[03:50] Hey there, hiya! [03:50] Heyo my zebra gay doctor friend [03:50] So, you're dead, huh? That sucks.... or are you??? [03:51] I feel sort of dead [03:51] But also lots of pain [03:51] Well this mission to see if you are or not... your thoughts on it? [03:51] >writing out a horrific near death scene [03:51] I've got some ideas for it [03:51] And multi-GM? [03:51] It will be wonderful madness [03:51] That's what I was thinking [03:52] I'd be more than willing to run part of it [03:53] Fuck, I would really need to write this shit [03:53] I'm not sure I can do that in time [03:54] Well I can start it off and give you time. I've GMed for big groups before. [03:54] I'd need to at least write a summary of what the ghost woods and the Others are [03:55] And I'd neeed a bit of the setting. But give me a, hell, give me a couple of hours and I can come up with a cray-cray ass adventure for us [03:55] I'd appreciate help since I am time and sleep starved [03:55] Basic run down: The ghost forest is the realm of the fey [03:55] The Others are the LeShay [03:56] from irish mythology [03:56] Alright, go on... [03:56] And they are just so fucked up you don't even [03:57] Laws of physics or logic do not apply [03:57] Now when you say fucked, you mean to them, yes? [03:57] Discord is a relatively sane fey in my eyes [03:57] Ah, got it [03:57] Their concepts of morality, life, death, reality even are comlpetely alien to us [03:57] they are vastly unpredictable [03:58] Go on... [03:58] The normal thing to do is simply DO NOT FUCK WITH THE FEY [03:59] Do not threaten them, do not give them presents [03:59] Keep away and pray to god they leave you alone [03:59] The realm of the fey is similarly vastly alien [03:59] So they pretty much do their own thing, and if you don't fuck with them they may not fuck with you. Or they may. Depends on what socks they're wearing [04:00] Laws of logic, geometry and time do not apply [04:00] Exactly [04:00] Now, if they DO fuck with you, then what? What do they do, how do they act? [04:00] It can be anything and depends on the Fey [04:00] The LeShay, who are pretty much the noblemen of fey, will absolutely murder your shit [04:01] If they find you uninteresting or meddling [04:01] There are many lesser and greater fey [04:01] So basically at random points see if they want to kill us [04:02] The lesser ones mostly do mischieve, mischieve including things like pulling little children into the water to watch them drown [04:02] You shouldn't encounter the LeShay [04:02] They don't care for mortals really [04:02] Got it [04:03] My plan is actually that the LeShay saved me [04:03] For three reasons [04:03] Ohhhhh okay [04:03] First, my family irl is said to be cursed/blessed by the LeShay [04:03] Second, they enjoy mortals who are artistic, witty and heroic [04:03] Third, they do what they want [04:04] They probably will want some form of payment [04:04] Still ironing out the details [04:04] Alright. So, basically for this first part, lots of fey, the LeShay will be a presence but not directly interfere... [04:04] How alive are you? Like, on a scale from chillaxing to on last breath [04:04] I'd do a scene of the "Wild Hunt" [04:05] A ghostly barrage of huntsman chasing after an ethereal game [04:05] It's the LeShay's sport so to speak [04:05] Right now? [04:05] Organs-in-hands wounded [04:05] Ouchies [04:06] So put in a thing with basically a ghostly hunt. The hunters, what kind of race? And the prey, sentient or non? [04:06] But I did think of an interesting idea why I would be alive and kicking when you arive [04:06] The Hunters are the LeShay [04:06] I should explain what they look like [04:06] Ever seen a Grey Alien? [04:06] The only image of them I have is from D&D [04:06] And yes [04:07] Imagine that, but large and muscular [04:07] http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/EPIC_Gallery/Gallery5a/44182_C5_leShay.jpg&imgrefurl=http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19780622/Confused_with_Fey?pg%3D4&h=596&w=400&sz=220&tbnid=6U4HABQKppxd2M:&tbnh=90&tbnw=60&zoom=1&usg=__WUduqJ_A_O9PN9z6dD5GNtdlr40=&docid=rGKCOJ8IKtaahM&sa=X&ei=u2XeUerYPKLC4AOCmoGgCA&ved=0CEcQ9QEwAg&dur=159 [04:07] And the D&D imagine is sort of ok [04:07] but really, the LeShay are MUCH freakier [04:07] Dead black, huge eyes, distended long body parts [04:07] Gots yea [04:08] Funny fact: [04:08] The "alien abduction syndrome", where people are abducted by grey aliens and such, actually date back to BC times [04:08] There are reports of eerily similar encounters in Ireland and England from 500BC [04:08] I see what you're getting at [04:09] Back then, they were assumed to be the fey abducting them [04:09] So yea [04:09] Before we go on, how long do you expect this to take? Just saying, because if it isn't too long I can GM it myself [04:10] My plan was the group splits up to different GMs that run different encounters [04:10] Only one finding Lucy [04:10] Ah, I see. And which one would that be? Determined at random? [04:10] I'd shamelessly say that should be my grouü [04:10] *group [04:11] I'd shamelessly agree [04:11] It would just be to get everyone involved [04:11] Make it a big community event [04:12] Oh very much yes [04:12] Damn, why didn't this happen on a weekend? [04:12] Ture... [04:12] We could shamelessly delay it a day... [04:12] Write an actually good adventure [04:13] Tomorrow can be IC town set up then [04:13] One day of preparations, Friday night super adventure? [04:13] That sounds fucking amazing [04:14] Wait... I have a baseball game to go to on Friday and I don't know when I'll be back.... FUCK [04:14] Shit [04:14] Any estimates? [04:14] And I work every week end, but I'm back around the time I was back tonight. And, I want to say... like... 10 EST [04:15] Maybe 11 [04:15] PM [04:15] fuck [04:15] Yea that's kinda late [04:16] I mean, I'll have my phone and can work from that... [04:16] We should organize the GMs and see when they have time [04:16] GMing from a phone at a baseball game? [04:16] True. When one group runs the other need not. And I've done weirder things. [04:17] So who will GM it? [04:18] As I said, I'd love multi GM [04:18] So I don't have to preclude people from playingh [04:18] Sorry, mean who ELSE will be GMing, my bad [04:19] Well, me of course, maybe Chere and maybe High TIde [04:20] Not sure [04:21] Considering we'll have a group of about 14-20, that sounds good. [04:21] Eh, chren can't GM before 8PM EST [04:21] No idea about High, he left [04:21] Because of work nor can I. But I think that if it's around this time, you me anc Chere should be able to take care of this. [04:22] Welp, fuck sleep [04:22] I'll do it [04:23] I don't work until the evening, so I'm always up around this time. [04:24] Well then, so it's official [04:24] You me and Chere, maybe High [04:24] I do have one request [04:24] Yes? [04:25] Myself and Chere, since we're DMing it OOC and heading the expedition IC, get to be in the group that finda ya [04:25] Ooh, don't you think that will be really tough on ya? [04:26] How so? [04:26] Switching between chats and such [04:26] Right now I have 6 IRC channles open, 3 Instant messaginc cliants, two screens, AND I'm watching Scrubs. [04:27] That ain't NOTHIN [04:27] Hah, ok [04:27] That's a deal I'll gladly accept [04:27] Thanks for GMing this [04:27] I LOVE GMing [04:28] Now, what's the combat/exploration/Roleplay/story ratio? [04:28] I'd say 10/30/50/10 [04:28] Or so [04:29] I am hesitant with story other than my own [04:29] Oh no, that's perfect! [04:29] You can really go all out with "mystical twilight world" on the exploration [04:30] I should read some more ye olde literature for ideas [04:30]  * Liven_Up gets an evil grin [04:31] Liking the looks of that [04:31] Also a plot twist I thought about: [04:31] Time runs 7 times faster down there, meaning Lucyne was down there for a week [04:32] Oh I love that shit! Like how when liven was KOed and had his spiritual journey it was a month in his head but only a day on the outside. [04:32] Sounds like you are just the man for this adventure [04:33] You know it [04:33] Now, one more thing... [04:34] The odds of someone from town actually dying on this journey [04:34] That would be shit [04:34] Well people are saying this is a suicide mission... [04:34] I would use an old GM trick [04:34] And I love bittersweet endings... [04:35] Tons of healing items as loot but buttfuck tough encounters [04:35] My favorite [04:35] Anyways though I would try to focus less on combat [04:35] and more on morality and wittiness to overcome the foes [04:35] Oh I agree there.  But if someone does have to die... [04:35] I volunteer [04:36] >inb4 hurr hurr GM railroading his death [04:36] You'd be GMing it, I won't GM my own character [04:37] Well then, thanks for the offer [04:37] I will let the dice decide [04:37] And your tongues [04:37] Aw fuck loot [04:38] We need to work on that too [04:38] I'm just saying, not all stories have happy endings, and sometimes to save a life you have to lose one. Besides, we're dealing with enteties beyond mortal comprehension who might just be fucking with us. But yes, loot. [04:38] Do we really need it? I'm not saying we don't, but do we? [04:38] >not enough mental pressure on lucy already [04:38] Seriously, this scene I'm writing is so intense, I don't think I want to publish it [04:39] I dunno, some loot could be appropriate [04:39] Well it should be fey related, right? [04:39] Probably [04:40] Fuck what kind of loot do fey have? [04:40] Well they don't use metal... [04:40] Generally not [04:41] Magic plants, leathers and the like? [04:41] I'm always so hesitant to do anything magic [04:41] You know Able and co will autisma ll over it [04:43] True, but magic is very much a part of this world [04:43] To deny it would be, well, wrong [04:43] I think you weren't around for the shitstorm surrounding my first adventure, were you? [04:44] Nope, why? [04:44] Ugh, it was quite the experience [04:44] >be me [04:44] >offer my time to GM [04:44] >tons of people jump in [04:44] >write rule system [04:44] >discuss monsters and locations [04:44] >go on adventure [04:45] >have fun murdering things and shooting magic missles [04:45] >shitstorm of the ages over 2 or 3 threads [04:45] "Too much magic, bad worldbuilding, go die" [04:45] Fuck em, I bet it was great [04:45] It wasn't really [04:45] But it wasn't terrible [04:46] anyhow, they wanted to throw me out [04:46] Well still, fuck them. Magic is a part of this world, and natural magic is the most fun [04:47] I'm all for it [04:49] Well today I'll look over my book of fey and really make this feel real [04:49] This will be a lot of fun [04:50] and I actually have a  day to prepare [04:50] That it will [04:50] Indeed. How about later we talk with Chere as well and hammer things out? [04:50] Definitely [04:50] He's going to bed now though [04:50] I think [04:51] Soon, and I am as well [04:51] I should too [04:52] 10 hours ago [04:52] hue [04:52] Same, same
