Aye, I figure someone has to report to the good Father/Sandpoint Cathedral about what we found out, and the threat this may pose, considering it all seems part of some bigger plot suspiciously centered around our home town.
If she leaves with the next ship, it may be weeks before she comes back - even longer if there is urgent business to be dealt with that prevents her from returning but ensures she mysteriously levels up at the same pace.
I'd love to leave a chance of coming back if possible.
That's not a problem.
Also, please let us know if you'd like to come up with a reason for your leaving. If you don't, I'll come up with something, of course.
Still here! =)
Same but under Quarantine Order atm.
Me as well, and also as well, more or less.
Hm? Aye. Here. Sleepy, but here.
Still here. Can't force me to leave...we've been doing this game for years now! Can't just give up! Hope everyone is safe and healthy?
Out of Qurantine.
Negative all the way.
I'm still hanging around too!
Aye, still here. Nowhere else to go :)
If anyone is interested in a game that goes a little faster than this one, I am in an Ironfang Invasion game that needs a new player. We have three remaining dedicated players and I'm playing a Tiefling Kineticist in it.
Feel free to contact GM Spazmodeus if you want to apply. We are currently at 4th level, getting close to 5th I think. I'm not sure what book in the AP we are in yet, but its been really fun so far!
Maybe interested. What are the character build rules? Looks like maybe a divine caster could be helpful?
I'll pass on that at the moment.
Max bandwidth met.
A Divine character would be awesome! A semi-decent full arcanist of some type too would work.
What about a caster focused Druid? Not quite so good at healing as cleric for example, but with the campaign trait Frontier Healer and Healer's hands feat + Healing Skill unlocks + Herbalism shouldn't be too bad in that area.
On the other hand, I'm always up for playing a controller arcane caster. I'm almost addicted to it.
As a kineticist I can handle a lot of the ranged damage dealing instead of an arcanist. We have a Magus, but he's mostly focused on his blade stuff. We have a Reliquarian of Erastil, but most of his magic is summoning of elementals and some healing magic.
A druid would be perfect for the game environment really. Basically we are performing guerilla-style attacks against the hobgoblins so far inside a dark-fey style forest. We've been lucky with taking over some Troglodyte caves they left behind, so we are well hidden now and safe from bad weather... Outdoor survival rules in this game are TOUGH. Too many days without a safe place to rest and enough food to eat, and the penalties start stacking. We have a few combat able NPCs, but most are too young or too old to do much more than clean, cook, and take care of our few animals.
The cave we are in has at least one deep connection to the 'underdark' in Golarian with lower tunnels too. So possible race choices are really varied here now too if they GM approves it.
Sounds like a druid with the above mentioned feats would work well.
Also that trait that lets you treat deadly wounds or something twice in a day. I can't recall.
So...FYI? We've had a tentative offer to possibly take over this game from another GM I know. We didn't seek this out, but the offer seems genuine, and I like this GM too.
Nothing against GM BrOp here, he has stuck this game out longer than many would have I think, but I fear he just doesn't have the time or effort to keep up with the game anymore. Real life keeps getting tougher and harsher for everyone these days, so no telling what's keeping him away so much. I just hope he's safe and healthy in the end.
Either way we will find out this weekend maybe? If this guy is willing, would you guys want to try? I really want to finish this AP with you guys. I would prefer to keep GM BrOp of course. We owe him that at least, but if BrOp wants to and is willing (if we can get him to answer) and this other GM steps up...
Does that sound like an OK possibility with you guys? Or would rather wait for our normal GM...come Hell or High Water?
I think it is an offer worth pursuing.
For a very simple aspect: Brop did have ongoing anxiety/depression issues and was putting himself unter a lot of pressure to try and sustain the game - which compounded the problem during times when he struggled.
A game like this should be fun - for all involved, that includes the GM. And I think in a sum total he took away more stress, pressure and anxiety than enjoyment, despite our reassurances.
With Jiliana's "recent" departure, one option could be to allow Brop to turn into a player, if he comes back and is inclined - he could stick around and it is a role with way less pressure.
But if the offer turns out to be valid and a transfer possible, I think we would be doing all involved in this game a favor by accepting it.
Which Kind GM has offered to take up this game?
Much as I'm all for waiting, I think Lia pretty much summed up what I would like to say. I'm all for Brop turning into a player if he wants and I know RL is kinda tough right now. I certainty am feeling that.
Also I'm starting to dislike My current toon so if we have a new GM coming in, I'll like to respec him into a Full Cleric instead.
Warpriest sounds great and all but I haven't being using his abilities as much as I'd like. I'm beginning to think Channel is far better then Fervor in this case.
I agree with all the above. BrOp has added grad school to his list of concerns now was well. I think it's time he's relieved of any feelings of obligation to continue as GM. I like the idea of offering him a spot as a player if he would like one.
All seems to be in favor. I will contact GM Spazmodius this weekend to see if he is still interested.
Sounds fine! I hope there's good news!
Hey guys, 'tis I , the aforementioned GM!
After some consideration, I've decided to take on your intrepid band of adventurers!
Looks like you're about two thirds through the Skinsaw Murders, so I'll need a bit of time to both skim the gameplay and discussion threads, and re-familiarize myself with the adventure.
I'll also request ownership of the campaign.
Like the previous GM, I'll roll initiative and give you guys spoilered ability/knowledge checks. My rolls will be in a spoiler called 'GMs Screen'. I may at times roll a check for a character to speed thing up.
I'll award levels by milestone and also provide maps on google slides.
I'm pretty busy with a bunch of games here, and a rather busy with work/family in real life. Sometimes that rl stuff bogs me down, but I've been working on keeping those interruptions to a day or two at most. Apologies in advance if they go longer :) Any planned absences will, of course, be announced before hand.
Because I can't hold myself to a post-a-day schedule, I won't require the same of you. But, please do your best to post regularly, especially in combat :)
I'm here for the long haul, so I look forward to a nice , long adventure with you guys.
That's about it.
Let me know if you have any questions for me.
Al
Thank you GM Spaz for taking up this game.
I got no objections with your above style having played with you before.
Do roll for me in terms of knowledge checks and such as usually GMs roll better then me. :p
The only thing I'd ask is if I could respec my warpriest into a full cleric instead. I'm beginning to think the group could do better with a full time healing access compared to part time.
Welcome, good Sir! We appreciate any effort you can throw our way. Our little band looks forward to seeing where we can go with you at the helm, and hope our old GM is still OK too.
=)
Hooray! We live again! Thank you Spazmodeus!
Everything you laid out in your post sounds fine with me.
I concur. All sensible.
Personally, I prefer both Google Slide(simple to access, no login barrier etc.) and level-up by milestone(since it allows to cut out 'filler' combats that just serves to drag things out and provide XP.) - so those two aspects are very welcome.
I'll need to check my character sheet and make sure it's all there. I had some sort of weird thing happen a little while back where Ro's profile was completely wiped out, including the only version of her sheet. I had to rebuild it from scratch by memory and an old copy from a few levels earlier.
I think I finished it except for a few details, but I stopped working on it as things slowed down in the game. I'll finished anything left to do this weekend.
So respec allowed?
pretty please?
*Checks charisma.* Urghhh..........
Gruff pls?
Lol...the gruff pls sealed the deal.
Yes, respec allowed
Too noice! Thanks GM. Karmid is good to go…
Just watch out for the talking butterfly! She’s smart!
Thank you very much.
Not so gruff now but still gruff lol.
Cleric Divine Paragon with a step into evangelist at your service.
Would like to say a new improved Drasven but frankly nothing much has changed beyond I got Domains and more spells?
You may be a bit ahead of your time, Drasven :)
To my knowledge, we are still Level 6, or my Mistress would already be a Sphere Singer, as well.
damm.... time to drop stuff.
Fixed
FYI, I will be camping with my son over the weekend until Tuesday.
I will try and post from my phone if possible, otherwise feel free to bot me if I take too long.
=)
Hey guys, thanks for your patience.
Had bunch of Work, Family and Health issue pop up that took my attention away from this and my other games.
Still have a fair bit of reading and prep left, but will endeavor not to take too much time.
Cheers, Al
Sounds good! Thanks for doing this!
Yeah baby! Its on now.
Hey guys, I've caught up with where you are and how you got there. Just a bit more book keeping on my end and we'll get you back at it!
Just wanted to say, some really nice RP you guys have had going on, it'll be a pleasure to continue your story!
whoo hoo.
Karmid smacks his huge hammer into his hand with a loud sound...then winces in pain.
'Cool beans!'
=)
Drasven snickers and calls upon his patron to sooth the big shoanti's pain somewhat....
Glad to hear.
Thanks!
Got bogged down in work this week, but expect a new post soon!
Another update.
I think I'm all sorted , but then remembered I'd forgotten to get ownership of the campaign.
Usually only take a couple of days, then we'll get the action started again.
Locked, loaded, and ready to rock and roll!
Casts bless...
