I wasn't going to bed until 8AM by the time C4 rolled around [10:01 pm] eightbits: http://xkcd.com/448/ [10:01 pm] Here, some systems do have back up systems BUT under severe storms, the power grids are turned off. Leaving backup upto places like the hospital and other places [10:02 pm] HAHAHAHAH [10:02 pm] What is the point of having backup systems for the power grid if they turn it off, anyway?

[10:45 pm] I started my current character in 2003. [10:45 pm] What edition are you playing Schema? [10:45 pm] we actually played Serenity on and off from Summer 2007 to Spring 2008 [10:45 pm] we were so on and off, we never finished the adventure [10:46 pm] we are one freakin session away [10:46 pm] I wanna give bsg a try soon, same rules as serenity [10:46 pm] that sucks!! [10:46 pm] We started back up on All Flesh Must be Eaten after I got back [10:46 pm] The serenity rules arent very smooth [10:47 pm] I would use Savage Worlds rules [10:47 pm] I plan on running some TWERPS soon [10:48 pm] 4E rrCurtisP? Thou art sicker in the head than eve I [10:48 pm] hehehe [10:48 pm] * Harlock makes the gamers fail their saves vs. converting to FGU Aftermath [10:48 pm] rrCurtisP I still have and play my 1st ed character, created in 1978ce [10:48 pm] I ran that 4e modules for the world wide game day and I have to admit, it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be from all the reading I did on it before hand [10:49 pm] Right #16 and now we need to wrok on getting the Shadowrun game back up. [10:49 pm] How is it compared to 3E or 3.5 [10:49 pm] i need to find my TWERPS basic rules [10:49 pm] 4E is very different [10:49 pm] it plays more like an MMORPG [10:49 pm] maybehemline needs her upgrades first and discuss her story line some more [10:50 pm] eightbits, 3.5 [10:50 pm] Mike brought the core three $e books to the shop the other day for me to look at. I'll sell them, but they are a waste of money. [10:50 pm] Anytime you are ready #16. [10:50 pm] its fun though [10:50 pm] I tried getting a shadowrun group together but couldn't get a group to show up enough. Too many scheduling conflict [10:50 pm] the spellcasters get to use magic every round [10:50 pm] Yeah, 4e is very different [10:50 pm] after I get back from shcool I think, I am considering getting the pdfs of 4E [10:50 pm] but its damn fun [10:51 pm] there are things I like about it for sure! [10:51 pm] I have to get used to the numbers [10:51 pm] I have a dragonborn fighter [10:51 pm] For instance, the wizard/MU in previous editions blows his wad and sits out for the rest of combat usually while in 4e, he can be an active participant all game long. [10:51 pm] drivethroughrpg is offering the complete set for 20% off [10:51 pm] one of my exploits does damage even when i miss [10:52 pm] Schema, 3.5? Man, I picture you being more old-school for some reason. [10:52 pm] how did they do with the Ranger class? [10:52 pm] if one has the PDF's and a laser printer at work, the books become a lot cheaper [10:52 pm] at least that's what i heard [10:52 pm] the ranger is basically the class that gets to use two weapons at a time or ranged weapins [10:52 pm] if you want to be an archer, you have to be a ranger [10:53 pm] but that works better than you would think [10:53 pm] I didn't check out the ranger class. [10:53 pm] are they d8 or d10 hd? [10:53 pm] To be honest, I've never really liked the ranger class at all so in our 3.5 campaign, I made my own. My players really like it. [10:53 pm] I got miffed over the 3.5 changes [10:53 pm] I dont think classes have hit dice anymore [10:54 pm] eightbits: Heh, one of my university friends started the campaign, I just show up ;-) [10:54 pm] Village_16, I know what you mean, I have been putting back all kinds of things into 3.5 like facing and minimum enchanment bonuses for DR instead of just "magic" [10:54 pm] I will have to look at the books to make up my mind to add them to my collection or not [10:55 pm] I like the 3.5 rules though, with the d20 focus. Much more elegant than that THAC0 nonsense. [10:55 pm] I agree! [10:55 pm] I trust all you gamers read Order of the Stick? [10:55 pm] I never did like 10 to -10 AC [10:55 pm] Of course! [10:55 pm] And Goblins [10:55 pm] bognils and nilbogs [10:56 pm] Well, I was referring to http://goblinscomic.com/ [10:56 pm] Time for me to start the game tonight [10:57 pm] * lordronin (~lordronin@7A1E55C2.68A28F0F.E153056D.IP) has left #c64friends (Must run a RPG, back in a bit) [10:57 pm] I am still into Knights of the Dinner Table, I have almost all the Hackmaster stuff except for the modules [10:57 pm] I subscribe to that too. It's too damn funny not to. [10:57 pm] Rangers start with 12+CON HP and gain 5 per level [10:58 pm] do you have all the Hackmaster rpg boks? [10:58 pm] D&D4E progression is much more linear [10:58 pm] unlike 3E where two levels meant you were twice as powerful [10:58 pm] I may have to get the books anyway, can I still play a drow in 4E [10:59 pm] not yet [10:59 pm] the Barbarian, Druid, and Bard havent even been specced yet [10:59 pm] * Harlock (~Harlock@NewNet-72CDE75C.home1.cgocable.net) Quit (Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- IRC with a difference) [10:59 pm] No, I don't have any hackmaster books. I would love to get some. Just never did [10:59 pm] they are supposed to be in the PHB2 [10:59 pm] I heard that some classes got tossed out [11:00 pm] Not tossed out, just not in the first book [11:00 pm] Magic is completely different [11:00 pm] I will have to tell you about Grel Elves in Hackmaster, they rock [11:00 pm] * bogax (vircuser@NewNet-816782BE.dialup.mindspring.com) has joined #c64friends [11:00 pm] threw out Vancian spellcasting [11:01 pm] I think the new magic system may be the smoothest I've ever seen in an RPG [11:01 pm] I hae been wanting to run a HAckmaster game with the group sometime [11:02 pm] * RamaOEM (~anon@D5ED4ECF.575A0F2.6C75C244.IP) has joined #c64friends [11:02 pm] Hackmaster would be a lot of fun. A buddy of mine showed me his books and they looked like they were just a lot of fun [11:03 pm] * RamaOEM (~anon@D5ED4ECF.575A0F2.6C75C244.IP) Quit (Client exited) [11:03 pm] But I'm very interested in Aces and Eights. Got to play with Kenzer a couple years back at GenCon. Got blasted by a shotgun in the face. [11:03 pm]
