No worries, GM. As the others have mentioned, thanks for keeping us in the loop.
This is a token post so that nobody goes and forgets about this game. :)
Who are you? Where are we? I feel like I'm in some black nebulous void...
Oh, I'm trapped in a cauldron.
Someone take this opportunity to replace all the currently in use dice with fresh ones that are not cursed!
Have you heard the one about the gnome that walked in to the cauldron?
Do tell!
The cauldron walked off with him and he was never heard from again.
I sure hope not! I wasn't done making stew...
I do not think that stew is going to suit my elven palette, however, I would be happy to let you borrow my herbs and spices to make it perfect for yours!
You might be surprised at my cooking ability, young half-elf. Could you spare a pinch of oregano?
Yes, of course! Here is the oregano, it is just unfortunate that I am a vegan.
TARAN KEEP THE LID CLOSED!!!
Is there even enough meat on those bones to count, Quaylon? The stew will be practically vegan...
And then there was the one about the halfling that ran into the cauldron...
Hey I am back, going to try this some more.
I am fighting the disinterest bug pretty heavy. Not sure why but I am willing to attempt to continue. If for no other reason than you guys or gals are a pretty good group.
How can we help? A PbP (or live game) should be fun for the GM as well as the players... is there anything we can do to make it more enjoyable for you?
indeed, if there is anything we can do, let us know!
Perhaps you all can help me with my work here. Apart of my time is spent making a one shot con game that is Cthulhu Now Zombie Apocalypse.
Do any of you have any ideas for iconic zombie fighting characters. Need eight have
Mother - defends daughter to her dying breath.
Girl Child - Zombie Bait Survival.
Lone Vagabond - always finds something useful.
Up and coming Rap artist - seems to attrack...trouble
Ex-convict/Prisoner - self-serving, but realizes that he'll survive longer as part of a team. Can kick some serious a$$.
Army Ranger/Navy Seal - knows tactics, familiar with heavy weapons, etc.
- EDIT -
Geek/Gamer - knows the lore, all but useless in a fight
- 2nd EDIT -
Old-timer Ex-Military - Vietnam vet or the like, crotchety grandpa, stuff like that.
I wonder how much better it would be to change the Army guy into a cop. Give a bit of edge to the Rp, should the players want to.
Oh and I forgot to add. The Doctor, knows a lot of stuff, and it only seems to make everything worse.
What about an academic of some sort? Maybe a college professor? Knows a ton -- heh, just read Makvor's edit, which is basically the same as this suggestion. Might be more fun as a gamer, though.
So would it be better to have a Professor type or a Doctor type. There isn't a lot of differance with the persona so much as skill base, thou there could be a cross ulitiy thing going on there.
So long as this Academic/doctor allows for the campaign hook.
Which is, as the zombie outbreak is upon them and the military is declaring and praticing martial law everything goes to sh*t. The characters are saved by/run accross a friend of the Doctor/Academic. Who turns out to be something of a serial killer, but has just been living with it for years. Now that the end of days is upon them he sees fit to do whatever he wants, which is kidnap the PCS through drugs and put them into a SaW like senerio, but with NPCs.
I got the trap worked out for that too, or at least the mechanic.
A hippie might be fun...
For the knows-stuff role, I'd lean more toward a professor with "friends" in low places.
Well guys I think rather than drag this out any further it might be better just to close it off.
Its not so much as I have completely lost interest I simply do not have the time.
Thanks for the good times, I hope you find another game.
Can't say I'm not disappointed, but it was fun while it lasted.
I agree, I enjoyed it immensely
Fair enough. Thanks for the fun, GM.
If you wouldn't mind closing out the campaign and removing us as players so that it won't show up in our active campaigns list, that would be great.
I am good with that
Sorry to see you go.
I'm open to a another GM, if we can find one.
Sure, why not? Who wants to take the lead on finding another GM?
I'd certainly be happy to see this keep going if we can find someone, as I only got 3 posts in before it died.
If one of you players wants to step up and lead this, I'd be fine with that too.
I can post a GM Recruitment thread in a few minutes, provided no one else wants to take it over. I'll double-check with Oglon and make sure he's on board, and post a link to the recruitment thread here as soon as I have it up.
Posted GM recruitment thread here.
Keep an eye on it if you don't mind, so we can answer any questions and interrogate any poor saps^H^H^H^H^H^H I mean prospective GMs who post.

I appreciate you taking the lead on this. Solid post.
Thanks.
A strategic bump or two might be in order... I find that sometimes the time of day makes a huge difference in who sees the thread.
I just tossed a "bump" out there to make sure it stays near the top.
Yes, I am on board with it...
It would be a shame to have it end so soon...
Perhaps I'll bump in the am...
Edit: Or maybe now.
I saw your in the am and did it now :P
Hehe. You guys are great.
It's not looking so good.
Alright, guys. Sending out PMs to get your feedback on our prospective GMs; if you have anything you'd like to ask them, either post it in the thread, PM it to them (and then let the rest of us know, preferably by PM), or PM it to me and I'll ask. After that, please PM me your thoughts/preferences with regard to the prospects, and I'll try to facilitate a (private) group discussion/decision.
Hey, peoples.
In addition to the names I gave in the PMs I sent, I've got a friend who's got a friend who may be willing to GM for us, or failing that may be able to find us a GM. My proposal is that we decide on a new GM by this weekend (whether it's one of the other current volunteers, or someone new that my friend's friend provides).
Does that seem reasonable?
works for me
I rule Batista out at this point.
So I've got a volunteer... a reasonable guy, in fact. I know him from the MUD I help administer, though I've not known him for more than a few months.
The only proviso (so far) is that he only runs games on myth-weavers, so we'd have to relocate to that site. I've already got an account there, so that's not a problem for me -- how do you all feel about it? Deal-breaker?
The volunteer and I had the following conversation (pardon the language; posting it as-is):
<Prospective GM> tells you 'I can do about 1 per 2 days, realistically. And I can't do weekends just cause that's my family time (I post from work). I'm pretty easy going to deal with. I'm not a serious GM in the least (no heavy dramatic roleplay from me), and generally stick with simple and easy.'
You tell <Prospective GM> 'Hrm, what do you mean by the roleplay bit?'
<Prospective GM> tells you 'In the world of TV shows, I'm closer a long ways from the Breaking Bad or the Sopranos and closer to something like Doctor Who or crappy ass sitcoms. I roleplay, but I don't do the drama side for crap.'
<Prospective GM> tells you 'Getting drama from me would be like getting Sci-Fi from Shakespeare- it'd feel false and hacked on. I do lighthearted roleplay just fine.'
You tell <Prospective GM> 'Seems fine to me... the players are generally the ones doing any dramatic roleplaying, at least in my experience.'
<Prospective GM> tells you 'There's a forum here: http://www.myth-weavers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=24380 you and the other players can chat me up there if ya like'
You tell <Prospective GM> 'Whatcha want us to chat you up about? ;)'
<Prospective GM> tells you 'Make sure you all have the same expectations I do. Never know when a guy might rule that taking 10 sucks :P'
Edit to make the link a link. You can click on The Uncommon Room for the Q&A thread he started for us. I've begun by asking about his house rules.
<Prospective GM> tells you 'Make sure you all have the same expectations I do. Never know when a guy might rule that taking 10 sucks :P'
I like him already.
I love Myth Weavers, I have an account there. It is actually my preferred site. If it was not for this game and our other one, I would actually no longer be on these forums.
I recommend hitting the link in Mrachni's post about and getting involved i the conversation. With any luck, we can finish up the current module and maybe even keep going!
