You can have Western Marches' time slot again this week.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to show up or not.

Incorrect you will show up.

Want to guarantee that? Okay...
Write for me, using a  MIPS trapframe implemented in C (but not C++), a functioning kernel that implements three versions of scheduling (which you can switch between as you start up the kernel by passing in some arguments), and a functioning file system with process threading. Make sure your code for the execv() and fork() system calls are especially well-commented.
For an extra 5% bonus, make it so that I can have the kernel pass command line arguments in to new processes when they start up.

Programming? oh no, I'm a system (game) mechanics guy. Most of what you said was gibberish.


edit-is there going to be a game today?

[Demonic Spoon]

is there going to be a game today?

[Shoruke]

If there is, I'll be three hours late or so...
EDIT: make that between 3.25 and 3.5 hours. I'll need to eat, do the dishes, and feed the cats.

I just looked at the first guy I made for this campaign, as awesome as Adler is, I wish I was playing Orville.

[RedWarrior0]

I apologize for lateness. There will, indeed be a game tonight, and the server is up.

(How much exp was that Gnome worth again?)
Veshnoal didn't really have much time to write a journal during this session, and he definitely wouldn't stop to write stuff when faced with a bona fide demonic ritual.

The short version is, we fought a kobold, killed a gnome, and gnow we're facigng dowgn agnother gnome who's sittigng in the middle of a bloody pegntagram (as in, a pegntagram made of blood) with a corpse. Agnd he just bagnished Commagneder Kail from this plagne.
(Did I overdo the rugngnign gag?)

Gnome was 900 xp.

Also, you may not have picked up on the line where Baldy referred to a "last time" he did something (like the upcoming) and was allied with an archon.

He also swore in Infernal, was told to go to Avernus (a quick know(religion) check lets you know that that's the first of the Nine Hells), and was called a dogai.

[Shoruke]

Pragmatism dictates that I go look all of those things up.
Good roleplaying dictates that I do not, having failed not one but three knowledge checks.
Augh, what do I d-

Did I mention that I am down to 2 power points and a dorje of matter agitation and will likely be facing a seven headed red dragon?

So, I'm checking out tomb of battle, and I won't be taking sword sage, but there is a feat that allows me to learn a single maneuver equal to a guy at half my level (if I take it at 8 it should be a 3rd level maneuver) and it says I can use it once an encounter, does that effect/affect stances?

[RAM]

One way to think of it is that an effect is an entity that influences other entities and that an affect is a relationship between two entities.
 In "Gravity is pulling the sky down." "gravity" is an effect that is making the sky fall.
 In "The sky gravitates towards our insignificant heads." "gravitates" is an affect that explains what the sky is doing.
Another way is to think of effect as a noun and affect as a verb.
 "The house murdered the cloud." features nouns and verbs which can be replaced with other nouns and verbs like so:
 "The stool ate the embarrassment" or
 "The effect affected the entity"
Of course, none of this is particularly accurate...
In conclusion, I believe that the word you are looking for is 'include' and I wouldn't know...

Snip

Edit: okay, I get it now.

Also, Martial Study doesn't allow stances. That needs Martial Stance.

And other things that I meant to mention last night:
-Veshnoal and Kevkul recognized the ritual as some messed up (as in crazy, insane) version of Pact Magic, wherein a binder binds some spirit (be it a dead god, a dead outsider too willful to merge with it's plane, or whatever) to himself for power.
-The 'dragon' sort of dove into the gnome at the center.
-Somewhere in the zillion knowledge checks, Veshnoal or Kevkul know that devils = LE, demons = CE, and recall the knowledge that there has been a Blood War between the two for some looo(insert a lot of o)ooong time. Oh, and archons = LG
-Infernal = Devil speak, Abyssal = Demon speak.
