Yeah, having a great time, and sorry Kiley!
I am a bit lost about that Kiley, what do you mean?
About the game! Congrats everybody! Specially Crispy who has to endure us!
Those 1,000 posts in just 3 months is a good measure of how active we all are. There are games that reach that point just after 1 year :)
As for the game, it keeps me in because the regularity of all posters. It has made a habit in me to go check the forums everyday in my bus go and back work. At the beginning I was desiring a bit faster pace for the developments, but it has been well compensated by having interesting postings to read. This is much better than the typical, I go X stab Y. It keeps things more interesting between combat. I also like there are relationships that have been building and growing between the characters and even with NPCs.
For me the assessment is we are doing good. I am a bit anxious though to see the AP events to develop as it is first time I play Runelords and I have never ever read or even open that book, not even been spoilered
I would love to see though a mud battle between Ameiko and Kiley for Vivi's bones xD
Hahaha, well, we have to keep things PG-13, but if Kiley wants to make that happen, we'll see. :)
I think that Vivi gets a say in that too, lol...
I am having a blast so far. :)

I have to say we got a very high rp group. Very different from most of the pbp's I play with. Like Delendir I sometimes would like to advance with the developments of story since that will be a big hook. But I'm liking the relationships that are building due to the time we are taking with the roleplaying. I'm just hoping we aren't all rp'ed out after another 1000 posts ;).
I think the combats are going fine and I'm curious to see us working in a real dungeon. I'm guessing posting rate in there will slow down a little as it is less conversing, but more waiting for rolls.
+1 for the mud war
Unfortunately for the GM and Delendir's fantasies, Ameiko was the one that got her off the streets and gave her a place to stay, so if Vivi picks Ameiko, then Kiley will just have to pine for someone else. :)
Tal, I was looking through your profile, and now I know why we weren't on the same page. The bit about you and Ameiko 'hooking up' is in your RP example, not background (and is considered non-canon). I think we've already hashed it out, just wanted to clarify that I indeed did read your background.
As for the fighting, I'm sincerely hoping it will not slow down, since we won't be waiting on individual rolls (since everyone can roll at any time during the round and I execute in initiative order). We shall see soon, I'm thinking.
Kiley's 17 years old.
Giggity giggity, I like where this is going. Hahahaha!
*face-palms*
Well, I have some bad news. I'm not going to be able to keep up with this game.
I've had fun, and I really hate doing this, but I really can't keep up with the rate everyone is posting and I would rather you guys enjoy yourselves than have to wait on me.
That said, I think Kiley'd leave a note and slip out in the night.
Again, I've really enjoyed the role-play, but I don't think I can keep up. I'm really sorry about this.
I hate to hear that, as you've been a great addition to the game. However, I appreciate your honesty and earnestness. I hope things work out for you, and if you get your groove back, PM me and we'll find a spot for you. :)
Nooooo!!!! Who will fill the shoes of the blushing Avatar of War now? Who I ask you!? In all seriousness, I really do hate to see you go, it has been fun playing with you!
Sorry to hear that, really enjoyed having ya here, gonna miss ya.
Now the inevitably cold-hearted DM asks you all...do you want me to find a replacement? Kiley was your main front-liner. Not that Vivi and Delendir can't handle most things, but Vivi is a melee/skill hybrid (at least I think he is), and Delendir seems built more as a damage-dealer, not a damage-soaker.
We can run it with 4, if you like.
Hm... I would not be opposed as such to having a replacement, as long as a place was still available for Kiley to "Return from her wanderings" should Adam decide he has the time to play again. (Yes, I know, historically the chance of that actually happening isn't exactly high... but the new person would have to be cool with it as an offhand possibility if it does happen.)
So... my vote is see if someone is interested and then we will see. And... as a personal aside... if we can find someone that at least one other person has run with/been running as a DM before I would prefer it to just opening the floodgates to recruitment. Mostly because we seem to have a great group working together right now and I an wary of upsetting that. (shrug) That is my two cents.
Sure...six would not be a problem, if Adam was capable of rejoining the game. Just a little encounter scaling and there ya go.
I might possibly have a recruit in mind, but do you guys have anybody you'd like to throw a bone to? The obvious intent is for a front-liner, like a paladin/fighter/barbarian/warpriest.
That's a real pity to hear Adam.
I don't know about the others, but I don't mind a lot having to wait a bit for post updates from you if you know the thing is going to improve in the next months.
If you think you really need to drop this to focus in more relevant things, then just go. I will also welcome you if you ever decide there is time for Kiley to come back.
As for the recruitment, I have no-one to suggest.
About the built, I don't mind using the incoming combat style feats to built a board&sword more defensive oriented character, and the animal companion to absorb extra hits, if that fits better with an incoming character.
Honestly, Delendir, I'd prefer you play your character exactly as you planned. I'm sure we'll get someone to fill the void that is left open at the moment. Unless you'd prefer going forward with 4?
I have not said, but yes, I prefer going forward with 5 rather than 4. I don't like the game to go on too difficult mode, and I like there is another consolidated player in case there are more losses in the future.

It's a shame seeing you go Kiley. You have been a fun addition to the group, even if it was to the annoyance of Tal at times ;).
I can understand the difficulty with keeping up. I just check the thread more often since we seem to be posting multiple times per day and our lovely GM is quick with responding to questions we post to continue the story.
Best of luck Adam, hope you can join us again later.
I think I would also prefer another character to join the group. both Vivi and Delendir are good fighters, but not soakers. I agree with your class choices (would add bloodrager to the list).
Unfortunately I don't know anyone who would be a good recruit so if you have someone in mind who fits the play and post style we have, sure.
I also agree that a replacement meat shield should be picked up and if you have someone who would fit the bill Crispy,I am fine with that.
If you do get to where you feel you can come back, please do, Jessica is going to miss the sister she never had.
Can't say I have anyone in mind. I have a few friends but I am not sure this would be their game so to speak. I can ask one in particular if you like, but leaving it up to you Crispy
I believe I have someone lined up, Vivi, but thank you. :)
*Pokes DM with pointy stick*
Everyone, this is Sunday. He'll be our fifth player going forward. I'm planning on introducing him in game shortly! Say hello!
*waves*
Yay, someone noticed me :3
Indeed, welcome!
Thankies, that's two!
Hello dude!
I think you arrive on time! Although you missed some epic moments like our elven wizard sleeping Sandpoint's kindergarden :)
I hope you make this your home soon!
Thankies x3 though as I've conferred with Crispy its probably best that the angry paranoid drunken barbarian not have been present for some of that hehe.
This group looks like a lot of fun so hopefully we'll have fun together :3
Glad to see you join, welcome and enjoy.
And Jessica makes 4! Thank you all for the warm welcome, can't wait to start playing with you all :3
Welcome Sunday! Hope you enjoy the game!
@ The Crispy One: Can you mark me as inactive, please? This will help with keeping my campaign stuff straight.
Sure thing, Kiley.
Hey Kiley, wish we could have gamed together!
Hehe Finally getting to play in a RotRL game, best birthday gift ever!
Well, happy birthday then.
Thankies ^w^
Hmm forgot to put down an age for Sunday, let's see
He's been drinking just fine so far without the aid of the legal system :3
Remember Tal, medieval setting, he is an adult by the standards of the day at 15.
So says the guy who's barely more than a toddler by Elf Standards :3
I think we can agree that 16, while young, would be considered practically an adult in such a setting. 'Regular' folks likely already have children in their early 20's, and likely have their own household at this point, as well. There was a lot less efficiency and easy living at that point, and children developed an adult-like mentality a lot earlier. Once you got that adult-like body, you were expected to contribute, but you also were treated as an adult, meaning sexual relations and alcohol were perfectly acceptable.
That being said...I'm glad things have changed. :p
