| 02:58 | < Mantisking> | Board Game Geek is SUCH a waste of time. |
| 02:59 | < Shades_Corvid> | I have only been on it like twice and it just seems like one really bad forum. |
| 03:00 | < Mantisking> | They have some fucked up moderating policy where they let random members decide on certain postings and I got turned down again on something I posted. |
| 03:01 | < Mantisking> | And I'm the only one posting to the MFZ forums over there with any regularity! |
| 03:03 | < Shades_Corvid> | Like I said, board game geek just looks confusing to me and we have a nice shiny forum over here *points to the hangar* |
| 03:03 | < Mantisking> | I know. |
| 03:05 | < Shades_Corvid> | Of course getting the word out is important too. |
| 03:07 | < aimforthetop> | The Hangar really is the center of the community, it's gotta be fixed. But we all know that. |
| 03:09 | < Shades_Corvid> | Sleepy is coming... off to bed. |

| 04:13 | < aimforthetop> | That works! |
| 04:15 | < aimforthetop> | I've never seen that technic piece with the t-bar before. Is it only in blue? |
| 04:16 | < Mantisking> | As far as I know, yes. |

| 20:25 | < MittenNinja> | SHADES |
| 20:25 | < MittenNinja> | whats up pman |
| 20:28 | < Shades_Corvid> | Nothing much, just chilling. Just got back in from running some errands. Most likely work on some role playing stuff here in a little bit. |
| 20:28 | < MittenNinja> | Nice |
| 20:29 | < MittenNinja> | I finished submitting all my company donations this morning |
| 20:29 | < MittenNinja> | now im just chillin |
| 20:29 | < MittenNinja> | that is until i have to go to work in about three hours |
| 20:33 | < Shades_Corvid> | then Orion 6 is your blog then? |
| 20:35 | < MittenNinja> | yessir |
| 20:35 | < Shades_Corvid> | Very nice |
| 20:36 | < MittenNinja> | Thanks |
| 20:36 | < Shades_Corvid> | I fiound the four legged squad very tempting. If it wasn't for the fact I bought a bunch of the MHCs poly bags I most likely would try to buy them. Hoping some scenery stuff gets added to the charity though. |
| 20:37 | < MittenNinja> | For sure |
| 20:37 | < MittenNinja> | Pretty much all the terrain I have currently is just rock spires or basic bircks |
| 20:38 | < MittenNinja> | And those log bricks are pretty common at lego pick a brick walls |
| 20:38 | < Shades_Corvid> | Looks like there is a 'full size' set for the MHC now that might be a good set for parts, I think it meets the golden ratio. Currently I just have walls, lego trees and the lego friend trees. I think I have the stuff to make a cool temple though. |
| 20:39 | < MittenNinja> | nice |
| 20:39 | < MittenNinja> | Terrain and stations are a couple things I need to get more of |
| 20:40 | < Shades_Corvid> | I have to make some before the demo, so far I only have one. Stations that is. |
| 20:40 | < MittenNinja> | I'm looking at building a really big ruined temple type structure that can be setup in multiple formations |
| 20:40 | < Shades_Corvid> | That be cool |
| 20:40 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 20:42 | < MittenNinja> | Depending on how many people you'll be demoing for, and the type of environment, it may not be worth running full skirmish games |
| 20:42 | < Shades_Corvid> | I was looking through Target and spotted the full size MHC and was like, "That looks like the MHC polybag" then read the box and was like, "Oh". The model itself looks really nice, it would be a shame to tear it down if you actually built it. |
| 20:42 | < Shades_Corvid> | What do you mean? |
| 20:42 | < MittenNinja> | I found after demoing at the first Denver Comiccon that with the large amount of foot traffic going by it was easier to just have a quick little combat encounter with a handful of frames so that you can go over the cover mechanics and such |
| 20:43 | < MittenNinja> | just set up 2 frames that you control and a couple for the person you're demoing for to control |
| 20:43 | < MittenNinja> | go over a round or two of actions |
| 20:43 | < MittenNinja> | that way you can show more people what the game is like and people dont have to commit to a 1 hour game |
| 20:43 | < MittenNinja> | then you're also not resetting the whole table multiple times |
| 20:44 | < MittenNinja> | dont bother with setup rules or socoring and asset values |
| 20:44 | < MittenNinja> | just go over the combat mechanics and show people how friggin cool it is that theres a tabletop game made out of lego |
| 20:44 | < MittenNinja> | that will get people interested |
| 20:46 | < MittenNinja> | but if there isnt a lot of foot traffic, then get a handful of people and setup a game |
| 20:46 | < Shades_Corvid> | That is not bad at all, though I at least like to end the day with a game if I can. It just a small gaming store. I think there will be a MtG tourney going on. I still think it be a good way to start then go to an actaully game. |
| 20:47 | < MittenNinja> | For sure |
| 20:50 | < Shades_Corvid> | Ever play portal? |
| 20:50 | < MittenNinja> | yep |
| 20:50 | < MittenNinja> | its been ages |
| 20:50 | < MittenNinja> | but yes |
| 20:51 | < Shades_Corvid> | Have you seen the amazing GlaDos cosplay by Enayla? |
| 20:52 | < MittenNinja> | i have not |
| 20:52 | < Shades_Corvid> | http://elliria.deviantart.com/art/GLaDOS-Oh-it-s-YOU-401746675 |
| 20:54 | < MittenNinja> | thats pretty friggin sweet |
| 20:55 | < Shades_Corvid> | If it wasn't for the interview I saw I wouldn't even believe someone is in that. |
| 20:55 | < MittenNinja> | no kidding |
| 21:04 | < Shades_Corvid> | Time to open Hero Lab |
| 21:05 | < Shades_Corvid> | hmm, wonder if a Army Builder would be worth while for MFZ |
| 21:05 | < MittenNinja> | what game are you playing? |
| 21:05 | < MittenNinja> | i doubt it |
| 21:05 | < Shades_Corvid> | I agree |
| 21:05 | < MittenNinja> | considering the most frames you can ever bring is 8 |
| 21:05 | < MittenNinja> | and thats a 2 player battle |
| 21:05 | < Shades_Corvid> | It was just one of those pop in thoughts. |
| 21:05 | < MittenNinja> | yeah\ |
| 21:06 | < Shades_Corvid> | I have Pathfinder Society tommorow and then Rise of the Runelords Adventure path I am running on Monday. |
| 21:07 | < MittenNinja> | nice |
| 21:07 | < MittenNinja> | i havent played any dnd/pathfinder in quite awhile |
| 21:07 | < MittenNinja> | While I really like the setting that Pathfinder has created, I'm not too fond of the system |
| 21:08 | < Shades_Corvid> | Looking forward to seeing my Tengue Rogue at level two. Sneak attack with a great sword baby. |
| 21:08 | < MittenNinja> | ha |
| 21:08 | < Shades_Corvid> | It better then 3.5 |
| 21:08 | < MittenNinja> | eh |
| 21:08 | < MittenNinja> | its not worse |
| 21:08 | < MittenNinja> | part of what i really enjoy about dnd is the unbalanced quirkiness of it |
| 21:09 | < MittenNinja> | crazy shit is supposed to happen |
| 21:09 | < MittenNinja> | the more balanced you make it, the less crazy shit happens |
| 21:10 | < Shades_Corvid> | I have cut my teeth on 3.5 and oWoD. I like balance but I find players can make crazy shit happen. |
| 21:11 | < MittenNinja> | Balance is a good DM, not a reworked ruleset |
| 21:11 | < MittenNinja> | my two cents |
| 21:14 | < MittenNinja> | But regardless, its still a good system |
| 21:14 | < MittenNinja> | Im actually really impressed with what they're doing with 5th ed |
| 21:17 | < Shades_Corvid> | I think it makes it harder for there to be even GMs at all, just saying. Always more players then GMs. I haven't looked at since the 4th failed in my opion but the rumor mill, what little I have happen to pick up, sounds like they are learning from Pathfinder's lessons. |
| 21:17 | < MittenNinja> | 4th is great if you're playing beer and pretzels dungeon crawling dnd |
| 21:17 | < MittenNinja> | if you enjoy plot, story, and character development at all, its horrible |
| 21:20 | < Shades_Corvid> | Well those elements are more on the GM and the players but...it doesn't help. I have played fourth and would do again if with people that are fun. At the end of the day it about the people you are playing with, not the game it self but it does help. |
| 21:21 | < MittenNinja> | agreed |
| 21:21 | < MittenNinja> | having a system that encourages good roleplay is a huge help though |
| 21:21 | < MittenNinja> | Id rather not fight the system Im plaiying with |
| 21:21 | < MittenNinja> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/akyz8sn3uvgyr5q/080213_DnD_Next_Playtest_Packet.zip |
| 21:21 | < MittenNinja> | theres a link to the 5th edition playtest packet |
| 21:22 | < Shades_Corvid> | I use Hero Points in my game, tends to help in both crazy and role playing at times. The fumble and crit decks are fun. |
| 21:23 | < MittenNinja> | I actually introduced the fate point system into 5th ed |
| 21:23 | < MittenNinja> | works out really nicely |
| 21:24 | < MittenNinja> | fate is a great system too imo |
| 21:27 | < Shades_Corvid> | never tried it |
| 21:27 | < MittenNinja> | ever heard of deadlands? |
| 21:27 | < Shades_Corvid> | of course |
| 21:28 | < MittenNinja> | it uses the fate system |
| 21:28 | < Shades_Corvid> | my girlfriend has played it, the originial. Love the concept of it |
| 21:28 | < MittenNinja> | yeah its pretty darn cool |
