If I had a nickel for every time I had one of those, they wouldn't be so rough.

A-freaking-men. That extra $2.60 during a really bad year would really help. Hmm, wait...
Wow this fight is nasty, sorry about the absence and great call for the DMPC action.
S'okay. Ranged healing is always a good option. Plus, you didn't have to venture into the blood slick with the rest. Ew.
Well, I'm waiting to hear back from Tarrana, but at the moment it looks like we're down to two players in Red group. I think it might be time to merge the two groups. That will consolidate my GMing attention and add a cleric and a diviner to Blue group's roster.
Wow, sorry I lost track of the discussion thread and red team. I'm amazed you've been able to keep both games running for this long.
I've been having fun watching the paths of the two groups criss-cross over each other without actually coming into contact. It's been difficult keeping things moving, but I'm enjoying myself.
I have been enjoying this immensely. Much as I think Stilgar and I work well together, we're pretty hard done by for many skills, so a merger would definitely help us out.
Agreed. The past two(!) years have been pretty amazing. As for the merger, well... with our powers combined...
captain planet?
I was actually going to say "purple," but good guess. :)
still about just need to find te time to catch up.
I only just now saw Shadowborn's PM from over a week ago, which is telling of just how much time I've had of late.
I'm going to go ahead and resign from this game. I lost track of things fairly early on, and never really recovered. That was exacerbated by my lengthy re-locating hiatus to the point where I never really felt I could catch up. On top of that I've had real-life stuff that's endangered my ability to keep my own game afloat.
I enjoyed my time with you fine folks, even though the great majority of that was, I feel, spent as a straggler. Happy trails.
To you as well, friend Brodgar.
It's been fun, Brodgar. Take care!
So out of town for a Valantine's day/Anniversary weekend. Not sure how much posting you'll see out of me before Monday. If need be DMPC me.
My posting is going to remain erratic. Got a big painting/recarpeting project going on that's eating up most of my free time. With luck it should all be done and over with in the next three or four days. Please be patient.
Bleah. House renovations have run into a writing deadline and some other things, stretching out into a big old mess. Long story short, I'll be finishing up the current activities of both groups and then combining the two, running the action until a good point where I'll be starting another thread for the combined group. I'm shooting for Sunday or Monday.
Thank you all for your patience.
Thanks for keeping us up to speed, GM. :)
Sounds good. I'm looking forward to meeting them in character.

"Seems like all we do lately is bury people- well, let's check his pockets one last time and we'll get him properly cared for..." is quite possibly the most un-Paladin-like thing I've ever heard a Paladin say. I love it.
It took a great deal of restraint to keep that "No!" from being a "Nooooooooo!"
In other news, I made it in as a finalist in the Lost Magic contest on Kobold Press. If you all would vote for my portal jaunt spell, I'd be mighty grateful.
Well done! I'll go check it out tonight.
Congrats! I admit the wording threw me off for a bit, but it seems like a really nifty spell. Think you'll add it to the spell list for this game? ;)
Anything is possible. ;)
I said I was shooting for Monday to combine the groups. I didn't specify which Monday, however. And the fact that it is now Tuesday is utterly irrelevant. ;-)
Congrats! I admit the wording threw me off for a bit, but it seems like a really nifty spell. Think you'll add it to the spell list for this game? ;)
Well, since I won, it looks like the spell will have to turn up sooner or later.

Fantastic! Well done!
Congratulations!
Great job!
Thank you much. I'm looking forward to cracking the Kobold Guide to Game Design. Should be a lot of good info in there.
I have it, it's awesome. As an aside, I have an adventure that's being published in Kobold Press's Midgard Tales anthology that comes out July-ish. Having read quite a few of the (13) adventures, I can highly recommend it to all :)
Congrats again!
Have to admit, I've always been a little nitpicky about third-party stuff, but maybe I'll give it a shot.
In other news, I couldn't help but to chuckle a bit at our new thread name. :P

Nice! I backed the Kickstarter, but didn't really follow too closely on development since I wanted to be surprised. I'm liking Midgard more and more, especially the Wasted West/Western Ocean. Now if only they'd call me on for more illustrations.

Well, we had red and blue, so I figured I'd riff off the color theme. It isn't an idle name either; there's a bit of foreshadowing in there.
I'll probably be picking up the Worldbuilding Guide with my gift certificate. One of the "things to do" still on my list is to get the Wounded Earth to a point where I can publish it as a full campaign setting.
If you need contributors, let me know!
Will do. There are plenty of areas in the world that could use fleshing out. Some will get additional treatment depending on which direction(s) the party chooses to go from here.

I love that one, it's pretty good. And yeah if you happen to be looking for collaborators I'd love to take a closer look at the world.
I'll see what I can do to get a gazetteer going and compile the various and sundry files I've got into single document.
Witches know things!
Poke- just to make sure this gets up so Jon can see we're in the new thread.
I'll send him a pm. In the meantime, here's a little player background on Erda I dug up:
Clerical Organization: Regional and Informal, no central power base
Priesthood: Mainly female, some males
Holy days: Equinoxes (Ritual of Rebirth, Harvest Festival) and Solstices (Day of Verdancy, Erda’s Promise)
Colors: Green, Brown, Black (Violets, blues, pinks, and yellows associated with the Ritual of Rebirth)
Symbols: Apple Tree; A sheaf of wheat on a field of green (usually circular); a woman’s head crowned in wildflowers, or leaves and blossoms (apple), or wheat; a Summerpole; the World Orb (a sphere, usually blue and green in color, carved with symbols of mountains, trees, and animals).
Sacred/symbolic Animals: Hare, doe, turtledove, mare.
Tenets and beliefs: All life forms that are sustained by the land are Erda’s children. Most sects believe that the intelligent races are above the others, but are careful to be reverent in their harvesting of the land, whether hunting or farming, and are aware that it is Erda’s blessing that they have such bounty at the expense of Her other children. Some more extreme sects practice vegetarianism, eating only what animal products can be acquired without harming them, i.e. eggs, milk, and honey. It is commonly believed that the status of the land reflects the health and disposition of Erda, rather than her displeasure with her followers. Offerings are given of pure spring water, and the best portions of the harvest or the finest of livestock. These offerings are consecrated upon Erda’s altars before being buried in sacred sites.
Gentlemen,
I apologize! I had no idea there was a new thread. I just thought this one had gone into slumber!
Just a note that as we get further and further into May I'll get busier and busier at my day job, so please forgive any absences on my part.
No problem. I'll nudge you into NPC mode when necessary.
Hey Shadowborn, I know I mentioned this a while back about the difference in flavor between a Witch's familiar and a Wizards. Even moreso is the concept of a Patron, expecially in a game with a theme that places emphasis on religion in the world and acceptance of belief systems.
I found this which I found inspiring.
That...looks like food for thought. Speaking of food, I'm going to go get some so I can actually have some coherence to my thoughts before I give that a good read-through.
One thing I've instituted in the Wounded Earth--though as yet your characters haven't had any experience with--are small gods. Creatures of power (dragons, elementals, fey, magical beasts, outsiders) can grant powers to disciples in a manner similar to the way gods grant them to their clerics. This ability is much more limited and the amount of disciples that can be invested in this manner is determined by the power of the creature. Disciples do not have access to domains, but they do have a patron that is much more readily at hand and able to intervene on their behalf.
That said, I like what I read in that piece. I see a few of those options being viable (not Baba Yaga, but then this world is bad enough without her in it). Any of those will still likely get Kalaya burned as a heretic or an infidel, so I'm good with it. :)
On a side note, I have a campaign running on Indiegogo to get myself to Paizocon this year. Any help in spreading the word would be greatly appreciated.
