A canny remark indeed...
No internet for the next day. Posting on a phone atm.
Sorry!
Though Dramin is tied up at the moment on a goose chase.
Marsh is just listening for now. Please proceed.
Proceedin'!
Sorry all the people you guys try to interrogate keep dying. :(
But I can't let them spill all the beans at once, now, can I?
Warshawski come back!
My thoughts exactly! ;_;
Full day of Pathfinder and Pals. I'll try and post up Sunday.
Excellent news, sir! Congrats!
Whoooo Whooo!
Congrats sir!
Slow couple'a days, eh? :\ No worries. I've been pretty busy over the last couple of days myself.
In related news, I've finally finished playing Dark Souls, so no more subconscious references to it from me! No way, no how!
Yeah, been super busy. But I'll get something on site today.
Writing up a post now.
Come on gang jump in the discussion!
Sorry, been kind of consumed with taking care of my son, but I'm working on posting more :)
Marsh would go for the boots, but having them on the monk is cool. Marsh can have the monk sneak around with him better now.
The boots are for Acrobatics, cloak is for Stealth...I'm happy to share though, want the boots?
No keep them. Marsh wasn't really there for the discussion of what they were. He is more preoccupied with other worries and interests right now.
Dalton gets all the best stuff. ;)
Seems like we'll be heading to the Chenowitz fields, then. I'll get a post ready for that by tonight or tomorrow morning. Hopefully the former.
I look so dashing in this elvenwear.
Well, it is elven. I imagine it's probably quite snappy-looking.
Also, since it's magical, if I recall correctly it magically resizes to fit its current wearer- but I enjoyed your bit about refitting it too much to object. ;)
All right, then, folks. We've got our approach vectors; a hefty post describing the results will follow after I get off work. Be prepared!
Posting from a phone to inform of the holiday weekend we have here.
Won't be around much but will try to squeeze in a post or two if I can snag reception.
Sorry!
No worries, all. I had a super long live game today (8 hours roughly) and am too whipped to post tonight. I'll catch up with you fine folks in the morning!
Hey, gang, quick update! I was trying to wait and see if we'd get any input from Calwen on the situation before moving on to the next thing that happens, so if we haven't heard from our favorite elven knightess by the morning, happenings shall happen! Plus I'm tired etc. etc.
I'm getting my head on straight after the recent layoffs.
How's about a role call folks? Who's still around?
Red Leader standing by.
Dang female players keep leaving us
We need to quit waiting for them and ramp things up with those who are still hot on it. Calwen lets rock girl cause it is ass kicking time!
I'm still here. I'm slow to respond, just been a busy week at work with the shorter week this week.
I'm here, I'm sorry, I'm really overwhelmed at work (still behind at this very moment,) and when I get home I have a newborn to look after plus I'm still exhausted from my work day. Generally when I get home I've been napping/trying to sleep in between feedings and changings of my baby boy. Posting in all my campaigns - I want to get on top of things again, hopefully this Memorial Day weekend will let me do that.
Groovy, all who are still aboard!
Been a bit since we've had a post from Calwen; I'm hoping we haven't had a second loss! While I'm going to give our elf a little more time, if we do lose her I'm thinking of opening recruitment back up. Thoughts?
Dat pain dat comes from losin dem characters, doh... It's too real. ;_;
It's your call Budd. I'm in for the rest of the ride, this is Lovecraftian enough to have me until the end!
Makes me want to run Escape From Innsmouth...
After some more time, perhaps a week, yeah. We'll be at a point that we need the extra body just to survive.
Thank Nethys I prepped more Shield Scrolls...
Gulp.
I'm running an impromptu one-shot for some friends from out of town at the moment, just so you guys know. I'll update as soon as I can.
Also, holy crap, Dramin! That scythe was meant to be, eh?
...Whew, just finished that session for my out-of-town buddies (I was actually halfway through it when I made my last post). It was a hot mess, but fun. Exhaustion plays hell on my GMing skills, so I didn't do a great job, had no time to prep anything, and ended up making up a huge chunk of it on the fly... Picked monsters that were too weak, my BBEG got one-shotted with a crossbow of all things, and I came out of it feeling kinda cruddy... but apparently they had a lot of fun, so no harm done!
...But I'm also really tired and need some sleep. I'll post up in the morning.
Still no Calwen. :\
Hey we like your DM skills. We just gotta keep moving with the faithful you've got.
Having performed my share of on the fly stuff I've learned to take my players' word for it regarding fun level vs my self criticism. Judging on how well you're doing here, I'm with Marshy, you've got the skills.
In a "one-off" commentary, I've been really digging into the idea of faction motivations ("fronts" in Apocalypse World terms). Lumping your npcs and baddies into general moods/psyches and then giving them a central goal helps gms roll with the random acts of pcs. I just ran a session of dnd where I'd planned on having my big bad performing a ritual and completing it on day 5 based on the players' pacing and their contributions to the narrative. But when they found out the crux of the conspiracy early and chose to confront the baddie instead of going to town to warn the peeps, they hit the big bad a full day early. So I didn't game it knowing the baddie was still in the throes of the ritual, I just let it flow. They surprised him and his acolytes and wasted then all. (Buncha murder-hobos they are, intruding on a poor cult of Velsharoon...)
At any rate, the faction motivations help at a group npc and single npc level. And the gm won't feel so bad when the players crush their darlings.
So, I spent the whole day at the Georgia Renaissance Festival. Good times, steak on sticks. Super tired. Will take a nap and come back with a post as soon as possible.
Still no word from Calwen. Been two weeks, sent a PM. Might be headed for Warshawski territory, but we'll see. Dalton should be around soon if his last post was any indication.
So tired!
Hey gang. Busy weekend that wasn't planned and a Tuesday to match. I'm get caught up and posted by tomorrow.
Slow day, huh? I'd say that at this point it's safe to say we've lost both Warshawski and Calwen. Sorry, guys. That sucks.
I'll be back tonight with a post. Lost a big one on mobile during my lunch break at work. don't have the heart or breaktime to continue until I get a real computer.
(was also waiting on the cavalier,didn't want to push ahead and potentially cause problems)
It's cool. Just push ahead for now; no telling whether or not Calwen will be back.
Can we all hear the messaging?
I'd need Perception checks from you guys, considering the chaos of the fight going on, but yeah, you'd be able to hear it since you're all so close together. I'll roll 'em for you.
Okay, I'm going to say Bacarov heard it because it's directed at him, and I'll go ahead and let you have that one, Marsh. 25 is a tough one, so let's just say it's a bit garbled but you got the gist of it.
Also, just for the sake of clarity, what are you running toward, Dramin? Toward the house, back the way you originally came, into the field in the direction Warshawski was dragged, etc.?
Direction of the drag. In game I have no cause for alarm coming from the others and there is currently a cause for alarm here.
Soz!
I'm at a convention until tonight. Not sure if I will be able to post till then. Thanks for being patient with me!
Recruitment might be tough mid-session...but Bacarov did send that raven back to Magnimar waaaaaay back in Wolf's Ear, so there'd be a reason why two more folks show up. *shrugs* Just sayin'.
The harder part is getting them engaged rp-wise. One way around that might be to have a one off / one week interplay rp where the remaining characters are involved in a scene with them. Maybe just prior to leaving Magnimar?
Bottom line, the folks remaining here - hell, the whole group including the departed - are stinkin' good writers/rpers. Getting newbies into the mix won't be a thing.
Sounds like we're mostly open to a new recruitment. I'll get working on that tonight and tomorrow.
I can work with any new applicants toward finding a good way to incorporate themselves into the ongoing adventure. See how far I went out of my way to fit Calwen in? I don't know if I'd go THAT far again, but I don't mind a little homework.
