Are there 4 or 5 players?

I'm thinking just four plus an animal companion.

For the record: I am a 3 star GM that is currently only running an AP on here. I am also running another AP in a home game and occasionally run PFS on a local level. I use Google Docs for maps and I try to post once a day, at least. Usually, in combat, I post more frequently. If we are in combat and you don't post on your turn, I will put you on delay after 24 hours of it being your turn (save for weekends) unless you tell me to bot you. I have run this mod before and it is both fun and challenging.

No one has the appropriate skill, sadly.

I will update when I get home from work tonight. Sorry about yesterday, I got home to an HVAC meltdown and now have to have the unit replaced. Hazzah.

Sorry, traveling internationally and may be sketchy this next week...please not me if I am up and have not posted!

Got it!

Had some stuff come up in the last couple of days that slowed me down. All is largely resolved (Or will be very soon) and I can keep you guys moving forward. Sorry about the delay!

I'm in the middle of a 40 hour weekend's worth of work that is in the midst of 9 straight 10+ hour days...so I'm really slow at the moment. After the weekend is over, I will have time to sit at my computer and get some stuff done. You can roll initiative now, if you would like!

Hey all:

I will be on a 50-mile backpacking trip to Kings Peak in Utah until Friday, and will have no connectivity whatsoever. I'll return to my mosty-posty self thereafter.

Feel free to bot me, or other players can take actions for me. See you all when I return!


M HumanCONFIRM! Level 1 PBP GM

Will do! I'm on vacation this week, but I have internet and will be trying to move forward.


M HumanCONFIRM! Level 1 PBP GM

I can not seem to find a post that I know I wrote, so I'm guessing that you lot may not have seen it. There was a note you were to have seen in the big room below...on a screen. Did the post go through and I can't find it or did Paizo eat it and I'm just now realizing it?

The important bit:

Handout #2


M HumanCONFIRM! Level 1 PBP GM

I want to offer you guys many apologies. I should have looked at your party and seen that it was going to be longer and more drawn out than it really should have been and offered to run something more...appropriate to your group's skill set. That being said, this is a horrible example of my usual speed and efficiency as a PBP GM. This scenario is not done justice play by post, especially with a party that doesn't have Knowledge Engineering (I will note this is one of the scenarios that was heavily complained about because of the tech rulings made for it, the fixed how they did things AFTER this one, but it is extra tough because of these things). We are very close to the end, so if you are still here, please send me a message with your PFS info so I can start working on sheets. And if you have a day job, roll it here. I want to be done by the end of next week at the absolute latest. Then...hopefully Paizo.com will at least close the thread, because I requested the GM status months ago...

My wife, who is 30 weeks pregnant was admitted to the hospital today. All is fine, but my posting may be more sporadic than normal. Please DMPC me as necessary.

Hey. Sorry for the radio silence. My Daughter was delivered on Saturday, the 22nd, eight weeks early. She's in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unity for the next month or so. My wife had some complications but is doing better now. We think she will be able to go home this weekend. I've been staying at the hospital with her and my daughter and haven't had time to do much but take care of and sit with them.

I hope to be active on the boards again by next Monday.

Sorry to hear that, and congrats at the same time!

Hope everyone is doing better soon!


M HumanCONFIRM! Level 1 PBP GM

I remembered you saying something about going to the hospital at 30 weeks, so I figured that it had something to do with the new child. Congrats, despite the poor situation. Nothing like being a dad. Rest well and your cert will be here when you return.


M HumanCONFIRM! Level 1 PBP GM

Elric, Ghaenk, and Leb, if you are still out there. I need PFS info to make the chronicle sheets and report! Day jobs, as well, for those that have them.

No posts from Leb since June 24...


M HumanCONFIRM! Level 1 PBP GM

I know, I didn't really expect him to post. I am at work tonight, so I will make the certs here where I can hand write and scan them. That will make it faster for me to get done and I'll report it when I get home!

Ghaenk

Elric

Telos

Let me know if those don't work! Otherwise, I'm glad we go through that, and I'm sorry it took so long, I promise I'm usually a better GM than that.

With that said, I will be running the special for the PBP gameday coming up and if any/all of you want in, it will be required that it is a fast paced affair and should be pretty interesting. Let me know!

GM Hills, the Chronicle looks great.

Thanks again for coming to our rescue. I'm fine that it took a little longer (which was also related to losing some members along the way).

Much appreciated!
