Hi, folks.

I'm back from vacation but I have some less-than-good family stuff going on right now. I'll resume posting as soon as I can.

Thanks for understanding.

Sorry to hear that! I hope things get better soon.
No worries, this game is worth waiting for! :)

Thanks Gwyn! And I certainly understand how that one goes Haladir. I hope all is well, well, will be well anyways.

Sorry to hear about that. I hope things turn out alright.

Thanks for your patience! Unless something else happens, I'm planning to resume posting tonight.

Huzzah!

I'll post tonight when I get home. I wanted to post last night, but yesterday ended up being a really horrible friggin day for me.


Male Half Elf Investigator (Sleuth) 5 | HP: 28 | AC: 17/13/14 | Fort: +1 | Ref: +7 | Will: +5 | Init: +3 | Perception: 11 | Character Sheet

Thought I posted. I guess not. I'll post tomorrow though.


Elf Thief 1 | HP: 4/4 | AC: 6[13] | Saving Throw: 15 (13 vs. devices) | Skill Spec.: DEX, WIS | Arrows: 20

I'm sorry I haven't been on the past few days. I've pretty much hit empty as far as energy and motivation go. It's not just here, but in other things I want to do. I'm sorry to have to do this, but this isn't the only game I'm dropping out of. I've had fun, and I regret that I'm not going to be able to get know you guys and your characters as well as I'd like, but I need to regroup and refocus.

I hope you guys have fun and I wish you luck.

I'm sorry to see you go! I hope things get better for you.


Elf Thief 1 | HP: 4/4 | AC: 6[13] | Saving Throw: 15 (13 vs. devices) | Skill Spec.: DEX, WIS | Arrows: 20

Me too. Some of it is mental, some of it's physical. I just need to step away from some things and take some time for a breather.


Male Half Elf Investigator (Sleuth) 5 | HP: 28 | AC: 17/13/14 | Fort: +1 | Ref: +7 | Will: +5 | Init: +3 | Perception: 11 | Character Sheet

Aww... Okay Gwyn, I completely understand. I wish you the best!!!


Male Human Umm... I graduated something?

I just realized, that's gonna leave Cerin and I as the only two from the original group...

Nooooooooo! How's Helena going to cope on her own? =(

Take care of yourself, mate. Recharge, and get your head sorted.


Your humble narrator

Sorry to see you go, Gwyn!

Assuming it's still running, you'll always be welcome back!

I don't know... Are we going to keep it running? I know posting has slowed down quite a lot in the last few months, and we've lost a few people along the way. I'm still good with keeping it going, but at the same time, I'm a little worried here. I find it kinda tough to keep things going when there's a revolving door of some sort, you know what I mean?

I would like to keep going! At least finish off book 1, then see if everyone wants to continue.

That seems a good solution, Cerin.


Your humble narrator

Okay! We'll continue through the end of Nook 1, and we'll take it from there.

Ill GMPC Gwyn until the next decent exit point.


Your humble narrator

I'm dealing with some family issues right now. I'll resume posting as soon as I'm up to it.

I hope everything's all right! Thank you for letting us know.

Hi, folks. Sorry for radio silence, and i want to give you an update. It may be another week or so before i resume posting.

My dad had a major stroke. He's in the hospital still, but the prognosis isn't good. He's 78. I've been helping my mom go over their financial records and insurance info... the kind of stuff my dad had taken care of for the past 49 years.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know what was going on. I may start up again sooner if I need the escape from reality.

Thanks for bearing with me.

So sorry to hear that! My dad had a stroke last year, but he managed to pull through, so things can surprise you sometimes. My best wishes for you and your family.

Take your time, GM. Look after yourself, and be with your father. We'll be here.


Male Half Elf Investigator (Sleuth) 5 | HP: 28 | AC: 17/13/14 | Fort: +1 | Ref: +7 | Will: +5 | Init: +3 | Perception: 11 | Character Sheet

That's never an easy thing to deal with. I hope all turns out as well as it can, and we're here for you if you need us!


HP 59/59 | AC 22 | T 12 | FF 20 | CMD 17 | Fort +8 | Ref +3 | Will +3 | Init +1 | Perception +0 | Sense Motive +0

I'll echo all these sentiments that everyone has already sent, Haladir. Take your time. Be with your dad. We'll be here for you when you're feeling ready to come back.

So here's the situation.

I haven't been in a good place lately (again). My desktop computer has died due to a hard drive issue, and my one-year-old tablet has decided to stop working as well. This restricts me to posting on my phone, which is amazingly difficult due to a cracked screen and prohibitively slow loading times. I'm up against a deadline for job searching, I can barely afford to pay my bills, and the constant stress is leaving me pretty drained.

Right now, I'm at a friend's house posting this. I'll be around, and trying to post occasionally from my phone, but until Microsoft get me my replacement device, I'll be spotty at best.


Male Half Elf Investigator (Sleuth) 5 | HP: 28 | AC: 17/13/14 | Fort: +1 | Ref: +7 | Will: +5 | Init: +3 | Perception: 11 | Character Sheet

No worries Helena. I feel as though it will be some time before we get going again. I'm sure Haladir is going to be very spotty for some time.


Your humble narrator

Hey, folks. Thanks for all the good wishes.

I didn't mention that I live about 500 miles from my old home town. I'm back home now, but I'll be driving out there every weekend for the next few weeks. (It's an eight-hour drive each way...)

Fortunately, my younger sister still lives in the same town as my folks, so she'll be there for daily support. Unfortunately, she's also kind of generally irresponsible, so I'm still going to need to keep close tabs on what's going on. (I'm kind of afraid of my sister getting her hands on our parents' bank accounts...)

We're looking at having to move my dad to a long-term care facility... and the complexity of financing is daunting, even to someone like me who normally works with legal documents and large sums of money for a living.

And enough of that...

I'm really missing my online games. I'm also concerned about the time commitment for GMing. However, I do want to continue this game, at least as far as the conclusion of "Burnt Offerings." We're actually getting pretty close.

So, I'm planning to start posting again shortly, possibly as soon as tonight. However, I need to let you know that I may only get one or two GM posts up a week.

To those who are in other games in which I'm a player: You will probably see me post in those games with more frequency. That's mainly a matter of available time: I can bang out a post as a player from my phone in just a few minutes, but it often takes me a good half-hour or more at my computer to do a decent GM post.

Anyway, thanks again for your well-wishes, and for your understanding.


HP 59/59 | AC 22 | T 12 | FF 20 | CMD 17 | Fort +8 | Ref +3 | Will +3 | Init +1 | Perception +0 | Sense Motive +0

I'm out for GenCon tonight, and will be more or less unavailable until next Monday, 8/8. Feel free to bot Orik until then.

My replacement device has arrived, and I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. Hopefully I can start posting in my games tonight or tomorrow!

Best wishes to you, GM. Hope everything's going well on your end.


Male Human Techie 2 / Bureaucrat 6

Hi, folks.

I wanted to give you another update:

My father died last week. His funeral was Tuesday. I've been in my old home town the past week, helping my mother with the arrangements, and just offering moral support. I'm back home now.

My father was a serious pack-rat, much to my mother's chagrin. I knew that he was, but I hadn't realized the extent of it-- He wasn't quite a hoarder, but it's close. Several rooms of my childhood home are pretty much haphazardly jammed with a whole lot of stuff: a mix of brand-new, unopened, often expensive stuff and yard-sale "bargains" that he intended to fix up and resell but never got around to. (For example, I'm typing this on a brand-new, top-of-the-line Samsung laptop he bought in January and never even took out of the box. I found the laptop box under an old milk crate full of second-hand snowblower parts.)

For the foreseeable future, I'm going to be continuing to spend my weekends heading back-and-forth from central New York State to New Hampshire to help my mom sort through all this stuff and figure out what to do with it all. Complicating matters is that I have three step-siblings that I don't know particularly well (they all live in Florida), and for the sake of not alienating anyone, I need to be sure that I don't sell or give away anything that they want. (I'm keeping that laptop, BTW.)

So...what does this mean for the game? Not sure. I don't want to go on an official hiatus, but I'm not sure how much time and effort I'll be able to put in at this time. Once everything reaches a new state of equilibrium, I should have a better idea.

Thanks so much for bearing with me.

My condolences for your loss. Take care, don't worry and just do what you need to do.

I'm sorry for your loss, Haladir. Take whatever time you need. We'll be here when you're finished sorting everything out - or even if you just need to mentally unpack.

I'm sorry for your loss, GM. Puts my recent spate of tech issues and various "itis"es in perspective...


Your humble narrator

Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone!

I think I'm back now.

Given other things going on in my life, I'm going to shoot for daily posts again, but I'll consider it a success if I can make 4-5 posts in a week.


Male Half Elf Investigator (Sleuth) 5 | HP: 28 | AC: 17/13/14 | Fort: +1 | Ref: +7 | Will: +5 | Init: +3 | Perception: 11 | Character Sheet

It's okay Haladir. If you still need to take time, then take time as you need!

Glad to have you back, GM. Don't push yourself!


Your humble narrator

Okay... time to get this campaign moving again!

BTW, I spoke with Gwyn's player, and I think Gwyn will be returning to active play again shortly!

[Not that we've advanced much since Adam announced his resignation...]


Elf Thief 1 | HP: 4/4 | AC: 6[13] | Saving Throw: 15 (13 vs. devices) | Skill Spec.: DEX, WIS | Arrows: 20

Allow me to put any doubts to rest. I'm coming back, and will be posting as soon as I find out where we are. (Can't remember what's going on, but I think I was here for the Alchemist fire trap discussion)

That said, I didn't know (or don't remember) your dad had passed, Haladir. Allow me to express my sympathies now. I hope all is going well, and that you are enjoying that new laptop. I also hope that your family is doing okay.

And apologies for the mood whiplash. Still I'm glad to have you and Ronnie back in the Shattered Star game.

We just finished setting the trap, went down a hallway to a door and Cerin healed himself. You haven't missed anything! ;)

Thanks. It's nice to be back.

I'm glad I haven't missed anything. I hope to add some more stories about Gwyn's Misadventures soon.
