I might go with "Iranaset wandered away in the middle of the night, by the time anyone thought of looking for her, she was gone."
I'm not planning to recruit more players unless one or two more people drop out, so yeah, feel free to drop back later in the future.
Does this mean I can proceed with my plan to kill Inraset and steal her body?oh no you don't.
I have only 3 party members that are alive and are still able to be charmed, completely overwhelmed by hormones and level drained into submission.
Some rotting, bony thing abandons the party, you are free to dispose of it however you want.
If it can still be affected by succubus pheromones, that's my property.
You know, if you become an Agent of the Grave you can effect Undead with mind effects as though they were alive...

I can teach you, apprentice.
That was going to be my line! She's going to be my familiar!

I recognize a tiny Sith when I see one.

Delyliath likes you... really.
But really, why would she be interested in affecting undead?Vampires maybe. But most undead are disusting things that should just be erased from existance. they usually offer nothing of any value.
at least Anaxian povides her with fancy jewelry.
Although is baffòedby the concept of dracoliches. she will speakyou about it eventually.
Sounds good to me.
I'm going Agent of the Grave next level, so I'll be able to do the mind effecting stuff to undead for you (just not nearly as well).
I actually really enjoy our in game interactions. We make a great Odd Couple.
I'm going to need a few days to level up. It's going to take me a while and I'm crunched for time right now.
I'm doing another summoner level unless someone has a Very Good alternative suggestion. More to the point, if anyone has any spells they think I should learn, speak now or forever hold your peace.
That's fine. Nothing that happens during leveling is really crucial (unless you guys want to start an extra big, complicated combat right away), so take your time about it.
Yays, more warlordiness. :)
Go go Anaxian espousing the benefits of undeath. Makes this old necromancer proud.
So, uh, hello? We seem to have stalled out.
Yup. Not sure what's happening.
Still here
Been checking in roughly every 8 hours. Didn't want to but into Delyliath and Anaxian's scene, but if you guys want me to start another one, I'm fine with that.
I too was awaiting the scene to end, and to see if the advanced party was actually going to do anything before the rest of us got there, as per Dapper's post.
Ah, yeah, I wasn't sure what was going on, but I think it's fine to move on? I was going to add some tips/optional railroad stuff to get things moving, but I've been super busy over the last week (moving to a new apartment and writing a 40-page candidacy report).
I'm pretty sure we're cool with just having town info and waiting for the rear party to get here before attempting risky maneuvers.
If nobody else wants to try anything else, they've arrived.
Don't worry about our scene. If there's more to be said we can assume we were interested and pick it up again another time.
Starting a European business trip. Internets will be sporadic. And time zones confusing.
Anyway, we dove straight in last time, so what you guys say we flip a coin for which of the two possible alliances we go to hang out with first?
Works for me. Just roll 1d2 and decide who's even and who's odd.
Can do that, or we can split the party if people want to ally with both.
There are advantages to playing both sides against each other. I say do both.
Checking in. Looks like we have stalled a bit
Yeah. Sorry about that! I've been in a bad place at work the last week or so, and haven't had the time/energy to write out any long bits to drive the story forward. This may continue a few weeks into the future, depending on how well I'm able to dig myself out of this hole.
I don't think it's entirely your fault. I asked the group if they were up for a course of action and got two replies.
Hey, I gave my suggestions.
Indeed, you suggested a few courses of action, but then never joined the discussion of how we should go about doing that.
Not trying to pick a fight, but yours was the only post after mine. I'm waiting to see what others think of my suggestion. Illia's response has been noted, but there's a fair amount of others who I want to hear from as well.
Back now.
Hi guys! So in the last month, I've spent two weeks trying to get internet in my apartment, then another two weeks working on my candidacy report (a 15,000-word paper I wrote over the course of four days) and generally trying not to drop out of grad school.
Basically, I've been free enough to respond to any actions people want to take, but not free/creative enough to come up with more stuff on my own. I'm almost done with my candidacy examination stuff, though, and if nothing much happens by next week, I've got some plot helpers to insert.
Well, good luck on the candidacy exam. That's a big hurdle to clear!
Glad we're back in business.
Heh! It's not over until friday, but I did my practice run today and my advisor said my presentation was "a good first run," implying that he doesn't want me to fail.
I think this game needs a GM kickstart.
So... it looks like I didn't pass my candidacy exam. I've got about two months to fix my research and redo it, but the prognosis isn't too optimistic, and I'm going to have to work pretty hard over the next few months.
I started this campaign when I was at a pretty low point in grad school, so maybe I'll try to run some more things along as an escape like I did before, but I can't guarantee I'll have the motivation.
Guys, I think we may need to perhaps run subplots for a bit (Two months perhaps? :P). Develop our characters, interact. Do stuff.
The hard part is doing so without infringing on the setting.. So, open to ideas, guys?
Dapper, I've enjoyed the game so far, but its only worth it if its fun for you. i don't want it to become work.
I'm perfectly willing to be in a slow paced game, so as long as you are interested I don't care how infrequent updates are. I'm sure the pendulum will swing the other way eventually.
So, if you don't want to jump into complex stuff, slowly exploring a crow city sounds interesting to me. If you're willing to present us with something to discuss once every week or two, I think we can keep this game alive.
There's the risk that some folks will jump ship because they don't like slow games, but that's ok too. I've seen plenty of cases where a small group of die-hards have kept a game afloat.
Believe me, I've only ever posted when it feels fun. Right now my concern is whether I can shore up my experiments to get things working in the time I have left to prove myself. If everything goes well (and it never does), this entire project should only take two weeks to get from my next restart (which I started on wednesday) to having the majority of the data I need for a paper. But we'll see.
Well, I'm here for as long as I need to be. I am in enough games that checking the boards has become a daily habit. I'm not going anywhere and I'm patient. Take the time you need and If you still feel like running this game when everything is sorted out, you'll definitely have at least one player still here.
I'm sure there will be a couple others with similar thoughts. Anyone who decides this isn't the game for them we can do without or replace.
(no offense folks. I know slow games aren't for everyone)
I'm here till this game dies a horrible death :P
But seriously, much like Doomed, I am in enough games that I too am on here all the time.
This is game is awesome, and I really like both the overall concept as well as Dris.
Take the time you need. Real life comes first.
My condolences -- I'm sure you'll manage to pull it out over the next two months. I'm still here,.... and happy to act as a sounding board if you want to complain about academic life, for that matter.
