20/02/2008 03:59:52 ‹Ask a Shoanti› Damn he's gone 
20/02/2008 03:59:55 ‹Moth working› Heh - on my screen, "Eriks" name is the same colour as his paizo avatar 
20/02/2008 04:00:05 ‹Rambling Scribe› What? Erik was here?
04:00:05 ‹Ask a Shoanti› James! 
20/02/2008 04:00:07 ‹Moth working› Hey Doctor J 
20/02/2008 04:00:11 ‹Wyvern› Hey James! 
20/02/2008 04:00:13 ‹Pygon› how was your, uh, meeting tensor? 
20/02/2008 04:00:16 ‹James Jacobs› Hi there! 
20/02/2008 04:00:16 ‹Rambling Scribe› JJ! 
20/02/2008 04:00:18 ‹Daigle› Howdy James 
20/02/2008 04:00:20 ‹Pygon› hi James! 
20/02/2008 04:00:21 * Ask a Shoanti raises klar for the Doctor! 
20/02/2008 04:00:25 ‹DMcCoy1693› hi James 
20/02/2008 04:00:38 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Doctor Jacobs!  
20/02/2008 04:00:45 ‹tensor› Pygon:  not bad.  We are going to have a follow up on Thursday afternoon.  I didn't ask about details  
20/02/2008 04:01:00 ‹Hill Giant› Oh, captain, my, captain? 
20/02/2008 04:01:32 ‹tensor› That is one of my favorite poems 
20/02/2008 04:02:25 ‹James Jacobs› mmmmm... sandwich... 
20/02/2008 04:02:27 ‹tensor rolls dice› 1d33 »  + 13 = 13 
20/02/2008 04:02:40 ‹Chat Summary Lilith rolls dice› 1d13 »  + 9 = 9 
20/02/2008 04:02:57 * Chat Summary Lilith gives James Jacobs his Cthulhu Cookies.    
20/02/2008 04:02:58 ‹Ask a Shoanti› James: this rumor about future Hellknight development is all a pack of lies right? 
20/02/2008 04:02:58 ‹tensor› i have another list. 
20/02/2008 04:03:18 ‹tensor› 13:  The target of your strategies should be less the army face than the mind of the man or woman who runs it.  If you understand how that mind works, you have the key to deceiving and controlling it.  Train yourself to read people, picking up the signals they unconsciously send about their innermost thoughts and intentions. 
20/02/2008 04:03:19 ‹James Jacobs› mmmm... cookies... 
20/02/2008 04:03:36 ‹tensor› I got this because Pygon and I are playing Heroscape, and the tactics are waaay fun. 
20/02/2008 04:03:55 * Mad Geologist joins Main 
20/02/2008 04:03:55 ‹Pygon› I thought maybe that had something to do with it  
20/02/2008 04:04:01 ‹James Jacobs› As for the Hellknight development... there's a chance it's a pack of lies, sure! But there's a bigger chance that we'll eventually do SOMETHING with Hellknights. 
20/02/2008 04:04:07 ‹tensor› It is from a book called 33 Strategies of War 
20/02/2008 04:04:32 ‹Moth working› What's for dinner tonight James? 
20/02/2008 04:04:46 ‹James Jacobs› Turkey sandwich and a greek salad. 
20/02/2008 04:04:46 ‹tensor› P i Z Z A  !!! 
20/02/2008 04:04:56 ‹Ask a Shoanti› It's already gone too far - people are starting to accidentally like the Hellknights - it's terrible 
20/02/2008 04:05:24 ‹tensor› are these the guys who ride motorbikes in the australian outback? 
20/02/2008 04:05:25 ‹Moth working› sounds healthy.... 
20/02/2008 04:05:25 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› The Shoanti should do something about that. 
20/02/2008 04:05:25 ‹James Jacobs› That's good! That encourages us to actually do something about them! 
20/02/2008 04:05:45 ‹tensor› wait.  that is the NightRider 
20/02/2008 04:05:48 ‹Ask a Shoanti› Good idea Lilith 
20/02/2008 04:05:48 ‹Moth working› James, we know that in Golarion the Chelaxian language = Common. Does it say that anywhere officially? 
20/02/2008 04:05:54 ‹James Jacobs› Healthy food is for the best! 
20/02/2008 04:06:00 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: To get it quickly out of the way so we can talk about Paizo stuff..."Any word on the OGL/GSL/Whatever the heck it is for 4E?" 
20/02/2008 04:06:08 ‹James Jacobs› Moth> Let me look at my current printout of the gazetteer... 
20/02/2008 04:06:19 ‹Pygon› I too am curious about the OGL thinger 
20/02/2008 04:06:41 ‹Mad Geologist› James Jacobs: The way that you keep on putting off announcing the edition to be used for 'second darkness' could be interpretted that Paizo has decided that the Ap and Golarion, generally, will go 4E, No matter what.... Even if you don't see the 4E rules until the day that the hit the shops. 
20/02/2008 04:06:44 ‹DMcCoy1693› yea the dewhickie 
20/02/2008 04:07:03 ‹DMcCoy1693› that works with the thingamabobber 
20/02/2008 04:07:14 ‹DMcCoy1693› and lets stuff happen 
20/02/2008 04:07:17 ‹DMcCoy1693› any news 
20/02/2008 04:07:19 ‹DMcCoy1693› ? 
20/02/2008 04:07:28 ‹Pygon› I think he's typing... 
20/02/2008 04:07:41 ‹James Jacobs› OK! There is not officially a language called "Chelaxian." That's something we didn't end up keeping out of the Runelords Player's Guide. The most commonly spoken language in Cheliax is Common (known also as "Taldane"; the second most common language spoken in Cheliax is Infernal. 
20/02/2008 04:08:01 ‹James Jacobs› AND: No new news to report on the GSL/4th edition front. We still haven't seen either. 
20/02/2008 04:08:15 ‹Rambling Scribe›  
20/02/2008 04:08:17 ‹Pygon›  
20/02/2008 04:08:18 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Great! Now let's talk super secret projects and Code Green Alpha Clearance. 
20/02/2008 04:08:29 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› What's the big project the Bull-man's been working on? 
20/02/2008 04:08:30 ‹DMcCoy1693› Related Question:  Is anyone from Paizo planning on going to D&D XP 
20/02/2008 04:08:37 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› What's the subscriber goodies coming up? 
20/02/2008 04:08:39 ‹Moth working› James: cool re the language info - the question was asked on Lilith's Crimson Throne pbp thread 
20/02/2008 04:08:40 ‹DMcCoy1693› considering it might be our first look at the new rules? 
20/02/2008 04:09:11 * Wolfshead joins Main 
20/02/2008 04:09:27 ‹Daigle› When blind people go #2 how do they know they're done wiping? 
20/02/2008 04:09:31 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Wolfshead!   
20/02/2008 04:09:31 ‹Rambling Scribe› Hi Watcher! 
20/02/2008 04:09:37 ‹Daigle› Sorry, wrong chat. 
20/02/2008 04:09:46 ‹Moth working› it's a good question though.... 
20/02/2008 04:10:04 ‹Daigle› Howdy Wolfshead 
20/02/2008 04:10:07 ‹Atrocious› What is the "right" chat for that question? 
20/02/2008 04:10:15 ‹Wyvern› Ha! That was once asked to a blind person in Howard Stern. 
20/02/2008 04:10:23 ‹Wolfshead› Greetings. 
20/02/2008 04:10:25 ‹Pygon› sounds about right 
20/02/2008 04:10:26 ‹Daigle› My internal dialogue 
20/02/2008 04:10:55 ‹James Jacobs› Mad Geologist> Look at it this way: According to the schedule, we should have had the first author start writing the first adventure for Second Darkness, "Shadow in the Sky," start writing on January 1st. The deadline for him to deliver is not changing. And every day we don't have the 4th edition rules narrows that. 
20/02/2008 04:11:09 ‹tensor› OH, I was at the coffeshop, attached to the Borders Bookstore this evening, and overheard a group of people talking about starting to play DnD.  Apparently, some are coming back to the game after many years off and a few must be new to the game completely.  Anyways, the sentiment was they were not going to start until "the new verision" came out.    
20/02/2008 04:11:20 ‹Wyvern› And she was even more surprised that people with sight would actually keep looking at their stuff. She was creeped out, which makes sense. 
20/02/2008 04:11:26 ‹DMcCoy1693› James:  Damn. 
20/02/2008 04:11:26 ‹tensor› I don't know what this has to do with current players, but it was interesting. 
20/02/2008 04:11:28 ‹James Jacobs› AND: Since 4th edition is new rules, we'll need MORE time to write and develop and edit an adventure, because none of us KNOW the rules yet. 
20/02/2008 04:11:48 ‹James Jacobs› So each day that passes makes it more and more likely that Second Darkness will be 3.5 all the way to the end. 
20/02/2008 04:11:53 ‹Mad Geologist› Nick Logue knows them. 
20/02/2008 04:11:53 * Dr. Ed joins Main 
20/02/2008 04:11:55 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› I've said it before...but you guys are in a sucky position. 
20/02/2008 04:12:03 ‹Daigle› Howdy Ed 
20/02/2008 04:12:09 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› No matter which direction you go, you're going to end up losing customers. 
20/02/2008 04:12:12 ‹James Jacobs› Jason Bulmahn will be going to D&D XP. 
20/02/2008 04:12:12 ‹Dr. Ed›  
20/02/2008 04:12:20 ‹DMcCoy1693› somehow, I don't think Nic can write an entire adventure path by himself. 
20/02/2008 04:12:27 ‹DMcCoy1693› I mean I am sure he can 
20/02/2008 04:12:34 ‹Moth working› I htink he can .... but ....... 
20/02/2008 04:12:40 ‹Ask a Shoanti› guyaki!!! 
20/02/2008 04:12:41 ‹DMcCoy1693› but I think his schedule might be a little to full for that 
20/02/2008 04:12:49 ‹Moth working› Hey Ed 
20/02/2008 04:12:58 * Moth working changes his/her nickname to Moth 
20/02/2008 04:13:00 ‹Mad Geologist› I'm not sure it would be safe to read, lwet alone play a whole Ap written by Nick Logue... 
20/02/2008 04:13:03 * Dr. Ed changes his/her nickname to ephealy 
20/02/2008 04:13:24 ‹Ask a Shoanti› Nicks a machine - he'll throw in a 3rd or 4th darkness while he's at it 
20/02/2008 04:13:27 ‹DMcCoy1693› I'm sure it's plenty safe for the DM 
20/02/2008 04:13:28 ‹Wyvern› Heya Ed! 
20/02/2008 04:13:38 ‹Blazej› James Jacobs, do you know any good, cheap places to get gas near Paizo? 
20/02/2008 04:13:41 ‹ephealy› Hey all. Hey Luis. 
20/02/2008 04:13:54 ‹Ask a Shoanti› Ed! 
20/02/2008 04:13:54 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: I got PCs to kill! How's it looking for Pathfinder #7? 
20/02/2008 04:14:06 ‹James Jacobs› Mad Geo> Even if we use an author who knows the rules... we don't, yet. And publishing a undeveloped, unedited Nick Logue adventure would NOT be a smart move. For any edition of ANY game. 
20/02/2008 04:14:13 ‹ephealy› There's a nice Mexican restaurant down the road, Blazej. 
20/02/2008 04:14:22 ‹Rambling Scribe›  
20/02/2008 04:14:42 ‹Daigle› I was leaving that for someone else. 
20/02/2008 04:14:43 ‹Blazej› Is that the one next to the 7-11? 
20/02/2008 04:15:06 ‹Blazej› Or is my mind not working right. 
20/02/2008 04:15:09 ‹Moth› Nick could do his own maps and everything..... 
20/02/2008 04:15:15 ‹James Jacobs› BlazeJ> There's no cheap gas in all of Washington, as far as I know. 
20/02/2008 04:15:21 * Gemma quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 04:15:28 ‹Moth› Or any cheap gas .... anywhere 
20/02/2008 04:15:46 ‹Daigle› I hear Saudi Arabi has pretty cheap gas. 
20/02/2008 04:15:47 ‹Ask a Shoanti› So, a red mantis and a hellknight walk into a bar. . . 
20/02/2008 04:15:53 ‹Blazej› James Jacobs, thanks.  I thought I would ask just in case. 
20/02/2008 04:15:57 ‹James Jacobs› Pathfinder #7 can indeed kill PCs. 
20/02/2008 04:16:02 ‹ephealy› We pay (in US terms) about $7 per gallon here (Eastern Europe). 
20/02/2008 04:16:19 ‹Wyvern› You already moved?! 
20/02/2008 04:16:39 ‹Moth› how much is a gallon in metric? 
20/02/2008 04:16:51 ‹DMcCoy1693› Iraq had gas really dirt cheap, before the war. 
20/02/2008 04:16:58 * Ison joins Main 
20/02/2008 04:17:10 ‹DMcCoy1693› IIRC 3.75 liters/gallon 
20/02/2008 04:17:10 ‹Daigle› Howdy Ison 
20/02/2008 04:17:14 ‹Wyvern› Moth: 1 US gallon = 3.7854118 liters 
20/02/2008 04:17:18 * Fatespinner joins Main 
20/02/2008 04:17:21 ‹DMcCoy1693› not bad 
20/02/2008 04:17:25 ‹Daigle› Fatey! 
20/02/2008 04:17:26 ‹Mad Geologist› James Jacobs: Would you be able to speculate on the two or three most critical reasons which might result in Pathfinder and Golarion specifically (not Paizo generally) staying a 4E free zone? 
20/02/2008 04:17:31 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: Eeeeeeeeexcellent... 
20/02/2008 04:17:37 ‹ephealy› I can't wait for Path #7, James. City adventures are my favorite, which is why SCAP is still on the top of my list. 
20/02/2008 04:17:40 ‹James Jacobs› 1 gallon = 768 teaspoons. 
20/02/2008 04:17:41 ‹Moth› James: The Curse of the Crimson Throne players guide looks awesome – now, when does the first adventure come out? 
20/02/2008 04:17:42 * Fatespinner waves. 
20/02/2008 04:18:01 * Mad Geologist nods to Fatespinner.... 
20/02/2008 04:18:03 ‹Pygon› hi Fate 
20/02/2008 04:18:07 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Fatey! 
20/02/2008 04:18:10 ‹ephealy› I've played SCAP... three times now. I love it. 
20/02/2008 04:18:13 * Chat Summary Lilith runs over and glomps Fatespinner!  
20/02/2008 04:18:15 ‹DMcCoy1693› James:  Thanks, noted, for future reference 
20/02/2008 04:18:17 ‹Moth› so ... gas in eastern europe is expensive .... 
20/02/2008 04:18:21 ‹Ison› howdys 
20/02/2008 04:18:25 ‹Fatespinner› Pygon: I'm at home now.  We can check out the Heroscape thing now! 
20/02/2008 04:18:39 ‹Pygon› ok, tab up top! 
20/02/2008 04:18:46 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: Super secret project that Jason's slaving away on? I must know more! 
20/02/2008 04:18:46 ‹Moth› Hey Fate - how'd the carpet thing go? 
20/02/2008 04:18:51 * Chat Summary Lilith bribes with cookies.  
20/02/2008 04:18:51 ‹James Jacobs› Mad Geo> First of all, Pathfinder and Golarion ARE Paizo. Pathfinder's easily our #1 line of products, and it's our flagship title. What rules it uses decides what rules the rest of Paizo's products (not Necromancer's) use. 
20/02/2008 04:18:54 ‹James Jacobs› For the most part. 
20/02/2008 04:19:03 ‹DMcCoy1693› moth:  gas outside of the US is expensive.  We guard the world's oil, we get the employee discount. 
20/02/2008 04:19:07 ‹Fatespinner› Moth: Just fine.  Carpets are clean, though there were some spots that just wouldn't come out. 
20/02/2008 04:19:14 ‹tensor› I want to play Heroscape 
20/02/2008 04:19:22 ‹Fatespinner› Soda stains around the gaming table.  Go figure.  
20/02/2008 04:19:23 ‹James Jacobs› BUT: If we don't get the rules soon, that's the #1 reason it'll not go 4th edition until, at the earliest, #19. 
20/02/2008 04:19:37 ‹James Jacobs› ALSO: If we get the rules and they suck, that's another reason not to change. 
20/02/2008 04:19:46 ‹Ask a Shoanti› lol! 
20/02/2008 04:19:50 ‹Wyvern› Ha! 
20/02/2008 04:20:21 ‹DMcCoy1693›  
20/02/2008 04:20:38 ‹James Jacobs› ALSO: If the GSL prevents us from doing the type of products we need to do in order to survive (say, the GSL forbids us to create new monsters, or has a built-in "We can take the GSL away from you at any time," clause), THAT's a reason not to use 4th edition. 
20/02/2008 04:20:47 ‹tensor› are you going to have a 3e line and a 4e line? 
20/02/2008 04:21:04 ‹James Jacobs› Those are probably the top 3 reasons we'd not go 4th. 
20/02/2008 04:21:28 ‹DMcCoy1693› (Or if the GSL has language that prevents Nic from writing what he's REALLY good at...) 
20/02/2008 04:21:31 ‹tensor› what are the top three FOR 
20/02/2008 04:21:31 ‹ephealy› 3.75 
20/02/2008 04:21:32 ‹Mad Geologist› The new monster creation is important to you? 
20/02/2008 04:21:37 ‹ephealy› *ahem* 
20/02/2008 04:21:42 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› A better question is does Paizo have the staff to support both 3.5e and 4e? 
20/02/2008 04:21:43 ‹Mad Geologist› (James Jacobs) 
20/02/2008 04:21:51 ‹James Jacobs› I still do not have CODE GREEN ALPHA to talk about any hypothetical "secret projects" that may or may not be in process, alas. 
20/02/2008 04:22:07 * Chat Summary Lilith cries... 
20/02/2008 04:22:08 ‹ephealy› Sure, if they don't want to sleep. 
20/02/2008 04:22:24 ‹tensor› time enough for rest in the grave 
20/02/2008 04:22:26 ‹Daigle› yay!  Gunshots in my neighborhood. 
20/02/2008 04:22:32 ‹Blazej› ! 
20/02/2008 04:22:34 ‹ephealy› Sounds familiar. 
20/02/2008 04:22:36 ‹tensor› run out side with a flashlight 
20/02/2008 04:22:36 ‹Ask a Shoanti› duck! 
20/02/2008 04:22:42 ‹DMcCoy1693› James:  here's a question for you.  Has the "What Pathfinder Chronicles Products Do You Want" helped at all? 
20/02/2008 04:22:51 ‹tensor› Daigle:  no don't. 
20/02/2008 04:22:51 ‹ephealy› Are you sure you're not in Sofia, Adam? 
20/02/2008 04:22:51 ‹James Jacobs› Having a 3E and a 4E line would be really REALLY rough on our current staff level. We'd have to become experts in both systems. And based on my time working here when we went from 3.0 to 3.5... that'd be a nightmare hellscape. 
20/02/2008 04:23:02 ‹Daigle› tensor, thanks for the advice!  
20/02/2008 04:23:06 ‹Moth› James: This is a serious question, though it may not sound like it; how closely will you need to look at the (4E) rules to know if they suck or not (or will not allow you to do what you want to do with Golarion). As industry professionals, do you expect to understand them pretty much at a glance, or would it take weeks of reading and playtesting to determine that? 
20/02/2008 04:23:41 ‹tensor› Pygon:  I keep trying to connect.  Is your router open? 
20/02/2008 04:24:29 ‹James Jacobs› Mad Geo> Being able to make new monsters is probably one of THE most important aspects to me. If we can't make new monsters, and therefore have to stick with whatever monsters WotC provides... the rate at which we produce adventures will SWIFTLY outpace the variety of monsters and the adventures themselves will stagnate and rot. PLUS: new monsters are my favorite crunch to the game. 
20/02/2008 04:24:47 ‹Moth› James: If you guys were to do a hypothetical secret project, what might that, hypothetically, be?   
20/02/2008 04:24:52 ‹James Jacobs› If I can't put new monsters in what I'm working on... I'll leave and go find something that WILL let me do that. Or maybe get a job at a movie theater. 
20/02/2008 04:25:21 ‹Rambling Scribe› Don't go James! 
20/02/2008 04:25:29 ‹Mad Geologist› A movi theathre that shows Cloverfield 24-7? 
20/02/2008 04:25:31 ‹DMcCoy1693› ditto what scribe said 
20/02/2008 04:25:32 ‹Rambling Scribe› (unless I can ahve your job) 
20/02/2008 04:25:35 ‹James Jacobs› DMmCoy> The "What Pathfinder Chronicles" HAS helped! 
20/02/2008 04:25:43 ‹James Jacobs› ALL feedback helps, of course!  
20/02/2008 04:25:54 ‹DMcCoy1693› Hoody Hoo! 
20/02/2008 04:26:23 ‹DMcCoy1693› any pieces from there in particular spark anyone's imagination at Paizo? 
20/02/2008 04:27:08 ‹James Jacobs› Moth> First impressions will certainly play a big part in us deciding if we can and like the new rules. But you can't really know the rules until you play the game. Several times, in fact. That said, if the new rules are SO different that it takes us weeks and weeks to figure them out... I put it to you it's not D&D anymore. 
20/02/2008 04:27:35 ‹James Jacobs› Moth> A hypothetical secret project would be: A kaiju LARP. 
20/02/2008 04:27:48 ‹Daigle› Kaiju LARP! 
20/02/2008 04:27:57 ‹Hill Giant› "Uh Oh, there goes Tokyo"? 
20/02/2008 04:27:59 * DMcCoy1693 snorts a laugh 
20/02/2008 04:28:02 ‹Pygon› tensor - I don't ahve it up, one sec 
20/02/2008 04:28:07 ‹Rambling Scribe› It could be run parallel with frogger LARP! 
20/02/2008 04:28:14 ‹Daigle› Cardboard boxes painted to look like buildings and skylines of famous cities. 
20/02/2008 04:28:17 ‹Moth› ha! 
20/02/2008 04:28:23 ‹Daigle› Frogger LARP! 
20/02/2008 04:28:34 ‹Daigle› Losing that one sucks. 
20/02/2008 04:28:50 ‹James Jacobs› DMcCoy> I'm not sure... I myself am pretty stuck deep in Pathfinder these days... but we HAVE been going through scheduling for the end of the year stuff for a few weeks now... 
20/02/2008 04:28:58 ‹Moth› Is there an OGL kaiju type template? 
20/02/2008 04:29:34 ‹Wyvern› Moth: True20 
20/02/2008 04:30:00 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Moth: Gigantean, from Advanced Bestiary 
20/02/2008 04:30:04 ‹James Jacobs› Moth> There's a big monster template in Advanced Bestiary. And I wrote the kaiju template for Dragon once already... I can do it again if it comes to that. 
20/02/2008 04:30:08 ‹Mad Geologist› If paizo had the artistic (for want of a better term) freedom otherwise necessary, would it matter if the game that they were supporting wasn't D&D any more? 
20/02/2008 04:30:11 ‹Daigle› beat me to it, Lilz 
20/02/2008 04:30:13 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: Gotcha!  
20/02/2008 04:30:39 * ephealy changes his/her nickname to ephealyAFK 
20/02/2008 04:31:13 ‹Moth› James: I'm almost certain you would have ideas for kaiju monsters in Golarion... 
20/02/2008 04:31:53 ‹James Jacobs› Mad Geo> It wouldn't matter if the fans and customers didn't think it mattered. 
20/02/2008 04:31:55 ‹Atrocious› James, when will we be able to read about the Aboleths place in Golarion? 
20/02/2008 04:32:46 ‹Ask a Shoanti› Night all guys! 
20/02/2008 04:32:47 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Ooh, yes! Aboleth!  
20/02/2008 04:32:56 ‹James Jacobs› I posted a little bit about Golarion's aboleths to the message boards. To get their themes, you can read "At the Mountains of Madness," by Lovecraft. As for Golarion stuff in particular... there'll be a few bits and pieces in the Gazetteer, and then more, I suspect, in the Hardcover. 
20/02/2008 04:33:08 ‹Rambling Scribe› GNight Mike! 
20/02/2008 04:33:08 ‹James Jacobs› There'll CERTAINLY be some aboleth action in Second Darkness. 
20/02/2008 04:33:22 * Jason Bulmahn joins Main 
20/02/2008 04:33:26 ‹tensor› 25:  In a political world, the cause you are fighting for must seem more just than the enemy’s.  By questioning your opponents’ motives and making them appear evil, you can narrow their base of support and room to maneuver.  When you yourself come under moral attack from a clever enemy, do not whine or get angry; fight fire with fire. 
20/02/2008 04:33:29 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› JASON!  
20/02/2008 04:33:34 * Ask a Shoanti quit 
20/02/2008 04:33:35 ‹Daigle› Howdy Jason! 
20/02/2008 04:33:36 * Chat Summary Lilith runs and glomps the BULL-MAN! 
20/02/2008 04:33:38 ‹Rambling Scribe› Hi Jason! 
20/02/2008 04:33:41 ‹Jason Bulmahn› I am hear.. fear me... 
20/02/2008 04:33:42 ‹James Jacobs› I really do like the aboleths. There'll be something about them by the end of the year. 
20/02/2008 04:33:43 ‹Mad Geologist› James Jacobs: Since you are n a business, may I take it that you mean 'if more than 50% of the fans and customers didn't think it mattered?' 
20/02/2008 04:33:43 ‹Atrocious› James: Favorite Lovecraft work? 
20/02/2008 04:33:44 ‹Wyvern› Hardcover Golarion? Wow! I've been really disconnected it seems, as you say that as old news. 
20/02/2008 04:33:45 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Ahhh.. glomped 
20/02/2008 04:33:49 ‹Moth› Hi Jason 
20/02/2008 04:33:57 ‹DMcCoy1693› hey Jason 
20/02/2008 04:34:01 ‹James Jacobs› Jason is "hear?" I must have my speakers turned down... 
20/02/2008 04:34:03 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Hi everybody 
20/02/2008 04:34:11 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Shaddup you! 
20/02/2008 04:34:15 * Chat Summary Lilith gives Jason Bulmahn his required beer and london broil with a side of thick-cut fries.  
20/02/2008 04:34:21 ‹Jason Bulmahn› I cannot tipe anymore.. fingers busted 
20/02/2008 04:34:34 ‹Daigle› What happened? 
20/02/2008 04:34:38 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› For the record...James Jacobs' most misspelled word in the chats is "adventure" 
20/02/2008 04:34:41 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Thanks Lilith..as always 
20/02/2008 04:34:47 ‹Chat Summary Lilith›

20/02/2008 04:35:02 ‹James Jacobs› Mad Geo> I'm not really the guy to ask about business stuff. Personally... I'd love to keep doing this if we were just making enough money to break even. That's reason #1 I'm not allowed to make business decisions. 
20/02/2008 04:35:04 ‹Moth› James: HAve you guys got a "look" for your aboleth yet? 
20/02/2008 04:35:18 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Daigle> Nothing actually happened... I have just been writing way too much lately... 
20/02/2008 04:35:32 ‹Daigle› Gotcha 
20/02/2008 04:35:38 * Chat Summary Lilith massages Jason Bulmahn's poor digits. 
20/02/2008 04:35:45 * Chat Summary Lilith gives James and Jason backrubs. 
20/02/2008 04:35:47 ‹James Jacobs› Atrocious> Favorite Lovecraft work... hmmm... either "The Colour Out of Space," "The Dunwich Horror," or 
20/02/2008 04:35:55 ‹James Jacobs› "The Shadow over Innsmouth." 
20/02/2008 04:36:00 ‹James Jacobs› Or "Mountains of Madness" 
20/02/2008 04:36:03 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Cmon James.. 
20/02/2008 04:36:06 ‹James Jacobs› Or "Dream Quest of Unknown Kadaht." 
20/02/2008 04:36:07 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Ahh.. there it is 
20/02/2008 04:36:09 ‹James Jacobs› KADATH 
20/02/2008 04:36:21 ‹Jason Bulmahn› You cannot list them all you know  
20/02/2008 04:36:24 ‹James Jacobs› Or "The Thing on the Doorstep" 
20/02/2008 04:36:34 * ephealyAFK changes his/her nickname to ephealy 
20/02/2008 04:36:37 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Or.. maybe you could 
20/02/2008 04:36:41 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Or or or...  
20/02/2008 04:36:42 ‹Russ› Still no movement on rules, then. Yay WotC. 
20/02/2008 04:36:43 ‹tensor› I recently read Long's "The Hounds of Tindolas".  That story rocked!!! 
20/02/2008 04:36:46 ‹James Jacobs› Or "The Rats in the Walls" or "The Shadow Out of Time" or "The Doom that Came to Sarnath." 
20/02/2008 04:36:53 ‹James Jacobs› Or any of the others. 
20/02/2008 04:36:58 ‹Mad Geologist› Charles Dexter Ward?  THe Call o Cthulhu? 
20/02/2008 04:37:09 ‹James Jacobs› Those too are awesome. 
20/02/2008 04:37:21 ‹James Jacobs› Have anyone here seen the silent movie version of "Call of Cthulhu?" 
20/02/2008 04:37:33 ‹Mad Geologist› No 
20/02/2008 04:37:40 ‹Jason Bulmahn› It is fantastic... 
20/02/2008 04:37:42 ‹Rambling Scribe›  
20/02/2008 04:37:44 ‹Mad Geologist› What year was it? 
20/02/2008 04:37:44 ‹tensor› not yet 
20/02/2008 04:37:45 ‹DMcCoy1693› ummmm negative 
20/02/2008 04:37:51 ‹tensor› 2007, I think 
20/02/2008 04:38:03 ‹Jason Bulmahn› One of the best renditions of HPLs work that I have seen 
20/02/2008 04:38:06 ‹Moth› nope, havent seen it 
20/02/2008 04:38:10 ‹James Jacobs› I own a replica of the Angel Box from that movie. The box the narrator finds in his uncle's possession that contains all the news clippings and ship's logs and clay carvings and maps and other stuff that allowed him to colate the rise of Cthulhu. 
20/02/2008 04:38:14 ‹James Jacobs› It's incredible. 
20/02/2008 04:38:26 ‹James Jacobs› The movie is probably the best film adaptation of Lovecraft I've seen, in fact. 
20/02/2008 04:39:11 ‹James Jacobs› Wyvern> Sorry... Lovecraft fugue... Yeah, this Gen Con or there abouts we hope to have the Hardcover Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting book for sale. 
20/02/2008 04:39:11 ‹DMcCoy1693› night all 
20/02/2008 04:39:24 ‹Mad Geologist› Goodnight DMcCoy1693 
20/02/2008 04:39:28 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: AWESOME! 
20/02/2008 04:39:29 * DMcCoy1693 quit 
20/02/2008 04:39:41 ‹Daigle› Goodnight DM 
20/02/2008 04:39:45 ‹James Jacobs› Moth> Nope; no look yet for the aboleth. They'll look like 3-eyed fish with tentacles, though. 
20/02/2008 04:39:47 ‹Atrocious› The silent movie adaptation of Call of Cthulu is from 2005 by the way. 
20/02/2008 04:39:52 ‹Atrocious› http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...film%29 
20/02/2008 04:39:54 * Daigle is always too slow 
20/02/2008 04:39:55 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Wow.. I thought that was more common knowledge.. guess not.. shows what I know 
20/02/2008 04:40:08 ‹tensor› Here is my incomplete list of Cthulhu movies, for those of same kind:  Lurking Fear (1994); Witch Hunt (HBO 1994); Necronimocon (1993); The Resurrected (1991);  Cthulhu Mansion (1990); Bride of Re-Animator (1990);  The UnNamable (198; The Relic (1997);  The Curse (1987); From Beyond (1986); Re-Animator (1985); The Music of Erich Zann (1980); The Dunwich Horror (1970); The Shuttered Room (196; 
20/02/2008 04:40:16 ‹James Jacobs› Lurking Fear was TERRIBLE. 
20/02/2008 04:40:36 ‹James Jacobs› Witch Hunt wasn't based on Lovecraft beyond having a detective named Lovecraft. 
20/02/2008 04:40:42 ‹James Jacobs› Necronomicon was bad. 
20/02/2008 04:40:49 ‹James Jacobs› The Resurrected was actually really pretty good. 
20/02/2008 04:41:03 ‹James Jacobs› Cthulhu Manison wasn't Lovecraft beyond the title... PLUS it's a horrible, wretched movie. 
20/02/2008 04:41:16 ‹James Jacobs› Bride of Re-Animator's okay, but a little cheesy now. 
20/02/2008 04:41:19 ‹tensor› there is a *new* re-animator movie out, but I havn't seen it yet.  maybe it will be a Monday Night Movie Chat. 
20/02/2008 04:41:25 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Oh god.. somebody flipped the switch.. run... run you fools.. RUN 
20/02/2008 04:41:31 ‹tensor› "Beyond Re-animator" 
20/02/2008 04:41:32 ‹Jason Bulmahn›  
20/02/2008 04:41:45 ‹James Jacobs› The Unnamable is not bad. Super low budget and terrilbe acting, but a great monster suit. 
20/02/2008 04:42:01 ‹James Jacobs› The Relic isn't really Lovecraft either, but it IS Lovecraftian. It's pretty good. 
20/02/2008 04:42:02 ‹Rambling Scribe› There was a pilot for a show that never aired called "Cast a Deadly spell" That also featured a detective named lovecraft. It was fun. 
20/02/2008 04:42:27 ‹James Jacobs› The Curse stars WIL WHEATON! It's an uncredited version of Colour Out of Space. It's, alas, not that great. 
20/02/2008 04:43:00 ‹James Jacobs› From Beyond is really pretty good; especially considering they adapted the entire short story before the opening credits rolled! But it's a pretty good expansion of the basic ideas of the story. 
20/02/2008 04:43:07 ‹tensor› SciFi recently made Dagon - i think that was the title. 
20/02/2008 04:43:18 * ephealy quit 
20/02/2008 04:43:25 * Samwise joins Main 
20/02/2008 04:43:30 ‹Hill Giant› Comment from IMDB: "Blatant Attemtpt to Cash In the Upcoming Tori Spelling Chtulu Movie" Gotta love the internet 
20/02/2008 04:43:34 ‹Daigle› Howdy Sam 
20/02/2008 04:43:41 ‹James Jacobs› Re-Animator's actually tied, I think, with the silent Call of Cthulhu for Best. Although since it's acutally one of Lovecraft's worst stories... that weirds it out a bit... 
20/02/2008 04:43:51 ‹James Jacobs› Music of Erich Zann I haven't seen 
20/02/2008 04:44:07 ‹James Jacobs› Actually... I have. There's been dozens of shorts of that story. It's an easy one to film. 
20/02/2008 04:44:15 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs or Jason Bulmahn: Any sign of Golem T-Shirts? Harrow deck? 
20/02/2008 04:44:45 ‹Samwise› yo 
20/02/2008 04:44:51 ‹James Jacobs› The Dunwich Horror (starring DEAN STOCKWELL as Wilbur Whatley!) was actually pretty okay; it's VERY dated now, and takes some huge liberties with the story, but it's not a total loss. Great music. AND: Filmed only 45 minutes north of where I grew up! 
20/02/2008 04:45:00 ‹James Jacobs› The Shuttered Room I haven't seen!  
20/02/2008 04:45:07 ‹James Jacobs› Beyond Re-Animator was terrible 
20/02/2008 04:45:20 * Takasi joins Main 
20/02/2008 04:45:31 ‹Takasi› greetings 
20/02/2008 04:45:33 ‹James Jacobs› Dagon wasn't made by SciFi; it was made by Stuart Gordon, the same guy who did From Beyond and Reanimator. It's one of the best adaptations, in fact. 
20/02/2008 04:45:36 ‹Daigle› Howdy Takasi 
20/02/2008 04:45:46 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Greetings 
20/02/2008 04:46:03 ‹Mad Geologist› James Jacobs: Takasi, you paizocon joint organiser has arrived! 
20/02/2008 04:46:21 ‹James Jacobs› Just in time for the WIND DOWN of James' babble about Lovecraft movies! 
20/02/2008 04:46:30 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Lilith> No word, that I know of, on the T-Shirts, and the Harrow deck is still out at the printers... but we are hoping to get it soon.. I believe 
20/02/2008 04:46:36 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Sweet! 
20/02/2008 04:46:39 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Critical Failure deck? 
20/02/2008 04:46:39 ‹Moth› hi Takasi 
20/02/2008 04:46:50 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Also still out at the printer... 
20/02/2008 04:46:58 ‹Rambling Scribe› Actually I have a question about Cthulhu movies... 
20/02/2008 04:47:02 ‹Jason Bulmahn› That one will take a bit longer than Harrow I am afraid... 
20/02/2008 04:47:07 ‹James Jacobs› I have answers, Scribe! 
20/02/2008 04:47:23 ‹Rambling Scribe› I saw a movie that was at least somewhat Mythos based when I was a kid, and don't know what it was. 
20/02/2008 04:47:31 ‹James Jacobs› I bet I can tell you what it was! 
20/02/2008 04:47:36 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Jason Bulmahn: Bummer dude! 
20/02/2008 04:47:37 ‹James Jacobs› Describe it! 
20/02/2008 04:47:47 ‹Rambling Scribe› The main thing I remember is one of the characters almost gets swallowed by an interdimensional horror. 
20/02/2008 04:47:59 ‹James Jacobs› Poltergeist? 
20/02/2008 04:48:06 ‹Hill Giant› Howard the Duck? 
20/02/2008 04:48:07 ‹Rambling Scribe› And when  it vanishes, he falls to the floor, but his hair has dissolved. 
20/02/2008 04:48:11 ‹James Jacobs› OH! 
20/02/2008 04:48:15 ‹James Jacobs› Yup! That was "From Beyond." 
20/02/2008 04:48:26 ‹Jason Bulmahn› It should also be noted that James is a fan of the collected letters of HPL, the novella containing his collected grocery lists, and a 12 part encyclopedic series of books containing his favorite popeye comics... 
20/02/2008 04:48:29 ‹Jason Bulmahn›  
20/02/2008 04:48:31 ‹Rambling Scribe› I also remmeber that everyone dies except one girl who is crippled and goes insane. 
20/02/2008 04:48:54 ‹James Jacobs› From Beyond just came out on DVD a few months ago, restored with a few "lost scenes" reinstated to the movie. 
20/02/2008 04:49:03 ‹James Jacobs› Yup. 100% sure that's From Beyond. 
20/02/2008 04:49:15 ‹Rambling Scribe› I read a bunch of HPL's original letters in an archives I worked at. Unfortunately there was nothing exciting there. 
20/02/2008 04:49:16 ‹James Jacobs› AND: Yes. Lovecraft's letters are fascinating. 
20/02/2008 04:49:18 ‹Takasi› I saw Damon a few months ago  
20/02/2008 04:49:26 ‹Rambling Scribe› Thanks James! 
20/02/2008 04:49:36 ‹James Jacobs› Matt Damon? Did you get his autograph? 
20/02/2008 04:49:48 ‹James Jacobs› McArtor would pay HUNDREDS for his autograph! 
20/02/2008 04:50:00 ‹Mad Geologist› James Jacobs: It's not Cthulhu, but have you ever seen 'Quatermass and the Pit'? 
20/02/2008 04:50:33 ‹Rambling Scribe› And scrolling back I see James says FRom Beyond was pretty good. I will have to see it again. 
20/02/2008 04:50:46 ‹tensor› I think "The Descent" was inspired by the authors DnD experiences. 
20/02/2008 04:50:46 ‹James Jacobs› Mad Geo> YES! I've seen all the Quatermass movies (not the original BBC versions, alas). They're VERY Lovecraftian, though, even if they don't actually use the Names. 
20/02/2008 04:51:29 ‹James Jacobs› I even have soundtracks for the Quartermass movies on my iTunes. 
20/02/2008 04:51:36 ‹Atrocious› James, Does Golarion have a R'lyeh like city somewhere in the deep ocean? 
20/02/2008 04:51:43 ‹James Jacobs› Yup. 
20/02/2008 04:51:46 ‹James Jacobs› Several. 
20/02/2008 04:51:54 ‹Mad Geologist› I saw Quatermass and the Pit with the alien artifact found at underground line excavations a couple of months back; I think that it was one of the scariest movies that I've seen for a long time. 
20/02/2008 04:52:09 ‹James Jacobs› There's lots of sunken cities in Golarion. Especially since we had an entire continent sink 10K years back. 
20/02/2008 04:52:17 ‹Mad Geologist› Despite teh black and white, lack of general gore, or CGIs... 
20/02/2008 04:52:22 ‹Daigle› Who would you have play the part of Eando Kline in a pathfinder movie? 
20/02/2008 04:52:32 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: Aboleth cities? (You mentioned them before...) 
20/02/2008 04:52:57 ‹James Jacobs› The special effects in that movie have NOT aged well... but the writing and acting and everything else are riveting. I just saw it for the first time when it came out on DVD about 6 years ago, and found it to be VERY good. 
20/02/2008 04:53:06 ‹Wyvern› He'd have to be a voice over only me thinks. 
20/02/2008 04:53:07 ‹James Jacobs› Yes. There are Aboleth cities. We mention one in Pathfinder 2. 
20/02/2008 04:53:10 ‹Mad Geologist›  
20/02/2008 04:53:49 ‹Takasi› I have a random Shackled City question 
20/02/2008 04:54:15 ‹James Jacobs› Eando Kline? I'd like him to be played by Ray Stevenson. "Pullo" from HBO's "Rome." 
20/02/2008 04:54:33 ‹Takasi› I have a friend who's running it, he was asking about additional encounters in Occipitus for the Test of the Smoking Eye, his party left and came back, I'm not running it so I don't know much about it 
20/02/2008 04:54:36 ‹Mad Geologist› :James Jacobs: You mentioned aboleths in association with 'At the Mountains of madness'; does that mean that you see tyhem in a sort of 'old ones' role, and perhaps the Golarion ones not so evil and dominating as they are in other settings. 
20/02/2008 04:54:48 ‹James Jacobs› BUT: If the studio wanted a "BIGGER NAME" I'd probably go with John Cusack. 
20/02/2008 04:55:29 ‹Daigle› Cusack..nice 
20/02/2008 04:55:33 ‹James Jacobs› Mad Geo> Yeah; I see the aboleths in an 'old ones' role, and humanity and most of life as their accidental experiment that got out of hand and rebelled and caused them to recede into the deeps. 
20/02/2008 04:55:53 ‹James Jacobs› Occipitus encounters! 
20/02/2008 04:56:13 ‹James Jacobs› There's plenty of ideas littered in Fiendish Codex I for more Occipitus encounters. 
20/02/2008 04:56:44 ‹Takasi› I have that in my hot little hands, I suggested armanites to him, but was looking for other good stuff too 
20/02/2008 04:56:57 ‹James Jacobs› But as for more, fleshed out, ready to go additional encounters? Don't got none. 
20/02/2008 04:57:09 ‹tensor› goodnight everybody.  it is a new day in 4 minutes. 
20/02/2008 04:57:16 ‹James Jacobs› Fallen fiendish warped angels might be fun though. 
20/02/2008 04:57:18 ‹Daigle› Goodnight tensor 
20/02/2008 04:57:19 * Wolfshead quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 04:57:35 ‹James Jacobs› OR: Maybe the priests of Wee Jas who you encounter in the maze have a larger encampent somewhere on the plane. 
20/02/2008 04:57:46 ‹James Jacobs› Seeya tensor! 
20/02/2008 04:57:53 ‹Takasi› night tensor 
20/02/2008 04:58:01 ‹Mad Geologist› James Jacobs: Are you likely to be working with the winner (whoever that turns out to be) of the RPG Superstar contest, or is that more likely to be Erik's project. 
20/02/2008 04:58:03 ‹Mad Geologist› ? 
20/02/2008 04:58:08 ‹Mad Geologist› Goodnight Tensor. 
20/02/2008 04:58:12 * tensor quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 04:58:38 ‹Atrocious› New day? It's 6 AM over here... 
20/02/2008 04:58:51 ‹James Jacobs› All of the four finalists of the RPG superstar contests can likely eventually expect me to contact them for Pathfinder stuff. You don't get to that point amid that level of competition without having serious designer chops. 
20/02/2008 04:59:22 ‹Moth› Takasi: there was a thread on the messageboards with additional Occipitus encounters - some of them pretty good. I'll see if I can find it and post a link 
20/02/2008 04:59:47 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: You mentioned something in last week's chat about CRAZY PLANS concerning the Second Darkness adventure path. Care to share your crazy thoughts? 
20/02/2008 04:59:49 * Mad Geologist quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 05:00:00 ‹Takasi› thanks Moth and James, I'll forward to him 
05:02:24 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Ooh, killed the room!  
20/02/2008 05:02:43 * Daigle shakes the place. 
20/02/2008 05:02:46 ‹Mad Geologist› No.   just had to rfresh my page. 
20/02/2008 05:02:49 * Takasi takes its stuff. 
20/02/2008 05:02:53 ‹James Jacobs› I'm back! I was just talking to Wes over in his cube for a bit about Korvosa's plague and the aftereffects. 
20/02/2008 05:03:03 ‹Daigle› Nice move, Takasi! 
20/02/2008 05:03:04 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Oof, you still at work? 
20/02/2008 05:03:11 ‹Chat Summary Lilith›  
20/02/2008 05:03:14 ‹James Jacobs› OK! Crazy Plans for Second Darkness. (Yup! Work work work!) 
20/02/2008 05:03:33 * Chat Summary Lilith makes cookies for James Jacobs and Wes and Jason Bulmahn!      
20/02/2008 05:03:42 ‹James Jacobs› I'm considering putting in 8 page mini-adventures to supplement the region the adventure takes place. 
20/02/2008 05:03:55 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› More like encounters? 
20/02/2008 05:03:59 ‹James Jacobs› I'm shortening the length of the main adventure from 50 pages to 40 pages. 
20/02/2008 05:04:11 * Chat Summary Lilith checks her notes... 
20/02/2008 05:04:12 ‹Takasi› you know my feeling, I'd prefer another gazetteer 
20/02/2008 05:04:13 ‹Daigle› Sounds rad. 
20/02/2008 05:04:20 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› So the 8-page mini adventures are a go? 
20/02/2008 05:04:25 ‹Pygon› so we still get 48 pages of advanture materials? 
20/02/2008 05:04:26 ‹James Jacobs› Yeah; extended encounters. The Graul homestead from Hook Mountain is a great example. 
20/02/2008 05:04:37 ‹James Jacobs› yes. The total number of adventure materials is not changing. 
20/02/2008 05:04:41 ‹Moth› Takasi: Try this thread: http://paizo.com/dungeon/messa...venture 
20/02/2008 05:04:44 ‹Pygon› ok that sounds good 
20/02/2008 05:04:53 ‹James Jacobs› There'll be a gazetteer of some sort in every one of the Second Darkness Pathfinders. 
20/02/2008 05:04:53 ‹Wyvern› That sounds very instersting. 
20/02/2008 05:04:58 ‹Moth› Takasi: and this one: http://paizo.com/dungeon/messa...venture 
20/02/2008 05:05:30 ‹Takasi› neat, thanks Moth! 
20/02/2008 05:05:32 ‹James Jacobs› There's also going to be a larger "science fiction" element in Second Darkness than people are expecting, I think. We won't have lasers or robots, though. 
20/02/2008 05:06:04 ‹Mad Geologist› Invaders from other planets.... 
20/02/2008 05:06:06 ‹Pygon› mutant frogs? 
20/02/2008 05:06:08 ‹Takasi› example of sci-fi James? 
20/02/2008 05:06:10 ‹Daigle› How sci fi? 
20/02/2008 05:06:14 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Ooh! That reminds me...Planets? Planes? 
20/02/2008 05:06:15 ‹Moth› What sort of science fiction goodness? 
20/02/2008 05:06:18 ‹Blazej› Not lasers or robots. 
20/02/2008 05:06:19 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Oh.. i should remove those from my plot then?... ohhh... 
20/02/2008 05:06:27 ‹Moth› Lasers AND robots! 
20/02/2008 05:06:30 ‹James Jacobs› OH! We got in the sketch for the female barbarian iconic for Pathfinder #10 today! She's HOT! She needs a little more armor though. 
20/02/2008 05:06:32 ‹Blazej› What about lasers and.. 
20/02/2008 05:06:38 ‹Blazej› Dang it Moth! 
20/02/2008 05:06:40 ‹Moth› no - no more armour! 
20/02/2008 05:06:42 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Jason Bulmahn: Are you writing an adventure for AP #3? 
20/02/2008 05:06:45 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Says you.. I think less armor would be could 
20/02/2008 05:06:48 ‹James Jacobs› He is! 
20/02/2008 05:06:51 ‹Moth› Sorry Blazej - ruined your punch line 
20/02/2008 05:06:52 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: Barbarian iconic! Awesome! 
20/02/2008 05:06:53 ‹James Jacobs› (I hope!) 
20/02/2008 05:06:54 ‹Jason Bulmahn› good.. not could... oops.. 
20/02/2008 05:06:56 ‹Moth› or beat you to the punch... 
20/02/2008 05:06:58 ‹Blazej› I. Type. Too. Slow! 
20/02/2008 05:07:05 ‹Jason Bulmahn› I am.. assuming my fingers do not fall off first... 
20/02/2008 05:07:21 ‹Blazej›  
20/02/2008 05:07:53 ‹James Jacobs› As for what kind of science fiction goodness... aliens may make an appearance at one point. 
20/02/2008 05:07:57 ‹Moth› Jason, remind us which one you're writing? (for AP3) 
20/02/2008 05:08:14 ‹Takasi› I'm very much looking forward to the Korvosa guide 
20/02/2008 05:08:28 ‹Jason Bulmahn› I am writing #3... of the AP3 arch.. which would be Pathfinder #15 
20/02/2008 05:08:35 ‹Takasi› I hope Second Darkness has something similar for Golarion's underdark 
20/02/2008 05:08:37 ‹Moth› hmmm - are Aboleths aliens? Or native to Golarion? Or that's not ready to be revealed yet? 
20/02/2008 05:08:50 ‹James Jacobs› That's not yet revealed. 
20/02/2008 05:08:57 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: Ties to Desna? 
20/02/2008 05:09:02 ‹James Jacobs› Maybe. 
20/02/2008 05:09:06 ‹Daigle› Werd 
20/02/2008 05:09:17 ‹James Jacobs› "Starmetal" will have a certain role in "Second Darkness" as well. 
20/02/2008 05:09:41 ‹Rambling Scribe› Tell us about Starmetal. 
20/02/2008 05:09:45 ‹Rambling Scribe› Please. 
20/02/2008 05:10:07 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Yes. 
20/02/2008 05:10:08 ‹Jason Bulmahn› AHAHAAHAAHHHHHHHHHH! 
20/02/2008 05:10:09 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Please. 
20/02/2008 05:10:13 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Sorry... 
20/02/2008 05:10:14 * Chat Summary Lilith gives out cookies.  
20/02/2008 05:10:26 * Takasi changes his/her nickname to Takasi prepping Burning Sky 
20/02/2008 05:10:39 ‹Rambling Scribe› Is it the same Starmetal as used for a PrC in one of the splatbooks? I'm assuming not... 
20/02/2008 05:11:02 ‹James Jacobs› It can't be the same starmetal from a PrC in a WotC book. 
20/02/2008 05:11:11 ‹Mad Geologist› Sudden thought, James acobs:  Do Aboleths fly, if they are an extension of the Old Ones? 
20/02/2008 05:11:41 ‹Wyvern› Isn't starmetal the material Roy's sword is made off? (Roy from OotS) 
20/02/2008 05:11:48 ‹Moth› Scribe: Wasn't that called Greenstar metal or something? 
20/02/2008 05:11:54 ‹Rambling Scribe› Wyvern: True 
20/02/2008 05:11:59 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› Psionics in Second Darkness? 
20/02/2008 05:12:03 ‹Rambling Scribe› Moth: Maybe. 
20/02/2008 05:12:04 ‹James Jacobs› Aboleths can't fly. Except for the rare and mysterious uobilyths, but they're in the Lords of Madness book on page 20 and therefore, technically, out of our reach. 
20/02/2008 05:12:07 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Ooh! Psionics!  
20/02/2008 05:12:16 ‹James Jacobs› No psionics in Second Darkness. yet. 
20/02/2008 05:12:18 ‹Moth› out of reach cos they can fly 
20/02/2008 05:12:30 * The Last Rogue joins Main 
20/02/2008 05:12:31 * Chat Summary Lilith sniffles at James Jacobs.  
20/02/2008 05:12:47 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› Time Travel in Second Darkness? 
20/02/2008 05:12:47 ‹Daigle› Rogue-ster! 
20/02/2008 05:12:52 * Rambling Scribe is flat-footed. 
20/02/2008 05:12:53 ‹The Last Rogue› Hi all 
20/02/2008 05:13:01 ‹Daigle› Time travel? 
20/02/2008 05:13:01 ‹Moth› Sup Rogue? 
20/02/2008 05:13:12 ‹Mad Geologist› James Joacbs: so invent a Golarion based Aboleth of your own which can fly!  You said told us how much you love to create monsters earlier this evening. 
20/02/2008 05:13:19 * Ison quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 05:13:22 * The Last Rogue refuses to take the easy target. The Last Rogue will wait for a more challenging time 
20/02/2008 05:13:31 ‹The Last Rogue› Hi Moth, Scribe 
20/02/2008 05:13:35 ‹The Last Rogue› Daigle 
20/02/2008 05:13:40 ‹James Jacobs› Time Travel has to be handled VERY CAREFULLY if it appears. 
20/02/2008 05:14:17 * Daigle has been plagued with time-travel thoughts recently. 
20/02/2008 05:14:29 ‹The Last Rogue› So, I backed out of Pathfinder (time, money) and kept GameMastery . . .then all of a damn sudden there is thief w/ croc, chase rules, cool looking doctors! 
20/02/2008 05:14:36 ‹Moth› Everyone has there own take on what should and shouldnt be possible with time travel (just witness the time travel threads on off topic...) 
20/02/2008 05:15:15 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› Spaceships in Second Darkness? 
20/02/2008 05:15:15 * James Sutter joins Main 
20/02/2008 05:15:17 ‹Daigle› Don't you feel silly now, TLR?  
20/02/2008 05:15:22 ‹The Last Rogue› I know! 
20/02/2008 05:15:24 ‹James Jacobs› I do like inventing monsters. But the appeal to me of the aboleth is the fact that they're slimy fish monsters. That doesn't mesh well with flying. 
20/02/2008 05:15:25 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Sutter!  
20/02/2008 05:15:26 ‹Moth› Hi James 
20/02/2008 05:15:26 ‹Daigle› Howdy Sutter 
20/02/2008 05:15:29 ‹James Jacobs› No spaceships in Second Darkness. 
20/02/2008 05:15:32 * Chat Summary Lilith runs over and glomps James Sutter.  
20/02/2008 05:15:35 ‹James Sutter› Hello, internet friends. 
20/02/2008 05:15:35 ‹The Last Rogue› They are going to make me come crawling back 
20/02/2008 05:16:02 ‹James Sutter› What's crackin'? 
20/02/2008 05:16:05 ‹The Last Rogue› Maybe if I threaten JJ with a particularly cruel sneak attack he can give us some more insight into the chase rules . . . 
20/02/2008 05:16:07 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› Tractor Beams?  Death Stars?  Rocket Packs? 
20/02/2008 05:16:07 ‹Wyvern› Hey James 
20/02/2008 05:16:11 ‹Moth› Yeah rogue, this Crimson Throne stuff looks pretty sweet 
20/02/2008 05:16:16 ‹James Jacobs› No Tractor Beams. No Rocket Packs. 
20/02/2008 05:16:16 * Mad Geologist wonders who James Sutter is???  Evidently someone generally well known. 
20/02/2008 05:16:21 ‹James Sutter› What's crackin'? 
20/02/2008 05:16:21 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Oh man.. they will let anyone on here.... 
20/02/2008 05:16:25 ‹James Jacobs› No Death Stars. 
20/02/2008 05:16:27 ‹Moth› Ah! Death Stars! 
20/02/2008 05:16:30 ‹Moth› oh... 
20/02/2008 05:16:35 ‹The Last Rogue› Moth - the Doctors . . look AWESOME 
20/02/2008 05:16:39 ‹Jason Bulmahn› No Death Stars... there went my second plot idea... 
20/02/2008 05:16:40 ‹James Jacobs› BUT: The name for the first adventure should give a hint: "Shadow in the Sky." 
20/02/2008 05:16:45 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Mad Geologist: James Sutter is a part of the Paizo staff.  
20/02/2008 05:16:48 * Sir Wulf joins Main 
20/02/2008 05:16:55 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Sir Wulf!   
20/02/2008 05:16:56 ‹James Jacobs› No Death Stars... but there ARE Muder Suns! 
20/02/2008 05:16:56 ‹James Sutter› I love how everytime I come in 3 people go "Sutter!" and one goes "who the heck is Sutter?" 
20/02/2008 05:16:58 ‹James Sutter›  
20/02/2008 05:17:00 ‹Daigle› Wulf! 
20/02/2008 05:17:01 ‹Mad Geologist› Ah.  You just gave him his golem... 
20/02/2008 05:17:14 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› Chicken Little? 
20/02/2008 05:17:17 ‹Mad Geologist› When I first looked he had no golem, otherwise I might have worked it out. 
20/02/2008 05:17:22 * Sir Wulf stomps mud off of his boots. 
20/02/2008 05:17:26 ‹Wyvern› So there are gonna be shadows then!! I wonder where in the world? 
20/02/2008 05:17:32 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Sir Wulf: I take it Estrella was messy then? 
20/02/2008 05:17:40 ‹James Jacobs› Chicken Little would have a lot to be worried about during Second Darkness. 
20/02/2008 05:17:40 ‹Mad Geologist› Sir Wulf: How is your RotR game going? 
20/02/2008 05:17:46 ‹James Sutter› I'm an editor, along with the rest of these chuckleheads... 
20/02/2008 05:17:49 ‹Moth› That's cos you don't come here often enough Sutter 
20/02/2008 05:18:19 ‹James Sutter› I may have to sign out and come back.... 
20/02/2008 05:18:19 ‹James Jacobs› This makes two weeks in a row, thougH! 
20/02/2008 05:18:23 ‹James Jacobs› woah... giant H 
20/02/2008 05:18:23 ‹Moth› So ... the BBEG is Mr Burns .... 
20/02/2008 05:18:28 ‹James Sutter› Ack. 
20/02/2008 05:18:33 * Timitius joins Main 
20/02/2008 05:18:38 ‹James Jacobs› Chase rules, Huh Last Rogue? 
20/02/2008 05:18:39 ‹Rambling Scribe› Hey, I may be a chucklehead, but I'm no editor! 
20/02/2008 05:18:40 ‹James Sutter› BRB 
20/02/2008 05:18:40 ‹James Sutter› Are other people having lag issues? 
20/02/2008 05:18:52 ‹Daigle› Howdy Tim 
20/02/2008 05:18:53 ‹Moth› not really 
20/02/2008 05:18:53 ‹The Last Rogue› Yup 
20/02/2008 05:18:56 ‹James Jacobs› I am. 
20/02/2008 05:18:57 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Sutter: It's usually that way once you log in...it gets better. 
20/02/2008 05:19:01 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› TIMMEH! 
20/02/2008 05:19:03 ‹The Last Rogue› I love me some chases . . .you know us rogues  . . .always running 
20/02/2008 05:19:04 ‹Timitius› Heya everyone! 
20/02/2008 05:19:05 ‹James Jacobs› No I'm not! Is all good now! 
20/02/2008 05:19:10 ‹Sir Wulf› Hello!  I have returned from the fields of Estrella, where relentless rain allowed us a better understanding of mud in historical warfare. 
20/02/2008 05:19:13 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› Hey there Tim Tim 
20/02/2008 05:19:19 ‹James Jacobs› What do you want to know about the Chase rules? 
20/02/2008 05:19:27 ‹Timitius› Timmeh!  Timmeh! 
20/02/2008 05:19:28 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Timitius: Ready to face the demons tomorrow Timitius? 
20/02/2008 05:19:36 ‹The Last Rogue› What do you feel like divulging?   
20/02/2008 05:19:40 ‹James Jacobs› The chase scene in the adventure's like 2 pages long, so I can't really reprint them word for word here. 
20/02/2008 05:19:42 * Chat Summary Lilith whispers to Sir Wulf, "You have a private message..." 
20/02/2008 05:19:42 ‹Moth› Rogue: The doctors do indeed look awesome - bit of a spin out that the uniform is based on actual bubonic plague "proof" garb! 
20/02/2008 05:19:53 ‹Timitius› Chat Summary Lilith: Do you have Xfire up and running? 
20/02/2008 05:19:55 ‹The Last Rogue› Is it a set of skill checks based on obstacles 
20/02/2008 05:19:58 ‹The Last Rogue› ? 
20/02/2008 05:20:13 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Wow... if we could just get Stephen, Mearls, and Mike in here, we could convene my old Eberron game again.. we got half the group already... 
20/02/2008 05:20:16 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› are the chase rules narrative or tactical? 
20/02/2008 05:20:17 ‹Moth› Hey Wulf 
20/02/2008 05:20:18 ‹Atrocious› James: Have you decided on how daemons fit into Golarion? 
20/02/2008 05:20:25 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› do you use a battlemat during the chase scene? 
20/02/2008 05:20:34 ‹Moth› Jason: I'll play 
20/02/2008 05:20:38 ‹James Jacobs› But basically... you lay out the chase "board" with a number of pieces of paper. Each paper has 2 skill checks on it. You can move one square for free as a move action, or you can try ONE of the skill checks as a full-round action to move 2. If you make TWO skill checks as a full-round action, you move 3. If you fail a check, you don't move at all (or might even fall off the roof). 
20/02/2008 05:20:38 ‹Timitius› Takasi: Hey Tak, how's it going? 
20/02/2008 05:20:39 ‹Moth›  
20/02/2008 05:20:43 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Timitius: Will before I go to bed tonight. 
20/02/2008 05:20:49 ‹Mad Geologist› Jason: I think Mr. mearls putting in an appearance would certainly provoke a reaction! 
20/02/2008 05:21:04 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› not too bad Tim 
20/02/2008 05:21:05 * mortellan joins Main 
20/02/2008 05:21:12 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› That would be AWESOME if I could get a WotC staffer in here. 
20/02/2008 05:21:23 ‹Daigle› Howdy mortellan 
20/02/2008 05:21:28 ‹James Jacobs› Moth> Yeah; the plague doctor outfit is pretty much a DIRECT rip off of the outfits the actual doctors wore during the Black Death. 
20/02/2008 05:21:30 * mortellan fills in? 
20/02/2008 05:21:40 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› mortellan!  
20/02/2008 05:21:41 ‹Wyvern› Mort! 
20/02/2008 05:21:51 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Lilith> I think the chances are a bit slim... 
20/02/2008 05:21:54 ‹James Jacobs› As for WotC staffers... I'm pretty sure none of them know this thing even exists. 
20/02/2008 05:21:55 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› will the plague spread beyond Korvosa? 
20/02/2008 05:21:58 ‹mortellan› hey all 
20/02/2008 05:22:03 ‹James Jacobs› AND: It would be weird and awkward. 
20/02/2008 05:22:07 ‹Moth› hey Mort 
20/02/2008 05:22:20 ‹Mad Geologist› Why would it be weird and awkward? 
20/02/2008 05:22:22 ‹The Last Rogue› Jacobs - sounds cool.  I look forward to it, love chases (especially if it is the PCs on the run) 
20/02/2008 05:22:31 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi> The plague won't spread beyond Korvosa really, not as a pandemic, at least. Especially not if the PCs help stop it. 
20/02/2008 05:22:45 ‹Timitius› Wow.  Sutter, Jacobs, and Bulmahn...here?  Unreal! 
20/02/2008 05:22:56 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Timitius: Tewtally. 
20/02/2008 05:22:57 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› are there alternate universes in Golarion? 
20/02/2008 05:22:58 ‹Moth› Doctor J: What source(s) did you guys use to find those uniforms? I have never seen anything like them in my (admittedly brief) research into the black death 
20/02/2008 05:23:00 ‹Jason Bulmahn› James> That it would.. that it would.. and I would tell them to leave, go back to Wotc and send me the GSL already.. all other entertainments are a distraction.... 
20/02/2008 05:23:02 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Sutter: Whatchoo working on? 
20/02/2008 05:23:21 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Although if I said that to mearls.. he would just mumble something about Boba Fett and ignore me.. as usual.. 
20/02/2008 05:23:31 ‹Sir Wulf› Mad Geologist>  The second group's game got off to a rollicking start, with highlights that included the half-ogre barbarian successfully trying out for the male lead in"the harpy's curse" (He tolled a succession of 19s and 20s), causing the Magnamarian diva playing the Harpy Queen's role to become quite incensed. 
20/02/2008 05:23:31 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi> If by "alternate universes" you mean parallel worlds... yes. 
20/02/2008 05:23:36 ‹Moth› Boba Fett? 
20/02/2008 05:23:41 ‹James Sutter› Me? At work - Pathfinder. At home - fleshing out Belkzen, our orc nation/region. 
20/02/2008 05:23:51 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Moth: Its a long story 
20/02/2008 05:23:52 ‹James Sutter› Just finished the map last night/this morning... really excited about it. 
20/02/2008 05:23:59 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› I think a neat adventure, at some point in GameMastery, would be a one-shot that goes into the "What if every single adventurer fails" parallel world 
20/02/2008 05:24:20 ‹Jason Bulmahn› brb... 
20/02/2008 05:24:21 ‹James Jacobs› Moth> Wikipedia, mostly. The internet. Do a Google search for "plague doctor" and you'll get all sorts of cool hits. 
20/02/2008 05:24:29 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› all the APs, all the GameMasterys, and a few other catastrophes 
20/02/2008 05:24:34 ‹Moth› JAson: I guess ... funny, I had this random thought about Boba Fett in the Sarlac as I was walking to work this morning.... 
20/02/2008 05:24:55 ‹Mad Geologist› Sir Wulf: And the first group?? 
20/02/2008 05:24:56 ‹Moth› James: Ah .... I just read a history book - didnt have pics    
20/02/2008 05:25:13 ‹Timitius› Jason Bulmahn:  Mearls is the Boba Fett of D&D R&D!  That, or a hobo.... 
20/02/2008 05:26:35 ‹Mad Geologist› James Jacobs: So; apart from what the numbers of our credit/debit cards are, so that you can sell us subscriptions, what questions do you, the Pazo staff, have tonight? 
20/02/2008 05:26:38 ‹Wyvern› A book with no pictures? You must be one them smarty-pant types. 
20/02/2008 05:26:49 ‹Timitius› Takasi:  So, did I do good on the arrangements? 
20/02/2008 05:27:01 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› you did EXCELLENT 
20/02/2008 05:27:11 ‹Moth› James Sutter: Anything you can tell us about Belkzen or orcs? 
20/02/2008 05:27:47 ‹Moth› Wyvern: it had some maps and diagrams, if that helps... 
20/02/2008 05:27:59 ‹Timitius› Thanks, Tak.  Things are underway 
20/02/2008 05:28:23 ‹James Jacobs› Mad Geo> Here's a loaded question, and I fear turning the chat room into a frenzy... BUT: How many of you are looking forward to the 4th edition rules versus how many of you are dreading them? 
20/02/2008 05:28:32 ‹Sir Wulf› The first group is currently investigating mysterious doings among the farmers near town, suspecting some sort of murderous cult at work. 
20/02/2008 05:28:36 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› looking forward 
20/02/2008 05:28:47 ‹Wyvern› I'm looking forward to them. 
20/02/2008 05:28:54 ‹Timitius› Paizo Gentlemen:  That event we talked about has a venue, now.  We are stocking up on  for you  now! 
20/02/2008 05:28:55 * Mad Geologist quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 05:29:22 ‹The Last Rogue› JJ - looking forward to them (intrigued) 
20/02/2008 05:29:26 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: Don't really care either way...I dread more what they will do to my freelancing buddies more than anything else, and my favoritest RPG company. 
20/02/2008 05:29:29 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› Cookie beer...mmmmm....Skittlebreu.... 
20/02/2008 05:29:44 ‹James Sutter› Yeah, actually... lesse... some of the locations have names like Blisterwell, Seraph's Ladder, Deepgate, The Algid Wastes.... there's an oracle and a giant dwarven factory where messed up priest-mechanics turn out their war engines, uh.... 
20/02/2008 05:29:46 ‹Moth› James Jacobs: Re 4E: neither looking forward or dreading the rules. Some mild dread on Pathfinder going 4E ... but couldn't care one way or another on the rules 
20/02/2008 05:29:51 * Daigle is with Lilith. 
20/02/2008 05:30:06 ‹Rambling Scribe› I am very curious about 4E and think many of their plans are good if they make them work. But no one in my group wants to switch no matter what. 
20/02/2008 05:30:17 ‹Timitius› Takasi:  Ha!  I sense another POLL!  What beer should we buy at Costco for Paizocon? 
20/02/2008 05:30:23 ‹James Sutter› There are bugs. Lots of bugs. 
20/02/2008 05:30:23 ‹Hill Giant› I'm still wait and see on 4E 
20/02/2008 05:30:25 ‹Mad Geologist› James Jacobs: I'm certainly dreading the cost of all thos rules. 
20/02/2008 05:30:27 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Timitius: The good kind. 
20/02/2008 05:30:39 ‹Mad Geologist› (financial terms) 
20/02/2008 05:30:46 ‹James Sutter› Hm. I'm really not sure what to give away without spoiling too much. 
20/02/2008 05:31:05 ‹Moth› Sutter: Bugs? Bugs are cool.... 
20/02/2008 05:31:10 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Sutter: We love spoilers. 
20/02/2008 05:31:13 ‹Sir Wulf› I'm dreading the need to buy and learn new rules just to "keep up" 
20/02/2008 05:31:25 ‹Timitius› Sutter:  Yes...bugs ARE cool!  
20/02/2008 05:31:32 ‹James Jacobs› Tell them about the Flood Road and the Dust Lake! 
20/02/2008 05:31:38 ‹Daigle› I don't want new rules, but I'm keeping an open mind. 
20/02/2008 05:31:38 ‹James Sutter› I should probably finish writing things before I start spoiling, but rest assured - there'll be plenty of fun locations, whether you like orcs or not. 
20/02/2008 05:31:45 ‹The Last Rogue› Don't get me wrong, I love 3.5, but I am interested in a more "dynamic" version.  The biggest thing for my group is more options . . .4e seems to hint at that. 
20/02/2008 05:31:53 ‹James Sutter› Okay, there's also a giant lake of quicksand called the Dirt Sea, 
20/02/2008 05:32:03 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› I'm running a Realms game in Thar, how similar is Belkzen? 
20/02/2008 05:32:15 ‹James Jacobs› RIGHT! Dirt Sea, not Dust lake. 
20/02/2008 05:32:19 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› is Belkzen like Realms Thar or (gasp) Mystara Thar? 
20/02/2008 05:32:20 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Wow.. I walk away for a bit and James asks a loaded question.. fun.. 
20/02/2008 05:32:20 ‹Moth› Sir Wulf: I hear you - most of the poeple I play with are not going to switch any time soon .... but I kind of fear being out of touch with "the community" by staying with 3.5 
20/02/2008 05:32:48 ‹James Jacobs› HA! Good times, huh Jason? 
20/02/2008 05:32:49 ‹James Sutter› and the primary road through Belkzen is actually a riverbed that floods for about two months a year and brings life to the otherwise pretty barren region. 
20/02/2008 05:32:58 ‹Mad Geologist› All the reviews I have seen so far seem aimed at telling me *what a different* game 4E will be from 3.5.  The exenditure on *acessories* (floor tiles, etc) as a *requirement* to play if I do not make my own, I also dread. 
20/02/2008 05:33:06 ‹James Sutter› There are also battlefields, like the Battle of the Burning Child or the Shadefields, 
20/02/2008 05:33:08 ‹The Last Rogue› My group was initially 3.5.  "We have all the books lets not switch" -- I told them I was buying the 4e books anyways, "Cool. Lets Play!" 
20/02/2008 05:33:12 ‹James Jacobs› NEXT QUESTION: What anime character should Jason dress as for his next convention? 
20/02/2008 05:33:21 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› The Bull-man? 
20/02/2008 05:33:21 ‹Timitius› James Jacobs: So, I'm intrigued by 4e.  I have to believe that folks like Mearls and Stephen are not going to f- it all up.  Yet, I haven't seen it, and probably won't until June.  So I'll wait and see. 
20/02/2008 05:33:22 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Hey now... 
20/02/2008 05:33:23 ‹James Sutter› weird monuments like The Broken Shore or The Keening Hills.... 
20/02/2008 05:33:25 * Chat Summary Lilith ponders... 
20/02/2008 05:33:31 ‹Moth› Astro Boy! 
20/02/2008 05:33:33 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› what influence has WoW had on Belkzen, if any? 
20/02/2008 05:33:35 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi> Probably not like either Thar. 
20/02/2008 05:33:39 ‹Jason Bulmahn› This is not the direction the chat needs to takes... 
20/02/2008 05:33:43 ‹Daigle› Keening Hills....great name. 
20/02/2008 05:33:46 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: The big dude in red armor from Samurai 7. 
20/02/2008 05:33:46 ‹James Sutter› Takasi - > I really don't know anything about Thar. : \ 
20/02/2008 05:33:54 ‹Timitius› Jason should be Hellboy..... 
20/02/2008 05:33:58 ‹Chat Summary Lilith›  
20/02/2008 05:34:03 ‹Jason Bulmahn› I do like Hellboy... 
20/02/2008 05:34:03 ‹James Sutter› I haven't spent a lot of time delving into the Realms. 
20/02/2008 05:34:06 ‹Mad Geologist› As to anime characters, I am an uncivilised barbarian, completely unfamiliar with the genre. 
20/02/2008 05:34:10 ‹James Jacobs› WoW hasn't really done TOO much to influence our take on orcs. They're NOT noble savages for hte most part. They're more like Reavers from Firefly. 
20/02/2008 05:34:14 ‹Wyvern› Mr! 
20/02/2008 05:34:30 ‹Wyvern› From Coyote Ragtime Show. 
20/02/2008 05:34:43 ‹Moth› Reavers from Firefly orcs = awesomeness 
20/02/2008 05:34:45 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› Are they pig mean or ape men? 
20/02/2008 05:34:52 ‹James Sutter› OOH! Last location from Belkzen for the night - Sech Nevali, the Hanging Monastery., 
20/02/2008 05:34:53 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› pig men that is... 
20/02/2008 05:34:57 ‹James Sutter› I'm super excited about that one. 
20/02/2008 05:34:57 ‹Hill Giant› or bull-men? 
20/02/2008 05:34:58 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› orcs: pig or ape? 
20/02/2008 05:34:59 ‹Daigle› Gerbils actually. 
20/02/2008 05:34:59 * Gemma joins Main 
20/02/2008 05:35:05 ‹Daigle› Howdy Gemma 
20/02/2008 05:35:10 ‹James Sutter› More ape than pig, but a little o' both.... 
20/02/2008 05:35:17 ‹Moth› Hi again Gemma 
20/02/2008 05:35:22 ‹Gemma› whats up daigle 
20/02/2008 05:35:23 ‹James Jacobs› My Vote: SAILOR VENUS! DO IT, JASON! You have the same color hair! 
20/02/2008 05:35:25 ‹Gemma› hello moth 
20/02/2008 05:35:25 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Hill Giant> No that is Minotaurs.. they are the Bull Men 
20/02/2008 05:35:28 ‹Timitius› monkey-pigmen 
20/02/2008 05:35:29 * mortellan has never seen firefly nor played WoW 
20/02/2008 05:35:45 ‹Jason Bulmahn› James: You will pay for this tomorrow.. I may break out the star trek fight music 
20/02/2008 05:35:50 ‹Moth› Mort, you have to see Firefly (WoW not so much) 
20/02/2008 05:35:59 ‹Wyvern› Never seen Firefly? You shouldn't say that in public. 
20/02/2008 05:36:05 ‹Wyvern›  
20/02/2008 05:36:08 ‹James Sutter› Firefly = love 
20/02/2008 05:36:10 ‹Timitius› Jason:  Is that the surf Amok Time? 
20/02/2008 05:36:13 ‹Daigle› mort...check it out 
20/02/2008 05:36:14 ‹Samwise› you really should see Firefly 
20/02/2008 05:36:20 ‹Moth› Sutter: The Hanging Monastery sounds good 
20/02/2008 05:36:21 ‹The Last Rogue› WoW is Ok, not what I am looking for 
20/02/2008 05:36:21 ‹mortellan› its amazing how many ppl love that so short lived show 
20/02/2008 05:36:23 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› I liked Firefly before it was cool  
20/02/2008 05:36:24 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Tim: Of course... there is no other 
20/02/2008 05:36:31 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi> They're more like ape men. 
20/02/2008 05:36:37 ‹The Last Rogue› Firefly, I never got into despite everyone telling me I MUST 
20/02/2008 05:36:40 ‹Timitius› Sweeeeet. 
20/02/2008 05:36:56 ‹Jason Bulmahn› I thought firefly was Meh.. before everyone thought it was cool..  
20/02/2008 05:37:00 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Paizonians: Subscriber surprises? What are they! Wants to know! 
20/02/2008 05:37:08 ‹James Jacobs› Jason... no! I don't have the magic to battle your Venus powerz! 
20/02/2008 05:37:23 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› they're not gothy cutters or into bondage and S&M are they? 
20/02/2008 05:37:36 ‹James Sutter› Nah... more just savage and bestial. 
20/02/2008 05:37:39 ‹Moth› Emo Orcs 
20/02/2008 05:37:44 * Burrito joins Main 
20/02/2008 05:37:47 ‹James Jacobs› Firefly is a great show. I suspect made even greater for its limited run... it wasn't around long enough to have a bad episode. 
20/02/2008 05:37:52 ‹Moth› (not to be confused with emohawks) 
20/02/2008 05:37:53 ‹Jason Bulmahn› James: <In my best Nixon imperssonation> Oh.. you'll pay.. oh yes.. you'll pay 
20/02/2008 05:37:58 ‹Daigle› Howdy Burrito 
20/02/2008 05:38:09 ‹James Sutter› Alright, I'm going to bounce and try and get some work done... I'll catch you folks later! 
20/02/2008 05:38:15 ‹Burrito› Oh, wow, there's actual Paizo staff in here? Cool. 
20/02/2008 05:38:18 ‹Timitius› Jason: When James ticks you off do you just lean back and shake his cubicle wall, knocking all his toys down? 
20/02/2008 05:38:23 ‹Mad Geologist› Goodnight James Sutter. 
20/02/2008 05:38:27 * Atrocious quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 05:38:27 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi> No, gothy cutters into bondage and S&M is more up the drows' alley... 
20/02/2008 05:38:28 ‹Moth› Doctor J: Indeed - it certainly went out on a high (Firefly) 
20/02/2008 05:38:32 ‹Mad Geologist› Burrito: Every Tuesday night.... 
20/02/2008 05:38:35 ‹Moth› See you Sutter 
20/02/2008 05:38:38 ‹Wyvern› See ya James 
20/02/2008 05:38:47 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› thanks for stopping by James Sutter 
20/02/2008 05:38:48 ‹Timitius› See you James!  Don't overdo it with the carrot juice again. 
20/02/2008 05:38:48 ‹mortellan› bye sutt 
20/02/2008 05:38:51 ‹Mad Geologist› Burrito: From 20:00PST onwards until the last one leaves. 
20/02/2008 05:38:53 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Sometimes.. yes.. I do take that tactic.. Earthquake Assault is not common and only reserved for the most heinous insults... 
20/02/2008 05:38:59 ‹The Last Rogue› Jacobs are you writing the upcoming Demonomicon: Yeenoghu? 
20/02/2008 05:39:01 ‹James Jacobs› Seeya, Sutter! 
20/02/2008 05:39:05 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› how are orcs like Reavers? 
20/02/2008 05:39:05 ‹Timitius›  
20/02/2008 05:39:05 ‹Daigle› later james 
20/02/2008 05:39:06 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Thanks James Sutter! 
20/02/2008 05:39:08 ‹Mad Geologist› Burrito (Unless they've been dragged away by James to watch Cloverfield) 
20/02/2008 05:39:10 ‹Burrito› That was the great thing about Urban Arcana - it pretty much defined that drow are almost universally emo or goths. 
20/02/2008 05:39:16 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Later Lafond... 
20/02/2008 05:39:29 ‹James Jacobs› Jason better NOT shake my wall! I'll cry! 
20/02/2008 05:39:40 ‹The Last Rogue› Keep up the good work, SUtter 
20/02/2008 05:39:46 ‹James Jacobs› HA! James and his carrot juice! Good times. 
20/02/2008 05:39:48 * James Sutter quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 05:39:55 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Hence reserved for heinous offenses.. James crying is very sad 
20/02/2008 05:40:00 * Gemma quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 05:40:16 ‹Jason Bulmahn› I had forgotten all about the carrot juice incident.. good times 
20/02/2008 05:40:17 ‹James Jacobs› I'm not writing the upcoming Demonomicon for Yeenoghu. I didn't find out about it until I read about it on EN world, in fact. 
20/02/2008 05:40:22 ‹Mad Geologist› Does anyone know where Nick Logue is tonight?  He's usually turned u by now? 
20/02/2008 05:40:34 ‹Jason Bulmahn› For those not in the know.. Sutter turned Orange for a bit.. ad he was overdoing it on the carrot juice... 
20/02/2008 05:40:51 ‹mortellan› what a coincidence, i wont be reading the upcoming Demonomicon of Yeenoghu 
20/02/2008 05:40:53 ‹James Jacobs› ANYway... Jason's got guns and computer-controlled nerf missiles. He doesn't need earthquake tactics. 
20/02/2008 05:41:02 ‹The Last Rogue› Thieves! (the bad kind!) 
20/02/2008 05:41:03 ‹Jason Bulmahn› This true 
20/02/2008 05:41:21 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Weird.. I had the word "is" in there.. stupid chat... 
20/02/2008 05:41:31 ‹Rambling Scribe› Nick does not always show. 
20/02/2008 05:41:39 ‹Timitius› James Jacobs:  AND he's got that Megatron now.....suck it bitches! 
20/02/2008 05:41:47 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› Question:  Did Planet Stories and RPG Superstar kidnap Erik Mona? 
20/02/2008 05:41:49 ‹James Jacobs› I'm VERY curious to see what they do with Yeenoghu in the article... especially since it sounds like it'll use this "Elemental Chaos" nonsense... 
20/02/2008 05:42:00 ‹The Last Rogue› Oh, that's right 
20/02/2008 05:42:03 ‹James Jacobs› No. The Gazetteer kidnapped Erik. 
20/02/2008 05:42:12 ‹The Last Rogue› I wonder who wrote it 
20/02/2008 05:42:34 ‹James Jacobs› As do I. 
20/02/2008 05:42:37 ‹Burrito› Wait, did Jason get a Masterpiece Megatron? 
20/02/2008 05:42:40 ‹Moth› erk ... I think I'll stick with what we've currently got on Yeenoghu thanks 
20/02/2008 05:42:46 ‹mortellan› ungh, 4e demonomicon, not the same 
20/02/2008 05:42:51 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Burrito: Maybe...  
20/02/2008 05:43:11 ‹Jason Bulmahn›  
20/02/2008 05:43:15 ‹Burrito› Did you manage to smuggle it in sans orange cap? 
20/02/2008 05:43:21 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Yup 
20/02/2008 05:43:24 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: Any plans for a demon-focused article for AP #3? 
20/02/2008 05:43:25 ‹Burrito› Awesome. 
20/02/2008 05:43:26 ‹Jason Bulmahn› And it shoots.... 
20/02/2008 05:43:47 ‹Timitius› It does..... 
20/02/2008 05:43:47 ‹James Jacobs› Yeah... the biggest appeal to me about writing the Demonomicon articles was weaving them together to make something larger than the individual parts, and to incorperate obscure old tidbits with brand new stuff in a way that (hopefully) made them both seem organically intertwined. 
20/02/2008 05:43:53 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› will we ever see any Golarion articles in Kobold Quarterly? 
20/02/2008 05:43:59 * Timitius rubs welt on his arm.... 
20/02/2008 05:44:04 ‹The Last Rogue› Not to keep adding salt, but it has got to suck to see the Demonomicon leave your purview 
20/02/2008 05:44:13 ‹Rambling Scribe› Good question Takasi!
05:44:22 ‹Moth› Wow Rogue ... talk about sneak attack    
20/02/2008 05:44:25 ‹Jason Bulmahn› It is next to my Soundwave, Lazerbeak, Ravage, Mirage, Devestator, Jazz, Dr. Zoidberg, General Veers, and Mcdonalds Quarter Pounder Transformer... 
20/02/2008 05:44:28 ‹Jason Bulmahn›  
20/02/2008 05:44:29 ‹Mad Geologist› Fiction Lines: James Jacobs: Any chance of Paizo producing Golarion fiction in novel or even comic form?  As part of the long-term plan towards the production of the first Pathfinder movies, naturally. 
20/02/2008 05:44:45 ‹James Jacobs› The new cosmology does not support the type of Demonomicon I want to write, so I guess it's for the best that I wasn't asked to write it. And, yes, it does suck, even though I knew going into them that I was selling all rights and all that and it was work for hire... 
20/02/2008 05:45:05 ‹The Last Rogue› As a matter of fact . . . A toast to the one true Demonomicon scribe JJ !!!! 
20/02/2008 05:45:06 ‹Burrito› Aww, no Shockwave? 
20/02/2008 05:45:11 ‹mortellan› i hope they drop the Iggwilv part 
20/02/2008 05:45:13 ‹James Jacobs› Lilith> Yes. There will be an article about demon lords in Pathfinder 3. It'll be called: "DEMON LORDS OF GOLARION" or some such. 
20/02/2008 05:45:15 ‹Moth› Who'd a thought they would slaughter so many of the sacred cows? 
20/02/2008 05:45:18 ‹Timitius› ............. 
20/02/2008 05:45:23 ‹Fatespinner› Weeeelp... I think I'm going to permit myself to be sucked into the black hole that is Civilization III now.... 
20/02/2008 05:45:26 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Burrito: Nah.. not yet... the next one I need is jetfire... 
20/02/2008 05:45:40 ‹Moth› Seeya Fate 
20/02/2008 05:45:43 ‹The Last Rogue› Damn you Sid Meier 
20/02/2008 05:45:46 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Go go go Fatespinner!  
20/02/2008 05:45:46 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› sorry James, was never much a fan of the Demonomicon stuff, the demon lords are just too far removed from the mundane games I usually run 
20/02/2008 05:45:51 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Moth: Sacred Cows are apparently just as tasty as ordinary cows.. 
20/02/2008 05:45:54 * Fatespinner waves. 
20/02/2008 05:45:55 ‹Mad Geologist› Goodnight Fatespinner. 
20/02/2008 05:45:55 ‹Pygon› gnite Fate 
20/02/2008 05:45:56 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi> Perhaps. Wolfgang and us are all buddies, so eventually... who knows? 
20/02/2008 05:46:03 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Jason Bulmahn: They do make the best burgers. 
20/02/2008 05:46:09 ‹Fatespinner› Jason Bulmahn: Sacred cows are actually much tastier.  Ever had Kobe beef? 
20/02/2008 05:46:13 ‹Burrito› I have the Classics Jetfire. He's fantastic. 
20/02/2008 05:46:22 ‹Timitius› And they cost $6.99 per pound.....actually 95% lean I hear. 
20/02/2008 05:46:26 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Fatespinner: No... but I want too... 
20/02/2008 05:46:41 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Kobe beef...so...good... 
20/02/2008 05:46:42 ‹Fatespinner› Hee hee. 
20/02/2008 05:46:44 ‹James Jacobs› Mad Geo> There's always a chance of Golarion fiction. A better chance of that than Golarion comics. A better chance of THAT than a Golarion movie. But... who knows what YE FUTURE shall bring? 
20/02/2008 05:46:46 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Burrito: I used to when I was a kid.. I want him bad... but not bad enough to pay ebay prices yet... 
20/02/2008 05:46:59 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› it's reading stories about the gods in the realms, except with more perversion 
20/02/2008 05:46:59 ‹Fatespinner› Speaking of food... I should get some of that. 
20/02/2008 05:47:06 ‹Fatespinner› Anyway, I'm out.  Later, all! 
20/02/2008 05:47:07 ‹Burrito› He's on eBay status already? Really? 
20/02/2008 05:47:08 ‹James Jacobs› Jason: Is Jetfire the burrito that Taco Bell gave you that one time? 
20/02/2008 05:47:16 ‹The Last Rogue› Golarion Comics would rock (if done right), but I tremble at the production cost 
20/02/2008 05:47:22 ‹Daigle› Later Fatey! 
20/02/2008 05:47:23 ‹Jason Bulmahn› James: yes 
20/02/2008 05:47:27 * mortellan could do it, but not right  
20/02/2008 05:47:29 ‹Timitius› See you Fates! 
20/02/2008 05:47:32 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› it's not like my PCs are really going to do anything about it, it's just too much backstory that players really aren't going to get into unless I weave a whole lot of railroad into a campaign 
20/02/2008 05:48:01 ‹Burrito› ...Wow, geez, I guess he's out of general circulation. 
20/02/2008 05:48:08 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Yup... 
20/02/2008 05:48:10 ‹The Last Rogue› Takasi, yeah, guess it depends on your groups willingness to immerse into a setting (or an aspect of it) 
20/02/2008 05:48:11 ‹Burrito› I seem to recall our local toy store had one last time I was there... 
20/02/2008 05:48:20 ‹Moth› Which one was Jetfire? 
20/02/2008 05:48:22 * Fatespinner quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 05:48:30 ‹Burrito› Moth: the Robotech mold. 
20/02/2008 05:48:36 ‹James Jacobs› Last Rogue> Yeah. We could not afford to do a Golarion comic right now. 
20/02/2008 05:48:38 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› it's not about immersion so much as the presence and influence of these super powerful god-like beings 
20/02/2008 05:48:40 ‹Jason Bulmahn› But enough about that.. although I think it is high time it became an upcoming blog post... hmm.. must bring camera to work. 
20/02/2008 05:49:02 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Hooray! 
20/02/2008 05:49:14 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Blog your desk.  
20/02/2008 05:49:21 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› that happen to be interesting fluff because they're so evil and wrong, but their near omnipotence spoils the style of many types of games 
20/02/2008 05:49:27 ‹Timitius› Jason's toy collection is truly impressive....I was mightily impressed with the Transformer hamburger.... 
20/02/2008 05:49:30 ‹James Jacobs› That's the cool thing about demon lords, though. They're NOT super-powerful godlike beings, the way I envision them. They're close enough to ACT like gods, but not so godlike that they can't be fought and defeated by powerful PCs. 
20/02/2008 05:49:46 ‹Jason Bulmahn› I think I will.. although it will have to go on my blog.. I tried to do it for the Paizo blog in the past, but I got shot down..  
20/02/2008 05:50:03 ‹Burrito› And where can we find your blog? 
20/02/2008 05:50:06 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› VERY powerful James, and that's where the articles are weak to me 
20/02/2008 05:50:06 ‹Pygon› speaking of toys - James, the Hasbro Cloverfield figure - bleh 
20/02/2008 05:50:08 ‹Daigle› Demonlords satisfy high level players desire for deicide 
20/02/2008 05:50:19 ‹James Jacobs› PLUS: I did try to make the bulk of each article stuff that you could use in any level game; cultist info, monster info, etc. The bulk of a Demonomicon article is usable throguhout a campaign. 
20/02/2008 05:50:48 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi> Very powerful for some groups, but apparently pushovers for a lot more. <shrug> 
20/02/2008 05:50:50 ‹Burrito› Pygon: are there pictures or size info on the parasites yet? 
20/02/2008 05:50:51 ‹Moth› Oh! Jetfire = Skyfire.... 
20/02/2008 05:50:53 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Cultist info is the bestest. 
20/02/2008 05:50:53 ‹mortellan› pygon> erk, that stick figure is no competition for godzilla 
20/02/2008 05:51:01 ‹Pygon› Burrito - I haven't seen anything 
20/02/2008 05:51:13 * Jason Bulmahn quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 05:51:32 * Timitius agree with Lilith...cultists are....annoyingly cool 
20/02/2008 05:51:44 ‹Mad Geologist› I noticed that an image had to be taken off the Paizo catalogue of a paints set at the request of Games Workshop, I think; is that old news? 
20/02/2008 05:51:51 * Jason Bulmahn joins Main 
20/02/2008 05:51:52 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› I quit Savage Tide in Scuttlecove 
20/02/2008 05:51:53 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Old news 
20/02/2008 05:52:03 * Fray joins Main 
20/02/2008 05:52:05 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› at the end that is, after killing Vanthus for the last time 
20/02/2008 05:52:22 ‹Sir Wulf› brb 
20/02/2008 05:52:23 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Burrito: http://iuztheevil.livejournal.com/ 
20/02/2008 05:52:39 ‹James Jacobs› Mad Geo> Yup; that's kinda old news. 
20/02/2008 05:52:39 ‹Mad Geologist› Lilith: Thank you 
20/02/2008 05:52:42 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› the high level planar stuff just seemed too far removed from the campaign world 
20/02/2008 05:52:45 ‹Burrito› Iuz the Evil? Cute. 
20/02/2008 05:52:47 ‹James Jacobs› That's kinda the way Games Workshop rolls. 
20/02/2008 05:52:51 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Mad: that happened a while ago with all GW products... 
20/02/2008 05:53:09 ‹Moth› But James' demonomicon articles were a lot more than just the stats of the demonlords - things that could be used at many levels of a campaign 
20/02/2008 05:53:14 ‹Fray› hi  
20/02/2008 05:53:20 ‹Pygon› hi Fray 
20/02/2008 05:53:26 * Sir Wulf quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 05:53:27 ‹Moth› Hey Fray 
20/02/2008 05:53:29 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Burrito: I have had that one since my old days as part of the RPGA Living Greyhawk Campaign... 
20/02/2008 05:53:39 ‹Daigle› Howdy Fray 
20/02/2008 05:53:53 ‹Fray› :blatant plug: 
20/02/2008 05:53:59 * Fray has a bday today 
20/02/2008 05:54:01 * Mad Geologist yawns... late here in the UK.... 
20/02/2008 05:54:05 ‹Rambling Scribe› Well folks, I'm about to fall face first into my key board... 
20/02/2008 05:54:08 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Happy Birthday 
20/02/2008 05:54:12 ‹Rambling Scribe› Good night everyone! 
20/02/2008 05:54:15 ‹Fray›  
20/02/2008 05:54:16 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› Moth, you could also say that all the low level stuff on cultists and plots and monsters could easily be used regardless of the backstory of the Demon Lord then, right? 
20/02/2008 05:54:19 ‹Fray› Nite Scribe 
20/02/2008 05:54:21 ‹Mad Geologist› Goodnight rambling Scribe

20/02/2008 05:55:09 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Jason Bulmahn: Go sleep!  
20/02/2008 05:55:11 * mortellan quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 05:55:13 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Or have more beer.  
20/02/2008 05:55:14 * CD lunching quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 05:55:16 ‹Jason Bulmahn› go home james.. I might just pick up chess on Xbox LA tonight.. 
20/02/2008 05:55:33 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› to me it really doesn't matter whether Orcus is fighting the new Raven Queen on the Shadowfell or if he's in the Abyss fighting Demogorgon, it's the lower level stuff that will matter more 
20/02/2008 05:55:36 ‹Timitius› Jason Bulmahn: Are you guys still at the office??????? 
20/02/2008 05:55:45 ‹Jason Bulmahn› I am not.. thank god..

20/02/2008 05:56:36 ‹James Jacobs› Jason escaped. 
20/02/2008 05:56:39 ‹Timitius› Jason:  G'night!  See you around. 
20/02/2008 05:57:09 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Yeah... usually that means I get to go home and write... its a pain.. but at least I am surrounded by different toys... 
20/02/2008 05:57:38 ‹Jason Bulmahn› Alright... later everybody.. I will not be on for a few weeks.. I got to go to DDXP next week... 
20/02/2008 05:57:54 ‹Mad Geologist› Take lots of notes!

20/02/2008 05:58:17 ‹Pygon› Fray - must have been someone else I bleieve 
20/02/2008 05:58:27 ‹Jason Bulmahn› I will.. it seems that to be the only way they will let us see them... although perhaps that is just me being jaded.... 
20/02/2008 05:58:30 ‹Mad Geologist› One of those cold war gadgets. 
20/02/2008 05:58:30 ‹Fray› prolly Daigle 
20/02/2008 05:58:37 ‹Moth› Takasi: you could say that - if you so chose....  
20/02/2008 05:58:38 ‹Jason Bulmahn› alright.. enough for me... later... 
20/02/2008 05:58:45 ‹Pygon› gnite Jason

20/02/2008 05:59:13 ‹Daigle› Have a nice trip Jason 
20/02/2008 05:59:18 * Fray mumbles 'dammm-nabit' 
20/02/2008 05:59:23 ‹Mad Geologist› We will expect a report on Second Darkness' likely edition shortly... 
20/02/2008 05:59:27 ‹Moth› Hope you get to see those rules

20/02/2008 05:59:56 ‹Fray› Winter Fantasy used to be a bi con for Highlander CCG 
20/02/2008 06:00:00 ‹Mad Geologist› Goodnight Hill giant 
20/02/2008 06:00:01 * Jason Bulmahn quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 06:00:08 ‹Fray› nite HG 
20/02/2008 06:00:12 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› James Jacobs, you mentioned that when cannons make their appearance in Pathfinder it will be a big deal, can you go into more detail? 
20/02/2008 06:00:13 ‹Daigle› Goodnight David! 
20/02/2008 06:00:26 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Night David!

20/02/2008 06:00:56 ‹Fray› dang my typing curse 
20/02/2008 06:01:24 ‹Sir Wulf› cannon in Pathfinder?  EEk! 
20/02/2008 06:01:41 ‹Moth› I took that cannon comment as more of an "if cannons make an appearance" - but I could be wrong 
20/02/2008 06:01:57 ‹Mad Geologist› Sir Wulf: You mean  or ... 
20/02/2008 06:02:06 ‹Fray› cannons go book 
20/02/2008 06:02:08 ‹James Jacobs› Mad Geo> I hope to be able to reveal what edition Second Darkness will use sooner than later... HOPEFULLY within a month. 
20/02/2008 06:02:26 ‹Fray› go boom 
20/02/2008 06:02:36 * Fray really can't type well... 
20/02/2008 06:02:57 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi> I can't really go into more detail about cannons in Golarion yet, because we haven't yet decided if and when we'll be unleashing them into Golarion. 
20/02/2008 06:03:04 ‹James Jacobs› Firearms change a LOT about a game world. 
20/02/2008 06:03:14 ‹Fray› no kidding! 
20/02/2008 06:03:21 ‹Mad Geologist› James Jacobs: Once Jason gets back with his spy film & report you mean? 
20/02/2008 06:03:24 ‹James Jacobs› Golarion has to be stable and accepted and  healthy as a campaign world before we start doing things like introducing guns. 
20/02/2008 06:03:27 ‹Fray› :bang!: :bang!: :bang!: 
20/02/2008 06:03:42 ‹James Jacobs› And before THAT can happen, we need to have our campaign setting out for at least a year, I'd guess. 
20/02/2008 06:03:52 ‹Fray›  :bang!:  :bang!:  :bang!: 
20/02/2008 06:03:53 ‹Timitius› Or gun powder in general. 
20/02/2008 06:04:10 * Moth quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 06:04:24 ‹Fray› James just make Pathfinder 2020 
20/02/2008 06:04:28 ‹Fray›  
20/02/2008 06:04:28 * Moth joins Main 
20/02/2008 06:04:33 ‹James Jacobs› There'll probably be a short bit of info about guns and cannons and gunpowder in the Hardcover book, actually. One of the goals with Golarion is to produce a world where any type of D&D game can be played. And a lot of D&D type games DO have gunpowder... 
20/02/2008 06:04:39 ‹Moth› stupid internet! 
20/02/2008 06:04:43 ‹Mad Geologist› Hmm... I'm thinking a year and a half, maybe two years, at least. 
20/02/2008 06:04:43 * Fray goes and registers Pathfinder 2020 
20/02/2008 06:04:45 ‹Blazej› Shuriken Gun!

20/02/2008 06:05:02 ‹Timitius› Poodle Gun! 
20/02/2008 06:05:10 ‹Fray› Chicken Gun 
20/02/2008 06:05:13 ‹Blazej› Or Ninjas that throw Shuriken Gun! 
20/02/2008 06:05:14 * Timitius shows his Tick roots 
20/02/2008 06:05:19 ‹Pygon› rust monster gun!  wait, it would have to be made of wood 
20/02/2008 06:05:28 * Fray is a hedge 
20/02/2008 06:05:37 * Fray has the same roots 
20/02/2008 06:05:40 ‹Mad Geologist› Are cannons more likely to be a human, gnome, dwarf, outsider, drasgon (hey... if there's money and mathematics in it) or other invention? 
20/02/2008 06:06:10 * Fray loves Tick 
20/02/2008 06:06:26 ‹Blazej› Well obviously a dragon will have been recorded as inventing it.  
20/02/2008 06:06:29 ‹Mad Geologist› Aboleths, maybe? 
20/02/2008 06:06:32 ‹Timitius› I just had my kids watch Tick vs. Omnipotus, Devourer of Worlds last night. 
20/02/2008 06:06:38 ‹Mad Geologist› BlazeJ: True. 
20/02/2008 06:07:21 ‹Fray› Timitus season II right? 
20/02/2008 06:07:44 * Fray checks DVD's 
20/02/2008 06:08:01 ‹Timitius› I've also taught the 2 yr old to yell, "The light!  The light!  It hurts our sensitive, underdeveloped mole eyes!" everytime I turn the lights on. 
20/02/2008 06:08:15 * Mad Geologist quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 06:08:17 ‹Timitius› Fray:  Yep.  Season II. 
20/02/2008 06:08:39 ‹Fray› hahah THAT rules! 
20/02/2008 06:08:54 ‹Timitius› Although these were on my VHS tapes I recorded back when it was on. 
20/02/2008 06:08:58 ‹Fray› I will keep that in mind for my girl when she gets to 2 
20/02/2008 06:09:01 * good morning from germany joins Main 
20/02/2008 06:09:12 ‹James Jacobs› Mad Geo> Cannons are more likely to be human inventions, I suspect. MAYBE dwarves. But I like that humans are the ones who stumble across this tech, since that plays in to them being so inventive and tenacious. 
20/02/2008 06:09:15 ‹Fray› I am bummed that each Season had an episode missing 
20/02/2008 06:09:25 ‹Fray› stupid Fox/WarnerBrothers

20/02/2008 06:10:12 ‹Fray› Hi Germany! 
20/02/2008 06:10:23 ‹Timitius› Nothing like a 2 yr old running through the house yelling "PANTS ON FIRE!!!"

20/02/2008 06:16:45 * Chat Summary Lilith ponders questions for James Jacobs... 
20/02/2008 06:16:46 * Mad Geologist will try to think up some more searching questing for James Jacobs for next week.... 
20/02/2008 06:16:49 ‹Fray› i need to go find the 2 missing episodes still 
20/02/2008 06:16:49 ‹Timitius› The Tick should've had his face covered more..... 
20/02/2008 06:16:52 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: Organized Play? PaizoCon? 
20/02/2008 06:17:14 ‹Timitius› Ooooh.  Good one Lilz. 
20/02/2008 06:17:18 ‹Fray› Timitius true dat

20/02/2008 06:17:48 ‹Mad Geologist› Goodnight Sir Wulf, Lilith, everyone else. 
20/02/2008 06:18:01 ‹James Jacobs› Organized Play; we're working on that, although those who are working on it at this point are not me, so I don't have any real news to add there. 
20/02/2008 06:18:07 ‹Timitius› See ya, Mad Geo! 
20/02/2008 06:18:09 ‹James Jacobs› PaizoCon is sounding increasingly cool, though! 
20/02/2008 06:18:18 * Mad Geologist quit 
20/02/2008 06:18:29 ‹ollibolli› same for German translations? 
20/02/2008 06:18:35 ‹James Jacobs› (I never really got into the Tick, so I can't really take part in Tick Talk). 
20/02/2008 06:18:41 ‹James Jacobs› Yeah... same for the German translations, alas. 
20/02/2008 06:18:46 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: Needs more beer and cookies? 
20/02/2008 06:18:47 ‹ollibolli› sigh 
20/02/2008 06:18:55 ‹James Jacobs› I still have to drive home, so no beer yet. 
20/02/2008 06:19:06 ‹Timitius› James Jacobs:  We reserved a meeting room at LaQuinta off of 520 in Kirkland. 
20/02/2008 06:19:07 ‹James Jacobs› Or when I get home, for that manner. Beer = gross. Unless it's lambic. 
20/02/2008 06:19:21 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: What kind of lambics do you like? 
20/02/2008 06:19:43 ‹Daigle› fruit beer?

20/02/2008 06:20:45 * Daigle shouldn't talk...he has two Lindeman's in his fridge. 
20/02/2008 06:21:20 ‹James Jacobs› My favorite: Raspberry Lambic. Second favorite: Black Cherry. Haven't tried others yet... 
20/02/2008 06:21:40 ‹Timitius› We have a Beer and Wine store that just opened in Redmond....they have like a 100 beers...and mead! 
20/02/2008 06:21:52 ‹James Jacobs› Guiness is pretty good too... but only right out of the tap. 
20/02/2008 06:21:58 ‹Daigle› Mmmm 
20/02/2008 06:21:58 ‹James Jacobs› MEAD! That stuff's good. 
20/02/2008 06:22:05 ‹Timitius› I'm sure they've got several types of lambics too. 
20/02/2008 06:22:11 ‹Blazej› This La Quinta Inn: 10530 Northup Way, Kirkland, WA? 
20/02/2008 06:22:18 ‹Timitius› OK, James, I'll bring the mead. 
20/02/2008 06:22:20 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: I have a bottle of mead right now.  
20/02/2008 06:22:22 ‹James Jacobs› I have also only recently become aquatinted with Ye Screwdriver. They are also not bad. 
20/02/2008 06:22:27 ‹Timitius› Blazej: Yep. 
20/02/2008 06:22:29 ‹James Jacobs› ALL that said... I'm not a big drinker at all. 
20/02/2008 06:22:44 ‹Blazej› Yah!  Eleven minutes away! 
20/02/2008 06:23:31 ‹Timitius› Blazej: We have their Sonics room for the meetup.  Have you RSVPed yet? 
20/02/2008 06:25:11 ‹Blazej› No I haven't I have to first check with my parents to see if they want to go out with me the day before and/or after my graduation ceremony (April 27th). 
20/02/2008 06:25:29 ‹Blazej› What do I have to do to RSVP? 
20/02/2008 06:26:55 ‹Timitius› You need to go to http://roleplayers.meetup.com/456/ and join.  Then RSVP on the meeting.  We limited it to 30 spots. 
20/02/2008 06:27:36 ‹Timitius› Oh, cost is $25 to pay for the room and food and drinks on Saturday. 
20/02/2008 06:29:07 ‹Burrito› Wish I could come. D: 
20/02/2008 06:29:21 * Crimson Jester joins Main 
20/02/2008 06:29:27 ‹James Jacobs› Whoops... wanderd off there. 
20/02/2008 06:29:40 ‹Blazej› Ok, I'll check with my parents to see when they are flying in and sign up if my schedule permits.  
20/02/2008 06:29:43 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: That's fine.  
20/02/2008 06:29:52 ‹Daigle› Howdy CJ 
20/02/2008 06:29:56 ‹James Jacobs› Just realized that SOMEONE needs to write a 2 page intro for Classic Monsters... 
20/02/2008 06:30:07 ‹Crimson Jester› Hey Daigle 
20/02/2008 06:30:15 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: Who would that someone be? 
20/02/2008 06:30:17 ‹Chat Summary Lilith›  
20/02/2008 06:30:27 ‹James Jacobs› Erik's too busy. 
20/02/2008 06:30:29 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› And when is that scheduled to ship out? 
20/02/2008 06:30:45 ‹James Jacobs› Wes is already working on other chunks of the book right now to fill out some gaps in the text. 
20/02/2008 06:30:55 ‹James Jacobs› It should really be over to Sarah tomorrow morning. 
20/02/2008 06:31:03 ‹James Jacobs› And I'm the only other one here. SO. 
20/02/2008 06:31:13 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Oh dears. 
20/02/2008 06:31:16 ‹James Jacobs› It's hopefully shipping to the printer VERY soon. 
20/02/2008 06:31:39 * Chat Summary Lilith gives James Jacobs more Cthulhu Cookies, with fortified Eldritch goodness in them.    
20/02/2008 06:32:19 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› James Jacobs: I have a couple of unanswered questions for you from some former chats. 
20/02/2008 06:32:31 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› 1.) Any chance of Robert Kuntz doing a Pathfinder? 
20/02/2008 06:32:34 ‹Timitius› Lilith:  Do they make a Cthulhu cookie cutter?  If so, we SOOOO need to get one for your cookies. 
20/02/2008 06:32:37 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› 2.) Will there be a gnome druid Iconic? 
20/02/2008 06:32:55 * ollibolli changes his/her nickname to ollibolli @ breakfast 
20/02/2008 06:33:01 ‹Burrito› Gnome druid? Really? Is this something that is in demand? 
20/02/2008 06:33:02 ‹Fray› ok.. i'm off... 
20/02/2008 06:33:07 ‹Fray› y'all have fun 
20/02/2008 06:33:12 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› 3.) Shipping issues to UK sorted out, or is that an ongoing problem. 
20/02/2008 06:33:34 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› Timitius: No, they don't...but one could be made, or I can just make regular round cookies with the Elder Sign on them. 
20/02/2008 06:33:36 ‹ollibolli @ breakfast› bye fray 
20/02/2008 06:34:19 * Fray quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 06:34:57 ‹Timitius› Hmmmm....maybe Pathfinder cookies........ 
20/02/2008 06:35:02 ‹Chat Summary Lilith›  
20/02/2008 06:35:23 ‹James Jacobs› I'd LOVE to have Rob Kuntz do something for Pathfinder, but he's been pretty sick lately. Also, he's got his own publishing schedule to maintain. I've chatted with Rob a few times though, so hopefully someday... 
20/02/2008 06:35:25 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› The Sihedron Rune could be done with a template - just sprinkle powdered sugar or something over the temlate. 
20/02/2008 06:35:48 ‹Chat Summary Lilith› template 
20/02/2008 06:35:51 * Chat Summary Lilith changes his/her nickname to Lilith 
20/02/2008 06:36:37 ‹Sir Wulf› Sihedron Cookies never go stale, due to the preservative magics of the runelords. 
20/02/2008 06:36:45 ‹James Jacobs› That said... it looks like we'll have at least one other VERY RECOGNIZABLE name helping out with some Pathfinder stuff in Second Darkness... someone who's been working on RPGs since the 80s, and whose work I very much admire and respect, and I'm really excited to be working with him, and that's all I can say about that right now since it's not 100% official.
06:36:59 ‹James Jacobs› There will be a gnome druid iconic, yes. 
20/02/2008 06:37:18 ‹Daigle› Oooh 
20/02/2008 06:37:27 ‹Lilith› Excellent. 
20/02/2008 06:37:33 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Willie Walsh? 
20/02/2008 06:37:37 * Lilith randomly guesses. 
20/02/2008 06:37:38 ‹Daigle› Secret grognard freelancers! 
20/02/2008 06:37:38 ‹James Jacobs› I'm not sure what the problem with shipping to the UK is, unfortunately... that's stuff that happens outside the room. 
20/02/2008 06:37:41 ‹Blazej› Dang it!  I read that several times trying to figure out how I create a creature with the Sihedron Rune template with just powdered sugar! 
20/02/2008 06:37:45 ‹James Jacobs› Willie Walsh is not the gnome druid, no. 
20/02/2008 06:37:52 * Daigle laughs 
20/02/2008 06:37:52 * Lilith laughs! 
20/02/2008 06:38:44 ‹Sir Wulf› The "Rune-Sweetened" template... 
20/02/2008 06:38:50 ‹Pygon› Is he Leeky Windstaff?  
20/02/2008 06:39:32 ‹Pygon› sorry http://www.giantitp.com/comics...44.html 
20/02/2008 06:40:00 ‹Blazej› Causes creatures who bite it to have a sugar rush? 
20/02/2008 06:40:11 ‹Lilith› Yarr! 
20/02/2008 06:40:21 * Lilith likes the rune-sweetened template... 
20/02/2008 06:40:24 ‹James Jacobs› But no... someone MUCH more recognizable than Willie Walsh. 
20/02/2008 06:40:32 ‹Burrito› Robin Laws? 
20/02/2008 06:40:45 ‹Samwise› me! 
20/02/2008 06:40:48 ‹Samwise› no wait, not me 
20/02/2008 06:40:51 ‹James Jacobs› HA! 
20/02/2008 06:40:51 * Samwise grumbles 
20/02/2008 06:40:53 ‹Samwise›  
20/02/2008 06:41:02 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Jeff Grubb? 
20/02/2008 06:41:03 ‹Timitius› OK....gotta hit the sack.  Later folks! 
20/02/2008 06:41:04 ‹Burrito› Gary Gygax? 
20/02/2008 06:41:08 * Lilith looks at his list from last week. 
20/02/2008 06:41:10 ‹Lilith› Monte cook? 
20/02/2008 06:41:14 ‹Blazej› Batman? 
20/02/2008 06:41:18 ‹Burrito› Al Gore! 
20/02/2008 06:41:21 ‹James Jacobs› Hopefully I'll be able to say who it is by next week's chat here. 
20/02/2008 06:41:30 ‹Lilith› AWESOME!  
20/02/2008 06:41:34 ‹Sir Wulf› Al Gore it is, then! 
20/02/2008 06:41:45 ‹James Jacobs› He IS an 11th level vice-president. 
20/02/2008 06:41:50 ‹Lilith› Does this have anything to do with the super-secret project that the Bull-man is working on? 
20/02/2008 06:42:39 ‹James Jacobs› Nope. 
20/02/2008 06:42:46 ‹Burrito› Vin Diesel? 
20/02/2008 06:42:51 ‹James Jacobs› This is someone who'll be writing something for Pathfinder. For Second Darkness. 
20/02/2008 06:42:54 * Lilith wants to know the super-secret project! 
20/02/2008 06:43:10 ‹Burrito› Robin Williams! 
20/02/2008 06:43:37 ‹Sir Wulf› Tom Wham! 
20/02/2008 06:43:59 * Tio joins Main

20/02/2008 06:44:25 ‹Blazej› Good morning. ? 
20/02/2008 06:44:33 ‹Lilith› Timitius: HELL YEAH!  
20/02/2008 06:44:39 ‹Timitius›  
20/02/2008 06:44:41 ‹Tio› wow, first time i make it when more then a few people are still here 
20/02/2008 06:44:43 ‹Lilith› Timitius: "Jacked up and good to go." 
20/02/2008 06:44:52 ‹Timitius› Night! 
20/02/2008 06:44:56 * Timitius quit 
20/02/2008 06:44:57 ‹Lilith› Night! 
20/02/2008 06:45:50 * Saracenus yawns 
20/02/2008 06:45:54 ‹Saracenus› Hello all 
20/02/2008 06:46:28 ‹Blazej› Half-elf barbarian iconic... 
20/02/2008 06:46:56 ‹Saracenus› JJ: The Super Secret person is George Lucas... hes going to write the 3 Pathfinder AP prequels to first three APs  
20/02/2008 06:47:12 * Crimson Jester quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 06:47:24 ‹Sir Wulf› "Fall of the Runelords" 
20/02/2008 06:47:25 ‹Saracenus› Then he going to digitally remaster the first there and add new special effects 
20/02/2008 06:47:28 ‹Tio› Will he have time with the launch of the new Indiana Jones movie? 
20/02/2008 06:47:44 ‹Saracenus› Lego IJ 
20/02/2008 06:48:48 ‹Burrito› man, those things look pretty cool 
20/02/2008 06:49:04 ‹Saracenus› No wait, its going to be JJ Abrams, the new AP will involve a female spy and her dad who are trying to stop a Terrasque from devouring the city  
20/02/2008 06:49:21 ‹James Jacobs› I' m gonna be here for at least one more hour, on and off, while I listen to the soundtrack to Saw III and write an intro for Classic Monsters. 
20/02/2008 06:49:28 ‹Saracenus› And it's on a lost Island 
20/02/2008 06:49:30 ‹James Jacobs› JJ Abrams = Brilliant 
20/02/2008 06:49:41 ‹Sir Wulf› Good night! 
20/02/2008 06:49:46 ‹Pygon› Saw III has a soundtrack? 
20/02/2008 06:49:47 ‹Lilith› Night Sir Wulf! 
20/02/2008 06:50:08 ‹Blazej› Tom Clancy? 
20/02/2008 06:50:11 ‹Daigle› Night man 
20/02/2008 06:50:15 ‹Saracenus› JJ I agree JJ Abrams is awesome, discounting the Mission Impossible he did, but I don't blame him for that  
20/02/2008 06:50:26 ‹James Jacobs› Saw III does! Two, in fact. One = music from or inspired by the movie, and one being the musical score. 
20/02/2008 06:50:36 ‹James Jacobs› I actually thought his Mission Impossible was the best of the three, easy. 
20/02/2008 06:50:46 * Sir Wulf quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 06:50:49 ‹James Jacobs› BUT: Between Lost and Cloverfield... he can Do No Wrong. 
20/02/2008 06:51:02 ‹Lilith› I'd like to see what he does with Star Trek 
20/02/2008 06:51:12 ‹James Jacobs› Yeah. 
20/02/2008 06:51:15 ‹Burrito› Honestly, I wasn't all that taken with what I saw of Alias. 
20/02/2008 06:51:28 ‹Saracenus› Right now my favorite scores to write D&D stuff to are Battlestar Galatica Seasons 1, 2, and 3 by Bear Mcreary... 
20/02/2008 06:51:28 ‹Russ› Best of the MIs is not a high bar, especially when MI 1 started with a big piss all over a great TV show 
20/02/2008 06:51:33 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: I have a question about the Golarion Calendar, specifically concerning the seasons and their starts. 
20/02/2008 06:51:33 ‹James Jacobs› I suspect what he does with Star Trek will end up being the best Star Trek movie since Wrath of Khan, honestly. 
20/02/2008 06:51:39 ‹James Jacobs› Ok! Fire! 
20/02/2008 06:51:42 ‹Lilith› Wrath of Khan rocks! 
20/02/2008 06:51:48 ‹Burrito› That's not an incredibly high standard. 
20/02/2008 06:51:54 ‹James Jacobs› it's not. 
20/02/2008 06:52:00 ‹James Jacobs› But it is, nonetheless, a standard. 
20/02/2008 06:52:19 ‹Russ› Yeah, pretty much two good trek movies so far. First Contact I'd rate as OK, along with Save the Whales. 
20/02/2008 06:52:26 ‹Saracenus› Logue! 
20/02/2008 06:52:27 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Do the seasons start on the equinoxes/solstices as they do on our world, or serve as a midpoint for the seasons. 
20/02/2008 06:52:35 ‹Saracenus› Sorry, Kahn! 
20/02/2008 06:52:40 ‹Russ› Is Sir Nick here? I'm running his mod  
20/02/2008 06:52:46 ‹Lilith› Nick is not here. 
20/02/2008 06:52:59 * Russ is running Isle of Last Resort 
20/02/2008 06:53:02 ‹Saracenus› No I was doing a Wrath of Kahn reference using his name 
20/02/2008 06:53:04 ‹Lilith› He is probably OD'ing on Guyaki and typing like a monkey on crack.  
20/02/2008 06:53:37 ‹Saracenus› Actually I think a monkey on crack would be pressed to keep up... 
20/02/2008 06:53:59 * Saracenus waves at Russ 
20/02/2008 06:54:03 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: I ask, because I made up a bunch of Golarion calendars. 
20/02/2008 06:54:10 ‹James Jacobs› Hmm... 
20/02/2008 06:54:36 ‹James Jacobs› I'd say that they start on the equinoxes/solstices, if only to help maintain one less editor continuity trap. 
20/02/2008 06:54:52 ‹Saracenus› Is Golarion earth-like in its season and such? 
20/02/2008 06:55:03 ‹Lilith› Saracenus: Yes....as much as I can tell.  
20/02/2008 06:55:24 ‹James Jacobs› Yup. Golarion is very earth-like in seasons and tides and weather and all that. 
20/02/2008 06:55:36 ‹Lilith› And only one moon, right? 
20/02/2008 06:55:42 ‹Lilith› (But two planets. ) 
20/02/2008 06:55:45 ‹Saracenus› Well, if I can spare some time, I will pop the data into my copy of weathermaster an see when the Solstices pop up <G> 
20/02/2008 06:55:51 ‹James Jacobs› One moon, yeah. But two very close planets. 
20/02/2008 06:56:00 ‹James Jacobs› Not sure how big those planets appear in the sky. 
06:56:12 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Any significance to the Number Seven in Golarion? The calendrical cycle seems to speak to it. 
20/02/2008 06:56:25 ‹Blazej› Did I miss something in the astrology sections? 
20/02/2008 06:56:32 * Saracenus is watchin' The Mummy right now 
20/02/2008 06:56:34 ‹Lilith› Blazej:  
20/02/2008 06:56:40 ‹James Jacobs› Seven sins immediately pops to mind, of course. 
20/02/2008 06:56:52 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: It did for me as well. I didn't know if it was a happy accident or not. 
20/02/2008 06:57:15 ‹Lilith› Seven Virtues, Seven Sins, singing their sighs across the sky 
20/02/2008 06:57:20 ‹Pygon› passing out.  good night all, thanks for coming James! 
20/02/2008 06:57:31 ‹Lilith› Night Pygon! 
20/02/2008 06:57:34 ‹Saracenus› Night Pygon 
20/02/2008 06:57:37 ‹James Jacobs› Happy accident. And g'night, Pygon! 
20/02/2008 06:57:39 ‹Blazej› Night! 
20/02/2008 06:57:59 ‹Pygon› I'll stay logged in, maybe I can catch the trail end of it  
20/02/2008 06:58:02 ‹Pygon› o/ 
20/02/2008 06:58:03 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: I had guessed that it was...but could be lots of fun either way. 
20/02/2008 06:58:27 ‹Burrito› So 7 is the magic number for Pathfinder... 12/13 is the magic number for Eberron... what other games have magic numbers? 
20/02/2008 06:58:32 ‹Burrito› 3 for Planescape... 
20/02/2008 06:58:41 ‹Lilith› Burrito: I was just gonna say 3 for Planescape... 
20/02/2008 06:58:47 ‹Saracenus› James Jacobs: BTW, the more I monkey around with Haunts the more I love them... I am incorporating them into Forge of Fury (I have changed a bunch of stuff ) as it allows me to tell the story of the dungeon without long exposition and I get to freak out my players...  
20/02/2008 06:59:15 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: I mapped out the Blue Moon months, and the double new moon months for Golarion. I was obsessing on Saturday. 
20/02/2008 07:01:01 ‹James Jacobs› There are more magic numbers for Golarion, of course. 
20/02/2008 07:01:09 * ollibolli @ breakfast changes his/her nickname to ollibolli 
20/02/2008 07:01:14 ‹James Jacobs› 9 is pretty potent, particularly in Harrow. 6 too. 
20/02/2008 07:01:29 ‹James Jacobs› 3 is always potent as well. 
20/02/2008 07:01:38 ‹Lilith› 9 would be, as is 6, because they are related to three, a prime number 
20/02/2008 07:02:17 ‹ollibolli› I am reading the Atevi books by C.J. Cherryh at the moment (Foreigner etc.) 
20/02/2008 07:02:21 ‹James Jacobs› Yeah... that's where I'm getting to be with Haunts too. They're a really fun, interactive way to get backstory across to PCs in a memorable way that doesn't take up TOO much space with weird rules. 
20/02/2008 07:02:37 ‹ollibolli› and those aliens (atevi) are obsessed with numerology 
20/02/2008 07:02:58 ‹ollibolli› two in an infelicitous number and borders on a declaration of war 
20/02/2008 07:03:31 ‹ollibolli› 4 is especially hostile 
20/02/2008 07:03:54 ‹ollibolli› everyhing with 3, 5 and 7 is felicitous 
20/02/2008 07:03:56 ‹Russ› 9 for Greyhawk 
20/02/2008 07:04:04 ‹Russ› and 5 for that matter  
20/02/2008 07:04:10 ‹Saracenus› I am finding it tricky to make the Haunts informative enought without hiting the PCs with the Plot Paddle 
20/02/2008 07:04:18 ‹Lilith› I am looking forward to the Harrow Deck. That will be awesome. 
20/02/2008 07:05:04 ‹Burrito› actually, 8 is big for Greyhawk in some ways... 
20/02/2008 07:05:05 ‹ollibolli› hmmm... I'm running Shadows in Freeport... Haunts would have been an excellent addition... 
20/02/2008 07:05:12 ‹Russ› Hi back Sarcenus 
20/02/2008 07:05:19 ‹Russ› The planets would need to obscenely close to be large in the sky 
20/02/2008 07:05:57 ‹ollibolli› then they would clearly have an enourmous influence on the tides 
20/02/2008 07:06:14 ‹Russ› Venus is relatively close by planet standards, and is still tiny 
20/02/2008 07:06:16 ‹Lilith› Close enough to have an effect on the tides and crusts? 
20/02/2008 07:06:19 ‹Russ› (in the sky) 
20/02/2008 07:06:50 ‹Russ› plus, if it is a standard celestial system, it would only be close some of time, so the size would change dramatically 
20/02/2008 07:07:44 ‹James Jacobs› 8 is really big in Greyhawk, particularly in matters octych related. 
20/02/2008 07:08:27 ‹James Jacobs› Yeah... having planets real big in the sky also implies a lot of weird other stuff for tides and weather patterns and the like. 
20/02/2008 07:08:39 ‹Lilith› Earthquakes, volcanos... 
20/02/2008 07:08:43 ‹Russ› Hmm. sort of. The Octychs haven't been all that important  
20/02/2008 07:08:46 ‹James Jacobs› It looks cool in art, but alas... it needs to be supported in the world too. 
20/02/2008 07:08:52 ‹Russ› 8 is important as a part of 9. 
20/02/2008 07:09:03 ‹Russ› The Ocytchs is 8 points around a central design, for example. 
20/02/2008 07:09:06 ‹James Jacobs› The Octychs have been pretty important in a fair amount of the Greyhawk stuff I've worked on, thoguh. 
20/02/2008 07:09:11 ‹Russ› (not that 8 isn't important, but it is part of the 8 + balance) 
20/02/2008 07:09:33 ‹Russ› I'd agree if more had been done with them than just leaving them lying around as treasure. 
20/02/2008 07:09:35 ‹Saracenus› Isn't there 8 Hirearchs 
20/02/2008 07:09:41 ‹James Jacobs› Plus: Circle of 8 
20/02/2008 07:09:41 ‹Russ› But no one's ever worked on where they take you. 
20/02/2008 07:09:49 ‹Russ› Circle of 8 is also a 9  
20/02/2008 07:09:54 ‹Russ› 8 + Mordenkainen 
20/02/2008 07:10:11 ‹Russ› So I'm agreeing on 8, but I find most of the 8s have a 9th if you look 
20/02/2008 07:10:11 ‹James Jacobs› Erik's actually done a LOT of work on where they take you, but I doubt any of that'll ever see print. Much less escape his brain. 
20/02/2008 07:10:25 ‹Russ› Ok, correct, no one has published it. 
20/02/2008 07:10:32 ‹Lilith› Trapped inside like a moth in a net... 
20/02/2008 07:10:33 ‹Saracenus› Russ: Mordy is just the spider at the center of the web 
20/02/2008 07:10:41 ‹Russ› I agree about their potential importance, but found it to not get where it should have  
20/02/2008 07:10:57 ‹Russ› At some point, I meant to track down how many of the 8 had been placed 
20/02/2008 07:12:09 ‹ollibolli› I need to run 
20/02/2008 07:12:11 ‹Russ› Can't recall if there were one or two in Expedition, plus the one in Dragotha of course, and one in the revisited ghost tower 
20/02/2008 07:12:20 ‹ollibolli› ctaching my bus 
20/02/2008 07:12:21 ‹Russ› I am SO looking forward to running that fabulous Expedition mod 
20/02/2008 07:12:30 ‹ollibolli› see ya all 
20/02/2008 07:12:33 ‹Saracenus› Night Ollibolli 
20/02/2008 07:12:55 ‹Saracenus› Russ: You are just a Mona fan-boi  
20/02/2008 07:13:05 ‹Saracenus› Joking 
20/02/2008 07:13:09 ‹ollibolli› i will be back in an hour our so 
20/02/2008 07:13:16 * Joseph joins Main 
20/02/2008 07:13:16 ‹ollibolli› @ work then 
20/02/2008 07:13:36 ‹Russ› I am a total Mona fanboi 
20/02/2008 07:13:48 ‹Saracenus› James Jacobs: Have you given any thought about joining us at NorWesCon yet... "One of us! One of us!" 
20/02/2008 07:13:49 ‹James Jacobs› I believe there was only one in expedition. 
20/02/2008 07:13:59 ‹Russ› Being judged worthy of advancement by him three times was a highlight of my year  
20/02/2008 07:14:01 ‹James Jacobs› I think there may have been one show up in a Maure Castle level. 
20/02/2008 07:14:09 ‹Russ› Yes, that's another one 
20/02/2008 07:14:26 ‹Russ› And a 5th one came out in Living Greyhawk, but I can't recall where. 
20/02/2008 07:14:31 * ollibolli quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 07:14:33 ‹Russ› Maybe As He Lay Dying. 
20/02/2008 07:14:34 ‹James Jacobs› I've given a little thought to NorWesCon... but not TOO much yet. 
20/02/2008 07:15:15 ‹Russ› I think I'll stuff one into that lovely aboleth city. 
20/02/2008 07:15:16 ‹Saracenus› I recomend day tripping Saturday if anything else... 
20/02/2008 07:15:36 ‹Saracenus› Though the parties and other events in the evening are a blast too 
20/02/2008 07:16:04 ‹Burrito› NorWesCon? 
20/02/2008 07:16:47 ‹Saracenus› Seattle SciFi/Fantasy convention on Easter Weekend 
20/02/2008 07:17:00 ‹Burrito› That... hmmm. 
20/02/2008 07:17:07 ‹Saracenus› The Philp K. Dick award is presented there 
20/02/2008 07:17:18 ‹Burrito› I was actually already going to be in Seattle over spring break... 
20/02/2008 07:17:26 ‹Burrito› ...Crazy if I could actually go to a con. 
20/02/2008 07:17:46 ‹Burrito› There's probably, like, gaming! 
20/02/2008 07:17:47 ‹Saracenus› March 20-23 
20/02/2008 07:18:11 ‹James Jacobs› (checks super-aggressive Pathfinder schedule) 
20/02/2008 07:18:21 ‹James Jacobs› eew 
20/02/2008 07:18:26 ‹James Jacobs› I doubt that I'll be there. 
20/02/2008 07:18:26 ‹Lilith› Pathfinder is a harsh mistress James Jacobs.  
20/02/2008 07:18:29 ‹Saracenus› Only a little gaming, but there are some awsome panels, Erik Mona is doing them again with some other steller DMs 
20/02/2008 07:18:40 ‹James Jacobs› Yes she is. 
20/02/2008 07:18:53 ‹Saracenus› You are so whipped JJ 
20/02/2008 07:19:01 ‹James Jacobs› March 20-23 is more or less right where we'll MAYBE FINALLY be caught up. 
20/02/2008 07:19:04 ‹Burrito› That works too. 
20/02/2008 07:19:54 * Russ doesn't want to pay the bloody gas 
20/02/2008 07:20:11 ‹Burrito› Take the train! 
20/02/2008 07:20:14 ‹Joseph› Preemptive congrats on the possible catching up, James. 
20/02/2008 07:20:25 ‹Burrito› The train is an experience more people should have! 
20/02/2008 07:21:02 ‹Joseph› Though that brings me to something I've been wondering about. 
20/02/2008 07:22:10 ‹Joseph› When you work so long and hard under stressful circumstances on a hobby you love, is it hard for you to go back to it as a hobby? Does it retain the work related stress, or is it as fun as ever to get back into? 
20/02/2008 07:23:43 ‹Russ› I suspect he loves his job even with the stresss 
20/02/2008 07:26:03 ‹James Jacobs› I do love this job. 
20/02/2008 07:26:39 ‹Blazej› Good! ? 
20/02/2008 07:26:55 ‹Joseph› I hoped. 
20/02/2008 07:27:00 ‹James Jacobs› And although of late it's made playing the game difficult simply because I don't have as much TIME to play... I still play relatively regularly. It's still a blast to sit down and inflict, say, the crazed politics of Scuttlecove on a group of friends. 
20/02/2008 07:28:01 ‹Joseph› I just remember horror stories about people who put their all in the work side of the game, and it burns them out when it comes to playing. It's just nice to hear that's not always the case 
20/02/2008 07:28:23 ‹Russ› I burned out somewhat badly when I was an LG Triad member 
20/02/2008 07:28:33 ‹Russ› It took Age of Worms to bring back the joy of running and writing 
20/02/2008 07:30:22 ‹Saracenus› I burned out after running the RPGA portion of Gamestorm 2005, I took a break and then started a home game with some good friends 
20/02/2008 07:31:46 ‹James Jacobs› Yeah... burn-out is a fear, certainly. I've seen it happen, both to friends and co-workers. 
20/02/2008 07:31:47 * Sothal@work joins Main 
20/02/2008 07:31:48 ‹James Jacobs› It's not good. 
20/02/2008 07:31:58 * Samwise works on more LG cores containing impending doom 
20/02/2008 07:32:03 ‹Samwise› muohahahahahahahahahaha 
20/02/2008 07:32:05 ‹Samwise› (ha) 
20/02/2008 07:34:34 ‹James Jacobs› Was just looking at the newly-arrived sketch for the barbarian iconic we got in a few days ago. She's awesome. One of the best ones yet, I think. And also: her sword will enrage a subset of our readers, I fear. It's pretty huge... 
20/02/2008 07:34:49 ‹James Jacobs› But I think it looks great. 
20/02/2008 07:34:58 ‹James Jacobs› Just like long elf ears look great. 
20/02/2008 07:35:02 ‹Lilith›  
20/02/2008 07:35:05 ‹Lilith› Gnome druid! 
20/02/2008 07:35:08 ‹Lilith› Can't wait to see that one. 
20/02/2008 07:35:17 ‹Samwise› an oversized sword? 
20/02/2008 07:35:18 ‹Lilith› Female barbarian...half-elf? 
20/02/2008 07:35:20 * Samwise frenzies 
20/02/2008 07:35:20 ‹Lilith› Or human? 
20/02/2008 07:36:56 ‹Russ› Ugh. Anime swords suck. 
20/02/2008 07:37:07 ‹James Jacobs› Female human barbarian. 
20/02/2008 07:37:53 ‹Lilith› Sweet. 
20/02/2008 07:38:00 ‹Lilith› I'm assuming Shoanti? 
20/02/2008 07:38:00 ‹Saracenus› James Jacobs: You gave the Barbarian a Buster Sword? 
20/02/2008 07:38:13 ‹James Jacobs› Wayne gave her a big sword, yes. 
20/02/2008 07:38:18 ‹James Jacobs› She's not Shoanti. 
20/02/2008 07:38:19 ‹Lilith› Or maybe...from the Lands of the Linnorm Kings? 
20/02/2008 07:38:29 ‹James Jacobs› She's from the north. 
20/02/2008 07:38:32 ‹Lilith› Keen! 
20/02/2008 07:38:41 ‹James Jacobs› Perhaps from the Lands of the Linnorm Kings. More likely from the Hold of the Mammoth Lords. 
20/02/2008 07:38:49 ‹Lilith› Cool! 
20/02/2008 07:38:56 * Blazej quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 07:39:29 ‹James Jacobs› I'm considering when I stat her up to give her a Large-sized bastard sword and then working that into her history somehow. Not sure yet. 
20/02/2008 07:39:33 ‹Russ› Are we going to have any female inconics that aren't human or elven ? 
20/02/2008 07:39:47 ‹James Jacobs› Female gnome druid 
20/02/2008 07:39:54 ‹Russ› Good. 
20/02/2008 07:39:56 ‹James Jacobs› So: yes. 
20/02/2008 07:40:03 ‹Russ› I'd like to see a female dwarf one of these days  
20/02/2008 07:40:08 ‹Russ› With beard! 
20/02/2008 07:40:15 ‹James Jacobs› Unless Wayne changes her to a guy. 
20/02/2008 07:40:33 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Is a resident of Korvosa considered Varisian, or Chelaxian? 
20/02/2008 07:41:10 ‹Lilith› Or does that vary? 
20/02/2008 07:41:14 ‹James Jacobs› That's kinda complicated. 
20/02/2008 07:41:22 ‹Lilith› Of course.  
20/02/2008 07:41:33 ‹James Jacobs› If said resident is of Varisian blood and is obviously Varisian in appearance, he'd be considered a Varisian. 
20/02/2008 07:42:22 ‹James Jacobs› Most of Korvosa's citizens are mixed Varisian/Chelish blood now. But there's a fair amount of pureblood Chelaxians in the upper class, even though 99% of them are native born Varisians. 
20/02/2008 07:43:05 ‹Russ› So how's that gaz coming?  
20/02/2008 07:43:17 ‹Lilith› Guide to Korvosa as well... 
20/02/2008 07:43:26 ‹James Jacobs› It's close. Erik's in theory finishing off his work on it tonight, so that Sarah can start laying it out tomorrow. 
20/02/2008 07:43:40 ‹James Jacobs› Guide to Korvosa is on a boat heading here, somewhere out at sea. 
20/02/2008 07:44:31 ‹Lilith› Sweet! 
20/02/2008 07:44:42 * Russ is dying for clear race information 
20/02/2008 07:44:44 ‹Lilith› Any chance of a preview 2-page spread of the Guide in the blog? 
20/02/2008 07:46:45 ‹Sothal@work› hello! 
20/02/2008 07:47:22 * Lilith waves at Sothal. 
20/02/2008 07:47:39 * Stegger quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 07:47:45 ‹Sothal@work› Anyone heard that Batman is going to die? 
20/02/2008 07:49:23 ‹Joseph› Batman never dies. He just naps for a while. 
20/02/2008 07:53:48 ‹Russ› He got his spine broken once 
20/02/2008 07:54:19 ‹Saracenus› Batmite! 
20/02/2008 07:54:22 ‹Russ› Did we get any dish about the new player's guide tonight? 
20/02/2008 07:54:30 ‹Russ› Ace, the Bat Hound 
20/02/2008 07:55:05 ‹Lilith› Russ: It's available for download right now. 
20/02/2008 07:55:10 ‹Lilith› Has been since last week. 
20/02/2008 07:55:13 ‹Russ› eek!  
20/02/2008 07:55:22 ‹Russ› I somehow missed that during my post-contest vacation 
20/02/2008 07:55:51 ‹Joseph› It contains 100% awesome by volume. 
20/02/2008 07:56:07 * James Jacobs quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 07:56:09 ‹Saracenus› Russ: I think you will like the Heraldry for Korsova... its strangely familiar 
20/02/2008 07:57:08 ‹James Jacobs› Woah 
20/02/2008 07:57:11 ‹James Jacobs› I'm back. 
20/02/2008 07:57:22 ‹Lilith› Timeout! Oh noes!  
20/02/2008 07:57:30 ‹James Jacobs› A 2-page spread of Guide to Korvosa on the blog? 
20/02/2008 07:57:31 * Lilith casts dimensional anchor on James Jacobs. 
20/02/2008 07:57:40 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: That would be made of awesome, yes.  
20/02/2008 07:57:41 ‹James Jacobs› That's actually a good idea! 
20/02/2008 07:58:00 ‹Lilith› I try to have good ideas. The bad ones get me in trouble.  
20/02/2008 07:58:14 ‹James Jacobs› I might just do that for next Monday, in fact, which lets me put off writing a more substantial post for that one, which was starting to worry me. 
20/02/2008 07:58:46 ‹Lilith›  
20/02/2008 07:58:49 ‹Lilith› Woo-hoo! 
20/02/2008 08:01:29 * Daigle returns 
20/02/2008 08:01:35 ‹Lilith› Adam! Yay! 
20/02/2008 08:01:40 ‹Daigle› What's shakin'? 
20/02/2008 08:02:36 ‹Lilith› James is stuck at work!  
20/02/2008 08:03:36 ‹Daigle› How stuck?  Like super-glue stuck? 
20/02/2008 08:03:46 ‹Daigle› Wild animals parading outside the doors? 
20/02/2008 08:03:50 ‹Lilith› He's gotta write stuffs. 
20/02/2008 08:03:53 ‹Lilith›  
20/02/2008 08:04:28 ‹Daigle› In my tired state, I read that as smurfs initially. 
20/02/2008 08:04:32 ‹Burrito› And we're really helping with that, I'm sure. 
20/02/2008 08:04:46 ‹Joseph› I was thinking Wisconsin style stuck. The you can't find your car in the parking lot, and it's the only one there stuck. 
20/02/2008 08:05:03 ‹Daigle› I'll kick in a thousand words to help.  
20/02/2008 08:05:30 ‹James Jacobs› I'm almost done! 
20/02/2008 08:05:30 ‹Daigle› Joseph, that's pretty stuck. 
20/02/2008 08:05:40 ‹James Jacobs› Only about 100 words to go! 
20/02/2008 08:05:48 ‹Joseph› I'll kick in a thousand as well. They'll all be "homogenous", but there'll be a thousand of them 
20/02/2008 08:05:53 * Takasi prepping Burning Sky changes his/her nickname to Takasi 
20/02/2008 08:05:58 ‹James Jacobs› HA! no... it's a Deadline Hell kind of stuck. 
20/02/2008 08:06:12 ‹Takasi› wow, you're never still here after my game James 
20/02/2008 08:06:34 ‹Takasi› what are you working on? 
20/02/2008 08:11:57 ‹James Jacobs› I'm writing the intro for Classic Monsters Revisited. We'd like to get it shipped to the printer on Friday... and as I was working on Pathfinder 9's adventure earlier I realized that the intro for Classic Monsters hadn't been written. 
20/02/2008 08:12:16 ‹James Jacobs› So... I kinda fell on the sword and am now in the process of finishing off a 1000 word or so intro. 
20/02/2008 08:12:17 ‹Joseph› Ouch 
20/02/2008 08:12:26 ‹James Jacobs› Closer to 1,400 words, that is. 
20/02/2008 08:13:04 ‹Daigle› I hope we didn't infect your mind as you wrote it. 
20/02/2008 08:15:08 ‹James Jacobs› Maybe... 
20/02/2008 08:15:11 ‹James Jacobs› DONE! 
20/02/2008 08:15:29 ‹James Jacobs› 1271 words. Is close enough. Sarah can use her magic art tricks to pad it out. 
20/02/2008 08:15:43 ‹Joseph› In the words of WoW: Ding! 
20/02/2008 08:15:43 ‹Lilith› Hee hee. 
20/02/2008 08:15:49 ‹Lilith› Those are good art tricks... 
20/02/2008 08:15:53 ‹Lilith› ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! 
20/02/2008 08:16:14 ‹Joseph› Now go home! You need rest before you go to work... 
20/02/2008 08:16:18 * Joseph checks clock 
20/02/2008 08:16:24 ‹Joseph› ...today... 
20/02/2008 08:16:52 * Daigle check clock....yesterday. 
20/02/2008 08:18:53 ‹Saracenus› Night all, got much to do in the morning... its been fun... Happy Haunting... and my new war cry, "LEMBAS!" 
20/02/2008 08:19:21 ‹Samwise› granola bars 
20/02/2008 08:20:02 ‹Saracenus› Trail Mix! 
20/02/2008 08:20:15 ‹Saracenus› Gorp! 
20/02/2008 08:20:28 ‹Saracenus› But I digress... night all 
20/02/2008 08:20:41 ‹Lilith› Night Saracenus! 
20/02/2008 08:20:44 ‹Joseph› I too, must be off. 
20/02/2008 08:21:18 ‹Joseph› I have to be up in six hours to take a trip to my friendly not so local game shop I haven't been to since I got out of cards 
20/02/2008 08:21:32 * Saracenus quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 08:21:55 ‹Russ› Gee, Will Farrell doing the same movie AGAIN, and I will fail to see it AGAIN 
20/02/2008 08:22:10 ‹Daigle› Night Joseph and Sarc...crap 
20/02/2008 08:22:29 ‹James Jacobs› OK! 
20/02/2008 08:23:01 * Joseph quit (timeout) 
20/02/2008 08:23:28 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: You finally going home James? 
20/02/2008 08:23:34 * Lilith thinks James needs to go home. 
20/02/2008 08:24:07 ‹Lilith› And sleep. 
20/02/2008 08:24:42 * Daigle should think about that sometime soon as well. 
20/02/2008 08:25:10 ‹James Jacobs› I am! Off to home! Before sleep, I need to log into Warcraft, though, and buy me my fancy Season 3 Arena hat! It's the FUGLIEST hat in the game, but it's got some kick ass stats! OH! And then I need to read some more of Duma Key! Sleep will happen around 3:00 AM. 
20/02/2008 08:25:29 ‹Lilith›  
20/02/2008 08:25:44 ‹Lilith› Okays 
20/02/2008 08:25:44 ‹James Jacobs› Might get me another dream like the one I had this morning. The one about Seinfeld and his new reality-based TV show: "WHO WANTS TO GET SHOT BY AN ARROW?" 
20/02/2008 08:25:46 * Daigle is on the 3am plan 
20/02/2008 08:25:54 * Lilith is as well some nights. 
20/02/2008 08:26:14 ‹Daigle› That's an awesome dream 
20/02/2008 08:26:36 ‹James Jacobs› It was pretty damn stressful at the time. But once I was awake, yeah. Had to write that one down. 
20/02/2008 08:26:45 ‹Daigle› I'm a purveyor of dreams, and that one would be a great REM line-up. 
20/02/2008 08:27:28 ‹James Jacobs› I had another good one after that one today, but it vanished too fast. 
20/02/2008 08:27:30 ‹James Jacobs› ANYway. 
20/02/2008 08:27:34 ‹James Jacobs› I'm out! Seeya all next time. 
20/02/2008 08:27:43 ‹Blazej› http://www.penny-arcade.com/co...8/01/02 
20/02/2008 08:27:48 ‹Daigle› Have a good night Dr jacobs 
20/02/2008 08:27:51 ‹James Jacobs› (At least traffic will be a breeze!) 
20/02/2008 08:27:56 ‹Daigle› Thanks for all you do! 
20/02/2008 08:27:57 ‹Blazej› Good night! ?
