06:03:35 syv: Just woke up, which you are entirely lucky for. No clue why I didn't keep sleeping for another five hours.
06:03:48 syv: Heya
dev. Decent enough. Tired. Been busy.
06:04:00 Devastator: Well, you could pretend we missed each other if you need the sleep.
06:04:05 Devastator: I don't have anything urgent.
06:05:10 syv: Nah. I wouldn't have started checking threads if I were just gonna go back to sleep right away.
06:05:21 syv: What's up? Just checking in?
06:05:48 Devastator: For the most part. Wanted to see if you were ok.
06:06:05 Devastator: Also, talked to
paris while I was in discord hell.
06:06:12 Devastator:
Paris is still quite interested in PS.
06:07:32 syv: Mm. Maybe I should jam him in the next Labyrinth, in Asha's slot. Wasn't going to, for reasons of seeing if fewer people makes it easier to update, but no, just having Alida & Tooru is precisely as difficult to update for as all five.
06:07:59 Devastator: Oh? I thought you had some doubts as to his interest.
06:09:16 syv: I did have some doubts, the "of course he is.." was a slightly sarcastic annoyed observance. You know me, always doubting people actually liking my work. :P
06:10:50 Devastator: So are we going to make it? I'm regretting not adding 'close the door if I'm the last one through' to my orders.
06:10:58 Devastator: but I'll leave those to lie.
06:11:37 syv: Ah, haven't rolled for it, but y'all should unless there's something extenuating that comes up.
06:12:12 syv: Will prolly roll for Alida & Tooru, since you two are a bit far and not as fast, but it'd be a very easy roll.
06:12:36 syv: Want me to roll it out now and answer?
06:13:04 Devastator: t'would be a shame to die after all this, but so it goes.
06:13:58 Devastator: well,
ER struck it rich in Cabal.
06:14:30 syv: Is
ER not still with
RC&P?
06:14:32 Devastator: explosions is a really good word for dealing AoE damage.
06:14:42 Devastator: No, he's in an entirely different part of the world.
06:14:50 Devastator: I don't know where he is, he's stuck in someone's mansion.
06:15:10 syv: Sounds like a problem that explosions can solve.
06:15:25 syv: Honestly, most problems can be solved by explosions when you have 123 mana,
06:16:05 Devastator: well, he burned 70 of that on stat points.
06:16:08 Devastator: Still, plenty left over.
06:17:10 syv: Yeah. Certainly nothing to sneeze at, considering the most expensive reasonably usable spell is d20.
06:17:48 syv: Though it is a *little* sad that he didn't opt to just start repeatedly trying a d100 "explode the capital" until he rolled low enough to succeed.
06:17:55 Devastator: Also, I'm dissapointed in giant catbird. It means
PW just rolls on a more dangerous encounter table rather than reducing the risk of intercity travel.
06:18:05 Devastator: It costs you the roll in mana even if you fail by 80 points.
06:18:53 syv: Yes, but with 123 you've got a fair chance to just be able to keep trying. Not a great one, but c'mon. A d100 should be a map-altering nuke!
06:19:10 syv: And that encounter table thing sounds very
Piecewise tbh.
06:19:24 Devastator: Yeah, could probably do that.
06:19:45 syv: He's a big fan of enemy difficulty scaling with your power.
06:20:16 Devastator: I'm only pursuing poiwer in that game so that it's sufficient for solving the challenges I'm facing.
06:20:46 syv: Need to get yourself week allies, then.
06:21:33 syv: Oh. Before I forget, when are you gonna be home for real?
06:21:46 Devastator: I am home for real.
06:21:53 syv: Think you said before but I didn't write it down. >.>
06:22:11 Devastator: Yeah. I was just off for a few days.
06:22:42 syv: Mm. Okay. Gonna be around Thursday?
06:24:11 Devastator: Something happening?
06:26:08 syv:
MJ said he might have free time to do something then. Was gonna see if I could wrangle
ER into running an IRC game, he came up with a neat little modification to his Ocean system that sounded fun.
06:27:13 syv: Don't know though.
MJ had a bunch of tests lately and fell behind in studying because he got sick, and has taken pains to say that he might still not end up with the time.
06:27:42 syv: And
ER can be busy too. Or, hell, I could, never know.
06:33:56 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:37:05 ER: trying a d100 explosion once and failing it is probably enough to attract attention, tbh.
06:38:07 Devastator: or if it works, Mr. Holocaust might show up.
06:38:46 syv: Or drop a d100 explosion on your head as a counter attack.
06:39:17 ER: my GM asked me to build my cat druid character, so I'm going to actually do that.
06:39:32 Devastator: Have your animal companion be of the same species as yourself.
06:39:38 syv: This is relevant to my interests!
06:40:50 ER: Think I'll circle of the moon and dip three levels into rogue for fun.
06:40:58 syv: Aww jeez. Suddenly very tempted to dive into 5e to learn the rules so I can help munchkin that. I'm just gonna decide that it'd be rude to offer uncolicited help there, so I don't end up wasting a bunch of time on it.
06:42:09 syv: Do write down your build and stuff, please. If I ever join a 5e game in the future, I'll be awfully likely to ask about that build.
06:43:00 Devastator: There's not too much to munchkin.
06:43:10 syv: Though I think with D&D 5e mechanics, Dar'yajira would be best replicated by some kind of Paladin/Rogue multiclass more than a true druid build.
06:43:26 Devastator: It's pretty good that way, a lot more difference on the player level than the character level.
06:43:51 syv: Like half the point of D&D is having a bunch of stuff to munchkin.
06:43:54 ER: going for wildshape fun, which Dar didn't really do anyway.
06:43:55 Devastator: I'm comparing to 3.5...
06:44:01 Devastator: like way less than that.
06:44:17 syv: Everything is way less munchkinnable than 3.5e.
06:44:24 ER: I'll strap a shield ans scimitar to my back and wildshape into an ape. :P
06:45:07 syv: Aww. That's disappointing. I know druids are best with wild shape, but it kinda defeats the point of playing a cat if you're always turning into not-a-cat.
06:45:23 Devastator: be a cat that turns into a bigger cat.
06:45:41 ER: monster manual has a giant ape which is sadly too high CR for a druid to ever wildshape as :(
06:45:42 Devastator: There any pixie-cats?
06:45:44 syv: Shapeshift into a dullahan ape, rip off your own head and dual wield it with the scimitar.
06:46:08 syv: Get dual-wielding feats, so you can bite attack as your offhand weapon.
06:46:28 ER: I'm *pretty* sure that wild shape doesn't let me become an undead~
06:49:17 syv: Dullahan's don't have to be undead. Just gotta have different physiology. Very very different physiology.
06:50:15 syv: If your DM is a fan of Sekiro you could ask for him to allow a homebrew race, where there's a headless ape that lives in symbiosis with a monster than looks like a severed head. Make your animal companion the head-creature, and wild shape into the headless ape, and bam.
06:53:12 Devastator: wildshape into the head-creature with the animal companion being a headless ape?
06:57:14 syv: Wild shape into a jumping spider, and then use those rogue levels to sneak attack people for massive damage anyway.
06:58:01 syv: A cat, turning into a jumping spider so that it can backstab people for massive damage?
06:58:34 Devastator: nah, do a scorpion.

08:01:27 syv: Did you expect me to update at four in the morning?
08:01:32 syv: I'm always late, not early.
08:02:11 ER: a wizard always arrives exactly when he intends to
08:25:02 ER: I'll try to attend to Vessel and hope that none of my players inexplicibly disintegrated.
08:29:38 ER: next I'll go reboot P&P again
08:29:59 syv: If you do, I'll have to revive Narcissus yet again.
08:30:07 syv: Because Jeez he was always fun to play.
08:30:53 ER: maybe just make it about hunting things and beating up other mechs and call it Blood Core.
08:31:32 ER: yeah with the s or whatever I guess?
08:32:01 ER: honestly not sure how to pull off that pun but whatever~
08:32:16 syv: "BLOOD CORPSE! IT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU KILL THE BLUUUUD!"
08:35:41 syv: I accidentally hit the sequence of buttons to open multi-window view, then immediately accidentally hit the button to "Close all other windows", which purges half my browser tabs.
08:36:43 ER: this is why you use bookmarks for what they're intended for and tabs for what they're intended for~
08:37:19 syv: I'd have too many bookmarks, then.
08:37:48 ER: have you tried being interested in less stuff
08:37:53 syv: Pretty sure I can recall the processes used to find all those tabs anyway. Only a couple were being used as temp bookmarks, and I know what they were.

09:01:44 syv: Pity demongame didn't survive. It was absolutely my kind of thing.
09:02:05 Devastator: which game was that?
09:02:15 ER: really wasn't sure how to make it work.
09:02:31 syv: Ahh, if only I could just clone myself five or so times, I'd have the perfect group of people to play an adversarial scheming game with.
09:02:53 Devastator: Well, you could play it with me.
09:03:11 Devastator: Except you'd run away screaming like in Chalice.
09:03:16 syv: Demongame was the one where three players had characters infected by otherworldly demons, which would grant them powers in return for kiling humans and doing things for them.
09:03:29 Devastator: Didn't happen, sadly.
09:03:34 syv: The demons were players posting in a thread, for all three players.
09:03:57 syv: So basically a combination suggestion game/single player adventure game.
09:30:24 syv: I hate Long War rocketeers.
09:31:36 ER: how will you kill everything if not with a hail of rockets, though?
09:32:23 syv: Also, snipers and gunners.
09:32:29 syv: I LOVE snipers and gunners.
09:32:50 syv: Suppress everything and pick them off with precise shots.
09:55:18 ER: one of the species of thing in Ocean is a tetrahedral thing with four tentacles. Rather than a brain, it has a really well developed psy organ surrounded by a little bit of neural matter, and it uses its tentacles to focus that psy energy and hijack the brains of other animals in order to think.
