I swear that looked smaller before I actually put it on Paizo. Not important.
Due to RL circumstances, Terestria has had to step back. I hope to be able to play with them again, but for now, it's farewell.
Seriously, if you're reading this right now? It's been great having you. If space frees up again here or I start another game, I'll be sure to ask if you're up for it. I'd give you a free pass to return any time, but it wouldn't be fair to boot someone just when they haven't done anything to warrant it, and ah...I don't think I can handle 7 players.
Good luck with your life, and I hope to see you again.
In the meantime, someone else has stepped up to fill in. They were part of the original recruitment, but since Gorn is tied up elsewhere they've got a new character for this campaign.
Introducing the Stranger in the Dark, everyone. Hope you get along.
Nice! I've been thinking about how awesome the Mastermind class is! Great to have one in the party!
Feel free to address the Herald as Anastasia. It will confound and upset her.

Thanks for the great game guys and for the kind words Loopy. It was a pleasure!

ALL - DM Loopy has kindly given me permission to recruit here. Terestria was not only a player in this game, but was GM'ing another, and has left it as well. I'm going to try my hand at GM'ing her Dungeon World game (I've GM'd in several systems over the decades, but I'm a little hesitant to GM DW because it's so different).
Anyway, we're now down to 3 PC's (not including my PC, who's become an NPC), and I'm looking for 1 or 2 more.
Terestria's intro to the world was :
An idyllic valley, with verdant forests, deep lakes, forgotten groves, and sloping hills hides an ancient village. In the valley of Chromia, mankind lives in harmony with nature and the spirits of the forest.
At least it did, until it was swallowed whole by the earth itself.
Washed up on the banks of a river, you awaken. In the distance you see the familiar hills now sundered in the Catastrophe. A sinkhole yawns in earth where Chromia once stood, and above it, floating in the sky, a crystal the size of a city bathes the landscape in a pink glow.
The world of Evermore will never be the same.
And if you want more details from the Recruitment page, it is HERE.
If interested, please post in Chromia's Recruitment or Discussion.
Stranger - I searched the web for the "Mastermind" class, but only found a few links to non-existent pages.
Do you know of any web pages that describe the class? Thanks!
GAH.
Trying to get an update together and out, but I've been dealing with technical issues, my inability to get some decent sleep, and general persistent goings-on with my head that I don't understand in the slightest.
Doing my best, and hoping to get that update up soon. Feel free to speculate about what's coming up, or whatever else you want to do. This is a discussion thread, use it how you like - I'm not particularly fussed what you talk about as long as I can get your attention when I need it.
Oh, and MWG, I might be able to get you a copy if you want to look it over - just PM me about it. Only remember seeing a couple places that linked the playbook, and all those links are dead now.

Loopy - I wasn't expecting a Gameplay post from you so soon after the above post (and FWIW, I see nothing wrong with its content). I can definitely relate to not getting decent sleep, having suffered from insomnia for nearly 30 years.
But taking care of your mental health is far more important than rushing to get a post out - if you're struggling, please just let us know here in Discussion, and I'm sure we'll all be glad to wait until things sort themselves out.
I promise you, I'm not rushing anything. I didn't write that whole thing from scratch to put out the next day, and I wasn't scrambling to put it together. The whole affair felt rather leisurely, really - concocting ideas, getting down ones that had occurred to me earlier, and just writing what felt would naturally follow. It's fun.
I love to see how you all respond, too.
I might have given off the wrong impression. I might have been concerned about what I wrote, but I have no problems at all with actually writing it all. I just wanted to be sure I hadn't contradicted something from earlier by accident, or something - it's easier to make errors like this.
I can't say I understand what goes off in my head - where the stress points are, and the release valves. But I do know all of this is something I very much enjoy, and something that feels good to do.
Still. Thanks for your concern. Just the contact means a lot.
Feel free to talk freely with me about these things - aaaand also to tell me to stop if you think I should, because I probably won't recognise when I should myself.
I give a week for everyone to act before engaging in GM activity, and Bikke hadn't posted. It's only been a week now, Stranger.
I don't intend to let schedule veer off significantly again. I'm just really tired right now, and it's my own fault.
It's not that long.
I'm not sure if I've said it officially before, but I have now.
Bikke takes a deep breath, and chug of rum.
I'm busy with other stuff; don't feel like posting. I am RSS subscribed, so I still get updates, but that's about it. I'll read and play later.
Don't let me slow you down.
This is me "leaning back", if you've heard the RPG practice/term. The equivalent of checking my phone, or going to the bathroom.
Thanks for letting me know, Bikke. I wasn't exactly sure what was happening.
I forgot to mention before, but as with the others who've had to leave, if you have any bonds with Terestria then you can go ahead and resolve them and mark XP.
Oh, and if you have spare bond slots, at all? Feel free to write one in at any time that feels right. Just note that you've done that if you do.
I shouldn't be too long. I'm just...making revisions to my notes.
I'm sure this bodes well.
Having problems accessing the site. For some reason, I can't get on Paizo via my internet, so my only means of getting on here is via data. Every other site seems to be fine. Not exactly sure what's going on.
Expect further updates to be delayed until this gets sorted, somehow.
Same here...
...oh dear. Just remembered. Last time this happened, there was a crash not long after.
Leeeet's hope this fixes itself and nothing bad happens.
Same here, today's the first day I've been able to access the site since Sunday!
Theeere we go. All we have to do now is hope we don't have technical difficulties again.
Shall we get this moving again?
Chiming in a bit.
I'm so sorry guys. It turns out I have some kind of burnout for tabletop RPGs. While I do love this game and this campaign and everyone sitting on our virtual table, I'll have to step away. For a while, anyway. I haven't read the last 16 or so posts in the Gameplay thread, either. If you haven't already, Loopy, you may want to write some kind of disability on Bikke. This sucks, I know, but I kinda want to keep a backdoor open in case I get the interest to pirate-post again. Thanks!
Land ahoy, someday!
Hey all I am still around I was just slammed for the past few weeks we can pretend that busy was just roaming a long talking with a scarf. I will join in at the next post

See you, Bikke. May there be rum wherever you go.
To everyone else - sorry, but I've been having a hard time giving this game the investment it deserves. I end up doing a lot of thinking where this game is concerned, but I haven't been able to actually devote the necessary time to pulling everything together. And considering what comes next after the door is open, I do not want to half-ass this.
This week and the next, I'm going to be trying to get things cleared up so that I've got less to worry about, and empty out my head of some of the crap that's in it now. Hopefully, it won't take much longer than that to sort myself out.
Until then, when I'm better equipped to run this game, updating will be on hold. You might see me about elsewhere, but I'm trying to avoid anything too mentally taxing right now. I hope you understand.
Hey there! To all who've not seen me about - still alive! Feeling better, but still not back up to speed yet. May have been a little optimistic on when I get back.
I still don't intend to drop this, but I don't think now's a good time to kick the game back up. I'm being careful to not strain myself as it is so I don't have to drop off the radar again. Got to build back up to this.
Safest thing to say right now is that I'll be back when I'm ready, whenever that is. Don't want to put a timeframe on it, since I couldn't really give you a good idea of when that might be, and it'd be both disappointing and stressing to miss that. But I hope I'll be back soon enough. There's fun stuff yet to come that I really want to play with. Some of you might even have an idea of what some of that is.
In any case, just letting you know I'm alive. Hope to see you there when I'm ready to come back.
------------
Just on the side...once that door opens, you're going to be at the core of the Skyruin. The Paladin and his elven friend are going to be in there, alongside Lincoln and Nora.
And that's not mentioning whatever craziness is keeping the place aloft in the first place.
I'm a little tired to put up my usual list of questions right now, so I'm just going to put it out there:
What do you think the core looks like? What's going on in there? And what is happening or present that would make the (presumably) inevitable confrontation in there more interesting and dynamic, than say...a brawl in a hallway?
If I'm going to put this off, I'd like to make this good. Whoever's here, feel free to put ideas forward. The less resistance to this getting off the ground again, and the better we can make this when that happens, the, err...better.
Anyway. To everyone reading this - see you guys later, and I can't wait to see what you all come up with, and where this'll all go.
So, the interior of the core is built out of a shiny, highly reflective metal, and there are so many twists and turns in every corridor that it's very highly possible that the image of the person you're looking at is exactly that - just an image. There's a 25% chance that any attack you make is against an image instead of the real person.
The station's hand breaks, the levers that disengage the anchors holding the presumed island, are at different locations, and separate from the helm console altar. Shake and Bake, AKA the colonel's Herbs and Spices, are still trying to find the anchors that haven't snapped, because the corridors are so hard to navigate. They've left signs to help them navigate, but it's up to us to interpret them correctly. Do we storm the helm, and combat Nora, or defend the remaining anchors from her questionable allies.
Also, since there seem to be people and other creatures who seem to have come from other universes, such as the paladin and elf we saw earlier, there might be other people inside the door who have different goals.
