GM ShadowLord's Rise of the Runelords Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master GM ShadowLord

Yeah I couldn't pick this up either, I'd be a terrible GM :(

I think picking up someone external without knowledge of the party and previous events can do more harm than good. That is unless the person is really motivated for the AP and to give continuity to the party.

We can try it out, and I might get a very pleasant surprise, but I have not seen great success for long running adventures.

I can run both Kiley and the AP, if you guys don't mind. I am just not sure how good of a job I'll do of making the transition less awkward.

If you're up for it, go for it :3

If you're willing then awesome! Hopefully you won't have to do it for long because Crispy returns. If we decide he isn't then we can always look for a more permanent solution.

Let's see what the others say first. :)

Sounds good. I'm in another game with a dmpc which is going pretty decently :).

I trust you, Kiley. Just be sure this is what you want to do. It should be fun for all of us.

Well, I do enjoy coming up with fun little things to tortu-- I mean enjoy with my players.

I'll have something up either tomorrow or wednesday night. I need to look over this part of the adventure and see what's going on.

Also, be forewarned, I can come up with some pretty depraved things and the next chapter is pretty fertile ground for that kind of stuff. If you could, please let me know about what your limit is. I hope that Crispy will be back soon, but if not, I'd like to be prepared.

I played 40k and shadowrun. I think I can take everything you can toss my way as a player ;).

Might want to put it in spoilers though as it is public :).

I tend to keep it PG-13ish, so spoilers shouldn't be necessary, it's just I have a bit of knack for finding characters' emotional weak spots and hitting them hard.

PG-13?

Are you saying we're a teen sex comedy in Pathfinder form?

... maybe.

Well, I say that. If you want, you can read over my RotRL game to get a feel for how I tend to do things.

So, everyone okay with how things are going so far?

Yep, can't wait to see what happens to us.

That is certainly interesting. Keep going.

Lol, loving this, Murphy really was an optimist, at least when it comes to luck going our way.

Oh noes! Jess and Kiley have been kidnapped from their totally chaste same-sex bed!

Welp, time for Grace to make tea and question the handsome priest for intel!

The thing that gets me is no one has even noticed that Kiley's missing.

Sorry, it had been awhile so I couldn't remember if Sunday saw Kiley to up to Jessica's room before he and Grace left or not.

My bad, I should have checked. :(

It's not a bad thing, just something I find funny is all. That said, it will be obvious once someone starts searching the room.

Well, we were at urge to follow Jessica's kidnappers. I do not know if Kiley was with her I believe we just saw Jessica's with the kidnappers.

Has Kiley also disappeared? XD

Actually it said that each of the running figures had someone thrown over their shoulder, it wasn't stated outright that it was Kiley, but the implication was there.

And just think, I'm running a RotRL game where I've been coming up with things from the start. :D

My poor players, I've got things out to book 4 in the works and they have no idea.

... I missed that.

F~$+.

Actually it said that each of the running figures had someone thrown over their shoulder, it wasn't stated outright that it was Kiley, but the implication was there.

Yuup, true! I paid not enough attention. Not that it would had changed a anything anyway :(

Just a heads up, I'll probably not be posting much this weekend. My cousin is getting married and I'm in the wedding.

Me too

Well, things are about to get really interesting. >:)

When you have to have your friends bribe your parents in order to spend quality time with them...

About the weaknesses topic, some things in my opinion might be applicable:

- Kiley has a strong fear that people will fail her and she gets emotional when it happens. Her parents left her alone (not their fault really), Tal attempted to manipulate her will, she has difficulty to close up with people, only the extreme loyalty of Daud and she seeing the man has had even more horrible past allowed him to approach her.

- Jessica seems naive, although this is changing fast, and her inherent assumption everybody is good until they prove the contrary makes her vulnerable to those wanting to get profit of her.

- Tal seems over-confident, whatever he wants, he takes it assuming he is always worth and capable of it, which makes him vulnerable to over challenge and others disappointment.

My two cents! I might be very wrong, I guess all three of you can better explain your character motivations!

I think Delendir has hit the nail square on the head for Jessica. She's led a largely sheltered life until now and is having things thrust at her that prove to her she was wrong to view the world as she has. It's a harsh, scary, and dangerous place now. Despite the changes to her world view she is still too trusting and will continue to be. Jessica has too much optimism in her for anything else and her desire to believe that people are better than they are will be both her greatest strength and weakness in the end.

Spot on with Tal too. You could easily put some nice looking dames in front of him and see how he handles it. And how Jess handles Tal afterwards :p.

Still here Salsa?

Yeah, i'm checking with someone to see if they'd be interested in doing this full time. I'll try to have a post up later today.

As in running it full time instead of you?

And cool!

Yep. But he didn't know for sure if he'd have the time until after the new year. I want to keep the game going, but at the same time I'm not as invested into it as I would be a game I'm GMing, hence why posting has been slow. Would you guys be fine with posting a recruitment for a new GM? I am enjoying playing with you guys, but I don't think I can handle GMing three games at the moment.

I would, it's been just over a month since he vanished, odds are he won't be back anytime soon.

Also, understandable Kiley, I'm glad you did as much as you had and have to say I'd love playing in something you run someday, I like your style thus far.

Yeah, thank you for all you've done for us :3

Agreed! I don't mind a new GM and having our messy haired girlfriend back.

GM Recruitment thread.

Feel free to add anything you feel is important. I would like for everyone to at least introduce themselves, but that's not 100% necessary.

I checked in on the recruitment thread.

So has Grace.

So, we have DM Mathpro interested. Any thoughts?

Good initiative Kiley.

I fear DM Mathpro offer is more willing than real :/
Reasons here.

I plan to post something in the recruitment thread during today.

I have to admit, that I feel the same. I was in a game of his this past spring that went belly up before we even go going good.

I don't really have room to talk there, I'm afraid, so I can't judge.

I agree, not sure about him after that game Delendir linked.

So, the consensus seems to be a no on Mathpro. I'll go ahead and post in the thread no one objects.

Seeing as we've only got one bite and we're throwing him back, I'm going to try and continue the game until we get lucky, or I just give up on finding someone to take over.

That and I've gotten an itch to run a Fate game set in a mashup of the Roaring Twenties and Firefly (The players are the crew of a free trader, who also happen to be smugglers/bootleggers). I wouldn't feel right trying to get that going while letting this sputter and stall. Sorry, I must seem like the wishy-washiest person on the planet right now. Can you guys forgive me that? :)

Welp, it looks like we may have a new GM if you guys agree with me. I've been playing alongside KyleS for a while and he's pretty good about posting. I don't see him dropping off the face of the earth for no reason and he's given a heads up whenever he was going to be gone for extended periods of time.

Admittedly, I've never played with him as a GM before.
