Absalom in Shadow (InnRoads) Chapter 1 - In my Time of Waking

Game Master Song of Chiroptera

I...still...live...

Professor Lennox Is still Emporer!

Who would be Chamberlain? I'm guessing Phedron. ;-)

It's been a tough slog recently. I have two side businesses in addition to my main job and a family. Keeps a man busy. :)

That would indeed keep a person busy! :)

I...still...live...

The DM is alive! Long live the DM!

I was thinking along the lines of this...

"I still function..."

...I figure one of these days I'll come back to the board and find Karl has taken over as GM. ;)

As always, thanks for the patience!

And Phedron, I don't know how you do it!

Hey can you give a recap so everyone is on the same page and we can get moving on.

Will do. Working it up now...

Have EMS on speed dial, it's a post from your low constitution GM!!

Phedron, Beckett and Lavios its your show now! Kill it!

Yeah I'd say bot Lavios, its been a few days.

Busy weeked, but I'll have a response for your searches tonight.

Good man, I'd hate to see this die.

+1

Sorry gang, super busy week! I'll get caught up today and post up!

I'm super bummed guys. Ive realized my post from Sunday got gobbled up or I just misfired it into the ether. I'll have to rewrite it tomorrow morning.

In the meantime, is there anyone still around? Just want to be sure.

I'm here. I may be swirling in the void of a month filled with crazy activity - but I'm here and waiting to see what the gnome (and quite frankly Beckett) does after Drogan put on the totem.

still here always watching, waiting and ready.

If everyone is okay with it, I would like to come back and revisit the Paladin.

I have a lot of posts to read first so I can get caught up, but would like to come home...

If all goes according to plan, I should be caught up by the weekend and ready to rejoin.

Well Nosa my first reaction is---get reading buddy because we need a paladin back in this party asap!

You already know my answer to the question, my friend.

Sorry gang. Had a family emergency this week dealing with my mom. I'm still in the midst of it right now, helping her get better. I'll try and get something posted by this weekend.

Prayers sent brother.

We will keep you in our prayers.

A friend just passed over Thanksgiving. Seems to be a lot of grief in the midst right now.

Sorry for your loss, buddy. Prayers your way too. And thanks for keeping my mom in your prayers.

I keep getting notifications of new posts, but I don't see anything new. I'm not missing anything am I?

You guys, my mother in law passed away a few days ago in her sleep. I have two small girls and a wife struggling with the loss. I am trying to run the house and help with the estate. I haven't signed on for a few days and feel horrible for the disappearance. I hope you will accept my apologies.

No worries man. Take care of your family. That always comes first.

Seems like we're all in a crazy time of year, but that'll pass. We'll get back in in a bit I'm sure.

Definitely. Family first.

I'm in the midst of a few messes now, but yeah, the dust will settle for us all I'm sure. I'll send out a notice for us to get moving again. I'm not giving up on the game!

In potentialities...would folks here be interested in a one or two night live play of the game via roll20? No recordings, just us playing these characters "face to face".

I wouldn't be opposed. Never used Roll20, but have used skype to bring people in for home games on occasion.

You know, if you intend to do that... what do you think about narrating us back to Inspitah where we might need to recoop from whatever attack might drive us back? When you're ready to get the show going, we can open up for a couple more characters and kick it off with a Roll20 event and introduce the new characters.

I can dig the first part. Flash forward a couple of days where the team is kicking their wounds and considering options.

As far as new players, do you mean recruit more?

Yes, if we wanted to add one or two more. And my meta thought was perhaps a large group of some overwhelming menace greets us at the cave entrance, pushing us back to Inspitah for the whatever to wander away again. Or perhaps something within the cave that repelled us.

Interesting, what say the rest of the group?

I'm good with whatever you want to throw at us.

I haven't used roll20, but I could learn, and I'm with Drogan, I'm good with whatever you want to throw at us

Hey everyone!

I hope that everyone had a great Christmas and New Years!

I just wanted to say that I am (finally!) ready to return!!

I would be happy to do a live play on Roll20. It is a great tool and works great.

Ok, guys, I'm going to begin the process of converting your characters over to Roll20. I'm estimating that I'll have the game set up in Roll20 by the end of the month. The goal is to transition the next phase of the game over for a 4 or 5 session run where you infiltrate the caverns beneath St Antoinnette's Academy.

Then, we can decide if we want to make the transition back to Play by Post or continue a live game.

So be thinking about schedules in the month of February and also make sure that your character profiles here on paizo are up to date.

Thoughts? Are you guys still game?

Sure, I'm game. I'll just have to see what days and times. The weekends are usually better.

So...

This is dead?

I know Jeff's trying to concoct something - but he's had several things pop up on him at once, so not sure what the progress is.

Perhaps narrate us back to town until something can be contrived?

Not quite closure, but a nice point of continuance?

Not a bad idea at all.

First off, my apologies on dumping out of this campaign without so much as a notice. I did have a bunch of things pop up, but it doesn't take more than a few moments to hammer out an update. No excuses, I owed you guys that much considering how long the game has run.

I've got some travel for work coming up, some writing deadlines to meet and I'm finishing get up the InnRoads Plays Victoriana game too. But along the way I'm going to get this going again. I'm still bonded to the idea of transitioning to Roll20 for this next scene as the party heads into the caverns. But for you guys want to keep it going here on the boards,that works too. I'll have the bandwidth to do either by mid to late April.

So bear with me. Let me know what you'd like, and we'll get back to the echoing songs of the children and the dank caverns beneath St Antoinette's academy.

Hey,,just saw you had a made a post in March. Perhaps a call to arms for those previously playing? I will check back myself each week to see what we can come up with.
