I'm of the understanding the DM is swamped with real-life.
You are the forth oil worker I game with on this site. What is it with that profession and roleplaying?

Long work weeks at remote camps filled with hairy men and testerone makes one homesick for something other then the smell of diesel, crude oil and the stories of a single man's ability at conquering the brothels of Thailand. :p
I prefer the company of temple priestess and samurai thank you! Especially after 6 years of the above info. It gets old reallllllllllllllly fast...
Hi everyone, I want to apologize, sincerely, for my utterly unexpected two-week absence. Some travel mishaps (just annoyances and delays, nothing dangerous) got me home late from that last tour, which put me behind on a death-march kinda project at work, the long hours of which put me behind on my studio work...you get the idea. Things got completely ridiculous really fast. In the end, something had to give, and I got to the point where I was terrified to even come out here and check the threads 'cos I knew I wouldn't be able to devote the time to replies that you all deserve.
Anyway, back now, catching up, posting.
Oh, and also; I know that in general I tend to take basically everything more seriously than folks around me, so I'm also sorry if this all just sounds silly. But I do mean it.
Good to have you back.
I believe we are waiting for the ninja in the initiative, yes?
That would be a great class ability - Spontaneous Leveling.
Broken...but great.
We could write haikus
To express our shared desire
To resume playing
Autumn dragon eye
Font of life years uncounted
Before she drowns blink
Just joined the campaign
Had hopes of punching ninjas
The monk sighs in spring
Renewed river of RP
Flowing all around
Here I stand, frozen
DM's phone number
We could all text him hourly
Who wants it right now?

We are Facebook friends
I can post on his timelineI have seen his beard
Alright, for real, i'm going over to his house and stare at him until he posts
Spiders do not stop
Spinning of their silken webs
unless Dan won't post
Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump
Bump Bump Bump Bump Winter Bump
Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump
The mists are looming;
six souls lost among the cloud
wait for a fresh breeze.
BUMPITY.
I saw a wild DM Downrightamazed tonight. I swear! I took photos, but the lens cap was on. But he is out there.
Howdy! Thanks so much for checking in, man, I appreciate it. I'm still just completely swamped. Every time I think I'm getting my head above water, I get yanked back down. I promise I haven't forgotten about y'all, I have every intention of getting things kicked back into gear. There's still a lot of story to tell...
A wild DM Downrightamazed appears!
Dave Herman uses guilt trip.
It's super-effective!
I wanna play soooo very bad...
Bringing the OOC convo back over here---you KNOW, I don't know that we can throw ourselves a level, but ...I'm actually totally up for the idea of writing a flashback for our characters to pass the time and get back into the feel.
The question is-where is the best place to do that?
I suppose it could go up on either here or the gameplay thread, though if it is the latter, we should probably prefix the entry with something like -------- xx years ago -------- and hide it under a spoiler tag, just to minimize any confusion when our glorious leader returns to us...
Bleargh. Apparently I needed to pull a Bill Watterson there and take two straight sabbaticals. Yeesh. >_< I was gonna write another apology/explanation, but I figure everyone would prefer it greatly if I used that energy just to post, instead, so that's what I'm gonna do. :-)
Life is beyond ludicrously busy for me right now, so I still may miss a day or two here and there, but I am committed to my games. Thank you all for sticking around despite those lacunas.
Now, back at it.
Apologies for the blatant "reset button" on the fight in the streets, guys, but it was just easiest for getting back into things...
THAT! is why I am so glad you are back DRA.
Leaving work to going play at my live game right now, it will give me time to compose a fitting response.
Oh, hey, Na-Calanon. Has Damian met the other two?

You mean Illuminata and Lilitine? He has not, actually, although if Professor Luckbender were around, he would be well acquainted with both of them. Lesotho has not been a big factor in the PbPs just yet, but that's about to start changing. My IRL games are well-acquainted with Lesothan troops, and Minathiel, Bardas, and Nurianna have even taken counsel with the General at a gathering in H'Arun, called by the king of that place, King Faruq Ibn T'ha Ibn Melor Ibn Benen Ibn L'had, to discuss certain matters.
This is getting fun now. Need to post backstory ASAP. Oh, and Dan, I'll be putting up Kai's backstory soon as well.
Awesomeness! That would help tremendously.
Boy! Does my 'Big Sis' know how to make an entrance or what?? : D
Who else shows up with not one, not two, but, like, 9( right?) dragons on the scene??
She always has done Lesotho proud.
And happy to hear the best city in the world will soon be featured more prominently! 'Bout time the world heard we women roar!
Not a biggie but just curious, would Aylaeth have any knowledge of or relationship with this Calla?
And hey! Luckbender ain't got nothin' on Ayleath's connection to Lesotho! Didja forget her?? : (
And no, I hadn't forgotten Aylaeth. Luckbender's was the first name that came to mind for various reasons. No offense meant. :-)
Welp. I got nothing. *waits to see what happens*
