GM ShadowLord's Rise of the Runelords Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master GM ShadowLord

Because everything else about Yavenee bothers him?

Not everything. So far it's just the mind control stuff and the whole having to be naked for the ritual.

Well, in the end, since I can honestly say that I wouldn't mind playing either of them, and both have some potential fun for me. I may decide to go with the die roll, or just decide to keep playing Ragnhildr. I don't know.

On the up side. I can always take the Healing Sphere and help out with that if I keep playing Ragnhildr. Actually that's a good reason to keep playing.

Well, that's decided. Just waiting on an answer from our busy GM and I'll be posting in the game.

Just realized that I'm not doing a good job of fostering camaraderie with all of the party members. Can we just assume that anyone that wants in on the conversation is checking on Jessica right when Ragnhildr walks in?

Also trying not to give in to the temptation of resolving this with someone hugging Kiley. As adorable as that might be, I don't think this should be resolved so quickly adn cleanly like that.

She needs a care bear stare.

Interesting, also a possible way to flavour Evil Eye. I get the weirdest ideas while being both sick and working.

We don't all need to be in the same room RPing the same thing. Sometimes a crowd just muddles up a scene.

I've just posted a different avenue for RP so there's something for other people to do if folk like.

Before we move on I wanted to apologize to everyone. For everything.

For making the game unenjoyable, for all the stress, for all the hostility over the past half of the year. I'm sorry it took me so long to admit that I was the problem, that everything going bad was because of me.

I said something like this happened in a live game that ended with that campaign collapsing and me being banned from that group for a year, so when I saw it all playing out again I freaked out, in part because of how I thought what the reason everyone was acting because I had seen it before, and because they were turning against me and Sunday, like we were getting thrown away. So in my attempts to stop it from happening again it pretty much became a self-fulfilling act.

But even with all of that, all of that anger and stress and grief in my head, so much that it was making me physically sick, I can't put the blame for how I acted on it. I could have done things differently, somehow, someway. I could have thought things over more, or, ya'know, something as simple as not being abusive with all of you when you were trying to help.

I also won't say that I see everything clearly now, especially with all of that stuff still lingering, it won't go away, I just realized, probably a little too late and after talking in seemingly circles with you all that all this negatively that was harming the game was revolving around me, and that had to mean something, even if I couldn't or just didn't want to see it.

So everyone, who have been playing this game for upwards of 2 years, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for how much of a horrible person I am. I'm sorry for ruining what should have otherwise been fun or enjoyable moments that none of us are ever going to get back. Or fix.

I'm sorry.

Thank you. I disagree with the whole horrible person part, and it hasn't been ruined. Taken on a bit of an ugly detour maybe but not ruined.

Let's just move forward from here on out.

(tangent: I did say moments, not the whole game)

Okies, I'll try.

I agree with Mark. Let's just try to learn from it and move forward from here.

K

We say "Es de sabios rectificar", something similar to It is a hint of being a wise man to admit the own error and correct.

It takes a lot of courage to do what you just made Daud. You are an intelligent person and I look forward to enjoy the campaign together :D

This is a group effort, so if you ever again notice you will start feeling again the same, let's talk it out and see what can we do!

Okies.

I'm back! It looks to be that there has been quite the proliferation of posting in my absence. I'll plan on catching up tomorrow.

Sweet! Happy to have you back.

Just in case y'all are interested, I'm spinning up a Jade Regent game. If you're interested, just mosey on over here: DM Salsa Presents: The Jade Regent

I'd be more than happy to have any of y'all playing through this with me. :)

...Curse you Rag, now I have another game to apply too. too bad Vishkanya aren't allowed in it, had one in a JR campaign that died out early on. Oh well, now to figure out what to submit.

Heh, wait until we get going before you curse me. You're first enemies are goblins, and the GM can tell you about Krosk and Goberto. :D

OMG Jade Regent.

I'm so tempted to play a Shaman in that game.

...Curse you Rag, now I have another game to apply too. too bad Vishkanya aren't allowed in it, had one in a JR campaign that died out early on. Oh well, now to figure out what to submit.

No Kistune either, but Changelings...

Hmm, or a Wendigo descended Sylph...

I'm so tempted to app a human fighter named Nothing Special....

Kitsune are allowed. I just forgot to put it into the opening post. :*

Sweet!

... aw nvm, I just checked and they take a -2 to STR, not CON -_-

Getting more and more tempted

Oh, I've got a good start on one already. Gonna build a human ninja.

Yeah, I don't even know what class I would pick.

Hmm

Considering a Nature Shaman with a connection to Shalelu

Dang, so many rogue/ninja submissions already. Might come up with something different now.

Too much going on in life. I am already struggling to play 3 PbP campaigns and GM one!

But thanks a lot for the invitation Rag :)

Teisatsu Vigilante?

Too much competition for me, I think. Auditioning for a seat at a table always feels odd to me.

Same, I was the most nervous I've ever been in my life when I submitted my first PbP character.

It dawned on me that a nine-tailed kitsune would be a lot of fun,sadly the feats needed for it are obscene and mostly wasteful. Burning eight of ten feats just doesn't sit well with me. Might just go with the ninja after all.

I think there's an oracle curse that makes it a bit easier to enter Krysta if you were interested. Yavenee, are we both making identical Shanan ;)

I knew I'd seen something like that before. Awesome! Nine tailed kitsune here I come. Now to just find a patron I like for it. Thinking something along the lines of a shrine maiden type character.

I'm pretty sure Sunday is the type that doesn't like the idea of getting a second set of clothes ("Why would I need them? It's just more to carry around.") but absolutely cherishes everything given to him as a gift.

Ragnhildr when do submissions close for that game? I'm trying to make a Hunter with a Giant Mantis but I'm still fleshing her out :/

I'm closing recruitment to new applicants tomorrow. You'll have a week after that to get your character stuff together.

I hope you get an awesome party!

That, I don't think I have to worry about. I think I'll be fine as far as that goes.

It's choosing that is going to be hard I think, lot of applicants.

Yep, I think there's 40 or close to it, and most of those have characters already made up.

I love and hate recruitment for new games. I hate having to choose between so many good concepts and letting people down. Alternatively, I love the fresh start on a new game. There is always so much enthusiasm and energy that I wish could be harnessed to sustain. Recruitment becomes increasingly more difficult if there are players you have played with before. I had a hard time staying impartial in previous games due to that piece.

Apologies on the delay this weekend, it was my thirteenth wedding anniversary and I took the wife on a surprise out of town trip to get away from the kiddos.

Enough on that though, there's a party awaiting!

Hope you two had fun :3

Nice! Happy Anniversary.

Hope you had fun, and congrats!

Happy!

Thank you, it was a great day!

Unexpected travel out of town this weekend for an emergency surgery for a family member. My schedule is a little wack, hopefully posting tomorrow or Tuesday.

*channels positive feelings*
