Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone. :)

Nothing like pretending to sail into tropical waters to get your mind off of the snow in real life. I think I've about reached my limit for the year, thank you!


Well Sunny, in the ages before the dinosaurs roamed the earth, I had a toy submarine I liked to play around in the bathtub with.
(It was the 'Seaview', from the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea show.)
It had moveable fins, snorkels, and two torpedo tubes that could fire spring loaded plastic torpedoes.
And it had wheels on the underside.
I have no idea why really, I didn't question it then.
But... If putting wheels on the Throaty Mermaid is what it takes to move forward, well I think this crew are the ones to get it done.

Just don't forget the brakes.
The Seaview didn't have brakes, and look what happened to them...;)

Ah... the toys of youth. :)

I remember watching the show on telly here. Good 60's fun. :)

Thanks Sunny! You too.

Putting wheels on a ship sounds like what would happen if one rolled a -5 on their Craft(shipbuilding) check. Like, an Int 6 orc who doesn't understand that ships need sails, not wheels, to move over the water...

Or a 25. Could be awesome too...

Could go either way!

I dunno, you put wheels on the ship, hit the shore with a real good tail wind. Fix the keel so it can be pulled up inside as the wheels start to make contact with a surface.

That'd be quite an entrance.


Indeed, the opposite of Captain Sparrow. :D

Wiff all'a this crazy talkin' 'bout wheels on things whut dun't be havin' 'em.....

I've a mind ta' be checkin' on'a rum. Make sure t'is properly stowed an' what not. Y'know, so is all safe enough fer our travels ahead, like.

Yeah definitely, Thurden. I could imagine it going either way though, really bad (i.e. very leaky!) or really awesome (i.e. as you put it). My point is, wheels on a ship is not a mediocre craft check, lol.

Reijo and Sunny are totally like-minded in that way at least. Safeguard the rum, most definitely! I imagine Sunny's a happy drunk though, while Reijo's... not. Lol.


Island Elf 'Pugalist':1/"Almost Monk":1 |Perc:+7|HP:18/18|AC:14|T:15|FF:10|Fort:+1|Ref:+5|Will:+4|Init:+4

Wheels on a ship? I can see it now....


And here I was thinking more along the lines of the 'Inspired' Professor Pat Pending... (^_^)

Hey guys -- I've been offline and away from all my games for a bit more than a month. I don't know if anybody really noticed here.... However, for several months before that, this game seemed to be in the doldrums. In any event, I'm finding that I don't have the stamina for PbP games that I thought I did, and I need to cut back on the number of games I'm in. So, I would like to officially withdraw from this game, if my absence hasn't already withdrawn me from it.


Island Elf 'Pugalist':1/"Almost Monk":1 |Perc:+7|HP:18/18|AC:14|T:15|FF:10|Fort:+1|Ref:+5|Will:+4|Init:+4

*Hugz*

Sorry I am ta' be seein' ya fall a'hind Nhati.

Wishin' ye an yours (An' every body) all'a very bestest!

Um... does any one ne knowin' how our DM be farin' a-tall?

Totally understand Nhati. Really sorry to see you go though. It's been a pleasure.

As for our GM, judging by his once-a-month posting rate history thus far, I guess check back in early February? Lol.

Seriously though, I do hope he and his computer are well. And I also hope it picks up! I do prefer a slower pace than the usual, but more like a few times per week is more my speed. Once a month is a bit (well, more than a bit) too infrequent. At this rate, we'll finish our dinner next year. :/


Island Elf 'Pugalist':1/"Almost Monk":1 |Perc:+7|HP:18/18|AC:14|T:15|FF:10|Fort:+1|Ref:+5|Will:+4|Init:+4

Well... as long as tha' rum dun't run low... Who cares how long it'll be takin' fer havin' our vittles? (^_^)

Sorry to see you go Nhati, Good luck out there! It was good playing with you while we did.

Updates in this game are like little unexpected presents. I'm like 'ooooh, what's happening here?'

Sorry, didn't mean to sound grumpy. Maybe Reijo's rubbing off on me, lol.

I would really like to see the pace pick up though, at some point. Here's to hoping.

We could. At the moment, we're kinda in the middle of conversing with the captain and the crew, though.

I sadly do not have the time to do this, but I've considered asking Camris if he'd like me to assist GMing this game. I'd love to do it, but I don't want to commit to something I really lack the time to fulfill at present.

If free time manages to somehow miraculously fall on my lap, though...


Well... I was being more 'Jokey' than serious. (^_~)

Wishing every one all the very best! (^_^)

Whut? I is bein' called Sunny.

*Sigh*

I dun't know why I got'a keep a'splainin' ta' ye all'a time.

:)


I do try and keep 'In character' though I've also been told that Sunny can be a tad too much for people to bear so adding normal posts to actually conveigh meainings helps as a sort of 'Translator' for the lass. :)

Though, some times, it's a post to just keep things moving a long. :)


Island Elf 'Pugalist':1/"Almost Monk":1 |Perc:+7|HP:18/18|AC:14|T:15|FF:10|Fort:+1|Ref:+5|Will:+4|Init:+4

Nah she's not too much at all. It's actually pleasant to find a character like Sunny for a change. Unlike, ahem, someone else's character... :o

I'm not sure, but it sounds like something Reijo wouldn't mind doing with Sunny. And not so much with Thurden...

;P

I'm totally joking btw. It's hard to tell in text, so I figured I'd clarify. Though I do have a dirty mind, I'm entirely going for the laughs, not trying to be creepy or anything. :)


Yeah, is all good. Yes, I do totally mess with Sunny's dialogue with the deliberate intent of maximum comedic value. :3

Due to a pending medical procedure, I'll likely be offline Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm hoping to be back by Thursday afternoon.

(Just in case the monthly GM posting spree comes down in the next two days. I'm still lurking in the shadows like a good burglar.) :)

Okay! And BACK!

So, long story short?

Home computer faw down, go boom. (Is jus' pinin'. Y'know? Pinin' fer tha' fjords...)

Well, it's been nearly two months now since Camris's last post. I don't know what's going on, but at this point, I'm not so sure he's going to return.

I bring this up because the game might be automatically going into inactive status soon. Not sure if it's 60 or 90 days, but after this period of time without any Gameplay posts, the game disappears from our Current Campaigns and goes into the Previous Campaigns section of our profiles.

What do you guys want to do?

Well, I don't have the stuff to run either the lead-in or Skull and Shackles. We MAY be able to find a GM, but no guarantees and we've already lost about half our crew to board attrition. I don't WANT to end the game, but it's not looking promising.


Island Elf 'Pugalist':1/"Almost Monk":1 |Perc:+7|HP:18/18|AC:14|T:15|FF:10|Fort:+1|Ref:+5|Will:+4|Init:+4

;_;

Does people think we might be able ta' find ourselfs a new DM?

Sorry for also not being able to actually run the game. While I have lots of stuff for added detail and also have the adventure path (Plus starter module) Real Life prevents me from throwing a hat into the ring. :(
