I like the Doc.

Um, yeah. If anything, I think the Force users are a liability to the Doc. But if he wants to throw in a different character or something, that would be great. Otherwise, we'd mostly be lightsabering our way through the rest of the story.

The Doc has tentatively agreed to join us. I'll be putting up the intro thread tomorrow.

Has anyone seen any information on building a Jedi Seer using the Saga rules?

Do you mean to duplicate the SWTOR advanced class ?
If so...no. :)

I will be in and out this morning and back later this afternoon. My good friend and pastor is retiring after 58 years of priesthood and his last Mass as pastor and reception is today.

Do we need more players?

I will be in class for a few hours in case anything develops. I will be checking in from time to time on my smartphone.

Did anyone else see the new Rebels?

Doc's still around. But since it seems Chel's in charge of this particular mission, there's no real need for me to step in unless something specific is requested of my character.

I will be teaching most of the day today. Will check in if and when I can.

I hope that I am being clear. I do this once in a while as well.

It is hard to keep a game going when people, GM included, do not post frequently. There are long periods of time after a post has been made that no one will respond to them. I think maybe if we had more players that might alleviate this issue.

I've thought about this a lot. Here's the thing:

This game is pretty low on my priority list. That's not to say it's not on it, but this is what I personally deal with on a daily basis:

I have an 8 year old son for whom I have sole custody. He comes first. Always.

I have a 40 hours a week PLUS job that routinely requires me to work nights and weekends. I frequently deal with problem clients who are emotionally and mentally taxing.

I serve as a Venture Lieutenant in charge of a local Lodge of 40-60 players. I routinely GM PFS games and have to deal with issues arising between players and GMs in addition to planning Conventions and events through the year.

I have friends and family, and the occasional relationship, which requires routine attention and care.

I run a regular game over Skype for friends from college who have scattered and have families/careers of their own. It's a nice touchstone for me to keep in touch with old friends.

I run several PbP games on here. Why? Because I enjoy it and because I see a need for GMs.

I deal with miscellaneous things that arise in the course of life, such as costly home repairs, car issues and the usual adult dilemmas.

Games on PbP some times suffer, because GMing is not a simple task, especially when you're dealing with players who also have similar issues in their own lives. And being an adult, I am highly sympathetic to the real life issues that arise in players' lives; I know what that is like.

So having a player who posts frequently and complains about the pace of the game and the posting rate without seeming to be concerned with why the pace and posting rate has fallen is not a highly helpful thing.

This system, I feel, is not well-suited to the Jedi model. It models normal characters well enough, but Jedi rapidly become over-powered. I feel a system that is less rule-oriented, such as FATE would better model the cinematic feel of Star Wars.

For all of the above reasons, I am pulling the plug on this game. I simply don't have the energy to devote to it. Thank you for your time and I hope you find games that will excite you, or failing that, RUN THEM. I cannot stress this enough: if you want to see good games on a Play by Post board, you have got to run them.

Good luck and May the Force be With You.

Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Thanks for your time and effort....it is appreciated. I understand completely your reasoning, I'd love to run a game or two but know the demands would be too great to do it justice.

Happy gaming and most importantly happy parenting ☺
