I'm still trying to get control of the thread, but as soon as Paizo gets around to granting me control, Zolarus, I will remove you!

I will be travelling starting the 2nd and won't be able to post until probably the 4th or 5th, as I'll be tiiiiiired. In the meantime, have a happy new year!

Sounds good. I'll probably kick this off, softly, sometime in the next 24 hours. But there's a bit of talk before we get to the meat of the thing, so no worries.

Since we're not sitting around a real-life table and able to see each other's reactions to things, I like to highlight or remark on stuff that I particularly appreciate in a PbP game (I'm pretty conservative in my use of the Favorite button, but I'm loosening up a bit). With that in mind, I loved the description of Zora's white eyes as 'filled with morning mist.'
I had a GM in one of my early PbP experiences who was really adept at descriptions of color, and I keep telling myself to pay more attention to it in my own writing - this is a good reminder!

GM: This came up in one of my other games, and I wanted to get your take on it.
1) How do you feel about things such as Point Blank Shot affecting spells? IE PBS gives a +1/+1 bonus to attacks that are <30'.
2) Would this also affect spells trigger items?

Our Mysterious Benefactor |

PBs affects any attack roll, be it weapon or spell but only those spells with an attack roll.

At a con today, will update tomorrow in all likelihood.

Sorry guys for disappearing like that. Somehow it seems I have displeasured Urgathoa, she sent a nasty plague my way.
I am recovering now. Unfortunately that does not mean I will rejoin you as I will be leaving for a family holiday tomorrow. I will be back on March 6th and hope I am fully recovered at that time.

No worries. As I think I told you... I will be out of the country next week, so if we slow down, no worries, we'll grind back into gear when everyone is back and ready!

I apologize for my lack of posting or slowdown of late. These last two weeks have seen a great many things come up professionally, medically, and now legally. I will catch up and post as best as I can, but while dealing with health issues with the wife, I am also going through a professional transition from a job that I held for over 5 years and back into the medical field, as well as dealing with the legal system after a teacher at my son’s school not only battered him in the classroom multiple times but dragged him through the hallway by his neck. This might be considered a bit of oversharing by some, but I wanted you all to understand and I felt “Life is getting rough” was a bit too vague.
I will update as I can and will continue my games, but please understand if my pace temporarily slows. If I am a player and you need to bot me to maintain pace, please do so with my apologies. If you are in a game I am GM’ing, I have not and will not abandon you and I will update as I am able to.

I'm so very sorry to hear that, Mikail, especially about what's happened to your son. As James says, we'll be here when things settle down a bit and you have the time and headspace to come play with us.

Thank you for sharing Mikail. Take your time, the things you are dealing with are far more important than this game of ours. I hope your son is able to cope with what happened.

Thank you for your kind words and your thoughts.. I really appreciate them. Things are settling down a touch now that the immediate emergency is over, but I do not expect to be back to my full posting schedule for maybe another week or so. I will post as I am able though.

Ok guys, s*+@ hit the fan in a real way, and I completely ditched you for much longer than what I intended to. For this I really apologize. I still have a few things percolating, but the majority of things are if not resolved then at least on a back burner for right now. I am still going through a few transitions, but I hope that the majority of the insanity is past. I will be striving my utmost to get back to my daily post rates.
James: I understand that I have been absent for quite some time as far as the game is concerned. If you feel it necessary to dock me or even drop me from the scenario, I completely understand. Please just let me know how you wish to proceed with this. I will refrain from posting until I hear back from you.

Mikail,
No worries, man. If you didn't prioritize real life, I would worry about you! Things happen. Hopefully more nice things than bad happen, but we don't always have that luxury. You are of course welcome to stay and play as long as you wish.
James

Sorry folks, work hit me hard. Tomorrow is a national holiday over here and it might be that I won’t have time in the weekend either.
And to make matters worse I will also be out of internet for a few days between May 2nd and May 6th because of a short holiday. Please bot me when required.

![]() |

I will be heading out on an extended vacation where I will have no internet access, and will be gone May 5-23. Then, May 25-28, I'll be at PaizoCon and will likely have very little time to post. Please bot me as necessary during this time.

I guess it is time for the good old "I was just having some fun at your expense" bluff ;-)

![]() |

Sorry folks, I have some real life things to take care of. Hope to be back into business on Thursday. Please bot me.

![]() |

I will be offline this weekend because I am enjoying a city trip with my wife. I will be back on Monday.

![]() |

My online presence will be less than usual for the next two weeks due to a family vacation. Please bot me if you are waiting for me.

DM - are you set up to receive PM’s here on the boards? Sent you one a bit ago, just checking if you got it. It’s hard to tell if you have new messages on this new board setup too, you have to look for the tiny red dot next to where it says “My Account” at the top of the page.

Hello everyone. Just popping in to let you all know that I'm alive and well, if not a bit tattered from the last year or so. It's been a terrible ride, but I'm back on the boards. Good to see you guys are still going strong!
I'm not trying to get back into the game or anything, I lost all my digital chronicle sheets and my paper ones, and I'll likely have to start over with any pfs characters, but some of you expressed concern via pm when I first went dark so I'm just letting you know GM Evil is back.

Our Mysterious Benefactor |

Welcome back, Soran! If you need any PFS sheets re-created, let me know, It's good to see you back and alive and well!

![]() |

It probably won't matter, as the Paizo site is rarely up these days, but I'll be at a local con this weekend and won't be posting much.
And Soran, I had missed this post from you - very glad you're back!

![]() |

OMB, if you could shoot me all the chronicles for Soran that he played under you, that would be great. I'll have to redo his purchase sheet but that shouldn't be too bad. Thanks!
Also, maybe remove me from the active players for this thread? It's a little disheartening seeing my old adventuring buddies having fun without me. :[

Re:Continuing
I'm game, if you are willing to put up with Kharnia and my feast or famine posting of late.
In the meantime:
PFS#: 43451-18
Day Job: Craft (Poison - I prefer to think of them as really good drugs): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
