I thought of something that would really help games like this move along: some way of subscribing for a quick e-mail to tell us that someone has just posted in our game.
A radio control form that I read a lot has that. When I'm just reading a thread, I turn it off, but if I've got a discussion going with someone it really helps keep things moving.
On warseer I think you could do that...though I never could figure out how to make turn it on with some posts and off with others, so kept getting emails about every stupid little thing I threw an opinion out on.
Wish they did that here. I think I'm going to send out some more messages and try and salvage this campaign, but it's not looking good. Might need to get my butt into overdrive on getting Age of Worms up and running. I'll put that as a public thread for anyone to apply, but you are auto in Kjartan.
You can subscribe to the RSS feed by clicking the RSS icon on the top right corner of the page, but it only really works if you actually check and use RSS feeds. I don't.
Of course I've been following the thread just not really sure what to do. I was just sort of going to let it happen and go from there.
Aha...that would have been good to know. Let me throw a post up over there and see who all is still paying attention. Good to have you still here, or back, or whatever you wanna call it.

Ok ok finally finished the character. Sorry for the delay, had a really rough last few days.
Twistle is a longtime explorer and archaeologist who has popped in and out of history for the last 50 years, usually vanishing for 10 or 15 years at a time and showing up with books full of notes and a few carloads of artifacts. He's fairly well respected as an academic, though his fanatically competitive nature in his field has earned him a lot of enemies. At the age of 70 he had a chance to work with Professor Lorrimor on an important Aklo find on the edge of the Sodden Lands, and the Professor took an immediate liking to the quirky gnome. They became fast friends and pooled their academic resources, working together until Twistle's driving need to explore drove him off into the wilderness again.
Twistle was glad to recieve word that Lorrimor wanted him, as he needed an excuse to get away from Taldor, where a successful (but less than subtle) attempt to sabotage a competitor's wagon lead to him being falsely accused of murder.

Anyways, character looks good so far, though I haven't gone through it in super fine detail, but if I notice anything I'll let you know. I'm going to have you as an acquantance of father Grimburrow, another gnome, who is Ravengro's resident high priest (cleric of Pharasma). Right now your character is with him, the few towns people who actually showed up to the funeral, and a pair of grave diggers. The party should be catching up to you in no time flat.
What reference(s) are you guys using for Zaroff's gunslinger?
Ultimate Combat, though the class originated as a downloadable PDF in the UC playtest that ran a month/couple months ago. You interested in multiclassing?
For those interested, I just opened a recruitment thread for Age of Worms.
Thinking about a crazy dwarven alchemist/gunslinger for the other game, or maybe just a dwarven alchemist/metal smith inventing new and painful ways to deliver his explosive presents.
For those interested, I just opened a recruitment thread for Age of Worms.
Proposed Dwarven alchemist moving along nicely.
Mid-terms always suck. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
Very anoyed with life right now. I'm officially putting this campaign on hiatus. No clue when I'll be able to get back to it, but I'm not able to move things forward, and it's not fair to let you guys dangle without word. Sorry
As posted elsewhere, I plan on getting this up and running again toward the end of March. Those interested in playing should get ahold of me (this is mostly directed toward the existing characters, though pending how many return there may be slots open) Either post here, email me, or respond to my Facebook if you're interested...no need to do more than one (guess for those with my number a phone call or text would work too).
