I'm sorry for your loss.
Relatives are almost all gone and I think I've recovered emotionally. Expect me back in posting form by the end of the week at latest.
whenever you are ready
You all haver permissions to move any character. Fixed the map. Also, the image I got online doesn't match up 100% so we'll play it by ear.
Heavy work weekend just ended. Updates most likely tomorrow.
I needed a few days clear - will post tomorrow
Sorry guys. Had some on going issues with depression - apologies and give me a day or so to get back on top of things.
Finals are over and I'm currently competting at a national leadership conference. Should be back by Monday and resume a better frequency of posting now that schools out.
Apologies for the lack of keeping you all informed. Up until now most free time was trying to fix metaphorically shooting myself in the foot on one final.
Some sweeet rolling there guys!
I guess we've become quite attached to the place (bad pun).
buh dum dum
Just a heads up, will be on a short family get-away. Should be back Monday to reliably post.
To all of my games:
I am currently operating with limited internet access. I will do my best to update when I can, but I don't think I will have internet until at least monday.
If I am a player in your game, please bot me. If I am a GM, know that I haven't dropped the game and I am committed to keeping it going. Thank you.
Still no internet at home (because of course, why would I have internet I am paying for?) but there is now a technician scheduled to come out on Friday, so barring anything odd it should be up then).

Hee. Yeah, with the theatre of the mind map that we were using, I feel that we must've had some kind of hilarious cross-over where GAlador charged the druid warriors and spellcater...and the druid warriors rushed PAST him to get to the spellcasters behind him!
Druids: "rrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA...Oh hey Galador...AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Galador: "aaaaaahhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHH...oh hey Frank. Hey Bill...AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
=P
Often I find that if I fall behind in updates, I need to make time to simply update a Discussion Thread to inform the PCs of a particular game that I am either going to be posting later in the day or week or will be on a break form the boards for one reason or another.
To save time updating so many damn threads I am going to open this thread and link all of my DM aliases (and PC aliases) to this thread to inform people as to my status. So if I am missing for a time, just go ahead and click on the link in my Avatar and you will be able to ascertain my board status.
My sincerest apologies if this is a bit of an inconvenience where you are waiting on me for an action but posting "I will be away for the next 3 days" 47 times (or more) is just not working for me any longer. Thank you for your understanding!
I'm traveling on a brief road trip today and tomorrow. I'll have spotty internet access and limited time to check on my games until Friday night. Please bot me as needed.
It's been that kind of week again. Post is up, with requisite fireball and snark. :)
Moved into a new apartment, the internet down. Hopefully up tomorrow.
This combat is designed to be a bit tougher, so I'll give Sheva and Victor another day or two to post.
Can't get to Roll20 at work, will assume you've placed me in the best spot DM.
Hope my idea at least gets each of them at little bit damaged. :-)
I am posting this to all my games (apologies if you see this multiple times):
I am going to be out of town for an work conference that I was asked to go on last minute. I will be out of town through Friday (the 27th). There will be internet a the hotel, but the schedule will be really hectic and I won't have a lot of time to post.
Please bot me if I am in your game, and if you are in my game, please note that I will probably not be making an update until Saturday at the earliest.
Apologies and thank you for your patience.

To a select few games:
I propose that we start using these charts instead of the normal fumble and critical rules.
After rolling either a 1 or 20, fumble or crit, you roll percentile dice (d100) on the appropriate chart to see what happened.
They're from MERP, so there are modifiers at the bottom. And spell charts for the appropriate damage, or just "spell criticals" for generic damage.
What do you think?
Not sure about the charts, but they do look interesting. Don't think I'll implement them though.
I should just clarify Vassilios, its one extra spell slot and spell at your current level. It does not change as your level gets higher.
Ah. Um. That changes a lot xD Let me have a closer look then.
Edit: Bah, who cares. I'll take it anyway. After all, I'm more than just a magic item.
Victor? What are you thinking?
I'm looking at the +1 bluish sword, but I think you might also.
Let me know so we can each pick something.
I'll check IC tomorrow, RL been crazy lately and I have not had much energy or time for posting. On vacation this week so I should be able to get up to speed once more.

I'll take the Gladius.
Just to ensure you realize Victor, the light sword is incapable of harming living beings.

OK, thanks for the clarification, we've got plenty of foes to use it on regardless :-)
To all my games, I am going to be leaving tomorrow for a humanitarian trip to help those in need. I will only have access to my smartphone at the time, so I will not be able to post during this time. I estimate my return to the boards in the first week of January.
If I'm a player and you find this absence unfavorable, I understand if you remove me from the game.
If I'm the GM, and you'd rather leave the game if it stalls for this long, I understand your withdrawal.
In either case, message me and we'll get things sorted out.
But I do wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
It seems we have lost Galador and Sheva. With three left, I'm considering bringing this game to a close. It's a long way before our heroes will be able to match Strahd in power.
Thoughts everyone?

Up to you GM. A re-recruitment can certainly fill the ranks once more but I respect the decision you make either way :-)
I'd like to keep going, but I would understand if you wanted to close the game.
Aw, Vasilios is sad... I would like to continue, though I would understand if your spirit is low. Maybe you should decide after you come back.
I've thought about it, and I think I would like to end the game. While I enjoyed starting PbPs left and right about a year ago, I had more time then and also lacked the understanding how much of a commitment these are.
That said, I would like to thank you all for your play in this game of ours, and ask if there are any requests on how to end this session.
Maybe one last battle against what I believe is the evil mayor? :-)
Or we can seek our revenge on the hags?
I think I can arrange a revenge match against the hags.
Post incoming sometime today.
