| 00:45 | < Ceddo> | Heya Em. |
| 00:46 | < locas> | yo |
| 00:46 | < Ceddo> | I wanna share something with you. |
| 00:46 | < Ceddo> | Because I am actually quite proud of my progress. |
| 00:47 | < locas> | gif |
| 00:47 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/mfzcondensedpgs1-12.pdf |
| 00:47 | < locas> | geef |
| 00:47 | < locas> | prty |
| 00:48 | < locas> | are the big grey things there for examples? |
| 00:48 | < Ceddo> | Those are areas were there will be art later. |
| 00:48 | < Ceddo> | It's obviously easier to block out an area than to produce art for it. |
| 00:48 | < locas> | ah |
| 00:48 | < locas> | yeah |
| 00:48 | < Ceddo> | So I made those block-outs and gave them to my drawfriend. |
| 00:50 | < Shades_Corvid> | welcome locas and nice Ceddo |
| 00:54 | < Ceddo> | It's pretty much a work in progress. |
| 00:54 | < Ceddo> | Started with this today, from the pure text document. |
| 00:54 | < Ceddo> | But, yeah. I made it about page 13/14. |
| 00:54 | < Ceddo> | So that's pretty decent. |
| 00:56 | < Shades_Corvid> | So this set is a frigate in a box, essentially. |
| 00:56 | < Ceddo> | Which oneĆ |
| 00:57 | < Shades_Corvid> | Star Wars Microfighter Millennium Falcon |
| 00:59 | < Ceddo> | Kind of, yeah. |
| 00:59 | < Ceddo> | I have one sitting here and was thinking the same thing. |
| 00:59 | < Ceddo> | But then I had other things on my mind and dropped that. :D |
| 01:00 | < Shades_Corvid> | Yeah, I would toss something into the seat to fill it in but you could use the Sat Dish has a yellow and each missille as some kind of weapon system, I was thinking double split point/assault |
| 01:01 | < Shades_Corvid> | arg, looks like my browers has crapped out and I needed to restart or something. BRB |

| 03:45 | | * mraichelson gets all hopped up on caffeine and runs around in circles |
| 03:54 | < addking> | I felt that way last night. I was cranking out SSC builds for some friends who got Mixels bags. Didn't get much forum love, but -shrug- ;) |
| 03:55 | < addking> | To be fair SSC's are super exciting usually. |
| 03:55 | < mraichelson> | i saw the krader one, liked how that one came out. |
| 03:56 | < mraichelson> | i havenāt been real impressed with those ball joints most of the time. |
| 03:56 | < addking> | Those cragster bags suck. there's no SNOT pieces |
| 03:57 | < mraichelson> | the first couple i opened i was like, i should try toā¦no, this is badā¦letās not take pictures or ever speak of this to anyoneā¦ever. |
| 03:57 | < addking> | The Zaptor ones I actually really liked. XGundem5's Hawket is really nice. |
| 04:03 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-rg9mk7.ma.comcast.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 04:03 | < addking> | I found I did a lot better when I just got rid of as many pieces as I could. Adding pieces to 'fix' something is easier than removing them later for me. |
| 04:06 | | Mantisking_ [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-rg9mk7.ma.comcast.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 04:07 | < Mantisking_> | I'm hoping to get some building in this weekend. |
| 04:07 | < addking> | Got any sets/parts or pieces in mind for it Mantis? |
| 04:09 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-rg9mk7.ma.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 04:11 | < Mantisking_> | I've got a stack of stuff I need to review. |
| 04:11 | < Mantisking_> | Three polybag sets I've taken most of the pictures for. |
| 04:15 | < Mantisking_> | I'm also hoping to crack open some Kre-O sets. |
| 04:19 | < addking> | I keeping seeing Kre-o stuff on sale, I just can't do it. I spent hours tossing MegaBlox outta a garage sale bin I bought. I kept like 2 pieces that Lego didn't have, the rest went to the trash. |
| 04:22 | < Mantisking_> | Heh. |
| 04:22 | < addking> | I do like those gunbarrel looking 1x1 cylinders tho. |
| 04:22 | < Mantisking_> | There's a bunch more fun stuff. |
| 04:23 | < Mantisking_> | They have a 1x1 round plate with studs on both sides. |
| 04:23 | < addking> | Yeah I can see that being useful. I kept those megablox 2x2 plates with studs on both sides. |
| 04:24 | < Mantisking_> | I should put together a blog post of all the unique to Kre-O pieces. |
| 04:28 | < Mantisking_> | Visited a new comic book store today. |
| 04:35 | < addking> | Did you set-up a game with that dude in the area? |
| 04:36 | < Mantisking_> | Nothing yet. The weekend we were going to try for was jammed at the game shop we were going to use. |
| 04:36 | < addking> | New comic book store? that's pretty rare, they are doing as well as record and book stores these days in general. |
| 04:37 | < addking> | That said, I play at Comic Book store every Monday. Not MFZ but other games - D&D regular group and boardgames and stuff. We do play MFZ there on occasion too |
| 04:37 | < Mantisking_> | Yeah. We just had a chain record/comic/novelty store shut down a branch store today. |
| 04:38 | < addking> | Yeah my friend is the owner and one of my MFZ players is a partial owner. |
| 04:38 | < Mantisking_> | That's cool. |
| 04:38 | < addking> | I know they aren't in danger of closing but they aren't making a killing y'know? |
| 04:39 | < addking> | I used to work/run a local indie record store. |
| 04:39 | < addking> | We close the physical store sadly after 31 years. |
| 04:39 | < Mantisking_> | The times they are a changin'. |
| 04:40 | < Mantisking_> | We've had a number of places like that close. |
| 04:42 | < Mantisking_> | It's always a shame when they do. |
| 04:43 | < addking> | Yup. Hurts the local music scene too. |
| 04:46 | < addking> | On the plus side our local scene has an all -ages venue that is doing well. They even host a boardgame night twice a month. |
| 05:02 | < Mantisking_> | That's cool. |

| 08:01 | < Soren> | Ooof. |
| 08:05 | < Bed23Ric> | That's what I'm saying. |
| 08:05 | < Bed23Ric> | Morning. |
| 08:05 | | Bed23Ric is now known as Ced23Ric |
| 08:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren ? |
| 08:06 | < Soren> | yeeeeeeees? |
| 08:06 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/mfzcondensedpgs1-14noart.pdf |
| 08:16 | < addking> | morning gents. |
| 08:16 | < Soren> | morning. |
| 08:30 | < Ced23Ric> | Aww. No comment? |
| 08:31 | < Ced23Ric> | Morning! |
| 08:41 | < Soren> | Sorry, got distracted by email. |
| 08:41 | | locas [Signy@Nightstar-ns190i.res.rr.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 08:42 | < Ced23Ric> | Fair enough. |
| 08:42 | < Soren> | I think the brushed-metal texture on the cover should go, but I like the layout otherwise. |
| 08:42 | < Soren> | The restructuring definitely makes it easier to find information |
| 08:43 | < addking> | This is 2 pages wide right? |
| 08:43 | < addking> | Or is it one page wide, but printed front and back? |
| 08:43 | < Ced23Ric> | It's DIN A4 paper, and meant to be read 2 pages wide, yes. |
| 08:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Like any D&D RPG book, for example. |
| 08:43 | < Ced23Ric> | The insides have those 3 panel images. |
| 08:44 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren: For the cover, just make it a flat grey instead? |
| 08:44 | < Soren> | Iād remove the border and just go with a flat white. |
| 08:44 | < Ced23Ric> | Admittedly, when I started out I had no elements but the grey on the canvas, which looked really empty. Now that there ARE elements, it might actually be fine. |
| 08:44 | < Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
| 08:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Lemme see. |
| 08:45 | < Ced23Ric> | *loads Photoshop...* |
| 08:45 | < Soren> | Ah, for the dice symbols, I would use grays instead of red. |
| 08:45 | < Ced23Ric> | I was debating on that, because I like my reds, but I do have greys in my palette aswell. |
| 08:46 | < Soren> | It clashes, and for the weapons systems itās hard to tell what shape the dice are. |
| 08:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Probably a bit of a bitch for the weapons. Yeah. |
| 08:46 | < Soren> | You can keep the red bar at the top. |
| 08:46 | < Soren> | The seems like a good compromise. |
| 08:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 08:48 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/coverpagepreview_sm.png |
| 08:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Like that? |
| 08:48 | < Soren> | Yeah. |
| 08:49 | < addking> | I can see where you were going with the grey and spiral like edge - like the 3.0 d&d cover. that semi-realistic look. This is cleaner tho. |
| 08:51 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. Cleaner may be better there. |
| 08:58 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/greytables.png |
| 08:58 | < Ced23Ric> | So, more like this, eh Soren? |
| 08:58 | < Soren> | Yeah. |
| 08:59 | < Soren> | Much easier on the eyes. |
| 08:59 | < Ced23Ric> | Yupp. |
| 08:59 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, that was constructive and quick. |
| 08:59 | < Ced23Ric> | Thanks! |
| 08:59 | < Ced23Ric> | Can't wait to have the actual art there. |
| 09:14 | < Soren> | Mm. |
| 09:14 | < Soren> | Well. Iām going to try to get a good nightās sleep. I will probbaly fail and be back, but I have to make the effort. |
| 09:14 | < Ced23Ric> | You rest well then. |
| 09:14 | < Soren> | probably* |
| 09:14 | < Ced23Ric> | Crossing my fingers. |
| 09:14 | | Soren is now known as Soren[away] |
| 09:15 | < Soren[away]> | OUR awful neighbors have left, though, so Iām optimistic. |
| 09:20 | < addking> | Let's see, Midnight-ish for Soren, it's 4 am for me, Ced, you're in Germany right? |
| 09:20 | < Ced23Ric> | It's 10:20am and I am about to have brunch with the roomies, then vote for my government, the go on a bike tour! |
| 09:21 | < addking> | sounds like a pleasant day. |
| 09:21 | < addking> | other than maybe the wait to vote. |
| 09:21 | < Ced23Ric> | Nah, no long wait at all. |
| 09:21 | < Ced23Ric> | Our voting system is quite efficient. Maybe 5 minutes, tops. |
| 09:22 | < addking> | I think I'm generally in line about 20-30 mins. voting itself is 5-10 |
| 09:22 | < Ced23Ric> | That's a bitch. |
| 09:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Nah, we really just kinda stop by on our way out. |
| 09:22 | < addking> | unless you catch a break time wise. |
| 09:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Bike tour out to a derelict chemical plant. |
| 09:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Take some robbits with me. |
| 09:22 | < Ced23Ric> | And then, take some nature shots with frames in the wild. :D |
| 09:23 | < addking> | lol. That's cool. |
| 09:23 | < addking> | Where I live I could the post-apoc battle ground city shots, but I dunno if I would safe parking for long |
| 09:23 | < Ced23Ric> | Also, my concept artist asked for some wide shots for inspiration. |
| 09:23 | < Ced23Ric> | So those will happen, too. |
| 09:23 | < Ced23Ric> | Hahaha. |
| 09:23 | < Ced23Ric> | Detroit? ;) |
| 09:23 | < addking> | Flint |
| 09:24 | < addking> | Detriot is very much the same. Saginaw north of us is getting there. |
| 09:24 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh boy. |
| 09:25 | < addking> | I'm about 45 mins to hour north of Detriot, I've done work in D-town in the past. |
| 09:25 | < Ced23Ric> | I dunno. |
| 09:25 | < Ced23Ric> | Sounds like such a sad story for a city. |
| 09:25 | < Ced23Ric> | I mean, Motor City and all. |
| 09:26 | < addking> | Corporate greed and terrible stewardship gov't wise. |
| 09:27 | < addking> | I live in a place where picturing a colony cut off from the former Solar Union isn't hard ;) |
| 09:27 | < addking> | they took our jobs! |
| 09:27 | < addking> | Lol. |
| 09:27 | < Ced23Ric> | Lol. Harsh. |
| 09:28 | < addking> | It is pretty crazy to watch the cities unravel tho. Our public radio was just talking about a state wide poll suggesting 17% of people here don't want to live here now. |
| 09:29 | < addking> | Some of the 'building decay porn' from Detriot is pretty cool tho. |
| 09:30 | < addking> | well, i should try and crash myself, my sleep schedule is toasted. |
| 09:30 | < addking> | Have fun man. |
