You've been going to the gym so much lately that you can hardly call yourself a nerd anymore.

True. I'm not even that pasty anymore. Maybe I'm just a geek now. Although look at Carrot Top - doesn't get any geekier than him, and he's huge.

Wait...forget I lumped myself into a group with Carrot Top.

Oh, absolutely NOT!

So are we gaming this Saturday or what? I need a little "sextumble" time!

I certainly hope so!

I have to work this Saturday, so I can't make it until about 6:00 or so. But I am definitely up for it. I'll make sure the night is free and post back.

Not to be rude, but I suggest we start around 4 without him. Hopefully we can be settled in and actually making a little headway before he gets there, but not so much he'll miss much. Especially since he's moved from my "Super Hero List" to my "Above Average Hero List" for not checking in for a month.

I am a little nervous about playing a tank role, but will give it the 'ol college try...

You'll be fine.

Get me another level and we'll have emergency evac as well.

Temporary Emergency Release Vein! Alenka thinks everyone will sport one in the future.

I was trying to figure out what spells would be useful. Having a -4 to my caster level obviously hurts, but having a +8 or so to my modifier is pretty good. So a Charm Person, for example, is much stronger than Magic Missile (well, that's always true, but moreso in this case).

One spell I found is Benevolent Transposition. Based on the name, you know it cannot apply to anyone who isn't willing. But I can take 2 people and swap their positions. I can be one of them or not. The range is 110 feet at first level, which isn't awful. So let's say one of you wants to get on a roof. I fly up to the roof, and cast the spell. I go back down to where you were standing and you appear on the roof. Or let's say you've just had the crap beaten out of you by a giant. I'll be back on the lines by the priest and cast the spell. You move instantly to be by the priest, and I end up next to a giant who hopefully cannot see invisible critters. On the other end of that, I can move right next to the giant, cast the spell, and bring you next to him. Then you get a full attack.

For that matter, if player A is hurt and adjacent to the giant, and player B is fine and away, I can swap those two and not be involved myself.

I think it'll be fun. And we just need to be 5th level before I can get it.

Note: Do not expect emergency evac against foes who can see invisibly. I don't risk my life for mortals.

Well that just sounds like a peachy spell. It could be made even more fun with AoE spells centered on the soon-to-get-a-full-attack guy, like Fire Shield or something.

Well... my other spell will be Charm Person... I don't exactly get a lot of them.

Call it 4:15. I think that is everyone!

Okay. I'm in after work. Just don't kill me until I get there.

Don't worry, everyone doesn't die until about 7-8, depending on how far you get.

Good to know.

Alright, let's go ahead and prove by a thorough process that we can't game until 2012.

August 20th
August 27th
September 3rd
September 4th (the following day is labor day)
September 10th

I am good for the August dates. Both work for me.

Does that mean you are unable to game in the first few weeks of September?

That means I would rather not wait another month.

Me neither, but when PAR comes in and says he can't do August 20th and Cooley says he can't do the 27th... well, I think you see where this is going.

No, I can do the 27th, but I have to work so I'll be late.

I'll see if the 13th might work...

I'm out for the 20th. Any of those other dates are good for me.

I'm good for the 13th if everyone else is. I have to watch Livi till around 1:00 then I'm free.

This would be way better for me than the 27th...

Okay, we can do the 27th, but I don't think I could go as long as we did last time. What if we did a short day on the 27th and then gamed again on the 3rd or 4th?

I just have to make sure we are closed on the 5th and then I am all in.

It's cute that you think we went long last time.

I swear there was a post from Yeti in here that messed with things. It appears to be gone now.

I would think that a short day would be just fine, unless some of you guys are expending some kind of marriage-currency whenever you game at all.

August 13th- Possible? need confirm from Yeti, Zem, PAR, Sweetcheeks. No one has vetoed it yet though.
August 27th - Almost cleared for a short day- still need sweetcheeks to hop in.
September 3rd- No one has said anything being opposed to this day.
September 4th (the following day is labor day)- I am likely busy this day, but could probably swing it. For now assume it is poor.
September 10th- No one has said anything about this yet.


So, right now, the most likely scenario looks like:

We do a short day on the 27th, and then a full session on the 3rd.

But we are missing a lot of inputs for this!

By short I mean midnight by the way.

I would personally love to start around 10:00 am and go to 10:00 pm. But some of you vampires canLt seem to get out of bed until noon.

Ok, I am out for the 13th (don't recall if that was on the list originally). I can do the 27th. I am out for the begining of Sept.
