GM? We're waiting on you.
Are we back? It looks like the boards are finally stable. I know that notifications have been failing for people, I'll start sending PMs if I don't see folks trickling back in.
Pretty sure we've just been waiting.

Well let's see if we can't get this thing going again at last.
Hey so I was hit in the head with a rock at work. I'm ok but I'm supposed to limit my screen time until we know I'm not super concussed, which could take a while. Bot me if you need to.
What do you do for a living that you got hit with a rock at work?
I work with at-risk juveniles. Kids on probation, kids with school difficulties, basically we're camp green lake but without trusting our kids with shovels.
Woo, hope you recover fully and speedily!
Wow sorry. Hope the recovery is swift and complete
Sorry to hear that. Hope that you get better fast, and completely.
Trying to edit the campaign info tab is currently broken, so I can't update the running total xp. After the earth elemental you are at 13,404.
Also, I just have to say, the longer I run this adventure, the more terrible design choices I find.
I usually find that they lock up after 2 months.
I keep a working copy on my home computer, and make the changes there, then update it to the online version. it seems to work the best.

For example, putting a big-ass earth elemental against a bunch of 4th-level PCs.

Oh, stuff that I'm shuffling behind the scenes, too. Frex, there is a bit here that specifies in the mod that the PCs have only one lead they can follow up on - and the way you get that lead requires a Perception check.
Meaning they fell into the cardinal sin that if your team fails their Perception checks, adventure over.
Someone should read Gumshoe or something. But this is unsurprising, considering how bad the caravan rules are; this AP seems to be full of those kinds of problems.
Yeah, for clues like that, you waive the check. Maybe have additional clues that the PCs can find with a good enough Perception, but the really critical clue should be a gimme.
This AP was the Caravan Rules experiment, along with the PC/NPC relationship experiment. I commend Paizo for trying new things but when they don't work it gets messy.
The only AP mechanic I've liked was Kingmarker, but Ultimate Campaign went and made it better anyway so...

In-deeeeeed.
I guess I like the technology in Iron Gods, but I'm a sucker for swords & sorcery Thundarr-type stuff.

Demon dogs!
(sorry just saw this)
I just noticed Psychics get Bluff as a class skill.
Now I'm regretting not putting points into it.
Paging Alara! We've lost Bernard it seems.
Oop! Right--gonna get caught up now!
Hello . . . . . llo . . . . lo. . . .o . . . . .
Ello.
Figured everything super busy with the Holidays.
Happy New Years btw :3
So, I have some bad post-holiday news.
My S.O. is starting chemo this month and I'll likely be spending time keeping her intact. The good part is it's a fairly short treatment and caught early, but, y'know, this is never good, and the medicine itself is sooo toxic...
Anyway, long story short, I just won't have the bandwidth to keep running a bunch of games on here. I will probably still be able to play here and there as long as I can keep my time investment low, but managing campaigns is just going to be too much. :(
Regardless, I enjoyed our time together for what little we were able to accomplish, and if you can find a new GM to take over, I hope you are able to carry on!

I am sorry to hear that.
But my best to you and your SO, and I am hoping that she recovers.
*sends hugs to both you and your SO*
Sorry to hear that.
