eh just turned in dragon age origins for mass effect 2. da was boring.

Sure kuuki. Sounda like our Critical master zerker we have in our group. Critical hits on a roll of 15+. Who needs power attack when you got a 25% chance of double damage. My Cleric is tweaked to pretty much kill any evil or undead in one turn. Most of our group combats don't last more then 3 rounds unless the monsters have a high DR.

hmm, substitute attack roll (d20) modifier for 4dmg per point? SURE!
78+1d6 X 6 attacks per turn

I think Kuuki just had some sort of seizure

[Kylilin]

It warms my heart to see that this place is still going. Hope all is well with everyone.

naw. but that does remind me, I NEED to find that character sheet, I made that guy years ago... I still got it around here somewhere (just to give out what the attack dmg was per roll :3)

besides, my seizure is caused by something else

Digital versions. You can input the values of your character into the relevant tabs then it spits out a character sheet. The character sheet itself you can edit with your damage (wounds) and temp modifiers. it doesn't do well with 2 weapon fighting (I have to manually calculate that, meh) but it's PRETTY GODDAMNED AWESOME. (requires Excel 97-2003)

Got in two games of Talisman at my party last night. First game ended with a 3 person battle royal after I got there first, killed one player off, then failed my spell check rolls and got smacked by a damn THIEF.

2nd game dragged on from 7pm til 3am. We finally gave up when the game basically told us it had no chance of beating us anytime soon

still had fun

[Cmdr. Cracken]

just watched Manchester United v. Arsenal on FOX. I can't believe they decided to broadcast actual futbol!

[Wildstar]

Hey Kylilin...LTNS

[edlib]

I was looking for a basic, all-in-one starter box set of D&D to get the kids on the road. Couldn't find it...

Went with Pathfinder RPG box set instead. It looks like a really nice product. D20 OGL 3.5 compatible.

http://geekout.blogs.cnn.com/2011/10...nners-box-set/

I'm pretty excited about it!

In the meantime... I've been looking over a bunch of the old-school materials I have, as well as stuff I've found online, to get reacquainted and inspired again.

[Keyan Farlander]

Man, these morning runs are treacherous and unpleasant in icy and foggy conditions.

[edlib]

Yeah... It's a dirty, slushy, sloppy mess around here on the streets and sidewalks right now.

I'm always somewhat surprised when I see joggers and bike riders out in it. That's more dedication than I have.

Which probably explains my out-of-shapeness.

I have been putting a bit of time in on the bike... Though not as much as I need.

It's lack of dedication that compelled me to do it. I have to start the week out right or my motivation evaporates. Otherwise, tomorrow it'll be like, "Well, I didn't do it Monday, so the week's already shot. Might as well eat a bag of Cheetos for breakfast instead."

If it were Wednesday or something, I could skip a day and get back on track, but that Monday morning run sets the tone for the whole week for some reason.

[Wildstar]

Well, it's on...a rematch of Super Bowl XLII with the Patriots and Giants for Super Bowl XLVI. I just hope the result of the last one is reversed this time.

[Cmdr. Cracken]

Well, on reddit, the comparisons to the Patriots and the Empire have started. It's endless Star Wars jokes over there.

[Rogue15]

went to all my classes today...walked there from my place, wasn't too bad. got homework.

Mass Effect 2 is freakin awesome.

[Keyan Farlander]

Terrible traffic this morning. I considered a murder rampage followed by suicide, but I haven't finished Batman: Arkham Asylum yet, and I want to see how it ends

[Cmdr. Cracken]

Finished the contract work, and got paid today. Though it did involve a trip to the county clerks office, which was FUN. Oh god, would go again! >.>

[edlib]

I'm here... with nothing to add.

Work is... *YAWN*... (excuse me...) super exciting.



Did my performance review self-evaluation today. Ugh.

[Rogue15]

writing my obituary for homework. fun.

[K_Kinnison]

wow R15. Maybe i should work on mine as it is my Birthday. 37th Trip around the sun on spaceship earth

[Keyan Farlander]

Happy birthday! Have one for us!

[Keyan Farlander]

Still making my way through Batman: Arkham Asylum. I know I'm a couple of years late on this one, but I'm really enjoying it, and I'm looking forward to playing the sequel as well.

[Kuuki]

I wonder if groovy will let me do live versions of LC

[K_Kinnison]

I have been playing Fallout 3 for the last several months, ever since downloading the GOTY version. played the game once through vanilla already. Now I am going through doing all the quests and DLC. Just started "Point lookout" and have to say the "Mothership:Zeta" was a lot funner.

[Rogue15]

picked up Force Unleashed II with a gamestop gift card my parents gave me for my birthday.

I have at least that many... though mine lean heavier to the racing sims these days. (A pretty decent chunk of my collection is currently taking up residence at my girlfriend's place, though.)

I just don't have that much time to fire it up and play anymore. Damn you, real life!

I just got into Oblivion a bit... after owning it for like 5 years.

Mainly, because I want to get used to the mechanics just in case I get Skyrim at some point. And partly because I need additional inspiration if I'm going to design dungeons and adventures for a D&D game again.

[Keyan Farlander]

Played Batman for several hours last night. I think it's been years since I've played a game for that long at one sitting. I was trying to find all those blasted Riddler things!

[Rogue15]

TFU II is awesome!!! Playing on hardest difficulty available to me. Love the force powers, they're insane!!!

[Keyan Farlander]

Really? I found that game utterly forgettable. Not bad, but just so lacking. Not as good as the first one, anyway.

[edlib]

Rogue Nine needs to check his lap times in Need For Speed: Shift. They may have been utterly destroyed recently.

Just sayin'...



It seems they have done an update that fixes the handling problems in both Shift games... making the higher-level cars actually, y'know... drivable. I went through and cleaned up a bunch of the races where it (erroneously) reported that Niner was faster than I.

All is right in the world now.

Also: Niner... you need to play more Forza 4. And share some of your cars in the garage.

[Cmdr. Cracken]

My steam list is pretty short.

Half-Life 2
Bioshock
Day of Defeat: Source
battlefield: Bad Company 2
Portal
Portal 2
Team Fortress 2
Guild Wars
La Noire
Sonic Generations
Warhammer 40k
Magica
Simcity 4

I also attached Star Wars: The Old Republic and Starcraft II: Wings of liberty there....

[Kuuki]

Insane is a good word.

It is amazing what Lucasfarts will put out in order to appeal to gamers.
