Uh, I think the IC thread disappeared.
Yea, i can't get to it either :(
Whoa! What happened?
What have we done to anger them. Has Paizo been insulted by us in some way, have we wronged our great DM!! The end is nigh!! Repent Repent!!!
It had been moved to the "Archive" for the thread. It seems there are a limited amount of "Active" threads for any given group. I guess there hadn't been enough posts lately, so it got moved to the Archives. I bumped the thread, so you should all be seeing it again.
Okay, so I'm going to play caretaker GM, in hopes that Mal shows back up again soon. If he doesn't, I'm willing to commit to a long-term position as GM, but it's very much my hope that whatever's happened to him is just a temporary thing and he'll be back in the saddle again soon. That said, he's now been missing from the boards for 10 days, so I don't think we're moving on without him too soon.
I don't see any reason to restart - we'll just keep things moving on from where they are currently, since we're so early in the game. What I'd like from everyone right now is a restatement of their current action - what are you doing and, if it seems like it might be important, how are you doing it? We'll pick it up from there.
One thing I should say is, I'm hoping to be able to keep going with the maps, but I'm not going to promise anything. They do take time, and I'm not sure how much extra time I'm going to have to dedicate to such things. We'll see, though - battlemaps are exceptionally useful in PbP, even if they're hard to do...
Anyway, let's get this moving! See you all in the Delve!
Thank you, Shisumo.
Thank you, Shisumo.
Yes indeed. Thank you very much!
Hello, all.
Well, obviously, I'm back. And, I'm pretty much okay. I've been following things here for a couple of days now, actually, but it's been hard for me to post, because I'm not sure how to explain my absence. I'm going to try, though, without getting into too much detail. I've actually started typing this post and then scrapping the whole thing a few times now. But, here goes...
First, let me sincerely apologize. I know it stinks to have people disappear from PBP games...especially the DM. It's hard to justify not giving any notice (although I'm about to try). But really, I know it makes you all wonder what's going on. Is the game dying? Is he okay? Not cool, I know, and I do appreciate those who expressed concern for me.
So, here's the thing. I have some fairly serious issues with depression and anxiety. Most of the time, life is peachy. But there are times when things get hectic and stressful (and life does that), and the wheels just sort of fall off. I manage to still go through the regular motions (work, family stuff), but I find during those times that I just can't handle anything else. And I know that I should just post and say 'Guys, I need a few days,' but I always hope that it will pass quickly, and I'll be able to pick things up without a problem. But then, I start feeling bad because the game is stalled, people are wondering what's going on...and it stresses me out more, and becomes a vicious spiral. And the next thing I know, it's been two weeks, and I wonder where the time went, and I feel better and miss my games. That's the short version, and it's probably pretty difficult to understand if you don't know someone who deals with this sort of thing.
I want to say that I really appreciate everyone who decided to jump in and pick up the reigns of the games. So, Scribbling Rambler, Xaaon, Shisumo, thank you so much for not leaving all my wonderful players hanging. This is really a great community.
For today, it's really tempting to say that I'm ready to pick up the games again, and start posting. Because, I feel up to doing that...today. But, I just don't know if I can make that commitment, knowing myself as I do. Because, it will happen again. It always does. How will I feel tomorrow, or next week, or next month?
But I miss my games, I like DMing in this format, and I think I'm even passably good at it. So what to do? I think, for now, if you all don't mind, I'll just watch things unfold with the new DMs. Maybe I can even weigh in from time to time with a comment, or maybe there could even be a way for me to contribute with maps or some sort of co-DM position? I don't know.
I would enjoy discussing this with everyone, I know that much. What do you all think?
I say, after this combat let Malvosin back in, but keep Shisumo nearby on the off chance Mal disappears again.

I am totally fine with that - that was always the plan if Mal wants it. This is your game, man, and I am just keeping the seat warm. I can keep an eye on things and if you need to, you can just say, "Hey, Shisumo, take the stick for a couple days," and I can step in. (Maybe I could play Tikk? That might be fun...) Whatever you want - you make the call.
(Just to clarify, if you're not ready yet, that's cool too - I can keep going as long as you need.)
And also, let me say, I have been exactly where you are before, and though I tend to get more into gaming in those situations (to the detriment of those Real Life things like work and school), I completely understand your situation.
Mal, that's cool. While games are fun your health and well being are legions more important. I have no problem with the game. Come and go as needed.

The whole Busy RL-Little Posting-Guilt lessens desire to post-Even less posting-Even more guilt spiral is very common in PbP games. I've suffered from it as DM and player a few times myself. The best thing I've discovered is just to be honest when you feel it coming on. This community is remarkably understanding. To quote Superman, "Confession is good for the soul."
However you end up dealing with it is fine. As others have said, RL is much more important.
Best,
BrOp
Shisumo, I'd like to e-mail you and discuss things off-board, if you are willing?

Hi folks,
Just FYI, I am away from home (in Mississippi) for this entire month, so I'm afraid that my posting will be a bit more sporadic. I don't have a internet connection where I am staying yet, so I can only post from "work", which obviously has issues. Please feel free to NPC me if necessary. I will make every effort to post, but it just may not happen some days.
Best,
BrOp
Shisumo, I just sent you an e-mail regarding where things go from here.
Thanks!
Oh hey, I haven't checked in the OOC thread for a while now. Welcome back !
Malvosin, can you help us with maps? I really liked your work with them.

Wow, thanks! Sure, let me see what I can do...
Uh, the game thread got archived. Who are we waiting on?
I'm withdrawing from this game. I thank everyone involved.
so um whats going on? is the game at an end, should we just dispand it?I am afraid so, Uran. Haven't had any signs of life for this in a while.
Anybody interested in running a new, different game? I would love to GM.
What would folks b interested in?
I would accept just about anything. If it sounds interesting, I may just apply. Of course, I would probably redo a different character than Rurik...
I would love to join a new game, both games i originally joined fizzled. I would still like to try out my Uran.
