Session Start: Mon Jan 05 16:40:31 2004
Session Ident: #TGM
[16:40] *** Now talking in #TGM
[16:40] * RodneyThompson waves to Marc
[16:40] <Bynw> hiyas Marc
[16:40] * Garen wakes Marc.
[16:40] <Bynw> and rich
[16:41] <TGM_Marc> Hello.
[16:42] <TGM_Marc> This cold is killing me. Hurts to inhale through
my nose.
[16:42] <RodneyThompson> So don't inhale through your nose.
[16:42] <TGM_Marc> I'm working on it.
[16:42] <juanjose> RodneyThompson: Midnight is cool, but the CS book
falls apart
[16:43] <juanjose> Cry Havoc rocks
[16:43] <DerekNafaiJones> You could always rub on a bunch of that
vapo-grease. I bet that'd feel *real* nice.
[16:43] <TGM_Marc> I've never used it.
[16:43] * Bynw needs to get cry havoc
[16:44] *** Mat_Smith has joined #TGM
[16:44] <RodneyThompson> It's pretty solid. Best job anyone's done
on mass combat thus far.
[16:44] <TGM_Marc> Well, what the heck do you know.
[16:44] <Garen> Everything. I know everything.
[16:44] <Mat_Smith> Hey.
[16:45] <TGM_Marc> What's up, Mat?
[16:45] <TGM_Marc> AFK a min. BRB
[16:45] <Garen> Hello, Mat.
[16:45] <RichRedman> Okay, I'm back from installing ircle on Mat's
machine and getting him logged in.
[16:46] <Mat_Smith> Too much. The break wasn't as kind to my workload
as I would've liked.
[16:46] <Garen> Yeah. And Mat's here, too. ;)
[16:46] <DerekNafaiJones> Bah, you should have just loaded him up on
Mozilla. :P
[16:46] <Mat_Smith> Hey, Garen.
[16:46] <RichRedman> Woohoo! I might get what I want!
[16:46] <Garen> ?
[16:47] <RodneyThompson> which is?
[16:47] <RichRedman> Holistic Design has some covers in the Winter
'04 Games Quarterly catalogue...
[16:47] <TGM_Marc> Rich wants to decide who lives and who
dies.
[16:47] <RodneyThompson> Fitting for an evil genius.
[16:47] <RichRedman> where they use the d20 System logo and put the
word "Modern" underneath it.
[16:47] <RichRedman> Which raised the issue of why there isn
[16:47] <RichRedman> sorry
[16:47] <RichRedman> Which raised the issue of why there isn
[16:48] <RichRedman> dammit
[16:48] <RodneyThompson> haha
[16:48] <TGM_Marc> :)
[16:48] <RichRedman> why there isn't a d20 Modern logo as part of the
STL/SRD.
[16:48] <DerekNafaiJones> shave that return key down and that won't
happen ;)
[16:48] <RichRedman> HAH!
[16:48] <RodneyThompson> A good point.
[16:48] *** TGM_Stan has joined #TGM
[16:48] *** TGM_Stan sets mode: +q TGM_Stan
[16:48] <RichRedman> So now nobody can remember why there isn't one,
and we might move to having one. Which I want. And that doesn't
make me evil or a genius, BTW.
[16:48] <Garen> Hey, everyone, it's Stan!(!)
[16:49] <TGM_Stan> Hey, all!
[16:49] <RodneyThompson> d20 Modern would certainly benefit from more
products saying "d20 Modern compatible" right there on the cover.
[16:49] <Mat_Smith> Stan!(!)
[16:49] <TGM_Marc> STAN!
[16:49] <RichRedman> Oh, I already saw Stan! once today.
[16:49] <DerekNafaiJones> Greets, Stan!
[16:49] <TGM_Marc> Stan! - you missed a fun poker night.
[16:49] *** JDWiker has joined #TGM
[16:49] *** JDWiker sets mode: +q JDWiker
[16:49] <RichRedman> Don't get me wrong, Rodney: There is a way to
do that right now.
[16:49] <TGM_Marc> JD+!@#$
[16:49] <Mat_Smith> Hey, JD.
[16:49] * DerekNafaiJones waves to JD
[16:49] <Bynw> hiyas JDWiker
[16:49] <RichRedman> You just have to write "a modern d20 System
game" on the cover.
[16:49] <JDWiker> Hello, everybody! Sorry I wasn't here sooner.
[16:49] <RichRedman> 'Scuse me while I crank up the Swanky Modes.
[16:49] <RodneyThompson> Certainly, but a pretty little graphic
couldn't hirt.
[16:49] <RodneyThompson> hurt
[16:50] <RodneyThompson> Argh
[16:50] <RichRedman> I agree with Rodney (it's smart, and it's safer).
[16:50] <JDWiker> Hang on ... I'm going to log out, then back in.
[16:50] *** JDWiker has quit IRC (Quit: Disconnecting.)
[16:50] *** JDWiker has joined #TGM
[16:50] *** JDWiker sets mode: +q JDWiker
[16:50] <JDWiker> That's better.
[16:50] <RichRedman> Now if Eric and Mike log in, we'll be all set.
[16:50] <RodneyThompson> It kinda stinks that Mongoose is using the
Modern SRD but going OGL will stuff like Cybernet. It's a fantastic
setting, but believe it or not there's often confusion as to whether
or not it's a d20 Modern game.
[16:50] <JDWiker> Anybody heard from Eric at all?
[16:50] <RodneyThompson> Heck, until I bought it I didn't know.
[16:51] <RodneyThompson> Yeah, talked to Eric about 30 seconds ago.
[16:51] <TGM_Stan> Mike says he'll be here under the nickname
"Stinger"
[16:51] <RichRedman> Oooh! Me! Me! I heard from him!
[16:51] <RodneyThompson> He's on his way.
[16:51] <RichRedman> Did you want to know what he said?
[16:51] <JDWiker> Okie-doke.
[16:51] <Garen> And I saw Mike in here a couple of days ago, so he
definitely knows how to log in.
[16:52] <TGM_Marc> Gen Con... Holidays... I suppose I
should be really glad it's January. If only I hadn't picked up
this cold.
[16:52] <RodneyThompson> If we have time today, I'd love to hear you
guys' impressions of GenCon SoCal
[16:52] <Mat_Smith> I'd like to have a couple more weeks of December.
[16:52] <JDWiker> Glad you got through to Mike, Stan ... and glad to
hear you saw him here, Garen. We'd be in a fix if we had to walk
him through the process.
[16:52] <TGM_Stan> Geez, Marc ... you should know better than to pick
up such things
[16:52] <RodneyThompson> I talked to Eric about it a little when he
got back, but still
[16:52] <RichRedman> I don't know how to do impressions in IRC.
[16:53] <TGM_Marc> I saw it and thought, "FREE CANDY!"
Unfortunately, it was just this cold.
[16:53] <DerekNafaiJones> It's easy Rich:
[16:53] <Garen> "impressions"?
[16:53] *** Alex_Knight has joined #TGM
[16:53] *** Astros has joined #TGM
[16:53] <Mat_Smith> They'll get you with that, Marc.
[16:53] <DerekNafaiJones> <voice style="GenCon SoCal">I'm a
nice warm con!</voice>
[16:53] <RichRedman> Hey, if this keeps up, the guests might
outnumber the authors and staff!
[16:53] <JDWiker> Marc helped some friends move some furniture over
the weekend.
[16:53] <JDWiker> (Guess I was wrong about that Ice Age thing, too.)
[16:53] <TGM_Stan> *lol* Derek
[16:53] <RodneyThompson> ahem. everyone's a comedian.
[16:54] <Garen> I am not a comedian.
[16:54] <Garen> I'm a comic.
[16:54] <RichRedman> This is a TGM chat, Rodney. What did you expect?
[16:54] *** KingOfLaw has joined #TGM
[16:54] *** chat.psionics.net sets mode: +o KingOfLaw
[16:54] <TGM_Marc> I also had a tabletop game where a
plague-bearer may have been in the room.
[16:54] <RodneyThompson> Touche.
[16:54] *** KingOfLaw sets mode: -o KingOfLaw
[16:54] <JDWiker> Doh. Allie?
[16:54] <TGM_Marc> Hey, it's COLD in Seattle. It's not
supposed to be that cold.
[16:54] <KingOfLaw> Hey JD, Red, Stan ^_^
[16:54] <Mat_Smith> You might have been inadvertanly LARPing, Marc.
[16:54] <TGM_Stan> I'm not a comic ... but I draw one
[16:54] <TGM_Marc> Aaron's wife Kate.
[16:54] <TGM_Marc> Aaron was the plague-source.
[16:54] <RichRedman> Hello everyone. Thanks for dropping by early
to witness the chaos and attempts at humor that are the hallmark
of our chats.
[16:54] <JDWiker> My car door froze shut last night--just when I
needed to go to the grocery.
[16:55] <JDWiker> Then, when I got back and finally got the door
open--it froze OPEN.
[16:55] <RodneyThompson> Indeed. Open mike night before each chat.
[16:55] <RodneyThompson> Something of a tradition.
[16:55] <juanjose> JDWiker: you should have a bike <g>
[16:55] <Mat_Smith> Impeccable timing on the door's part.
[16:55] <JDWiker> The mechanism didn't thaw until this afternoon.
[16:55] <DerekNafaiJones> I had to sleep all night in a shopping mall
once from being iced out of my car. :(
[16:55] <RichRedman> Are you sure that was you and not Bart Simpson?
[16:55] <TGM_Stan> *heh* ... my car door freezes all the time ... a
minor design flaw, if you ask me
[16:55] <JDWiker> I had the door tied shut with a belt, to keep the
wind from blowing it open and running down my battery (from the
dome light).
[16:55] <Garen> "Before" the chat? HA!
[16:56] <KingOfLaw> Say, you guys want me to announce this chat, if
I can? :P
[16:56] <JDWiker> A shopping mall, Derek? Man, that blows.
[16:56] <Mat_Smith> Did you see any of the mall's killer robot
security guards?
[16:56] <Bynw> hey there Stan ... didnt see you sneek in
[16:56] <RichRedman> Yes, please. Thank you, KingOfLaw.
[16:56] <DerekNafaiJones> lol, no it was me. I used to manage a
Babbage's and it was a late night--got finished at midnight.
[16:56] <RichRedman> See, I can be polite.
[16:56] <TGM_Stan> Hi, Bynw ... I come and go like the wind
[16:56] <RodneyThompson> Heh, I manage an Electronics Boutique.....
Derek, my enemy, we must do battle.
[16:57] <DerekNafaiJones> oh dear
[16:57] <TGM_Marc> I figured the two were owned by the
same parent corp.
[16:57] * KingOfLaw stabs Bynw
[16:57] <RichRedman> MORTAL KOMBAT!
[16:57] <RodneyThompson> Nope, competitors.
[16:57] <JDWiker> I'll be moderating the chat tonight, by the way.
[16:57] <DerekNafaiJones> they always want to "do battle"
[16:57] <RichRedman> FINISH HIM!
[16:57] * RodneyThompson chuckles at JD. "Moderate" Right.
[16:57] <RichRedman> He meant it as a verb, not an adjective.
[16:57] * Garen chortles
[16:58] <Astros> watch out for those EB guys... they have lazer eye
sight to detect copied cd's
[16:58] * RichRedman must remember to be nice since JD has a DVD and a PC
game hostage...
[16:58] <KingOfLaw> What're you guys going to be talking
about tonight?
[16:58] *** ECagle has joined #TGM
[16:59] * RodneyThompson gasps
[16:59] <RodneyThompson> HE LIVES!
[16:59] <RichRedman> CAGLE! Get him!
[16:59] <Mat_Smith> Mr. CagleHay.
[16:59] <Garen> Cable Guy!
[16:59] <TGM_Stan> Oh, I have to leave a little early tonight ...
gonna split about 5:45 ... just so you all know
[16:59] <DerekNafaiJones> I hope they talk about chicken. Will there
be chicken?
[16:59] <TGM_Marc> All our stuff, but we're hoping for
questions about Modern Magic, King.
[16:59] <ECagle> Ayeeee
[16:59] <JDWiker> We're going to be talking about our newest product:
Modern Magic, for modern d20 System games.
[16:59] <TGM_Stan> Cagle!
[16:59] <ECagle> STAN!
[16:59] <TGM_Marc> Cagle%
[16:59] <JDWiker> Greetings, Cagle!
[16:59] <ECagle> REDMAN!
[16:59] <Mat_Smith> Like the wind, Stan!. But on a schedule.
[16:59] <RichRedman> Were there monkeys? Were they terrible space
monkeys?
[16:59] <ECagle> SPARKY!
[16:59] <Astros> Are you going to take other questions?
[16:59] <TGM_Marc> Hey, Cagle, did you get your sealed
letter today?
[16:59] <JDWiker> Astros: Certainly.
[16:59] <Astros> :)
[17:00] <TGM_Stan> We're going to take ALL questions, Astros
[17:00] <ECagle> Sealed letter?...
[17:00] <RichRedman> Oh, I don't know. You might not want to give us
any openings...
[17:00] * KingOfLaw hopes that got through
[17:00] <TGM_Stan> But the answers will be random
[17:00] *** Stinger has joined #TGM
[17:00] <JDWiker> Doh! He didn't get it!
[17:00] <TGM_Marc> Ask Wendy about it tomorrow, Cagle.
[17:00] <TGM_Stan> Mike!
[17:00] <ECagle> Good or bad?
[17:00] <TGM_Marc> It's IMPORTANT.
[17:00] <Mat_Smith> Hey, Mike.
[17:00] <TGM_Marc> VITAL!
[17:00] <TGM_Marc> (well, in a geeky sort of way)
[17:00] <Garen> A weighty matter of life and death!
[17:00] <TGM_Stan> This has to be an Ever-geek thing
[17:00] <JDWiker> Stop giving him clues, Moriarty.
[17:00] <Stinger> Hello Stan!, Mat, all
[17:01] <JDWiker> Mike!
[17:01] <TGM_Marc> Hello, Mike#
[17:01] <Garen> We're sorry, Mike, but things are all full up. I'm
going to have to ask you to leave.
[17:01] <ECagle> Oh..kudos to young master marc for watching
the beast while we were gone ;)
[17:01] <Stinger> OK ! Bye! :-P
[17:01] <JDWiker> Never mind Garen, Mike.
[17:01] <TGM_Marc> Mocha was a doll :)
[17:01] <Garen> Marc, on the other hand...
[17:01] <TGM_Stan> How're things in the Big Pachinko, Mike?
[17:02] <TGM_Marc> This is where JD tries to get things
started, I think....
[17:02] <Mat_Smith> Marc's more like one of those cymbal-clanging
monkeys.
[17:02] <JDWiker> So, now that the gang's all here, why don't we
begin?
[17:02] <RichRedman> Yes, let's.
[17:02] <ECagle> Rodney, get to work...
[17:02] <JDWiker> Welcome to the GAME MECHANICS chat # something ...
[17:02] <RodneyThompson> The what now?
[17:02] <Stinger> The usual. Had to go do the New Year's aisatsu
(greeting) thing yesterday a.m. Usually don't have to ride the
train so early. Crowded. Ugh...
[17:02] *** Geist has joined #TGM
[17:03] <JDWiker> Tonight we'll be talking with the authors of our
newest book, Modern Magic!
[17:03] <JDWiker> Guys, introduce yourselves.
[17:03] *** Rooks has joined #TGM
[17:03] <ECagle> Go Mat
[17:03] <JDWiker> That means now.
[17:03] * RichRedman nudges Eric, Mat, and Mike.
[17:03] <KingOfLaw> Who do I have to kill to get a copy of said
book? :P
[17:03] *** Kalai has joined #TGM
[17:03] <RichRedman> Guys, it doesn't matter who goes first.
[17:03] <ECagle> Hi ya'll, I'm Eric Cagle, one of the authors of
Modern Magic
[17:03] *** Duloth has joined #TGM
[17:03] <Rooks> hello
[17:03] <TGM_Stan> What kind of question is that for the "King of
LAW" to ask?
[17:04] <Duloth> Hmm...
[17:04] <ECagle> You may have seen me in such feature films as Urban
Arcana, d20 Menace Manual, and Fiend Folio
[17:04] * KingOfLaw watches as all the RoE'ers come in
[17:04] <KingOfLaw> Stan: I am lawful evil :P
[17:04] <Duloth> You'll always be King of Chaos to me.
[17:04] <JDWiker> We will be using protocol tonight, so, speakers,
when you're done speaking, type /ga (or ga on a new line).
[17:04] <JDWiker> Mat--you're up!
[17:05] <RichRedman> Mat, put Melissa down and type!
[17:05] <KingOfLaw> lol
[17:05] *** Stinger is now known as Mike_M
[17:05] <ECagle> Are you two still at the office?
[17:05] <RichRedman> Yes, Mat and I are still in South2
[17:05] <Mat_Smith> Hey there. I'm Mat (that's not a typo) Smith,
another of the authors of Modern Magic--which is the first game
product I've wormed my way into doing.
[17:05] <KingOfLaw> (You guys have an office? O_o)
[17:06] <JDWiker> King ... sssh.
[17:06] <RichRedman> Just a reminder to Mat and Eric: When you're
done, add /ga at the end of your message so Mike can know it's
his turn.
[17:06] <KingOfLaw> (Sorry..I was suffering from office envy)
[17:06] <ECagle> gotcha
[17:06] * /set: invalid parameters
[17:06] <Mat_Smith> Googling my name will turn up a swath of artciles
i write for the Wizards of the Coast website every month, and
reference to a handful of things you might have seen in Dragon
Magazine.
[17:07] <Mat_Smith> /ga
[17:07] <JDWiker> Mike?
[17:08] <ECagle> oh yeah, I've done a slew of adventures and articles
for the Wizards site and Dragon Magazine (shameless plug). ga
[17:08] <Mike_M> I'm Mike Montesa, also a contributor to MM. I've
written for WEG (with Stan!), Pyramid, GRG, and Pinnacle. /ga
[17:09] <JDWiker> So we're talking about the book these three have
written (though we'll take questions on other subjects).
[17:09] <JDWiker> To begin the discussion, Modern Magic is a book
that explores the concept of magic in d20 Modern being a bit more
like how it's perceived in real life.
[17:09] <RichRedman> Yay! JD, Stan!, Marc, and I are The Game
Mechanics, your hosts for this session. Try the veal and don't
forget to tip your waitress.
[17:09] <KingOfLaw> Subtle and unseen? :)
[17:09] <JDWiker> Or, alternately, how the high-powered magic of d20
Modern might be used in the real world.
[17:09] <JDWiker> So, if you have a question, type a ? and I'll put
you on the list.
[17:09] <TGM_Stan> If you have a question, type a "?" ... if you have
a comment, type a "!" ... JD is moderating and will call on you
in order
[17:09] <JDWiker> If you have an immediate, on-topic comment, type a !
and I'll try to call on you ASAP.
[17:10] <JDWiker> Thanks, Stan.
[17:10] *** Zouron has joined #TGM
[17:10] <JDWiker> Let the questions begin!
[17:10] <TGM_Stan> Oops ... sorry, JD
[17:10] <RodneyThompson> ?
[17:10] <JDWiker> Go, Rodney!
[17:10] *** TGM_Marc sets mode: +v ECagle
[17:10] *** TGM_Marc sets mode: +v Mat_Smith
[17:10] <RichRedman> Hey! Zouron! Welcome!
[17:10] *** TGM_Marc sets mode: +v Mike_M
[17:10] <RodneyThompson> Might as well start things off, eh? Just
curious if we'll be seeing more of the ritual magic from Urban
Arcana, Incantations, in this book?
[17:11] * Zouron waves
[17:11] <JDWiker> Sounds like a good question for you, Eric.
[17:11] <ECagle> yeah, I'll take this one
[17:11] <ECagle> Yes, we go in depth with incantations, including
creating a new "lesser" version of them that are weaker, but more
versatile
[17:12] <ECagle> Again, to duplicate the "Buffy Magic" where people
who shouldn't be able to cast spells can.
[17:12] <ECagle> ga
[17:12] <JDWiker> Next question?
[17:12] <JDWiker> The queue is currently empty.
[17:12] <Garen> ?
[17:12] <JDWiker> Go, Garen!
[17:12] <TGM_Stan> How do we have so many visitors and no questions?
[17:13] <JDWiker> (Stage fright, Stan.)
[17:13] <ECagle> should I expound?
[17:13] <RichRedman> Either they're shy, or our crazy monkey antics
frighten them.
[17:13] <JDWiker> Let's hear Garen's question.
[17:13] <Alex_Knight> ?
[17:13] <Garen> Is this book focused more on the abilities side of
things (spells, magic items) or on the character (classes and feats)?
[17:13] <JDWiker> (Or read it, rather.)
[17:13] <TGM_Stan> Remember, folks, while we're focusing on Modern
Magic, we'll take questions on any subject
[17:13] <Mike_M> Stunned by your aura Steve...
[17:13] <JDWiker> Alex, you're on the list, thanks.
[17:13] <Garen> That is to say, are we to expect more magic, or more
magical .characters.?
[17:13] <RichRedman> Not everyone's named Steve, Mike.
[17:13] <KingOfLaw> Well, I am here more to learn about Modern Magic,
since I don't have the book yet.
[17:14] <Mike_M> ;-)
[17:14] <juanjose> ?
[17:14] <RichRedman> Go authors, go! Answer Garen!
[17:14] <JDWiker> Gotcha, Juan.
[17:14] <ECagle> More magic, although there will be plenty of new
prestige classes, feats, etc
[17:14] <ECagle> and ways to make yourself "mo magickal"
[17:15] <TGM_Marc> Maybe each of you should talk a bit
about your section of the book, so people know what's coming in it.
[17:15] <ECagle> Surrrre
[17:15] <JDWiker> Good idea, Marc. Cagle, tell us what's in
your section.
[17:15] <ECagle> I covered the new magical system called "Ritual Magic"
[17:15] <ECagle> It introduces a new prestige class, called the
Ritualist, that mimics many of the magical groups out there in the
real world
[17:16] <ECagle> Wicca, paganism, and ceremonial magicians (such as
the OTO)
[17:16] <JDWiker> "OTO"?
[17:16] <ECagle> Ordo Templis Orientalis
[17:16] <ECagle> It's a real group, look it up ;)
[17:16] <TGM_Stan> Oh ... THAT "OTO"
[17:16] <ECagle> Golden Dawn type of stuff
[17:17] <TGM_Marc> ...and not "Otto" from "A Fish
Called Wanda"
[17:17] <ECagle> In essence, if you want to create a cababl of wizards
with pentagrams, incense, and magic wands, this is your section
[17:17] <JDWiker> How different is your ritual magic from the
incantations rules?
[17:17] <ECagle> good question, Mr. Wiker
[17:17] <ECagle> In short, it breaks down the "doing" of ritual magic
into its parts
[17:18] <ECagle> for example, I go indepth about material components,
and the symbolism required to make incantations go off
[17:18] <ECagle> For those of you with an actual magical bent, you'll
see many of the "laws of magic" being used. /ga
[17:18] <JDWiker> Can you give us an example of symbolism, Eric?
[17:18] <ECagle> Sure.
[17:18] <JDWiker> (Don't worry, gang: I've still got you in queue.)
[17:19] <ECagle> Magic is broken down into the five classical
elements: air, earth, water, fire, and spirit
[17:19] <ECagle> By learning about Air, for example, you can cast
spells that directly affect the wind
[17:19] * RichRedman will be back in a few minutes.
[17:19] *** RichRedman has quit IRC
[17:19] * KingOfLaw wants this book NOW -.-
[17:19] <TGM_Marc> That's it: Redman is fired.
[17:19] <TGM_Marc> :)
[17:19] <ECagle> OR you can mimic an "abstract" effect....in wicca,
air corresponds to intellect, so you could use it to increase your
Intelligence stat
[17:19] <Garen> Ooh!
[17:19] * Garen was next on the hiring list. Really he was.
[17:20] <ECagle> Keep going?
[17:20] <JDWiker> No, I think that covers it for now. We'll see if
we get questions on it later.
[17:20] <TGM_Marc> (You'll be working for pine needles,
Garen. I hope that works for you.)
[17:20] <JDWiker> Mike, tell us about your part of the book.
[17:21] <Duloth> Sounds like wheel of time.
[17:21] *** ascendance has joined #TGM
[17:21] * RodneyThompson echoes Duloth's sentiments.
[17:21] <ECagle> Ahhh but where do you think Robert Jordan got it
from? ;)
[17:21] <Mike_M> I did the section military magic; how would the
military adapt and use magic if it existed
[17:22] <Mike_M> Scary idea, no?
[17:22] <RodneyThompson> !
[17:22] <JDWiker> Go ahead, Rodney.
[17:22] <RodneyThompson> Funny, I've been playing Rainbow Six 3 all
week and I kept wondering how nice it would be to walk through walls
as a countererrorist. That kind of thing?
[17:23] <JDWiker> Keep going, Mike.
[17:23] <Mike_M> Well, I've got a Magic Spec Ops prestige class, so
your Delta operator can sling spells now...
[17:23] *** RichRedman has joined #TGM
[17:23] *** RichRedman sets mode: +q RichRedman
[17:23] <TGM_Marc> OK, Rich is hired again.
[17:23] <Garen> Nooo!
[17:24] <JDWiker> Hush! Do I need to separate you two?
[17:24] <RichRedman> Which explains to everyone who was here early why
Marc is the one who usually gets choked.
[17:24] <ECagle> The concept pic for the Magic Spec Op is sweet
[17:24] <JDWiker> Anything else you can tell about your section, Mike?
[17:24] *** ECagle has quit IRC (User has been mind-ripped.)
[17:24] <Mike_M> But there's also the "Magic Grunt", your basic 11
Bravo type, only w/spells, and a more dedicated military spell
caster.
[17:25] *** ECagle has joined #TGM
[17:25] <ECagle> ugh, sorry...trial version of Ircle :(
[17:25] <JDWiker> No worries, Cagle.
[17:26] <DerekNafaiJones> !
[17:26] <Mat_Smith> I suppose I have the more generic third of the
bookMy chunk of the book is focused on new arcane & divine spells
(0-5th-level) and a small truckload of new magic items. I tried to
concoct material that felt as if it were actually created/crafted
by adventurous spellcasters in the modern world (as opposed to just
adapting existing spells/items to the d20 Modern setting).
[17:26] *** TGM_Marc sets mode: +v ECagle
[17:26] <JDWiker> Derek, you had a comment?
[17:26] <Mat_Smith> ((sorry--I hit "return" too early. Yow.))
[17:26] <DerekNafaiJones> Just that that man knows his Spec Ops (to
Eric's comment) :)
[17:27] <Kalai> ?
[17:27] <JDWiker> Hey, we try to find people who know what they're
talking about, eh?
[17:27] <JDWiker> Any more info for us, Mike? What about military
magic items?
[17:27] <juanjose> ( try xchat, an open source IRC client with a MacOS
version, http://www.xchat.org/download/ )

[17:28] * KingOfLaw brutalizes peer
[17:28] <Mike_M> I don't know if some of these made the cut but I've
got the "all weather helmet cover", "rucksack of holding" things
like that.
[17:28] *** Astros has left #TGM
[17:28] <JDWiker> Gary!
[17:28] <JDWiker> You made it!
[17:28] <Gary> JD!
[17:29] <Gary> I did indeed.
[17:29] <Mike_M> Just imagine going into your local surplus store and
seeing all that stuff, but with this sort of weird glow. ;-)
[17:29] <JDWiker> Excellent ... anything else, Mike, before I move on
to Mat?
[17:29] <Mike_M> ga
[17:29] <JDWiker> Mat! Tell us about your section of the book--more
than you already have, that is. :)

[17:30] <Mat_Smith> Gee whiz, I think I already spilled the beans on
my section.
[17:30] <Duloth> How fun!
[17:30] <TGM_Marc> Yeah... Happens from time to time.
[17:30] <ECagle> you broke it, you bought it.
[17:30] <JDWiker> Man, I feel like I'm in an Aliens movie.

[17:30] <Zouron> wb lord stan! ;-)
[17:30] <Mat_Smith> (This mind-ripping sounds painful and annoying.)
[17:31] *** Alex_Knight has joined #TGM
[17:31] <TGM_Stan> ouch
[17:31] <JDWiker> Well, Alex, you're just in time to take your place
in the queue. What's your question tonight?
[17:31] <JDWiker> (Queue is empty after Alex, by the way ...)
[17:31] <Alex_Knight> What imagery is the influence behind the book?
Or was it simply, "d20 Modern needs more magic."?
[17:31] *** KingOfLaw has joined #TGM
[17:31] <TGM_Stan> I'll take that one
[17:32] <JDWiker> Go, Stan!
[17:32] <KingOfLaw> gah!..i'm hit!
[17:32] * KingOfLaw dies
[17:32] <TGM_Stan> The idea for this book started during desing of
teh Modern Player's Companion ...
[17:32] <JDWiker> "Desing" means "Design."
[17:32] <TGM_Stan> We were talking about the ways magic would be
different if spellcasters were real modern folk ...
[17:33] <KingOfLaw> You sure that wasn't a typo? ;)
[17:33] *** Geist has joined #TGM
[17:33] <TGM_Stan> and we included some of that material in the MPC.
But it just became clear that there was soooo much more to the
topic ...
[17:33] <Duloth> Does it have any/much on real-life 'magic' sources
such as Vodoun and etc.?
[17:33] <JDWiker> Eric, care to tackle Duloth's question?
[17:33] *** Mike_M has joined #TGM
[17:34] <JDWiker> (Remember to type ? if you have a question.)
[17:34] <ECagle> The ritualist section talks about "western
magic"--wicca and ceremonial magic
[17:34] <TGM_Stan> Modern Magic contains spells, classes, feats, and
other ancillary material that represents real modern take on the
uses of magic.
[17:34] <TGM_Stan> ga
[17:34] <Mike_M> Woops.
[17:34] <ECagle> It's a topic all on its own. Voudon is just too big
to have fit in this too /ga
[17:34] <Duloth> (Sorry. Wasn't informed.)
[17:34] <JDWiker> Queue is empty ... questions?
[17:34] <KingOfLaw> ?
[17:35] <ECagle> But you MAY see it in the future... /ga
[17:35] <JDWiker> King of Law, go.
[17:35] <TGM_Stan> Oooo ... Eric, you're such a tease
[17:35] <juanjose> ?
[17:35] <KingOfLaw> Does the book touch on religious magic like jewish
kabalism?
[17:35] <JDWiker> Juan, got you in queue again.
[17:35] <KingOfLaw> Kinda like catholic priests that can perform
miracles, etc.?
[17:35] <TGM_Marc> To be perfectly clear: What we're
really talking about here is Modern Magic Volume One, which is
the first of two planned volumes. The second volume contents aren't
in stone yet.
[17:36] <ECagle> But getting stonier every day :)
[17:36] <Mat_Smith> Or at least clay-ish.
[17:36] <JDWiker> ("I didn't ... exhale?")
[17:36] <RodneyThompson> So that's what the TGM office is like.
Getting stoned every day.
[17:37] <Garen> "Office." Heh..
[17:37] <ECagle> The "office" is between JD's bathroom and the linen
closet. :)
[17:37] <KingOfLaw> Bah, I bet the new D20 standards probably killed
the idea of religious magic in D20 modern.
[17:37] <TGM_Stan> So, the answer is "Not in Volume 1"
[17:37] <JDWiker> Yep. Next question, from Juan?
[17:37] <juanjose> more than a question I'd like Mike_M to describe
a couple of modern magic items :)
[17:38] <Mike_M> OK, wait one.
[17:38] <JDWiker> Let's give Mike a second, since he's connecting
from Japan ...
[17:38] <TGM_Stan> Mat could describe one, also
[17:38] <JDWiker> Good call. Mat, tell us about an item real
quick-like.
[17:39] <TGM_Marc> Heh - He might not know the final mix
of items for the first volume!
[17:39] <ECagle> Yeah, you edited out all the ones without verbs
[17:39] <Mike_M> May I?
[17:39] <JDWiker> Pretty much everything he wrote, except the CDs
(which are still in development).
[17:39] <JDWiker> Go, Mike!
[17:40] <Mat_Smith> OK. (no kidding, Marc.) just a quick one is the
Fireproof Decal when affixed to a creature or object, it provides
energy resistance 10 against fire, up to a cumulative total of 50
points of fire damamge.
[17:41] <JDWiker> What's it look like, Mat?
[17:41] <Mike_M> I'm not sure if it made the cut, but one thing I
came up with was the "half-shelter Hilton". Your typical two-man
shelter, but inside is an extra-dimensional space that is immune
to weather effects.
[17:41] <Mat_Smith> (*still* in development. Yes.)
[17:41] <JDWiker> It's in there, Mike!
[17:41] <TGM_Stan> Oh yeah, Mike ... that's still in there.
[17:42] <Mike_M> My personalfavorite was the "boonie hat of hiding".
Put it on and you get a bonus to hide checks. :-)
[17:42] <JDWiker> No questions in the queue.
[17:42] <RichRedman> I still have my boonie hat from Desert Storm.
Woohoo! A prop!
[17:42] <DerekNafaiJones> ?
[17:42] <JDWiker> Go, Derek!
[17:42] <Mat_Smith> The Fireproof Decal is a narrow, refelective,
white decal with bold red lettering that reads "NONFLAMMABLE".
Smack it on something you don't want singed, and you're set.
[17:42] * Geist is just a spectator doesnt have any questions related to
the book :(
[17:43] <DerekNafaiJones> This is an easy one...how many pages do we
have?
[17:43] <JDWiker> Marc, do you have a total count?
[17:43] <TGM_Marc> One sec.
[17:43] <TGM_Stan> Geist, you can as ANY questions ... not just ones
about this particular book
[17:43] <RichRedman> "Inflammable" means flammable? What a country!
[17:43] <TGM_Marc> I don't have layout... I have word
count. 30k.
[17:43] <DerekNafaiJones> gotcha
[17:43] <JDWiker> He said nonflammable, Redman!
[17:43] <RodneyThompson> So about the same length as other TGM
products.
[17:43] <TGM_Marc> 60 pages of Word document.
[17:44] <JDWiker> 30,000 words should equal about 38-45
pages--somewhere in there.
[17:44] <Mike_M> The Half-Shelter Hilton was inspired by a guy I knew
in the service, long ago.
[17:44] <TGM_Stan> I'm going to unscientifically estimate 36-38 pages
in final format
[17:44] * DerekNafaiJones hisses at the sound of teh word "Word" and runs in
the corner
[17:44] <RichRedman> Nobody gets me.
[17:44] <Mat_Smith> Yakov
[17:44] <JDWiker> Had his own personal hotel in his shelter, did he?
[17:44] <Geist> though slightly off topic me thinks. im wondering how
much it costs a publisher to do a good run of a book. (feel free not
to answer this one since it does edge on private information)
[17:44] <TGM_Stan> Oh, I'm gonna "get" you, Redman
[17:44] <RichRedman> Wrong, Mat.
[17:44] <TGM_Marc> I can cut and paste one magic item in,
if you want....
[17:44] <JDWiker> Stan, got any insights on Geist's question?
[17:44] <Mike_M> Almost! His nickname was "Hilton" He always had all
kinds of little creature comforts with him.
[17:45] <RichRedman> Anyone else care to guess?
[17:45] <RodneyThompson> Gallagher?
[17:45] <TGM_Stan> Ummmm ...
[17:45] <RichRedman> Nope.
[17:45] <JDWiker> Stay on target.
[17:45] <juanjose> Sean K reynolds has a good article about that at
his website
[17:45] <ECagle> Ah, Sean :)
[17:45] <ECagle> sorry...staying on target
[17:45] <Garen> Sean who? :P
[17:45] <TGM_Stan> Oh ... wait ... just as an aside, "All Things
Considered" is doing an RPG-related piece right now
[17:45] *** Duloth has quit IRC (User has been mind-ripped.)
[17:46] * Geist takes not to check that out :)
[17:46] <Gary> Oh?
[17:46] <Gary> Is it good PR or bad PR?
[17:46] <JDWiker> And that's our cue ... to go the queue.
[17:46] <JDWiker> Which is ... um ... empty.
[17:46] <RodneyThompson> It's NPR
[17:46] <TGM_Stan> Geist, it depends A LOT on how big he book is, what
format, whether it's color or b/w ... there's no easy answer. But
you should expect to spend a few thousand dollars just for printing
[17:46] <RodneyThompson> Badum, tisshh!
[17:46] <Zouron> JD> nice try though
[17:46] <Gary> ::rim shot:: for Rodney
[17:46] <Mat_Smith> Hey, here's one that's got a nifty illo. you might
have seen on TGM webpage
[17:47] <TGM_Stan> ga
[17:47] <JDWiker> What's that, Mat?
[17:47] <juanjose> ?
[17:47] <Mat_Smith> Bah. The Pet Rock of Earth Elemental Summoning.
[17:47] *** Kalai has left #TGM
[17:47] <TGM_Stan> Well, gentlemen, I have to leave in a minute
[17:47] <JDWiker> Juan, you're up.
[17:48] <ECagle> Hey, Stan!, I need to talk to you about Project X
later
[17:48] <Mike_M> I have to get going too. I'm off to work in 5.
[17:48] <juanjose> what other books are planned from TGM for early
2004? a new scion book? MM2, what else?
[17:48] <Zouron> stan!> may you draw a lot till next time ;-)
[17:48] <JDWiker> Marc, care to tackle Juan's question?
[17:48] <DerekNafaiJones> Have fun, Stan!
[17:48] <TGM_Stan> Thanks, Z
[17:48] *** Alex_Knight has quit IRC (User has been mind-ripped.)
[17:48] <TGM_Marc> OK.
[17:48] <JDWiker> Later, Stan! See you at lunch?
[17:48] <Gary> See ya later, Stan.
[17:48] <RodneyThompson> Goodbye, Stan!
[17:48] <Mat_Smith> See ya, Stan!
[17:48] <TGM_Stan> Yup ... see y'all at comics lunch
[17:48] <TGM_Marc> The next big book (and I mean 80 pages)
is the first City Quarters book.
[17:48] <Geist> night Stan
[17:49] <TGM_Marc> The Thieves' Quarter.
[17:49] <TGM_Stan> Take care all. Thanks for coming. Don't forget to
tip the waitstaff.
[17:49] <juanjose> oh forgot about that one, sounds VERY nice
[17:49] * DerekNafaiJones cheers for Theives' Quarter
[17:49] <Mike_M> Have a good day, er, night, whatever...everyone!
[17:49] <ECagle> Bye Mike!
[17:49] <Mat_Smith> Bye, Mike.
[17:49] <RodneyThompson> Bye Mike.
[17:49] <TGM_Marc> We figured out a while back that GMs
don't really want complete settings - they'll pick and choose what
they want to add to their home campaigns.
[17:49] <Gary> Can't wait to see TQ. :)
[17:49] <JDWiker> WE'll have to make sure we get Chris here for the
chat about THAT book ...
[17:49] *** Mike_M has quit IRC (Quit: Quit.)
[17:50] *** TGM_Stan has left #TGM
[17:50] <TGM_Marc> So, we've developed a full Thieves
Quarter with that in mind: The pieces are all granular. If you want
the whole thing, you can take it.
[17:50] <juanjose> (my wife came to pick me up, see you guys, make
sure to post the chat log!)
[17:50] <TGM_Marc> If you just want one NPC or, say, the
Alchemist's shop with the poison lab, you can just take those parts.
[17:50] *** Alex_Knight has joined #TGM
[17:50] *** juanjose has quit IRC (Quit: Client exiting.)
[17:50] <TGM_Marc> IT all works together, but it's
completely granular.
[17:50] <TGM_Marc> Checking the schedule... :)
[17:51] <TGM_Marc> Rich is going to lead a series of
Modern adventures....
[17:51] <RichRedman> Yepper
[17:51] <TGM_Marc> You have anything you'd like to say
about them now, Rich?
[17:51] <Gary> More good stuff like "Reaping," Rich?
[17:51] <RichRedman> First off - thanks for the plug, Gary.
[17:51] <Gary> Which one? ;)
[17:52] <ECagle> Good adventure...full of zombie goodness
[17:52] <RichRedman> The intent is to create 4 adventures this year,
all linked together as a mini-campaign and set in the same universe
as Reaping. BUT...
[17:52] * Zouron smiles brightly at the sound of more modern adventures.
[17:52] <KingOfLaw> Adventures have to be the hardest thing to
write :P
[17:52] <RichRedman> They will also contain extensive guides for
playing with NO FX, and guides for using the independently of each
other.
[17:52] <RodneyThompson> Thank You, and Come Again....For the Reaping
[17:53] <ECagle> KingofLaw...adventures ARE tough.
[17:53] <TGM_Marc> There will be a new Scion book.
Probably Rings, but JD's choice. JD?
[17:53] <RichRedman> There's another feature, but we're still
working on the details with a partner, so I can only tease that
much about it. /ga
[17:53] * RodneyThompson perks up.
[17:53] <Geist> yeah id rather keep just writing rules than
adventures myself.
[17:54] <RichRedman> I *love* writing adventures.
[17:54] <TGM_Marc> That may have skipped past JD, so I'll
repeat it:
[17:54] <TGM_Marc> There will be a new Scion book.
Probably Rings, but JD's choice. JD?
[17:54] <KingOfLaw> I have adventure ideas, but they just take so
much creative juice out of you.
[17:54] <JDWiker> Sorry ... was zoning out there.
[17:54] <JDWiker> Yes, it's looking like Rings (and other jewelry).
[17:54] <ECagle> Earrings of Power...
[17:54] <RichRedman> Yeah, King, but I have so much ju...oh, I better
not go there.
[17:54] <Zouron> Rich> based on Reaping.. I would say that your
affection for it shows :-)
[17:54] <KingOfLaw> o_o
[17:54] <TGM_Marc> And, the last thing I'll mention right
now is that we really want to get a second City Quarters book out
next year.
[17:54] <ECagle> Ahhhhh! Thanks for the visual, Rich
[17:55] <KingOfLaw> Hey, when it comes to monsters, I have more than
enough 'juice' so to speak.
[17:55] <KingOfLaw> er
[17:55] <RodneyThompson> Sounds like a great lineup.
[17:55] <TGM_Marc> Again, the City Quarters content is
JD's call, but I think it's in quick-drying cement by this time.
[17:55] * Geist finds this rather interesting as i just picked up the
modern GM screen / come for the reaping yesterday
[17:55] <TGM_Marc> ga
[17:55] <JDWiker> Yes, the foundation is laid ... for the Temple
Quarter.
[17:56] <RichRedman> Geist, if you have any questions, ask, or drop
by our message boards. I check them frequently.
[17:56] <JDWiker> As do we all, actually.
[17:56] * Zouron thinks it is a shame you guys don't drop by here more
often ;-)
[17:56] <JDWiker> Well, it's rolling up on 6 PM ... and we're WAY
off-script.
[17:56] * Garen does, too.
[17:56] <KingOfLaw> lol
[17:56] <TGM_Marc> Geist: Check the free material on the
website, too. There are some alternative pieces for Reaping there.
[17:56] <Gary> Shocking, isn't it?
[17:56] <RichRedman> yeah, well, there's that whole "job" thing, you
know...
[17:56] <JDWiker> Feel free to chat like crazy at this point.
[17:56] <RichRedman> So quotes nobody noticed:
[17:57] <RichRedman> I referred to the Swanky Modes, and it slipped
by everyone.
[17:57] <Geist> oh ive been all over your website :) as an aspiring w
riter ive done alot of investigating of the various d20 companies.
[17:57] <RichRedman> Then there was "Inflammable means flammable?
What a country!"
[17:57] <JDWiker> Simpsons.
[17:57] <RichRedman> Thank you, JD. It was in fact Dr. Nick.
[17:57] <RodneyThompson> Curses! I should have known that one.
[17:58] <TGM_Marc> Geist: This page has a link to a pdf
called "Customizing the Reaping" :
https://thegamemechanics.com/products/comeforthereaping.asp
[17:58] <JDWiker> I knew all along--I could even hear him saying that.
[17:58] <ECagle> Someone put the whip back on Rodney to get writing!
[17:58] <RodneyThompson> Hey!
[17:58] <ECagle> heh.
[17:58] <RichRedman> The Swanky Modes appear in the underappreciated
John Cusack/Tim Robbins film from former-Monkee Mike Nesmith,
"Tapeheads."
[17:58] <KingOfLaw> Geist: How many times have I offered you a
writing job now?..5 ot 6 times? Sheesh.

[17:58] * DerekNafaiJones stops playing with the whip and places it back on
Rodney.
[17:58] <RodneyThompson> I've been writing all day, cut me some slack.
[17:58] <ECagle> Any....other...Modern...Magic questions?
[17:58] * RodneyThompson shrugs.
[17:59] <RichRedman> For the record: It should be out early next week
on RPGNow.com
[17:59] <RichRedman> It's not a question, but at least it's on topic.
[17:59] <KingOfLaw> Same thing with Garen...you guys just want to
jump into the big boys arena instead of toeing the pool first :P
[17:59] <TGM_Marc> Yep. If I can shake this cold....
[17:59] <RodneyThompson> Great! I'll be looking for it to go live.
[17:59] * Zouron is more busy with psionics lately then modern magic :-p
so no Qs
[17:59] <Garen> What huh?
[17:59] <Gary> Stupid question: how about magic bullets?
[17:59] *** ECagle has quit IRC (User has been mind-ripped.)
[18:00] *** ECagle has joined #TGM
[18:00] <RodneyThompson> May even use some stuff in it for my
playtest group.
[18:00] <ECagle> hi again
[18:00] <JDWiker> I think we gave up on those with Kennedy.
[18:00] <Zouron> wb Cagle
[18:00] <RodneyThompson> ZING
[18:00] <DerekNafaiJones> I dunno--the Mythbusters semi-successfully
made a magic bullet.
[18:00] <RichRedman> In closing, I just want to say that if logic
prevailed, men would ride sidesaddle.
[18:00] <RichRedman> Good night, all!
[18:00] <RodneyThompson> Ha!
[18:00] <TGM_Marc> Later, Rich.
[18:00] <RodneyThompson> G'night Rich.
[18:00] <Zouron> night rich
[18:00] *** RichRedman has quit IRC
[18:01] <Garen> A smart man, that one...
[18:01] <ECagle> Mat, did you do up Magic bullets?
[18:01] <Mat_Smith> If I get those CDs done, I've got a pocketful of
magic ammunition I wnated to load up in Volume Two, if there's
still room/time.
[18:01] <Mat_Smith> I mean, *when* I get tose CDs done...
[18:01] <Mat_Smith> those
[18:01] <ECagle> If I don't hit my word count, there will be KIDDING!
heh..heh...
[18:01] <JDWiker> It'll be tricky, Mat--you've already written so
much that your part of Part II is finished.
[18:01] <Mat_Smith> bah
[18:02] <RodneyThompson> So when is JD actually going to write
something again?
[18:02] <JDWiker> So you'd have to cut stuff--stuff I've already
edited, mind you--to get it into Part II.
[18:02] <JDWiker> When I sober up.
[18:02] *** Lobo has joined #TGM
[18:02] <Gary> I thought you didn't drink...wine.
[18:02] <Garen> JD doesn't write anymore. He just points to a random
file on his computer and says "sell that."
[18:02] <Mat_Smith> Ah, yes.
[18:02] <ECagle> Jd's a Sterno man.
[18:02] <DerekNafaiJones> lol
[18:02] <Zouron> JD> any chances of that happening any time soon?
hehe
[18:02] <Gary> So JD is the "Front Line Assembly" of freelancers?
[18:02] <Lobo> Hi all
[18:03] <ECagle> Howdy Lobo
[18:03] <Mat_Smith> Hey, Lobo.
[18:03] <Zouron> hey Lobo
[18:03] <JDWiker> Evening, sheriff.
[18:03] <Gary> Hiya, Lobo.
[18:03] <Lobo> How long is the Chat scheduled for tonight?
[18:03] <JDWiker> Which part, Zouron?
[18:03] <ECagle> JD doesn't write stuff, he just tortures us with his
adventures
[18:03] <Zouron> JD> sobering up ;-)
[18:03] <JDWiker> Pfft!
[18:03] <RodneyThompson> You don't have any room to complain.
[18:04] <RodneyThompson> At least you're playing Modern.
[18:04] <ECagle> He's only killed me....twice?
[18:04] <Gary> I second Rodney.
[18:04] <TGM_Marc> I hate to go, but I'm sick and I want
to get away from the computer for a bit. So, I'll have to catch you
all later. If someone sends me a transcript of this chat, I'll try
to post it.
[18:04] <TGM_Marc> Night!
[18:04] *** Disconnected
