Nar - I think you qualify for an AoO from the movement 1st, before deciding to react to the trample.

Typing after slicing a finger doing dinner prep is hard... will get a response up tomorrow

Sounds good. That's a nasty painful way to type. Puts my current problem (a laptop with almost malfunctioning "b" and "h" keys) to shame. New one in a month!


Minor Crab-beast

Sorry guys - I'm recovering from a chest cold and maybe overdid the exercising tonight.... need to get zzzzs.

Tomorrow's a busy work day as well, so might be 24hrs before I can get the next post up.

It's been a fortnightus horribilus for me as far as updating goes. Gastrointestinal distress, sick kids, sick wife, not-sleeping childers and last night an unscheduled upchuck from the youngest.

I am still here and will get to it... eventually. I thank you for your patience.

Also a small foreboding of the span of days 14-30 December - I will be on a short hiatus as I'll be travelling down to Australia to do the whole family christmas thing.

No worries VoV! We'll be around when things get less plague-touched and nutty for you.

After a quite reasonable suggestion from one of my players I'm making an executive decision to call an early start to my hiatus for christmas. That will meant that the studio lights on this campaign will dim from now through until I'm back in country at the end of December.

I'll repeat that I'm still interested and committed to coming back on board and keeping this chugging along, it's just been a tyranny of circumstance over the last few weeks that's crippled my ability and effort. Come the new year I should hopefully be re-freshed, re-newed and re-ady to go.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Peaceful Positive Emotion Holiday Related Occasion with No Baggage... depending on how the case may be ;) Eat lots, have fun... and I shall see y'all come January.

That sounds eminently reasonable. Enjoy your trip and time with family, and we'll see you on the other side.

Excellent suggestion and plan. We'll see you in the new year! Have a great holiday!

And your DM has returned hale, hearty and surprisingly healthy from his sojourn downunder. I'll be getting back up to speed with PbP over the course of today and tonight... so hopefully can get a post in thread soon enough to get us back up and on point.

Outstanding! Glad to have you back.

Sounds good VoV! We're at Disney through Saturday so I may be a little slow. Should be fully back in the swing of things by Sunday or Monday.

I'm heading out to Florida this afternoon for a week long company event, my posting during the day will be limited but I will check in the morning and evening. DMPC if necessary.

Honesty and forthright confession time - at this point in my life/work/schedule I'm not cut out for PbP DM'ing.

You will have noticed that I've been getting sketchier and sketchier with my update regime over the last probably six months. More and more excuses, less updates and when they do come I think you'd agree that the standard isn't as good as I'm probably capable of.

Apart from the usual familial death lurgies and erratic little kids, one of the other contributors has been that I've started exercising in a fairly big way. Which has been great - as I've dropped about 15 odd kilos, but it also both wipes out a good 1.5 hours of my night as well as tiring me out body and brain. Thoughts of PbP updates get pushed to the back of the night... generally not starting till post midnight, then get rushed, or put off, etc.

So with a heavy heart and much apologizing, I think the only logical and sane thing to do will be to close up shop for a period of time. I'll still be around the boards as a player - but the DM side of me just isn't up to scratch to run games at present. Good luck, god bless... and I'll see y'all round the boards.

If I do get to a position later on to start up another game - I'll come to you guys (and those in the other PbP that I'm also shuttering) rather than open recruiting to give you first right of refusal on giving me another shot.

Also, on a side note - I've found that Throne of Night isn't that great an adventure from this side of the curtain. That plus the uncertain nature of when the next books are coming saps the enthusiasm a bit as well.

That last makes a bad situation even worse. You can work around weak spots in a published adventure, but it generally takes a lot of time. Thanks for letting us know, and good luck w/the family & exercise. See you in Freeport!

Good luck Voice, sorry to hear it's not that good (as I backed it too), but I understand where you're coming from, adapting a bad AP can be more work than creating your own.

Awesome news on the exercise! Totally understand with both the challenge of adapting this one and the time requirements for that. Hope to game with you again! Till then take care!

Take care everyone! It was fun...
