Ooooh I've heard of that Grim.

 

I'll look into the stuff, Call of Cthulhu seems hard to find over the internet when I looked before.

 

'Pseudo' as in the universe will not be the Pathfinder universe, and I could potentially take some liberties with the rules. Or it's a different, but still d20-ish system.

[Grim_]

Ehh, I personally don't like d20 too much and much prefer some other alternatives; like a bell curve system (found in FATE, certain d6 games and the like), percentile dice (found in Call of Cthulhu, the 40k/Fantasy rpgs and certain others) and dicepools (to a degree, the amount of dice you can use in shadowrun seems a bit excessive to me). All I'm saying is, there's options out there other than generic d20.

School's out!

If you're running Pathfinder and not changing *too* many rules (like they could be construed as house rules instead of making an entirely new system), then that would be interesting for me.

 

I'd rather not learn an entirely new game system.

[Nexaduro]

I couldn't make an ENTIRELY new system that complicated.

[Retech]

I mean, it's like 3.5 and Pathfinder. Lots of similarities, until you run into certain little things that can trip you up. I was never that experienced at 3.5, so I didn't really notice, but I'm sure Wyvren, Grim, and Ross did.

[The_Mather1]

Oh god, my eyes are completely bloodshot. I don't think I can take many more nights like yesterday before they become just plain red.

[Retech]

Hey Nex, if you decide to do this, could you post the rules that you are changing and what level/rules we are going with? (Point buy, traits, level)?

[Earth]

Would anyone be interested if I started up another game similar to my old Overlording one?

[The_Mather1]

Yes.

[Ieyfura]

Yes.

 

Pretty much this.

[Earth]

Cool. If I get another person who wants to play i'll start planning.

[Retech]

Yeah, I'd be interested.

[Earth]

Cool. I'll start planning so it doesn't turn into a collosal screw-up like it did last time..

[a_bert]

yo icu lets have a grudge match in sc2

 

loser has to change avatar to one of opponents choice

 

i'll upload vod to youtube mb or sth

 

IF YOU REFUSE MY CHALLENGE YOU SUCK

 

rocco id do same for you but you prob have NA account

 

i'm lemonytang.459 on battlenet

[Icuownage]

I don't own SC2 :P

 

I wish I did, but my pc makes it lag a bit, and a bit of lag is very damn costly. I'll have a new PC and probably SC2 soon.

[a_bert]

a bit of lag is very damn costly? what the christ could you possibly mean

 

i guessed as much rocco sup

 

TERRAN SUPREME

[Icuownage]

Well lag means that where you click isn't where you click (it happens with me in EU 3) so you can send guys quite far away or even totally miss an opponent when try to set them to attack, also, you could misplace a building...

 

Further more with lag you're slower, and speed is very damn important in StarCraft

[a_bert]

lol ye cool i thoguht you meant monetary

 

i play on min graphics so that i can micro vs banelings properly :||

24-cell 4D shape moving through 3D space:

 

5-cell 4D shape (pentachoron, 4D tetrahedron) rotating:

 

8-cell 4D shape (tesseract, 4D cube) rotating:

[archimage_a]

The fourth dimension¹ cannot be time² because a spherical³ object with a circular⁴ timeline⁵ would just be represented as a sphere⁶ repeatedly doing nothing in the third dimension, a four-dimensional sphere however would appear as a single point, grown, shrink back to a point and disappear.

 

The third dimension¹ cannot be depth², because a circular³ object, with a depth⁵ of a line⁴ would just be represented as a circle⁶.

 

So:

1. The dimension we are disproving. Code is X

2. X

3. X-1

4. X-1

5. X

6. X-1

 

 

 

You are basically saying that, if we took a circle, added depth(Thus creating a Cylinder) we would still have a circle...only lots of them...in a line.

If you add duration to a sphere, aka, a sphere doing nothing, then the sphere would still have duration...Just alot of spheres...in a line.

 

 

Another example:

 

This is a 1 dimensional object (It is not, it is a 2d represenation of a 1 dimensionl object)

.

 

This is a 2 dimensional object (It is)

-

 

This is a 3d Object (Its not, its a 2d represenation of a 3d object, but bear with me):

 

This is a 4d Object (Its still not, its a 2d representation of a 3d object, which has duration, thus it is also a 2d representation of a 4d object):

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12603519/1.avi

 

 

As we can see in the metadata of the avi file:

 

The object has width, heigh and length(aka duration for the purposes of this discussion)

It doesn't have depth because I don't know how to create a hologram out of your screen, or measure the depth of said hologram if I could create it through an optical illusion.

 

 

 

Then consider this:

An apple is a 10 dimensional object. We can't see the 4th or higher dimensional aspect of it because we can't see how it was created, how it will be destroyed...anything like that. We can only see it RIGHT NOW. Aka, we can only see it in the 3rd dimension.

 

Now, we can argue till the cows come home, its all theory and people far more skilled than us argue over it and cannot find a convincing argument.

So enjoy writing your counter arguement. I will enjoy not reading it, and Ico will still not allow your tech to exist.

 

 

Its all rather trivial...to be honest.

The fourth dimension¹ cannot be time² because a spherical³ object with a circular⁴ timeline⁵ would just be represented as a sphere⁶ repeatedly doing nothing in the third dimension, a four-dimensional sphere however would appear as a single point, grown, shrink back to a point and disappear.

 

The third dimension¹ cannot be depth², because a circular³ object, with a depth⁵ of a line⁴ would just be represented as a circle⁶.

The third dimension¹ is depth², because a circular³ object, with a circular⁴ depth⁵ would be represented as a sphere⁶.

 

The fourth dimension¹ is a form of extrusion², because a spherical³ object, with a circular⁴ extrusion⁵ would be represented as a sphere⁶ which forms, grows, shrinks and disappears once as it moves through our location in the fourth dimension.

So Nex, are you going to make that game of yours?

[Icuownage]
