I'm also thinking of getting Ultimate Rulership by Legendary Games which includes a lot of stuff that UC didn't fit in :).

I do sometimes forget how amusing America is with their no boobies policy but as much violence as you can handle.

Your Humble Narrator

Just setting up all of my campaign description short links then i'm updating, sorry for the wait.


Your Humble Narrator

I'll have a large update narrating your plan up tomorrow, the post is in progress and I won't have time to finish it tonight. All hell is about to break loose :).

Our son decided to arrive yesterday morning. A healthy boy, 3800 grams, 53 cm (8,37lbs/20,8 inches for you non-metric types). We are entertaining guests and getting settled in a new family rhythm, so posting might be a bit irregular over the next few days.

Congratulations!

Updating this evening. I have to finish a questionairre design and do some serious grind on my dissertation, then i'm in update mode for the evening.

Just to let you know, I am gone camping from the 24th to the 2nd. Internet/cellular will be spotty at best. I will try to post but if I am holding things up please DMNPC Kip.

Thanks

Sorry for inactivity. I was suddenly summoned to the Headquarters on Isle of Man.

Sovereign Court

Hi all- off to a wedding tomorrow morning, will be out of action until monday most likely.


Your Humble Narrator

Sorry for the snail pace. My dissertation is due on the 17th of September and my word count is still close to 0... Out of 15,000. Within the next week i'll be announcing a 2-3 week hiatus from the games I DM, in order to clear the time I need to finish it. Its the final step of my MSc so pacing should be pretty good after that for some time :).

I picked the wrong week to blow out my knee. ;)

I'm couch-ridden and two of my games go on hiatus. :P

Good luck Alex! I'm sure you will do well!

Your Humble Narrator

Hi all. Please consider me officially on hiatus until the 18th/19th of September in order to do my 15,000 word dissertation...


Your Humble Narrator

Right, i'm back. Working my way through my "My Campaigns" page. KM is next on the list and updating now. Thanks for your patience, i'll be sending out PM's just in case people have forgotten about the game in the long absence of DM :).

Who are you, again? You seem familiar, but I can't quite place you...

(Just kidding, once again congratulations on getting the dissertation done.)


Your Humble Narrator

To be completely honest i've been feeling pretty low this week and have completely lacked the motivation to update, despite having an abundance of time.

I'll try to keep momentum up once more. Sorry about that.

I feel you, mate. I'm going through the same thing with my Realm of the Fellnight Queen campaign. PbP does carry a huge risk of GM burnout, especially when you have been running the game with daily updates for several years.

Especially the big fights like this one with lots of GM stuff going on can be a tough nut to crack. The real danger is that after a while, the feeling of guilt over not having posted overrides the enjoyment of the game, and that's a dark spiral that it can be hard to break out of.

I think we all fell that you are doing a tremendous job with this campaign, and I hope your spirits lift soon.

Sovereign Court

Jacob's right. You're doing great, and after this long you've more than earned the right to take it easy from time to time.


Duke of Kardas, First Sword of Iomedae HP:51/76 AC:27 F:+14, R:+8, W:+12 CMD:23/24 P:-1 Init:+0 AOO:+16

These things happen from time to time. Don't fret if you need a short break.


Your Humble Narrator

Right, i'll get things moving again. Wasn't honestly a PbP burnout as much as just a general low. All good now.

My housemate tripped over a cable and broke our router; out of action for a few days. Will try to post via Ipad if urgent.


Your Humble Narrator

Back in action now, sorry for that.

Move to new PC successful. Need to reinstall Maptools but everything else operational.

I think Kalev has been forgetting he has the Vital Strike feat :(.

I have indeed...

Remind me, did it automatically scale in your house rules?

Sorry gang between jobseeking and my 4 year anniversary with Alina I didn't find the time to update today. I'm on it first thing tomorrow morning.


Your Humble Narrator

Opted for Agai's surrender rather than dragging this out for another week or so.

Ricter- i've been thinking that I may have advised you badly to take Dazzling Display. Its actually a full-round action, not a standard I'll allow you to replace it with the feat Cornugon Smash on next level-up if you wish, which I probably should have made you aware of in the first instance. Seems far more Ricter's style and will synergise beautifully with the Fearsomeness Hellknight ability you will later get.

Let me know :).


Duke of Kardas, First Sword of Iomedae HP:51/76 AC:27 F:+14, R:+8, W:+12 CMD:23/24 P:-1 Init:+0 AOO:+16

Dazzling display pretty much sucks due to the action opportunity cost. You have to be close, lose a round to potentially debuff creatures for 1-2 rounds.

Much better to go Thug or Rake build...and get it as part of an action on one opponent.


Your Humble Narrator

Such as Cornugon Smash.

Just a heads up, I will be out of town from Thursday to Sunday and will have little to no internet or time to post during that time. Please DMNPC my character as needed after Wednesday night. Thanks.

I'm fine with Dazzling Display thanks Alex - I've got Gory Finish lined up as my next feat.

Certainly thematic, but it ties you into a standard action attack (so it can't trigger on full-attacks) and you have to drop the opponent for it to work.

Also there is the awesome (but a few more levels away) Dreadful Carnage
