00:48:52 syv: You know, that actually sounds kinda interesting.
00:49:15 syv: Play as a god who's starving after the vast majority of its followers were wiped out by a supernatural plauge.
00:50:01 syv: Faith is lacking after such a disaster, and the god's powers are strongly diminished by the many deaths, so it can't do much.
00:50:19 syv: In practice, I doubt it'd make for a good game, but it sounds kinda neat.

01:18:58 er: I mean, supernatural plague could easily be a thing you have to deal with in death plane

01:26:48 parisbre56: You could have literal zombie gods. like how in dragon age: origins the old gods have been corrupted by blight and become archdemons
01:28:02 parisbre56: say that zombie gods retain some of their trails but are much more aggressive and focused on converting others
01:28:42 parisbre56: could be part of some evil God's scheme that went terribly right
01:29:11 parisbre56 is now known as parisbre56[Away]
01:29:18 syv: Mm. I think I'd prefer it to be a one-god deal, lonely.
01:29:44 syv: Or if there are multiple gods, direct communication is very difficult due to the dead-worshippers thing
01:30:24 syv: Maybe you can mostly only tell what the other gods are doing via observed effects, which are by nature subtle and difficult to interpret.

01:44:07 er: How am I supposed to stat an NPC when I know exactly what he's about to be rolling?
01:46:46 syv: Alternatively, reasonably.
01:47:50 syv: "Would this guy be familiar with X skill? If no, -1. Would this guy be expected to be professional at this skill? +2. Would this guy have to do this skill with any kind of regularity? If so +1."
01:48:56 syv: Stats I'd probably suggest just rolling 1d4 and giving him -1 to +2 for all of them. Maybe keep only one +2, because NPC.

02:15:09 syv: ...Yeah, yeah it kinda works.
02:15:36 syv: This should be added to a mod, but every time the music slows down Gwyn gets faster.
02:23:28 ER: you know, I really don't feel like I'm paying attention to this turn
02:23:59 ER: there's too much text in this guy
syv's action, and my brain doesn't want to read it
02:34:23 syv: The entire action can be effectively summed up in one vauge three-word sentence. "You distract him."
02:35:24 syv: I suppose the "then dogpile him" would require a few words, but you could still do it in one sentence.
02:36:13 syv: Heh, the Vallhalla song has gunweeb memes in the comments.
02:43:24 syv: All "fuck it, why not?" I presume.
02:43:36 syv: I really need to add more to the mall ninja gun generstor.
02:45:43 syv: They missed an opportunity on the PS90's... art. A few inches forward and it'd look like casings were coming from under her skirt.
03:47:09 ER: you know, the P90 is ideal shape for slapping a poster or ad on it
03:55:22 ER: progress 0%, I'm going to bed. tomorrow~
03:59:11 syv: Hrm. You're right, which makes it kind've a pity that I tend to prefer the flat tacticool appeal of an unadorned gun. If only I liked colorful designs, maybe I'd put some kinda post on *my* PS90.
03:59:26 syv: Though knowing me, it'd just be an image of a different gun.
04:00:59 syv: "Why do you have a picture of an SVD on your PS90's stock...?" "Well, I have a picture of a P90 on my SVD's stock, so it only seemed suitable."

04:43:15 Devastator: those cabal orders ok?
04:45:24 syv: I'll have to look at them.
04:48:02 Devastator: suggesting using 'human' to interrogate the corpse.
04:49:11 syv: Yeah, that's fine, i might as well just use that as my own boldtext.
04:51:52 Devastator: Speak with Dead, baby.
04:51:55 Devastator: the dead never lie.
04:52:01 Devastator: although those fucking jackasses changed that.
04:52:10 syv: You know, that isn't true either.
04:52:33 syv: Yeah, makes sense, why would it be an effective strategy to kill someone then ask their GHOST?
04:52:45 syv: Why would people be more honest when you have less power over them?
04:53:47 Devastator: because you have more power over their spirits with the spell.
04:54:37 Devastator: why not? You have a spell that lets you force answers out of spirits.
04:54:48 syv: Why would it be easier to control an unattached spirit that's already left for its destined plane, instead of just controlling a living soul that's bound to a body?
04:54:54 Devastator: there are similar spells for living people.
04:55:00 Devastator: also, the dead do get a saving throw.
04:56:00 syv: Ahhh, so it's actually "the dead never lie after failing a saving throw"
04:57:45 Devastator: well, if they pass the throw, you don't get to ask any questions.
04:58:40 syv: Are there no easier spells which just let you contact the dead, without any mind control?
04:59:05 Devastator: yeah, but that one lets things lie.
04:59:18 syv: I feel like "let me speak with my dead loved one" would be a way more common desire than "let me interrogate this dead bastard" anyway.
04:59:25 Devastator: but it can find something that knows what you want to know, instead of being restiricted to that corpse.
04:59:38 syv: Well if there's easier spells which let the dead lie, it ain't true that the dead never lie, now is it?
05:00:35 Devastator: yeah, but that one doesn't contact the dead guy right there, just some other thing that may not be a dead guy.
05:01:34 syv: But also may be a dead guy. Which may then lie.
05:04:17 Devastator: It's just the phrase associated with Speak with Dead.
05:04:20 Devastator: "The dead never lie."
05:16:48 Devastator: also, nothing from whisperling.
05:16:52 Devastator: guess PMing didn't do anythign.
05:18:37 syv: By any chance, might you be on his ignore list?
05:18:58 Devastator: No, you get notified of that.
05:19:10 Devastator: plus I got an intro, and then nothing from first set of orders.
05:20:35 syv: Oh, you get notified of it?
05:20:44 Devastator: yeah, found that out once.
05:20:59 Devastator: a couple years after leng blocked me, she demanded I PM her.
05:21:10 Devastator: then I found out what happens when you PM someone who has you blocked.
05:21:33 syv: Oh, only upon sending the PM?
05:27:31 Devastator: you get a red message saying something like 'this user has you blocked'
05:28:15 syv: When are we watching Apoc Now?
05:29:46 Devastator: maybe this weekend.
05:29:49 Devastator: after
ER's done work.
05:30:43 Devastator: you know, I bet Pumsy makes no reaction to wolf-form alida at all. It'll just be the same as always with him.
05:31:07 MidJag: I will be very busy this weekend.
05:34:36 syv: Well, I'm back to being mostly free whenever.

05:39:48 syv: Tomorrow's... prolly good.
05:39:51 MidJag: Uhhh, that should work?
05:39:54 Devastator: should be back sooner than tonight.
05:40:11 syv: Hey, a triple "ehhh maybe?" combo!
05:50:57 syv:
DEVASTATOR!
MIDJAG! COME BACK AND YOUR IRC!
05:55:56 MidJag: I have 8AM's Thursday so I would perfer earlier
05:56:54 syv: 2030 for us is 1930 for you, right?
05:57:27 MidJag: That sounds about right
05:57:48 MidJag: Yeah, I can do that time
05:58:07 syv: Also, psh, I have to go to an 0900 appointment today, in eight hours. And I sleep like twice as much as you!
06:02:14 MidJag: I think that's an oxymoron
06:02:52 er: Though maybe ferrous memento oy works on people who are still alive?
06:04:31 er: "You look into dead man's mind. There's nothing there, because he's dead. "
06:08:27 syv: Yeah, but if it doesn't, that's info! Gotta test it at some point, and since otherwise I'd need a very fresh corpse, might as well test it on a corpse whose memories would be of immense value.
06:08:46 er: FMD's setting is a bit weird regarding souls and death. Or at least, it seems odd to me and I'm the one who came up with it.
06:12:58 er: You know, I do but feel like I'm about to sleep, so laptop time again.
