their system.

And it's fine to be nosey. It's not like anything on this forum is intended as private. Aparently with Shatzer's starting of his Vampire game, there is more interest in another WoD campaign instead of the previously-mentioned Anime BESM. So I'm attempting to assemble the scatter fragments together into a somewhat respectable Mage campaign.

I remind you all, I say "attempting." Building a story, for me, is quite a difficult feat, ever since I lost my imagination. Ever since, creativity in general is quite difficult, and my dreams have stopped. So if it does happen, it'll be a while before we start...

See, my mind was ravaged by those damnedable fae some-time in my Jr. year of High School. Either that, or I have a tumor that's slowly destroying the right half of my brain. I prefer to blame it on the fae.

Shatz- I accept flaws and merits from any book. I'll have to approve them on a case-by-case basis, but I don't know of any of them off hand I wouldn't allow.
No limits on merits, but if anyone is powermonkey enough to buy more than 7pts of flaws, the freebies max at 7.

As for edition, I don't know. I think it's second. It's before the ascention storm and the "We need to sell more books..." saga.

Published by Anonymous on 6/10/2003 09:18:00 AM


Bwahaha...

(IC)- As a tactical review of last-night's mission, I think we did a good job. We're starting to take advantage of flanking positions more often, double and triple-teaming enemies when possible. Unfortunately, we're strongly magic-dependant, and we're going to have to camp down to re-charge, else we're going to have a few of us us out of spells and little more than dead weight- myself included.

Which means, we've accomplished nothing, except to kill a bunch of stray dogs. Only three of those undead beasts are destroyed. The rest are just going to get back up sometime in the next few hours and be right back on us. And now they all know we are here, and they know our fighting styles.

Published by Anonymous on 6/09/2003 11:11:00 PM


Shatzer- WoD Combat introduces weapon speed into the game. It effects your initiatives, and with more clumsy weapons, your attack roll. Certian weapons, such as the three-section-staff, also effect your movement, since you can't really run around and perform a lot of the weapon manuvers expected from such a weapon.

The Chain Saw: -1 Init -1 Attack STR+5 Damage. Not concealable. May also scare the bejesus out of things.

General polymorph ? (I'm going to ask Wayne too)--If I polymorph into a medium-size creature, my equipment "transforms to match the new form". Does that mean my weapons grow larger (i.e. larger damage die)?

John-Is advancement of paladin mounts allowed? I'm very interested in the couatl from the MM, but even with the 8 extra HD (17HD total), I think it might die quickly. If advancement isn't allowed, the phoenix, elder arrowhawk, or roc are the best mounts I've found so far. Would I need Leadership for any of those? Alternatively, could I apply the epic "paragon" template to one of the base paladin mount types (pegasus, hippogriff, griffin, lammasu, etc)?

Unless John rules otherwise, Cam vampires typically "know" (read: have been told very firmly) that the Sabbat is a bunch of devil-worshipping fearless crazy vampires. Crazier than Malks, more dangerous than Brujah/Gangrel, less trustworthy than Tremere... Except of course, when they're attacking; then they're harmless and it's perfectly fine to "Go get 'em!" Dunno what details we would know about Vicissitude, Obtenebration, etc.

Dustin--I may be a little late on Sunday.

Do we even know of the Sabat and then what they can do?

Weapon? Weapon? Who needs a stinking weapon?

Body armor now, that might be cool.

Methinks the gangrel claws "might" count as a weapon. *snickers* Again, any chance of getting a ride from someone?

Published by John on 6/05/2003 03:48:00 PM


See all you homeys in about 2 hours, ayight?

I wonder if I should call Jeremy to remind him that it is Thursday...

Published by John on 6/05/2003 03:48:00 PM


Yeah a glorified pocket knife at that :)

Published by Dr Who on 6/05/2003 03:44:00 PM


And to think the only weapon that was on any of the vampires was a knife.....

Jeremy--As long as you don't send the limo, with all the guns locked in the trunk, to a motel. Of course that is what happens when the Malkavian is in charge. Heh heh heh........

Well, I can't help much when it comes to combat. No melee, no brawl. Firearms - 4 will have to do. You fill 'em with enough lead, even a Vampire goes down.

CD - There's also the posibility that the bartender _was_ the mage, one instance of him (Fun with exsisting in more than one place at once), or a mind puppet of his. Also the bar was the contact not the mage I believe.

Three people had Dominate, and didn't think to use it. *snickers* There's also the factor that the bartender knew about vampires, and that the mage running the place prolly wouldn't have liked us messing with his employees (He defeated an entire tribe of garou who wanted their caern back). My char was dumb and thought that asking directly would be a bad idea, partly b/c John's NPC told us to ask the mage. Nice misinformation there, John. ;-)

Jeremy--Take Theft of Vitae? Twould be a good idea to have a Tremere who's decent in combat (unlike my char *snickers*)

Caroline - That's fine if she would like to come to the thursday game. Just need to fill her in on the basics about the character creation. LVL 4 anything but Psyoncs.

Damn. Not a one of you had Dominate? "Bartender, you will tell me everything I want to know..."

One roll of the dice, and he'd tell ya' if he wears women's underwear...

CD - You'd better make it clear that I was quite compitent in other areas...I actually got the bartender to tells us where next we needed to go.

Wayne and John--Meg may be playing in tomorrow's game (Th), since she's not playing in the next epic game (Father's Day).

Temporary lack of wheels, as I'm selling my car tomorrow, and getting a newer one in Columbus this weekend.

Published by John on 6/03/2003 04:50:00 PM


Sounds about right, so you are off "the hook".

Shatz- Like I said, I forgot. You know my work ethics... I'd have ditched responsibility in a second to go play games. ;)

Published by John on 6/03/2003 03:48:00 PM


Jeremy G--Working? You need to get your priorities straight :-P

Caroline--What happened to your wheels?

Published by Anonymous on 6/03/2003 02:44:00 PM


Can someone (coming from the north) give me a ride to the Th game? I can walk, but I'm lazy. :-)

JG-That's ok. You missed the hunters and the Gangrel and Brujah being incompetant (in terms of damage).

I figured out what I can do though. Use blood rage to buff other people quickly or make them heal themselves faster. *snickers* Dratted lack of high-level combat powers.

Uh. I was there. I was just Obfuscated the entire night. That's all...

Sorry. Was working all last night to fill an order, and completely forgot about the game. I didn't even go home till well after eight...

I hope that you guys had fun last night. For those of you who didn't show up last night, you suck hyena butt! See everyone on Thursday night.

Wayne--I am thinking of playing a Dwarven Cleric/Fighter. I would like to use the Rune Magics from the Bad Axe Dwarven sourcebook, I'll show you on Thursday.

Attention all player- As far as Alt thursday game, Rulings as follows.


Jeremy G.- Sent emial on subject, but just in case you don't get it, your suggestion is approved.


Caroline - You are allowed to start with the gold for the lvl that all players are starting at. You get lvl 4 gold. I must keep all things on even scale.


Dusty- Need to get with you before thursday to discuss something


Everyone- Please feel free to ask for things. I want to make sure that everyone gets a chance to play as a character that they want to play. Happy character building!!!!! :-)

I know that she went to bed already, so I'm leaving her a IM and email message with your contact info. Hopefully she'll leave you a message before her morning class (9:30) She'll most likely want the card in the early afternoon (for lunch).

Oh, and Jeremy, your blogger listed email on the Team page has a typo... (laumunebaba@yahoo.com) You may want to fix that sometime, or you could just rely on the rest of us to remember. ;-)

Published by Anonymous on 6/01/2003 10:00:00 PM


Caroline, if you pass a message onto your friend Meghan, it seems she left her notebook case here after the game. Or at least I'm guessing it's her bag. I thought at first it was Dan's (being he brought a laptop to the game, and all...) but found Meg's COW Card inside. Tends to give it away...

Although suppose it could still be Dan's, and he's just got some weird stalker thing going on that we didn't know about... ;)

E-mail, phone, or the blog, whatever's most convient.... (Lamune_Baba@Yahoo.com & (330)-201-4348)

Undead Ents Cool. Shadowbane (bane of my free time) online game actualy has them. Called something else (Dead Branch, IIRC)
but the intent is obvious and they look freaking cool.
