John--As written, the "Use Magic Device" skill would let me use a clerical wand, if the check is successful. Still true in your world? Let me know sometime before the next Mon D&D game (so I know whether to dump more pts into it). *makes contingencies for when the death god or the alarm clock decides to take Dustin's char away*

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.

I wonder if anyone should remind Jeremy that it is Monday :)

John-- :-P

Caroline--eh?

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)?

Well I had fun last night being all dwarfy. I can't believe that we actually get to play Dustin's game on Sunday, yipee!

You know of the Sabbat, and that they are bad. You don't know details.

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?

just go learn vicissitude, leon. i'm sure john will let you and that it will go over well with the rest of the group. ;-)

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?

See all you homeys in about 2 hours, ayight?

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

Yeah a glorified pocket knife at that :)

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).

Jeremy--That is Morris Day and the motherfucking time to you

"We modeled our entire life on Morris Day and Jerome, I'm smoooooth pimp daddy and he's my black man servant."

snoogins...

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

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. ;)

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

Caroline--What happened to your wheels?

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...

Jeremy G--Yes, senior hyena butt licker, it is Tuesday...

Oh... hey... look at that. It's Tuesday...

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. ;-)

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.

hmm... undead Ents... that's an interesting idea :-) I'm not sure how else the forest could become undead... *speaking as player, not character*. Anyhow, the character wouldn't really care if the Ents did become undead. Either the Ents were threatening us (and thus deserve their fate), or they wouldn't be anywhere near the party.

::Under his breath:: Gee... if a little fire bothers her this much, she's going to freak when entire forests become "Undead."

Yes, fire IS good for a forest, but not all the time. There has to be enough time for the forest to grow back. Fire is always good for civilized areas. ;-)

All--Werewolf and Changeling corebooks http://www.fasit.com/quiddity/ww/

JS - Never did get a ruling on that intelligent item? Hope you see this before Sunday

But fire is GOOD for a forest. It burns out all the dead growth and makes room for new. It's a rebirth thing. You should be all for it... ;)

Anything (good fairies, pixies, unicorns, mobile plants, dangerous animals that pass the saves on my spells) that threatens us is fair game and deserves death. *evil grin* The forest itself will not try to kill us. Why not stick to burning the civilized areas? I'll help!

What if it was a good forest. Full of pixies, faries, and unicorns, that is okay to kill. Come on work with me here. heh heh heh heh.....

Sure, let's go at it. Your weasel has how many HP again? 13? More seriously, if the nature burning continues, the character will either get herself/bear killed in a fight or leave the party (depending on the strength of the opposition).

Wayne--My decision on playing a pixie depends partly on the starting gold. If the char gets no starting gold (as not a 1st-lvl char), then no. First level, probably. 4th-lvl gold, definitely. Yay for having 10 HP!

"...snickty snickty snickty..." is dire weasel for "...you my beyatch..."

*getting down with my bad self* Thanks for the beat.

"Or else what, you will run away :-P"

Mwahahaha...!

C'mon.... my Dire Weasil versus her bear, straight-up, any day.



"I feel like dancing...... Can I get a techno beat from someone?"

Loop it in style...

(Save As... and download to play. Aparently my web host doesn't like MP3's....)

I feel like dancing...... Can I get a techno beat from someone?

Jeremy--Oops....hey I'm new at this :)

Or else what, you will run away :-P

Burning/looting towns, farmland, the general populace, fine. Burning forests, not fine. Don't do that. Or else.

::The priest yells from the back of the wagon:: Pillage BEFORE you burn!!

Now I think that it is a totally reasonable response to burn someone when they flip me off :)

Caroline--Next time we are in the city I"m going to buy your Druid a dictionary. That way you can look up looting & pillaging. Heh heh heh, killing the enemy is cool and burning down their forests is cool!

John, worse? Never... Especially not in an evil game. ;-) Hey, Jeremy, can we sack another town tonight?

Which probably means he's figured out something worse...

Jeremy G--No puppet show, I promise...

JG- I believe it's jermey's game tonight

All - the thursday alt game is now closed.

Who's game tonight?

Well I still haven't found the 2nd ed PDF for Vampire yet. I"m still looking. See everyone tonight.

Ah, Klaus Kinski... the perfect "Character Pic" for my vampire... ;)



From Kinski Paganini... the story of a violinist so good, he was said to be able to bring women to orgasm simply with his music.

My hero...

Caroline--You are actually from Canton.

Since Dan isn't playing in the Th games, that knocks the # down to 10 (with Matt). Unless Dan suddenly changed his mind?
John--For the vampire game, are we Kindred newly arrived in Wooster or Kindred newly embraced in Wooster?

If Matt wants to play in my game thats cool.that closes my game at 9 people, I hope i wont disapoint any of the new people.

http://users.bestweb.net/~wjbodin3/vampire/
This has 3rd ed Vampire pdfs that are moderately useful, but not entirely accurate. Read for flavor and less for rules.

http://lxs.sdf-eu.org/stf/chargen.pdf
http://lxs.sdf-eu.org/stf/vtmmf.pdf
Not sure what ed these are based on, but they're very useful. Ignore the paths!

http://www.republika.pl/gangrel_clan/gangrel_clan/download/Vampire%20-%20The%20Masquerade%20-%202nd%20Players%20Handbook.pdf
This is the 2nd ed Vampire Players' Handbook. It would be a lot more useful if it were a corebook...

I have found some useful 2nd ed PDF files, now I just need to get them in...

Well it is up to the individual gamemasters. Like I said my Sunday game and my Monday game are closed.

Just an FYI for planning purposes: Meg and Amanda will only be here until the end of June. I'm for closing the games after Matt; we have way too many people as it is.

I believed we talked about your Sunday game, possibly Dustin's, and Thursday?

Player Lists:

Sunday (my game): Dan, Leon, Jeremy G, Jeremy F, Dustin, Caroline, Meg, & Amanda.

Total players: 8, maybe 9 if Matt joins. My Sunday game is closed.

Sunday (Dustin's game): Leon, Jeremy G, Jeremy F, Caroline, Meg, Amanda, myself, & Brian.

Total players: 8, maybe 9 if Dustin is nice and lets Matt play. I recommend that we close the game.

Monday: Dan, Leon, Jeremey G, Jeremy F, Dustin, Brian, Caroline, Wayne. & David.

Total players: 9, maybe 10 if Matt is joining. The Monday game is closed.

Thursday: Dan, Leon, Jeremy G, Dustin, Caroline, David, Meg, Amanda, myself, & the other gamemaster. To the Thursday gamemasters my friend Matt would like to join.

Total players: 10, maybe 11 if Matt can join. I would recommend closing the Thursday game.


Conclusion: Wow we have a lot of players. I think that we should close all the games, I'm closing mine. I wouldn't "freak" out about the game sizes. Meg, Amanda, Dan, & Caroline are also most likely gone at the end of the summer (bummer guys). Plus as we have seen recently with summer and family activities it wouldn't be surprising if we have players missing from many of the games. Just thought I would show everyone this.

Everybody please welcome Meg and Amanda to the Blog, their invites went out this morning.

Matt--Well I didn't check the blog until today, sorry. What game(s) were you planning on joining?

John, can you bring the players handbook and such tomorrow so I can start working up the characters we discussed?

John- Can i get an idea of what lvl to make my character?

Wayne--Of course there is an opening on Monday, it will be groovy. We can talk when I get there.

FYI everybody we are gaming on Monday, woo hoo!

*in-character* Right.... Have you even seen them, let alone heard the stories I've head about them? They're trying to fight against Marcus, and actually being successful; so they could kill us all w/o breaking a sweat. We have them to "thank" *makes face* for the survival of Greyhawk; we were very lucky that whatever it was happened before we came out of the maze. And how much better than you is that high-level goblin? Squeaky, I think his name is... Go ahead and loot Greyhawk if you want, but don't expect us to rescue your ass from those "good people" and the authorities. *very carefully doesn't watch you leave if you do* Now if they do leave... Sure thing!

"JG-Yeah, great way to get the attention of the epic party! ;-) "

Pfft. You sloppy amatures, maybe. ;)

Caroline-thx for the info on the monday game. As far as races good, You can use any of the races in the phb if you go outside that just let me know about anything special about the race that you are picking. Also, if your friends are going to be there, you can relay the info to them.


Leon- I'll be there monday. You can get a hold of me then about the pally.


The rest of the party- Time for roll call. Players check in.

JG-Yeah, great way to get the attention of the epic party! ;-) How went mame-ing the cabinet?

Time to loot the remains of Greyhawk. Woohoo!

Wayne--Your game-Hmm... maybe fighter... or rogue. I still haven't had a rogue that didn't die off in a few sessions. *snickers* Any restrictions on PHB races?

John won't be back until vlate tonight or Monday. No clue whether/when you could start, but hopefully, he won't grumble at me for giving you background info. We're at 7th lvl now, so he may allow that or keep it down to 6th. No gnomes, dwarves, half-orcs. No arcane necromancy (and preferably little divine). and eee-vil... so no paladins. We've got a bard (me), cleric/fighter (Dustin), druid (JF), rogue/wizard (JG), wizard (Leon), sorceror (Dave), weird arcane thingy (Dan). Imo, what we could use is a straight fighter or cleric, but we've got the classes generally covered. Oh, and one little thing, we just returned to the city of "total civilian death" that the epic good game failed to prevent. Whee! Again, get his permission before you do much of anything.

Wayne: Paladin, but I need to talk to you about a possible multiclass.

Attention All- For Alt. Thursday, Starting at level 4. Good alignment. Keep it simple. IF going multiclass or something not main stream, post to let me know. I hope that you all will enjoy the game.. Also, I need a roll call of what everybody is picking as far as class. Thank you......



John- Was wondering if there was an opening on your Monday GAme? IF yes, Let me know what lvl Character I need to roll up and any other restrictions on the game.

Erick said, It is ok to play at the shop on Sunday, however, I am having some issues with whith some personal matters, I will not be availble Sunday or Possible Monday. Thanks and have a good break.

JG-G'luck with your stuff. Hey, you'll still be gaming, in a way... ;-)

Eric--hopefully you're paying attention to the blog... Are you ok with having a Sunday afternoon game at the comic shop? Maybe we'll actually play a game this week... lol

Which it won't be. You wanna' game this weekend, I'd suggest the comic shop. Sorry...

Marcon, y'know, the Columbus convention that John's been gushing over? Slightly less than Origins, but not much. I know some other people going to it...

Group--Thoughts on where we're playing this Sunday if JG's place isn't available?

Marcon? *blink*

Grumble, mutter, grumble

Shatzer you bastich!

Marcon is going to rule the hizhouze!

John--No, I'm not. :-P I was trying to figure out where else we could play, and making sure everyone else realized that we needed to figure some place out. *bing* John is now in the Friday time zone and is at Marcon, having missed the Th game. Have fun this weekend.

The caster level on the Belt of Bull's Strength is what, 3rd...? 3x a day = 9 hours. Neat. Summoning a dragon mount, good, bad? Are there any good dragons left? Would Marcus immediately seize control over it? Not that I can do that until my next feat anyhow...

Dustin--Depending on how much we get for selling the minor stuff, my belt of Str +6 should be available. (Although a donation would be nice, your char does kinda owe mine 30,000g. She'd never bring it up though.)

Dustin--Gee take everything already.

Caroline--Now I know you aren't asking Jeremy to let you use his place while he is at work. I mean that would be very uncool.

Is it Friday yet?

If no one els objects, I would Like to lay claim on the Brass Knuckles, Periphat, and the belt of Bulls strength.

Jeremy--How will your work affect using your place for the Sunday game? Do we need to find an alternate location?

I'll let everyone know ahead of time, I probably won't make it to the Thursday game. Sunday *might* be scratched as well. Depends on how much work I can get done on this cabinet before then. It -has- to ship Monday.

I've also decided to drop my phone line altogether and pick up a cell. I figure I can get away with it for as little as I actually use a phone, and save close to $300 a year while doing so.

My new number is: (330) 201-4348. I figure I'll have to carry my phone number around in my wallet for a good six months or so before I manage to put it to memory. =) I'm calling to unhook the house phone Friday, so update your records.

It's a hide 15 + change self at will (still look normal to allies).

Although I just found out that I can keep it (epic ch item is a cloak, not a robe), I'm 90% likely to give it to Squeaky since it's more useful to him. The cloak only costs 10,000gp , if he doesn't want to exploit the paladin's generosity ;-) . The Ch 6 cloak is still open, Jeremy (or anyone else).

Robe of Blending does what again? Sounds like a Hide bonus. Good for the squeakster.
