Agree with Sorkesh and Theshen! The important is that you're still with us and hope you're still up for continuing the campaign.

Also, Sorkesh, GM thumbs up on the last couple of posts.

Agreed on Sorkesh's unique brand of diplomacy!

Thanks. That was kind of fun, actually.

Having some natural charisma, but being a bit of a putz/clown/dimwit/prat with subtle diplomacy.

So, anyone fancy trying to deceive her?

Because Theshen is not good at bluffing!

OK! Finally able to post again.

Not going to post details here on a public board, but let's leave it at reduced vision after two eye surgeries and many weeks recuperating in a face-down position.

I'm ready to deal with the new normal and rejoin the group. I'll spend some time reading the thread and see how this might work.

Welcome back! Hopefully with well-healed eyes.

So…are you guys still here? Shu-kri, Sorkesh?

I was hoping that someone with more savvy than Theshen would have chimed in. I'll post.

Yes! My bday weekend, so I've been a bit useless!

@Theshen: yeah, your call was definitely reasonable. The lack of reaction was sad, but at least your rolls were pretty good =)

A few words.

It's been over a fortnight since anyone but myself and Omelas have posted in the gameplay thread. I get that people can be busy, or distracted, or sick. But no one else posting in two weeks is getting frustrating. If I wanted a solo game, I'd look for one.

I'm going to leave it there until or unless someone else posts in gameplay.


Maps | NPCs | Circus rules

I completely understand and share the frustration, Theshen. It's particularly jarring as you have been directly asking for the others' help, and there's basically no reply. My efforts in discussing this don't seem to have any lasting effect and it doesn't feel right to put up a recruitment thread when the posting rate is "once per day, but really once every two weeks or so, perhaps."

I'll be honest: this whole situation is sucking the joy out of the campaign for me. The only thing that is keeping me from calling it quits is a sense of duty and a belief that the GM should sink with the ship, so to speak, but even that is wavering.

I've been very spotty at best, and it has gotten worse. I like the game and characters, I just don't fully "know" my character yet, which is my own fault.

Even posts with reactions to the situation would be good. Those both add flavour, and show the character's personality more.


Maps | NPCs | Circus rules

That's good advice, Theshen, thanks.

Shu-kri, is there something I can do to help you get to know your character better? For instance, some sort of situation you would be curious to see Shu-kri in? I'm more than happy to help.

It's not from lack of your effort, boss. Between work-problems, a character I never fully nailed down, and some pretty mediocre in-game rolls she's just been kind of "there." I'm working on it. And with poor Theshen taking up the slack of all of us, she hasn't been able to interact with others and get fleshed out more.

Hi, Everyone!

First off, apologies for leaving anyone in the lurch by my weeks-long absence. Unfortunately, it’s my turn for that “real life” stuff to get in the way of all my fun. *sigh*

Between the time spent on my studies and other commitments, I simply have neither the energy nor the wherewithal to carry on with role-playing. Sadly, this means that I have to take a hiatus from role-playing. A real shame, as it is one of my favorite pastimes. I sat down and had a good think about it, but this is for the best, as my studies have to come first.

Playing with everyone here has been a pleasure. I always enjoyed seeing how the stories we collaborated on in the RPG environment move along nicely. It has been a pleasure and an honor playing with everyone here. I wish I was able to continue, but it would be profoundly unfair to everyone else (players and GM) if I could only commit to a sporadic appearance at best.

As the Romans would say: “Valete!” (all of you be strong/be well/farewell)

--------------------

PS: @ GM Omelas: free to bot Sorkesh as you see fit until someone else can fill my shoes.

That is unfortunate, Sorkesh, but understandable. All the best in your endeavours.

I'm sorry to hear that, Sorkesh, but appreciate your honesty. All the best to you and hope you can soon come back to your favourite hobby.

To the ones who remain: I'm a bit busy until Friday, but will update you soon with a proposal on how to move forward. I'm also about to wrap this scenario so your PCs can rest and level up (finally!).

Oooh, Shu-Kri is about to get a lot more useful! Haha

And Theshen might gain a few knowledges. :)

Apologies, didn't notice I posted with the wrong alias until it was too late. Panegyric is my default account. I have made a new post and flagged the other for removal.

No worries, I've had a distracting and tiring few days myself.


Maps | NPCs | Circus rules

Hello Theshen and Shu-kri,

Apologies for my silence: I was first waiting for Shu-kri to post, and then, as has started happening more and more often in the past few months, diverted my attention to other activities. I’m sorry to say, but I’m no longer invested enough in this campaign as I once was, which has turned this nice little experiment into something of a chore.

I will give the narrative some closure now, but as of next monday I will consider the campaign finished.

I thank you (as well as our past companions) for your effort and your willingness in taking part in this game. I hope you had some fun (I know I did) and that, despite all our problems, it was a worthwhile experience.


Male NG Human (Osiriani) Oracle of Life 1 (divine herbalist) | HP: 10/11 Temp: 0 | AC: 15 (16 buckler) (11 Tch, 14/15 Fl) | CMB: +2, CMD: 13 | F: +2, R: +1, W: +5 | Init: +1 | Darkvision 60ft, Perc: +0/+2 in dim & dark, SM: +0 | Speed 20ft | Lay on Hands: 4/4 | Spells: 1st 0/4 | Active conditions: 2 strength damage

That's understandable. Thank you for the campaign, I had fun with it. All the best.

It was fun and hopefully I'll play with you again one day.

Likewise, folks. All the best to you!

Sorry to see the game has collapsed while I was gone. (yet another (!) eye surgery)

I'd love to join any and all of you in the future now that I've got some vision back and can read fairly comfortably.
