CrazyHedgehog's Skull & Shackles Game (Inactive)

Game Master CrazyHedgehog

Yeah, I'm having trouble in a game with only a couple of updates a month....I'm losing the character, so to speak.

Exactly. It's not been for lack of trying, but I'm finding free time has been in short supply. I've been scheduling time at nights, but by the time I get an opportunity online, it's after 11pm. My brain's a bit dead by that time and typically I'm finding I just fall asleep at the keyboard, result being I'm only getting in one post a week across the three games I DM, which really doesn't do any of them justice. Thanks for being a great group of players, I've really enjoyed the game and thanks for sticking with it so long. I can totally see The Rabbit Prince sailing off into the sunset to wreak havoc on the Arcadian Main. I hope you all get the opportunity to play the rest of the adventure path at some point, it looks like a lot of fun.

Maybe you/we could find a replacement DM? If enough people want to keep playing, that is. ^_^

I'd really hate to see this game stop. Being in three games here, I hope you don't mind me saying I'd rather see Red Hand stop and this one continue, but I realize that may be a selfish suggestion.
Perhaps Penta's player Darren may be able and willing to take over the GM mantle?

Thanks for volunteering me Werner :P

Do you really want to continue with the two frontliners gone (Arven and Penta)?

We could always recruit?

Darren, if you would be willing to run the game for us, I'm sure we could find us a warrior type somewhere on these boards.

That would leave us:

a sorcerer,
a bard,
a witch, and
another sorcerer.

We could certainly use a front liner. Depending if the DM would want to keep Penta in the game, we might also have a warpriest with us.

LOL Darren. You were willing to take over Russell's game when he quit. And I wasn't volunteering you, just asking since Quara actually put the idea in my head with her suggestion of finding a replacement DM.

I can't even cast Suggestion... yet. :p

That sounds like an excellent idea if someone wants to take over GMing duties, or even co-GM somehow. Ironically, this has turned out to be a pretty good week for posting, so I'll try to wrap up the current encounter at least while you all decide what you want to do.

You should have no problems finding interested players on the boards to replace lost characters. If you do have trouble though I could maybe pitch in with a combat type. I mean, with my GMing posts I typically spend 1-2 hours putting them together, but a character post is usually much more straightforward and quicker.

Werner, I was thinking of stopping Skull & Shackles because of the three I thought this one was the least established. Are you nae enjoyin' the Red Hand of Doom? :)

Which book are you using? I would need to buy it

Nick, I'm having a good enough time with the Red Hand and it is of course different with both different players and a different character, but I have played that one before. I am however more enjoying the other two campaigns I'm in precisely because I don't know the stories.

Which book are you using? I would need to buy it

We are currently running through the first part of Raiders of the Fever Sea, the second book of the Skull & Shackles series.

I'll try to update the list of NPCs over the next few days, but if you don't mind PMing your email I can try to forward stats and things as well.

It will take me a week or 2 to get comfortable with the material. In the mean time, you'll need at least one martial or Divine/martial character to help. Do any of the players have a friend that might like to play one?

I'll try to continue in the meantime as best I can, and will forward NPC statistics, have started pulling them together. I've also been updating the campaign info thread, but it's a work in progress.

Thanks to both of you for trying to keep this game afloat. See what I did there?

Not to make matters worse, but this seems a well enough time for me to withdraw as well. Like CHH, I'm feeling a bit spread thin on the boards when coupled with my not finding a whole lot of time as of late to contribute. I'd like to focus on the other campaigns CHH started before this one and my own. Fortunately, there's a lot of arcane characters in this group already. Also, I don't think Batango would be real on board with the good-natured style of piracy things seem to be heading towards. It's been fun so far, and I hope the rest of you get to continue and have some great adventures.

Hey Woodsmoke, sorry to hear you'll be leaving the game as well. Having three arcane characters in the group has been interesting, I was taking it as a challenge for the next chapter for the game to each of you some distinct opportunities and dilemmas. But, can totally understand about the lack of time. I'm very much enjoying Reign of Winter and am keen to see where that's going to go.

Hopefully, Darren will be able to take the game in an exciting new direction, once he's had a chance to get to grips with the plot. If you all find you have trouble recruiting new players (I don't think that should be a problem with this game), just to say I could fill in as a PC, it would certainly be less time commitment than GMing. To me, this game's just crying for a swashbuckler to throw into the mix.

I should be up to speed after the weekend. yeah, I'm going to start with Raiders of the Fever Sea. So everyone level to 4th

@crazy

A swashbuckler would be great

Hit point roll for 4th level

1d6 ⇒ 4

Please post here to continue campaign.

Hey Werner, we are waiting on Raven on the new board here

Hit points level 4: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
