See this is where I get fucked over by a typo - it's pronounced like Luke

This epic quest of finding out how my name is pronounced will be over soon! (since this message I've massacred 5 keyboards as a sacrifice to the keyboard gods)

There's also a dice roller there - I'm sure I showed Jenn - remember:




Also, quick lesson in BBCode for Brant, the asterisks need to be in square brackets for the list, i.e.:


<----##Comments##---->
As per NPCs I tend to have four categories of NPCs:

• Antagonists - General mooks, I don't give them names or stats beyond basic combat stuff. They're there to die or harass and nothing else.
• Boss - I tend to stat these out, and generally have a number of "quirks" on top of a basic model. These quirks can be anything from looks, personality or even the way it attacks.
• NPC - These are not important at all, they'll hint at certain thing or effectively act as tellers for bits and bobs. They have no overly important bits of information, bar the one thing to progress the plot.
• DPC (Directed PC) - A rarer breed of NPC these are fully stat'd out, can be a recurring theme, and most importantly if a new player comes along you could hand them this sheet and they would be able to play as that character. They may or may not contain elements that advance the plot.

There is also the one that every GM should know to avoid the ever dreaded:
Avatar/Incarnation/___ of God - This is the GM clearly wanting to fuck about by making a character that effectively is their character. They can never loose, they will be better than anyone else etc. etc. -if you see this, avoid it like the plague. Worst case scenario I know of, when I was younger co-GMing in D&D, the other GM had a gnome rogue that was about 10 levels above the PCs and did nothing else but steal from the PCs.

Gotcha


I am aware but it is easier for me, when copying the outline over to the forums, to just leave them without the square brackets. As much as I want to spend 10 minutes bringing the outline over, it just doesn't seem like an economical use of time when the indenting takes care of itself without the brackets.

Fair do's.

By the way - @ Ogre, should you read this

I wanted to credit you in some way because we talked about your bridge system. Is there a link to some resource that I can provide in the show notes?

Just finished the new episode

Nice job all

Good topics great conversation you tended to control the chaos well

As for the debate between Story and Mechanic based games for me the middle ground is where the fun is: Systems like FATE/FUDGE that have a solid rules framework but still have flexible elements that give the players controls.

keep up the great work

Sorry it took so long for me to listen to the ep.

That shout out? To Jason? *THIS GUY* Woo thanks!
Make more sense now?


Also, Jenn couldn't remember who linked to the chat room on Facebook. *Also THIS GUY* She said I'm nice.


This is Felicia Day. Way hot.

I've noticed people popping in and out of the chatroom - and will notice I'm practically always there - patience people. Just got to wait for that wonderful chance encounter - fun times.

Also, yes, Felicia Day is hot.

Oh, another indirect mention of me... The "I'd Hit That" Thread? Started by *This Guy*!

Man I rule....

2nd that.
