I am copying this to all my games.

Sorry for late notice, but I am headed down the road to vacation for a week. Connectivity and availability may be an issue, so please bot for me rather than waiting too long. I will peek in if I can and normal posting is expected to resume in nine days.

I don't say this enough to the people in RL, let alone to my virtual friends, but I appreciate you and this game we share. Peace.

I’m going to be pretty busy for the rest of the week, posting may be limited.

I just wanted to apologize to all my games, especially the ones I'm running. I have been going through a bit of posting malaise, and don't want to burn out, or even worse quit. As such, I've just been trying to build up to posting. Just wanted to let you all know, I'm not gone, not leaving, just less than motivated at the moment. So, please bear with me. For my games, I expect to have a post up today.

I guess that would put you in more of a melee mode and I can step into the starring role in the missing with ranged fire category.

Don't get too excited there. Hannik can miss with the best of them. I also hadn't anticipated spending so many rounds at 3rd level casting 0 level spells :D


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

I beg to disagree. We haven't seen Hannik take many ranged shots. In Sol we have a character with a proven track record of missing.

Grey Garrison Hoard.

That's a conscise list of the treasure from that encounter. Let's distribute it.....

That note mentiones a few names. I'm trying to cross check back to ther other notes on the wiki, and cross link people so we don't forget stuff...

If there's stuff I anyone remembers that isn't on there, let me know here and I'll add it, or failing that I'll give you an account and you can add it yourself. I seem to remember Ithers is great at this :D

I'm terribly sorry. The malaise is a mix of my ability to post at work being more limited than before, and sharing a single computer at home. When I get the chance to post, all the updates I need to make begin to feel daunting. I truly intend to return to my previous level of posting.

You take your time. Our lives change and posting sometimes becomes both more difficult and maybe less important or motivating than it was before, and it can become more of a chore that a pleasure. If you have other stresses or demands on your time, it can be difficult to work up the inspiration that used to come easily before. I've been there and I know how you feel.

If it helps, you can try this. First off, don't feel guilty - that can just stress you out about the situation and make it harder to clear you mind and focus on what you actually want to post. Don't be hard on yourself when there are probably more important things to do, like remain employed and so on. Second, remember that you are always welcome in my games, and I'm sure everyone else's. We all have rough patches.

Third, don't look at all the games in which you need to post as a single entity which you need to address in a single sitting - break it down game by game, do some one day, others another, and so on. If it means you end up posting on a game every few days or so it's better than not posting at all due to inspirational paralysis. I haven't returned to my previous levels of posting and I suspect I won't, but while the games are progressing slower it doesn't really seem to be a problem. Plus, other players have their own issues and can't post so much anymore either. It's simply life evolving (I mean, I was a single man when the Eberron game started, I had my tenth anniversary this year and my son is now seven). Fourth (at least for the games you run) maybe just sit down when you have a quiet moment and plan things out - that's quite good fun, and I find inspiration comes more easily if you have a framework to hang it on. And it makes me enjoy the game a bit more without feeling under pressure and remember why I like playing it in the first place.

And fifth, consider whether there are some games you might want to consider leaving (hopefully none of mine, but that's your decision and one I would totally respect) so you can focus on the ones you really like the best. For example, I ended the Dark Sun game as I didn't feel the attachment to it that I did to the others.

So chill. You need to find an accommodation posting and with the way life is right now. You'll get there if you have the desire. After a rocky patch I'm renewed in my enthusiasm for the games, but it required me to appreciate that things change and I don't have the freedom I used to. And it took a bit of work, gradually working my way back in rather than feeling I had to fix it in one go. I hope you work it out and feel better about it soon.

Ditto everything Aubrey said ...

For what it's worth I'm in a similar boat at the moment Aardvark, though hopefully it is fairly temporary in my case. Work has just been slamming me for the past few months, which has severely limited my time I can post from the office, and I've got issues with my home computer (which I haven't got around to dealing with yet) which restricts posting from home. I can certainly relate to that causing a bit of posting aversion and seeing the unread posts rack up can add to that. We've all been in similar situations, we understand.

This site is an absolute f+@%ing joke right now. I'm not sure if it is actually going to permit me to post this, but my other two posts show in the list of recent posts but not on the relevant threads themselves. I don't honestly know how anyone can consider Paizo a great commercial force when they can't even update their own website without massively cocking it up. Have they not heard of testing things before they release to the live environment? Totally amateurish. I've been trying to post for days and the website hasn't even been there, and now it's up I'm not sure if what I post will actually show. Pathetic. Hopefully they will get their act together. And sack Teter.

EDIT: Ok, that seemed to work. My other posts eventually ended up on the threads as well. OK, I'll try a bit of updating.

Aside from having to log in every time I visit the site, Paizo hasn't been so bad for me lately. I do agree that this software implementation has had more than the usual share of bugs.

Poaching Nevyn's Grey Garrison loot list, and updating....

Dead monsters:
+1 Adamantine Mace: Jod expressed interest. Retcon, Sol never tried to ID the mace. 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 OK, it's +1.

Leather Armour: +1 leather armour
Ring: Ring of protection +1 - Claimed by Kaygan
Potion 1, DC 16: Spider Climb (CL1)
Potion 2, DC 18: Still unknown. A successful aid another check by Hannik would give it to us.
Potion 3, DC 18: Invisibilty
Potion 4, DC 18: Barkskin

a fine-looking longsword, the blade chased with silver. Tucked into the case underneath it is a note on a piece of parchment. The sword detects as magical, DC 23 to identify: +1 evil outsider bane longsword Claimed by Kira.

In the secret cubby
three cold iron longswords
two cold iron shortswords
two heavy crossbows
a composite longbow (+2 Str) Jod expressed interest.
a masterwork cold iron heavy mace Jod expressed interest.
two cold iron longspears
50 cold iron crossbow bolts
100 cold iron arrows
a magic longsword (Spellcraft DC 18 to identify) SOl iD'd this as +1
five magic arrows (Spellcraft DC 22 to identify) five +1 holy arrows
a single magic arrow of a different type (Spellcraft DC 28 to identify, Strong Necromancy aura) Sol aided Kira to find "an arrow of evil outsider slaying"
two sets of masterwork chainmail
a magical breastplate emblazoned with Iomedae’s holy symbol (Spellcraft DC 18 to identify) +1 breastplate
one masterwork heavy steel shield
one magical heavy steel shield emblazoned with Iomedae’s holy symbol (Spellcraft DC 22 to identify) Kaygan ID'd it as +1 blinding heavy shield

In short lots of unclaimed loot.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Sol could give Kaygan his cold iron dagger and take a cold iron long sword for himself.

Booam is using a masterwork cold iron great ax. And has A masterwork chain shirt. We could upgrade him to full MW chain mail.

More suggestions in a few hours....

Mulluq wouldn't balk at the +1 Blinding Heavy Shield, but as he has Radiance, I don't want to take it if someone else wants to use it.

He could also use the +1 Breastplate, under the same conditions as the shield, but all that would do is reduce his ACP and carry weight. Besides, when he has the coin he will be aiming for +1 Full plate anyways.

Overall, the two items emblazoned as Iomedaen unless someone else wants/can use them.

Sad irony is the purpose of the update was pretty wide-ranging (I gather) and intending to squash bugs that have lived in the code for years. I understand why testing such a massive site is problematic, but I don't know the details that would prevent rolling the changes back.

I do think the people feeling the pain the most were those that access the site during Paizo's non-business hours. It was inconvenient, but not as terrible, here.

Jod obviously doesn't need both maces. Given a choice, the masterwork cold iron weapon will likely pay off better. He's hoping for a cold iron falchion.

He would really like the bow.

Jod doesn't do shields. I was thinking that medium armor (the other suit of chainmail) would impact some of his class abilities, but I don't see any indication of that in a quick look. It would increase his AC by 2 and the ACP by 3.

He's trying to be front and center, so his current AC of 16 is more than a little weak. Is the AC improvement worth the ACP cost?

---------------------------

Rhok's not around to make any claims - anyone see anything that would make sense for the oracle to take?


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Rhok's got a +1 mace already, but would cold iron be better against demons?

Getting Mulluq's ACP and weight carried down are ok goals.

The barkskin potion might be best in Kaygan's or Hannik's hands. Maybe distribute the other potions among Hannik, SOl, and Kaygan?

Wendaug's our best archer. Maybe she should get the bane arrow and a few cold iron arrows to refill her quiver.

Split the +1 holy arrows -- 2 to Wendaug, 2 to Sol, 1 to Jod?

Sol could use a couple cold iron arrows to refill his quiver.

Don't bother giving Rhok stuff - he'll have to be replaced eventually (probably after this particular building is cleared).

Poaching threalthoms's poaching of Nevyn's Grey Garrison loot list, and updating....

Additional thoughts:

Wendaug has a club for her rare times in melee. If no one wants the adamantine mace, let's have her at least carry it. And a cold iron weapon, maybe a longspear, so she has a better demon-slaying option.

Booam is not inclined to go ranged, but sometimes that's the only option. He could carry a heavy crossbow and a load of cold iron bolts for those times when he can't reach a flyer.


HP 34/34 | Init +2 | AC 16 T 12 FF 14 | CMD 15 | F +3 R +3 W +4 | Per +1 | MP: 7/7

Spellcraft for Potion 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Nothing specifically call out Hannik or Ghroth there. Maybe the potion of spider climb because Ghroth creeping up walls like a bug sounds about right and some of the cold iron bolts for Hannik.

Yeah, the site has sure been frustrating lately. At least the last couple of days it hasn’t been down when I’ve had a brief moment to log on, but having to sign in again every time (including just now) is a hassle, especially when I often only have a few minutes here and there throughout the day at work to check (that extra 30 seconds to a minute needed to log on is sometimes the difference between me doing so or not bothering).

I'm happy with the treasure distribution as proposed. Not much there for arcane casters - if there is anything that Kaygan has claimed which would be more useful for Hannik I'm happy to wait until we have some better wizardy loot before claiming anything.
