GM Feral's Eyes of the Ten II (Inactive)

Game Master Feral

I'll be on holiday since Sunday February 21st to March 6th (two weeks - Malta then Venice), with limited access. I'll post as often as I can, but feel free to bot me if I don't post within 24 hours.

As a heads up, I will be taking the Illinois Bar Exam on Tuesday and Wednesday and travelling to Chicago on Monday. I am aiming to still get posts up, but I cannot promise that it will happen.

Also, mad jealous of Lithy.

So, I really want to finish out this series and our GM seems to have disappeared. Any thoughts on solutions?

I think we've all stuck around for as long as we have because we have a lot of respect for Tek as a GM with a good history, but this game has been pretty slow at times and seems to have come to a complete halt lately. If it were any other GM with less of a good reputation I think it would have been declared abandoned a long time ago but we've all been holding on out of respect for Tek. Unfortunately, we're never going to finish the way things have been going recently so-as much as I hate to say it-I think it's time to start looking for a replacement GM.

I just answered this in the Reborn Forge game, I am willing to give him more time. However, you might know more that I do on these issues. I'll go with whatever seems the best course of action.

Honestly I don't really know much more than anyone else except that this game sees an average update every 1-2 weeks and I messaged Tek last Monday and haven't heard back yet. He mentioned a while ago, around the beginning of the year maybe, that he basically doesn't have any time on the computer anymore, which has made it harder for him to find the time to update games. I just made the suggestion about a month ago or so that he give up a few games to lighten the load and make it easier for him to keep up but I think he was hesitant to do so probably because, like me, he doesn't like abandoning a game he started. I understand that impulse as a GM but as a player it can be frustrating when the updates are so infrequent. I feel kind of bad if we replace the GM without his permission but at this point I don't think we have a lot of choice if we ever want to finish. If Tek shows up some time this week though maybe he can decide which games he wants to keep and which he doesn't mind parting with but for now I don't think it is a bad idea to start looking for a new GM.

You definitely have the resources with the Flaxseed Lodge, you probably have the best forum to find people to take over.

:(

I'd be very sad if we were to look for another GM, but I also understand the other players' concerns, and also want to finish this series one day. I'm fine with waiting a bit more for Tek (at least have some news from him).

What book are you guys on?

I'm already running an EotT table but I could see taking over this one for Tek.

We are on the beginning of book two I believe

If you guys don't mind waiting a couple weeks for my table to catch up, I'll take over then. I'd prefer both tables be roughly on the same page.

That would be fine with me and would also give Tek some time to check back in and give his blessing I guess.

Yep, I can wait. I have a few games to keep me busy... as always.

I also agree with this proposal.

I'll agree with that. It sounds fair to Tek and to all of us.

Dot.

Everyone still on board for DM Panic to take over since it seems that Tek is good and gone from the boards?

@Panic: Are you still willing to take over?

Yes, I'm ready to move on as soon as possible. We haven't gotten an update for a month and a half. I think it's time to start again.

I'm ready either way. Let's do this.

I'm ready to start when ever

Me too

Still aboard!

Any update on this or have I missed something?

I contacted DM Feral. His group is currently on the last fight of the first scenario. We should be good to go after it is over for them.

My first table for EotT is wrapping up book one now so I'll be good to pick up yours within the next couple days.

How big is this group? One of the players at my other table seems to have vanished and I don't plan to NPC him through the rest of the series.

It is a six person group not including two animal companions.

In that case, I'd really appreciate it if someone could jump ship for the other table.

The table is currently two wizards and a cleric. Something beefy and/or frontliney would be good.

I would prefer to stay with Atum. Whether that means I move with Atum to the other thread or stay here, I will be fine. :D

I was about to say the same thing. Atum and Karu have fought side-by-side in a couple adventures now (nearly in the buff on one occasion) and they make a good team.

I would really prefer to stay with Atum and Karu (both the players and the characters), if possible.

I'm not beefy or a frontliner and yes, I've played with these players too much to want to leave.

I'm helping you guys out by picking up this game. Work with me.

Adaxis? Zandu?

Yeah I will bite the bullet for the team and for Gm Feral. I will briefly read over their last game so I have so I have some ideal of their group cohesion. Dm Feral thank you for picking up this game ill dot the other one mid Sunday or early Monday.

Thanks Zandu.

Zandu, I can cross over if you prefer to stay put. I just saw the discussion. You guys have a pretty tight group whereas I jumped in from the masses

I appreciate the fact that you're both willing to switch over. If you both want to go I can probably talk one of the wizards at my other table to come over here.

More beef would be welcome on the other side tbh

Okay, Adaxis and Zandu please check in to my other game here.

Hey kids, your friendly neighborhood arcane caster checking in. I am waiting to hear from Feral if I come in as is or I can change my spells to better interact with you all.

You're welcome to change up your spell selection.

Once you've updated your spells please catch up with the last couple pages of gameplay. Assume you were with the party from the moment they re-entered the Maze of the Open Road.

Was Tek running faction missions for you guys?

No, he wasn't.

Gotcha.

Atum, are you large all the time or is your stat block just when you're using your ka stone enlarge?

Gotcha.

Atum, are you large all the time or is your stat block just when you're using your ka stone enlarge?

No, that's only when he uses his ka stone to enlarge, which he can do three times a day. I meant to put two stat blocks in his profile but I must've accidentally replaced the regular medium-sized one. I'll fix it later.

No, that's fine. I was just curious if there was something going on that I couldn't figure out. If I need medium stats for some reason I'll just ask.

Krynrac are there any specific circumstances in which I should assume you're using divine interference?

A couple things to mention is that I do have an animal companion, Boomer II, who is a wolf. I also have Improved Snap Shot so I threaten an expanded area (though I'm not sure I've ever had a chance to use it yet). Favored enemies are Goblinoids, Humans and Evil Outsiders.

Ah, I missed the animal companion. The slave that brought you inside would have asked that you keep him outside. Would Faldoc have forced the issue?

Nah, doubt it. Half the time I forget to use him anyway.
