I am home from Pennsic War 48.
Lots of excellent fighting and good times even with some very sore ribs.
I will have a post up sometime soon. Still have a tone of things to clean, unpack and put away.
I will be out of town till the 22nd or 23rd. I can still post but it will be from my phone. I may not be able to see the maps.
I will be very tired at the end of each of these days. I am in the process of finishing my roof on the viking house. Thousands and thousands of little cedar shakes sidings to be stapled into my roof. This part is being done by myself...I may not post often, if need be...Bot me.
Hey, guys. My wife has just gone into the hospital as we prepare to welcome our first child. Posting may be sporadic, and I won’t be able to do anything on the maps for a while.
I should be back to mostly normal in a couple weeks.
Get ready for the ride. It'll be almost overwhelming, but worth it. :)
I should be back to mostly normal in a couple weeks.
You keep telling yourself that. ;)
Well, by then I’ll be back at work and I can post from work again.
Trust me, though. It'll be an entirely new normal. ;)
The ads don't lie - Kids change everything.
Congrats, Garran! Boy or girl?
best of luck Garran!
I have been going through some rough personal stuff lately and I am sorry that I have not been as active as I would like. The quantity of my posts is not there nor is the quality. Planning to move in a couple of months (again) with the drama of personal life and the stress of figuring out all the logistics of the schools for the kids, housing, new doctors and my wife's career is just one huge quagmire of red tape and hoops to jump through. This has all led me to a state of total physical, mental and emotionally drained.
I plan to keep up as best I can with the games but as I know you understand, this is a game and will take a back seat to RL.
Bot me as you need to. I hope and pray that this mess is resolved soon and life goes back to normal.
Hope everyone makes it through it ok. Good luck, Sir.
hey guys, I'll be travelling for the next few days. Apologies. Please bot me as needed.
and best of luck Alistair!
My fellow gamers/adventurers: I hate to have to say this, but I think I’m gonna have to bow out of my PBP games. We all know how real life can rear its ugly head, and I’m just not finding the time to work on my online hobby these days. I can barely keep up with reading posts, let alone posting any actions on my own, and I’d rather not limp along in some half-ass fashion without being able to give the time and energy that these games and our characters deserve. I wish you all the best and thank you for including me in your stories. -Rob
Thanks for the heads-up. I've enjoyed RPing with you and hate to see you leave. Real Life always trumps hobbies like this, though, so I wish you good gaming in whatever capacity you can find.
Sorry to see you go, Danni.
On a similar note, I've had quite a bit going on lately. This isn't a goodbye, but an explanation for why I've been MIA for a couple weeks. Things should clear up this week. Thanks for the patience.
Just checking to see if we're still going to be moving forward.
:) :)
*waves*
Yes! Sorry about the delays. A new post will be up tomorrow.
Anyone still here?
Yeah.
I'm still here. I'm just unconscious.
Yes, sorry. I thought I posted, but I don’t see it.
Yes, sorry. I thought I posted, but I don’t see it.
Same thing happened to me, actually...
Hey, guys.
I hate to do this, but I need to offload some of my games. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time to run them all in an effective manner. You guys deserve better than the time or headspace it takes between my posts.
If you'd like, I can shop around for a new GM.
Sorry,
GM R0B0
I'm going to drop at this point.
It's been fun folks.
@GM R0B0, If you could mark Nicoleta as inactive, I would appreciate it. Thanks for running it as far as you have.
Understood, GM. Thanks for running this as far as you could.
Well, that's one drop.
Alika, Alistair, do we want to try keeping it together with another DM?
If you have a reliable DM on the hook, I'll stick around.
Ciao, Nicoleta, see ya in the other games!
I am still here. Would love to continue
I don't know of any GMs looking for games off-hand, but I'll ask some people, and see what I can do.
I am willing to post something after the 1st of the year. I feel trying to find a gm during the holidays be hard.
I'll leave the search up to you guys then. Best of luck with finding a new GM and I hope we get a chance to play again in the future.

If everyone is ok with this...I will make a post requesting a new GM.

Let me ask a few people first.
That would be great.
Okay, I asked people, but none of them can take on a game. Go ahead and post, Alistair.
I will get that done this night
So, we've had someone propose to take over the game. Here's the link for Alistair's thread.
Vrog has put forth their proposal. Let's all look over it, and then each of us can decide if we like it or not.
Greetings adventurers. I have arrived to help advance your adventures to the next level....or in this case to book 3.
Here's what's going to happen, aka a rough timeline of events:
First, we need to verify all of the people still interested. So far, it looks like just Garran and Alistair. I just need to verify this before I start a recruitment, because as was mentioned in the other recruitment thread, I'm looking to just run for four people (to keep it balanced with the original design).
Once I have the list of people who are confirmed in, I'll get a recruitment up. While that's going on, I'll have those of you who are still playing create 9th level versions of your characters. We'll keep the 25 point buy for stats, 2 traits (one of which must be a campaign trait).
Added rules will be: no drawbacks, HP are max first and half plus one thereafter, gold will be 46,000 gp, with no limitations on how you spend your money (if you want to buy one really expensive thing, that's fine; that kind of thing is balanced by the fact that you're gimping yourself in other areas). No hero points or 3rd party material, and I'll post a writeup of the salient points of Books 1 and 2 in a writeup in this thread for those of you moving forward to read.
Once the game starts, I'll be using a different thread, just to keep things clean.
So that's basically it. If you have any questions, or I missed anything, please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to having a great game!
Er, I'm still here.
Thank you for taking over, Vrog! We really appreciate it. I'll work on getting Garran further updated.
No worries. Since it looks like have 3 people, I'll go ahead and get a recruitment up this weekend for a 4th.
It looks like you guys could use either a ranged weapon character or an arcane caster.
Oh, before I forget, I'm fine with almost anything Paizo, but if you think it'll be questionable, feel free to run it by me first.
Okay folks, I have the recruitment created:
I added the caveat that each submission have a tie to one of your characters, with your permission. I'd like you all to keep an eye on the thread to be able to yay or nay the connections with your characters.
I should have the "what has come before" piece finished this weekend, and I will post a link to it as a document on my dropbox, as I don't want to accidentally spoil the AP for those who haven't played it before.
So with no 3rd party stuff. May I rework my character to better fit the image I had for him. That feat was a perfect fit for the direction I originally intended but not a problem for me. I can rework it and still make it work. Is that ok with you?
Yes, feel free to change your character up as needed, as long as it abides by the charactere creation rules. Same goes for Garran and Alika.
Just let me know when you have it completed, and I'll give it a twice over and note any changes (remember, most things from Paizo should be fine, but there are a couple of things I don't allow: Off the top of my head, synthesist summoners and pagent of the peacock. I think there are a couple others, but those are big (mainly cause they either aren't designed well imo or cause a lot of arguments about the intent of the ability).

Okay, that was longer than I thought, but I just finished the document entitling what happened over the first two chapters. I have entitled it "What has come before" and you can find it here:
Garran is fully updated, if you'd like to look over him.
So I gave it a once over, and I have to leave for work soon so I might have missed something, but one thing jumped out at me:
Your skill points are a bit lacking. You should get 2 from class plus 2 from int plus 1 from human per level, for a total of 5 skill points a level.
From what I can tell, you have max ranks for free in climb for free from armor training, and max ranks in the following skills: Diplomacy, knowledge (planes), intimidate, and survival.
Given your traits, I'd consider maxing out either sleight of hand, perception, or sense motive.
Ah, I see what I did wrong. My spreadsheet for the character was originally made with a 13 Int, not 14. I forgot to account for that. I'll figure out a Skill that makes sense to increase.
Sounds good!
Real quick question: did everyone get a chance to read the write-up I did?
Yep.
Still working on going up to level 9.
