GM Tarondor's Dragon's Demand (Inactive)

Game Master Tarondor

Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was awesome.

Mine was. Did half of a turkey trot. I've got until Sunday to do the rest of the 10K. Virtual race are so much fun.

Fitbit?

Yes.Fit

They are doing the worlds biggest Turkey Trot this weekend. I'm also doing the Appalachia series there. It's kind of cool. They use google earth to show the route.

I feel so old...

(53)

I have to get a new strap for mine. Keeps breaking. My work bought ours as part of the company wellness program. I crushed the two weekend challenges we did.

I work in a place where I can't have a FitBit on so I've delayed getting one until recently (Charge 2). Unexpected bonus: mega-insights into my sleeping.

Also finally got me back into the gym. Let's hope I can keep it up through the holidays.

Yea, read that story about how fitbits were accessed to track movement of US troops. Unintended consequences.

I've heard of them being used to prove someone was um not living when her husband said he saw her last. Blew his alibi out of the water.

Victims affected by a web are in the grappled condition, should require a concentration check to cast a spell, DM judgement may vary.

Out sick. Will return in a day or two.

Feel better soon!

I will be out of town (Bavaria!) from 27 December to 3 January so bot me if needed while I'm away.

I want to put forward the suggestion that we need to be OK with rearranging one another's icons (within reason) while in explore phase... like not moving more that 10ft.

It will progress things without having to wait for all four of us to post, while not putting individuals into jeopardy with traps unseen.

I rearranged us right now. If any one player is not OK with this - that is enough to not do this.

It's ok with me.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

...and Merry Christmas to everyone as well!

Merry Belated Christmas all.

I'm fine with your idea Little Liam.

Merry Christmas to all! Had a fine time down in the Bavarian Alps.

Folks - my mother has been in the ICU for two weeks. After work, I spend my evenings there. When I have a spare hour...like now... I sleep.

I'm not giving up on the game. Those of you that know me personally know how much I hate that idea. But please understand that I will not be around that much for the foreseeable future.

I am so sorry to hear about your mother - I hope things improve soon.

No worries on game. Take care of yourself and your family.

Thanks for the update.

I'll be thinking of you and your family, Scott. I'll be here ready to continue as you find the time.

Oh noes!

My posting will be slow until Friday. The motion on the ship is affecting me more than I thought it would.

Bot as needed.

My situation continues poorly, and there's really no end in sight. I apologize for the slowness - it's the best I can do for now.

I'm so terribly sorry to hear that. Take care of you and yours. We'll be here when you have time and bandwidth.

Yeah, no worries Scott. If this game crosses your mind and you feel guilt -- don't. We'll be waiting when you're ready.

Sorry for the slow posting. I've had the week from heck. Everything is fine. I've just been busy at work and busy with personal life. Usually one is busy and the other isn't so bad, and I can keep up. Not this week.

After Sunday it should get better.

Well, it's not like this campaign isn't in the slow zone for now anyway. No worries.

I am afraid this week just got away from me with so much to do as I will be travelling until March 25. I don't plan to have much time or access during, so please feel free to bot Eliastra as you see fit. Once I am back, life should balance much more than it has been.

It was an awful week for me, Eli. But I'm back now. Chime in if you can. If not, we'll bot you.

Sorry for the delay in response. It was really a busy week and I've been away from the computer! My actions should pick up, now.

I'll be away from good computer access May 23-May 27 (Paizo Con) and completely away from the computer May 30-June 3 (family visiting). Feel free to bot me as needed.

I'm kinda sensing a lack of interest.

Is there something I can be doing to improve the game?

Assuming that if a player sees they are being addressed, they reply, then it is a lack of checking the thread routinely.

The other possibility I just don't get. If your PC is being asked or has an action and you see that and don't post, that makes no sense.

So it has to be players not checking the thread regularly.

I started to bot Eliastra about mid-week but stopped because it was particularly dangerous. I would have moved her to into the room which might have killed her, so I did nothing. I didn't think to move her backward.

I think May is a really busy month. I know I was just utterly swamped which some days makes it hard to read through all my posts. I have also had a number of posts disappear on me, so I assume others have as well.

I've just noticed that we never leveled up to 2nd level after the initial dungeon. You'll all make 2nd as soon as this combat is over.

Just to FYI the group, the only addition for Liam for 2nd level is one more cantrip - I plan to take read magic. It feeds into his developing story learning about how to use and control magic

Sorry for the response delay. An unusual start to the week threw me off my tempo.

Liam -- looks good. I haven't given any thought to Thorny's yet. Gotta find about 20-30 minutes to dig through the books. I'm certain I had a plan in the beginning, now I just have to remember what it is. Certainly more meat-shield-y.

Embarrassing - Liam already has Read Magic…

Went with Acid Splash instead so he could participate more in the combat scenarios.

I'll get Val leveled up in the next 24 hours.

Val is leveled. She got some skills and one zero level spell. Nothing exciting at level 2.

I'll be away from good computer access July 12 through 22. It's time for summer holidays. Feel free to bot me.

I have finished going through Thorny's skills. I had not calculated his armor check penalty into several of them and I believe he may have 1 or 2 extra ranks. I am tracking that he should have 6 total skill ranks. 4 per level. 2 as a figher, 1 as favored class, 1 for being human, and 0 for INT bonus.

I gave him an average d10 (5) for hit point increase. I presume that was permissible or preferred.

Oil changed, tires balanced. He's ready to go.

Thorny should get average rounded up, or 6 hp.

I will be taking my family to beach this week and will have no Internet connection.

I'll be gone from Monday August 12 to Saturday, August 17.

Have fun while I'm gone!

Have a good trip.

Enjoy!

Welcome back. I hope your trip was good.

It was, thanks!

To all the players in my games:

I'm sorry for my spotty attendance lately. It's been a fairly awful week at work. I haven't been home before 10:00 or seen my kids awake in the evening in days.

It's short term, though and I'll be back at it soon. Thanks for your patience.
