@BESW he had so many of them, too! IIRC his first iteration was 2x Voracious Learner, Regeneration, and Transform -- and he transformed and acquired Regeneration and Transform (again).

Hi hi.

@doppelgreener are you ready for space pirates in 2.5 hours?

@JuneShores I will be :)

4:32 PM

@doppelgreener Cool beans.

5:04 PM

@Chemus thank you, helpful yoda. that is right.

Zachiel

@doppelgreener I find it appropriate that you get counsel from another green creature.

@Zachiel Me too!

@BlackVegetable It's not my move, but I do have the link! Player missed a session move - DungeonWorld Reddit

@doppelgreener apparently, the idea of building a list of all buffs to a certain value is not working, because some bonuses are not fixed but calculated, therefore I can't pre-generate them :(

@Zachiel then you will need a calculateBuffValue() method or something

Zachiel

and a different one for each spell or effect, so my firt task will be "calculate the correct caster level for this spell, based on feats, equip and classes. Good luck, Zachiel, you will need it.

hey there @JuneShores

Hay.

how're things going?

Going alright.

Prepping for a Pokemon campaign starting tomorrow.

ah. pondering a 5e wizard-who-thinks-he's-a-ranger for use as a NPC

Cool.

9:50 PM

will need to talk to someone more versed in 5e than I re: the build though

@JuneShores good luck!

Thanks, @doppelgreener.

The next week is going to be interesting. I'm gonna push this freelance artist thing and this self-teaching thing. Gotta get organized. Much more organized.

10:08 PM

Sounds great. :)

Pokemon campaign?

@JuneShores What system?

@BESW There's a stargate game? Oh boy

@SPavel There is! BESW has the grand plan for it; Trogdor and I will be playing SG team members who're exploring plot threads the SG-1 show never handled in depth.

SPavel

Such as: How did Daniel, a crackpot archaeology professor, get so damn buff?

11:01 PM

@SPavel he somehow has expertise and knowledge in dozens of subjects each single one of which it would take a professor a lifetime of study to accumulate whilst just being in his 30's, i want to know what kind of time magic let him do all of that and get to the gym.

trogdor

he Ascended obviously, then he time traveled

SPavel

@doppelgreener Dr McNinja used clones, maybe that's how

A: I've been told my question is better suited to a forum, but where should I go?

@SmokeDetector 💩💥🔥☠️

Wizards of the Coast's D&D Lifeboat @ Enworld As of Nov 5th, WOTC closed their community forums. Enworld has created a "lifeboat" and moved over most, if not all of the forum content. Things are a bit messy right now as users claim ownership over their posts and whatnot, but the content has been...

Hi everyone. The link in this answer to the Enworld WotC Lifeboat forum has gone dead. I've pinged @JoshuaAslanSmith about it but figured I should also reach out here since we've got a bunch of D&D experts and probably fans of Enworld. Is there an equivalent link available we should be pointing to?

11:39 PM

uh oh -- did the lifeboat sink? :/

I figure they didn't just delete it without moving useful content elsewhere.

Greetings all, I am baching it this weekend. May the Moosehead be with me.

@BlackVegetable If you need me to, I can try and sacrifice a few virgins and cast that ninth level spell Summon SSD. There will be a finders fee, however ....

hey there @KorvinStarmast

@KorvinStarmast SSD already found his summons and answered it, don't worry about it :)

Drinking, I am. Maybe I ought to go on Roll20 and join a random game

@Shalvenay Good, the virgins will be pleased to remain among the living.

@KorvinStarmast But are you a good drinkin' gamin' fool, or a bad drinkin' gamin' fool?

11:48 PM

More good than bad. My old friend in the EPT campaign used to smoke Thai Stick, I stuck to beer.

As I have never just tried to join into a roll20 game at random, maybe I should just to experience that ... might learn a few things

heheh. P.S I have a bit of time (an hour or so) right now if you wish to hop over to the Spoil-Lair and talk some more, but I can understand if you'd rather be sober when doing that

I am not good to you on that, your scenario is on my Sunday Morning Breakfast and coffee reading list. You are on the schedule. :)

Dog puked on the carpet again this afternoon, so it's been a weird day.

@KorvinStarmast okiedokie -- I should be able to catch you sometime tomorrow then no?

OK, I have made a beer influenced command decision. Off to roll20 I go, to see who'll want another body for the adventure. Random life moment approaches ...

Yeah, in the morning CST.

Sorry, CDT. (I keep forgetting about that ...)

@Chemus -- may I ask what systems/games you play btw?

11:55 PM

I mostly know/play dnd 3.5, I started in 2e, and have played a very little Shadowrun and LARP'ed (very poorly) VtM about 3 times...15+ years ago.

You?

I've played basically every D&D edition (incl PF) save for 4e (and DMed 3.5e and 5e), played and DMed (badly) Fate, played Roll for Shoes + a bit of DW, classic Traveller, Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple, Against the Darkness, and a smidge of Numenera

want to try Savage Worlds, either GURPS or Mutants & Masterminds, maybe Burning Wheel...
