Editing Chuubo-1:5 (section)

==STOP==
<@Random_Nerd> So, what did you guys think of that one?<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Both the GMing, and the Chuubo stuff.<br>
<@Mrs_Senko> Yay!<br>
* Luthien is now known as Lazarus<br>
* deMontreal is now known as Knockwood<br>
<@Random_Nerd> I thought everyone did a good job of applying their own methodologies to the problem at hand.<br>
<@Lazarus> I got to be fun with Luthi :)<br>
<@Lili> I am glad the bombs are not in the school.<br>
* Lili is now known as BethE<br>
<@Knockwood> starting to get into LdM's mindset<br>
<@BethE> How was the Lili stuff?  I'm trying to get more into her heard.<br>
<@BethE> head even<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Yeah, that seemed to be working.<br>
<@BethE> Is the snarking with deMontreal believable?<br>
<@Mrs_Senko> I find that ''playing'' Mrs. Senko makes it difficult to try and fight the other players' wishpower, but showing off the Bleak Method when she can works better.<br>
<@Knockwood> Well, thing is, LdM and Lili are direct rivals<br>
* Natalia is now known as Etheric<br>
<@Knockwood> or would be if he was sure who she was<br>
* Mrs_Senko is now known as Verithe<br>
<@BethE> DeMontreal can just think of her as the idea that Chuubo created the wishing machine in a way to directly insult deMontreal by insulting him to his face.<br>
<@Knockwood> Of course, me snarking at Senko is something else...<br>
<@Lazarus> I'm going to go crawl into bed and pass out now.  g'night!<br>
<@Knockwood> g'night Laz<br>
<@Verithe> Good night, Laz<br>
<@BethE> Night, Laz!<br>

<@BethE> Him snarking at Senko is just natural.  Creation's response to the Outside.<br>
<@Knockwood> Actually you could argue about me cooperating with Lili<br>
<@Etheric> Last session and the one before, I had trouble getting into the scene.<br>
<@Etheric> This week I'm not 100% as responsive as I'd like, but it's clearly better.<br>
<@Etheric> I also appreciate RN making an effort to work Natalia in, a few times.<br>
<@Verithe> Actually, could I retroactively have Mrs. Senko "brighten" to see Lillimund hard at work?<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Okay.<br>
<@Verithe> Because she would.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Really, I pretty much had to work her in.  She's the only one who could reliably spot alternate history stuff.<br>
<@Etheric> One thing I'd like to improve, personally, is the planning of a Scene while we're inside it.  They do it well in the Example of Play, but we're still a little awkward.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Yeah.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Which reminds me, do you guys have Rand Britain's quick guides to scenes/issues/etc?<br>
<@Knockwood> not me<br>
<@Etheric> Quick guide?  I don't.<br>
<@Etheric> That sounds helpful.<br>
<@BethE> He just created it recently.  <br>
<@BethE> He is incredibly awesome about it.<br>
<@Verithe> I do not.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Sending.<br>
<@Verithe> Is it on the forum?<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Etheric, what's your email again?<br>
<@Verithe> Yay, emails!<br>
<@Etheric> ''[redacted]''<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Sent.<br>
<@Etheric> I really like the Scene rules, but they're unfamiliar, so it's been hard to wrap my head around them in practice.<br>
<@Etheric> Hope this helps a little.  Thanks.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Yeah, I haven't gotten to the point where I can do them well on the fly either.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> So, since this log will go to Jenna anyway, anything to tell her about your reactions to Chuubo?<br>
<@Knockwood> got 'em<br>
<@BethE> Whee!<br>
<@Verithe> I would definitely like some form of character cheat sheet for players.<br>
<@BethE> It's hard to get a character sheet down to just one sheet of essentials.  Index will be really necessary.<br>
<@Knockwood> Let's see, I think I have a point of It Never Stops!<br>
<@Verithe> Like, an abridged set of what to be watching for in interactions and what the character can do. Even if it's a fill-it-in-yourself thing.<br>
<@BethE> Otherwise, brain not working.   Sugar rush and/or caffeine is needed for good Lili-ness.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> So, Amyra next week, and then Chuubo again the next?<br>
<@Knockwood> Hm. Well, they might want to clarify what LdM can get from Nightmares...<br>
<@Verithe> Sounds good.<br>
<@Knockwood> If he's got a sound sleeper like Soun and a little imagination that could be a make-anything spell.<br>
<@Knockwood> ... the Lathe of Heaven,in fact. Maybe that's what she wanted.<br>
<@Etheric> Right.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Well, as I read it, he can pretty much get mundane parts and tools, but nothing too out there without using the Nightmare Engine.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> So, it's a convenience, but it's not as if he couldn't get the same results with a machine shop and some time.<br>
<@BethE> Well, all, I need sleep.  For the log - Jenna, loving the game and reading through the pdfs.  Man, that is a ''lot'' of reading!  ^^  Oh and Luthi and Lili need some kind of Bonds for each other.<br>
<@Verithe> That's the Bleak Method!<br>
<@BethE> Night, guys!  :)<br>
<@Knockwood> g'night Beth<br>
* ''@BethE (~BethL@MagicStar-4BF6DF39.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Disintegrated: All shall love me and despair?)''<br>
<@Random_Nerd> G'night, guys.<br>
<@Verithe> I'm also really loving the game and all of the characters are really fun.<br>
<@Knockwood> g'night RN<br>
<@Verithe> And I'm sad we missed Angelo and Soun this week. :(<br>
<@Verithe> G'night, RN!<br>
<@Knockwood> Slowly getting into the game... maybe playing LdM wasn't such a bad idea after all.:)<br>
