Holy hell a lot of posts have happened in very rapid succession. I'll see if I can get caught up today!
Yup, that's the current version, which is better if you're maxed in the relevant subject though worse if you are not. Ye olde Bardic Knowledge.
Post coming up tomorrow guys ^_^
Hey Harthresh, I understand better than most that people do get busy, but I haven't heard anything from ya in quite awhile. Post something to let me know you're still alive and interested - got a waiting list for this campaign. :) Don't want to lose you after that epic intro!
I'm still here and following along.
Good to hear. I know not every situation is tailored to the playstyle of every character, but I think everyone has something to contribute to a scene, even if it's small. Something as insignificant as your personal thoughts, written in italics of course, helps to keep the story thriving.
Really excited about this campaign, guys, I think it's going to be a lot of fun. My word document for personal lore grows by the day. :)
Question, did they take the Riekling to lock him up? Or is he still in Lysira's grasp? I doubt we need to haul him around everywhere...
That's up to you, Lysira. As your comrades were getting up to go, what did you do with your prisoner? He's firmly in your grasp, you can control where he goes very easily.
Working on a post now. Yesterday was full of meetings and conference calls both in and out of normal hours.
Just wanted to say, I'm not dead, despite my inactivity. Still folowing, I just havent found anything to contribute in the meantime.
Likewise. I am paying attention daily, but will post when it feels right.
I feel kinda bad actually. A lot of recent developments have been a whole lot of just me. Them Coldborn hangin' on my every word and all, you know.
Please let me know if I'm doing too much (or too little, I suppose).
It comes with the territory of being on...home territory. I expected there to be greater opportunities for Harshuk and Arren to shine in the beginning, but I'm hoping that I can give everyone in the party something to sink their teeth into. If I'm failing at that, suggest something to me to improve it.
no complaints here.
There, I was beginning to drift off a little. none of your fault though, Frogfoot.
Brief stint in the ol' hospital after taking a bad tumble. Am okay now, will try to post tomorrow.
glad to hear you're okay!
Guys, it's really hard for me to post this, but I can't continue this anymore. I'm burned out, frustrated, and exhausted, and I need an extended break from DMing on these boards.
This is through no fault of any of you - you're exemplary players, as fine as any a DM could ask for. The fault is mine for putting too much on my plate and continuing it for too long.
I'm sorry.
When I'm less frustrated with myself I will come back to these boards to try and start up a campaign again. It might not be under Pathfinder rules, as the system's many rules are contributing to my anxiety about DMing. I hope that we all can remain friends, play together again someday, and remember this brief campaign fondly.
Oh no :(
As sad as I am to see this campaign end, as I was very intrigued by its roots, I completely understand where you're coming from. I've skirted the edge of that frustration and burn-out myself in the past, and I hope you find a way to enjoy it again in a healthful and productive way, or that your absence from it makes you a happier and healthier person.
Thank you for DMing this, short as it was. It was enjoyable. You have me as a player should you ever need one.
Something you do for fun should never seem like it's a chore. I've greatly enjoyed playing under you, DM Frogfoot. I wish you the best and hope we cross paths again on these boards.
What they said. Health and happiness, man.
Hey, as long as we're all here, I kind of want to plug for my own adventures. If you're looking to fill a hole in your PbP experience, perhaps the one created by DM Frogfoot retiring, hit me up. I have a few spaces (maybe two or three) in my various PbPs that are potentially open. You're all good writers, so I'd like you if I'd like anyone. PM me if you're interested.
It sucks when it happens but it's totally understandable. You're a fantastic DM, I'd love to play with you again sometime. But absolutely take time to recuperate. Hell I'm just starting to run a game after having taken a year off from DMing. Everyone needs a break sometime. <3

I'm playing in three of said games and I can vouch that he's an excellent DM and you should absolutely join one of them.
Thanks guys. It really means a lot to me that you understand...I really hated the idea of letting you all down when we all spent so much effort to get here with badass characters. :(
No worries Frogfoot! You have a good DMing style for PbP, offering all sorts of hooks for us to grab onto, and it was fun playing with all of you.
And if you're looking into new systems, I'd like to plug Legend, which seems like a very cool system to me. It's available as a free download on their site.
Well jeeze, first I find out that my RSS feed wasn't working, then this...
Seriously though, sorry to see this end, but if you're heart's not in it your heart's not in it. I know what that's like, albeit in other circumstances.
If and when you do decide to return, I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we'd certainly like to be part of that :) And if you decide not to come back, I hope you find something at least as enjoyable to do ;)
Hey again guys. I've licked my wounds and recovered from my injured pride from canceling my precious campaigns, but you know I couldn't stay down for long.
I won't be DMing Pathfinder again, first of all. I love and respect Paizo and its products with all my heart for the part they played in my gaming development, but I can't deal with the huge volumes of rules and things to remember. Puts too much stress on me as a DM. I mentioned earlier to some of you that I was looking into Dungeon World, and I wanted to express to you guys that I am doing it.
This is a private recruitment drive that I'm posting in my former campaigns, to be fair to my favored players. I don't need the general riffraff of the boards if I have a cadre of players I have personal experience with.
If you're interested in participating in a PbP Dungeon World campaign on these boards, post here and let me know. Please, if you are interested in the game, research it and how it works - there are some ideas in the game that are foreign to Pathfinder or D&D, even though DW and D&D have many common roots.

Check out the character sheet PDFs above if you're unfamiliar with the rules. They don't explain everything but they should give you some context for how the game works.
Here's the Barbarian class character sheet, which isn't included in the original link of character sheets.
