Haha. No worries. Go to the campaign page, and its under the weekly questions tab. Anything you have done has your name behind it (to show you completed it). So anything without your name you have not done.
Your current XP, % to next level, a summary and quick explanation of House Rules, etc. are all there as well, along with links to all introduced people and places! :)

YI: I am leaving for vacation tomorrow morning, we will be out and traveling until next Saturday. I will have my phone and should have internet, but don't know just how much time I will have to invest in gameplay.

Sorry, guys, I had hell week at work followed buy a super-busy weekend.
On the plus side, I got another podcast out.

Sorry, been super busy. We just did the paperwork for a wheelchair can we are crowdfunding for our daughter, and are trying to now figure out the best way to get it cross country. I've been busy with a film finishing up in our area this week. (Got to take my older daughter to a night shoot where she saw two cops get shot...pretty cool.) And dealing with my YouTube and Twitch channels, and dealing with contracts has kept me distracted.
I have not moved the Rusty Dragon forward, because your next step is the dinner, but so is the other groups...and what I thought would be a three day conversation has turned into almost three weeks. I'm cutting both groups once it's done to the same location, same time.

Yes, in the movie. It wasn't my film (this time), but my friends. An hour fifteen of prep to shoot one three second shot. She really liked it, as the directors put her front row in video village, so she could see the screens and the live action. And my mate Allan was the actor doing the shooting, lol. She knows him, so it was cool for her to see him in character, doing things he wouldn't normally do.
mittean |
Oh yeah, she knew. Lol. It's why we were there, and she watched them run through about a dozen runs prior to "live fire, live explosives." She's grown up around sets, this just happened to be the biggest one she'd ever been to, as it was within ten minutes of our house, and the producer is one of my closest friends.
I know Satinder has been busy the last month, as he wrote an entire novel in 30 days (way to go, mate!) and is 20,000 or so words into the second draft. We're looking to finish off the conversation between him, Watches-Shadow-Behind-You and Garrick.
Daxur, Khravos and Engineer #3, you guys were kind of in the middle of a conversation posed by Three, but that just stopped dead. Do you want to finish that off, and by that time we should be able to cut to the dinner scene?

I have been. I am super sorry, guys. I just wrapped one last month, and then signed contracts to produce a mini-series with HBO and Will Smith (Which is MAJOR for me). My job will be (mostly) to shut up and sit in the corner, but having it will hopefully get me many, many other jobs. Right now I am attempting to pivot off this signing, and utilize my "capitol" from said signing (and my non-existent finances, lol), to acquire the rights two other films I want to produce and Executive produce that have some traction, as well as bring in a financier for an animated fantasy tv series. I started into film about six years ago, came up with this plan, and I am now here, and am trying to focus past my ADHD, OCD and DSPD to get this sh!t done right.
I've been having a bit of guilt over this, especially for Daxur and Engineer, as the last time I DM'd them (and coincidentally the last time I DM'd) I ended up directing a feature and producing a feature and it killed that game. Sigh. I wish pbp worked for me...because finding table time that is NOT a fund raiser with actors and industry folk (and therefore IS a campaign) never happens. :/

Thanks, Daxur. I do appreciate it. I just feel frustrated because I have to stop, and this is the second time for you two. (The last time I directed a feature and produced another, and had to stop a campaign I was running with PsionicHamster and Spazmodeus).
I am glad it's working, of course. I am going to approach Paizo at some point about rights, as I have several ideas for stories and distribution that I feel would be well received by fans of Pathfinder, as well as general fantasy and even pop culture, potentially, that could be made for reasonable amounts and make a decent profit. That is part of my Phase III plan, lol.
Yes. I have phases for my plan. I wrote it like a story, lol. And I am in the finale of Phase I right now, pivoting to Phase II. Things can move (Paizo could become part of Phaze II if things worked out ahead of schedule nudge nudge wink wink Lisa and Vic) but...yeah. We'll see.
The project for HBO has been announced at it's base level (Will Smith and Jay Z are producing a mini series with HBO), so no details yet, and of course it could all never happen, or my portion could be cut, but...so far so good. So it will be a mini series like Band of Brothers, Jon Adams or the Pacific. And right now I'm trying to secure rights for two screenplays, a book, a book series, and get three screenplays written as well as a tv series screenplay, and find homes and financing for all of them. That's Phase II, lol.
So...for now...sigh...yeah. Hiatus. I'm sorry, guys.

I wanted to drop an update here, if any of you still hung about.
It's been a busy year for me. Two new cars, a bit of moving, new contracts. The works, lol.
HBO is still going forward, they are just writing the series. I recently signed to EP a film to be distributed by SONY for the LP of Avatar, so I'm throwing my all at that, as well as EPing a two picture deal for the directorial debut of the EP of Lone Survivor and Two Guns. This is on top of becoming a brand ambassador for This Bar Saves Lives. Another half dozen smaller projects as well.
Things did what I hoped they'd do after I signed with HBO...I have started to pivot an build bigger things off it. I miss gaming and story-telling. Jack (Satinder) and I still talk about the game at least once a month. Oh!, BTW! He's currently doing a re-write on a script adaptation for the EP of Deadpool, so wish him luck. :D
I miss you guys and your characters. You were an excellent table.
mittean |
Satinder and I talk about it on occasion. Most of my issue is available time, at this point.
TL;DR
My wife and I have been polyamorous for years, and two years ago I started a relationship with another wonderful woman. Still doing film, but took a little over a year off when my wife got cancer. Made it through, and we're all doing fairly good at this point.
We pivoted as a polycule, putting some of our efforts and finances in to learning and doing real estate investment, and have been focusing on that for the last bit.
The girls have both traveled extensively, with multiple trips to Sydney, Colorado and Oregon, California and Paris, Munich and Amsterdam.
This campaign stands out as my favorite pbp I've been involved in, and one of my top groups I've played with (which puts you guys up there with Keith Baker and Matthew Mercer, so...well done).
We're still as busy as ever, but restarting and continuing this campaign is something I have considered multiple times.
