do you fucking dice for the digits?

Is it like, ok, to generate the hours, roll 1d3 and add that to 2 PM. To generate minutes simply use 1d4 for the 10s digit and a seperate d10 for the units...

I like to pretend that the start time has more than a casual relationship with the time people will actually arrive. That's not entirely fair since everyone has been getting better lately, but I still think "3:42" when we know the tolerance is +40 min / -20 minutes is amusing.

I didn't realize my formula was that obvious.

I may be returning from a trip that Saturday- more info as it develops.

That won't stop me from gaming, but depending on the plane trip, it might delay my entrance.

I would offer to play the wizard but that would surely kill him and us.

Too bad about the latter, but what's wrong with the former?

Yes, have some.

I have a good ladder if you need to borrow one.

One step at a time, please.

Ignoring the puns...

I now have a breathalyzer. It's not a cheap one either. The cheap ones apparently require long calibrations and aren't very accurate. I don't think any of you have left incapacitated, but I do believe some of you would have blown a .05, which is where things get nasty for you. I'd much rather have drunk make-out session on my couch at 3am than hear how you lost your license.

Of coure, I'd rather have a drunk make-out session on my couch at 3am than just about anything, so maybe that wasn't a good example.

Soooooo....why do you now own a breathalyzer?

I know I've never left even tipsy. I usually stop imbibing hours before leaving your house. I probably still stink like booze, but my head is clear.

Because I bought one.

You should watch a mythbusters where they test being tired versus being tipsy. I am not suggesting you were tipsy nor suggesting that what I found interesting about this test was what they were testing.

The interesting part is they had the girl who recently had a kid and the guy who looks like he had some drinks frequently. They got them both to... .05 or .06 or something. They did the alcohol based on weight and verified with a breathalyzer. Then they did the first driving test.

The girl was awful. She was visibly tipsy and couldn't control the car worth a damn. The guy was fine. Same blood alcohol, and he did not appear at all intoxicated and he drove nearly perfectly.

My point is that I don't think you were feeling anything. The "feel" can be adjusted based on how much you drink. The blood alcohol level, however, is an absolute based on weight and alcohol. I don't think you'll get pulled over for swerving. But if you go through a roadside or get pulled for speeding, it could be bad. I just want to make sure you're all legal.

So humor me.

Or at least play with it like a toy to see who wins.

I will humor you, and leave it at that.

With that sort of toy, I'll always win.

You blow, gurl!

I have one of the cheap ones, but keep forgetting to bring it.

Bravo!


Also, could we push this to like 4:30 or something? I have a shot at getting there by 3:42, but it's no sure thing.

No problem. I'll be arriving in Denver at 9pm the night before and will likely have more work to do. I'm fine with pushing it back.

Since Zemmy has had an extra two hours of time each day this week to prepare, we should be good to go for 12/11.

Zem's house at 3:36pm...

Excellent use of Zem's being in a different time zone. He has no excuse to slack.

As The Dude says...."I'll be there, man".

I've got about an hour of gaming ready to go.

If I just add an extra digit to a few numbers on the enemies' character sheets, that should be suffiicent.

This would be much more fun if it weren't just the three of us checking in regularly...

You probably mean to the "XP" column and the "platinum held" column. Excellent.

No, not at all. I mean, imagine how awesome you will sound when you went up against a fighter with a 220 STR and 2,170 hit points!

You cannot win, Darth. If you strike us down, we will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!

So, is there any way we can start to figure out a good time to game in January? I realize there will be a little Cooley here soon, but there has to be sometime we can all come together next month, right?

January 15?

January 22?

January 29?

First, Happy Holiday's guys.

No signs of baby yet, but we are really close.

I have to work on the 15th, so how about the 22nd?

I'll have to confirm for sure after Babe gets here, but that should be a good day.

The 22nd might work.

So does anyone else find it ironic that Mark hates winter, and that he is in a 100 year blizzard on the east coast. But if he would have stayed home, he might not have needed a jacket yesterday?

Karma?

The 22nd works great for me. I would love to be able to game this month.

Yes Jon I think hilarious.
