Best of luck, everyone. This game has always been a fantastic testament to what a Play-By-Post can be if everyone just sticks with it, and the stories it gave way to inspired my own games and own stories. I'll have to catch up on it sometime, and maybe reread it. In one game I ran, I had four half-orc mercenaries named after the ABCD siblings. I'm currently implementing the "pulpy reimagining of the story-so-far" gag in an Eberron game of my own. The characters and stories of this PbP are honestly just fantastic and represent a pretty good chunk of what D&D is <i>for</i>, and I really appreciated the chance to watch it develop.</p>

This game has probably been the most significant in my life - certainly it was the longest (though my real-life 4e campaign from lvls 1 to 30 was pretty long too, about five years - wow, were we burned out by the end) and I've been extremely privileged to have such a great crew of players. In many ways I just set the scene and let you guys do your thing. I read back through the games from time to time and find them really enjoyable, and memories come back which had otherwise fled. So I salute you all. And hopefully it's not 'goodbye' but 'au revoir'.</p>Thanks guys (and really nice to see Ithers, Fatey and Heathy - it feels a bit like a school reunion!).

<p>I may not have been in the game long but I was reading along for a long while before an opening appeared. It was that same scene in the foundry that made me start dreaming of making a character to fight the quori. When you finally defeat the big bad but it just sheds the human shell and disappears into the ether. Aubrey, through the campaign you always had unique and dynamic combats from the infamous warforged dive bomb to the zombie dragon on the airship. Thank you all for creating a wonderful story even for the spectators. </p>
<p>Ps. Aubrey, if you ever feel like continuing the tale, I'll forget what I read in the synopsis to keep going because that sounds like an epic adventure.</p>Omg, I feel like I'm the little guy in ther presence of titans. Heathy, Ithers, and Fatespinner checked in!

<p>I am going to have to dig through at some point and see what all developed after Runzyl's departure... his storyline was one of the things that kept me coming back here even after my interest in the rest of the content here waned.

<p>Aubrey, you remember way way back when there was no dice roller so we all rolled at home and the maps were verbal descriptions that we all mapped out separately at home on our graph paper? That seems crazy now. Back in Athens, in our apartment I have an entire notebook/pad of graph paper filled from front to back with all of the maps from early years of this game. I came across it when moving and really enjoyed flipping back through all those memories of scenes some of which stretch over two pages.</p>
<p>Out of all the crazy scenes over these years the one that I wander back to when reminiscing is that fight with Karile in the foundry with the catwalks, conveyor belt, magma pool, endless warforged and eventually a warforged titan. I think it was the fact that that fight was fully three dimensional in a way I had never encountered in a game with very unconventional terrain. The tension level was sky high, there were A LOT of warforged, I wasn't entirely sure if Ezreal was going to survive the buzzsaw machinery on that conveyor belt or have it drop him in the lava... and then the titan appeared! And then there was (I think) our first long term recurring villain in Karile. The game had already been amazing, but that scene took it to a new level for me.</p>
<p>Cheers Aubrey. It was amazing and we had a lot of good times here over the years.</p>Anyone feel like reminiscing a little before this thread tapers out?

<p>Of all the games I have had die, yours would have been the last i expected. However, I can't blame you.

You will have noted that I am really struggling to post in these games at the moment. I'm not suffering some sort of existetial crisis, I just don't seem to have the time. I used to post a lot at work but that has become quite unconducive these days, and at home I can't just disappear into my garrett and post when I come home in the evening as I have family responsibilities, plus I'm tired. It's not fair on you guys to keep you hanging around, and it's not good for the game either as enthusiasm wanes and we find other stuff to do.</p>
<p>So I am afraid I'm calling time on my games here at Paizo. I just can't run them anymore. This is a painful decision because I have a group of really outstanding players with whom I have shared the strange thoughts that lurking my mind (and not been run out of town for it... again) and who have also contributed mightily to the games, shaping them in ways I never considered, surprising me and making them much the better for it. It's tough because some of us have invested years. But I guess life moves on.</p>
<p>So I thank you all, players past and present. It's been a real blast.</p>I have come to a reluctant decision. You will have noted that I am really struggling to post in these games at the moment.
