Just wanted to stop by and wish everyone a great day/night/whatever is appropriate for your time zone! Man, I wish I could regain some of my time so I could go back to spending it here.

@BESW These bad movie stunts are incredible.

...Er...

And hellfire filling peoples lungs and ash exploding into ash.

Ontological Weight is a good name for a band.

Yes. It is. But I will now never mind. =)

Well the answer to the 3.5 one has a pathfinder product, does it not? Still, I don't think it's exactly a duplicate.

Well at least there's that. I may not be happy when Order of the Stick is finished, but at least I know it will have a satisfying conclusion. An end to the story. I think that's the best fans of a series can ask for.

@Althis Aw thanks! and @Sandwich Bummer. That's been a looooong runner. Is it at least going to be wrapping up, or is it just kinda....ending?

Ah...well...okay then! =)

Example: I have a chestplate with an armor rating of 2. My Agility is also a 2. The guy attacking me with his fists has a strength of 4. We roll: He rolls a +1 for a total of 5. I roll a +1 for a total of 3 (Agility plus the roll). He succeeds. But because I have an armor rating of 2, he actually does 0 stress to me. (it can't go to negatives)

Strands of Fate has armor as a concept. The way it works is the same as a weapon rating (not sure if Core Fate has that either). Essentially, a physical attack roll is made. Then, if the attack succeeds, weapon and armor rating are taken into account to see how many shifts of stress are inflicted.

Would armor be a good way to replicate that? I'm not very good at Fate. But "if mutagen then armor" seems like it could work? Spend a point to get some damage resistance?

@BESW I am! The character is different now, but he retained his "follows a strict code of conduct" behavior, (just no longer with written contracts with employers). And his "I'm not an assassin, if I fight you, you'll know it." ethos. I'm really excited to continue playing him, actually. =)

@Pixie Yea, I gotchya. Entertainment is entertainment, but it's great when it's socially aware and responsible entertainment! Sounds great, actually. I don't know if I'll ever actually watch it, because I so rarely watch tv, but I'm glad for it.

@BESW Well....the concept sorta ported a little bit. His first iteration was a (n obviously) sword-wielding Lawful Neutral contract killer. Because of the widely different homebrew setting, his new iteration is a gunslinging "morality is black and white" religious cult-hunter/killer. Same in spirit, but not enough to tell whether or not porting the character really "worked" per se.

Also, I sorta translated a 3.5 Spellblade into a Dresden Files (but without using the Dresden Universe?) character.

Ok. I get it. Right on.

"FiM is (sadly) unique among American female-targeted cartoons in its strong focus on female friendship rather than female competition, its ability to explore a wide range of problems and situations, and its cast full of competent, diverse women. And it does this while still embracing the fact that it is a feminine series whose primary demographic is little girls."

The two things that stick out to me from the previous discussion so kindly linked to me by @Pixie : The New Sincerity Movement. (hadn't heard of it, LOVE it. So done with detached irony. Please, let's care about something for a changed.) and...

Neat!

So, I hesitate to ask, but can someone explain to a complete neophyte why MLP is such a good show? And this isn't coming from a derogatory place, just one that is interested in hearing your opinions and thoughts. =)

Enjoy work! =)

@KRyan I was referring to the large MLP discussion, but I suppose if everyone were really excited about the new "not psionics" books by paizo I would be excited too!

@DavidReeve I just smile and enjoy the fact that they all enjoy this so much. When people are genuinely enthused about something I can't help but get a little excited as well.

Hullo all. I hope everyone is having a great day.

Booooo hisssss. (I've never played any Harvest Moon games, I just wanted to fit in with @Sandwich)

Hullo!o/

Plenty of things don't make sense, but they're Da Rulez anyway.

@Sandwich And useful!

I've often wondered how the Ghost of Charles Darwin feels about Pokemon... "that's...you're not using the term correctly!"

Yea, coma. Or, y'know, Everyone is Jesus in Purgatory.

Ash is the newest Legendary Pokemon with the power of not aging?

Heh. I didn't realize that. That's absurdly funny to me. How can a show think that that makes sense? Hah...wow.

@Aaron Yea, but a lot of cartoons do that.

@Miniman BURN! nice.

Who needs characterization?

I can understand that. A show, though, does require different things than what a game does. Plus, I mean, it was sooper legit guys when Pikachu electrocuted that rock snake cause he turned on the sprinkler system first! ...yeah...

"Dammit, I endangered the team again." "Would you do it differently if you could?" "Well...no, not really. But I still feel badly about it!"

Maybe that's the area to explore in terms of making Jessie not feel so "flat"?

@BESW What about her self or her situation makes Jessie un happy?

Thanks! Sent. I still feel as though my group struggles to "get" Fate. But there are improvements! Someone actually made a declaration the other day! Hooray!

How do I link specific parts of a chat discussion? Like, if I wanted to link my GM friend who is new to Fate to the start of this discussion with @BESW and @MarcDingena , how would I go about that?

^Now he's just showing off. =P

^That.

How exciting! I will peruse (in the traditional sense of the word) the transcripts!

I have my voucher.

I came here because @BESW promised good talk and snacks?
