Looks like Crimson Throne has it. Apologies for the radio silence, had a couple things come up.

<p>So! Might be a couple days before I get things moving. When I do, I’ll send each of you a PM with a link to the campaign.</p>

Excited for some urban adventure!Orannis2022-11-06T22:57:41ZRe: Forums: Recruitment: Interest Check For A Likely Unpopular Idea [1E]Orannishttps://paizo.com/threads/rzs43p8w&page=2?Interest-Check-For-A-Likely-Unpopular-Idea-1E#582022-11-05T15:50:40Z2022-11-05T15:50:40Z<p>Hello everyone! No tornadoes last night, but the Paizo site did go down. I got sleepy before they came back up, hence the announcement being pushed until this morning.</p>
<p>I'm going to level with you: deciding this off of writing submissions may have actually been more difficult than selecting based on character submissions. I had an absolute delight of a time reading each and every one of your writing samples.</p>
<p>However! I <i>have</i> to make the call, and I am excited to say that...</p>
<p>Dragoncat
<br />
Elfriede
<br />
Ridge
<br />
The Lobster</p>
<p>...have been selected for the game!</p>
<p>To those who were not selected: I don't have any immediate plans to run anything else, but let's just say I'll keep an eye out for you on the boards.</p>
<p>To my four players: we have one more thing to do in this thread before I move us over to a campaign thread: selecting the AP!</p>
<p>We're going to do weighted, ranked-choice voting since we have a small number but even number of voters and a smaller selection of APs. So, vote for the three APs in order of interest. The Path that gets the overall highest votes is the one we will go with.</p>
<p>Once we nail down the AP, I'll link you to a "recruitment" thread where I'll hand out full character sheets, we'll suss out who everyone will play, and I'll give you a couple small tasks to make the characters a bit more "your own" before we get started.</p>
<p>Huge thank you to everyone who showed interest and/or submitted!</p>Hello everyone! No tornadoes last night, but the Paizo site did go down. I got sleepy before they came back up, hence the announcement being pushed until this morning.

You’ll be free to build around and out of what I have established, as well as add in any other details or personality traits you like beyond that to make the character feel more “yours”. Most of the characters have pretty straightforward builds evident at first level, however if you’d like any insight on what I had planned for them in the long term you’re welcome to pick my brain about them over PM and either utilize or disregard any of my ideas.</p>

<p>Firstly, I've decided to curate the list of available APs to something much smaller, in order to make "voting" easier and more likely to result in a clear winner. Based on expressed interest so far, I think the three choices to go with are:</p>
<p>Rise of The Runelords
<br />
Curse of The Crimson Throne
<br />
Strange Aeons</p>
<p>As such, if you choose to apply, be certain that you're happy to play any of those three APs. I'll select four players based on a (short) writing/RP example.</p>
<p>Lastly, the four selected players will vote (I'm thinking the best way to do it is ranked-choice) on which AP to play in. I'll have posted the accompanying pre-generated party members to select from for each of those three APs by that point.</p>

<p>I tend to favor flavorful/interesting archetypes and concepts, though do my best to optimize the character within the concept. Everyone is built on 20 point buy, with one campaign trait and a second trait appropriate to fleshing out the character. I tend to follow (though not 100% strictly) a party makeup philosophy of 3 CRB race characters and one character being something more exotic. Class-wise, I try to have one 9th level caster for arcane and divine (though sometimes I’ll do two sixth-level arcanes and one 9th-level divine or vice-versa), someone to handle traps and/or skill monkeying, and at least one full BAB class.</p>Louxman wrote:How far and wide have you gone with your characters?

Rise of The Runelords
Curse of The Crimson Throne
Kingmaker
Carrion Crown
Iron Gods
Strange Aeons
The Ironfang Invasion
Hell’s Rebels

<p>As there doesn’t seem to be much recruiting going on, I had an idea to throw out and get some feedback on, though I’m not expecting many to be into it (for a lot of reasons that occurred to me very quickly, but it keeps knocking around my head so let’s put it to rest).</p>
<p>I am an <i>obsessive</i> character maker, and it’s escalated to the point of regularly building entire pre-fab parties for specific APs or modules.</p>
<p>The odds of me getting to play even a fraction of these characters is extremely low, however I am quite fond of some of them.</p>
<p>So what do folks think about playing through an AP with a pre-generated party. The nuts and bolts of their backstory and their first level build would be set for you, but you’d be free to develop their personality and progression (both fluff and crunch-wise) from there.</p>
<p>Assuming anyone is interested in this idea, I figured I’d hold recruitment via short RP-writing submissions, then the selected group of four could vote on the list of complete APs I own and the pre-crafted party associated with each AP.</p>
<p>What do you think? Anyone interested in indulging me, or is not making your own character as unappealing an idea as I suspect it might be?</p>After years of inactivity, I’ve dusted off this profile in the hopes of finding some PF1E pbp.

<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>Sully will bet 2 gold pieces each round. He's saved up for this event and intends to make quite a splash.</span></p>
<p>Sully plays confidently and with skill the first two rounds:</p>
<p><span class="messageboard-dice"><b>Profession: Gamblin':</b></span> <span class="messageboard-dice">1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25</span>
<br />
<span class="messageboard-dice"><b>Profession: Gamblin':</b></span> <span class="messageboard-dice">1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21</span></p>
<p>Luck isn't with him the third round, so he decides to make a bit of his own in whatever way is appropriate, using his various hidden cheating tools:</p>
<p><span class="messageboard-dice"><b>Profession: Gamblin':</b></span> <span class="messageboard-dice">1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11</span></p>
<p>The fourth round seems him returning to top form:</p>
<p><span class="messageboard-dice"><b>Profession: Gamblin':</b></span> <span class="messageboard-dice">1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25</span></p>
<p>Round number five sees Sully feeling the need to tip the odds in his favor again:</p>
<p><span class="messageboard-dice"><b>Profession: Gamblin':</b></span> <span class="messageboard-dice">1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8</span></p>
<p>For the last round, Sully finishes strong on his own merits:</p>
<p><span class="messageboard-dice"><b>Profession: Gamblin':</b></span> <span class="messageboard-dice">1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25</span></p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>Here are the rolls for Sully's Sleight of Hand rolls to help out his poor performance in rounds 3 and 5. I have to include them at the end to keep the rolls in line, due to how the dice rolling script works:</span></p>

<p>Beyond that I am not a fan of piling on excessive layers of real-world types of awfulness in order to achieve "grimdark".

<p>Romance isn't really Sully's bag, but he's the sort to get "friendly" with just about anyone. (Though I am loathe to bring up Doctor Who, I used "pre-meeting-The Doctor" Jack Harkness as a basic skeleton for his personality.) Insofar as in-game (with NPCs or PCs), I'm fine with either not making that an active roleplay concern or, if it comes up, addressing it with a tasteful "fade to black".</p>Well, since you asked:

<p><b>What an Ectoplasmatist does:</b> I'm basically a Bad Touch Magus (i.e. my "bonus damage" comes from y'all coup de grace-ing the daylights out of enemies I paralyze). I also make a decent skirmisher, as Beatrix is quite buff and my ectoplasmic lash eventually has a natural 15' reach. Oh, and the lash is one of the better "progressively upgraded weapons as a class feature", meaning I can sink a good chunk of my WBL into other, more esoteric magical gear to increase our problem-solving versatility.</p>
<p><b>On gore:</b> I'm pretty much fine as long as it isn't, like, <i>grand guignol</i> 24/7.</p>
<p><b>Voice Actor:</b> My in-brain IMDB is not nearly as good with voice actors as it is with live-action performers, so I don't really have a good answer for this. Sorry! :-/</p>

They're a cross between a Druid and a Ranger. Their spells only go up to Level 6 (but you get access to the Druid <i>and</i> Ranger spell lists!), but they get more combat focus (martial weapon proficiency, etc.) and they still have access to the full range of animal companions, as a Druid does. </p>
<p>Additionally, they get to pick a fighting style to work in tandem with their animal companion: either archery while the companion ties up their target, or working together in melee. This is further supplemented with access to bonus Teamwork Feats that your animal companion automatically learns as well.</p>
<p>As for your "sorta goofy monster lizard" aesthetic, I've dug up a few that might fit. Unfortunately, without that Wild Rider archetype for the Druid, you won't be able to ride them until they are large. The earliest choice this happens for is at level 4 with: </p>
<p>Giant Chameleon</p>
<p>Their defenses are weak, but they get huge bonuses to Stealth while remaining stationary <i>and</i> can grapple enemies at range with their tongue!</p>
<p>There are also some fitting options that become large (and rideable) at level 7:</p>
<p>Allosaurus
<br />
Iguanodon
<br />
Pachycephalosaurus</p>
<p>All three are fairly offense-oriented. The allosaurus (similar to a T-Rex) gets Pounce, one of the most powerful abilities in the game. It allows you to use all of your attacks after a charge.</p>
<p>The Iguanodon (long, kind of hunchbacked guys with front legs similar to arms) get a x3 critical modifier on their claw attacks.</p>
<p>Pachycephalosaurus are the dinos with the big, bony skulls that they use to ram their enemies. They're a bit one-note, but their single ram attack hits like a truck.</p>
<p>••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••</p>
<p>As far as fluff: Most Druids simply worship nature, or a naturalistic philosophy. The ones that do worship a deity follow one with nature (or another a more specific naturalistic element, such as forests or oceans) in their portfolio.</p>

<p>... </blockquote><p>Just a few quick points:
<p>The stat spread you have listed includes your racial modifiers, yes? The point buy adds up properly that way, but you have the stats listed as if you paid for their direct value (ignoring racial modifiers), so I just want to make sure I'm interpreting it correctly.</p>
<p>Secondly. Going with a 9th level casting class with a race that has a stat penalty for that class's spellcasting stat can be a tough road. Remember, you need a stat of 10 + Spell Level to cast a spell, which means you'll be pouring every level-up stat increase into Wisdom to keep up with the joneses as it were. I'm not trying to discourage you from playing what you want, I just want to make you aware of mechanical challenges you may face. (If you perhaps want to look at other classes with pets as a major mechanic, I can help out with some suggestions.)</p>
<p>On the fluff side of things, Druid is a class with •very• specific roleplay characterization/flavor to it, and Fetchlings are a race with similarly specific but very different trappings. I very much doubt this reminder is necessary for you, but remember to put a lot of work into weaving those two disparate aspects together!</p>
<p>Lastly, some stuff on available rules materials (to clarify some things for <i><b>everyone</b></i>): Fetchlings aren't on my standard list of races I typically lay out for players, but we discussed you playing one some time ago so no worries there. Next, the archetype you selected is from a third party publisher (i.e. not Paizo). I typically don't allow that material because it often lacks the unity of design philosophy that Paizo-official material possesses. This typically manifests in one of two forms: being wildly overpowered or occupying tonally dissonant design space.</p>
<p>However, Wild Rider is merely very niche and, honestly, probably a bit weaker than a baseline Druid, so I don't mind allowing it. The long and short of all that being: I don't typically allow 3rd party material <b>BUT</b> if you see something that <i>really</i> makes your character idea sing, run it by me and I'll decide if it's something I want to allow or not.</p>
<p>In general, loving the basic idea of the character! I dig the innkeeper background a lot!</p>Lishaleaf wrote:Hello Everyone~ I am so so excited to be all playing again!! I can't wait to meet all our characters. ^___^

<p>The Dragon's Demand finds the PCs in the remote Taldan town of Belhaim, where they will become wrapped up in all sorts of intrigue surrounding the town's history, an eccentric local wizard, and a fearsome dragon!</p>
<p>———————————————————————————————————</p>
<p><b>Belhaim At a Glance</b></p>
<p>Belhaim is a sleepy Taldan backwater located on a lesser trade route between Dunholme and Wispil within the Verduran Forest near a region of the woods known as Dragonfen. A lesser tributary of the Verduran Fork runs along the southern side of the town, connected to the main road by a covered wooden bridge. Belhaim was founded in 3672 AR by Tula Belhaim, a famed dragonslayer who was awarded stewardship over the Verduran Fork and Dragonfen region for her exemplary service during the Dragon Plauge. Over the centuries, as a result of tragedy and failed rebellion, stewardship of the area eventually ended up in the hands of the Devy family, who rule to this day. A handful of human generations past, an earthquake flooded the town's limestone quarry and eliminated much of Belhaim's economic relevance.</p>
<p><b>Factions</b></p>
<p>Nearly all of Belhaim's residents belong to one of the three dominant religions in the town, which more or less define the town's political lines.</p>
<p>Worshipers of Abadar want to see Belhaim prosper as a trade center once again and, deprived of the limestone quarry, seek to drain the Dragonfen and use the land for agricultural prospects. They regard the Shelynites as layabouts.</p>
<p>Followers of Shelyn essentially prefer the town as it is: cozy, a bit remote, and far away from any real action. They view the Abadarans as greedy, overly traditional, and unable to enjoy the simple pleasures of life.</p>
<p>Adherents to the Green Faith are largely patient and even-handed, and find the town's political squabbling tiresome.</p>
<p><b>Character Hooks: Notable NPCs</b></p>
<p>Lady Origena Devy and Aarnholde Devy:
<br />
Lady Origena is the region's Baroness, and is a pragmatic woman who likes to see things running smoothly. She's also eager to see Belhaim "put back on the map". She could potentially be a useful resource or connection for PCs seeking dealings with Taldor's nobility. Arnholde is her adult son, next in line for stewardship of the region.</p>
<p>Balthus Hunclay:
<br />
A reclusive, sour old Wizard who moved to Belhaim a few years ago. His name is not particularly well-known in arcane circles, but he could be a useful resource for PCs seeking answers to mysteries of a magical nature.</p>
<p>Bassy:
<br />
The oldest resident of Belhaim, she is a gnome in her 414th year who's managed to avoid The Bleaching. She is belhaim's primary historian, and could serve as a family or social connection for gnomish PCs or player characters interested in the history of the Dragonfen, Tula Belhaim, and/or the Dragon Plague.</p>
<p><b>Character Hooks: Events and Environs</b></p>
<p>Kobolds in the Woods: A tribe of green-scaled kobolds has lived somewhere between Belhaim and the Dragonfen for some time. A peace built on mutual disinterest between the town and the tribe has been the norm for generations, but with reports of some townsfolk and travelers going missing, perhaps that has changed?</p>
<p>The Monastery: A long forgotten, and presumably abandoned, monastery to Irori was established in the Dragonfen not long after Belhaim was founded. The monks there vanished around 4500 AR under mysterious circumstances, but rumors the monks were researching knowledge heretical to Irori surface from time to time.</p>
<p>Trade Caravan: Not much trade stops through Belhaim these days, but a man named Silas Gribb offered you 50 gold just to sign on as a caravan guard on a trip to Faldamont. A princely sum for such simple work! Though you do note that Silas comes off a bit shady...</p>
<p>——————————————————————————————————</p>
<p>If you have any other questions about Belhaim that would fall under "something pretty much anyone could find out by asking someone on the street" please ask! Also ask if you'd like some additional information on any of the character hooks I suggested (and feel free to combine, mix, and match those hooks!). Ideally, I'd like one of your two Traits to reflect/tie in to whatever hook you choose/create.</p>Aaaaand here's some general info for our module: The Dragon's Demand!

She's a Rogue(Scavenger/Underground Chemist) with a VMC to Alchemist. The role she is built for is tech tinkering and skill-monkeying out of combat, and in combat she's a skirmisher/artillery mix uniquely suited to dealing with technological threats.
Her crunch is on the alias (I need to beef her up a bit, she was built on 20pts).
I do not have any experience with PFS,...Kaziya Hellfallen (alias of Orannis)2016-01-24T02:21:28ZRe: Forums: Recruitment: DM Orranis' Dragons Demand Recruitment (closed)DM Orannis (alias of Orannis)https://paizo.com/campaigns/DMOrranisDragonsDemand/recruiting&page=4#1672015-12-10T02:16:47Z2015-12-10T02:16:47Z<p>I haven't!</p>

<p><b>Belhaim At a Glance</b></p>
<p>Belhaim is a sleepy Taldan backwater located on a lesser trade route between Dunholme and Wispil within the Verduran Forest near a region of the woods known as Dragonfen. A lesser tributary of the Verduran Fork runs along the southern side of the town, connected to the main road by a covered wooden bridge. Belhaim was founded in 3672 AR by Tula Belhaim, a famed dragonslayer who was awarded stewardship over the Verduran Fork and Dragonfen region for her exemplary service during the Dragon Plauge. Over the centuries, as a result of tragedy and failed rebellion, stewardship of the area eventually ended up in the hands of the Devy family, who rule to this day. A handful of human generations past, an earthquake flooded the town's limestone quarry and eliminated much of Belhaim's economic relevance.</p>
<p><b>Factions</b></p>
<p>Nearly all of Belhaim's residents belong to one of the three dominant religions in the town, which more or less define the town's political lines. </p>
<p>Worshipers of Abadar want to see Belhaim prosper as a trade center once again and, deprived of the limestone quarry, seek to drain the Dragonfen and use the land for agricultural prospects. They regard the Shelynites as layabouts.</p>
<p>Followers of Shelyn essentially prefer the town as it is: cozy, a bit remote, and far away from any real action. They view the Abadarans as greedy, overly traditional, and unable to enjoy the simple pleasures of life.</p>
<p>Adherents to the Green Faith are largely patient and even-handed, and find the town's political squabbling tiresome.</p>
<p><b>Character Hooks: Notable NPCs</b></p>
<p>Lady Origena Devy and Aarnholde Devy:
<br />
Lady Origena is the region's Baroness, and is a pragmatic woman who likes to see things running smoothly. She's also eager to see Belhaim "put back on the map". She could potentially be a useful resource or connection for PCs seeking dealings with Taldor's nobility. Arnholde is her adult son, next in line for stewardship of the region.</p>
<p>Balthus Hunclay:
<br />
A reclusive, sour old Wizard who moved to Belhaim a few years ago. His name is not particularly well-known in arcane circles, but he could be a useful resource for PCs seeking answers to mysteries of a magical nature.</p>
<p>Bassy:
<br />
The oldest resident of Belhaim, she is a gnome in her 414th year who's managed to avoid The Bleaching. She is belhaim's primary historian, and could serve as a family or social connection for gnomish PCs or player characters interested in the history of the Dragonfen, Tula Belhaim, and/or the Dragon Plague.</p>
<p><b>Character Hooks: Events and Environs</b></p>
<p>Kobolds in the Woods: A tribe of green-scaled kobolds has lived somewhere between Belhaim and the Dragonfen for some time. A peace built on mutual disinterest between the town and the tribe has been the norm for generations, but with reports of some townsfolk and travelers going missing, perhaps that has changed?</p>
<p>The Monastery: A long forgotten, and presumably abandoned, monastery to Irori was established in the Dragonfen not long after Belhaim was founded. The monks there vanished around 4500 AR under mysterious circumstances, but rumors the monks were researching knowledge heretical to Irori surface from time to time.</p>
<p>Trade Caravan: Not much trade stops through Belhaim these days, but a man named Silas Gribb offered you 50 gold just to sign on as a caravan guard on a trip to Faldamont. A princely sum for such simple work! Though you do note that Silas comes off a bit shady...</p>
<p>——————————————————————————————————</p>
<p>If you have any other questions about Belhaim that would fall under "something pretty much anyone could find out by asking someone on the street" please ask! Also ask if you'd like some additional information on any of the character hooks I suggested (and feel free to combine, mix, and match those hooks!). Ideally, I'd like one of your two Traits to reflect/tie in to whatever hook you choose/create.</p>
<p>Feth and CaptainFord, I'll have a little extra background info to send you. And Ford, if you wan to work out some connection with the Kobold tribe in the area I'd be happy to hash that out with you.</p>
<p>Please chime in when you've got your characters 100% done so that I may audit them!</p>Here we go, folks!

<p>As much as I enjoy Carrion Crown, and as enamored as I am with my character (even if I am still sketching out a few details), I thinking it may be best for me to bow out. A great deal of the posts have been coming at times (in my location) that are difficult for me to be active during (either particularly early, when I am on my way to or already at work, or particularly late when I need to be getting my sleep).</p>
<p>I realize that the nature of PBP means I don't have to be on right at the moment everyone else is, but it is difficult for me to orient myself within the narrative when 5 to 7 posts of development or interaction have progressed by the time I have a chance to post.</p>
<p>And this is not a gripe at all of you! You are all lovely, as are your characters (seeing a Changeling Bloodrager was an "I wish I'd thought of that" moment for me). </p>
<p>My concern is largely that •my• schedule make •me• a poor fit for the campaign. (This is largely a symptom of the greater concern that my work responsibilities are requiring more of my time than I initially realized: I recently had to drop out of one of my two in-person Pathfinder groups as well!)</p>

<p>Apologize for being a ghost, but I was trying to keep a rainstorm from murdering a bunch of comics in my store.</p>
<p>I've never used Hero Points in Pathfinder, but do not object to them and am familiar with the rules. (Also, I've played other games that use similar mechanics, so I should take to them just fine.)</p>
<p>Never done Cards of Fate, and I'm not familiar, but I can certainly read up on them. I can't imagine I'd have any issue with them being used, so count me in as for it.</p>
<p>Regarding the custom weapon I have for Maryska (a telescoping metal baton), the previous GM just had me treat it as a Sword Cane with a bludgeoning damage descriptor instead of slashing. This mostly works, except for the issue of proficiency, and that's how I factored it in to Maryska's stat block and character creation purchases.</p>
<p>Regarding the proficiency issue, I see two possibilities: We can go with the "Sword Cane, but..." version and just handwave my proficiency with it. Or, in order to avoid giving me free goodies, go with my original proposal: It's effectively a Light Mace and the "telescoping metal baton" bit is just dressing.</p>
<p>My reasoning is this: No dedicated slayer of undead would be caught dead (har har) without a bludgeoning weapon of some sort to deal with skeletal undead. However, a light mace just does •not• fit the very specific aesthetic I have in mind for Maryska. A mace, even a light one, is just too "obvious" a weapon for how she does things.</p>Hey all!

<p>Tragedy had long ago numbed her to effects of loss, and her faith had helped her learn to process and accept it when it did occur.

Truly, it was her faith in the Lady of Graves alone that pushed her here.</p>
<p>She regretted her hesitance at serving as a pallbearer, a function she had performed so many times in her life in the church that it had nearly lost meaning. But she was already off her bearings, and being asked to help a bunch of strangers carry a man, who's meaning to her was still nebulous, to his grave made matters all the worse.</p>
<p>Walking some feet behind the procession, she saw it halt at the villager's assistance the professor would not be interred at the local graveyard.</p>

She was built for a homebrew PbP I did not get selected for, but I am rather enamored with the character. Her background and crunch are all on this alias.</p>
<p>She's an Urban Barbarian built with an eye at being effective at fighting multiple opponents at once. This will be accomplished mainly through the Urban archetype and the Spirit Totem rage power chain as well as Cleave feats. She's also got a bit of interaction skill. She was built on 15 points, and with the higher point buy for this game I will likely invest in her Strength and Charisma (for Spirit Totem potency).</p>
<p>The homebrew was set in Varisia, so a great majority of her background and fluff will be unchanged as it is tied very strongly to the region. I'll just have to change some location names, such as the small town she's from. As for impetus to travel to Sandpoint/campaign trait selection, I am probably going to to take Giant Hunter and say that the village she's from was destroyed by marauding giants. As to the mystery of her parents, I have their sad tail written up and can PM it to you if you like.</p>

I'll have to discuss strategy for our end of things with Grutsnick after this in order to increase the likelihood we'll survive this.Roland Red-Hand (alias of Orannis)2011-07-10T21:20:15ZRe: Forums: Play-by-Post: Jormungandr - Pirates of the AbendegoRoland Red-Hand (alias of Orannis)https://paizo.com/threads/rzs2mi0w&page=2?Jormungandr-Pirates-of-the-Abendego#932011-07-08T23:28:55Z2011-07-08T23:28:55Z<p>His face serious, but his eyes laughing, Roland adds:<b> "Grutsnick, my good man, I believe it was •both•." </b></p>His face serious, but his eyes laughing, Roland adds: "Grutsnick, my good man, I believe it was *both*."Roland Red-Hand (alias of Orannis)2011-07-08T23:28:55ZRe: Forums: Play-by-Post Discussion: Jormungandr - Pirates of the AbendegoRoland Red-Hand (alias of Orannis)https://paizo.com/threads/rzs2mhzv&page=2?Jormungandr-Pirates-of-the-Abendego#552011-07-08T19:44:19Z2011-07-08T19:44:19Z<p>In regards to current events in-game:</p>
