For some reason, I keep thinking it's saturday.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

I'm sure that by now it is Saturday somewhere....

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Ah yes, the vote. I vote for.... Jason! GO JASON!

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

I've probably already told you this, but I'm gonna be gone all day tomorrow - huge concert deal coming up. Got to be at the performance hall at 9 AM, hopefully I'll get back before midnight. Sorry again... been missing too many lately.

What the heck just happened?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

It's been over half an hour since I got disconnected and Loony still isn't showing up on the server list. If it doesn't come back up soon I may just give up on it for today.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Jack Smith, where are you??? We're supposed to be roleplaying!

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Sorry guys. I stayed up a little to late, then had trouble getting to sleep, then slept in.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Eh, don't worry about it. Server's been down for the last hour and a half.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Jack Smith... WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU?!?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Hy guys, room for one more?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Stupid power outage....

Ah well, back on now.

Not that the server is, mind; getting a little late.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Yes, room for one more.
Which reminds me... three votes, all for Jason. Wow. 2000 xp to Jason. And that's the only XP this session.... grr.... stupid power outage. Ah well, log (such as it is) attached.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Heya ZA, nice to see you.

Whee.. I made it back home at 1 AM http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif That was one heck of a long day. Fantastic concert, though, and we raised a ton of money for the symphony. Thanks for being understanding http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Okay, can someone post the 2.3 wxPython files and the OpenRPG files for me?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Why, can't you just download them from openrpg.com?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

You can find both at OpenRPG.Com

Server online.

Edit: Ah, too slow, I see.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

I would, but the site I download it from is down.

EDIT: Can you PLEASE hurry up and post those files? I really don't want to miss anything...

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Well, let's see if this fits...

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

ZA helped me, but thanks anyway.

Server Closed.

Eight CR 10 bandits and one CR 15 Druid foiled;
1333 xp each to Kibin, Jason, and Elorin at 16th
1750 xp each to Rilyrr, Kaylin, and Aaron at 15th

One CR 18 Behemoth Eagle encountered and chatted with; Aaron was the only one who actually recognized the meaning of "stay for dinner", and ended up over the side for lack of support. Unconscious, but in no immediate danger of dying. On the plus side, he did manage to convince the eagle to trust the rest of the party.....

Log attached. Oh, and who roleplayed best this week?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Oh, I recognized the meaning of "stay for dinner" immediately, I just chose to ignore it until the eagle proved it was no longer willing to even consider a peaceful diplomatic solution - which never happened.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

I didn't even read that, apparently. I cast my vote to.. uhm... gee, I need to think about it.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Sorry about disconnecting, but I really had to go... Fun, though.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

I won't be able to come on Saturday the 18th - viola competition in the morning and then the first competition with the robots we've been building is mid-day.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

I won't be there either, getting the robot ready for the competition and fixing problems after

my vote goes to Aaron

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

I'll vote for Aaron too, since everyone else is.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

I've had a HD crash; the password I had wasn't current and I was borrowing a computer. Anyway, I should be able to make it next week.

If you press edit, you'll find a delete button, the third one on the bottom.

Probably mess stuff up if it was actually deleted.

Hey, guys, I'm sorry to have to miss another session. The U-Haul van for moving is this weekend rental (it's hell moving a messy family into a new house). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Good luck with the move. And don't forget pizza. Movers need pizza.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Server closed. No fights today, although one discussion challenge with a CR 18 Behmoth Eagle overcome, a ghost laid to rest, and Kibin turned into a dragon egg, and hatched (not necessarily in that order).

Aaron one last RP award with two votes; 2000 xp to Aaron, if he returns.

Ad-hock 5,000 xp to everyone who attended today's session (Rilyrr, Jason, Kibin, Eldon), and half that to Kaylin (who's player wasn't there, but the character was instrumental).

Oh, and a scroll purchased for Kaylin - Sending - which she's expected to learn, then use to inform Eldon's king as to the end of the ghost, and the people of Atlantis on how to reverse most the transmutations.

Edit: Oh, and Kibin - ghost paid the XP; he wanted to really own the spell.....

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Log, forgot the log....

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

5000, eh? Let's see, that puts me 6532 away from level 17. Unless the wings I get as a class feature next level grow overnight (they're completely nonmagical, so that would seem a tad strange), I think it's about time for them to start growing.

Custom magic item discussion regarding Goggles of See Invisibility:
Formula cost is 2*3*2000*1.5 = 18000 gp. A 7th level character is the absolute earliest a PC could afford that by the wealth by level table, and that's if you let him spend almost 95% of his gold on that one item. If you limit secondary items (and this would almost certainly be considered secondary in importance at best by most everyone) to 25% of character wealth maximum, that puts it at 12th level minimum. At that point, a wizard has had the ability to cast See Invis and Glitterdust for 10 levels, and the ability to cast Permanency with See Invis for 3, and the cleric's had Invisibility Purge for 8 levels. Even at that point, such an item is little more than a convenience for a wizard or cleric, certainly not something worth near 25% of his total wealth. Even for other characters, invisibility should not be a major concern at that level, not with almost any competent wizard easily able to neutralize invisibility as a threat. Certainly not anything I would consider worth 25% of a character's wealth. Now, at 15th and 16th level, it's down to 9% and 7% of character wealth, respectively, low enough for me to seriously consider it. Even so, it's still merely a convenience in most situations, as a 15-16th level party shouldn't have significant trouble with invisibility anyway. Around that level it's getting pretty useless for the PC's against a lot of appropriate CR monsters, and in most cases shouldn't be a problem for the PC's either. I don't think giving permanent See Invisibility to the party would make invisibility significantly less of a threat than it already is, outside of really unusual situations.

To sum up, the cost from the formula is prohibitively high for the levels where it would really be useful, and high enough that few characters would consider it until well past the point where the party should have plenty of counters to invisibility anyway.
