Sorry, life has been hectic. I have a couple of Gameday games wrapping up, so that will free up time for my others. I will have a new post up in the next couple of days.
How are things, GM Alias? Are you ok to keep this going?
I hate to do this, but due to recent changes in work load, I'm afraid I can't dedicate the time to this game that it, and you, deserve. I really have enjoyed playing with all of you. These have been some of the most creative and engaging characters I've encountered.
I can leave this game active for a few days if you want to try to find another GM. Otherwise, I will inactivate it, and you can move on to the next adventure.
Sorry to hear that GM Alias. Thank you for stepping up to the plate when our first GM fell through.
What does everyone think? I'm inclined to try, but I think we have little chance of getting a second replacement. :(
More seriously, thank you GM Alias for stepping in. It is hugely appreciated. I would love to keep this game going if possible, although I recognise that is unlikely.
That said, we haven't posted in-game for over a month so it will 'inactivate' of its own motion very soon. Please would you keep it as active for a bit longer while we try to find someone.
Thanks again, it's been fantastic.
OK, I've heard from our original DM who is willing (indeed, eager) to give it a second shot. Seems like a perfect solution to me!
Thanks for all of your hard work, GM Alias. I greatly appreciate your picking this game up when it went dormant those many months ago, and have enjoyed greatly playing at your (virtual) table. Best of luck with the new work commitments.
As for Olmek coming back, sounds great to me!
Mixed feelings!
Alias come back when stuff calms down, it was a pleasure, and one I hope to share again next time you are either looking for companions to roll with or players to run in through your campaign.
Wow - that's pretty much the best possible outcome! I'd very little hope of finding a replacement at all, let alone one who had already been running the game.
Good to see you like the idea too - let's get this game up and running again!
Hey guys, GM Olmek here. Thanks for having me back. When I left, losing this game was my biggest regret.
I'm not sure who I've apologized to since I disappeared, so I'll just get all of this out of the way right now. Before I left, I mentioned a family emergency. I went AWOL for a week, came back and tried to get back into the games I was running, but depression hit me hard.
I'm sorry for leaving without explaining anything. Now I'm feeling much better and I'm ready to get back into the swing of things.
One side note: to Jon A., aka GM Alias aka Wakati, I want to thank you for picking up this game when I dropped it. It's two years old now and the same core of players are here, keeping it strong. That's a hard feat to pull off and you're the biggest reason why. If you ever feel like you want to come back as Wakati, you're more than welcome.
I'm eager to get this started back up. It shouldn't take me more than a day to catch up to where the party is now. Look for a new gameplay post either this evening or early tomorrow!
Yay! I hope that Wakati can join us!
No worries on the disappearance, Olmek. Stuff happens. I look forward to the next gameplay post!
...and they all lived happily ever after.
Oh no - wait. Ustalav.
Welcome back!
Playing is a LOT less work than running, Wakati :)
Take all the time you need Olmek... er Robogeisha. Pacing is key to long term survival. Welcome back.
Still catching up on the gameplay side, although I have some good news. GM Alias has mentioned in a PM that he wants to return as Wakati. :D
Dreams do come true!
This has just worked out so perfectly...
This has just worked out so perfectly...
except the Ustalav part. Always with the Ustalav.
Happy holidays, all!
Okay, so it turns out I didn't have the time today. A friend surprised me for lunch, then my grandparents showed up out of the blue, and then it was off to my friend's new place for a housewarming party. I will have a post ready to go as soon as I possibly can.

Happy new year everyone!
Or is it new? (Wakati is never quite sure.)
Happiest of holidays!
Happy holidays!
After a few weeks of trying to keep on top of things as a player, I just don't think my schedule is going to cooperate just now. So I'm going to bow out as a player as well. Thanks for the opportunity to still be involved. I've really enjoyed playing with all of you.
Sorry to see you go, Wakati.
Hope things ease up in the future, and I see you around.
Wakati, if you find yourself free in the future, you're more than welcome to join us again!
Now... I was waiting for Wakati to post, so I suppose I should get around to it, eh?
Likewise, Wakati! Best of luck for future stuff.
Bummer. You've been a pleasure to game with, Wakati/GM Alias. I hope to see you around again in the future.
Yay for Bookman's Journal! More please :-)
Hey, guys. I've had to take a step back from a couple of my games to accommodate an increasing life workload.
Worry not though, I plan on keeping this game for as long as possible. :)
YYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to know what's going on with Aduard!
Phew!
Glad to know we get another reprieve! :-)
Apologies - had to travel unexpectedly. Back tomorrow, will post something then.
So... On to Harrowstone?
So... On to Harrowstone?
*Looks regretfully at Kendra carrying bottle of wine*
Yeah, ok.
Now wait, we can all drink the wine first then go to harrowstone.
;')

Haha I apologize for drawing this out, but I wanted there to be some continuity between where GM Alias left off and I picked it up.
If you guys ever feel like we're just sitting around and accomplishing nothing, let me know so I can push us forward.
I'm really enjoying it, curious to see where all the leads you're planting are gonna go! :-)
I liked what you did with Saerael :)
Harrowstone it is!
Hi all
Unfortunately life here has turned pretty crappy and is sapping my time and energy - I need to take a break and refocus.
Sorry to do this, but I'm going to have to drop out.
I've really enjoyed my time on these boards and it's been a lot of fun. Best of luck to you all, and may the dice gods ever send you a Natural 20 when you most need it.
Apologies again.
Dashil's been a lot of fun to game with (and yourself of course). Best of luck to you, DR. Hope things work themselves out.
Sorry to hear that Dashil. I've loved your dynamic with everyone. Hope life gets better.
This makes me sad.
Dashil, when you're feeling better and less harried, you're more than welcome to come back. I liked the way things were going with your character.
In the mean time, we're now down to three players. Do we want to look for another?
I never relized how many shared games I have in common with other people. Sorry to see you go Dashil.
I say the more the merrier when it makes sense.
^ Yup, it is funny how that works. 5(!) of my games just took a big hit with Dashil's player leaving the boards.
I'm down with recruiting another player, GM R0B0.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I think I've found us another player. I'll give her an opportunity to catch up and introduce herself, but in the meantime, we'll get you guys to Harrowstone as soon as possible tomorrow.
That's great news!
Thanks to all for your understanding.

Guilt.
