Similar for me at least for the summer. Given advance notice I can schedule things more or less as I see fit.

If the time remains the same I'm fine with it.

Mask_De_H · Post by **Mask_De_H** » Sun May 16, 2010 2:43 am

I'm down from 12PM EST to 12AM EST, with scheduling given in advance. I'm trying to pull down a job so I don't know when my hours will be yet.

No, not this weekend. I am covering for my supervisor, and tonight my brother comes in, so I will not have time this week.

ubernoob · Post by **ubernoob** » Sun May 23, 2010 8:52 pm

This monday is not going to work for me as I am running a one shot with a friend that leaves town on tuesday. Tuesday should be fine for me though.

Kaelik · Post by **Kaelik** » Tue May 25, 2010 4:52 pm

Who would attend if I said we start at 2 today?

EDIT: okay, so here's the problem(s).

1) I hate DMing, and I like Playing, and I'm only doing WLD module because I don't have the energy to actually flesh out one of my ideas for a much better campaign because I like designing ideas, but hate implementing them as DM.

2) I never get to play, because all DMs quit after the third session, because DMing sucks.

3) I'm going to quit after the third session, because DMing sucks.

So in other words, this fucking sucks, and no one ever gets to be happy.

Does anyone in the universe actually like DMing D&D 3.5/Tome?

I can play at 2

Koumei · Post by **Koumei** » Wed May 26, 2010 2:56 am

I was going to say "2 where? Put it in my timezone." but that seems to be moot anyway.

I like DMing, but:

1) not on IRC, because players are useless fucks who never fucking turn up.
2) not for you people, because my style is generally a slightly silly, light-hearted, fairly sexualised thing (see: the suggested thing for "Do my work for me", Sigil Prep etc.), and I don't like many of you, and last time someone from here made a character for a D&D game I was running, when I specifically laid out "All your numbers must be in these ranges", he ignored that and made a character with basically "Triple all those numbers".
3) I'm unwell and the codeine isn't working so I'm grumpy and would rather sleep/draw porn

tl;dr, fuck you.

Actually yeah, I do, but I don't enjoy PBP or IRC games very much.

Well in my limited experience, I do enjoy DMing Real Life much more than IRC.

But I lack access to RL people.

So yeah. Balls.

But I'm mostly looking for someone to take over this game for these people, because I like most of them, and don't want to deprive them.

Koumei, 2 is one hour before we were normally starting.

Also, Please Please tell me it was JE with the X3 numbers. I would love you forever if you told me it was JE.

I do, in fact I'm running a Tome game right now. These are all tome versions if applicable. There's a warmage, kantian paladin, assassin, and illusionist.

Hahaha, I'm not saying you're psychic or anything, but yeah. He did apologise and tone the character down after I bitched about it though.

Eh...I sorta considered playing this, but it didn't really go anywhere on my end. Personally, I prefer IRC and IRL to Pbp. I simply cannot do pbp, D&D takes long enough in person or IRL without posting on boards waiting for responses.

Eh, I'm running a game right now, but it's not really tome. Could have a spot for 1-2 players if anybody is interested.

It's not psychic to guess that it's JE. His specialty is ruining games.

Dominicius · Post by **Dominicius** » Wed May 26, 2010 6:06 pm

I was actually going to inform everybody that I wouldn't be able to make it today.

So... yay?

Mask_De_H · Post by **Mask_De_H** » Thu May 27, 2010 3:15 am

I could do it, seeing as how I haven't run enough games to become bitter, jaded, and hateful of all of you fucks.

I can run Tome, and I'd like to mess around with the shiny new copy of Legends of Anglerre that I got, but I need to go through the book with a hacksaw.

Actually, if people were interested in working through that system with me, that could be a fun way to pass the time before it inevitably devolves into bitching and hate like everything else.

Honestly I have no idea wtf Legends of Anglerre is, and so I am pretty hesitant about it.

I also don't feel as bad jumping in as a player since the number of people in the game that I feel obligated to like dropped from 4 to 3 when Calibron rage quit TGD because I'm a mean bigot.

Mask_De_H · Post by **Mask_De_H** » Thu May 27, 2010 11:07 pm

It's the newest FATE 3.0 game, pretty simple to pick up and I like it so far. It's more on the Magical Tea Party side of things, but there's some solid crunchy bits there too.

Also, rage quitting is such a tragic thing, especially over something so trivial. I would call you many things (douchebag, threadshitter, sperglord, neckbeard), but mean bigot is most assuredly not one of them.

What's a SpergLord?

Mask_De_H · Post by **Mask_De_H** » Fri May 28, 2010 6:14 am

SA\general internet term, somebody who flips out about trivial shit. It is akin to someone who has an autism spectrum disorder (or would say they have one online).

Koumei · Post by **Koumei** » Fri May 28, 2010 6:44 am

Oh right, (a)sperg(ers) lord. I just call them ass-pies despite being one.

Now that finals are over for me, I'd be willing to play in a hypothetical Legends of Anglerre game after I get around to updating Desire and the Dead. I have access to the PDF, but have only skimmed it, and have a vague idea of how the Fate system works through somewhat more detailed skimming of the Dresden Files RPG beta.

Tempted to grab the necromancer archetype, but the minions would probably slow the game too much. Maybe I could just throw aspects together and build a character off of what I come up with. Some idea as to what the setting was like would be necessary for that.

Tome is also doable, but I have a tendency to prefer giving very vague directions for round-to-round combat tactics. Kaelik's Red Hand of Doom game is a decent example.

I prefer play by post on forums for a number of reasons, but the biggest one is that the format means you can take time on your posts. I've found that this helps immersion and means vastly less guilt about being unable to post at particular times or in general, a glacially slow pace to the game.

Huh.

You are the sanest asspie I think I've ever seen on the internet.

PbP is okay, and if I can jack Dominicus' IRC channel, I could go that route too.
