Oh, I didn't read the thread, just commenting that their (your) game is dead in the water as ours is. Sounds like an adventure!
Where's our GM?
He's stuck in RL mode.
o/~ Well we are living here in Allentown.o/~
It's been over a week now, and still no GM, it's getting more worry some.
He may not come back for a while. Like...a while. After 3 months of inactivity, the campaigns close on here--but we are posting, so that keeps it open.
The council of truth was a group of wizards who used an owl emblem as their sign. Some time ago they disappeared from Kear Maga under mysterious circumstances. Our GM also uses an owl emblem - and also disappeared under mysterious circumstances recently.
Coincidence? Or part of a bigger conspiracy?
Hmmmm
Aliens did it.
So given the time lapse,
what do we want to do?
Head SOuth I believe
So do we recruit a new GM, wait some more, or let the game die?
is it possible to recruit a new GM? :D
should be, it has happened before.
I'm willing to wait, at the moment. I've got a few other games going on too so I'm plenty occupied.
I have a few more more games as well and can wait
I'm in favor of waiting a while longer, too. I really don't want this game to die, and I would like to finish it with the original cast (including Idyll as our GM).
In the meantime, is anyone interested in passing the time with an inconsequential mini-adventure where a bunch of newly ascended gods (us and the skeletton snake) have to find out why all the owls are disappearing from Kaer Maga, what is taking these golems so long to conquer Golarion, how to control half-elf birth rates, and why there aren't more visitors in the wild animal and water ride park?
Then let's set a deadline.
if our GM does not return by then, we decide on what to do.
Okay, lets start talking about a replacement GM if we don't hear back from Idyll within the next eight weeks.
He's already burned 4 weeks,
So on October 1st we recruit a new GM.
I meant counting from today. I'm aware that its been a month already.
We'll vote on the deadline as a group,
Either Oct 1st, or Oct 28th.
Or something inbetween
Yes, lets see what the others say.
I don't really want to haggle over a date either :)
Yeah, I'd prefer not to haggle over a date either. If the time comes to start back up and I'm not in a position to continue, then I'll call it then. Until that time, I'll wait.
One thought of mine too was to have our newly-apotheosis'd gods cross the planes and show Pelor who's boss.
Find out who created kender and KILL THEM!
October sounds ok
Ah, there ought to be a special class dedicated to exterminating kender.
I'm willing to wait. My other games are proceeding apace.
Hello everyone!
When I left a month ago, I fully intended to come back sooner and boot up as best I could the old games I had started. I am back, but my plans have changed slightly.
I appreciate all of your enthusiasms, but I will be starting up a single new campaign rather than relaunching my old ones. I bit off more than I could chew last time and I need to manage my time and player expectations better this time.
As such, I will be stepping away from this campaign - which, going back and reading through your discussion post-leaving, kind of breaks my heart. You guys were awesome and I had a ton of fun gaming with you. I encourage all of you to apply for the new PbP I'll be recruiting for in the coming days.
Also, this group shouldn't die, so please, do, try to find another GM. Kaer Maga has much to uncover!
Thanks again for your patience and I apologize for not being able to continue our journey through the Ossuary.
See you around the boards!
Doubt it about finding a new DM
Hey Idyll, thanks for letting us know at least, and for the invitation. Is recruitment for your new campaign up yet? I did enjoy you as a GM, so thanks for at least going as far as you did. I'm sad to hear everything got overwhelming.
I'm not even sure how to go about finding a new GM. Can we open up the recruitment thread of this campaign and rename it? I'm up for at least trying, even if it ends up not coming to anything.
Recruitment for the other game is over.
Wow, that was quick.
I am not positive about a new DM taking over. I suspect that if one does come in, we will need to start over because everyone has their own rules and such so getting rebooted is pretty much certain.
D'oh.
I would have preferred Idyll's loyalties staying with existing campaigns, but I suppose a clean slate is easier. Ah well. Live and learn, eh?
If it keeps up he'll earn a bad rep for starting games,
but never finishing them
(This is the 5th canned game out of I think 7).
----------------------------------------
When A GM takes over odds are he'll keep most or all the character creation rules.
I've taken over a few games and rarely changed anything
(though I will drag 25-point buy down to 20-point buy)
Well I put up a recruitment thread. Maybe we will geta nibble.
Thanks for putting up the recruitment, Elizabeth!

Hello everybody. I am here responding to Elizabeth's request for a replacement DM for your Godsmouth Heresy game. I am sorry to hear of such circumstances, but I would like to help this adventure get back on track.
While I have DM'ed multiple PbP games in the past, I've never done so on the Paizo boards. I've been itching to get back into running a PbP game and I believe this would be a good start.
I must say I love the party chemistry from what I've read and the quick posting speed.
I will say that maps are not my strong point but for this module they really don't have to be. I don't know what you've been used to but I planned on sticking with Excel sheets if you don't mind.
All in all I don't see anything I would change rules or charcater-wise. The only thing is that I typically use group initative for PbP games. This way the players can go anytime they want when they want their PC to act. One person isn't waiting for another or saying they are delaying after somebody or some such. The rolls are determined by d20 + the average initative modifier of the PCs vs d20 + average initative modifier of the bad guys. At this point in time, what ever way you want is fine.
If everything looks good, I can be up and running when you guys are.
~Neb
Hey! Thanks for accepting the request. Your way of Init sounds interesting so perhaps we can give it a try?
As soon as everyone is here and you aree ready we can start. We're fightign those dog thingies.
Awesome. Thanks for helping us out!
*hands some fried darkmantle to the new DM*
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "sticking with Excel sheets" in the context of maps. I think Idyll used to paste our avatar images onto parts of the map from the pdf. But go ahead and use whatever is easiest for you.
As long as I can see where I am in relation to the others I am happy with it. Doesn't have to be pretty.
I'm okay with party initiative.
@Elizabeth: dog thingies? I thought they were vaguely humanoid. Are you sure you aren't confusing them with Ruckus? (He only wants to play, I believe)
Hey! Thanks for answering the call, that's pretty awesome. I'm ready pretty much whenever, although I might be going to Cedar Point tomorrow, where roller coasters will take precedence over posting.
And nooooo, don't fight Ruckus! Weren't they ghouls or something like that? I was hoping we'd thoroughly thwomped them.
I think we were about to fight them
We basically got a round of attacks off, they hadn't acted yet though.
They were about to throw gold pieces at us, if I recall.
Hooray for DM Geb!

Thank you Mr. Undertable. Could use some hot-sauce. =v)
I see where the party is at and have a pretty good idea of what you've been through already.
The party is currently fighting a pair (now 1)"ghoul-dogs".
When we get going, it will attack . . . I mean throw gold at you.
Also, anybody using Hero Lab for your sheets, would you mind sending the file to me? nebten (at) yahoo . Thanx!
Oops, sorry, Neb, I must have been thinking of Geb and Nex earlier. I was ill, and on a smartphone, and there were small humans about. I'll make up for it with a .por file.
And Elizabeth, you did it! Wow! I didn't think GM recruitment was possible!
we all have those moments, Garuneh.
Google doc is a good spot to host the excel sheet, as I can't see the map.
or should I make a image map and host it on photobucket.
