GM Ragged's Keep on the Unknown Borderlands

Game Master waynemarkstubbs

No worries GM, get well and feel better.

Actually the four shifts should definitely work now that I think about it. I was initially worried about us getting enough sleep/rest to prepare spells but all we really need to do is make the watches last about two and a half hours and everyone should get plenty of rest!

With that in mind, I would instead suggest we adopt a watch order similar to this :
1: Lucian & Garrun
2: Nogrogomed & Opalia
3: Ichabod & Dia
4: Finn & Scruffles

Cool with me.

Seems fine

Take your time to get back well - GM.

Sorry for the outage. Things got quite unpleasant for a few days. I have not been fortified with tea and toast and marmite, and a box of Bendicks Bittermints, which are quite simply the finest mint chocolates money can buy. I feel much better.

*Other mint chocolates are available. Void where prohibited by law

You sir have expensive tastes. I mean......real marmite. Wow.

I'm stockpiling it in the basement.

Welcome back! Glad you're feeling better.

Are we back at full HP?

Given that, aside from the 1 hp we gain resting, I had 2 uses of Fervor left and I believe Ichabod had at least one channel. I imagine we were able to finish patching everyone up before turning in for the night.

Okay great thanks :)

So...should I untie the little bugger then? Or are we waiting on something else?

Good question, I'm game to try it.

Do it.

Sorry - had a bad episode. Update this evening.

Great to hear from you! I think we all understand that sometimes life intervenes.

I'm just eager to get rolling again!

No worries. Hope everything's alright.

Just a heads up. I am flying out to visit family for the holidays tomorrow. I should be able to post throughout the visit however it may be a little sparse on occasion over the next two weeks. Please accept my preemptive apology and don't hesitate to move things forward if needed.

Ina similar vein I have a hectic schedule starting this Thursday. It should calm down by Jan 3rd but I expect this applies to others too.

Cheers

So if anyone can speak Kobold or Dragonic maybe try ask for their surrender or we start shooting?

A thousand apologies everyone. Cell service was even more limited than I'd expected over the holidays and I haven't had much chance to check on anything.

That said I'm back now and will be posting shortly.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Where is everyone??

I'll be on a week long business trip, but should still be able to post from the hotel. Don't let me hold things up if not however, and feel free to DMPC my character.

If I'm not mistaken I also winged one of the kobolds previously.

You did - the one that has been skewewred.

Damn didn'y know I was that good a shot ;)

Hi All. I'm going to pull Ichabod from this game. Just having trouble picking up the RP on this character, and keeping the momentum. Thanks for the opportunity, and look forward to gaming with you all in the future. Good luck, and I'll keep an eye on your progress.

DM: Would you please remove Ichabod from the game.

You'll be missed. I get it though. Also struggling a bit. But will see how it goes.

Cheers scranford.

All the best Scranford. Maybe we'll see you elsewhere on the boards :)

Sorry to see you go, but I understand.

Everyone - I have resolved some of my personal issues, which means that I should be able to post every other day at a minimum. Thank you for your patience.

Hi All

I'm away for a gaming weekend tomorrow followed by watching the Superbowl thru the night despite what happened to my beloved Packers.

Should re-surface some time on Monday.

Will try to post as and when, but feel free to NPC me if needed.

Cheers

So is this game dead?? Have not seen anything happening in awhile.

It will not have escaped your notice that I am terrible at predictions. When I say 'everything is fine, we can continue now' is just when things fall apart in a more extreme way. I won't recount my woes here - suffice it to say I have been struggling to hold things together in my personal, professional and family life for various reasons.

The upshot of this is that I have let you all down badly by not being able to keep up with the committment required to run a game. For this I can only apologize profoundly. I know the effort and dedication that many people put into crafting characters and keeping up with the game, and I am sorry that I have not been able to keep up my end.

Now, here's the rub - the last thing I want to do at the moment is make things worse by saying 'yeah, it's all fine now' and then finding out that it's not, and going through this whole cycle again. So I want to wait a few weeks to make sure that I can live up to any committment I make. If, after that, we can salvage anything from the game, or anyone wants to continue in some form, then we can discuss - but those who want to walk away I understand perfectly - you don't need the frustration I've put you through.

Apologies again.

Take your time, GM Ragged. Your response shows how much this matters to you. However I am scaling back my games due to increased studies and exams so I'd like to take the chance to drop out before you restart it in a few weeks.

Many Thanks and no hard feelings here
FW

If there is anyone interested in salvaging something from this game, please post so I know that you are interested.

I am interested

I signed up to another game a while back cos I thought this one was kinda dead so I'm already stretched thin. So not sure I can continue this one. Might even have to bail on another one anyway.
