   [20:07] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Alright, I'm going to go ahead and start, my name is Astrid and I am a Storyteller here at Legacies
   [20:07] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): well so ya know, mike's a lot nicer than luci is. storytellers are the tutors/GM/reffs right?
   [20:08] Varen CCS Celtic Collar: Varen CCS Adjustable Armor : Warmup, please wait 10 seconds.
   [20:08] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Storytellers are sort of your RP guides.... We help with Dice Roll questions, we watch fights, record important RPs
   [20:08] Varen CCS Celtic Collar: Bunny Yakubu Varen CCS Adjustable Armor : Initializing, please wait ...
   [20:09] Astrid (astrid.floresby): If you murder someone, we're called in to leave state information for the body
   [20:10] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): so ...just so i am clear, a fight ends in a KO, but the actual finsishing off happens too? it was rare to see actual permadeath where i rp'd before, is all.
   [20:10] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Ask your self 5 simple questions does your RP....
   1. affect Health?
   2. affect Strength?
   3. affect Life?
   4. affect Mental state?
   5. affects any visible object or build?
   [20:10] Astrid (astrid.floresby): If you answer YES to any of the above, then call for a Storyteller using /9st.
   [20:12] Astrid (astrid.floresby): No permadeath is allowed without player consent
   [20:12] Gan (gantheral.mason): I have a question about 4 and 5?
   [20:13] Bunny Rofcal (bunny.yakubu): Ok so if your going to be rping an injury would you need a storyteller there too? I just assumed anyone who looses a fight would be rping some kind of injury...
   [20:13] Bunny Rofcal (bunny.yakubu): youre*
   [20:13] Astrid (astrid.floresby): If there is a defeat in a fight, the player is given a choice, they can been 99% damage and go into "Recovery" mode or they can die, then they can if they choose find someone to reserect them haunt their killer... etec.
   [20:13] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Gan - your question
   [20:14] Gan (gantheral.mason): when you say Mental state are you talking about the Mental state of the rper or the mental damge done and when you says object or build do you mean like affect prims?
   [20:16] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Mental state means, means yes affecting the mental state of another character, so llike.... trying to drive them mad, possess them... ST's are called in those types of instances only because we make sure they are done fairly for both parties
   [20:17] Astrid (astrid.floresby): and yes, something that damage the environment, breaking a window, setting something on fire, etc.
   [20:18] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): *waves hand* whats a fair dice roll to attempt raping a mailbox?
   [20:19] Astrid (astrid.floresby): And Bunny... my suggestion is if you are fighting, I would HIGHLY recommend calling an ST at least for the first couple of times. We RP fight in Legacies, using Dice rolls in a round robin
   [20:19] Sebastian: ((Scooter Miles is In Character))
   [20:19] Astrid (astrid.floresby): *snickers* dicerolls are later.
   [20:19] Bunny Rofcal (bunny.yakubu): round robin?
   [20:19] Gan (gantheral.mason): turn based
   [20:19] Bunny Rofcal (bunny.yakubu): oh ok
   [20:19] Astrid (astrid.floresby): yep
   [20:20] Bunny Rofcal (bunny.yakubu): Never heard that term before heh
   [20:21] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Ok, So first, I'm going to talk about the HUD and what all those things mean.
   [20:22] Astrid (astrid.floresby): So your Health... That is how much damage you can take before passing out
   [20:23] Astrid (astrid.floresby): If your health runs out, your character is defeated, but it's more akin to falling unconscious then death
   [20:23] Gan (gantheral.mason): what does that mean different stages?
   [20:24] Astrid (astrid.floresby): what do you mean?
   [20:24] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): are the dice rolls similar to pen and paper games like D&D right? saving throws and skill checks, right?
   [20:25] Gan (gantheral.mason): like if you get knocked out first then if you don't get a doctor within a certain time limit you die?
   [20:25] Astrid (astrid.floresby): I am going to make a confession! I have never played pen and paper games. But no. In fact you can revive yourself
   [20:27] Astrid (astrid.floresby): A great example of it, is someone was defeated by the rats outside the cafe, another player comes by slaps him and says "Wake up!" Then did revive
   [20:27] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Hi Emma :)
   [20:28] Emma Jane (emmarosee): Sorry I am late.
   [20:28] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Next is strength, this is how much force you can exert before hurting yourself
   [20:28] Scooter Miles: I was defeated by a rat, and now I can never live it down
   [20:28] Astrid (astrid.floresby): no problem :)
   [20:28] Astrid (astrid.floresby): I'm going to tell you a secret... everyone's been defeated by a rat XD
   [20:29] Gan (gantheral.mason): i haven't yet?
   [20:29] Emma Jane (emmarosee): Not yet!
   [20:29] Emma Jane (emmarosee): Now that mastiff...
   [20:29] Astrid (astrid.floresby): giggles... but they're feisty buggers!
   [20:29] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): ..... i killed 2 rats on my first day... then i come back, more rats, i think i should just spay the bastards.
   [20:29] Gan (gantheral.mason): oh god
   [20:29] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ugh
   [20:29] Gan (gantheral.mason): not the dog
   [20:29] Emma Jane (emmarosee): I fear the giant spider less than the dog.
   [20:29] Astrid (astrid.floresby): lol
   [20:30] Astrid (astrid.floresby): If you run out of strength, you will start to lose health
   [20:30] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): do you expend strength running?
   [20:31] Emma Jane (emmarosee): You get it back if while running you flap your arms and scream frantically :)
   [20:31] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Life.... This is your actual lifeforce. If if gets to 0, you are dead and need to be resurrected by a high level character.
   [20:32] Astrid (astrid.floresby): heh, you will use strength doing things like putting on armor, fighting NPCs... all those things take your strength, and if you don't rest or heal yourself, you will start to hurt
   [20:32] Joshua Taggart: That's a good question. How is the deduction of hunger and strength counted? As Luci asked, does your STR go down when you run? Like stamina?
   [20:33] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Running not as much. But it will make your hunger increase faster. The rate at which you get hungry is race dependant
   [20:34] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Whiich brings me to the next section anyway! Hunger!
   [20:36] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Your characters DO need to feed. How that happens is unique for your character. You want to keep it under 50% That is when you begin to get reallly hungry. If you get 100% hunger you are physically starving and your stats will drop dramatically.
   [20:36] Astrid (astrid.floresby): How are some ways you get food?
   [20:36] Emma Jane (emmarosee): From the corpses of our enemies!
   [20:36] Gan (gantheral.mason): eat dead rats?
   [20:36] Scooter Miles: drinking whiskey
   [20:36] Winter (winter.illios): boris and clarice
   [20:36] Emma Jane (emmarosee): Steal Astrid's purse, she has candy.
   [20:37] Astrid (astrid.floresby): giggles, that's one way Gan, but Astrid is vegetarian and think rats are disgusting
   [20:37] Emma Jane (emmarosee): Next to the hotel near the train is a restaurant. I got my first meal there.
   [20:37] Astrid (astrid.floresby): giggles, sometimes Emma, but her fiance always has candy in his medical bag
   [20:37] Emma Jane (emmarosee): The gorge function.
   [20:38] Astrid (astrid.floresby): mmhmm, food vendor, like the tea room, borris, NPC, biting depending on race, and gorging.
   [20:38] Astrid (astrid.floresby): any questions on hunger??
   [20:38] Gan (gantheral.mason): I'm shocked that cannibalism isn't on there?
   [20:39] Astrid (astrid.floresby): biting :P
   [20:39] Emma Jane (emmarosee): Zombies...
   [20:39] Gan (gantheral.mason): oh
   [20:39] Scooter Miles: I was just thinking the same thing, we have vampires, but no rabid cannibalistic clowns?
   [20:39] Gan (gantheral.mason): yeeey clowns i hate clowns
   [20:40] Astrid (astrid.floresby): you can RP eating their flesh then use bitethem, if they are a live meal or /9gorge
   [20:40] Astrid (astrid.floresby): and chuckles... that you know scooter
   [20:41] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ok, next is melee and armor
   [20:41] Astrid (astrid.floresby): melee changes the type of weapon you are carrying. Is is small and fast? Heavy and slow?
   [20:42] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Armor is your protection of your physical self, this doesn't have to be tradition iron or leather armor
   [20:43] Astrid (astrid.floresby): it can be a heavy coat, runes on your body, etc...
   [20:43] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Remember your environment, it is reasonable youd have protection in these streets
   [20:43] Winter successfully increases their melee damage.
   [20:44] Astrid (astrid.floresby): if you click the button that says armor over the number, this will put it on for you
   [20:44] Astrid successfully armors themself.
   [20:44] Jake Stone successfully armors themself.
   [20:44] Gan successfully armors themself.
   [20:44] Scooter Miles: I will pass on that option at the current time:)
   [20:44] Astrid (astrid.floresby): hey your choice! *giggles*
   [20:45] Gan (gantheral.mason): does shield % affect armor?
   [20:45] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Your shield and anticurse are your protections against magical effects
   [20:45] Astrid (astrid.floresby): nope
   [20:46] Astrid (astrid.floresby): you get your first shields at level 15 if your not level 15 you would need to get someone to do that for you
   [20:47] Astrid performs Blue Aura on themself.
   [20:47] Gan (gantheral.mason): oh so it's not an actual shield then?
   [20:47] Astrid (astrid.floresby): no
   [20:47] Astrid (astrid.floresby): protections against magical effects - what that protection is - is up to your RP
   [20:49] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): and if i go to burn someone and they claim flameproof, a dice roll will sort the deadlock, right?
   [20:49] Winter (winter.illios): thats when you call an ST
   [20:49] Astrid (astrid.floresby): thank you winter :)
   [20:49] Gan (gantheral.mason): what does ST stand for?
   [20:49] Astrid (astrid.floresby): StoryTeller
   [20:49] Gan (gantheral.mason): ah
   [20:50] Emma Jane (emmarosee): STs are there for the dreadded Nuh-uh/Yuh-huh debate.
   [20:50] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ^_^
   [20:50] Gan (gantheral.mason): I'm used to hear GMs
   [20:50] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): sweet transvestite (from transexual translyvania)?
   [20:50] Gan (gantheral.mason): hearing i mean
   [20:50] Joshua misses in performing a supernatural assist on themselves.
   [20:50] Emma Jane (emmarosee): Not that I have actually seen that happen.
   [20:50] Astrid (astrid.floresby): snickers.. i'm all woman luci
   [20:50] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): sorry rocky horror moment
   [20:51] Emma Hammond focuses on their skill of Body language, successfully performs a physical discovery on Astrid.
   [20:51] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): emma confirned it
   [20:51] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): woman indeed
   [20:52] Astrid (astrid.floresby): power is your points for your magic and ability use
   [20:52] Astrid (astrid.floresby): you gain power by being near other players
   [20:52] Astrid (astrid.floresby): so right now... you'll notice your power is ticking up at a pretty nice rate
   [20:53] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): it discourages rp masturbation and encourages interation i guess?
   [20:54] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): but power is not exp right?
   [20:54] Astrid (astrid.floresby): mmhmm. basically
   [20:54] Astrid (astrid.floresby): no
   [20:54] Astrid (astrid.floresby): exp go up unless you get in trouble, power you use
   [20:56] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Money! There are NEVER any linden transactions on the game floor. This is a hard rule. We only use RP coin.
   [20:56] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): so, you can lose exp for getting a KO in a fight, rihght?
   [20:56] Emma Jane (emmarosee): Don't sit on the absinthe faerie.
   [20:56] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): being ko'd i mean
   [20:56] Astrid (astrid.floresby): no... in fact defeat helps your character
   [20:57] Astrid (astrid.floresby): you don't get stronger with a few losses and and you always learn more from missing ;-)
   [20:57] Gan (gantheral.mason): like playing pocket pool without the balls right?
   [20:57] Astrid (astrid.floresby) blinks..... i wouldn't know.
   [20:58] Gan (gantheral.mason): ahem sorry bad pun anyway continue
   [20:58] Astrid (astrid.floresby): :P
   [20:58] Emma Jane (emmarosee): I swear, I've seen kids with aspbergers that are more stable than Phoenix viewer.
   [20:59] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Any questions??
   [20:59] Wolf Shadow (mae.dinkin): yes
   [21:00] Wolf Shadow (mae.dinkin): where would we get the coins ya was talking about for money?
   [21:00] Emma Jane (emmarosee): The police are hiring.
   [21:01] Emma Jane (emmarosee): Seriously, jobs sometimes pay.
   [21:01] Astrid (astrid.floresby): heh... specifically I can't tell you, as it's IC.... but asking around for a job, shady deals, pickpocketing, and certain NPCs drop coins when killed
   [21:01] Gan (gantheral.mason): yeah mae thats more of an icly question isn't it?
   [21:02] Wolf Shadow (mae.dinkin): shgakes head
   [21:02] Joshua Taggart: What is the general ratio of Para-Posters/Regular Posters? Just your personal number if you have one
   [21:02] Jakob Stone (jake1224): What about thimgs found like gemstones
   [21:02] Emma Jane (emmarosee): I like to para-post.
   [21:03] Astrid (astrid.floresby): shrugs, i don't have a number. I switch between para and one line depending on the other player, how tired i am, speed of the scene
   [21:05] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): well you know i like to parapost, but i can savage you with a parabomb as easy as drop to someone elses level if thats the norm in the bar room
   [21:06] Astrid (astrid.floresby): nods... Everyone has a preference. Details are important, but it's also important to be flexible and find a balance, imho
   [21:06] Emma Jane (emmarosee): The problem I have with paraposting is buffer size is a lot different than the old days when I used to MU*. You knew everyone was basically 78 characters on their client. Here, you have no idea if you're blowing out people's buffers or if you're looking like a two line emoter.
   [21:06] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ok, if there are any other questions... ask them quick!! or... while I'm giving out EXP cookies anyway.
   [21:07] Astrid: ((Sebastian is given 1000 experience points.))
   [21:07] Scooter Miles: do meter abilities increase in power via continued use or gaining level?
   [21:07] Astrid: ((Winter is given 1000 experience points.))
   [21:08] Scooter Miles: aka, missle, does it increase in damage the more you use it or by you leveling up
   [21:08] Astrid (astrid.floresby): yes to both. :)
   [21:08] Scooter Miles: ok
   [21:08] Astrid: ((Joshua is given 1000 experience points.))
   [21:08] Gan (gantheral.mason): these classes how come both times are posted on the weekly sign?
   [21:08] Astrid: ((Emma Hammond is given 1000 experience points.))
   [21:09] Astrid (astrid.floresby): hmm?
   [21:09] Joshua Taggart: \o/ Experience, yum!!!! *nom nom nom*
   [21:09] Astrid (astrid.floresby): if you go to larps.net, the front page is the google calendar, that is always the most up to dayte
   [21:09] Astrid (astrid.floresby): date
   [21:09] Gan (gantheral.mason): ah alright
   [21:10] Astrid: ((Gan is given 1000 experience points.))
   [21:10] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): oh just one'
   [21:10] Astrid (astrid.floresby): this class is a fairly recent addition and the board hasn't been updated
   [21:10] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): guns
   [21:11] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): do they work in combat
   [21:11] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): i know they have to be fitting era and all
   [21:11] Astrid: ((Lucifrage Rofcal is given 1000 experience points.))
   [21:11] Emma Jane (emmarosee): No
   [21:11] Emma Jane (emmarosee): They're just props.
   [21:11] Emma Jane (emmarosee): I tested it extensively.
   [21:11] Astrid (astrid.floresby): mmmhmm. damage is based on dice rolls
   [21:11] Emma Jane (emmarosee): I shot that mastiff to 150% with a railgun and it didn't die..
   [21:11] Astrid: ((Bunny Rofcal is given 1000 experience points.))
   [21:11] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): so, im better just using the magic missile?
   [21:12] Emma Jane (emmarosee): You can call your magic missile pulling a pistol.
   [21:12] Emma Jane (emmarosee): But yes.
   [21:12] Astrid (astrid.floresby): you can rp using a gun. and use missle
   [21:12] Astrid (astrid.floresby): or target/physical/harm
   [21:12] Joshua Taggart: So weapons don't actually do any damage?
   [21:13] Astrid: ((Jake Stone is given 1000 experience points.))
   [21:13] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): ah, well.... i worked out how to use the missle, i just rp that its luci's djinn-flame.
   [21:13] Emma Jane (emmarosee): Yoga fire!
   [21:13] Scooter Miles: works more reliably then guns also as you need build rights in a sim to use a gun
   [21:13] Astrid (astrid.floresby): it's based on your RP and the dice rolls.
   [21:14] Astrid: ((Mae is given 1000 experience points.))
   [21:14] Astrid (astrid.floresby): did anyone not XP?
   [21:14] Astrid (astrid.floresby): *not get
   [21:14] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): *points to the pickle* him...
   [21:14] Joshua Taggart: Well, thanks for the class :)
   [21:14] Gan (gantheral.mason): ah yes the slippery one
   [21:15] Gan (gantheral.mason): and thanks for the class is right
   [21:15] Astrid giggles, "He gets it later"
   [21:15] Joshua Taggart: Definitely helps with understanding the buttons and stuff
   [21:15] Astrid (astrid.floresby): youre very welcome :)
   [21:16] Astrid (astrid.floresby): if you have any question don't hesitate to ask in OOC chat or call for an ST using /9st
   [21:16] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): oh realy?
   [21:16] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): i used to get shit for calling a gm in the last place i was at...
   [21:16] Winter (winter.illios): yes, thanks for your time and assitance Astrid
   [21:17] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): thank you indeed, very informitive class.
