If the DM still can't post, either (s)he needs to make a new account and Paizo needs to transfer control of the game over, or someone else needs to take over, or the game dies.
(I'm already running more games than I want to be running, so I don't have the bandwidth to take over running.)
I just do not have the time to dedicate to a game as a GM. The two small ones keep me busy. PBP is pretty much all the gaming I can do these days. Still get to game on discord/d20 once a week for 2 hours but that is it.
How do people feel about this... We wait another week...say Monday the 24th. If we do not have a GM at that time we can move ahead with a recruitment for a GM.
I will reach out to the GM to see what they feel about the situation.
Works for me.
That's fine.
Well I sent a message last Monday to the old DM and have not gotten a response. I think it is time to move forward and recruit a new dm. Can everyone that is still here chime in for me. I will have a recruitment thread up soon. Thanks
I'm still here; a shame about the DM vanishing, but that's pretty common on the boards.
Still here.
I am reaching out to a player that said the would be willing to be a back-up Dm if something happened. We will see if that pans out.
Hey, guys, it's Aryah. I understand you need a new GM.
I'm open to it, although my style is pretty different from Esmeranda's.
I'm not as snappy a poster, but I stay with my games. I also use maps.
Here are some examples of games that I currently run:
Carrion Crown (To avoid any confusion here, my old alias was GM Olmek)
If I sound like somebody you guys would want to play with, let me know and we can pick this game back up.
I'm fine with switching DMs. I'm used to playing with maps so that's no hardship for me.
I'm still here and eager to continue
I am good to go, very happy to hear about the maps. I am all for you taking up this mantle. Thank you for taking the time.

Hey, Jesse! I hope Sons of Dammerhall is still going well. :)
Yep, still pluggin' along. Had a near-miss that could've devolved into a party combat, now we're in a slow-moving melee from a later encounter, making our way ever deeper.
Garran is still here and can play. GM R0B0, good to see you again.
Happy to move forward.
Okay, guys. Give me a couple days to read everything and familiarize myself with the adventure.
Not a problem.
Thank you again for taking this on.
Update: I'm out of town for the weekend. Look for a restart next week.
Great. Thanks for picking up the reins.
Roll20 is how we'll be running the combat map going forward. I'll include an easy link in the campaign header when I'm given control of the game. I'll work to get the map up and populated with tokens ASAP.
When you've made an account, please let me know which player you are, so I can give you the proper permissions.
I'm logged in to the Roll20 as 'Dan E.'
I'm signed in as Phntm888.
Added under this alias.

Update: I've added a map and tokens to Roll20. Please check and see if you can see the map and control your token. If not, post here and I'll fix it.
A post will be up some time today. Looking forward to getting this up and running, although I'm still waiting on ownership transfer from Paizo.
I am good
I am also good.
Regarding the delay, I've had a difficult time placing where the party is in the building because the previous GM was making up his own fishery as he went along, ie. he added the door you came through and an 'upstairs' that the baddies could drop kids through.
The transition to a map might be jarring based on the information given to you so far, so I think the easiest solution is a general re-do of the first couple encounters.
Here's what I'm thinking:
Nicoletta kicks in the front door, surprising Giggles and the dog. Alistair kills the dog, and the rest of the party pummels Giggles into unconsciousness.
There are doors to the north, east, and west. Hearing a response to Giggles' calls for help, the party opts to head north, into the main fishery floor, starting atop the catwalk on the southern wall. We can restart the encounter there.
Does that sound okay?
Sounds fine to me.
Sure, it's early in the game, it's not like this is going to upend the world.
I'm good too
Hey DM, can you add the Roll20 link to the Campaign Info tab so there's always an easy place to find it?
I would except that Paizo transferred control of the game to an account that I no longer use. Trying to rectify the situation.
In the mean time, I'll include the link in my post header.
Avatar selection is unbroken!
I've updated your token on Roll20, Alika.
Thank you GM!
Nicoleta, are you planning on multi-classing as a barbarian? :)
Nope. The rage is just the cherry on the top of what is Nicoleta. :)
And this is what she's like with meditation. She was a real handful before she began her daily calming regimen.
@Nicoleta
I love your angry at the world character...LOL it is fun. I find nothing wrong with your RP and I hope you do not feel attacked by Alistair's reactions. I only say this because (not that you do not know this but) some players have a hard time separating RP from RL and feel that the interactions of characters is a reflection of how you feel about the player and not the character.
No worries, Alistair.
I have been in games with people that have a hard time separating the character from the player.
Yeah, Nicoleta is a bit of a prickly handful. My goal is for her to mellow as she grows, but for now she's still trying to find her calm center.
And a reminder for everyone, if anybody thinks she's coming across too strong or is crossing a line, please let me know - either on the discussion thread or through PM. Sometimes a character starts to write themselves so much that, as a player, I have to remember that other people want to have fun as well and I don't want to have my character get in the way of that.
Danni stands up on her toes to try to look into the room to see what's going on.
Don't let where I put your character keep you from joining a scene. :)
I will have a post up later tonight. Can not get roll20 to work on my phone. Will be home from disney late tonight.
Ok folks. It's getting really iffy where I'm located here in Northern CA. The Camp fire is getting really close so we're watching for evacuation orders. If that happens, my posting may be sporadic. Please bot me if needed.
Stay safe!
egad, best of luck!
yes, best of luck...
Stay safe, Nicoleta!
are we waiting on someone to post? Am I missing something?
