Game Master John Woodford

As the myriad potential Golarions collide, a small group of heroes is charged with setting things right. Now they must find the source of an odd little item....

It doesn't help that we had the long break, which has made this piece of the game drag on a lot longer than I'd anticipated.


Evil GM

Busy weekend and I'll be busy until this afternoon.

So, I'm thinking that I threw too much extraneous information at you, going overboard on--what's that line from The Mikado? "...corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative." The stuff about the Lumber Consortium is actually straight from Golarion-as-published, and I used it as part of the background for how the disc happened to get from Arcadia to the Blakros Museum. I was thinking that you were looking for Kreed to find out more about how she'd gotten it in Arcadia (which is an excellent idea, btw, and one I hadn't thought of until you started asking). I hadn't realized that you were wanting to do something about the blackmail plot. Anyway, I'll try to better stifle my tendency to overcomplicate things.

Actually I think the problem is more along the lines of how long our breaks from the game have been. I think were starting to forget the main plot points that we are on right now.

I'm pretty sick, I don't think I'll be posting much today.


Weakly Godlike Entity

That makes sense. I'll also try to be better with explanations & update digests.

I'm still fighting off a nasty cold. I'll get back to posting by Sunday.


Weakly Godlike Entity

No problem. We had a bunch of people over yesterday, and I spent my non-work hours Friday roasting poblanos and tomatilloes for green chile stew, among other things. Today we slept in and cleaned up.


I typically like intrigue! This character just isn't built for it.

He needs to mix it up.

It had been difficult to wrap my head around the whole enchilada! I'm usually better with enchiladas, burritos, chimichangas and the like!

Don't worry. When the excrement hits the fan I will be very happy to have somebody who can handle the combat magic. Drovic is not very scary in combat unless he can get the drop on the enemy.

For some reason I can't post in gameplay. I got a 16 on my knowledge check.


Weakly Godlike Entity

Weird. Obviously you don't have any problems posting in the Discussion thread--how about any other campaigns?


Male Elf (Dusk Elf) Knife Guy l HP 40/40 l AC 17, T 15, FF 12 l F +3, R +11, W +7 l Init +9 l Perc +12

I think it's because I just updated my iPhone and it had a weird thing about using RNGs when on power saving mode.

Wow. I'm on my laptop and I still can't post. Every other campaign is working fine for me.


Weakly Godlike Entity

That is really odd. I'd go to Website Feedback--there's definitely something going on there.


Weakly Godlike Entity

I'm going to be at a (non-gaming) con this weekend, and since the hotel charges for internet access I won't be able to post much (if at all).


Weakly Godlike Entity

Before we get much further, I see that Bradley's player hasn't been active on the boards for a month or so. Anyone else you know who might be interested?


Male Elf (Dusk Elf) Knife Guy l HP 40/40 l AC 17, T 15, FF 12 l F +3, R +11, W +7 l Init +9 l Perc +12

Finals week. Please DMPC as necessary. I will return on Wednesday night, thoroughly stressed and exhausted and probably eating a whole pizza by myself.


Weakly Godlike Entity

Good luck!


Weakly Godlike Entity

Thank you all for your patience. I've been spending far too much time traveling the past few weeks; my mom had to be moved into memory care on short notice, and I'm taking care of her finances for her. Fortunately she lives within easy driving distance. It's taken up a lot of time, though, particularly as I need to deal with her taxes along with the move. Will try to get something up.

In the meantime, any thoughts on other players?

I've always enjoyed your games DM Carbide and I know everyone has been busy over the last couple months. Life happens. Do you think we should get this game to a final resolution?


Weakly Godlike Entity

This is something that I've been thinking about as well. It's the curse of homebrew games--not necessarily the amount of time it takes to run a game, but the concentrated creative effort...and creative effort is something I've been short on of late. APs and modules make you lazy, I'm afraid; it's much easier, creatively, to change up what someone else has done than to set it up yourself from scratch. I'll get something together.

I usually just plan out major plot points, then wing it from there depending on player actions.


Weakly Godlike Entity

I'll be on vacation next week, but will likely have some time to post. We're keeping it low-key to give Loving Spouse a chance to depressurize from teaching.


Male Dwarf Nerd 15/Engineer 5

Oh darn it. GM, could you please mark this alias under the campaign description as an NPC? I accidentally posted with my default alias.


Weakly Godlike Entity

Done.


Weakly Godlike Entity

Something to keep in mind, because it probably hasn't been clear from your previous interactions with the--the Lumber Consortium is a LE organization, and their unpleasant business practices in Arcadia were why the Andoren colonists there kicked them out.


Weakly Godlike Entity

I'm going to be out at the Field Museum tomorrow, so will be only able to post late tomorrow night (if that).
