One of the players at another table brought up a good point. Full rewards can be achieved without finishing this scenario.
Given the severe website problems recently and the start of Cosmic Captive in a few days, I am asking whether players would prefer to finish the scenario or stop once full gold and prestige have been earned.

Hi,
I'm posting this on all my PbPs, as player or GM - I had a family emergency last Monday, due to an accident, and had not been able to post or even communicate of my absence. In parallel, as a consequence of the situation not improving, my undivided attention on such matter will be required on the months to follow and, therefore, I'm stepping out of most of my activity online. I apologize for the inconveniences it might cause and I wish you all the best, and fun on your games. Thanks all for the understanding and for the opportunity to play with you.

Seeing as how we are down to three players, one of whom does not post regularly, I am going to call this one.
Chronicles are here.
And it's time for feedback. Public or private is fine with me, and Shifty has offered to filter any feedback which wishes to remain anonymous. Do whatever works best for you.
In particular, I would like to ask:
- Did you find the game easier to follow with the mechanics in spoilers?
- Did marking movement with arrows help during combat?

Thank you for running, I had fun playing. Totally fine with stopping where we were.
I wanted to say thank to everyone else as well. I was really nervous coming into this but now I feel a little more confident about this format. My big concern with myself was whether I was trying to "do too much" or if I was okay with how much of my action I was putting in at once, specifically with out of combat situations. I would especially appreciate feedback on that aspect of my posts.
As to your specific requests, I found that the game mechanics and rolls in the open were not too disruptive, if there was only a little bit spread through the post. The spoilers were best when everything was behind one spoiler, for this I am referring to the PCs' posts. The GM posts were perfectly fine as far as the use of spoilers go. I liked the DC's up front so we could see what we knew without waiting for the GM to respond, even if I was frustrated by my inability to identify a skeleton because the die roller betrayed me. :P When there were multiple spoilers on one PC post it drew my eye away from the meat of the post.
Moving on to the arrows, I found it quite helpful. I was still uncomfortable just moving another PCs marker around when we were botting them on the off chance they would not post in time, hence why I was marking Xs for where I was moving them, I hope that was an okay alternative and not disruptive for anyone else, including the GM.

All of the tables are finally finished!
While I am happy to have tried the experiment, it is not something I want to repeat. The workload was definitely manageable, but it ended up not being fun for me. And I suspect that many of you would also have enjoyed it better if I was able to focus more on quality and less on quantity.
I will be cutting back to five tables for the next round, which means we are short a lot of seats. GM Hmm came up with a great idea though. Once the GM School finishes, those players will be running The Wounded Wisp, and they have agreed to reserve seats for those of you who won't be playing the sceanrio with me.
I've sent PMs to the players who will be going through Wounded Wisp with me. For everybody else, please RSVP here if you want to reserve a spot for the next round of the Wisp.
I don't know for sure, but most likely those games will run as part of GameDay VI, which starts the end of August.
