Traveling for work sounds like fun - like a mini-vacation!

Just got home from an unexpected work shift after having also been up all day yesterday, so I'm pretty dang tired. Post to come either later today or tomorrow.

Hey guys I won't be able to post today, please bot me as needed.

The messageboards seem really slow today. Is it just because it's Friday?

Probably because of the holiday weekend coming up! But there are always folks like myself with no plans who will still be lurking about :)

On that note, still at work but will post when I get home, which will be very soon!

I spoiled myself and purchased two miniatures today. I'm so excited to paint them. I mostly like painting the Reaper townsfolk, but I got a sorcerer and a rogue. Do you all ever play in-person?

I used to... a lot. Now I'm online exclusively. I find it means more role play, though I do miss the personal interactions at times. :)

My home group tries to play every other Sunday but the older we've gotten the harder it's become to find a time when everyone's schedules line up - another reason I've grown to enjoy PbP as much as I do.

Used to play quite a bit, but as for the others, I've learned to enjoy and prefer pbp.

Today is my birthday so posts may be slow.

Happy Catterday!

Happy Birthday!! Enjoy. :)

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthdayyyy! :)

Thank you. I had a lot of fun yesterday and today.

Glad to hear it! I hope everyone else has had a great weekend too :)

Quick update: the structure where I'm staying is experiencing some web issues and internet access is completely unavailable at the moment. They said they will fix the issue between today and tomorrow. Fingers crossed...

Hey guys, I'm glad to announce that I'm finally back! Sorry for my prolonged absence, it did not depend on me unfortunately. Expect a post from me within the day, and from tomorrow on, I will start posting with at my usual rate.

Hurray, the professor's back!

Welcome back! :)

I'm sorry about my posting.

Ouch. Take care Nidhi!

My brother is a middle school teacher and ran into some of what you're talking about - lots of illnesses as all the kids various bugs got into his system. Took him a while to ride it out, but he did, and now his immune system beats off all comers. Mostly. :)

So get well, take care of yourself, and I hope you feel better soon.

I'm sorry you've had such a crummy year for illness, Nidhi. I don't work with children specifically but I do work in healthcare and we're rapidly approaching the time of year where flu and strep throat start rearing their ugly heads - everywhere really, but especially among kids and the elderly. I've already seen some positive strep tests on school-aged children in the past week or two and I'm sure it's only going to get worse. Oddly enough though, we *didn't* see much of a spike in kids getting sick when school started about a month ago and normally we do.

Here's hoping you feel better soon!

Hey guys, could we swap the loot tracker for the current book? I am, and I will be in Paris for the whole duration of the year, and my rythms here are quite different from those I had at home, in Italy. Could anyone please take over the loot tracking duties for the moment?

I'm really awful at this, plus I generally post from my phone.

Side note: In the game I'm running, I've removed loot. I give some measure of WBL (in the game: straight WBL, but it could be different, like WB(L-1) or 80% of WBL). The only things I do not count are special AP items, which are the only things we keep track of. The rest is in the hands of each individual player.

I can try to keep track of the loot.

Thanks Nidhi; I would but I've already got too much to keep up with as it is!

Thanks Nidhi. Please PM me your gmail address again, I seem to have misplaced it. I'll get you access to the doc.

Thanks!

EDIT: I've brought the treasure sheet up to date, so you'll just need to worry about it going forward. Ping me in chat when you want a tutorial about how it works. It's not too hard to maintain - most of the time seems to be spent looking up values of magic items. :)

Trying to find inspiration. I'll post later.

Tired tonight and can't really focus on a post; I'll catch up tomorrow morning if I have time and if not then I'll do it when I get home from work!

OMGosh Ben, I'm in love with this song. I kinda wish I'd taken French instead of Spanish, lol.

Eh, oui, le français c'est une langue vraiment belle. Mais je n'aime pas la musique française :D

As a side note, I'm posting, sorry for the delay.

@Nidhi - Hey, at least French was an option for you! We only had Spanish and German offered at my high school. I really do wish the States were more proactive about offering foreign languages and at a younger age, too.

Why don't you like French music? What do you like to listen to Ben? Specific bands? Musicians?

Only two options, Florence?! Maybe I was lucky? We had Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Latin in high school. In middle school we had all of those except Japanese. I wish they taught kids a second language starting in elementary school.

I have a long history of failing languages. I did poorly with a Spanish tutor as a child, then failed French, Spanish, German, and a bit of Russian in high school and college. Well I got a 'D' in German to be fair.

I did learn Sanskrit though, and could do a fairly good translation of the Bhagavad Gita. Of course I've slept since then, and forgotten almost all I knew. :) I can't even translate the alphabet anymore.

It might be, depending on where you went to school Nidhi. I grew up in a small town so that probably explains the limited options; people I know who went to bigger schools or lived in more metropolitan areas usually had more options.

I enjoyed German, though I don't remember much of it now except certain phrases and words.

Checking in! I hope everyone has had a great weekend! I've spent all of mine at work but that's okay because I get sushi later today after I've had some sleep :)

Nidhi is fine with staying at the gate to help. I'm not sure what weren't supposed to be doing. Are we supposed to go around Wati and help random people? Or are we supposed to go back into the Necropolis?

I think we've kind of been unofficially recruited to help the Pharasmooks (or at least Ptemenib) out while they try to get a handle on what's going on and what might be causing all this trouble...or maybe where it's coming from, or both. Right now it sounds like trying to get back inside the Necropolis would be a challenge with all the undead piling up right at the gate (and I'd assume all along the walls).

Yup. Looks like it.

One of my friends just came back from a work trip in California and she brought back the most delicious (and cutest) macarons I've ever had! It's this place called Honey & Butter. They have these Nutella ones (which are amazing) and they even make ones in the shape of animals.

Cool beans! I've never had macarons before; what do they taste like?

Just to clarify. Do we need two disks to reduce the trips from 3 to 2, or to avoid carrying a wagon?

Assuming the party is going with Cahal, and requesting no wagon, you'll need two disks, and three trips.

If others are willing to pull the wagon, one disk reduces the trips to two total.

Out and about doing some things but I'll catch up later this afternoon/evening!

I'll be home in four hours to post.

Was going to post this morning after work but then the site died. I'll try and get in a post at work tonight but if not, it'll likely be Sunday before I can check back in as Saturday will be quite busy!

Yeah, this site was down for most of the day :(
