I'm back in town. Ready to rock. And I'm good with either approach ... pausing or moving forward with botting. :)
Welcome back! I say we keep moving--inertia is the death of AP's. :)
I have moved myself up, so I'm fine with us going forward; the map shows Chiquq's position accurately for her summoning plan. Do you need one of us to declare in thread 'now doing it', or...?
I'm back as well!
Paizo has obligingly given us terrible web service, so we all felt like we were away!
Seriously, I am starting to wonder if we should move this to Myth Weavers. They need better IT support.
What was the result of Yrja's detect magic? Or did she not detect anything?
Hey all. Just as things are getting juicy, I am going to be traveling for a few weeks -- until August 2. I may have some internet access and ability to post, but it remains to be seen. Sorry for the inconvenience; bot me as needed...
I was out this weekend for some much needed camping after some family craziness, and I will be out again from July 22-29, so...this battle may take a little bit. This is the LAST battle before the end of the chapter and many revelations, so please stay tuned for more Reign of Winter awesomeness as soon as Teb and Hommelstaub get what they richly deserve! Finger across the neck means death!
As promised, I am out from 7/23-7/29. We shall resume in very late July!
Hey, I know the game has lagged a bit, so I'll do my part to give it a good kick when I return. Inertia is no good for PbP. However, I am very determined to GM this one all the way, so...Excelsior!
Enjoy your camping!
Have a great time!
I’ll be out of on vacation starting tomorrow morning through next Wednesday. Bot me as necessary. :)
Caelum and Imendri posts incoming. This game shall not die! *flogs game*
Yay!
And I am out camping until 8/4, so stop-start! :D But it will! not! Die!
*sues for whiplash injuries*
I'm out camping for the weekend, but it looks like Hommelstraub is up before me anyway. See you guys on Monday!
I'm getting over a nasty virus, so the coughing of the Black Rider has some personal inspiration. :0
I'm camping from Thursday to Sunday and will have noooo reception, so I'm pressing the Pause button. :)
Maybe Imendri and Caelum can catch up? They still need to choose attribute additions and interact. Anyone heard from them?
I will be on holiday for two weeks starting tomorrow. While I will do my best to keep up with all my campaigns and post from my phone, internet access may be spotty in the uncharted wilderness of Romania, so if I suddenly disappear then please bot me as needed.
Watch out for babau and virkolaki!
Looks like Baba Yaga has been found!
Are Skald and Irreseni the same language?
Yes, they are. Irriseni Skald and Linnorm Skald sound slightly different. They have been separate for 700 years or so, but are mutually intelligible.
(I like to make things up)
Got it. Dezső sounds lousy in either variant!
Fixed HP totals for Imendri--and Dez and Brae, on my HL sheets--I was counting HP incorrectly for 2nd level, because I had the dumb. All is well now. :D Thank you Imendri!
Hey, guys, just wanted to apologize and update. Work and life are eating up all my time (and mental energy). Sorry i have been absent. i likely won't be able to really post meaningfully (or really even catch up) until next week.
Sorry. :/
No worries, Brae. I'll move us once Chiquq posts, knowing that Brae and Yrja may be DMPC'd.
Folks, I will be in Spain from 10/11-10/18, so I probably won't be able to post much during that time. We're going to try to spend only a short amount of time in Barcelona...
I may not get a chance to post again until Monday, going on a short camping trip. I might be able to before then, but if you wind up waiting on me, feel free to bot.
Finally have time to post. I was pretty jet lagged/busy for a few days...
Well, those dice were not kind. :\ Poor Ila.
So, yeah, death may occur in my games, but if your character dies, you can of course whip up a new character.
Hey, I'd rather it my animal companion rather than a fellow PC!
(Chiquq may not agree.)
I've been listening to a lot of the Discern Realities podcast, and one of the hosts likes a nice juicy grimdark campaign where lots of PCs die. I don't think I prefer that much death, but it would be boring if y'all felt like this was a cakewalk and you were all immortal.
Snake eyes! :-/
So sorry about Ila! Seeing that is definitely making Dezső nervous.
And how annoying about the eaten posts. I guess Yrja and Dez are up. Dez is gonna have to retreat before he goes the way of Ila...
It was a lovely post, too. :( However, this gave Imendri another chance to post, so yay!
It's still hiccupping for me over here, so I'll post when I can!
These boards still keep logging me out, but it appears to be ...slower? Sorry for the break, all--I was just getting fed up with the site maintenance around here. GM posts tend to be longer and I had had two get eaten. Anyhow, I put up a short post, and we're back in action!
And there was probably soft cover on Nadya's roll but UGH, this wolverine needs to die already.
(╯'□')╯︵ ┻━┻
Dice gods! Well, you do have some spells left, don't ya?
Daze and Guidance, pretty much. Everything else was burned during the previous fight.
Ahhhh. Yeah, it sucks to be a witch sometimes.
I'm having a hard time even catching up on my games, folks. I haven't been able to read our game thread since we crossed though the portal, and I don't think i'll be able to put the time into it today, either. :/
I'm not sure if I should pull myself out or put myself officially "on hold" until i can get back into the groove of things (which is likely not until our work busy season ends; not for another month or two).
I'm very sorry, everyone.
Here are my thoughts as GM; please feel free to chime in. :)
-I have been botting people here and there in order to keep momentum going. I think momentum and story telling is paramount in keeping an AP alive, and if the price is that some people get botted here or there, it's better than waiting, or having someone drop out of the game because they feel guilty.
-If people do drop out, I think I will not recruit more. I have noticed that six is a big party--not undoable, but it can take longer for everyone to get their turn. This is not to encourage anyone to drop out! We're a good group, and 4-6 is what the game is built for. I have ratcheted the difficulty slightly to adjust for 6 and that's making the järv fight more difficult. I think I will ratchet it back down a little. :D
-So, with this in mind, I'd love to keep Braegan in the game and bot away until things are ok again, and the same goes for anyone who goes on vacation (well, except for me--no botting the GM :D).
I think you all are great players and are running interesting characters. Life gets in the way and I totally understand that.
does this work for everyone? And if anyone does not want to publicly reply for fear of hard feelings, just PM me.
This works for me.
Works for me.
Cool with me
