DDO Cocktail Hour Episode 60, Merry Festivult!
The Gamer’s Prayer… By Sargoreth
Our Father who art uberl33t,
Pwnage be thy name,
Your level cap come,
Your roll be won,
On Eberron as it is on the Celestial Plane,
Give us this raid our epic lewt,
And forgive us our epic failz,
As we forgive noobs who fail in our PUGs.
And lead us not into griefing,
But deliver us from wiping.
Amen
BEST VOICEMAIL EVER…..

DDO Cocktail Hour Episode 58, Old School vs New School
Warning: There is a special guest on today’s show who may or not exact an inhuman amount of hilarity! Hint: We are at our quota for dwarves now!
Welcome to the DDO Cocktail Hour where we discuss the social aspects of Dungeons and Dragons Online, Eberron Unlimited. This week we are joined by CTH’s own Adan Maskery as well as the head of the CTH art department, Clankenbeard! We needed their help to dig into tabletop gaming! There is also quite a deep explanation of what completionist is, as well as the further planning of Samius Gurobo’s “End of The World Comprehensive Power Point Presentation!” Listen to find out why Samius wants to order alligator meat online and learn the life skill of making moonshine! Thanks so much for listening! (I swear I am NOT the crazy one!)

Intro: Pregame
How much does alligator cost online anyway?
Captain America! (Go see it, if you haven’t already! It’s GREAT!)
Completionist, How much XP does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? What is completionist anyway? (Life 7!)
Lessah is being interviewed this week for the DDO Cast! (We are #9 on Cyberears!)
Adan Maskery’s Alcoholic Apothecary
D&D talk! Warning: This discussion is looooooong!
Adan’s Points MMO vs. PnP Dungeons and Dragons
(Information from the DDO Wiki, and submitted by the members of Guild ROTT, Thelanis)
- Dark vision and Low-Light Vision have no place in DDO, so the advantage of dwarves and elves does not transfer over from PnP. Also, the disadvantage of slower movement rates for dwarves and Halflings do not exist, hence removing a racial penalty.
- When planning your character, it becomes difficult to wrap your mind around the easy way to renew your HP, SP, and change your spells by using rest shrines. In PnP you have to conserve your resources because you only get spells back, and change them, after 8 hours of rest the next day, and you get your level in HP back each night.
- There is an increased spell power that is in correlation with the increased number of monsters you face, and they are on a SP system. When you play PnP you have limited spell slots that you must use wisely.
- When you die in DDO, and not doing PD, it is a negligible penalty of a level loss that comes back eventually. In PnP you lose a level or 2 points of Constitution. And the higher level spells are significantly expensive.
- The rate of advancement is significantly lower. According to the DDOWiki, in PnP you advance a level after every 13-14 encounters, in DDO you will probably have way more than that many per quest, and each quest might only give you about 5-15% of the experience necessary to advance a level.
- In DDO, except for PVP, your area effect spells do not damage your allies. While there is a way to do so in PnP, it takes precious feats to get the same effect.
- In PnP you have the ability to manipulate anything in your environment to help you. In DDO it is not a technology that exists yet. We have all had that event when we wish we could just throw up a grappling hook and climb a wall.
- In DDO when you charm a monster it is unable to be affected by you until the effect is dismissed, dispelled, or wears off. In PnP when you are ready to dispatch the evil monster you just do so.

Guild Drama
1.) Obligations of Leadership (When your game becomes your job..)
- Enforcing Guild Rules/ Rules Lawyers/ mediating fights between guild members, guildies refusing to group with one another over personality issues.
2.) Baby mama Drama (It happens)
When Guilds implode due to in game flirting translating into real life affairs between members.
3.) The Drama Llama
When in-game/ in-guild arguments spill onto your Guild forums... or WORSE... the GAME Forums. Mortification and flame wars and hurt feelings ensue!

Quotes (thanks to Zaught)
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the
silence of our friends.

Guilds increase the potential for fun, but also increase how much
drama may affect your game - because you actually may care about the
other person's opinion.

DDO Cocktail Hour Episode 53, Guild Drama Part 1/3
Warning: This show may contain slightly offensive content (not language, but the honesty is kinda intense). Take it with a grain of salt!
Welcome to the DDO Cocktail Hour where we discuss the social aspects of Dungeons and Dragons Online, Eberron Unlimited. You don’t get any more social than being in a guild (or several guilds in Lessah’s case). Between our hosts, they have pretty much seen it all or heard it all, or done it all in the way of guild drama. So listen in as they dig deep into the heart of the culture climate that is guild socialization! Thanks so much for listening!
