Only been 2 days, by the time you get back from the next lot of exploration he'll have some in. :)
Cool, no worries. :)
Sorry folks, I've gotten ill over the weekend which is holding up posting. I'll try and do something tomorrow.
I have a few questions. I hope you can answer them.
1. Where is Eliza? Is she coming back? I understand that she was very ill, and it's totally okay if she isn't able to play, but if that's true I'd like her to be replaced. If she is able to play, I'd like some kind of realistic expectation of when.
2. GM - are you going to be able to keep up a decent pace, going forward? From the very get-go, your own activity has been spotty, with long periods of absence. That would be fine if that's what the game was advertised as, but that's not the case. I'd like you to be transparent about how often you feel you can realistically post.
3. Other players - where are you at with this game? I feel myself losing connection to Serena, and spending 23 real-life days rooting out a single random spider isn't helping.
Some games have different pace from others. Real life tends to have snags, and not always allow an opportunity to post. I've been in games on here that are going on 6+ years and had notable lulls at times. It happens.
That being said, Kingmaker is inherently slow to begin with, so the current pace would be lucky to make it to level five in under a year or two from now.
I mean... I don't mind the post rate, I guess. I just want it to be transparent. That would change the nature of the game in a positive way.
And honestly, if we're going to be going this slow, I don't want to do hexploration. Hexploration is boring in F2F, but in 1/week PBP? We'll never be done.
1. Inara will, unfortunately, not be able to return to the game. I will decide what I want to do about getting another player in.
2. Unfortunately these last months have been much busier than I'd ever expected. If I'd know how illness and other things were going to get in the way I probably would have held off starting this game. As it is I should be able to do 3 posts/week, maybe more if things work out well.
As for Hexploration - I agree, its dull. I can simply run you through some narrative exploration and simply focus on the larger encounters? Once the kingdom side of things gets bigger then hiring people to do most of the mapping for you becomes a possibility too. Any other ideas let me know.
I'm happy to play what is fun for you to GM, GM. I do think doing the exploration bits a bit more narratively might be more enjoyable for you and us though, especially since we kind of tore up that spider pretty quickly, in terms of rounds of action.
Sorry about Inara's departure. :/
Ditto, regarding Inara.
I look forward to a resolution regarding the game moving forward.
Sorry to hear about Inara as well
Serana has just let me know that she will no longer be playing in this game.
Do you two want to try and recruit another players or shall we call it quits? I may well run something similar in future and if I do, I'd be happy to keep the two of you in mind at the beginning. :)
Hey,
after some further consideration I've decided to wind this game up. We lost too much momentum at the start and now I've been able to post more the game is already on life support so I think it's better to put it out of its misery.
However I have just opened recruitment for a changeling themed Hell's Vengeance game. If you'd like to resubmit Olyenna and Evelynda, or any new characters I'd love to see you over there!
Thanks for your time, hope to game with you again soon!
Well, that's disappointing. Good luck on your future endeavors!
Yeah, that sucks. What bit we actually had was fun.
What are the odds that the Hell's Vengeance game will have a better rate of progress than this game did?
