I don't see why we don't use the office. Cuesta's spring break isn't till April anyways.
Dark Talon
Alright, sweet! I have spring break now, but i'm not going anywhere
Poit-Narf
I'm not going anywhere either...

Well, actually, I'm hopefully going to be moving soon. But you guys won't notice any difference. nyahnyah.gif

tom, 2 things. I vote for Dark Matters Rising, and also the bounty for vampires is only 5000 nuyen, so i'll pay double that for them to implant me with deltaware.
Dark Talon
I vote for some secrets should stay lost, and my vote counts twice cause I'm speaking for mitch nyahnyah.gif

Also, 5k nuyen? Sweet! That's 2 anchored bullets! Where do I send the vampire?
merashin
no, it is about 1.7 anchored bullets, and i think that garrett would not let me be turned in, because i am a good learning experience for magical study.

Somebody pick a number from 1-10, please. Also, I have some questions with getting anchored bullets, now that I read the rules. First, how the hell can we activate them without getting ourselves getting effected by the spell trigger? Second, what spells can be anchored? Anything black hole equivalent?
merashin
how man times do i have to say, that we have it set to trigger when someone else's aura touches it, ours is basically programmed in as a don't explode on user. 6
merashin
tom, for my free spirit back up character would you be willing to let me turn of my energy aura power if i chose it.

Edit: Nevermind

I choose Dark Matter rising

I have no idea what either of those are.
merashin
i think that we are not supposed to, and are just supposed to choose by whichever has the more interesting name
Poit-Narf
Well, my favorite D&D adventure was called "That Which Was Not Meant to be Known", and "Some Secrets Should Stay Lost" sounds similar, so I pick that one. nyahnyah.gif
Dark Talon
bwhahaha 3 - 2 Some Secrets Should Stay Lost

Oh, god I just saw the trailer for the Live Action Dragon Ball movie. I didn't even know it was dragon ball until they showed the title. Somebody shoot me please! /sarcasm

Zech and Rad still have votes to deliver

Epic Topic this topic started out with a cool video based on half life 2, and just got more epic

Capsule rounds containing chemicals that erases memories would do better actually. God damn the trailer and movie sucks beyond my wildest nightmare. I mean, it Uwe Boll grade sucks. /end rant. Anyway, I might be able to play over skype this friday, if the equipment I borrowing from my dad works.

Unfortunitly, Laes is only good for about 8 hours worth of erasure.

Once I get the karma from the character questions I sent you, I'll have enough to spare to learn some sort of memory-altering spell.
Poit-Narf
Oh, by the way, I'm moving on Saturday, to a place much closer to work. This means...

1. I'll be less tired when we play late, since I'll be staying up later on work nights.
2. I should (hopefully) have a better internet connection
3. This Friday, I'm going to be intermittently unavailable, as I finish up packing. I should still be around, but I'll likely disappear frequently.

Anybody on right now? I want to check if I can play on skype this friday.
Bjørn
This is your driver speaking, i finally was able to get back on Dumpshock.
I vote 4 ... the secrets one.

And Poit-Narf, toast is called toast b/c ...

her crazieness came from media addiction-4chan/b/, and everything is said to have a signal even a toaster, that should explain it
Dark Talon
h'okay, so, Tom can you call and make sure we can use the office this time? <_< You know, before we show up and wait for an hour?
Poit-Narf
What time are we starting tonight?

merashin
nvm, i didn't remember the table, i was just going off what synner said. I figured synner would know what the book said, being as he wrote some of it.

what allows Kentucky to do damage on a disarm, because if it is arnis de mano then it doesn't work with the disarm manuever. Arnis says "arnisadors may inflict damage to their opponent when making a Called Shot to disarm," whereas the manuever is not a called shot.

I made a mistake....
Matsci
Due to unexpected conciquence, I can't make it down to san luis till about 6. I'll try to get ahold of everyone, but IN don't know if I can
Rad
Wow, looks like I missed alot of traffic over here.

BTW, anybody remember how much karma we got for that last run? Apparently I forgot to ask before everybody left.
merashin
i think it was like 5
Rad
So I just caught up reading Schlock Mercenary. Took me about three times of hitting the forward button before I realized it wasn't advancing because there were no more...

...after that, I felt kinda' sad. XD

Oh well, more tomorrow.
Bjørn

Yes, the spirt keeps all it's powers, including regeneration. You only get the goods if you have channeling.

You can just stop there. Regardless of the rest of your question, the answer is "you win".

You could have taken Yaje.....

We're not fond of dual-natured thor-shots to the skull.

BTW: Are we playing next friday, or is the con going to interfere?

I still need to find out if I'm supposed to be running a game at that one or not...

Also, have we decided yet on what system we're switching to?

I was going over the gurps rules and it occurred to me you could run a perfect Schlock Mercenary campaign using the Ultra-Tech rules. TL-11 pretty much nails it except for the teraport.
merashin
i still would like the dark heresy system, or the star wars saga edition system
Rad
Eh, dark heresy was seriously pissing me off with it's EMO TEENAGED ANGST bit. Maybe if I actually made it to the rules I'd have a slightly better opinion, but the setting just reeked of too much pretentiously epic self-pity masturbation for me to slog though it to the actual mechanics.

Never seen the star wars system, that might be interesting--always fun to act out my dark-side tendencies. biggrin.gif
merashin
we will be have to play as dark side characters if we do play star wars

Huh?
merashin
over the summer tom wanted to take a break from shadowrun, so we are playing something else
Poit-Narf
Oh, cool.

Between Dark Heresy and Saga Edition, I'd go with Saga Edition... mainly because I already have 2 books for it. nyahnyah.gif

Though, a Savage Worlds or Deadlands campaign could also be pretty fun. Or WoD.

I vote for WoD or Saga Edition. Preferably WoD, unless we use something like OpenRPG for the battlemat for Saga.
