Brock Ohmama can be seen wearing a new necktie. Dark red silk with a diagonal pinstripe, tied in a half Windsor.

Xcrawl downtime totally legal adventures will be occurring tomorrow at the standard time. If anyone has special requests please throw them at me, otherwise Purvis stealing things will probably drive the madness.

Gonna steal a whale~

Vampire Arthur Ashe. Former Xcrawl star. Current member of Imperial Special Operations, Special Forces.

It turns out Xcrawl is not only entertainment, it is a recruiting tool for SpecFor.

I may not be available this Saturday.

Iced Fairy · « **Reply #95 on:** August 14, 2014, 06:59:57 PM »

That's... troublesome.

I've gotten three people saying they have schedule conflicts. So I want to get everyone to comment. People who can make it at the normal time please say so, people who have conflicts say if they can make partial game and if so when.

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #96 on:** August 15, 2014, 04:47:46 AM »

I should have no problems.

Amraphenson · « **Reply #97 on:** August 15, 2014, 06:15:32 AM »

No conflict that will actually affect my presence. I'll type slower at best.

O4rfish · « **Reply #98 on:** August 16, 2014, 06:42:38 PM »

Yeah, I'll be helping a friend move.

Alright, so money.

Wealth by level, as always, is a huge pain. Especially since I can't care enough about items to just ban magic item sales and keep you proper level that way. Not in 3.P's terrible terrible item heavy system. SO! We need to consider some way of handling 'massive prizes' while not breaking the game wide open.

Idea 1 - I keep trying to force wealth by level via money sinks.

Idea 2 - The XCrawl people force you to stay at fixed wealth by level. This means that you'll all have to keep track of what's your legit gear and what's out of Crawl only stuff. Upsides is it works. Downsides is more math for you all.

Idea 3 - I make all the prices of magic stuff in platinum instead of gold, meaning I can make your rewards an order of magnitude larger without worrying, and big windfalls don't mess everything up as much.

Idea 4 through X - Anything you all offer.

Speaking as someone who already voluntarily moneysinks, sorta, I like the idea of money sinks. It seems in character in Ronnie's Empire for Don King to be in the shadows, taking 90%.

Stuffman · « **Reply #102 on:** August 18, 2014, 12:49:43 AM »

#2 was my idea so I like that one. You could potentially have a whole big kit of magic items and decide which ones to bring with you.

Combat outside of crawls remains an issue, but could be resolved by simply not having fights outside of crawls that we have a chance to prepare for.

Iced Fairy · « **Reply #103 on:** August 20, 2014, 09:50:32 PM »

Opinions from the others would be good, even if it is just "don't care"

More Importantly:

Next game will be delayed until 8PM PDT. I'll actually probably be in earlier, but I can't be sure when I'll get back.

Amraphenson · « **Reply #104 on:** August 21, 2014, 02:19:58 AM »

Don't mind money wise myself. And noted, schedule wise.

PX · « **Reply #105 on:** August 21, 2014, 02:21:34 AM »

I'm all for option 1. It's more funny.

O4rfish · « **Reply #106 on:** August 21, 2014, 02:39:52 AM »

1 and 2 are both good. I like the idea of a money sink that we can interact with, such as real estate or an airship, or a charity organization.

~~Maya's neighbourhood~~

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #108 on:** August 22, 2014, 07:05:35 AM »

Really, it'd be a good idea for everyone to come up with good moneysinks for their characters. Annie has her Conan Curse, Brock has his ambitions. I could see Maya pouring money into alchemy nonsense, and possibly neighborhood revitalization. Macaiah, I dunno about it, not seen enough of her character to know what she even does outside of crawls. Dot can totally throw millions at fine art (totally not worksafe, but also fine art so by definition worksafe.)

Oh yeah. I'll be here the 23, but not the 30. Anime convention in Vancouver (although I doubt they'll have anything like THAT there)

Does anyone have a recap of the last episode which I missed?

We are now experiencing Kaiji.
At the beginning of this new multi-day dungeon all the participants get to borrow a certain amount of money; for every day they stay in they have to pay twice that. The more money that is borrowed the more the sponsors are motivated to put good stuff in the dungeon. The party entered the third tier of the five floor dungeon and have rescued both a drow and a kobold after properly exploring the floor's perimeter; our first task after heading to the inner rooms is to deal with a bunch of...sahuagin? I think...that are guarding some faeries. We traded a succubus corpse for loot and got some magic stuff off an unfortunate monk killed by said succubus.

This sounds like Liar Game.

DO WE GET TO LEAVE?!

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #115 on:** September 13, 2014, 06:20:10 PM »

Not with me, you don't. I most def won't be able to make it tonight.

O4rfish · « **Reply #116 on:** September 13, 2014, 07:05:00 PM »

I'll be here.

Iced Fairy · « **Reply #117 on:** September 13, 2014, 10:41:11 PM »

We lost PX, so we're down to 3. That sadly means no. :ohdear:

Definitely going back to single day missions for a long while after this.

O4rfish · « **Reply #118 on:** September 14, 2014, 01:07:50 AM »

Hey, for the money thing, you can say things like "you get 10k gp each: 1k for gear and 9k into the sink of your choice"

also I am wondering: what do the other players think about collectively buying a house?

Iced Fairy · « **Reply #119 on:** September 14, 2014, 01:34:30 AM »

Actually... Hrm...

O4rfish you are the only person capable of legit purchasing property. How interested are you in buying a neighborhood?
