WHO:

10pointsforme
WHERE: Deceptibase
WHEN: Sometime after Blitzwing's 'how do you heal bones faster' post.
WARNINGS: None!
SUMMARY: Blitzwing was complaining that Shockwave's broken arm was taking too long to fix. After all, THERE IS A TWO PLAYER PART TO VIDEO GAMES AND NOT-SHOCK BEING UNABLE TO PLAY IS UNACCEPTABLE. So as a friend of Kiryu, Bakura has offered to heal Shockwave's arm!
FORMAT: Quicklog.

[Hn. He had returned to the apartment to meet with that healer child. Blitzwing's post to the network had been entirely unnecessary, but the Triple changer did have one valid point. He was less productive with a bone fracture in his arm. While the main reason of the post had been so he could play video games sooner, healing his arm would be quite beneficial overall. He would deal with the after effect of having to actually play video games later. For now, he sat in the kitchen sipping some tea - always with the tea - as he waited.]

[Doesn't sound nearly violent enough for Blitzwing's tastes.]

So there's no rolling tables at dragons?

[Dips another strawberry in peanut butter. Mmmmm.]

It sounds interesting enou--

[Pauses to stare at Blitzwing.]

...What

...

Why would anyone want to roll tables at dragons?

[[... that was a new one. Bakura blinked at Blitzwing as well]] Aa... the only thing you roll is the dice to see how well your attack or spell worked...

I don't know. Maybe it's exciting?

[Eating yet another strawberry.]

So the part about rolling and tables is just ... the dice on the table, right?

Such an action... would most likely be incredibly stupid.

[Not to mention illogical.]

So certain aspects of the game are dependent on luck... How much strategy is involved?

Aah, it's role playing as in playing a role or a part! [[explaines with a small laugh]] And it's played on top of a table.

Aah, it's all about strategy! Even if you get all good rolls, if you're just blundering ahead without a plan, you won't get anywhere! Even building characters involves a lot of strategy, since you're choosing what bonuses and skills you'll have to work with in the rest of the game!

Oh. Well that makes more sense than rolling tables.

[What's that? Strategy? He immediately perks up, paying very close attention.]

Hmm, perhaps we could play sometime then. If you would not mind, of course.

[He did... enjoy playing a good strategy game every now and then.]

I wouldn't mind at all! [[His voice is nearly gleeful]] I've gotten the maps finished for it, and the campaign is mostly worked out, I just need to finish making the figures and we can play whenever you'd like!

Sounds like fun.

[He does love his strategy. ~~Even if it's not usually~~ his.]

Ah, you will have to let us know when you finish them, then.

[[OoC: Just say the word "Game" and Baku is there :D]]

I will! It shouldn't take more than a week to finish the basic set, even with work, and I can finish up the player figures when everyone's building their characters!

[Just grins at this and eats another strawberry. Hopefully the strategy will make up for the lack of violence. Or it'll be more violent that it sounds. Hopefully.]

Wonderful.

[He pours a cup of tea, offering it to Bakura.]

What does building a character entail?

Aah, thank you! [[smiles happily as he accepts]]

You pick a character class and race, each which has it's own set of strengths and weaknesses and skill sets, then roll dice to determine your base attributes, like attack and defense. Then you look through the list of possible skills for your character class and choose which ones you want to put your points into.

[[takes a small sip of tea, giving a big smile]] Aah, this is good, thank you!

had a good idea the other day

I need to stop falling asleep mid-tag. >.<

You need to get more sleep D|

That would be...epic :D

/must learn how to actually play now

this could somehow tie into shocky and bakura playing video games?

Baku uses Monster World rules. I haven't played D&D in AAAGES. :) And sure thing. :)

Blitz would love more people to play video games with \o/
