Please us this for role-playing prior to the recruitment process and for out-of-character discussion.

Thank you GM, looking forward to this! I did the dot + delete thing in the game play thread (some GMs on these boards seem to favor that since it doesn't clutter the thread). Are you looking for anything specific from the first post?
I have a roll20 account from playing another game here, although I don't really know what I'm doing with roll20 :) Profile name is Caitlyn Weissman (name of my character from this game), is that what you need to invite?
WhtKnt |
Nope, I'll set the stage when everyone has checked in. Just take a look at the first post on the Gameplay thread.

I used the google translate thing for languages before, it seems to work pretty well. WhtKnt do you like that idea or would you prefer we just use a spoiler only?
WhtKnt |
Same, so far as languages go. I usually mangle another language in the text and spoiler the English version.

I try to make one post a day, at a minimum. Some days, it doesn't happen, but I will try. My days as a retiree tend to be far more busy than when I was working full-time. I do not usually post on weekends (as I am usually at a con or some other event), but if I have a Saturday afternoon free, I might slip a post in.
If the game seems to be slowing for lack of a single person posting, I will bot them and nudge them in messaging. If it continues to be a problem, they will be dropped.
Most of my die rolls are above board. I enclose them in a spoiler called, oddly enough, Dice Rolls, which you may feel free to look at. If I do make a hidden roll, it will be in the GM Screen spoiler.

Since I have heard no objections, I am going to assume that everyone is good with Roll20 for maps. I'll post the link here when I get the game established. I still need everyone's Roll20 identity.
My maps will be very "old-school," because I have them in that format already (so no extra work for me), and because I really don't have time to build them in Dundjinni (or any other mapping program). I do, however, have a Roll20 subscription so we will be using VBL (vision-blocking layers).
Tasius Augustus |
I guess we're all good to go?
Tasius Augustus |
Eristinian, depending on what you want to ask the Alchemist, you might be able to resolve that using earlier spoilers? That way you can talk to him and we get the ball rolling on the goblin hunt at the same time :)
WhtKnt |
Yeah, that's no problem. We can handle it in flex time.

Posting this in all my games:
Some of you may or may not be aware, but my wife has glaucoma which has already claimed the sight in her right eye and is eating away at the vision in her left. To further complicate matters, she had a cataract removed from her left eye, but during the operation, there was some minor temporary damage to the optic nerve. Long story short, it should heal in two to three months, but until then, I am her official reader. She can make out blurred images of people and if they speak, she is pretty good at recognizing voices, but she can't read anything.
Further, I am the only one of us who drives, since her vision started getting worse last year, so I have to take her to any and all doctor's appointments. About once every two weeks, she has to go to Tulane in New Orleans, about 90 miles away (and that's not to mention local appointments, errands, shopping trips, etc.). So if I seem slow to respond or post, please bear with me. If I am a player, bot me as needed. If I am your GM, rest assured that I have not forgotten you. I may just have had a hella busy day.

Just a heads up, heading out of state for Christmas and will be without reliable internet access. I should be back by next Tuesday. Sorry for the inconvenience; please bot me if necessary.
WhtKnt |
Just so everyone is aware; convention season is upon us again! I serve as the Game Operations Director (that is, the Director of the Game Room) at CoastCon, a local convention in 1.5 months, and this takes up a lot of my already pressed time. So if I am slow to update or respond, please bear with me and bot me as needed.
Tasius Augustus |
Folks I'm going on my semi-annual transatlantic business trip and will be traveling this weekend and next. I expect to have internet access at the hotel so I should be able to post, but I may be slower at responding than usual. Please bot if needed.
WhtKnt |
We're one week out from the convention. As such, my time is getting crunched pretty badly. I'll try to check in as much as possible until Wednesday, after that, don't expect to hear from me until Monday. Please bot me as necessary. If I'm running your game, I ask for your patience. We will continue!
Galfon Tellow |
Really sorry about the slow (well, nigh nonexistent, really) posting. I confess that I'm not really used to dungeon crawls on PbP. I could at least post to let everyone know I'm still alive, though. :P
Caelryl |
Good to know you're still around. I was beginning to think there were just 3 of us left. I think we lost the cleric. Hasn't been an issue yet but would get difficult when we eventually get into a battle.
WhtKnt |
Yeah, I think that O'Grady dropped out, but I copied his profile, so I'll keep him on as an NPC (or we can run a recruitment, you guys' call).
Tasius Augustus |
I'm taking the family off on holiday from Saturday till 29th August. We're going on a cruise so there'll be days where I don't have internet. I'll try to post when I can but it's probably best to bot me as needed.
Eristinian the Younger |
I am leaving for GenCon in a few hours, and will have limited access to the internet during that time. I will probably be back on Monday, August 22, assuming the eclipse does not portend the end of humanity's existence.
WhtKnt |
I should like to take this opportunity to apologize that the game moves slowly. I am very busy and cannot devote as much time as I would like to this game or my others, but I do still enjoy running them and I'm glad that you all choose to stick with it. Many players would have given up on the game when it stalls, but you didn't and I thank you for that.
WhtKnt |
Okay, bad news on my end. My computer is down for what duration I cannot say. I might be back online in a few days, it may be a few weeks. Needless to say, this suspends my gaming. I can log on through my wife's computer, but I cannot access any of my files. Hopefully, this will be resolved within a week. Please bear with me.
If I am in your game, bot me as necessary (though I will try to log on once a day).
If you are in one of my games, I don't know what to say. I will try to keep things moving as best I can with what I have to work with, but as I said, my files are inaccessible right now. Just hang in there and we'll be back!
WhtKnt |
Thanks to my loving and understanding wife, I got a new system, so I'm back in business. The question stands; what next, gang?
WhtKnt |
Yes, that's fine. I hope to replace him when you are next in town with another player.

This week has been extraordinarily busy thus far (today was Christmasing the house), and tomorrow looks to be the same, but I will try to post something by tomorrow evening in each of my games. Please excuse the delay.
WhtKnt |
With the imminent approach of Christmas, I am going to be out-of-touch from the 20th-27th. My brother-in-law is treating my wife and me to a trip to Disney World so that she can see the Christmas decor before her vision is completely lost. To that end, I will be unable to post during that time. If I am in your game, please bot me as necessary. If you are in my game, I will try to find the time before Wednesday to make a brief post, but the game will be suspended until Dec. 28th. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a very Happy New Year to all!
