I'm compiling a list of things that need crafting, a bit of which might be delegated to Tarvi.
So far I am aware of (haven't done too much looking back in the threads):
Maddok
Belt of Physical Prowess (Str/Con) +4
Loincloth upgrade +4
Derek
[Items yet to be named]
Yahirma
[Several items to become even more thematically neat]
Me? A bad influence? I guess that depends on what you think a good influence would be haha.
As for crafting, Derek originally wanted a headband of wisdom +2 and a belt of strength +2, but I think the belt can be upgraded to +4 now.
I also have several items that I would like to have crafted. You may have to delegate as, my stuff alone will take about a month... Before you factor in fast crafting. I'll let you know IC after we resolve my quest business.
Man, putting a lot of pressure on the crafters of the group. No wonder the guy in my Forgotten Realms group insist on charging a fee from the other players.
And even with a modest 10% fee, he is still piling up the cash since he almost never have time to craft for himself.
Bleh. "Later today" became "late tomorrow". Sorry for the delay.
I hope everyone had a good (long) weekend!
Cannest we, but wee aquatic beasties, bear to fathom the bridges of time that must have been manipulated to have achieved such an end?
Also, hi. :D
Hello there!
Um, I don't be to alarm you, but you might want to see a doctor about that whole flaming-head thing you have going on.
They can't catch me if I'm on fire.
Appario drums his fingers.
These people are odd.
Self-Sauting trout? we'll be rich!
Only IF YOU CAN CATCH ME FIRST!
It's been hectic for me recently, and there were also surprise visitors over the weekend, so I've been unable to post the past couple of days. I'm making some posts now, and things should be back to normal tomorrow or Wednesday :)
Yay! Paizo is no longer showing up as offline for me! Time to write something.
I'm only posting to say it's been another couple of grueling days for me.. and I have no time to post now since I'm getting up early tomorrow :(
So don't sit up waiting for me; tomorrow afternoon/evening will be the earliest I'll have enough time to do justice to my posts. Thankfully the long days will be over by then as well. I apologize for my rarity of posting this week.
No problem Are.
Thanks for checking in. I was about to send a search party.
Agreed, you let us know what's going on and that counts for a lot.
It seems like I spoke too soon.. I got home today and sat down to begin crafting some posts, but apparently my computer's power supply had decided to call it quits. I'm terribly sorry, but without my computer (with my notes) it's going to be difficult to make posts for a while.
I'm posting this from my brother's computer, which isn't an option that works for regular posting.
Hopefully I'll get this situation sorted out soon. I likely have to get a new computer, since nobody sells power supplies that match my ancient motherboard and hard drive anymore.
Well that is within the realm of major disappointment but I was in the same position a year ago.
My power supply went out and as a result I had to replace my motherboard which meant replacing my memory which meant replacing my...
This is the work of that diabolical Drovenge, clearly. He knows we're close and this is his only hope.
No worries. We'll pay him back for this too...attacking your computer crossed another line.
It turned out that everything was fine.. despite being plugged in, somehow the current wasn't reaching the computer (all other appliances worked normally, so I feel that this was a pretty odd anomaly). Anyway, false alarm, thankfully, and now I can get back to doing my evil deeds to your PCs instead of my own :)
(and I'll be making external backups of all my PBP-related files by the end of the day, too!)
Yay! Everything's okay!
Smart.
I learned that lesson the hard way. I lost my main hard drive at one point. Losing 5+ years of your life is sad times.
I lost my main drive about 6 years ago, too. Luckily I managed to recover about half of what was on it, but the other half did amount to quite a lot..
I have kept backups following that event, including of PBP-material, but it's been several months since the last time I performed a backup (and quite a bit has happened in this game in that time!).
I am unlikely to post anything substantial on Friday or Saturday, as I will be co-running a round of the Eyes of the Ten PFS retirement arc. Assuming internet is readily accessible, I might be able to post a combat round or the like during some down time.
A second point is in regards to an item crafting schedule. It looks like Maddok's new belt will take a while, so figure I'll get that out of the way early. With accelerated crafting (DC 32 while taking 10 and poking at the insides of a goat), I should be able to hammer that out in about 18 days. Beyond that, I'm still tinkering with the schedule.
Meh.
Missed this last round of postings.
I'll get something up tonight. Apologies for the delay.
I should be back to normal posting this weekend.
It seems that my computer starting up again eventually on Thursday evening was simply the calm before the storm.. It has taken progressively more time (and progressively more frustration) every day since then to get it working (which says quite a lot, given the several hours it took on Thursday). By now, I'm resigned to the fact that this computer's days are numbered.
So those few times I have managed to get it to come to life, I've been spending the time taking backups and checking out computer websites to find decent deals.
It's an awful situation to be leaving all of you hanging like this, but there's little I can do about it (other than buying a new computer). I'll try to make some posts tomorrow, if the computer doesn't finally die overnight.
What's important is that you're there for it in its final days...
At least you've gotten enough warning to back stuff up.
Yea, its an important part of the grieving process.
No worries, DM Are. Do you happen to have a Paypal account?
I've finally gotten everything vital and most of the things I otherwise want backed up, so it's time to get this show rolling again; I won't have a dead PBP on my hands as well as a soon-to-be-deceased computer!
Expect new IC-posts shortly :)
yay!
December and January are looking delightfully busy in terms of creative writing deadlines. As I just finished with another one, I should have some free time over the next day or two to catch up on a handful of loose plot threads.
Without divulging details (anonymity clauses and all that), is anyone creating anything for either the Valhalla Calling contest or RPG Superstar 2013?
I will not this year.
I'm looking forward to your posts!
I haven't taken the Rorschach test in forever. I'm curious to see what Yahirma says about Xerath's interpretations.
An update from your friendly DM :)
Based on my last few posts in this thread, it probably comes as no surprise that my computer finally died entirely. It did so the day after my last batch of posts, and this is my first chance to use another computer since then (unfortunately without the opportunity to spend a lot of time making IC-updates).
Anyway, some good news: My new computer was just ordered a few minutes ago, with an expected delivery date of January 1st. Hopefully it will be delivered sooner than that (preferably before Christmas), but that at least means the new year should see me back on normal posting form.
That is indeed good news.
Well that's good to hear. An update is always great.
Let us have a moment of silence for the death of a loyal friend...

That is good news, indeed.
And my/our offer stands, DM Are. Both Maddok and Yahirma offered to join me in chipping in for the new computer...if you'd accept it.
Consider it a Christmas present!
(Even though nobody bothered to use the ones I gave them last year, grumble...)
Happy New Year everyone.
Happy New Year everyone.
Agreed.
Let the blessing of Abadar show in your every transaction during the new year of 4713 A.R. You'll know Abadar's blessing in the jingle of coins and the smiles of merchants.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year :)
And merry PBP-gaming, too; my new computer is set up and ready for posting!
Hurray!
Welcome back Are. =)
Yay! I second the welcome back!
Yahirma, you around?
I ate her. >.>
Well un-eat her!
We need our oracle.
You can't un-eat someone. That's not how it works!
What you need is time travel.
