05:41:36 Nikitian has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:46:27 Nikitian: How are you guys? Everything all right here? :)
05:49:22 ER: should probably get around to updatting that forum game of mine, some time
05:55:58 Devastator: Looks like
PW did a turn for Saeko in Cabal.
05:56:04 Devastator: I'm too worried to actually read it yet. ;-p
05:56:25 Nikitian: Ohh. I know that feeling all too well. ^^'
05:56:43 ER: I somehow managed to no get killed yet.
05:57:10 ER: Basically purely because I called
PW out on using the wrong dice for me >.>
05:57:48 Devastator: I'm also worried he'll roll dex instead of speed for Thag in Chalice.
05:58:18 Devastator: Trying to successfully climb stuff should be based on the stat that deals with movement, not ranged attacks.
05:59:43 ER: I think he asked me why I wasn't summoning explosions inside people. I said because Dex is one of my bad stats. He told me that it would use will. So I decided to do that and caught him rolling my Dex for it.
06:00:12 Devastator: It probably would be Dex, but if he said it was Will, it should be Will.
06:00:27 Devastator: Well, if you're touching the target, Will.
06:00:35 Devastator: Dex and then Will if you're not.
06:02:34 Devastator: looks like some decent odds.
06:11:15 ER: So
Nikitian, when you you starting an RTD game of your own? :D
06:12:00 Nikitian: Would love to, but ran into some difficulties just a couple days ago
06:14:22 Nikitian: Problem is, I just have to overthink all the effects, drawn conclusions and potential reverbations, and it really slows game design down :3
06:14:51 Devastator: Yeah, and no more mana for me.
06:15:23 ER: not without killing your minions, but who cares about that?~
06:15:44 Devastator: I'm not doing that.
06:15:56 Nikitian: "If I use an RtD system for rolls, does that mean there is no strict causality? What does that mean on the cosmic scale?" and so on.
06:16:01 Devastator: That mosquito was pretty bold. It was trying to drain from my middle fingers?
06:16:43 Nikitian: Something magical and evil, I presume? :P
06:18:00 ER: boring goody two shoes Saeko
06:19:34 Devastator: Nanami? She'd probably zap the mounts with the 'grow spikes' spell.
06:20:30 Devastator: That would knock the riders off and make everything chaotic.
06:20:56 Devastator: Then probably do some illusions to confuse the fuck out of everyone and pick off the bugmen a couple at a time.
06:21:13 Devastator: The last few she'll probably try to subvert.
06:23:40 Nikitian: That's our Nanami all right~
06:23:59 Devastator: "Why serve your bug queen when I can make you feel goood.. ♥"
06:26:09 Devastator: Hmm, that did give me an idea. If these bugmen use tack, Saeko could probably dismount them through precise use of 'enlarge'.
06:30:02 Devastator: I mean, I was hoping for a little more prettification before going for cross-species romance, but if it'd help and be possible.. ;-p
06:36:45 Devastator: ..maybe she romanced that water spirit.
06:37:26 Devastator: It did kill itself to save her.
06:42:47 Nikitian: Or the water spirit just had an unfulfilled crush on her. Works even better with self-sacrifice.
06:43:36 Nikitian: (May it, wherever it might exist in its next life, find a partner more eager to reciprocate affection...)
06:44:19 Devastator: Hey, don't complain that Nanami doesn't put out. ;-p
06:44:42 Devastator: I think she spent two turns 'petting' it.
06:44:51 ER: it would probably be terrifying beyond words if she did
06:45:07 Devastator: Probably not at this moment.
06:45:17 Devastator: She's still close to human-shaped.
06:46:14 ER: you should become a drider for fun
06:49:05 Devastator: ..The faerie glamor will probably change her a good bit.
06:49:15 Devastator: any body changes should be demanded after I see what that does.
06:51:41 Devastator: well, a drider is a horror and a fae..
07:05:17 Devastator: so getting it on across species is terrifying beyond words.
07:05:27 Devastator: What if she gets it on with something incorporeal?
07:05:37 Devastator: Because why stop at 'across species?'
07:07:30 Devastator: Just wondering what would be worse than terrifying beyond words.
07:07:40 Devastator: you know, because there's always something beyond.
07:08:19 Devastator: Hmm.. what if she could do it with just her voice? ;-p
07:08:40 ER: getting it on with an infinite number of elder gods while feasting on the souls of everyone in the universe
07:11:46 Devastator: That seems too abstract for true horror.
07:11:54 Devastator: but consuming the entire universe, should be doable. ;-p
07:12:40 Devastator: Turn into an AI, convince a bunch of idiots to build a portal machine, move some worshippers out, kill everyone else.
07:14:59 Devastator: I think
NJW said Sand was in a small indian town that she was trying to manage for her overlord.
07:15:20 Devastator:
NJW also said Nanami has about 500 dedicated fans, so not that far off.
07:20:08 Nikitian: >terrifying beyond words - I thiiink my internal Wittgenstein requires me to forsake any attempts to describe with words something literally beyond words~ :P
07:20:18 Nikitian: ( "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." )
07:22:42 Devastator: Personally, if she's this powerful at 500 fans I'm worried when she has ~5000 fans.
07:23:43 ER: "If your FEEBLE MIND were able to FULLY COMPREHEND the true status of the situation, I would write a 10000 word poem describing in exacting detail the unprecidented horror with which you are faced. Instead, I must resort to BASER METHODS, such as metaphor, the word 'indiscribable', and cute pictures of kittens."
07:26:09 Devastator: If she's at that point with 5k fans the game is going to get broken the first time she appears on TV. ;-p
07:33:11 Devastator: You could also submit the [kittens] protocol so
NJW can handle such horrifying situations if they should occur.
07:33:55 ER: ...I hope he does not have to deploy the [kittens] for all of our sakes.
07:34:24 Devastator: I think [kittens] are going to happen at some point for someone.
07:35:02 Devastator: we already had invaders from beyond the stars, it's just that they showed up in giant robot form.
07:35:54 ER: everything is better with giant robots
07:36:10 Devastator: Might want to kill the slow creature if I ever find time.
07:36:13 Devastator: Be nice to have some clot action.
07:39:07 Nikitian: @[kittens] ... This idea reminds of when some movies replace the too horrible scenes with something happysunshine and merry tunes, like "And while our heroes are dismembering the still-alive villain as an example to others, here's some footage of kittens playing with a ball of yarn" :P
07:40:50 ER: The [kittens] are included in order to insure the health of the reader.
07:41:20 ER: In those cases in which information COULD be conveyed, but would be... harmful.
07:42:46 ER: For lesser truths, they are unnessesary. For Greater truths, they are unnessesary and the narrator is incapible of describing the truth in any way other than the one provided, despite any inaccuracy.
07:56:43 Nikitian has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
07:57:02 Nikitian has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:57:36 Nikitian has quit [Client Quit]
08:04:56 Devastator: anyway, enough chatting about a character who will never get updated again.
08:05:01 Devastator: What's up with you,
ER?
08:05:25 ER: stayin' up too late, as usual
08:17:37 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
19:38:00 Radio_Controlled has joined #einsteinianroulette
19:43:17 Radio_Controlled: Good evening you goose stepping swan.
20:14:11 Radio_Controlled: Decent. Still waiting for that confirmation email.
20:15:35 Radio_Controlled: Good cabal turn.
20:15:46 Radio_Controlled: Though fatigue is starting to set in.
20:16:57 Devastator: got some luck at last.
20:17:54 Radio_Controlled: Now kill the bug and make a sweater from its corpse!
20:19:06 Radio_Controlled: You just hollow it out and wear the carapace really.
20:21:56 Devastator: I already have d6 armour.
20:21:59 Devastator: and it wears like d4.
20:22:29 Radio_Controlled: But that won't strike terror into the hearts of bugpeople and regular people alike.
20:22:56 Devastator: That's for some other character.
20:24:09 Radio_Controlled: True, Abu isn't there.
20:25:31 Devastator: "It would probably be terrifying beyond words if she did." (
ER on Nanami putting out.) ;-p
20:27:24 Radio_Controlled: Still, there's tons of other bugmen still remaining. Wonder why they aren't doing anything right now.
20:28:57 Devastator: I don't know how many there actually are.
20:39:31 Devastator: Plus a few probably ran off with their captives already.
20:45:05 Devastator: But yeah, I think they have to surround the light.
20:46:44 Radio_Controlled: You'd think they would at least support their compatriot a bit by spitting some more of those barbs.
21:03:54 Devastator: Yeah, that would suck.
21:04:03 Devastator: Maybe those are poisioned.
21:04:09 Devastator: and maybe
PW doesn't want to just capture her.
21:08:19 Devastator: Oh, I won
syv's test game for John Wick vs Magical Girls.
21:08:36 Devastator: I would have lost, but
ER's MG ran away rather than pick up the easy kill for a win.
21:13:07 Devastator: I'd ask
PW about that, but he isn't here.
21:15:19 Devastator: I think
syv just wanted to run more quick MG combat.
21:28:27 Devastator: I am a little worried, though, because he said he ran away because his MG was down to the same amount of soul my MG has in Pumsey's.
21:30:41 Radio_Controlled: When and where was this test game?
21:31:08 Devastator: on IRC, a few days ago.
21:34:19 Devastator: Is
PW on his discord atm?
21:50:07 Radio_Controlled: I think so, yes.
21:51:14 Devastator: Can you ask him to come over? I'd like to ask some questions about Cabal, if he's not busy.
21:57:57 Radio_Controlled: I'll ring him up.
21:58:04 Radio_Controlled: Though I saw you were on the AVA discord.
21:58:09 Radio_Controlled: Can't you get on there?
21:58:52 Devastator: Saturday should be next day I can do that.
21:59:28 Radio_Controlled: 'can' => 'want to'
22:00:58 Devastator: I suppose the questions can wait until Saturady.
22:01:24 Radio_Controlled: Pinged him anyway, so we'll see.
22:01:57 Radio_Controlled: DIG is shaping up it seems.
22:02:04 Radio_Controlled: Getting hype.
22:02:18 Devastator: I don't know, I'm in a bunch of games now.
22:02:34 Devastator: What did you like so much about Dig?
22:07:31 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
22:07:46 Devastator: Go tell
RC about how your little girl ran like a little girl.
22:09:15 Radio_Controlled: Some excellent roleplaying I see.
22:09:23 ER: So that I could hunt you down months later
22:10:08 ER: I'llbe wearing a different body. you won't recognise me. :3
22:10:36 Devastator: (JW develops a magical girl detector.)
22:10:56 Devastator: Really, though, you had him dead after that last explosion if you were anywhere near him.
22:10:57 Radio_Controlled: What would you even detect?
22:11:22 Radio_Controlled: This is John Wick, not Tony bloody Stark.
22:11:43 Devastator: Eh, he had a whole support crew.
22:11:50 Devastator: I'm sure someone would know how to do that.
22:12:22 Radio_Controlled: That's awfully convenient.
22:13:07 Devastator: Yeah, but he's got months.
22:13:18 Devastator: Tomorrow, now that might be a problem.
22:13:56 Devastator:
Syv said that he didn't know the girls powersets, but he had information on what kinds of powers they could have.
22:15:32 Devastator: Wearing a different body? You had a Cre character?
22:18:50 Radio_Controlled: There were lots of things I liked about DIG,
dev, but here's the brief version of what I gave to
PW on the topic some time ago: "The setting, building stuff, the potential for character progression and shaping ourselves from a rag tag group of idiots into a rag tag groups of idiots powerful enough to hold cities hostage."
22:30:14 Radio_Controlled: You seemed to like it as well if I remember.
22:30:28 Radio_Controlled: If only for shooting
syv in the face :p
22:30:32 Devastator: To be honest, not really.
22:30:43 Devastator: I was mostly there to keep it moving for you and
syv.
22:31:23 Radio_Controlled: But what about wormbaby?
22:31:40 Radio_Controlled: You would have been a great dad I'm sure. p
22:32:51 Devastator: If by 'great dad' you mean abusing it by giving it artifacts clearly intended for other people.
22:33:35 Radio_Controlled: W-what else would I mean?
22:34:30 Radio_Controlled: Don't shout at such an hour of day,sheesh.
22:35:57 Devastator: And making sure the guy who had a class built around riding such giant worms doesn't get the one I have.
22:36:40 Radio_Controlled: "I enjoyed the game by being an ass to others."
22:37:01 Devastator: As I said, it was mostly to keep things moving for you and
syv.
22:37:28 Radio_Controlled: I do wonder if I'll go for another diver this time though.
22:38:01 Radio_Controlled: Diving was fun, and seems like it'll be interesting this time around as well, but I also like tinkering...
22:39:08 Devastator: I never got to mustache you.
22:40:08 Devastator: I'm also trying and failing to remember a time where the robot antimagic protection actually worked.
22:40:51 Piecewise has joined #einsteinianroulette
22:41:44 Piecewise: I've been told I am needed
22:41:47 Devastator: Just wondering about the situation Saeko is in. Considering doing stuff like trying to hold out until morning, say.
22:41:57 Radio_Controlled: I don't think robot resistance to magic ever came up?
22:42:09 Piecewise: Its not a bad choice. There's not long till dawn
22:42:18 Devastator: Also wondering if there's like five bugmen to four people, or fifty bugmen to four people.
22:42:38 Piecewise: you are very outnumbered
22:42:47 Piecewise: but they mostly seem to keep circling
22:42:51 Piecewise: they haven't come in together
22:43:05 Radio_Controlled: You'd think they would help their wounded buddy.
22:44:03 Devastator: Ok, that means picking off individuals isn't a big deal, it probably won't help much.
22:44:29 Radio_Controlled: Told ya, should have stolen that bugmount.
22:44:35 Radio_Controlled: Ride around in style.
22:44:42 Radio_Controlled: For a little while.
22:44:47 Devastator: Yeah, I don't think that seems likely.
22:45:07 Devastator: Probably a more difficult ride roll for me than for the bugmen, and they have more people to roll for pursuit.
22:45:25 Devastator: Probably going to have my orders stand as written, then, and next turn I'll try for another giant fire on the other side.
22:46:09 Piecewise: You and
ER are having opposite lives
22:46:28 Piecewise: You fail, but succeed enough to survive, he succeeds but fails enough to make it fun
22:46:46 Radio_Controlled: I kind of wish Pan was there with a filled thaumic flamethrower.
22:46:57 Piecewise: Kinda wish pan was anywhere
22:47:05 Radio_Controlled: "pest control, you said?"
22:47:22 Devastator: Saeko's had decent luck overall.
22:47:24 Radio_Controlled: He should be returning about now-ish, if I heard him correctly.
22:47:28 Devastator: Just a few pretty terrible turns there.
22:47:48 Radio_Controlled: I should see him tomorrow, I'll remind him.
22:48:01 Devastator: Also,
PW, are you up for watching Dark Souls 3 on Friday?
22:48:57 Devastator:
ER thought the explosion attack would be suicide, for the record.
22:49:30 Radio_Controlled: He smooth talked himself into rolling will instead of speed or str, the scoundrel.
22:51:44 Devastator: Oh, thinking of that, is it a speed roll to navigate across the giant wolf-thing in Chalice?
22:53:11 Radio_Controlled: I appreciate that you gave Abu an excuse to shoot everything he sees in the unreal.
22:54:01 Radio_Controlled: "Why am I shooting those things? Well, maybe those things have magic words in them. And they might make for good hats!"
22:54:04 Devastator: So long as the ammo holds out.
22:54:22 Piecewise: I'd have to look at the stats for that game~
22:54:34 Radio_Controlled: Just gotta cast 'many' on current ammo.
22:54:45 Devastator: so long as the words hold out.
22:54:54 Devastator: Nope, and that round is gone to.
22:55:15 Devastator: Hmm, thought it was speed, because dex is for ranged attacks and speed is for movement.
22:55:18 Devastator: I'll go around if it's dex.
22:55:37 Radio_Controlled: C'mon, live a little.
22:56:10 Devastator: Come on, Thag has killed armed people with a rock before.
22:56:16 Devastator: If that isn't living a little, I don't know what is.
22:57:03 Piecewise:
Dev: Fuck this magic, Imma hit people with a stick
22:57:32 Devastator: Well, Thag's done plenty of magic.
22:57:38 ER: I wanna hit people with a stick USING the magic
22:57:47 Radio_Controlled: Back when the caveman schtick was still relevant.
22:57:49 Devastator: Takes a turn to cast a spell, takes a turn to hit someone, so it's pretty even.
22:57:50 Piecewise: This magic wand is a club
22:57:54 Radio_Controlled: Good days, long gone.
22:58:20 Devastator: Thag cut his pants off to get out of that iron, so he's probably half naked at this point.
22:58:29 Devastator: That caveman enough?
22:58:36 Piecewise: Only the half that matters
22:58:57 Radio_Controlled: Reverse Conan costume.
22:59:35 Piecewise: We're gonna crucify a tree on him
23:00:00 Radio_Controlled: That tree had it coming.
23:00:10 Radio_Controlled: Arrogant plant.
23:00:25 Devastator: ..that's probably how it would go, thanks to that lovely d10 str.
23:00:32 Devastator: He did punch through a wall, after all.
23:00:49 Devastator: And Oz is busy trying to reinforce the one he was trying to break down.
23:01:11 Devastator: (enchant wall with Blast Wall.)
23:01:26 Radio_Controlled:
PW I think all people present should be getting a penalty to dex as long as
dev isn't wearing pants.
23:02:25 Devastator: no ranged attacks, eh?
23:02:47 Devastator: I think it's a buff to awareness, actually, because it's obvious what's coming.
23:03:02 Radio_Controlled: Yeah, but you gotta avert your eyes.
23:03:05 Radio_Controlled: So that evens out.
23:06:25 Devastator: He could just use the blast wall word to replace the missing floor, but he seems to think the word involves explosions.
23:13:22 Devastator: What's the big deal?
23:15:12 Piecewise: Hmm I better put these fucking Races into the game
23:15:23 Devastator: It seems like a pretty boring page.
23:15:28 Piecewise: so we can start getting racist
23:15:39 Devastator: (No, seriously, what's special about this page?)
23:16:37 ER: you're reading Seeker of Thrones 10-140, right?
23:17:10 Piecewise: A person he doesn't know walked up and grabbed a gun
23:17:13 ER: If so, I'll give you a hint: the girl covered in blood and carrying a gun isn't Alison, which is what I first assumed.
23:17:20 Piecewise: Also, aren't these people all super demons?
23:17:29 Piecewise: why they care about boolet
23:17:37 Radio_Controlled: So are you going for the multiple player races for DIG then?
23:17:40 Devastator: No, that's the other chick who lost an arm earlier.
23:17:48 Devastator: What's the big deal?
23:18:02 ER: "Hi-caliber puresilver, my duckies."
23:18:05 Piecewise: Multiple player races. Cross your fingers that I'm not bad
23:18:14 Devastator: It's just standard 'hero comes in at the last moment to save the day.'
23:18:21 Piecewise: So demons are afraid of mercury?
23:18:27 Piecewise: There's mercury in this god realm?
23:18:28 Devastator: You know, because otherwise a main character will have to actually do something.
23:18:30 Radio_Controlled: I'll order a new batch of nerf batons.
23:18:32 Piecewise: Who are these people
23:20:00 Devastator: Of course demons are afraid of mercury, it is the only metal without a defined form and it has a changeable nature. Demons, being permanent creations from the dawn of time, are eternally afraid of such things. ;-p
23:21:17 Devastator: Can't someone make up some gibberish these days?
23:21:40 Radio_Controlled: NO FUN ALLOWED!
23:22:46 ER: yup, none of you have ANY taste. Is sad but not unexpected. :D
23:23:50 Devastator: Well, it's the catgirl from earlier.
23:24:00 Devastator: Another cameo who isn't allowed to die..
23:25:00 Devastator: Yeah she is. Fan designed characters are cameos.
23:25:20 Radio_Controlled: Define cameo.
23:25:36 Devastator: Isn't this whole group fan designed characters except for Ally and Cio?
23:26:44 Devastator: Leprechaun is probably going to show up next.
23:27:12 Radio_Controlled: Capture him for gold.
23:28:48 ER: All the Devils introduced for the heist were submitted. Oscar wasn't, because he's a very old character who predates the current form of the webcomic, and Felicia wasn't, because she's human.
23:29:49 Devastator: Well, that means that cameos can die.
23:29:56 Devastator: but they're still incapable of affecting the plot.
23:31:12 Radio_Controlled: I'm off to bed.
23:31:22 Radio_Controlled: G'night you daredevils.
23:34:53 ER: I mean, for a thing like this he's made an outline for the entire plot already, and he asked for submissions just before when they would be introduced, so I wouldn't expect any dramatic plot changes.
23:35:23 ER: Honestly, you wouldn't see any problem with any of these characters if they weren't submissions.
23:35:35 Devastator: Which is a common reason for me not liking them, as they can't do anything meaningful, just slow the plot down and provide me with more redundant characters to remember.
23:36:11 Devastator: Yeah, if they weren't submissions I might think something interesting would happen while they're on panel.
23:38:10 Devastator: I hear that you're working on Dig 2,
Piecewise.
23:39:25 Devastator: Dunno if I'll play, it's an exploration game which sounds interesting, but I'm in a bunch right now.
23:42:17 Devastator: What are the main differences?
23:43:09 Devastator: You know, I wonder if Dig would do well with the basic Shadowrun Wound/Damage mechanic.
23:43:28 Devastator: Weapons basically have two stats, amount of damage done, and difficulty in resisting said damage.
23:44:09 Devastator: Players have 10 HP, and use their body ability to resist damage, not to be able to take more damage.
23:58:44 Devastator: Not much to say, although that magic system is intimidating. Should be pretty balanced.
