I am making a preemptive apology to everyone with whom I am involved in games. My posting for the next month or so will be sporadic. For games I am playing, I will try to check in once a day. For games I am running, there may be gaps of a few days between moves. I ask that folks not give up on me.
This is convention season for me. I am scheduled to attend four conventions in the next month, one as staff. This means a LOT of prep time (as I am running at least three games at each convention, all of which I need to actually write).
Anyway, this is just a heads-up to let you know what is happening. If you must drop me, I understand. I would prefer that if I get behind, you just have my character do what seems logical. Thanks.
SO, we'll let the NPCs do what we think is logical?
Captain hands over the ship to me!! :D
I think we all understand real life comes first! Good luck with your seasonal rush. :)
Good luck with the CONs!
I am enjoying the campaign, so I will be happy to wait it out until your schedule returns to normal.
Just do me a favor and post a brief, "Hi, I'm still here" post every few days. Even if you don't have time to leave a full post, just knowing that you're still there helps maintain crew morale.
Now I really wish Ayaki had gotten that boat.
Everyone needs to ask themselves: "How long can you tread water?" :)
About as long as our Con and Swim checks allow us, mostly likely.
Satinder will just look at you funnily, seeing as you haven't gotten any crabs yet ;)
Should we go ahead and post our round one actions?
Since these things are grapplers, I'm guessing we have to post in order to prevent having to post again and change our actions, yes?
Everyone okay?
Still here, waiting!
Present and accounted for!
Also still around. Remember, Whtknt did say his posting would be sporadic this month.
That said, no reason we can't have a discussion about our characters are developing the party dynamic. For example, though Alwen isn't actually trying to become a leader, he's been on a roll with his diplomacy checks with the crew. And pretty much making a large presence of himself on the boat. If and when we get a boat of our own, I'd think he'd make a decent first mate.
I don't necessarily want to become "captain", but I don't see Satinder stepping aside easily when the thing would come up.
That being said, Alwen as first mate and Chumtooth as bodyguard, she can live with that ;)
I see Chumtooth ending up as the new boatswain. He's a comptetant sailor, and he's scary enough to ensure the Captain's orders are followed.
Bangkha for Admiral!
Though in fact, I think he'd be better suited as a pilot. High sailor skills, zero or less people skills. A few spells at higher levels to make the ocean and the wind our friend....
Perhaps quartermaster? Certainly nothing involving the rigging!
Satinder, captain!
Alwen, first mate
Chumtooth, boatswain (bosun)
Bangkha, sailing master
Dantes, Quarter Master
Ayaki, Ship's Entertainment (:p)
First Mate
Boatswain
Master Gunner
Ship’s Cook
Quartermaster
Sailing Master
Surgeon/Carpenter
...
Topless woman as captain, exactly ;)
And you are better at being the spymaster on the ship, the eyes and ears. Let the woman with the wooden leg be captain, you can have all the sex you want. ;)
Watches the conversation turn from wooden legs to sex and winces.
Have fun! Bring back plenty of photos!

Two days to go before we put on CoastCon. This is the big one for me (as I am the Game Room Director). I will try to check in on games I am involved with tomorrow and Thursday, but may not be able to do so. I will not be on at all Friday through Sunday. I should be able to resume normal posting on Monday. Please bot me as necessary.
If you are in one of the games I am running, I ask that you remain patient and we will resume on Monday with a more regular schedule. And, of course, if you are in the Mississippi area, feel free to stop by CoastCon in Biloxi this weekend. We are a sci-fi/fantasy convention in our 37th year and our Gaming Guest of Honor is none other than Mike Brock (our Media Guest of Honor is John de Lancie)!
Thanks for the heads-up. Good luck with the Con!
Yes, very much appreciate you checking in. Hope the cons are going smoothly for you! :)
How'd things go at the Con?

It was an awesome con! This was my wife's first year as Con Director, and for the most part, everything went smoothly. Everyone I've spoken to seemed to enjoy it.
Mike Brock (yes, THAT Mike Brock) was our Gaming Guest of Honor and spent every free moment at the Pathfinder tables, playing with the gamers. He was nothing short of fantastic! Terrific guy, as well. He had some great stories about GenCon and PaizoCon.
My wife, Gods bless her, put her money where her mouth is. Our charity is the Pink Hearts Fund, a group that provides wigs, breast prostheses, and other medical supplies to those recovering or suffering from various diseases, free of charge.
My lovely and kind wife stepped up and put her hair into our charity auction, taking bids to allow it to be cut. In the end, she raised $500 for the charity AND then donated the cut hair to make a child's wig!

Since FB wants to be stupid, I have provided a few photos:
My wife in Starfleet uniform (we are members of Starfleet International, U.S.S. Neptune chapter, my wife is the one in the middle)
Very cool. They did a nice job with the "shearing". Her hair still looks nice after the fact.
Yeah, glad to see they didn't take it all off.. That would have been a sight to behold :)
How much money was raised in general, if you don't mind me asking?
--
Side note: We waiting for players or the dm to continue?

Bangkha approves.
Looks like a really good time, and wigs for women and children is a really good thing.
Huzzah! Time to finish off some reefclaws, then.
With regard to the question of who gets their stuff back:
Chumtooth can manage without, so as a player, I am not worried about getting my gear back immediately.
Chumtooth may, on the other hand, argue differently. ;-)
Alwen's advocating for the squishy wizard, as said wizard needs both his spellbook and spell component pouch to be useful to him - err, the party.
Agreed, the squishy wizard needs help! And now is a good time to make friends with him; before he gets Craft Wondrous Items at third level! :)
Yeah, the rest can get by on their own. Well, except for poor Satinder. She needs a healbot :-p
Huzzah! Hooray for a new day!
I know it is a lot of work to run a PbP game, and I appreciate you doing it. By all means, take whatever time you need and we'll see you here when you are ready.
Satinder, still ready to go (again) :)
I would go with Option C, simply because it would still allow for unusual circumstances (like a random encounter table.)
I'll be out of town til monday, please bot me as needed til then.
