Derek was created under 1st edition rules.
It was my first character I played with Mr. Gray and Mr. Green, way way way back.
8:43 AM Mr. Yellow
I am fairly sure converting is going to be a pain in the ass.
8:47 AM Mr. Silver
Probably a little. What level was he?
8:53 AM Mr. Yellow
I am trying to remember, but I am pretty sure he was 20th.
Possibly higher. Didn't the xp chart go higher than 20 for 2nd edition?
9:15 AM Mr. Green
I didn't think 2nd Ed went higher than 20... not sure though.
9:16 AM Mr. Gray
It did.
It was like 1.2 mil experience points per level after that, or some insane amount.
9:16 AM Mr. Silver
"Weird..."
"What?"
"Level 25...under XP it says 'Go outside, kid'."
9:17 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
(Proposed magic items found in the stock of my character, abandoned by his party for months – Mr. Silver)
10:49 AM Mr. Silver
Magic item #1: Unending Cup of Campbell's Soup For One
10:49 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
10:49 AM Mr. Yellow
sounds nice
10:49 AM Mr. Silver
Activates only if all alone and the owner cries into it.
#2: Solitaire Deck of Many Things
When shuffled, the first card flipped magically lays out the deck in a different single player card game.
10:27 AM Mr. Silver
Bummer about the plane crash .
I didn't see a list of casualties and probably wouldn't recognize the players, but that sucked.
10:30 AM Mr. Blue
Yeah, 3 of the guys played in the NHL just last season.
I recognized about 10 names, and one of the two survivors was a decent prospect a few years back.
10:32 AM Mr. Silver
At least they went without any slow freezing or cannibalism.
Bleh.
10:33 AM Mr. Blue
Weird how so few people survive plane crashes. Only 2 survived this one.
10:33 AM Mr. Silver
Angel - "Got a request in... God's expanding the hockey league and we need another team of guys. Got anything?"
"There's a team flight about to take off in Russia, sir."
"Religious?"
"Not most of 'em."
"Hmm...Are they any good?"
"Decent...have a look at the stats."
"Crash it."
10:38 AM Mr. Blue
Heheh
10:43 AM Mr. Silver
(Tacks on some Purgatory)
More like karma, but Catholic school inserts some fun words/concepts
“Hell Lite”
10:45 AM Mr. Blue
10:46 AM Mr. Silver
Dia de los Muertos is one thing I'd love to go to Mexico for.
what led you to that?
10:48 AM Mr. Blue
Saw it in random image galleries: girls with that sort of makeup.
I couldn't figure out what to call it so I searched "day of the dead girl"
I mean, it helps that they're hot girls and they'd look good in just about any makeup, but I dig the morbidity. But it's not gory or anything
10:54 AM Mr. Silver
Celebratory death, yes. No gore or necrosis like Halloween. Not "clinical".
11:09 AM Mr. Blue
Yes. Beauty still evident.
11:13 AM Mr. Blue
Bet they were Republicans.
11:15 AM Mr. Silver
"Scandal-free record exploded with extravagant flair in Arkansas today"
12:50 PM Mr. Blue
I like how that Rick Perry guy prayed for rain, and he got historic fires.
12:51 PM Mr. Silver
(rolls eyes)
12:51 PM Mr. Blue
Dip
Maybe there *is* a god, and he's a troll.
12:51 PM Mr. Silver
“But that's not a sign from God...in this case!”
If he'd gotten rain, that'd be from God.
Got fires? That's just “nature”, right? (clasps hands and looks to heaven, hopefully)
12:53 PM Mr. Blue
Its a sign from the Devil, probably.
Or a sign from God that [insert political opinion] is wrong: gay marriage, tax cuts, bailouts
The masses are still pretty dumb; maybe they always will be.
1:05 PM Mr. Silver
How about a "Checking in with God" campaign?
Wouldn't that be fun?
1:10 PM Mr. Silver
(sarcastic baritone voiceover) "Rick Perry says he was asked to run for president by God. But what does God have to say about Rick Perry? Let's listen to some quotes in the recent news."
(pic of clouds in blue sky: 5 long seconds of silence) "Yeah, that's right...nothing. But they're best buddies, right? How about all those prayers? How did God deliver for his best bud?"
"Here's Rick Perry praying for rain...(clip). And here's what God gave him. (fires)"
"God...He hates Rick Perry."
"You wanna be like God, right?"
(Pic of Perry with horns, tail and pitchfork)
1:14 PM Mr. Blue
Heheheh
That would be so effective it would be frightening
That's funny!
1:15 PM Mr. Silver
Let's just lump 'em all into that campaign. All the “God told me to run” crowd.
1:41 PM Mr. Silver
So, who do we give this commercial to?
1:42 PM Mr. Blue
We aren't pro-anybody. Just anti-Perry and others.
I actually liked Huntsman until I found out he was a Mormon.
He must, then, believe in chariots and horses in Pre-Columbian America.
I can handle voting for a Buddhist, Christian or a Jew...maybe even a Muslim, but certainly not a Mormon.
2:13 PM Mr. Silver
(sarcastic voiceover) "Huntsman believes in scriptures delivered on gold tablets that miraculously vanished, readable only with magic glasses, describing a vast culture that also miraculously vanished leaving no evidence of any kind. He also believes in angels named things like Moroni. Really, Mr. Huntsman? Really? Ask yourself: who's the real Moroni in his campaign?"
2:16 PM Mr. Blue
lol
"Paid for by Citizens against Huntsman"
2:17 PM Mr. Silver
“Paid for by citizens against Moroni-C candidates.”
2:17 PM Mr. Blue
heheh
Replay the same one for Romney.
2:20 PM Mr. Silver
(definition reader, pleasant woman voiceover) "Moroni - Noun. 1. A so-called angelic writer of the Book of Mormon. 2. Plural of the Latin - moron. Moroni... (slow fade-in picture of of Huntsman and Romney together)"
“Paid for by citizens against Moroni-C candidates.”
2:25 PM Mr. Silver
Good bit on that one is it's catchy and people might not even bother looking up what we're talking about.
3:33 PM Mr. Blue
I’d like to invest in gold, but I want, like, an actual gold bar and stuff.
Or maybe silver.
3:39 PM Mr. Silver
Silver's cheaper, of course.
Gold, I believe, is a scam in progress.
Diamonds have been junk for 20 years or more.
3:39 PM Mr. Silver
My scheme was stockpiling helium.
3:39 PM Mr. Blue
I read somewhere that all the mined gold on earth wouldn't fill 3 Olympic sized swimming pools.
3:40 PM Mr. Silver
Nope...t'ain't much of it.
3:41 PM Mr. Blue
Why is gold a scam?
3:42 PM Mr. Silver
Feels like it
Ultimate penny stock scam.
3:43 PM Mr. Silver
Inflate to a beyond ridiculous value, and then sell out to the suckers before the value plummets to normal and you're clear.
I was pretty positive I watched it happen a month or so back when an investor dropped like a $billion worth in one go.
But it's entirely possible that mass hysteria is keeping it rolling.
3:44 PM Mr. Blue
Silver would be good because it's malleable and stuff, right?
So when we go to a post-apocalyptic anarchy you can just shave off some silver to pay for goods.
That's where they got the term "two bits" from.. Spanish silver dollars
Broken into 10 pieces.. you wanted something for "a quarter", you gave them two pie-slices.
3:48 PM Mr. Silver
8 pieces
8 bits
“Pieces of 8”
3:48 PM Mr. Blue
Oh yeah, right.
3:48 PM Mr. Silver
"Arrr! Bring me me reals de diez, lad! Time to split 'em ta make shares!"
"Uh...about that...We can't really divide 'em into 10's Cap'n."
"By thunder! Ye'll cut me metric bits, 'r I'll divide ye in two!"
"Can't we just use dimes, Cap'n?"
3:51 PM Mr. Silver
"God! These are, like, the WORST 'X-Ray Specs' I've ever seen, dude."
"Total rip-off!"
3:53 PM Mr. Blue
hahah
