12:00 AM
Good morning/evening/morrow everyone!
I have one of each. Grab em while they last!
 
Hello!
 
Morning!
 
Ben
How is everybody
 
Getting sucked back into Terraria again
 
Ben
Delicious
 
12:04 AM
I play Terraria with my daughter. We're still relatively early in the game, though. Fought the second boss once, but haven't beat it.
 
Oh man, I forgot Terraria existed.
 
My daughter likes to watch me play
I'm giving the new Expert mode a god
 
Been wasting my time on Elona instead. Soul... sucking... game...
 
SHOULD be reading Data Trails again and prepping for my group for this Friday
But ugh, and eh
 
Heh. I know the feeling. I should be cleaning but... [stares at Elona's icon, attempts to summon willpower]
 
Ben
12:08 AM
With friends: Minecraft. Without friends: Dark Souls.
My gaming career has devolved into those two games.
 
Ahh, I need to play some MC again too. I keep paying for a server I never use. =w=
 
Ben
Well, I think I can see an issue with that haha
 
I was going to work on a new Char Gen tool for Shadowrun 5e but blaaaaah Catalyst has me jaded
 
Ben
Also, @BESW High five for you too :)
 
I have a recurring discount so I'm getting a 2GB server for $5 a month, which is amazing, and my friends and I used to play, but then we adulted. xD
If I cancel it and want it again, that discount will not be available. :P
 
12:10 AM
Yey! [treasures]
 
Ben
@Pixie I adulted the other day actually. I didn't enjoy it
 
I don't adult, but I mildly professional when I have to

Q: Creating a city made of illusion that won't be quickly figured out

FeanorekWe are playing DnD5e in custom world. This is going to be my first time as DM. Currently I'm trying to get my first adventure together. My idea was to trap my players in the city, which is just an illusion made by Very Evil Black Mage. Just on the very end the players are going to dispel the illu...

Is there a tag like for locations?
 
Ben
Now I just need to wait for @doppelgreener to show up...
 
I have a feeling there's something like that but I'm not sure
@Ben Oh hi!
You have summoned me so effectively I arrived before you even did so.

Ben
12:12 AM
[rubs hands together]
I'm ready this time
 
(Also doppel has the 'e' and 'l' the other way around, since it's a non-English word)
 
Ben
@doppelgreener very timely
now - to business
High five
 
haha
 
@Ben [raises glass] To business!
 
Ben
@Miniman EAT
 
12:16 AM
[begins belting out that song from Mulan while engaging in high-five training with @Ben]
 
Oh right!
I was going to make Shan Yu for Friday
 
Ben
You all sang it in your head
 
:P
 
Sang it? I am still singing it in my head.
 
Hell, I'm whistling it out loud.
 
Ben
12:20 AM
I'm getting looks from people passing my office :P
@doppelgreener useful bit of information: Aim for the elbow.
 
@Ben I have tried this and it didn't actually help
 
Ben
Being a left hander, and everyone else I usually high 5 is a right hander, it's helped me before haha
 
@Ben How very...sinister...
 
Ben
@Miniman ?
 
@Ben A joke that was even weaker than I thought it was. (And that's saying something.)
 
Ben
12:28 AM
I had one friend that I practiced with regularly. We got so good that we were able to make a clap noise so loud it temporarily deafened us both, and rendered our hands unusable for the net 15-20 minutes
@Miniman Did you know you can't run in camping grounds?
You can only ran, cos it's past tents badum-tss

Wow
I didn't know where that was going
 
Ben
You're welcome haha
Aaaaand... day ruined
The milk's gone sour so my coffee is ruined :(
 
:(
 
Ben
OK, maybe a bit of a dramatization. My day isn't ruined. I mean, who could be upset with a joke like that floating around :P
 
@Ben Don't look so sour!
 
12:38 AM
I could be, if I had sour milk in y coffee
 
Ben
tears haha
 
1:11 AM
@SevenSidedDie see up here, is there a tag for this thing?
I've got this gut feeling there totally is yet I can't for the life of me recall what it is
 
@doppelgreener
 
> Questions about designing location-based adventure environments, both above and below ground.
that sounds like a poor tag name...
[takes to meta]
 
Ah, so that is not how one links a tag. :P
 
@Pixie [ tag:tag-name ]
 
Ben
1:22 AM
@Pixie [tag:tag-name]
 
@acomputingpun So, I want, like, 3 wings on mine.
 
@BESW How does this have 0 questions...
 
I even got it in before the edit window closed. You all are efficient.
 
Ben
@Magician and pinstripes
 
1:25 AM
Aaand that's not the link I wanted. xD
 
@Ben An' he should breathe ponies!
 
@BESW We had a recurring joke throughout highschool: "unicorn breath weapon."
 
Ben
@BESW no don't be silly, he should breathe rainbows
 
@Pixie Deals impaling + bludgeoning damage?
 
I've got a shirt that's presumably a unicorn and dragon fighting, but it kind of looks like the dragon is breathing the unicorn out.

Q: Can we rename [dungeon-design] to something more inclusive of non-dungeons?

doppelgreenerIn our tags, we have campaign-development for working on the sweeping project of the entire campaign world. We also have encounter-design for small-scale encounters. Creating a city made of illusion that won't be quickly figured out has been giving me some trouble edit-wise, because it needs a ...

 
So we got into a thorough discussion on the logistics of a unicorn breath weapon: if you breathe the unicorn whole, it's either going to be very painful or the dragon's nose must be incredibly elastic. It was decided that a unicorn breath weapon is "a mist that precipitates into unicorns."

What about a cloud of tiny unicorns?
 
Exceptionally tiny unicorns are also acceptable.
 
Ben
@BESW winged unicorns
I'm coming around to the unicorn breath weapon idea
 
1:30 AM
@Pixie I thought you were about to discuss a unicorn's breath weapon, but no.
 
@doppelgreener No, see, that is where the rainbows come in.
 
Ben
@doppelgreener we're getting into
 
I had one acquaintance who just said "UNICORN BREATH WEAPON!" every time he saw me, especially in the correct shirt, and we started challenging people to say, "The most feasible mechanism is a gas that precipitates into unicorns." very seriously without laughing.
 
Ben
So far we have a three-winged, pin striped, tiny winged unicorn breathing ball of AWESOME

Ben
1:38 AM
@Pixie CONSUMMATE V'S! CONSUMMATE
 
The shirt in question:
We have a whole dragon, but only half a unicorn, so either the unicorn is being consumed or it is forming.
 
Ben
@Pixie It's a unicorn. It does what it wants!
 
@Pixie I am now imagining a scientist who will say this seriously without laughing. This is within his area of expertise and was the determined result of his second-latest study.
 
@Ben That's true. Don't tell unicorns what to do. They'll probably just kick you.
@doppelgreener It was his life's work. No one believed, but he knew. He always knew.
 
@Pixie He may or may not be 8 years old.
(he may also be fifty)
 
1:54 AM
@doppelgreener His mom had the gall to tell him that unicorns weren't even real. Some people.
 
Ben
So after the coffee fiasco this morning, I got myself a chocolate to make myself feel better, and a hot cup of potato and bacon soup.
 
@doppelgreener "As we can see, once the reaction begins, the precipitate forms just as it does in sample 4A, except for the reduction in chromatic/crystalline structure due to the immature age of the draconic sample."
 
Ben
I'm telling everyone this cos I like you guys and want to involve you in my menial daily activites
 
@Ben That sounds delicious.
I could really go for some potato soup right now. xD Alas, that is not a quick food item.
 
Ben
@Pixie Actually, In Australia it is haha
 
1:56 AM
aaand now I want to see markov chain text-generator that uses serious academic papers and stories about unicorns and dragons
 
@acomputingpun YES.
 
Ben
@acomputingpun this has got to be a thing...
 
@acomputingpun Yes, of course, that makes sense, when that happens unicorns are the natural result. What else would happen?
 
Ben
@acomputingpun Any particular side effects that we should watch out for?
 
at least you don't have to figure out how to power a dragon's HUD :P
(because landing in a blizzard with half-mile visibility is awesome)
 
2:07 AM
why would a dragon need a HUD
 
Ben
Ohh! That's a good idea... @BESW our Dragon needs fog lights too
 
they'd have bodily senses and eyes telling them this stuff, like birds do.
 
Ben
@doppelgreener That won't help me when I'm riding him in a blizzard :P
@doppelgreener besides. It's . I can do what I want :P
 
2:24 AM
I tried plugging excerpts from Wikipedia articles on DNA, precipitation, alchemy, dragons, and unicorns into a Markov generator. More input would be good, but I'm still getting some gems... "Dragons are store the mystic, contrast, particular proteins, and the over is high enough fragment of foot, having which requires that feature in 1638 that required modern science, in producing cobras may be just an enormous serpentine creature."
 
Ah, yes, the infamously disastrous 1638 cobra/unicorn hybrid experiment.
Modern science now understands the crucial role dragon proteins play in viable unicorn/cobra crossbreeds.
 
Is there any reason to play a Warforged Scout instead of a regular Warforged..?
 
@BESW We can also recognizes that dragons are cobras with high enough fragments of foot; the cobra produced is just an enormous serpentine creature.
 
Hey.
Anyone would like to suggest me a book?
I've just finished one and am looking for another, and you people seem like a very literate bunch.
 
Ben
@Althis Well thank'ee
What sort of book were you looking for?
 
2:34 AM
I usually like fantasy, specially of the modern sort. Rothfuss, Sanderson, Butcher. Those are my favorites.
 
@Althis Shadows on the Moon
By Zoe Marriot
 
But this time I am looking for a good sci-fi piece.
 
@Althis The Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold.
 
Ben
@Althis For fantasy I'd suggest The Bartimaeus Trilogy - Book 1 is "The Amulet of Samarkand"
 
Wow. Memoir's of a Geicha x Cinderella?
I am impressed.
 
2:35 AM
Shadows on the Moon is Japanese fantasy/drama/romance.
Oh you googled it that quick Althis?
I got it cheap from a book fair at my library and it was pretty dang good. Not normally the type of thing I'd go looking for but shortly into reading it it quickly became one of my favorites.
 
Metro 2033 is a very good novel too; it's sort of a Russian post-apocalyptic Gulliver's Travels. You may disregard the video game.
 
Definitely worth the read.
 
@BESW Should I read it in chronological order?
Which order do you suggest?
 
@Althis When you're in the mood for fantasy again, may I suggest Robin Hobb. Start with the Farseer trilogy (#1 - Assassin's Apprentice)
 
The Bartimaeus Trilogy is bloody amazing too
 
2:36 AM
@Althis It helps, but it's not necessary unless you want to avoid general story-arc spoilers.
 
Definitely read it in order.
 
@Dorian I hear it is kinda like Harry Potter, right?
 
Chrestomanci is also a good series
Bartimaeus isn't so much like harry potter, but it does have that sort of mood to it.
 
Ben
@Althis Only in the sense that it's Modern day magic
 
^
 
2:38 AM
Well. Bartimeus is little, I could probably read it in a couple of days.
 
More high fantasy than Harry Potter
 
But for now I really want a good sci-fi.
So I will stick with Vorkosigan.
 
The Eyre Affair is another great book/series, but it's a different sort of thing. The first novel (which is standalone; the others have to be read in order) features a villain using mad science to kidnap a character from out of a novel and hold her ransom.
 
Ben
@Althis Basically, magicians are the upper class, they run the government and all that, and the "muggles" are the commoners, lower-class of the society. They use Djinni as the source of their power, binding them to their will with sorcery and make them do their bidding.
 
Chrestomanci is a good fantasy, not sci-fi though unless you count the parallel worlds vibe of it as sci-fi lol, definitely add that one to your list of stuff to read.
that one is very Harry Potter vibe, but better, far better.
I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and I'm saying this.
 
2:40 AM
Hm...
 
Metro 2033 is sci-fi in the post-apocalyptic sense, rather than the "humanity expanding through space" sense that Vorkosigan has.
 
Does it feel more like The Road or more like Dying Earth?
Or is it more cheery?
The thing I am asking is:
Will it make me hate my existance?
Post-apocalyptic books tend to be rather gloomy.
 
I'd say read the Abhorsen books by Garth Nix but they're not really "modern" fantasy. I mean, they take place in the modern day but the majority of the story takes place in a sort of separate world (separated by a big freaking magical wall) that is very not modern... And it's a very dark series full of obscure words (some have said Garth Nix keeps a thesaurus and only uses the most archaic words he can find lol)
 
@Dorian I have already.
 
The general concept of the Vorkosigan series is thus: shortly after being colonised, the planet Barrayar was cut off from the rest of the galaxy for a few generations when its wormhole closed. The wormhole has now re-opened, and Barrayarans are having to struggle with re-integrating into the galaxy after living with a Russian-empire-esque feudal system for so long.
 
2:42 AM
A few years ago.
 
Aah, well then lol
I loved the Abhorsen books though, some more of my favorites.
 
It's very much a story about individual people triumphing over long odds and making the universe a better place, albeit often at personal cost.
 
Trying to think of any sci-fi books I've read recently but I tend to steer away from them. I can't even think of any science-fantasy ones right now...
 
@BESW Like Ender's Game.
 
Well, besides starwars books... >.> But I haven't even read any of those in ages.
 
2:43 AM
Science fantasy is good too.
 
@Althis ....I hesitate to compare it to Ender's Game.
 
I forget how I like Numenera, until I am reminded of it.
If you know something with that feel it is certainly in my list as well.
 
Metro 2033 is... much less cheery, but still ultimately has a grain of hope for humanity. It's a travelogue, following a young man's journey through the various communities that endure at each station in the Moscow subway system after the apocalypse.
 
@BESW Because of the coming of age nature of it?
 
@Althis It's got a very different attitude toward humanity.
 
2:44 AM
Oh! I have one... But it's short and by Eoin Colfer
 
@BESW Interesting.
@Dorian That is a silly name.
But fantasy writers tend to be like that.
Like Garth Nix.
 
He wrote the Artimis Fowl books
Actually, IDK if it's his real name or not...
The book I was referring to is The Supernaturalist
6
A: Looking for a sci-fi book I read once a while back

sueellekerThe Supernaturalist by Eoin Colfer. "In the not-too-distant future, in a place called Satellite City, thirteen-year-old Cosmo Hill is unfortunate enough to come into the world unwanted by his parents. And so, as are all orphaned boys his age, Cosmo is dipped in a vaccine vat and sent to...

 
I've read Artemis Fowl as well.
I love when they combine computer science with the super natural.
 
That's his actual name I'm pretty sure. He's Irish.
 
Well if you liked them you'll probably enjoy The Supernaturalist
 
2:46 AM
Recently I've read the Atrocity Archives.
It was really interesting, if a little high brow.
 
@Althis The first novel is about two soldiers on either side of a war falling in love with each other. They marry, and the second novel is about the woman (a worldly Galactic) struggling to adapt to her husband's militant imperial culture... and then the emperor dies and her husband becomes regent to the young prince.
Most of the rest of the novels are about their son.
 
It's about as long as the average Artemis Fowl book, but it's still a fun read if you get your hands on it.
 
@BESW Ah, so it is THAT kind of sci fi. Militar sci-fi, the one that really seems to enjoy discussing the kind of gun and battlefield formation people should use.
 
@Althis Kiiinda? It's about the people, not the tactics.
 
"Dragons the pants into gold and hence population of Pythagoreaning two interactition of benefits by filtrations."
 
2:49 AM
Their son's primary struggle to overcome for the first several books is prejudice about his physical disabilities in a culture that views physical abnormality as anathema.
 
Physical abnormality?
 
Ben
@Pixie That seems like a bit of a bad trip...
 
I am impressed no one suggested me The Name of The Wind yet.
 
Oh, I just remembered one... Twinmaker by Sean Williams. It's set in a world where they have Star Trek style transporters & replicators (combined into one)... and someone starts misusing them
 
@Ben It is getting a little more coherent in ways, at least. I need to feed it more things.
 
2:50 AM
I did ask for a sci-fi thing, but you also suggested me a lot of magical stuff along the way.
 
Ben
@Pixie The beast hungers for more!
 
@Althis well you said you like Patrick Rothfuss, so I assumed you'd read that. Also, I haven't gotten around to reading it myself, so can't recommend it personally :)
 
@Althis His mother was caught in an assassination attempt on her husband with toxic gas, and so her son was born with serious skeletal defects. He's short, crabbed over, and has brittle bones--which leads to looking even more deformed when bones break and can't be set properly due to his tendency to be in the middle of war zones without support.
 
@Adeptus Yeah, forgot I did that.
 
Later on he got his back straightened out mostly, but is covered with scars from having bones replaced--and he's still less than 4'9''.
 
2:53 AM
@Dorian On the subject of the Supernaturalist, I do like orphans. For some reason.
@BESW He seems like a very interesting character.
Must I read the previous ones to understand his story?
 
@Althis Miles is smart as a whip and tends not to suffer fools gladly. You don't have to read every book in order, but the later ones do get a bit jumbly if you're not up to speed. I suggest the "Young Miles" omnibus to start, if you want his stories.
 
Will look into that.
Overall, you all validated my expectations.
A lot of non-obvious books, which is even better.
Thanks.
Hehe.
 
I'm a bit late to the party, but I can suggest something others probably can't: Strugatsky brothers.
 
Old book covers.
@Magician Well.
 
Soviet sci-fi authors, I'd recommend starting with Monday Begins on Saturday. It's lighthearted "modern fantasy" before that was really a thing.
 
3:00 AM
I have read two Culture books and found them not bad, but kinda mediocre.
Is this Noonverse akin to them?
Both seem to take place in a post-scarcity utopia.
 
I haven't actually read Cutlure, but I highly doubt it. It's the Soviet utopia.
(And Monday Begins on Saturday is not in it).
 
Oh?
 
Monday is a book about a research institute of sorcery and magic.
 
Soviet as well, I imagine?
 
Very much so. It's very positive. The sequel, Tale of the Troika is much less sunny, and is about bureaucracy inherent in Soviet systems (still in the institute).
 
3:03 AM
This seems like an interesting thing...
It is just very hard to go more original than magical research in corrupt soviet russia.
 
@Althis Living in corrupt Soviet Russia at the time helped ;)
 
@Magician Sorry, didn't know you were Russian.
 
Their early books are full of can-do Soviet optimism. Of heroic laborers doing their part for the greater betterment of everyone. Later books get more and more disillusioned.
@Althis I am, though that's hardly relevant. Strugatskys were, which is.
Their Roadside Picnic was an inspiration for Tsarkovsky's Stalker which was an inspiration for STALKER the computer game. They share little in common, other than the idea of the Zone and stalkers that go into it.
 
You know what is weird? Very few books about programmers and magic in the present day.
 
Other entry points would be Inhabited Island and Hard to be a God.
@Althis Atrocity Archives, kinda.
 
3:08 AM
Atrocity Archives is 80s if I am not mistaken.
They do not have cellphones at least.
 
@Althis They have cellphones (iPhones, even) in the sequels.
 
@Althis Laundry Files.
Less... cheery, but VERY much about programmers and magic.
 
I have not read the newer ones.
 
@BESW Same thing as Atrocity Archives (I believe that's the name of the entire series).
 
Are they good?
 
3:09 AM
@Magician Ahah.
@Althis I'm less and less entertained by them as they go. They get increasingly cynical and sadistic.
While I'm fine with things going badly--it's a series about a Lovecraftian apocalypse, after all--there's an increasing tendency towards misanthropy and sadism that I'm just not interested in reading.
 
Hey. They made an RPG out of The Laundry.
The Laundry is a role-playing game published by Cubicle 7 in 2010. == Description == The Laundry is a game where agents have to deal with the outer gods and British bureaucracy at the same time. == Publication history == Cubicle 7 used their Basic Role-Playing license to create The Laundry (2010), based on the writings of Charles Stross. The role-playing game was based on the Laundry stories and published in July 2010. The game has seen a number of supplements: Black Bag Jobs, a compilation of scenarios The Agent's Handbook which develops the agents' characters and the internal procedures of the...
Have anyone ever played this?
 
@Althis The first one is good if only because of its cool setting details.
 
Seems like a really interesting setting... As long as you are a computer science major.
@acomputingpun Those are very cool though.
 
Anyway, the point is, programmers don't write books about magic because they don't want to give away their secrets, and magic-users don't write books about programming because the market is oversaturated already.
 
Yep, that is a nerd with a XKCD t-shirt fighting literal corporate zombies.
@acomputingpun Don't you mean the opposite?
 
3:16 AM
...but yeah. I'll recommend Monday Begins on Saturday to absolutely anyone. It's a joy to read (though I have no idea how well translations handle it - probably fine?).
There are '60s programmers there, too!
 
@Magician I would read it. I really was going to choose it, were it not 60 dollars on Amazon.
And I am Brazillian, I am paying 3.2 times that.
 
@Althis Ebook version?
 
My kindle broke, and I hate reading on the cellphone.
Another option would be an audiobook, I have a few credits on Audible.
But the only audible is in Russian.
I am trying to learn russian, but I can't read a book in it yet.
Much less listen to one.
I will just save it and wait for a better offer for it.
 
Fair enough. Yeah, foreign sci-fi that's 50 years old is hard to find in print :(
 
Does anyone here keep tabs on Catalyst posts and remember when they talked about their editing process?
Or their publishing process, sorry
 
3:27 AM
Ordered The Eyre case on book, The Warrior's Apprentice on audible because people recommended the narrator, will look for Bartimeus on a local bookstore tomorrow because I don't care about reading it in Portuguese, and put Monday Begins on Saturday on my wishlist on Amazon so it warns me when the price drops.
Thanks a bunch again, fellas.
I do reserve the right to complain to you later in case I do not like the books, though.
Ceaselessly and in a moderately annoying fashion, if it must be in Haiku so be it.
 
If you decide to read more of Fforde, I recommend making Something Rotten the last.
 
Aha, found it
In case anyone is interested in what I was talking about: catalystgamelabs.tumblr.com/post/109608672701/…
 
@Codeacula Why were you looking for that?
 
@BESW Because I'm reading Data Trails (a bit more in depth this time) and there are a -lot- of editing and proofing errors
 
Ah.
 
3:36 AM
I knew they were talking about how they were going to fix it, but man...
 
Editing/proofing processes are something I need to study more for my work...
 
Now, I'll admit, I'm not a professional editor or publisher, but I've had to publish a couple directories before.
I know how easy it is for errors to get out. We had four rounds of proofing and still had mistakes, but all the people doing that weren't professional editors, just regular people.
But c'mon.
 
I need to... actually get back to looking for editing work. =w=
But yeah, that happens.
Even with professional editors. We've all found glaring mistakes in print books before. :P
 
No, I can totally understand it. There's just...a lot.
 
Ah, I see.
 
3:40 AM
And especially after they realized there's a lot, promised to fix their process and...
 
@Pixie you are an editor?
 
@Althis I have an English degree with a writing focus, but I haven't been professionally employed as an editor. I would certainly like to be, but my location and cluelessness regarding freelancing complicates matters. xD
 
Do you have published works?
 
@Pixie I have a good friend who gets freelance editing work. I might be able to get pointers on finding some for you
 
@Althis A couple, but nothing accessible. Local stuff.
 
3:42 AM
Yes/No?
 
@Codeacula I wouldn't want your friend to go to a lot of trouble, but if they have perhaps a link to a good guide, that would be great.
 
@Pixie Alright, I'll poke him tomorrow. He'd probably love to put something together, if only just to tell me about it
 
Especially if they know of any accurate resources on starting wages, because I have no idea what to do when asked to provide that...
 
@Pixie Fiction or non-fiction? If you had it posted on some print-on-demand service I would be interested in reading it.
 
@Althis Poetry and a non-fiction essay.
 
3:44 AM
I see.
 
I dabble in fiction, but I don't usually finish. :P
 
I have watched classes and courses for a very long time. Read books on it, but I don't usually have the time.
 
Poetry is my strongest suit. I really need to start submitting to journals, too. I keep meaning to do that. I sit on my poetry work like a dragon's hoard. xD
 
When I am not averting some crisis I am usually doing some making games, and occasionally playing them.
But I would REALLY like to get into it some time...
@Pixie I would like to read that as well, if you ever come around to posting it.
 
"All the chart. The hypothesis.[8]" The citation really brings the point home. This thing is on its way to becoming a real scholar.
 
3:47 AM
I am not the best critic of poetry, but I do enjoy it.
 
@Althis The problem is that previous publication, even self-publication online, hurts my shot at journal publication. I've also been hunted down online by someone I was in class with who pointed to poetry that the class had seen as an easy identifier, which sucked, but he was also right.
But, hmm. Maybe some kind of private hosting situation.
 
If that is what you want, I did something akin to that sometime ago with Dropbox folders.
 
Or me actually submitting my publishable works to online journals like I should be doing. :P
 
Ben
Ahhhhh... New milk! Now I can finally have my coffee!
 
Great segue.
