I get it, I get. I'll have a post up shortly. :P
I'm sorry for my absence. A few things have come up that have made it difficult for me to maintain focus and get into character. My ex has continued harassing me, including sending a string of rather explicit messages, and it's escalated to the point where police involvement sounds like the way to go.
On a lighter note, I've also been getting ready for my first solo overseas trip, which brings its own set of stresses. I'm trying to get my head back in the game, but right now, I'm scattered and not feeling particularly safe, so I'd appreciate your patience.
And sloooooowly getting back into the swing of things...
Sorry. I lost track of the game for a bit. I'm back now.
Sorry about not compiling that yet, but you're right. I am super busy and just haven't had the time. I'll do it asap, but that may not be for another day or more.
Hello. I'll be away from the forums for the next couple weeks. Posting will be somewhere between spotty and nonexistent, so bot me as much as you want. I'll return on the 14th of June.
Hi all, I just wanted to poke my head in and say hi. I haven't been around for a while because I had a family member in the hospital; I told DM-Salsa but I should have said something here too. Said family remember is out of the hospital and doing good so i'll be back posting this weekend.
Glad to hear the good news. :)
Fortunately, things are still plenty interesting and now the complications of this milk run have just shown up. :)
Thanks for everyone's patience. I'm back now, and am catching up with my games now. Expect a post either today or tomorrow, as time/energy allows.
I'm back, folks! Vacation was pretty great, and it's time for me to kick jetlag in the butt and start posting again. Bear with me!
I just noticed that I have two empty aspects that never got filled in. Any suggestions?
Out of curiosity, what's Anja doing during this whole impending combat?
Sorry, forgot to add that. I'll post that in a bit.
Hope you don't mind a little Deus ex Machina ;)
I don't mind Deus Ex Salsa. :)
Well, it's more like Character ex Machina.
Hi. I'll be back on Wednesday. Going camping with the family. Bot as needed.
*poke*
Anything going on?
Just waiting for Salsa. This happens sometimes, don't worry. He'll be back. Eventually.
Alright, no stress, then. As long as it's expected/normal.

Yeah, I've noticed that there are three types of games on the forums. The kind that are always continuous, the kind that are dead, and, about ten percent of the time, there are games that seem -like- they are dying, but they keep going along, stubbornly refusing to end.
I find that a lot of the life of the game is, at it's heart, dependent upon the GM, and so long as the players keep doing yeoman work responding, the game keeps going. Hell, I'm in one game that, once a week for the last six months, I was -sure- that "Yep, this time, there's no way it'll continue." C'est la vie.
I've been in a game of RotRL with Salsa that's been that way for years. Literally. I think we had our third birthday recently. Just finished book one.
Well, if I didn't feel bad about the news I bring before, I do now.
As Sirus says, I tend to plod along as a GM and while that makes things slow, I always seem to find the energy and gumption to keep going. Unfortunately, I've been feeling like I've been running on empty for a little while. I need to regroup and refocus, and unfortunately, that means I'm dropping several of the games I'm in. This one, the Tales of Aletheria game, and the RotRL game are all special to me in different ways. This one was the first Fate game I GMd where I felt I had a fairly decent grasp on the rules. Well, at least decent enough to stumble my way through it. It is also the only Sci-FI campaign I've ever run, and I've enjoyed it, save a rather embarrassing gaff on my part.
I do want to pick this back up, but I need to step away. I need to recharge. It's not fair to you guys, and for that, I am truly sorry. When I do, I hope you guys will be ready to fly the wild black yonder again.
If that's how it rolls, that's how it rolls. I'm good with waiting, since I know we're on hiatus.
It's ok, man. You know I'll always be here.
Take care of yourself, GM. I'll be around.
