Don't worry, if I find any kind of holy artifact I'll tell the party it belongs in a museum.

You should also roll will to handle snakes

Start a traveling museum of holy and useful artifacts that the party drags around with them. You get to put it in a museum and the party gets to play with divine toys.
Thus, everyone wins! :v:
Okay, session time seems to be finalised for Dark Heresy. Tuesdays at 11pm GMT although we may run a little earlier or later depending on whether or not everyone is available. We don't need to start exactly on that time but if you could ensure that your sheets and everything are done by then that'd be great.
Sorry to spam the thread but this is the only place I can really contact all of you at once outside of steam.

Also Indiana Bones is on my list of characters I have to play someday.

Preferred timezone is around GMT +0[/QUOTE]
Sorry antary, you know I'm a californian. If you lived closer I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[/quote]
Okay continuing the alien saga, we poked around. As one of our space samurai wasn't here to play this session he promptly passed out and needed to be carried up to the surface out of the Purple Peanut Butter factory. Meanwhile our Ex-Cop is rooting around in one of the offices despite his sudden stress-induced hunger pangs and craving for calamari. Inside this office is a pod on the wall gestating and wiggling as well as a computer full of delivery manifest info and population tracking. Deciding that some shifty shit has been going on the boxer and the other space samurai join our ex-cop only after a ten minute argument about the fact they don't want to go back into the facility before finally caving in and going down, with the space samurai cutting down the pod. Inside is a partially digested(?) morph, the stack to which we take.
Looking in one of the areas that the aliens that attacked us from, there's a set of electronic files on experiments, one of the subjects being our objective Seedan Birch. In the test Birch is adminstered something, goes black and starts freaking out, forming wierd bumps on his body before breaking free and needing to be restrained and put into storage.
Later as we're looking through the archives we find out that there's a whole bunch of other similar facilities on Mars as well as Ceres, and that our contact in the Planetary Consortium as well as another member of the PC are also on the 9 Lives contact list. Suitably confused and in most cases mentally traumatised after the aliens, we stop looking stuff up and try to complete our mission.
Next up was us tracking down Seedan Birch's morph in storage. Releasing him from cryogenic storage he sort of just lay on the floor until we poked him, then he started thrashing around and spitting. No Party Hats' swordsman "bisected" him, cutting him in two in the hopes it'd kill him.
His upper body started snarling and spitting and crawling away.
So he cut his head off.
The head rolled around.
So he cut the head in half
this kills the morph
Deciding that we were officially fucking done we took Birch's cortical stack and hauled ass into the VTOL to return to New Shanghai. On our way back we get radioed by the Police with two of their VTOLs pulling up either side of us, apparently our Russian Boxer is under arrest for murdering the comedian earlier (even though our ex-cop is the guy that shot him.) After posting for help on the mesh our Boxer calls in a favour with an influential member of Mars' cultural elite. Landing and being told we were free to go we left the police station with big shit eating grins having quite literally gotten away with murder. The cops were all glaring at us as our boxer asked them why they were mad, reminding them everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
Later my AGI scored a stash of a drug called Mono no Aware (or more accurately, an executable program that replicates the effects of Mono no Aware).
[quote]Mono No Aware:Taken from the Japanese term for sadness at the ephemerality of worldly things, this drug, typically ingested as a tea, is a depressant that induces a meditative state. Mono No Aware gives the character a +10 bonus on Art and Sense Tests. With frequent use, Mono No Aware reacts with pigments in the skin to create a pallor with a slight bluish tinge, even in darker-skinned morphs. [Low][/quote]
After getting high off of my Narcoalgorithm I attempted to make some Digital Art. Failing my roll, I promptly took another dose and descended into a cyber-drug induced stupor. With two doses of Mono no Aware going through my algorithms I entered a state of nearly complete oblivion to the rest of the world, thoroughly spacing out as I made digital art and virtual reality environments.
Meanwhile, the rest of the party went to the second best bar on Mars and attempted to pick up girls. Our samurai lectured a bunch of drunken frat boys about action movie sword fights, swinging his sword around as everyone cheered him on and our Ex-Cop got laid and decided to write a book.
And that's how it ended.

Cut out all the extraneous stuff for you guys.
it was a robot
and i knew putting skillpoints into Interest (Action Movies) would pay off one day
To people that are familiar with Eclipse Phase's setting (GM material only, this is spoilers for players): [sp]what's your take on the ETI? How well do you think they can be used in games rather than incredibly distant boogeymen, ie "yes we created the exsurgent virus, what're you gonna do about it faget we're like a bazillion light years away and we're also omniscient"[/sp]
Also, and more spoiler-free: what about the TITANs? Have they ever come up in a game of yours or have they always remained off-stage adversaries?

Sorry about that. I posted in the Skype chat why I didn't show up.

That's okay, we were really just finishing up the last session so we were done pretty quickly anyway.
Where would I go about getting my first D&D Board or whatever? Me and my friends have played it on Roll20 but it's shit and takes ages to make a campaign, nevermind play it.
What are the essentials we need?
Miniatures, dice, grid?? What else?

Dice and a handbook. Miniatures and grid is only needed if you're going to be tactical in your battles (which is a lot of fun, but takes ages). Me and my mates have actually found that Legos do the job better than miniatures and grids. Sure, it's not the best for immersion, but it's easy to set up an arena (house, street, dungeon, forest, whatever), and you can personalize your figure.
There is one problem, however. The guys can't stop playing with the Legos.

Get a whiteboard, and a marker. Thats your board right there. You can get dice and miniatures from any of those nerdy stores.
Also, make sure the handbooks are the same edition. They are available as PDF's, and if you're playing 3.5e, there is an absolutely amazing site called d20srd.org. If you're playing PF, you can use the PF SRD, but it's more confusing.
I actually think Pathfinder's pretty accessible as systems go, but that's just me.
PF's SRD is waaay easier to use than 3.5e's, plus [I]all[/I] Pathfinder's stuff is on there.
I still prefer 3.5 since i'm an old fashioned faggot, but if you're completely new to D&D you should just go Pathfinder.
I always found d20SRD to have a better layout than PFSRD. The text is a bit smaller, there is a better overview of the tables, there are no disturbing ads, the background is more calm, and so on.

[sp]It's hard enough incorporating an enemy which is almost omnipotent into the game but using ETI is even harder. I don't really plan on doing a whole lot with them.[/sp]
TITANs are a distant enemy for my group at the moment but I'm sure that one of these sessions they will pose a serious threat.
I can picture it now Hellraiser.
"Hello this is firewall, we need you to go into the quarantine zone... What, you dont wanna do that? Its for transhumanity you pussy lol"
Oh I'm fine with entering the Quarantine zone, but we either need to get some good defense on our VTOL *cough cough my gunturret idea cough cough* or we're using a land vehicle to go in there.
Well at the moment it'll be a while until we can even think of scoring a gun as we used all of our high level favors already, and I doubt we have enough credits to even think of scoring one legally or illegally.
Listen, if we can wait a month, I can get us a fucking fighter jet with the level of rep I have.
Right, DMing a 4e one-off I wrote about a Duergar Stronghold I loosely based on a dragon lair I liked in the Draconomicon and my players seem to be really enjoying it, which is good. I too am enjoying this more than a prepublished adventure and want to write some more lengthy stuff, maybe a loosely tied together campaign of adventures for over summer. Any thoughts/suggestions for a newbie to this stuff? I've been reading the stuff in the DMG and the Dungeon Magazines which is helpful, but the more the merrier :v:
