[19:22] *** Mode change "-m" for channel #PrivateerPress by Geist. [19:22] Geist: FREE FOR ALL [19:22] Geist: :) [19:22] mozart: w00t! [19:22] Natebot: pile on! [19:22] LordSnotrag: Ladies and gentlemen, the floor is open. [19:22] StJason: Schweet! [19:22] _Rugult_: THE ORGOTH ARE COMING RUN! [19:23] * iPhul gets his ban mozart button ready ^_^ [19:23] Mylakovich: What about Eastern Immoren!? [19:23] StJason: So, any chance of future web enhancements? [19:23] _Rugult_: lol [19:23] mozart: Hey, Natebot: Any plans on an IKRPG DM screen? [19:23] mozart: And :P Phul. :D [19:23] burrowowl: Any additional information on Gobber architecture? [19:23] Denmire: I'd love to know if the Paragon PrC is on the horizon (Caspia city book?) [19:23] _Rugult_: Cake or Pie? :) In all seriousness thanks for fielding the quesitons. [19:23] StJason: And what about an update for the default alchemy items, tindertwigs and sunrods and whatnot? [19:23] coffeeswiller: Will we see necrotech rules anytime soon? [19:24] Infested: Who from the RPG writing staff will be at Comic-Con? Will FF be available there? [19:24] PrimarchBentley: Doug: Since FF's a pretty "unique" place, will it be primarily FF, or will we get a bit of a closer look into Ord? [19:24] Doug: I'm not sure where we'll put the Paragon PrC, but I'm sure we'll find a home for it to counter the Malefactor. [19:24] Will: Where's my Armies of Immoren book? ;) [19:24] Denmire: I wonder what things were left out of the book for space reasons - that we'll see in No Quarter..? [19:24] Doug: I do know there are some other web enhancements coming down the pike, but can't speak to any specifics. [19:25] Doug: Five Fingers is definitely a unique place, but I think the book provides a good sense of Ord. [19:25] Mylakovich: I must knwo if there will be a Cult of Cyriss units for Warmachine [19:25] Doug: Particularly since the king himself spends some time in the city, and occasionally uses it as an unofficial court. [19:25] Keltheos: more gobbers! [19:25] burrowowl: Any additional information on the controversial theory that Menoth is an unusually-large Bogrin? [19:26] mozart: Dangit. Dropped my connection. Did I miss the DM screen answer? :D [19:26] Keltheos: no [19:26] * Geist would like to remind people this chatroom is ALWAYS open and you can feel free to come hang out and waste good working time with the rest of us here :) [19:26] _Rugult_: yes [19:26] LordSnotrag: Time to play "Kick the Heretic!" Starring Burrowowl! :P [19:26] Doug: Menoth does like to light things on fire, and bogrin like to light things on fire... [19:26] mozart: lol [19:26] _Rugult_: and the annoucement of the NEXT NEXT BIG THING. :) [19:26] * burrowowl knew it! [19:26] Denmire: By the way, love the new cover art (BIG improvement over the last, blue, one) [19:26] Geist: the old cover art was a place holder :) [19:26] LordSnotrag: Hmmph. Can't just kick Doug for heresy. :P [19:27] Natebot: Infested, I think we should have the book at Comicon. [19:27] Infested: Sweet. Looking forward to the possibility. [19:27] Denmire: Must find ninja shopper [19:27] Doug: Yes the cover we showed on No Quarter Magazine was a placeholder as Matt Wilson furiously finished up the cover, but it is an internal piece for one of the chapter headers. [19:27] burrowowl: I dug that No Quarter cover tons [19:27] Doug: The character shown on that piece is also one of the narrators, one of my favorites. [19:27] burrowowl: it had tons of "yarr" to it [19:28] Will: and there's no such thing as too much "yarr" [19:28] burrowowl: @will: precisely [19:28] Keltheos: yarr [19:28] Mylakovich: Rayy [19:28] Doug: Just wanted to note there wasn't a lot left out of the book for space reasons, someone asked that earlier. It was more a matter of, "If I had 15 more pages, I would write more about X..." [19:28] Natebot: Denmire - you'll see some excellent NEW material in No Quarter that matches up with the book. it will not be simply re-printing cut material but enhanced stuff [19:28] Doug: Which is always my default state. [19:29] Mylakovich: I had a question about No Quarter: You gusy still taking a single pannel Comic art? [19:29] Doug: For example, in NQ#7 we detail the Laden Galleon in greater depth than we had room to in the book. [19:29] TomxJ: you mentioned supernatural intrige, anything about the strangelight workshop? [19:29] burrowowl: huzzah for knucklebones! [19:29] * Geist seconds the comic art question [19:29] Doug: I don't know much about the comic situation. They don't let me have any say about artwork. :) [19:29] Natebot: Myla - you mean acepting submissions? sure! [19:29] Mylakovich: Ok, I'll have to fiinnish up my two [19:30] Denmire: great news - I cannot wait to get the book [19:30] Natebot: submission@privateerpress.com for photos and comics [19:30] Mylakovich: now I know what I'm doing at work tommorow [19:30] *** LordSnotrag has changed the topic on channel #PrivateerPress to You've just witnessed: Chat with Five Fingers: Port of Deceit co-authors Doug Seacat and Wolfgang Baur. Now returning to normal IRC broadcasting.. [19:31] Denmire: Thanks Doug, Nate, Geist & Co! [19:32] Mylakovich: yea, great chat [19:32] Doug: Any other questions? I know I didn't get the chance to hit every one... [19:32] Keltheos: ditto [19:32] StJason: Any wild ideas for stuff way out there in the possible future? [19:32] burrowowl: oh I gots questions [19:32] Doug: I can't answer everything, but... [19:32] Cryanger: Any chance for a Warlock PrC in the near future? [19:32] Keltheos: hotel CA, doug [19:32] burrowowl: I didn't catch the answer to "cake or pie?" [19:32] Doug: Pie [19:32] Denmire: well, which one of those high captains has the Exemplar Knight hostage? [19:32] burrowowl: hmm [19:32] Natebot: thanks everyone! I hope to do this again soon. After gencon we can talk specifics on future stuff. but for now it's hush hush. [19:32] Mylakovich: When is the info for Bemoth or Zu comming out? [19:32] Doug: Yep I can't talk about future things. [19:33] Doug: But I can talk about past things... to some degree. ;) [19:33] Mylakovich: damnations [19:33] StJason: Darn! [19:33] burrowowl: DR items for heavy-armor-users [19:33] _Rugult_: Excellent! [19:33] mozart: So no talkie about DM screen, huh? [19:33] _Rugult_: Pie... quite content now [19:33] Doug: Oh one tease I can give... [19:33] burrowowl: anything official in the pipe? [19:33] * StJason perks up [19:33] Doug: The Monsternomicon 2 is in the works now, and it will have Eastern Immoren information... [19:33] Cryanger: Just fair warning -- we're coming for your harddrive of knowledge... [19:33] Infested: Hey Doug, what was the absolute coolest thing you were happy about putting into the WG? [19:33] Denmire: ooh a DM screen would rock [19:33] _Rugult_: Doug... you are awesome. Plain and awesome. [19:33] Mylakovich: nOYce [19:33] * QuicksilverFalcon w00ts at Eastern Immoren. [19:34] Doug: Honestly, I love the Ordic stuff, which is one reason I was very happy to work on Five Fingers. [19:34] StJason: Here's a good one: How are you dealing with this heat? [19:34] StJason: :) [19:34] _Rugult_: Behmoth? (sp?) :) [19:34] Cryanger: Thanks for the great chat! See you on the forums... [19:34] Doug: One of the main cool things I was glad to get in there was the extended information about King Baird and his family, since he's one of our few IK rulers who actually has a family, and uses it for leverage. [19:34] Denmire: FF was a good choice for a first citybook [19:34] Doug: This heat is no good, particularly since I guess since it's after hours here in the office, the air conditioning seems to be shut off now... [19:35] burrowowl: Much information about the Mateu family coming to light in this book? [19:35] PrimarchBentley: I second the choice for FF for a city book [19:35] Doug: The Mateus are definitely mentioned, and even get their own little chart in the GM chapter. ;) [19:35] Mylakovich: heh [19:35] Keltheos: ok, later all. Gotta run. [19:35] phulcrum: try being in northern california [19:36] phulcrum: week straight of 104+ [19:36] Mylakovich: oh my [19:36] StJason: Then why don't you move to somewhere with a senseable clime? [19:36] StJason: :P [19:36] QuicksilverFalcon: Yeah, driving NOLA with an A/C-less car isn't too pretty either. [19:36] phulcrum: family ^_^ [19:36] TomxJ: like the UK, its erm... raining, surpriseingly [19:36] phulcrum: but i do have some plans to move to florida [19:36] burrowowl: Skorne and Nyss get factions in HORDES after years of people clamoring for more info about them. Five Fingers gets a book after 9/10ths of the forum community seem to run adventures in the area... Are you guys influenced by the fanbase much, or is this just happy coincidence [19:36] Geist: doug> yeah cant sit around in the office in the boxers i guess with shelly wandering around :P [19:36] phulcrum: not much improvement there though ^_^ [19:36] StJason: Bring them. Half of California moves up here anyway. [19:36] * Geist on the otherhand is at home. [19:37] Natebot: g'night all [19:37] Geist: night nate [19:37] Mylakovich: Nooo! [19:37] StJason: `night nate! [19:37] QuicksilverFalcon: God natt. [19:37] TomxJ: night [19:37] burrowowl: night, Nate [19:37] Denmire: I wonder what stuff will be offered "at con only" this year... [19:37] C_Heretic: Having read through the Exalted book they released on Nexus and crime, corruption and commerce... I can definitely see how FF would be a goldmine. Crime and corruption is rife with plothooks. [19:37] Doug: I think in many cases it's a "happy coincidence" although we certainly do listen to the fans, ultimately the creative direction is chosen by some very talented but very stuborn people. (Including myself...) [19:37] LordSnotrag: Yeah, move to Florida. The temp is lower but the heat index is much nastier. [19:37] burrowowl: that's probably for the best. We have poor taste at times [19:37] *** Natebot has signed off IRC (Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.73 [Firefox 1.5.0.4/2006050817]). [19:37] Doug: I remember a long time ago when the forums were not RPG driven, in the yahoo mail fan base, there was talk about a fan-based Five Fingers book, and I winced thinking, "I know that's one of the first cities we'll ever do." [19:38] phulcrum: LordSnotrag, im sleeping on your couch for a while. didnt i tell you? [19:38] LordSnotrag: I have a spare room for you. [19:38] burrowowl: that's exactly what I was thinking. Five Fingers was a big subject back then [19:38] phulcrum: and my minis? [19:38] LordSnotrag: They go in the garage. [19:38] LordSnotrag: ...sale. [19:38] TomxJ: did you take any inspiration from the steam spire modules? [19:38] phulcrum: ok, the minis can have the couch [19:38] Infested: Hey Doug, what new tidbit were you happiest about slipping into the WFTCE? [19:38] phulcrum: ill sleep in the garage [19:38] Doug: Honestly, I can say I haven't read the Steam Spire modules. [19:39] Denmire: Props to the Steam Spire, a great adventure - very memorable [19:39] LordSnotrag: Fine. You get to mow the yard. [19:39] Doug: I have generally avoided reading much fan based stuff just in case someone gets it in their mind we're reading their thought broadcasts or something... [19:39] Doug: But I do recall those modules receiving a lot of good positive attention, and it's always great to see people taking the setting to heart and coming up with great ideas. [19:39] StJason: But I know you guys do... [19:40] * StJason adjusts tinfoil hat [19:40] Denmire: Doug, the adventure's author is pretty level-headed, even downright cool. Give his work a read. [19:40] Doug: I always think of the RPG books as akin to cookbooks, where every GM out there is their own chef, and they are picking and choosing what stuff to include in their own games. We just provide the options. [19:40] * burrowowl makes a new tinfoil hat every week to keep the Privateer Press satelite beams away [19:41] Denmire: I imagine he'll be re-releasing it again after he gets the FF book. [19:41] Mylakovich: Hey, Anyone read the 'Steampunk" comic by Joe Kelly? [19:41] StJason: Funny, I use a similar metaphor. I like reading other things, then thinking "okay, what is a good idea here? What can I steal?" [19:41] Denmire: Yeah, I read it. [19:41] StJason: (Incidentally, I do the same thing with cookbooks) [19:41] Mylakovich: I want a Cole Blaquesmith model [19:41] PrimarchBentley: and as always Doug, we covet the knowledge tucked away on your harddrive... [19:41] Zirik: I've got the first book of Steampunk. [19:41] StJason: Speaking of books, what is on your nightstand right now, Doug? [19:41] Mylakovich: I'd pay for the 800 page version [19:42] Geist: doug> is there any paticular character you put yourself into? or that you put friends into? [19:42] Infested: Doug, just put a dollar value on releasing the Exemplar, and we'll see what happens. [19:42] Mylakovich: doug = Gavin Kyle [19:42] Denmire: lol seriously I'd chip in [19:42] Doug: I've been rereading the Amber series by Zelazny for about the sixth time, one of my all time favorites. I need to buy some new books, I'm currently recycling. ): [19:43] Geist: <--has never completed amber always liked it [19:43] Doug: Honestly I've always had a strong empathy for King Leto, as much as people like to get on his case in the WARMACHINE forums in particular. [19:43] Mylakovich: Nazism, etc. [19:44] Denmire: I think the High Captains have the Exemplars, the Alchemists, and all the others locked away somewhere - they're bad like that. [19:44] Doug: I've always found writing the stories from the POV of King Leto to be very effortless, both the Pieces on the Map story from a few years ago and the more recent Bond of Brothers. [19:44] burrowowl: Well, if Leto didn't make such collosal mistakes we wouldn't give him such as hard time [19:44] Doug: He really hasn't, he's in a tough spot. :) [19:44] burrowowl: Excuses [19:44] burrowowl: ^_^ [19:44] _Rugult_: comparitevly to his Brother he's doing horrible [19:44] Mylakovich: I wonder how much direction in the storyline and setting you get and how much you can make up [19:44] C_Heretic: I see Leto as someone who hasn't tossed aside his conscience in order to rule, and suffers greatly for it. It's a little tragic, and makes him more interesting than Vinter's ruthlesness... at least to me. [19:44] Doug: People are always talking about Vinter, but Vinter didn't have any wars except the Scharde Invasions during his term. [19:45] Infested: Seriously. Letting all those sorcerers run around? No good can come of that! [19:45] burrowowl: The more I read about Leto, the more I agree with Magnus's piece in Primal [19:45] StJason: And he had to clamp down while in peacetime. [19:45] Doug: That was a very fun piece to write, even as I completely disagree with him. [19:45] Denmire: One little indiscretion while in office, and he has a special prosecutor chasing after him. Poor Leto! [19:46] StJason: Any more short fiction going to find its way online or in NQ? [19:46] Mylakovich: Sepaking of the Lions Coup, is it true there will be stats for Vinter, Leto etc. in NQ7? [19:46] _Rugult_: Didn't Vinter convince Baird to help him fend off the Schrade ships? [19:46] Denmire: Gods I hope not [19:46] C_Heretic: Also, if Vinter did return to power with the Skorne conquering Cygnar, what then? The Morrowan church didn't like him, the Skorne are godless, it's not like the people will just roll over. [19:46] Doug: I'm not going to spill the beans too much more on NQ#7, but it's a very fun historical scenario. [19:46] burrowowl: I'm just hoping nobody decides to make the big war crush Ord. The Baird is just too cool to let his country get squished [19:46] Mylakovich: well ok [19:46] Denmire: When's #7 out? [19:46] Doug: But... if you like those models, you should get them. :) [19:47] Mylakovich: Definetly [19:47] Doug: It's out I think by either the end of the month, or start of next month. [19:47] Mylakovich: If there are no stats I'll just have to do it myself... [19:47] Doug: I don't know the exact day, but it's generally right around the 1st of the month. [19:47] StJason: I like the historical stuff. Even though the timeline is advancing, I don't feel the need to be right at the moment things are happening. [19:47] burrowowl: Doug: when you play WARMACHINE, do you play as Cygnar? If so, do you field bodgers? [19:47] _Rugult_: I full intend to get Vinter at the least... We're doing Legion of Lost Souls right now in fact! [19:47] C_Heretic: Vinter as a Hordes solo? Yikes. [19:47] Denmire: works for me [19:47] Doug: I play both a Rhulic force and a Cygnaran force. [19:47] burrowowl: Which warcaster do you find Reinholdt works best with? [19:47] StJason: Creepy. I play Doug's factions. [19:47] Mylakovich: I bet you can't tell us about all the cool Rhul stuff coming oput next year huh? [19:48] Doug: I like him with both Darius and Gorten. [19:48] Doug: I honestly haven't gotten to play as much as I'd like, although we're trying to correct that with a few little employee tournaments periodically. [19:48] burrowowl: I find that Gorten adds a lot of survivability to the little fella. Do you just tuck him behind Darius's big old base? [19:49] Doug: We had a big theater of war the weekend before last which was a blast. [19:49] Doug: I was 0 and 3, but honestly I felt I played very well, each game was very close, and I could have won 2 of them if I'd not run out of time. (Blasted clock!) [19:49] Doug: I played Darius and an almost all-jack army, was very fun. And quite strong. [19:49] Mylakovich: Hey doug, What's the largest Point Value that WM has been playtested at? [19:50] PrimarchBentley: Out of curiousity, did inspirations for Nemo come from anyone in real life? I swear I can't help but think 'Tesla'... [19:50] Shavnir: I played gorten once or twice <_< >_> [19:50] TomxJ: do you run or play in an Iron kingdoms game? [19:50] Doug: I'm not sure, Mylakovich, I know they've run some big games. [19:50] * Geist has played a 1500pt game it gets crazy [19:50] Mylakovich: I'd like to see 4000+ points [19:50] Geist: LOl [19:50] Geist: dude [19:50] Geist: now thatz nutz [19:50] Zirik: We had 2000 points down here once. It was nuts. [19:50] Geist: run one and write a battle report :P [19:51] Mylakovich: it would take a week [19:51] Doug: I've run a couple of short IK games, but haven't had time recently for much. Although a few of the coworkers have talked me into running a Five Fingers game. [19:51] Zirik: It took all day. [19:51] C_Heretic: I'd run out of energy in a game that long. After a few rounds I'd stop caring anymore and fall apart [19:51] Doug: I'm going to be GMing a Five Fingers game shortly, soon as they figure out their characters. Can't wait. I love urban campaigns, and I think F.F. honestly should offer a fantastic place for campaigns. [19:51] burrowowl: If you were to play in an extended IK game, what would you be most immediately-inclined to play [19:52] * Geist still want to play a gunsword weilding rogue, a blazen over the top gunmage, AND an ironhead [19:52] Geist: damn i love power suits [19:52] Doug: I was in an RPOL game maybe a year ago which unfortunately didn't get very far, but I was really looking forward to it. I was a gobber rogue/adventuring scholar, and I was getting into the character. [19:52] Mylakovich: I loved Liber Mechanika btw [19:52] Denmire: Have a good Independence Day everyone! [19:52] Doug: The best part about him was he was just an information machine, I was just going to cheat and provide bits of random setting information in character all the time. [19:53] * QuicksilverFalcon would like to see 4-player FFA 4000+. [19:53] QuicksilverFalcon: When I have a week or two free. [19:53] Mylakovich: heh OOC info [19:53] PrimarchBentley: Knowledge (exposition) [19:53] Mylakovich: well, who best, ya know. [19:53] StJason: How do you contradict that? "You coulden't know that" "I wrote the darn game!" [19:53] Doug: hehe. I wasn't going to metagame too much, just more providing random anecdotes all the time and historical factoids. [19:54] Mylakovich: Any chance of PP staff running an IK game at gencon? [19:54] TomxJ: well a man in your postition could just make it up an the fly and publish it later :p [19:54] Rugult: anyways I'm off to work all. Tomorrow I record the first IKRPG "Radio Free Llael" Podcast. Wish me luck :) [19:54] Mylakovich: url? [19:54] WAmozart: Bye Rugult. [19:54] Doug: Just for the record, I DO have a lot of pre-war Llael information, I'm hoping I can talk Nathan into stop oppressing me and letting me do something with it sometime. Lobby with him when you go to GenCon... [19:54] C_Heretic: I heard that you might be attending a convention in Toronto, is that true? [19:55] WAmozart: Drat. Foiled again [19:55] Doug: I'm fairly sure that Nathan is running some stuff at GenCon. [19:55] Doug: I'll be there also... [19:55] Doug: But I'm not sure if I'll have a chance to run a game. Nate was sounding me out about it. [19:55] Mylakovich: noyce, i might have to eavesdrop [19:55] * Rugult is away [19:55] PrimarchBentley: ... If you think it might do good, I just may hafta do that Doug. o.o Our group's been dying to get our hands on pre-war Llael... [19:55] LordSnotrag: boo! [19:55] WAmozart: lol [19:55] Doug: Poor Riversmet... [19:55] Geist: dammit ok i need to get to pax this year [19:56] Geist: but i have a feeling ill be sent away to meritt or somewhere on work [19:56] * Geist will just need to go down to PP HQ some day in person [19:56] WAmozart: Don't suppose you could run an impromptu RPG session eh, Doug? :) [19:56] Geist: :P [19:56] WAmozart: At GenCOn of course. [19:56] LordSnotrag: Oh wow. mozart has the full whammy now! [19:56] WAmozart: I kill you [19:56] Doug: It's possible, but honestly I'm not sure how well I'd do at a fast format. I'm much more of a "long campaign" type of GM. [19:56] * LordSnotrag just noticed he Op'ed himself earlier. [19:57] LordSnotrag: Go fer it! [19:57] Doug: I do a lot better with characters that have some time to grow and breathe. [19:57] WAmozart: Understandable. I just need some IKRPGing. Couldn't get into any of the sessions. :( [19:57] Doug: Nate is really good at doing these games though, if you get a chance to participate, you should really do so. I think there are a couple other volunteers that are equally talented. [19:57] TomxJ: well I have an opening in derby uk :p [19:57] Mylakovich: where do I sign up ;) [19:58] TomxJ: dear morrow its four in the morning... [19:58] Mylakovich: lol UK [19:58] Doug: I know nothing about how they work... Might be they are already reserved for all I know. [19:58] burrowowl: What are the odds that we're ever going to get a non-Monsternomicon IKRPG book that doesn't feature a busty wench on the cover? [19:58] Mylakovich: Probably [19:58] Doug: The funny thing is the Five Fingers one is actually very in character. [19:58] Mylakovich: It's the RPG industry standad [19:59] WAmozart: woot! Revenge is mine, LSR! [19:59] WAmozart: :D [19:59] Zirik: Blah. [19:59] *** Zirik has left #PrivateerPress. [19:59] PrimarchBentley: btw Doug, a friend of mine asks "Does 'lobby' mean 'bring a baseball bat and a getaway car'?" :D [19:59] LordSnotrag: Damn. I need to set my auto-relog here. [19:59] QuicksilverFalcon: wtf is wrong with busty wenches? [19:59] Doug: I think you'd do better with beer. [19:59] Zirik: There we go. [19:59] PrimarchBentley: duly noted [20:00] Doug: Matt likes to paint attractive women, and I can't blame him. But I think we also provide a lot of interesting female characters with dynamic personalities and who occupy significant roles in the setting. [20:00] C_Heretic: Something that I greatly approve of, especially with the warcasters. They're not bimbos that fight :) [20:00] Mylakovich: One thing I like about the IK setting is how unlike the World of Warcraft it is. [20:01] StJason: I like IK because it is unlike most everything. [20:01] TomxJ: My IK house rule: There are no ugly women in the IK, just varying degrees of hawtness (unless an old witch of a northern climb [20:01] Mylakovich: Good rule [20:01] burrowowl: He does know that female plate armor shouldn't be shaped like that, right? [20:01] Zirik: IK is probably my favourite setting ever. [20:01] PrimarchBentley: My group's been spoiled by IK. It's hard to go back to settings where magic items are common, resurrection happens all the darned time, etc... [20:01] Mylakovich: I gotta agree [20:02] Mylakovich: the only d20 game I'll think about playing [20:02] C_Heretic: Even then, Zevanna Agha may have been stunning when younger ;) [20:02] StJason: It is steam-y, but not steampunk. It is fantasy, but not high fantasy. It could spin easily as a horror, a war-based, magic, tech, anything. [20:02] Doug: So, just for my own curiosity... [20:02] WAmozart: Alright, boyos. Off to bed. It's 11:00 here in the Bluegrass State, and I'm sleepy. [20:02] TomxJ: night [20:02] Mylakovich: seeya [20:02] burrowowl: g'night wamozart [20:02] WAmozart: Oh wait. Doug question. [20:02] Zirik: I'm playing in a non-IK steampunk game. The setting and system is a homebrew designed by a couple of friends. My characters have slowly been tweaking the setting through their actions to be more IKish. :P [20:02] Mylakovich: Yea, same here coincedentaly [20:03] * WAmozart waits for Doug's curiousity. [20:03] Mylakovich: creepy [20:03] Doug: How interested are you guys in the historical material, such as ancient history. Do fiction pieces set in the far past have any appeal or do you prefer things in the present? [20:03] WAmozart: Yes! [20:03] QuicksilverFalcon: I'd like ancient. [20:03] WAmozart: :D [20:03] Mylakovich: I think everyone would like that [20:03] Zirik: I'd like to hear more about the old days. [20:04] StJason: Gotta agree with a hearty "Ar!" [20:04] Mylakovich: Orgoth Occupation? Or even earlier? [20:04] burrowowl: Totally [20:04] QuicksilverFalcon: I'm really not too much for recent *cough* pre-war *cough*, but stuff from 200 back would be awesome. [20:04] WAmozart: I am a incere scholar of an imaginary world. So historical data is well recieved on my end. [20:04] burrowowl: print up an IK history book and watch me buy it [20:04] Doug: Ok I have a couple things lying around, if I can talk them into doing something with them. Maybe at the least I can get one of these up on Buccaneer Bass or the like... It's a bit of a fringe topic, so... [20:04] WAmozart: *sincere [20:04] PrimarchBentley: We love history in our group. While an evolving timeline is fine, sometimes it feels that the timeline is driven more by WM, rather than a natural progression of events... [20:04] Geist: Doug> I like the history stuff its really quite interesting :) [20:04] burrowowl: Stories about the Ascendents and Scions would be particularly welcome [20:04] Zirik: "Back in my day, son, we didn't have these newfangled warjacks. We went to war with two rocks and a stick, and we had to share the stick!" [20:04] TomxJ: I think the IK has a distint lack of ancient mythology and would love the chance to add that sort of creepy spin in my games [20:04] burrowowl: like the Healer's Gambit [20:04] StJason: We would never turn them away at Handcannon either! [20:05] Doug: Ah cool. I do have another one like Healer's Gambit, but much longer, on Asc. Markus. Wasn't sure if anyone was into that kind of thing. [20:05] burrowowl: Especially Drayce and Bolis [20:05] Geist: Doug> dude you guys need more web freebies anyways youve been skimping the last years :P ever since the last prc :P [20:05] Mylakovich: I do think that the ancient lines could be expanded upon, complete with IK style. [20:05] PrimarchBentley: History gives us folks who don't necessarily play in the 'present' more to work with. [20:05] WAmozart: Yes. Healer's Gambit really allowed the Morrowan Priest in our party connect with their history. It really gave the character quite a bit of depth. [20:05] Mylakovich: It aint all warjacks ya know [20:05] Doug: You'll see Bolis gets a lot of text in Five Fingers. He's one it'd be fun to write a story about, maybe I can do so as a companion to Five Fingers if I ever get a few free hours. :) [20:06] C_Heretic: If those pieces help me understand the current state of the IK, I'm all for them. There's a few gaps in my knowledge, though I kind've like the fact that there isn't ancient this and ancient that in every corner of the game's setting. The old 'ancient evil' or 'ancient artifact of an ancient god in ancient ruins' bit can get old quick. [20:06] * Geist wants dougs job [20:06] * PrimarchBentley wants Doug's harddrive... O:) [20:06] WAmozart: OK, Now I'm going to bed. [20:06] Doug: Stories are generally done on my free time, not work time. Unless it's something for the magazine that they've requested. ;) [20:06] WAmozart: And this is for LSR: Forumla One Racing. :) [20:07] WAmozart: er Formula One :) [20:07] Doug: Yeah I'm going to have to leave here in a few mins. Any other questions before I go? [20:07] WAmozart: Night. [20:07] PrimarchBentley: So you'll plop down at the keys when the 'muse nudges,' eh? I hafta say, that explains a lot of your work... [20:07] TomxJ: What I would like to see would be the same story from diffrent perpectives [20:07] C_Heretic: Only that I'll try to see if I can get a game in against you if we bump into each other at a local con :) [20:08] burrowowl: Be sure to jam some Ascendent and Scion stories in the magic book if you get a chance [20:08] Mylakovich: Well, I'll be at Gencon to pitch my Swamp Kraken adn IKwiki hombrew stuff, maybe youlll take a looksee? [20:08] PrimarchBentley: (and mebbe more info ot Ascendants and Scions who didn't make it into the IKCG... ;) ) [20:08] Doug: I'd like to, I have a great story related to the Gift lying around, problem is it's detailed from a POV no one alive would know. [20:08] TomxJ: thats even better, layer on the mystery [20:09] TomxJ: ... and add infernals [20:09] QuicksilverFalcon: Okay, scratch previous statements; I'm in for HDD swiping. [20:09] burrowowl: well like to or not, you have now been instructed to by your loyal readership :) [20:09] PrimarchBentley: No other questions from me. Thanks for hanging around Doug, the 'after' informal stuff can be meatier than the formal parts [20:10] Mylakovich: Yea thanks Doug, you really made it a night to remember... [20:10] Doug: Sure thing. Hopefully I haven't said anything that will get me fired... [20:10] TomxJ: yup cheers, Doug, was worth waiting up for [20:10] * LordSnotrag burns the logs just in case... [20:10] Doug: Night folks. :) [20:10] QuicksilverFalcon: Yeah, thanks again for the chat. [20:10] Zirik: Goodnight. [20:10] Geist: night doug [20:10] PrimarchBentley: 'Nite [20:10] C_Heretic: G'night! [20:10] TomxJ: night [20:10] Geist: thanks again [20:10] LordSnotrag: Night Doug. :) [20:10] *** Doug has signed off IRC (Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.74 [Firefox 1.0.7/20050915]).
