Game over man, game over!

It is done. Kahlya bought Maggie's wish.

I'll post some logs and such and announce it in the LJ. After that I'll probably shut the community down. The SAB site will likely be up a few years until I get paranoid about someone finding it and take that down too. I don't end to hide my gaming when I'm higher profile, but I don't intend for the logs to be available either.

Reminder: Final SAB session Sunday at 10:30 EDT 
  grysar
 
11:31am 14/04/2007
 
music: Randy Bachman - Taking Care of Business
Since we skipped last week and are starting a little later, I figured it would be worth a quick reminder.

This will be the final session. I'm expecting [info]kagami to be there but a bit late. Nobody else has mentioned any problems.

Whoo.

SAB finale: Sun 4/15 10:30 EDT

  Should not run more than an hour or so. [info]kagami can apparently make it around 11:00 EDT but we'll start without him to make sure we finish by a reasonable hour. This will be the final session. Whoo!

  The penultimate session is over! The final session will be in a week or two depending on Cham's schedule. I'll keep you guys posted. But now I sleep.

Loot distribution (partial) 
  grysar
 
05:03pm 30/03/2007
  Equipment distribution as discussed in the last entry:


  • Tim: Depleted Uranium Shield, see-invisibility goggles, EP potion (3), HP potion (1)

  • Kahlya: Asbestos cloak, buff potion (2), EP potion (3), returning crystal.

  • Yuri: Gun from will, ceramic body-armor, buff potion (1). HP potion (1)

  • Yvonne: Overload crystal(1), HP potion (1), buff potion (1), remedy, dispel wand.

  • Maggie: Overload crystal (1), laser sight, buff potion (1), HP potion (1), phoenix down (1), dorky metal helmet.

  • Ren: Laser sight, HP potion (1).

  • Breaker: Blood seeking gloves, natural weapon potion, buff potion.



Unclaimed list )

These aren't fixed but they seem like a reasonable starting point. Yvonne had shown interest in multiple potions, but I'm starting her with just one of each she requested until I see that nobody else is claiming them.

[Updated after discussion with Rowyn and Cham's comment.]

No Rowyn this Sunday, but we're still on

11:17pm 15/03/2007
  Unless anyone else cancels, I'm willing to run missing only one. Thanks for the advance notice Rowyn and if anyone else can't make it please let me know soon.

  • First session of Devil's Due posted.

  • How Yuri got her Will back is also posted.

  • End plots for Ren and Kahlya are also up there, but they've been up for a while.

SAB: Next week, not this one 
  grysar
 
01:26pm 02/03/2007
  I forgot that this coming week involves [info]lilinthra game at his place. I've never managed to successfully pull of SAB and that game on the same Sunday, so I'm not going to try this week.

Delay until next week. If someone could change the topic in #besm and let me know they did it via a comment, I'd be much obliged.

See you all in hell [Final mission survey] 
  grysar
 
02:37pm 25/02/2007
 
mood: pleased
Yuri is now powered up, so all missions/minis/socials/whatnot pre-hell raid are done. So, all that remains is the final mission.

I'm thinking it will be 3-5 sessions. We can probably start in a week or two.

So, here's the timing survey. Please note that this is a multi-week commitment, although we may not end up running every week. Given party size, I'm going to say that dimensional instability means that a character may disappear for a session if the player is absent. To avoid this problem, give advanced notice or give one of the other players a copy of your character sheet and basic guidance.

The IC incentives are $1 mil a PC. In addition, the character that kills Kristof gets the hell-lord powers (at least until ties with this dimension are severed). You'll get a nice stat boost (+2 to everything which also boosts derived values) for the fighting your way back out portion. In addition, you can get one wish granted, although it can be more powerful if it's one that you don't mind being granted by evil means. For any questions about that sort of thing, talk to me.

End of SAB minis. 
  grysar
 
07:37pm 17/12/2006
  Ren's plot line just wrapped up, and since I haven't heard any requests for other minis, I'm going to call that done!

Remaining:
Yuri's ceremony (1 session)
Finale (3 session's content)

IC rewards for participating in the finale:
  • 1 million pounds

  • Any demon-granted wishes you want if you're the one who kills Kristof. If there's a specific perk in mind, talk to me about it before hand.



(Obviously the game is ending immediately after the finale, so the value of these perks is largely just for establishing what your characters post-game status is.)

I'll be posting a schedule survey some time soon. Because of holiday busy-ness we're on hiatus until sometime after January third.

Off this week

10:09pm 22/11/2006
  I'm in New Orleans. Whoo! Jex drop a comment about when you can do Ren stuff. By default I'll go with the week after next, assuming I have net by then.

Wrap up stuff, Sunday 8 p.m. eastern 
  grysar
 
01:04am 05/11/2006
  I'd like to finish up the tourney stuff and run any other minis this Sunday. I'm hoping to have everything done and the proceed to Yuri's ascension ceremony in the next week or so. After that, I'll schedule the finale sessions.

Whoo, ending!

Please let me know if you're relevant but can't be here this Sunday.

Last tournament fight tonight (Tues) 9:30 eastern 
  grysar
 
07:59am 31/10/2006
  This is the final fight and will result in Bookie's transfer. So more reason to attend this one than the usual fights, but not mandatory by any means. See people tonight

All normal SAB missions are done! 
  grysar
 
10:01pm 17/10/2006
  With the telekinetic follow-up mission resolved, that ends all conventional SAB missions. Next up is the final tournament fight which will be Yvonne vs. Bookie (in a mech). After that, all that remains is the final mission. Whoo!

One bit of information for the final mission. Whoever kill shots the Hell Lord Kristof wins nominal control of the realm. So, goody-goodies can fairly quickly consolidate that victory assuming no-one takes it from them. Those more self-interested probably can get a wish in before the realm is permanently banished (or try to prevent said banishment). Not surprisingly, said wish would be implemented by demons and dark magic so the means may not be pretty. Similarly, characters are advised not to order "make me a sandwich."

Unless major problems arise, the final tourney fight will be the week of the 29th. If you want to wrap up any character stuff (aside from Yuri's powering-up before the final mission) this is your chance. I'd prefer to resolve loose ends by then. There are a couple of minis that may arise from the final fight (particularly involving Yvonne for obvious reasons). But everything else should be done by the 29th.

Anyone still in the game, please fill out the poll behind the cut.

Switch to evites for game reminders 
  grysar
 
04:52pm 23/07/2006
  So, SAB's been running pretty haphazardly for a couple of months now. To get more regularity, I'm going to start using evites to handle scheduling.

This week, I'll if enough PCs for any given mission are around, I'll run.

In the future, people can confirm their availability by the recurring evite. If I get all the characters I need for a plot confirmed for a given week, I'll run. If someone says no or doesn't reply fairly late into it, we'll be off that week.

I'll probably still have to do some in person wrangling, but I think this should help.

[Addendum: Most people were unfamilar with evite, so I'm just going with google calendar. People are presumably also unfamilar with that, but I figure everyone knows the company.]

Out of town this coming week 
  grysar
 
10:25pm 07/06/2006
  I'll be out of town from Friday June 9th through Saturday June 17th. Given my recent string of luck with SAB, I'm not going to plan anything in advance for Sunday the 18th. If I'm in a position to run, I'll see who I can round up.
