@KorvinStarmast that's the idea XD. although I wonder if one could make a flying relativistic mirror work in the visible spectrum (it's more commonly used for X-ray work)

Ben

Morning lads and ladies

Mike Q

Good Aussie morning to ya

Ben

@MikeQ I am still having issues getting a DH group together. This is harder than I thought haha

Mike Q

If you're trying to find someone to DM a group of players, it's gonna be very hard. DMing takes a lot of work.

Even wrangling together a group of players - who don't necessarily need to do all that prep - is difficult enough.

Ben

Indeed

I do have 2 people that would be willing to GM... both are keen for a game to fill there time/needs. However one does not like the Dark Heresy dystopian theme, and the other is unfortunately too busy

Mike Q

1:21 AM

I mean... one could reflavor the system and mechanics to fit a different setting

Ben

Indeed. I even suggested Rogue Trader for that same reason.

Mike Q

Ah yes. That could help. The fear and insanity mechanics mean the system is suited for dystopian cyberpunk horror, but with the proper paint job, it could become generic scifi, possibly a space opera style

Ben

But alas, they did not seem overly interested in it :(

Hrmm, that is a point

I might maybe have a sort of paying job soon, working for the dad of one of my high school friends. it isn't full-time at the moment, just an exploratory research-type job. going into the office to discuss it tomorrow

exciting stuff

Shalvenay

@V2Blast nice :)

trogdor

@V2Blast awesome

I hope you have as good a time as you can and learn all you need from it

And that it lasts exactly as long as you want it and need it to before the next thing

Unless there isn't a next thing because you rise the ranks and crush your former co-workers beneath your authority XD

Your hopefully benevolent authority

Ben

@V2Blast Very nice

Magician

I've only been here for 5 minutes and trogdor is already plotting a coup.

Hi, been a while, how're you folks doing?

Ben

Trog is always plotting a coup. He just needs a situation to apply it :P

trogdor

4:27 AM

Rrrrawr grrrr

XD

One day, one day you will all see

My grand plot to reshape the word towards my vision will be a reality

Tremble in unconvinced fear

Ben

@Magician I've been employed as an incentive for a DM to get themselves in gear to start the next session for a friend's D&D game. I don't know why, or how that is meant to work though. Lol

Magician

Coffee and supplication, mostly

Ben

They added me to a discord chat, and have been making strong hints as to my presence as an incentive to get things going.

trogdor

One day, I will finally have the power to gather all the world's cheese into a rocket and shoot it into the moon!

Muhahahaha!

Ben

4:32 AM

@Magician it's pretty good except for the whole Typhoon aftemath thing

Ben

@trogdor How bad was it exactly?

trogdor

That being said at least things are already on a pace towards getting back to normal

@Ben not exceptionally bad

This is the first one we have had in a while but it was pretty weak all things considered

Ben

That's good. BESW mentioned it wasn't as bad as expected

trogdor

And it moved so fast that it wasn't on us long

Some of our neighboring islands had it much worse

And those still in it's possible path of approach...

Might get it while it's stronger

All in all I think most of us here on Guam remember our past typhoons well enough that we were prepared for this

Ben

Hopefully it doesn't get too bad

trogdor

4:36 AM

Yeah

I hope so

Ben

@trogdor Indeed. We have similar issues with Cyclones. Our last one was a Cat 5, as was the one before it, but since we prepared properly for them both, nothing bad happened.

The last one was actually not all that memorable. It just sort of happened... we cleaned up... back to work on Monday haha

trogdor

@Ben never experienced a cyclone

Ben

And I've never experienced a Typhoon. Lol

trogdor

@Ben ah it was bad enough that I only went back to work today

That being said, my parents workplaces were ready yesterday

Mine just had an issue with roof leaks

Which was a problem before the storm

@Ben hehe

I don't know how much of it to blame on lack of preparation for the storm but typically all Typhoon action causes power loss here

Luckily not everyone lost water too but some did

There are probably some people without either still

And I don't mean those people not preparing to be clear

I mean the government and the utilities companies

Shalvenay

yeah, you'd think your power utility would have an active undergrounding program for one

trogdor

4:45 AM

They get, at the very least teased for minimum prep and speed of work and such

I won't say that is always entirely deserved but they have issued inane statements about why things aren't progressing before XD

Like blaming power being out on tiny tree snakes

@Shalvenay that doesn't sound like minimum effort to me :P

Shalvenay

@trogdor go look up the amount of damage CyberSquirrel1 has been responsible for :P

@trogdor haha, it isn't.

Ben

And how is @Magician?

Magician

Well that's a loaded question

Ben

[Insert pun]

trogdor

@Magician but how does that make you feel ?

Magician

4:52 AM

I dunno, why don't you ask him

Going slightly nutty, staring at a massive Blades in the Dark review I'm working on.

trogdor

I didn't ask him I asked you XP

Him can answer when I bother to ask him something

@Magician ah sorry to hear that

I hope you can satisfy yourself with the effort you put into it

Ben

@Magician Them feels

trogdor

I know that's hard to do sometimes

Ben

I have been having the same issues with my Diablo game, though likely in a different way. As I write, I keep thinking "oh, that's a good idea", get sidetracked, develop that, then come back to the original plot, which is still just barebones.

9:26 AM

@trogdor returning it all to where it rightly belongs
