Cool cool :) - if you can fit in a quick into post over on the discussion I can start engaging with the others... not that I don't know them all already though...
Your introduction has been done!
Only if we went with the eeeeevil side of the AP... but I'd think that to be truly Goblinish you'd have to rig the harness to keep you right way up while the ant is upside down :P
Nah the goblin way would be to use sovereign glue to keep yourself in the saddle. See problem solved.
According to the KS page, we've got another couple of weeks to wait at least. E-fulfillment expected for Book 1 in early June.
No problem. Will be fun to dive in, but don't mind the little break. Should have the creative juices flowing by the time we create characters.
No problem here, either; I'll be off vacating the first couple of weeks of June.
I like the new look DMVoV...creepy!
1. No problem with june
2. nice mask. :7)
Will there be a Player's Guide for the AP?
Cynara,
Not sure just yet - but I'll be able to paraphrase and pass on detail as required for character choices and concepts.
Any updates, DM V?
Nothing yet - the FMG guy is back from his holiday and said it's almost there... but no PDF yet.
Heads-up in case the new adventure gets off the ground while I'm on vacation that I am very interested. Will keep an eye on things as best I can while I'm gone.
DM will be away on his own vacation starting 27th June until 17th July in sunny Hawaii... so no worries :)
Advanced warning that your DM will be on vacation starting 27th June all the way through to 17th July. We will be taking our first big ol' vacation in six years and swanning off to Hawaii (both Kauai and Oahu). Our first trip to the US, and despite needing about 16 hours in a plane to get there - we are still super excited :)
However since we'll be travelling with only an i-pad for computer support it will be wholly untenable to keep DM-ing for you during that time. So the thread shall go on a short hibernation while I'm off sinking deep into Kalua pig, malasadas and loco moco. Fear not for I shall return fully recharged and reinforced for the onward push towards subterrainian lands and the horrors that dwell within.
First volume of Throne of Night should come out while I'm abroad and we'll be decently positioned to charge in once I get back.
Enjoy, mate! Hawai'i is one of a dozen or so US states I haven't been to, so I can't give you any tips for places to visit.
Hve fun, DM. Sounds like a blast!
Have a great time VoV! We're quite enjoying this much colder island right now. I haven't been to Hawaii since 1989 so I'm afraid all of my advice will be long, long out of date :)
Sounds like an awesome vacation, have fun!
The wife and I loved Hawaii. Made loco moco and kalua pork part of our meal rotation.
Sounds like a fun trip.
Get a window seat and long flights become a full sensory IMAX experience called "OH Man The Earth is Cool!!"
Well at least that is what happened on my big NL vacation.
Interesting...I guess after three months of inactivity in the Gameplay thread, a campaign is set to inactive. Drop us a PM when you're ready to get rolling again, DM V.
Have put up a wee post in the gameplay to resurrect the thread as a waiting zone. Am back from vacation and Oahu and Kauai were indeed most excellent and nascent plans are in place for spending of accrued long service leave time on Kauai. 16 hours in a plane yesterday and 6 hours time difference to acclimatise to will make recovery relatively slow.
No word or sign of when to expect the first volume of Throne of Night... so we'll still be waiting with bated breath a while longer. Gary's KS pages and FB show a few of the signs of deadline stress and concern - but we've a chance to be patient enough for him to work through it and rise back above it all again. Hopefully we can kick off in August some time methinks.
Yeah, we're very patient, maybe we can reassure him. I'm sure they want to get it out asap and some people are pressuring them, but I'd rather have them take their time and bring out another awesome AP. We'll be below the earth again soon enough.
Yeah - I think most of the problem came from the Creature Cards KS - which had some production hiccups that are likely causing further delays to that project. But the less patient underbelly of KS is making alot of noise which is never a good thing to log on to read about.
I'm with your opinion Feigr - take some time, take it slow and get out a quality product.
I am just starting reading volume 5 of Way of the Wicked and I am blown away how good that AP is. If the next one compares, I think we will all be really happy. Assuming it gets released, lol.
No rush. We are content in limbo.
there are cookies.
At least a few folks on the boards are getting discouraged by the lack of updates; see HERE.
That seems to happen pretty regularly hang tight everyone.
Yeah; about the only KS I've backed that didn't have some small delays was Razor Coast (though FGG is usually very good in that regard). In the case of RC, though, I think it was because everyone involved with making it knew that they had no reserve of goodwill left after the initial publishing debacle.
Worst case we go back to playing Hunger in the Darkness. I hope ToN does see the light of day though.
Worst one I've been in so far is Kittens in a Blender, though sadly Quantum is about as bad right now. They're both coming out but far behind schedule.
Razor Coast was pretty much done when they did the KS. A lot of these others hadn't started. I think the thing that really delays a lot of these is all of the extra goodies that get added by the KS. I'd probably feel differently about things if I was really pacing my consumption of RPG materials, but I get so many things through subscriptions, PFS scenarios, 3rd party purchases, and the 1-2 KS a month I seem to join that I don't really notice the late ones.
FMG is just being plagued by delays (more so to his Creature Cards) and an inability to effectively manage communication / PR. Gary has a tendency to keep silent and wait for 'confirmed' news, where as the better option is to put up short but regular updates even if they say nothing.
I've been reasonably lucky / cautious on KS, but still have a couple of items that I'm waiting for that are over 12 months from first estimate. But, then it's all good and I tend to not get stressed over it.
Just in case everything comes together this week, a heads up that I will be at GenCon and unavailable Thursday through Sunday. I suspect we're at least a few weeks at least from getting this one underway though.
Yeah - unlikely... Enjoy GenCon!
Check out the Shadows of Esteren booth - if for nothing other than the art eye candy :)
Don't mind me just casing the joint......
<...whistling...>
Nothing to report - last update on KS was August 13 with:
Book One of Throne of Night will be out in PDF by the end of August. Book Two should follow by the end of September.
So hypothetically it should be any day now.
Well hopefully soon! I'm excited to see what this one will be like.
I'm just about convinced Gary has fleeced us all on this one.
Well folks have started getting their creature cards so I think there is still some small hope.
...But then Love is basically an optimist.
I met Gary at PaizoCon and I think it's just a much larger AP than he was anticipating. I have every confidence in his ability to deliver but writing what is essentially two adventures in each AP isn't easy for a two man operation.
Looking forward to it once its here for sure :)
I don't think Gary is a fleecer any more than Nick Logue was with Sinister. He's just gotten himself into a place where he's become overwhelmed with the work and everything else... and as Love indicates he's probably knee deep in sending out a few hundred packages of Creature Card fulfillments one at a time to the backers of that.
Slow, steady, late... but hopefully it'll come. I mean... still waiting on Quantum right Padrym ;)
Yeah, that's a project I would love to see fulfilled. I want my nation to see the light of day! :D
That is Josh's Kickstarter one right? I had for some reason thought that was done. (Guess that is how much I have paid attention)
This one - funded back in December 2011.
It's had issues, but he's working on it still.
The pdf is supposedly going to be released to backers within a week. With 4 comments on the KS site so far, two are saying some version of "Good to hear from you, and we'll believe it when we see it."
Well I'll take that as good news!
