Suicide Squad

Game Master Patrick Curtin

Hi all.

I find myself tied up with job procurement intensely. I apologize I haven't updated recently. I'm attempting to carve out some time this afternoon.

Just a quick heads up:

The job situation might be accelerating soon. I might have an offer that entails me moving. I will keep you appraised, but it might mean an extended hiatus until I am resettled. Thank you for your patience

-Patrick

Hey, good luck man!

That is a GOOD problem to have!
Good luck my main Monkey! :)

oh my goodness,
Eddin is KILLIN' me!
In Both good and bad ways! ;P

Love to hate that really good/bad punster! SO much! :)

Hi folks.

I just wanted to drop another line. Things are accelerating, and I really think that my posting rate will be kind of spotty running into August. I am hoping that my life evens out before the summer is over, but with a new job, a new city, and a new apartment it might be a lot to handle.

I enjoy being your GM. I do apologize that my posting hasn't been as frequent as it was in earlier parts of my life. Bear with me, and I will do my best to advance the storyline. Just please accept that there will be delays and that I am still here, and still dedicated to the games.

Thanks!

No worries mate, real life takes precedence of course. It's a big change! And hopefully a really good one.

It's not a problem man, I'm glad thing are going well for you. I'm quite patient.

Your games are always worth waiting for Monkey! :)

Good luck on the move, and starting the new job!

Atma looks at Eddin, her eyes returning to their normal color and usual half-lidded expression. The flowing crimson gown fades into the usual black dress reminiscent of a fancy gothic maid.

"Do you mean you don't like the taste of rotten milk or sadness?" the dhampir asks with the barest hint of inflection from behind lace cuffs. "Hmm hmm." Atma seems to ponder this unexpected revelation about the sharp-tongued man.

"Man, what the heck is wrong with you, lady? I mean, grave robbing? Summoning demons? OK, I can see that. Stabbing a few dozen hookers? That's fine. But nobody, nobody likes rotten milk."

Eddin raises his arms in exasperation.

"I'm starting to think I might just be the only normal one here."

Doesn't anyone here notice this?

Lol, I noticed, just missed responding to it, my bad. :)

Actually, I'll have to admit, I'm having a difficult time keeping up with your quips Shiny! :) Nice job.

I'll try to keep up better. After all Ash, SHOULD have a comment for any occasion. His player?,... Not as much as he had thought. :P

We are just one big happy family. ;-)

The sarcophagi do not read magic, but they are possibly too thick to read whatever might be inside them.

Or, potentially, the wizard is too thick to read whatever's inside of them.

More likely!

LOL!!

Indeed! ;P

Our little group gets the award for 'Most Drama in a Dysfunctional Adventuring Group"! :D

I didn't read the original Suicide Squad, but isn't that kind of the idea?

I guess so, yeah. ;)

(I just tend to forget that I am PbP'ing with people who are so freaking talented!) ;P

Mareth snorts in what sounds like derision - at the conversation or at the effort of searching, it's hard to tell - then steps back out of the room to stare down the corridor ahead.

"Hey, meatball, did you just hear a bunch of noise a couple minutes back? I think somebody was talking, but I wasn't paying attention."

The more time goes on, the more I start to see Eddin as a smarter, more sinister humanoid version of Bucky Katt.

Just to let you guys know, I am going to be pretty busy for the next several days, I'm not sure how much chance I'll get to update (this game or others) before the end of the week. I'll see how I go, but if I go quiet, that's why.

I'll assume Mareth is clanking along, glaring at everyone

Practice makes perfect! :)

Heads up time folks. Come Saturday I will be going on vacation to Canada. In the past my cell use has been restricted by the international exigencies. I will possibly post depending on WIFI access. I will be back on a regular posting schedule 8/15

Have a great week! -Patrick

VACATION!

Enjoy! (That's an order!) :)

Travel safe, see you when you get back.

Have a great break Pat.

I'm back.. Somewhat. A lot of stuffs going on all at once

I hope you had a good holiday and keeping it together ok Pat.

STUFF that Stuffs man!

I mean Monkey,...

Ah you know what I mean! ;P

Best of luck with all of the new-ness Pat.

They say that some of the most stressful things in life are packing, moving, and getting a new job.

Maybe they're so stressful, because they tend to usually happen together?!?
;)

<Crosses fingers for Monkey, and prays.> :)

So, my long-suffering players:

I was a bit over-optomistic about my engaement level when it came to these last few weeks on Cape Cod. Things got so bad I even forgot about the NecroNomicon in Providence this weekend (which I was looking forward too-just got overwhelmed with work and moving)

I am going to try and keep you all updated, BUT

I am travelling into in partibus infidelium soon. Very soon. Like a week.

I had no earthly idea how I could have so much crap.

I am packing solo, and still working a full compliment of days up until I leave.

Please please please pardon me. I beg your indulgence as I try and rip out of my cocoon and take flight. Honsetly I don't know if things will be settled out until October.

I will attempt to keep you posted, but I felt I should give you a heads up anyway.

No problem Pat, and good luck with it all.

I’ve been somewhat busy and stressed myself recently (not quite that level of busy though) and not very focused on the game. I apologise, and am hopeful that things will calm down for me soon, maybe coinciding with Patrick getting settled in the new city and new job.

Hey, bud, you've got two chances to guess what's in this flask here. I'll give you a hint... it smells like alchemist's fire.

Nice!

That's awesome man.

Nice Shiny!

I like to draw, but I'm (a little) jealous of those who actually CAN draw! :)

Hey Pat,

Moving is crazy, starting a new job is crazy, doing BOTH at the same time is CRAY-ZAY! ;P

No worries here, we can always pick it back up! Take care, and GOOD LUCK!

(And peek in once in a while, just to let us know your OK!) ;)

DOn't let Ash fool ya.
He's very impressed with your command of the 'Language de Pun'. ;)

He'll just never admit it! :)

Ok. Quick update.

Rough weekend, but after this and a few days unpacking I should be ready to resume the game.

Oh take your time Pat!

I'm busy tearing my backstage apart at work (and putting it back together) I've not had too much time on my hands either. :(

Not as crazy as YOU, but busy. ;P

Hang in there Monkey!

I am not dead (yet), but drowning.

Updating pbps is on my schedule for Thursday, 21 september. I will post at least something in all active pbps, and schedule an hour 4x/week to do pbps after that (sat/sun/tue/thu).

To my players: sorry for the delay, and thank you for your patience.

To gms and other players: feel free to bot me if I am holding up the game.

It happens Treppa, no worries! ;-)

LOL,
All good Treppa,
As I mentioned in all of our other threads, Tis' the slow posting season for PbP's I think. Not just ours! ;)

Take care of business, it will make your return to the games all that much more satisfying! :)

Sooooooo .....

Taking a bit longer for me to get settled

I am moving closer to returning to posting

Thank you all for you patience!

Yeah, it's actually worked out well for me that a lot of the pbp games have slowed down - I probably wouldn't be keeping up otherwise.

Ditto.
Seems like my brain just doesn't want to process everything at the same time anymore.
Or maybe it's just my usual brain-draining job. ;P

Enjoy the new job Pat!
(Hm, judging by your post in the Treehouse, it looks like you already are!) ;)

Yeah, I've struggled finding the time and energy to focus on mine, so this is fine by me!

OK. It's been too long since I touched base, and that's my fault, mea culpa.

This has been a rough two weeks. For those of you that have my FB, my pup got very sick. I almost lost him. Combined with the new job and new apartment and setting up an eBay store to sell my collection of books, it's been a rough time

However, I should have some time Monday. I want to keep these games going. I apologize for the delay, it's just been a rough time trying to get square here.

Look for some updates Monday!

Copy/Paste from other thread. :)

Just Glad your ok Pat, see you when you get back to us! :D

Lol. Ok I was a bit optimistic. I had a very exhausting weekend. I won't go into the details, but I just couldn't get the energy up to get this all set. I swear, tonight it will be my top priority

Still working. Please bear with. This is a priority, but my materials are scattered and I need time to reorient myself. Thank you for your patience.

Lol. Ok. Hard dates aren't working, but I did make progress. I am working towards getting things back on track. I have my computer up and functioning, and that means I have access to my digital files. I won't say tonight, and jinx it, but certainly through to the weekend we should get the ball rolling.
